PRESIDENT ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
LATEST PLANS.
Warship VIII Be Sailing HomeWard
by christmas-Pneumatic Gals
sons Will BE Used.

Beverly. Mass.-If. plans which
President Taft regards favorably are
adopted, the battleship Maine, sunk
in Havana harbor twelve years ago,
which since then has concealed the
secret of the disaster which over.
whelmed her, may be sailing home.
ward on or before Christmas, bearing
a long-delayed verdict to the nation
John F. O'Rourke, Of New York,
submitted the plans to President Taft.
They pored over them for two hours.
Both were much interested, II not en-
~thusiastic, when Mr.. O'Rourke depart
ed from the summer capital with in
structions tt meet the president In
Washington during the last week In
September, when definite action will
be taken.
The plan provides for raising the
Maine BY means of pneumatic Gals,
sons and steel cables. The ship will
be preserved intact, MI. O'Rourke
says, with every evidence OF the dis
aster which she may bear.
1t Is purposed to construct on piles
a line of wharves about twenty feet
from either side of the ship. Between
it and the wharves will be sunk pneu
matte caissons to a depth of about
ten feet below the keel of the Maine
Cables will be passed down n side
Of the caissons under the Maine and
up the other side to the %caissons
there. These cables will be placed
at intervals Of four feet and form a
cable in which the Maine will rest

COTTON MILLS WILL RESUME
Secretary of Manufacturers Is Opt
mjstic Over Outlook.

Boston, Mass.-When the members
of the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers assemble at Hotel
Wentworth, Portsmouth, N. H., for
their semi-annual meeting, September
Is, 16 and II, it will probably be given
out that there will be a general re-
sumption of activity among cotton
mills all over the country early in
October.
C. j. H. Woodbury., secretary and
treasurer of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers, said that he
believed it to be a fact, as everything
now seemed to point that way.
There is no surplus Of manufac-
tured cotton goods" said Mr.. Wood
bury, "and by that time m~anufactur-
ers will have new cotton to work
with. Cotton mills have curtailed pro-
duction the last year to a greater ex
tent than any other industry. By
October 10 the price of goods will
probably have advanced to a point
where manufacturers can produce at
a profit. The bulk of low-priced cot
ton has been worked up, and mills
will resume operations practically
upon the same basis, without the
probability of great irregularity in the
price Of finished goods and a conse-
ouent unsettlement Of the market.

BARNES KNOCKS TEDDY
NEW YORK LEADER SAYS HYs-
TERRA Is RUNNING RIOT.
R~ooseveIt's Attack Upon Supreme
Court Will Pave Way for Pros
titution of judiciary.

New York.-William Barnes, Jr..
Republican state committeeman and
leader Of Albany, issued a statement
in which he declares that the char.
acter of the recent addresses Of The.
odore Roosevelt in the West, has
startled all thoughtful men and i'm.
pressed them with the frightful dan
ger which lies in his political ascend
ency."
Mrs Barnes statement in part says:
"At the coming convention it will
be determined whether the Republic
an party of this state intends to bow
it's head to the political agitation OF
the hour, which is the cause of the
palysy overhanging the business world
today, or will stand firmly and in un
mistakable terms by it's rock-ribbed,
conservative principles, which have,
when it is in power, given confidence
to the business world and encouraged
enterprises.
"Hysteria has run riot throughout
this country, expressing itself in one
form or another, such as direct nom
nations the initiative and referen-
dum,' the initiative and recall
1.-THE recent attack upon the SUI
preme court of the United States by
a keen-witted and aspiring citizen
could not have been made without a
purpose well thought out. If this ap-
peal against judicial decisions is pop
ular and is not rebuked, there is no
reason whatsoever, If a direct prt-
mary law should be enacted in this
state, that candidates for Judicial Of
fees, compelled to run the gauntlet
Of a district or statewide primary,
would not, in order to appeal to the
temporary sentiments of the moment,
declare in advance their attitude upon
matters which would come before
them for judicial review.

LOST GROUND
REPORTS IRREGULAR, But COM.
PLANTS MORE NUMEROUS.
Boil Worms and WeeviIs Active In Ok.
lahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Arkansas.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from the
Souht's cotton fields for the week are
somewhat irregular. On the whole.
the crop has probably lost ground.
Rains were excessive in North Car
olina, but Of great benefit in South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, al
though in the three latter states some
deterioration and shedding occurred
before the coming of the rains. In
dications are that conditions will now
improve, but there are numerous sec.
tions in Alabama that have not had
rain. Mississippi complains OF shed.
ding and an increase in boil weevils.
Rains in this state have been poorly
distributed.
Boil weevils are more active In
Louisiana, where there seems little
chance for any more fruit, while
Southern Arkansas is worse affected
than at any previous time during the
season, although in other respects the
Arkansas crop made normal progress
during the week. Oklahoma complains
Of boil worms, which are widely dis
tributed, but the promise for a good
yield is not impaired.
Cotton is opening slowly in all sec
lions save Texas, and the statements
made all through the season as to late
ness are being verified. In Texas gins
in southern and south central counties
are running at full capacity and the
movement to market is free. 1t is
stated that the crop will be gathered
In a few weeks. Crop estimates in
Eastern and Central Texas are being
reduced and picking returns from the
western counties disclose the shortest
crop in many years. The northern
counties alone in the state appear still
in fair condition.

