P. Carney of Louisville, after chase that led through many cities. Vending, 1t Is said, Is liv- ing under an assumed name. and the de- about him.
 At the office of the chief of the local detective department this morning it was admitted that man believed to be Weno- ling was being watched. 1t was stated. however, that the whole matter was "uU In the air." because of the publication of the story and the suspect had probably taken warning and made his escape.

From this city Carney traced Vending to a ranch near Rio Vista, where he had been working as a common laborer From the ranch the trail led to Vallejo, and thence back to this city. where the local police declare they have the alleged murderer surrounded.
 Captain Wall of the detective depart ment virtually admitted today that sev- eral of his men had spent the night guarding a house where the suspect was expected to come.

 '"rhe climatic conditions are very fa- vorable to general farming and the pro- duction of variety of special crops
 Big Prairie, Little Prairie. Big Ger man, Elliotts, Five Mile and Big creeks and their tributaries, all flowing into the Black Warrior river, drain the county.
 Cotton is the all-important crop and

TRYING TO PROVE
 STORY OF DR. COOK

Seward, Alaska. July 2S.-The Portland Oregonian-New York Herald Mount Mo Kinley expedition, headed by c. E. Rusk of Chelan, Wash, which sailed from Seattle on the revenue cutter Tahoma April 24 and which followed Dr. Cook s route up the Susitna and Chulitna rivers, failed to reach the summit of Mount Nc Kinley. and is now on the way to Se- ward.
 The climbers ascended the peak alleged by Cook to be the summit, but 1t is 10 miles from the toprnost point of the mountain. The Rusk party was unable to see the flag which the Thomas Lloyd party Is alleged to have planted on the summit last April, and the members are dsinclined to believe the story told by the Fairbanks expedition. The party headed by Prof. H. Parker of New York and B. Fillmore Brown of Tacoma is still endeavoring to ascend the mountain. This news was brought to Seward today by w. McDougal, president of the Cache Creek Mining company, who met the Rusk party a few days ago at Susitna station.

Roosevelt Takes Bearings

oyster Bay, July 2S.-Before Theo- dore Roosevelt launches out again on the troubled sea of national politics he will scan the chart with those Of his friends who already have tested the temperature of the storm.
 The coloneps reticence of last night continued today. He repeated that he was unwilling to comment on the ac- ton of the Ohio republican state con vention until he had received reports from men who were on the ground but he added who these men will be. They are James R. Garfield of Cleve- land, who withdrew his name from the convention, and Wade H. Ellis, chair man of the Ohio republican commit tee. Clifford Pinchot will later bring soundings from farther west.
 MT. Ellis, it Is thought, will ask Colonel Roosevelt to stump Ohio for the ticket nominated yesterday. The colonel would not say tonight wE sther he will accept. His decision Is awaited with interest, now that it must give some indication of how he reliDhes the re- buff administered in the convention to MT. Garfield and his fellow progress sives. The colonel already has agreed to speak at Cincinnati September B. but 1t lis unlikely that he will venture on state issues then.
 Mr Roosevelt did not know tonight when to expect either Mir Garfield or Mir. Ellis. The most that could be said was that they wers expected shortly.
 Clifford Pinchot, now in California to take the stump for Hiram Johnson. in- surgent candidate for the republican nomination for governor. will bring back word of how the west feels to- ward conservation, which is to be one of the coloners chief topics in his two tours of the west and south.

MORE LIGHT UPON
 DEALS OF WIDER

New York, July 2S.-The New York agency of the Russo Chinese bank issued a cheering statement, throwing more light on the situation in the gigantic stock and bond theft today. Cashier Erwin Wider. now fugitive from justice, stands accused of abstracting $500,000. reducing the amount S1oo,ooo. Hitherto the estimates placed the value of miss ing securities at $@0,000.
 With the grand jury investigation of the case now under way Wider's where abouts yet remains a mystery. It was reported today that he was under sur veillance at White Plains, N. r.. place only P miles from this city.
 The rumor could not be confirmed.
 Witnesses including representatives of stock exchange houses with which the cratic young speculator had dealings were examihed by the grand jury today and 1t was said tonight that an indict- ment had been found. If this be true 1t had not been handed up in court at a late hour.
 Whether Wider was at any time pro- nouncedly successful in his stock mar ket plunges is a matter of conjecture. During 12 months 1t was learned today one firm had bought $S00.0oO of stocks for his account, and 1t is promised that he must have been on the successful side of the market at several times He is said to have lost heavily at other times as bear during the great bull move ment in cotton.
 The statement of the bank officials fol- lows:
 "A full investigation shows the loss cannot exceed $5O0.000, and of this amount a large sum is certain to be recovered by the bank. The robbery cannot in any wise either affect the normal course of business of the bank nor exert any influence upon the banks dividend"

under cultivation than of the other all luvial soils Cotton Is the principal crop grown on these types,
 "Of the upland or sandy land types, the Orangeburg fine sandy loam and Greenville loam are the most important. The former is especially adapted to fruit growing. The Greenville loam. in addi- ton to being well adapted to general farming. is capable of producing to- bacco of the Cuban filler variety.
 There Is need in the county of bet ter cultural methods, including deeper and more thorough preparation of the seed bed, shallower cultivation and sys- tematic rotation of crops.
