COOL WAVE COMING
 SAYS WEATHER MAN
Abnormally High Barome- teric Pressure to Bring
 Low Temperature

Washington, July 16.-Folowing the hot wave that recently brought suffering to
 the whole country, this weeks weather
 promises to furnish surprises in the other erection, with the result that unusually
 low summer temperatures probably will prevail. The weather bureau sees in an
 s.bnormally high barometric pressure over the interior of Canada and Alaska and relatively low pressure on the Atlantic, the conditions that will usher in cool wave.
 This pressure distribution is strongly
 indicative of temperatures below the sea- sonable average the coming week. says he weather bureau report, in practically III parts of the country. From the Rocky mountains temperatures will average near o1 above the normal, with generally fair weather, except that occasional showers are probable in the southern pla teau and southern Rocky Mountain regions. The week will open with generally fair wealth CT east of the Rocky Mountains except that showers are probable Monday in the
 middle Atlantic and New England states and during the next several days in the
 sNith Atlantic and gulf states. An area of unsettled weather and showers will develop over the middle west about Thurs day and then spread eas,w ward to the Atlantic states by the latter part of the week"

EXPECTING EVEN
 BETTER REPORTS

Memphis, July 16.-The Commercial Ap- peal tomorrow will say:
 An improvement in cotton condition during the past week is generally re- ported In central and eastern states the crop conditions could hardly be im- proved upon, as the plant Is growing rapidly and fruiting heavily and has had an abundance of moisture, while the cul- tivation is still good, work in the fields having been interfered w in limited localities by excessive rainfall. With aver age favorable weather during the re- mainder of the season a record crop will te made over this large area Roll weevils are more numerous in Louisiana Mississippi and Arkansas, but the damage so far is noticeably small.
 The earliness of the crop is notable feature in the central and eastern state, and grown to half-grown bols are re- rorted in these states In Texas and oklahoma local showers tc heavy rains, widely distributed, served -o arrest the deterioration that had set in over wide areas and the outlook is therefore ini- r.royed. The plant in many places is small. however and more rain Is needed to put it in good condition. Eastern and central Texas counties are an exception 70 this statement for the crop there is good.
 Save in Texas and Oklahoma the best interest of the crop will be promoted by dry weather for a while.

TRUSTS ARE ONLY
 GOOD WHEN DEAD'

Chicago, July 16.-(Special.)- )-James H. Wilkerson, special counsel for the United States government in all the important trust cases that have been heard in this district in the last few years and expected successor to United States District Attorney Sims, declared today that the only good trust was q dead one
 Scheduled to speak tonight at the annual banquet of the Delta Chi Law fra ternty on the topic Good Trusts vs. Bad Trusts MT. Wilkerson took exception to the designation of any trusts as good, declaring that in view of the nature of the occasion the topic obviously was not to be taken seriously.
 Strictly speaking" he stated. there is no such thing as a good trust. Like the Indians, the only good one, is a dead one If, by the word trust we understand combination or con- spiracy. which operates to restrain trade then every trust is, of course, q violation of the law. Whether or not there Is such thing as a good trust, is entirely matter of definition If we broaden the meaning of the term, then how many good ones there are depends entirely upon how broad d definition we give to the word"
 Wilkerson's connection with the fed eral trust prosecution makes his sweeping statements of the evil of trusts particularly interesting, in con- nection with the bill supported lN Sen- ator Kenyon of Iowa before the inter- state commerce commission recommend
 ing that all violators of the Sherman antitrust law should be punished with prison sentences.

MEXICO MAY NOW
 EXCLUDE CHINESE An Economic Revolution
 Follows Rebellion WAGES ARE RAISED
Notorious Slum District Likely to Disappear and Other Move ments for Public Welfare
 Arg Under Way