AUTOS TIGHTEN MONEY.
Many Homes Mortgaged to Purchase
the Machines.

New York.-According to a table
compiled by the Auto Directories Com
pany of this city, there are $600,000,-
900 worth of automobiles in this coun-
try. New York state leads with 10000
machines, but Calofirnia is second
with $500 automobiles.
In Minneapolis, it is reported, n
automobile firm holds mortgages on
1900 homes. In Wisconsin the mort
cages on automobiles and other prop
erty for the purchase prices are esti-
mated at 81, 000, 900. Nebraska has 3d.
100000 in mortgages based on auto
mobile purchases; in Kansas the esti-
mate is $4,00O,o09 in the last three
years.
The money tightness in Iowa is at
tributed to the same conditions. In
districts over 1000 persons are report
ed to have given mortgages recently
to buy automobiles.

Opportunity Of suffraqist.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in n
of the magazines how the women OF
Finland came to vote. The fact is
that had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
in Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

RICH WIDOWS AT AUCTION
Big Delegation Of lmpecunious Mobiles
Is En- Route. :

Newport, R. widows, grass and
sod, representing an aggregate for
tune of about $1,000 00, 900, all eligible
for re-marriage, some anxious for the
chance and others merely in a receipt
i've mood, are congregated in New
port. The town has recently been
dubbed "Widowville," and the name
is likely to stick at least through the
present season.
Word has been received here that a
large delegation of foreign noblemen,
mostly impecunious and all IMPROVE
dent, is headed this way with all sail
set. In the job lot are dukes, earls,
lords, barons, with a prince or two
thrown in for good All are
carrying credentials which will be
knocked down to the highest bidder.
Some of the less desirable, it is under
stood, will be put under the hammer
within a month. The auction sale
will continue well into the fall.

NEGRO COUPLE LYNCHED
Had Shot Deputy Sheriff Who Went
After Them.

Graceville, Fla.-Dangling from a
trestle just outside of town were
found the bodies of Ed Christian, a
negro, charged with shooting Deputy
Sheriff Allen Burns, and Hattie Bow
man, a negress, who was arrested on
the charge of being implicated in the
crime.
Christian was charged with having
stolen a watch from a local physician.
The latter, accompanied by a deputy,
went to Christians home and called
for him. In reply some one in the
house opened fire, striking Burns in
the breast and arms.
The coroner's verdict was that they
met death at the hands of parties I'M
known.

CLOSE OF COTTON YEAR
LAST ONE WAS RECORD FOR HIGH
VALUES.
New Season Begins With Prices Nor
Than One Cent Higher Than
at Last Start.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton trade
entered a new season Thursday morn.
ing, the past one having been brought
to a close with August 81. The move
ment during 1909-10 reached 1O,609,,
668 bales, according to the figures oil
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
the smallest crop since 1903, when the
famous Sully campaign was conducted
and prices were put to II IL cents, at
the time regarded as tremendously
high, but exceeded during the clos
ing days of this past August, when for
the first time within thirty-seven years
20 cents went up on the boards.
1t has been in all respects a most
remarkable twelfthmonth, the aggre-
gate value of the crop going beyond
that of years of big yield. The aver.
age value of middling cotton in Mem
phis was IA ga cents, giving every
bale of that grade an everage value of
slightly more than SIT, and a total
for the cotton handled at Memphis Of
$37, 265, 900.
That prices did not reach an even
higher point was due to the surplus
carried over from the growth of 1908,
which was approximately 14,000,O 900
bales, the amount moving to market
being 13,S25,0 900 bales. This suggests
that with a moderate or small yield
in 1910 high prices will prevail. At
present an estimate on the crop based
on anything more tangible than as
sumption is impossible, but there are
few who look for a crop larger than
12.500,000 bales, and predictions are
made that the yield will not exceed
II, 000, 900 bales. The latter figure, in
view of the depletion incident upon
the last small production, would be
inadequate to the worlds needs. This
accounts for the high prices with
which the new season begins, mid
ding in Memphis being quoted at Is
cents, as compared with IL ZIG cents
at this time last year.

PHILIPPINE REVOLT ENDS.
Leader of Uprising Is Captured by
Constabulary.

Manilla.-The uprising in Nueva
Viscaya, led by Simon Mandac, the
former governor of Ilocos Norte, came
to an inglorious end Saturday when
Mandac fell into the hands of the
constabulary, having been seized and
surrendered by the people of the prov
ince among whom he had sought to
stir up trouble.
A few of 'Mandac's r%ight-hand men
also were arrested and his other fol-
lowers dispersed. 1t is estimated that
the band of outlaws originally num-
bered 500, but it dwindled soon to 200,
and these had but few arms.
When the pursuit became hot, Man.
dac sought refuge in the home of a
man who was subsequently killed
when the people turned against the
former governor and revealed his hid
ing place.
