was president, treasurer and princi-
pal owner. The petitioning credit

using up assets which were april
cable to the payment of its just
debts, hat by reason of its failure to
meet it's obligations the mortgage on
some Of It's property Is about to be
forecIosed, and that it has failed to
pay current expenses and the bakers
and other employees have threatened
to quit work. Liabilities are stated
to be $4,000 and assets about $4,-
900.
The business was started in De

other man and on April II Mr.. Han
sen, it is said, became sole owner.

ney. He was sent to the Island for

PROF. MOORE GIVES the
CAUSE OF HOT WAVE

Washington, July 1S:-Willis l.
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
issued a signed statement yesterday
explaining the cause for the hot wave
of the last ten days, and telling why
he believes more or less permanent
relief is at hand.
'For a prolonged period" says the
chief, "the barometric pressure has
been above normal over the Atlantic
Ocean, and low V the northwest
ern portion of the American CONT
nent. The international weather
MAP of Wednesday showed q reversal
of the pressure distributor-an ex-
tensive area of high barometric pres
sure appearing over Alaska, while
the pressure over the middle lati-
tudes Of the Atlantic Ocean has fall
len to below normal. This changed
pressure distribution Is strong, in
dicative of the dissipation of the
warm weather over the Eastern
States, and the Middle West in the
immediate future, and a period of
moderate temperature in these dis
tricts lasting through the remainder
of this week and continuing into next
week"
Lower temperatures are reported
from almost all points today.
