But for the nights of July 16 and

test night in "a years, or since the
government established a weather bu-
reau in Topeka. The populace rolled

reached by the thermometer in all the
night was 81. That is but one degree

The night followed the hottest day
since 1901. The temperature Tuesday
reached los degrees twice, once at

readings were for 104 degrees as the
highest.
Only four days in the last "a years
have been hotter. They came in 1901
when the los mark was caught on the

hotter than los. That was July "a,

VERNON OUT OF 1T.
Kansas Negro Registrar of Treasury
Will Quit.

Kansas City, April 27.-Professor
William T. Vernon, registrar of the
United States treasury, has decided to
give up his $4,000 a year Office in
Washington. He will return to Kan
sas next month to take his place again
at the head of the Industrial depart
ment of the Western University for
negroes at Quindaro, under board of
trustees appointed by Governor Stubbs.
The salary of the school position is
$1,S00 a year.
Recently Professor Vernon, who is
a negro and who had been with the
university fourteen years, was told by
the trustees of the industrial depart
ment, Governor Stubbs concurring,
that it would be his duty toward the
educational uplift of his people to
sacrifice his political position at Wash
ington and devote all his energy to the
school. Professor Vernon did not see
it in that light at the time and resign
ed his school position. A letter, writ
ten by the trustees a few days ago
pointing out the mistake he was max
ing, brought a telegraphic reply from
Professor Vernon that he had recon
sidered and would give up the Wash
ington position at once.

Then Cox yielding to the inevitable
cast the 81 Hamilton county votes for
Harding and that finished it. The con-

the beginning of the vote made pos

| BRISTOW IS DREAMING,
VIM. v. King Says Tariff Had Moth
ing to Do With Cotton Speculation.

New York. July 27.--Wm. v. King,
superintendent of the New York Cot
ton exchange, said today of the charge
of Senator Bristow at Topeka that SEN
ator Aldrich had forced an increase in
the cotton tariff in the interest of stock
gamblers: -
ST am unable to find any Justifica-
tion for these statements in the actual
conditions prevailing; there has been
no profit in manufacturing cotton
goods under conditions that have ex-
listed for months.
Speculation in cotton. which has
been so heavy during the last year, of
course, has no relation whatever to the
tariff. We export raw cotton, and the
schedules referred to could not in any
way have promoted the speculation in
cotton futures so far as I can see."
Theodore H. Price said:
"I can not see the slightest relation
between the tariff and. the big cotton
speculation that has recently taken
place in New York and the other cot
ton centers. If there has been any
speculation in cotton mill securities I
have not heard of it: it certainly has
not taken place in New York. as they
are not listed on the New York Stock
exchange"
