CONGRESS ENDS LONG GRIND
Cores Charges Of Attempted Bribery
Will Be Probed.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
walked out of the capitol at l o'clock
Saturday night smiling. The second
session of the sixty-frst congress had
just adjourned and he had signed
practically all matters of legislation
that had been placed before him.
Each house of congress marked its
closing hour by voting for an investi-
cation of the McMurray Indian con-
tracts. Instead of the usual scene of
comparatively undignifed relaxation
from the business Of legislation, both
houses devoted exceedingly serious
attention to the charges of attempted
bribery and other forms of improper
influence made in the senate yester-
day by Senator Gore of Oklahoma and
subsequently in the house of repre-
sentatives by Representative Murphy
of Missouri.
Two separate Investigations are pro-
vided for, one in each house. Each
house passed a resolution creating a
select committee Of five members to
pursue the inquiry to the bottom dur
ing the recess of congress and to re-
port whether n of it's members are
or have been interested in any of these
contracts.

BRIDES SEE HUSBANDS SHOT
Two Men Executed in Mexico on
Charge of Sedition.

Mexico City.-Two brides were made
widows a few hours after the wedding
ceremonies were performed in the pen
itentiary at Valladolid, Yucatan, when
their husbands faced a firing squad
selected to execute them in accordance
with sentences passed upon them after
trial by the war department for sedi-
ton and murder.
Immediately after the death SEN
fences were pronounced on the three
men charged with murder, two OF them
asked permission to marry before they
were executed.
Their requests were granted by the
authorities and the young women to
whom they were engaged went to the
prison at the hour agreed upon for the
marriage ceremonies, knowing that
within a few hours the men they were
to marry we're to be legally shot.

Washington, d. Notwithstanding
the fact that action ON many impor-

COTTON CROP BETTER WORK OF CONGRESS
TOO MUCH RAIN IN GEORGIA AND
THE CAROLlNAS.
While Rains Would Be Helpful to the
West, Fair Weather Is Needed
East Of Mississippi River.

Memphis, Tenn.-COtton in the SO-th
has grown more during the past seven
days than in any similar period this
season, a fact due generally to higher
temperatures. Where the rainfall has
not been excessive, as it was in North
Carolina, Southern Georgia and in
scattered localities elsewhere east of
the Mississippi river, cultivation made
rapid progress and the fields are clean.
In North Carolina and Southern
Georgia grass has become a menace,
but little damage has been done that
two weeks of favorable weather will
not overcome.
In Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Eastern Texas there are few com
plants. The crop did well and is be-
coming really promising.
In Central and Western Texas rain
is beginning to be needed, although W
to the present time, save i'll the most
western counties, where cotton is
grown in quantity, no important harm
has been done to the crop.
Oklahoma, too, will soon be dry
The plant in Western states, as else
where, is small, and moisture would
greatly stimulate its growth.