Mexico City, July 16.-An indirect re- suit of the massacre of Chinese at Tor reon during the revolution may be the exclusion from Mexico of celestials. Be- cause of the scarcity of labor in mines and haciendas Mexico has encouraged the importation of Chinese, but exactly those same arguments-eeonomic and racial which led to their exclusion by the United States, now are being freely discussed in the press. It is not improbable that at the next session of congress an exclusion bill will be presented
 That Mexico's economic revolution should be inaugurated so soon after the termination of the revolt led by Fran cisco I. Madero was no surprise to those who watched the rapid development of the national spirit of progress. Neither Madero nor President De La Barra has displayed any pessimism because of scores of strikes in the republic.
 There is an element which professes to see in the actions of the laborng class signs of anarchy, but the more conserva- tive express satisfaction. They say that the country requires a new standard of wages and the working classes have adopted the most effieacous means of es- tablshing it.
 In majority of cases the wage earners have been successful, and throughout the country their influence has been felt. The government has in many cases voluntarily raised the wages of those employed on public works.
 Ten years ago 20 cents gold a day was considered a fair wage for common day aborer. Gradually this was increased tc 95 or 40 cents, and even now it will not be necessary to pay more than 50 or 6( cents a day. The wages paid for skilled labor is in proportion.
 Mexico's most notorious slum district is likely to disappear. It has been the resi- dence of thieves and murderers and its dirty winding streets and dilapidated buildings have long been a bemish on the capital. The department of gober- nacion has announced that the work of straightening the streets, improving the sewerage system and beautifying the dis trict generally will be adopted at once.

NEW SCHEME TO
 STOP DIVORCE

Chicago, July 16.-(Special.)-T In diana district of the Lexington confer. ence of the Methodist Episcopal church in convention at the Scott church to- day, went on record as demanding that the states adopt uniform laws provid. ing that marriage licenses be issued one month before the marriage can take place.
 This action was taken after an ad. dress on Are the Morals of the Race Declining?" by Mrs Carrie Ross of In. dianapolis, president of the woman's Home Missionary society.
 "One of the worst evils, we believe IS tho ease with which young girls can get married. In some states there is practically no brains at the marriage If. cense windows. There is no discrimina. tion between young and old, responsible and irresponsible
 'If the law required that licenses should be obtained a month before the wedding the chances of illegal maria ges would be essened to the minimum"

GREAT CONTEST
 NEARING THE END Mississippi Is Preparing for Senatorial Primary EXPECT LARGE VOTE Has Been the Most Memorable and Bitter Campaign in the History
 of the State-Candidates
 Make Claims
EXPECT LARGE VOTE

Jackson, Miss, July 16.-The bitterest and most. memorable political campaign Mississippi has ever seen reaches the be- ginning of the end this week
 The state executive committed will as- semble in the senate chamber at noon Monday to prepare the form of the of ficial ballot, and to declare as nominees of the party all candidates for state of ficers who have no opposition.
 County boards of election commissioners will also meet Monday and will devote the ensuing 10 days to revising pol1>books. That thousands of voters will be disquali- fled is indicated by the fact that the lists of poll tax delnquents in the various counties is unusually large.
 Estimates as to the probable size of the vote to be cast in the primary on August are at variance Some place it as low as 100000. while others say it will be fully as large as the vote of four years ago, which was nearly 122,ooO. On Tuesday the county executive com mittees will appoint clerks. judges and bailiffs and sub-committees to look after various details. No changes have been
 
 headquarters of the three senatorial can- didates Former Governor Vardaman's managers delare he will win in the first primary by a decisive majority Mir Vardaman is confident that he will get 9o000 votes.
 C. H. Alexander's managers assert that he is gaining ground more rapidly than either of his opponents; that he is cer- tain to get 45,0O0 votes in the first pri- mary, and that this number will give him good plurality with which to en- | ter the second event on August %.
 Senator Percys managers published a statement today in which they say that after having made careful canvass of 60 per cent Of the voting precincts or the entire state, the reports show that Senator Percy will receive a vote In these corded to John Sharp Williams four years ago. Reports from other counties will be compiled within a few days.
 A striking illustration of the enthusi- astic partisanship being shown is in a report from Durant, where the head of mercantile establishment. Vardaman 
 supporter, has posted a notice saying that in the event of Vardaman's election. he will give away his stock of groceries. MT. Alexander will deliver three speeches Monday in Montgomery county and will spend the remainder of the week in Pike, Amite, Franklin, and Lincoln counties.
 MT. Nardaman will devote the entire week to the southern counties, speaking | in Jasper, Jefferson Davis. Lamar, Simp- son and Rankin counties. Monday he will | speak at Rose Hill, where Deputy Sheriff Foster Rounds was stabbed while en- deavoring to quiet disturbance at | Percy meeting.
 1 Senator Percy will carry his campaign to the extreme northern counties Ills Monday address will be delivered at | Corinth, and he will devote the remainder | of the week to Union, Marshall, rippah, Benton and Lafayette counties.

