SHOT IN STRIKE RIOT.
Two Men Killed and More Than a
Score Wounded at Sugar Plant.

New York, July 2S.-Two men were
shot and killed, four dangerously
wounded, one a policeman and score
or more less seriously hurt during a
riot of strike sympathizers today at the
plant OF the American Sugar Refining
company in Williamsburg, where a
strike has been in progress for month.
Crowds of sympathizers threw bricks
at the strike breakers from house top,
and when the nonunion men started out
with their trucks to deliver sugar rush
was made for the wagons. The police
on the trucks returned the fire of the
crowd. The employees OF the plant
struck a month ago for an advance in
wages.
The men killed were Lithuanians.
Several policemen were struck and pain
fully hurt by the bricks thrown from
the nearby roofs.
The entire neighborhood became in
vo1yed in the disturbance and the re-
serves from nine precincts had all they
could do to cope with the trouble. 1t
appeared from the accounts of Dystand-
ers that the officers did not fire into
the crowd until forced to do so by the
ferocity of the attacks on them.
The mob was composed for the most
,,art of foreigners, chiefly Poles and
trouble for sometime, but assumed a
decidedly menacing attitude last night
when a number of strike breakers was
brought to the plant and sent to work.
The demeanor of the mob which gath
cred outside the plant, became so threat
ening this morning that police protec-
ton was asked for.

AIR CURRENTS ARRIVE
Observer Gives His Pledge for
Lower Temperature.
Great Damage Has Been Done
to Crops.

Cooler weather is on the way. From
the north and northwest cooler air cur
rents and storm centers are fighting
and slowly pushing back the hot south
winds from the low pressure area at
the gulf.
Just as the highest mark of the mer-
curry Wednesday was two degrees low
er than the previous day, the tempera-
ture last night was FIVE degrees lower
than the previous night and a strong
wind helped the sweltering populace
cool off. Not that it was particularly
cool for the lowest was 76 degrees and
that is still eight degrees above the
normal for nights this time of the year,
but the difference was thankfully re-
ceived.
Another thing which is helping to cool
Topeka off is the fact that the wind
which has burned it's way into brick
and stone is burning itself out and has
begun to drop in temperature. Last
night the temperature of the breeze was
around the so mark of itself but had
been UP III tie nineties.
The weather bureau expects to be
able to forecast cooler weather soon but
has courage now only to hold out the
hope. Even If it does get cool it will
be disappointment not to have bro
ken the record of 1901 when it lacked
little more than one degree.

Executive COMMITTEES.

Philadelphia, July 2S.-Prior to the
opening of the Independent state con-
vention, called by the Republicans and
Democrats. dissatisfied with the candi-
dates placed in the field by the two old
political organizations, there was much
uncertainty as to who will head the
ticket for governor. The three candi-
dates most frequently mentioned dur
ing the last few days are William H.
Berry, Democrat, of Delaware county
former state treasurer; D. Clarence
Gibboney. Independent Republican, of
this city. head of the Law and Order
Society, and George w. Guthrie. Dem
ocrat former mayor of Pittsburg
The real contest seemed to be be-
tween Berry and Gibboney. The lines
were so tightly drawn that Rudolph
Blankenburg Of this city, Independent
Republican, was brought forward as a
possible compromise candidate. Mr..
Blankenburg, it Is said, does not desire
the nomination.
Berry, who was elected state treas
urer in 1905, on a fusion ticket and ex-
posed the capitol frauds after getting
into office, has a large following among
the delegates from the interior of the
state. Gibboney has several times
headed reform movements in Phila-

feat each time
Today's convention is a. rather unique
affair in Pennsylvania politics A GER
tain element in the Republican party,
dissatisfied with the Republican state
candidates, suggested a third ticket -
AT the same time there was dissatis-
faction among some Democrats with
the Democratic nominees and de-
mand was made that the Democratic
convention be recalled. The dissatis-
fled Democrats held a meeting and de-
cided to coalesce with the independent
Republicans and place an independent
ticket in the field. The two elements
then began campaigning with the
Democrats to place a Democrat at. the
head of the ticket for governor and the
Independent Republicans urged that
one of their own men be named for the
place. Besides the office of governor
the convention will select candidates
for lieutenant governor, state treasurer
and secretary of internal affairs.
The United Labor party, an out
growth of the trolley strike here last
spring, has demanded that it be given

in Salina estimate from the reports
that they are receiving that the corn

10 o'clock in the morning the ther-
and by noon was near Ito degrees The
heat was terrific and a hot wind sprang
up from the SOUTH The severe heat
continued until night when it was
broken by a light rain and a severe

is that the corn corp, which gave
promise of making a fair yield, was
damaged to a great extent.
Arkansas City, Kan, July 2S.-Hot
and dry weather still prevails in south
ern Kansas and each day of the pres-
ent conditions of affairs puts the corn
crop. back greatly. 1t Is feared that

crops.
Atchison, Kan, July 2s-Torrid
weather still continues here. Missouri
Pacific representatives from the
northern Kansas division state that
corn is standing the heat pretty well
as far west as Concordia. The great
est damage reported is on the Lenora
branch from Downs west, but rain
within a few days would make con-
siderable corn there.
Reading, Kan, July 28.-Stockmen in
this locality are becoming alarmed over
rain conditions. The stock water OF
the large pastures is becoming very
scarce and it is feared that cattle must
be rushed out in the next ten days il
relief does not come.
Junction City, Kan, July 28.-The

threaten to kill the crops here unless

port from the western part of the coun-
ty is that the corn crop there is In
