u. S. MAY
TAKE MEASURES

Washington, D. C.,July III
dent Taft is growing restless under
continued reports of the ill-treatment
of American citizens in Nicaragua,
and is moving for the adoption of
sterner methods with the Central Am
erican republic.
The appeals made to him by rela-
tives of Williams Pittman, tn Bos-
ton man held in prison in Managua by
Madriz and half starved, led to a con-
ference by the president with Secre-
tary Knox over the telephone at the
latter's home at Valley Forge, Pa,
with orders today from the secretary
to the state department to take steps
to relieve Pittman
The department telegrapEed also
Consul Moffat, at Bluefelds, to ascer-
tain whether DR.. Lawrence Burgheim,
an American citizen, is held there by
the Madriz government. DR.. Burg
helm said to have been sanitary off
Ger for the Estrada forces, was cap
tured and forced by Madriz to treat
wounded of his army
There is perplexity over the Pitt
man case. AS a prisoner of war he
may be held by the Madriz forces
but the Nicaraguan government has
no right to inf1ict unnecessary hard
ships or crue1ties on him. To pre-
vent this, the department will instruc
Consul Olivares to have the Pittma1
charges investigated, and the state de
partment has cabled him for full par
ticulars. On this the state depart
ment will act.
There is a report that the stat
department is preparing to issue
statement to the world justifying it.

less conditions there are speedily bet

unusual catch this week. After being
out only part of the day he came
in with sixty sheephead. These fish

one of the many attractions at More
head, sailing and surf parties are still
very popular with the young people.
Mr.. Smith will give Friday after
noon delightful surf party compli-
mentary to Miss Eleise Erwin, OF
Morganton. Miss Erwin will also have
sails given her both Friday and Sat
urday nights after the germans.

A Cotton Picker.

Washington, July 18.-Patents will
be issued soon to Crawford Elliott,
the inventor of the book typewriter,
on a cotton picker or harvester which
he has perfected as the result of near
ly seven years constant effort. The
basic patent granted covers forty diff
ferent claims. The machine has been
tested for two years in the cotton
fields, and with it one man and a team
Of mules will do the work of forty
hand pickers. Only the ripe cotton
is picked, and this is done without in
jury to the green cotton or the flow
ers. The successful cotton picker has
at last arrived and will enable the
planters to greatly increase the pres
ent acreage under cultivation.
The principle of the machine is
a double row of bristle brushes about
one and half inches in diameter and
fourteen inches long, sninning rapidly
in such a manner that the revolving
brushes are introduced into the plants
close to the ground and drawn up in
a vertical line through the plants, the
brushes penetrat;2g the bushes from
lboth sides of the row. The ripe cot
ton adheres to the brushes while the
rest of the plant is not in any way af
Ifected, the brushes travelling to re
ceptacle where they are stripped o
the cotton and the operation is repeat
ed.
i It has been thoroughly tested an'
demonstrated that it win do the worl
at a quarter of the cost Of ham
labor. which means saving of $3.50
loco, 900 year to the cotton growers

New York to St. Louis Aero Race.

New York to St. Louis Aero Race.
New York, July 18.-Ofhcial condi-
tions governing the proposed aero
plane fight between New York and
st. Louis have been made public as
follows:
''The New York World and the ST.
Louis Post Dispatch will give 100000
to the first aviator who between Aug
ust Is, 1910 and January 1, 1911, flies
from New York to ST. Louis or from
ST. Louis to New York within one hun
dred consecutive hours, using the
same aeroplane from start to finish.
''The only condition attached to this
offer is that at least three days notice
of intention to start for this prize
must be given to either the New York
World or to the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch in order that announcement
may be made of the actual starting
and finishing points, the actual route
and other details as agreed upon
The distance between the two ci-
ties is 900 miles as the crow flies, and
1,O48 miles as the mails go. On ac-
count of the physical confguraton of
the land extremely unlikely that
and aviator will attempt to lay out his
route in a straight line. The actual
distance he will fly, therefore, remains
guesswork and will only be determin
ed by his performance itself. The cor
ditions above leave the aviator free te
chose his own starting point, and tt
make his landings for fuel, repairs
and rest whenever, he wishes, or ne
cesity dictates.
Given 100 hours in which to cove
an estimated 1000 miles, the aviato
would have to fly with a little mor'
than 200 miles day for little les
than five days.
The aviator may define for himsel
what constitutes binding start, tha
is, if he finds after a Is or a 100-mil
trial that he is not properly equipped
he may return for fresh start