MONTGOMERY IS
 VOTING TODAY
Local OptiOnists Confident of VictOry-Campaign
 Exceedingly Quiet

Montgomery, July 16.-After the quietest campaign that everwas held in this county Montgomery will vote tomorrow on the return of saloons. The local optionists have thoroughly or ganized their forces and are confident of victory by 2500 majority. The pro hibitionists have no organization and will cut but small figure in the contest. There is very little sentiment in favor of dispensary and the saloons will get the big portion of the vote.
 In Russell county an election will be held Monday on the same question Sentiment Is said to be all one way there. Girard and Scale will be the two towns that will probably get the open saloons.
 This will be the third local option election held in Alabama under the Parks law and indications point to a general reversal of prohibition senti- ment throughout Alabama.

LARGEST CITIES
 GET POSTAL BANKS Hitchcock Designates New York, Chicago, Boston
 and St. Louis

Washington, July 16.-Postmaster Gen. eral Hitchcock today designated the main lostoffices in the cities of New York, Chicago, Boston. and St. Louis as postal savings Repositories. They will begin to receive deposits on August l.
 Having installed successfully more than ! thousand postal savings banks in sec- chd-class postoffices, MT. Hitchcock de- oided to extend it to some of the first c.ass offices immediately. Tie four cities were named because of their great pop ulation and commercial prominence and because in each one is located United States sub-treasury, which will facilitate the heavy banking business that is like ly to result from postal savings trans actions.
 As in the smaller. cities, the system probably will be popular with the for eign-horn residents, many of whom now send their surplus savings 70 their home ountries. From New Yor9 city alone last year the money orders sent abroad by foreign-born residents aggregated $, ,000 GOO.

 Becoming Unconscious

Asbury Park, N. J., July 16.-A. J. Roberts, an aeronaut, who started in a dirigible balloon from New York for Philadelphia yesterday, was found un- conscious on the beach near Deal, N J., early today
 Roberts had made a landing about F or 15 miles from New York and had made another ascension when his dirig- ible was struck by squall and driven out over the ocean. His troubles, he related today when revived, were aug mented by fog which caused the gas in the bag to cool The dirigible final ly trailed in the water but by throwing out ballast Roberts managed to work it in shore. Then he found the gasoline failing He pulled the rip cord and presently dropped into the waves. He came across a plank while swimming about trying to get his bearings. Even with this aid he became exhausted and thinks he must have floated ashore un- conscious.

SAYS W|CKERSHAM
 IS EYER REVENGE

Salem, Ore, July 16-"Delegate Wick ersham of Alaska is angry because the Alaska syndicate would not employ him at $15,000 year as its attorney and is trying to get back" said Attorney John A. Carson of this city, special attorney for the Alaska syndicate. after reading the charges brought by the Alaska delegate against Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham today
 Regarding the letter which was sub mitted as evidence intending to show that witnesses for the government had been controlled, Carson, the writer of the epistle to Captain Jarvis, said those witnesses although brought to Juneau by the government were not called upon to testify by the prosecution, as their evidence was found by the federal counsel to be material to the defense. Naturally, he explained, the defense eubpoenaed the witnesses and paid them.
 "The government has sent different agents to Seattle, Alaska and elsewhere and has found that the conduct on the Hazey case was ,regular,' said Carson.

 He expressed great admiration for Pres ident Taft, but declared that the Presi- dent himself had furnished three reasons for rejecting the agreement. These. he said, were:
 That Canada has now come to the parting of the ways; that she must either seek to bind herself more closely to the mother country or" Here Sir James smiled and declined to finish the sentence. Secondly, the United States would never get another opportunity to negative the effort to knit more closely the relations of Canada and England and thirdly. the American farmer would sell more produce with reciprocity than without it.
