 Memphis, July 1.-(Special.) .)---Fully 200 saloons in Memphis will close their doors before another week passes. These are mostly of the corner gro- cery variety This became evident to- day by the small number of liquor dealers who applied for the, July I federal licenses and from expressions heard among saloonists.
 County Clerk Crenshaw today ordered warrants issued against all holders of retail federal liquor licenses calling upon them to pay s25O to the state and county. as quartely license for doing business. N M

 Less Than 100 Majority

Tuscumbia, July 1.-(Special )-Although official returns from five of the 16 beats in the Colbert county election held today have not been received, the indications point to victory for the licensed sale of liquor in saloons by majority of from 75 to 100 votes.
 There is no question but that the county voted wet by from 150 to POO votes, but dispensary and saloons are running close, with every indication pointing to vic- tory for the saloon.
 A light vote was boiled in the country beats, but in Sheffield and Tuscumbia automobiles and general enthusiasm brought out a fairly representative vote.

CUP
 WON BY AMERICAN
Weymann Triumphs in Big Aviation Meet-GOes 77
 Miles an Hour

Eastchurch, England, July 1.-Charles T. Weymann, the representative of the United States, today won the inter- national aviation cup in dashing style. He covered the course, approximately 94 miles, in Fl minutes s6 s-5 seconds, an average of " miles an hour. Alfred Leblanc of France was sec ond with an average of 75 miles. Ed ward Newport, France, was third with an average trifle under 75 miles, while Alec Ogilvie of England, the only avia- tor to complete the course, took 109 minutes, averaging about 51 8 miles.
 There was much disappointment that Claude Grahame- White, the British avi- ator, who won the cup at Belmont Park, New York, last year. did not compete. He excused himself on the ground that only a freak machine would win. Of the other competitors, Chevalier of France and Hamel of Great Britain met with accidents. Graham Gilmore, who was entered, did not start.
 Todays competition proved that the wind as factor against air racing is becoming less and less important Fly HE lIl.S ilOiulHS III iISh uSly "i1u, Weymann made, better time than he did in the evening when an almost ab- solute calm prevailed.
 Gustav HameI was first 10 get away in the race for the international cup. He started in strong and gusty wind and quickly came to grief. Hamel had not completed the first lap of the 25 circles when the machine pitched violently and the aviator was thrown out. Bearman was not much hurt. srss
 Chevalier came to grief in the twelfth lap. He was going finely but while turn ing got into difficulties and fell with his machine to the ground. The aviator was not hurt ''
 In a practice spin over the course of todays competition for the international aviation cup, Charles Terres Weymann, the American, covered the circuit at a speed of so miles an. hour.
 Todays is the third race for the in- ternatonal cup. The first was won by Glenn H. Curtiss. the American, at Rheims, France, in 1909. The second race, at Belmont Park, Long Island. in 1910, was won by Claude Grahame White of Great Britain.
 The event required 25 trips around a circular course, making a total distance of 932 miles.

 pected Action NO REPLY YET MADE
German Ambassador Gives Assurance That Move Is Only Temporary.
 Understanding With Spain Expected Soon

Berlin July 1.--Germany has finally taken direct attention in Morocco and or dered the gunboat Panther to Agadair, the most southern point of Morocco. 2S miles southeast of Cape Ghir.
 Paris. July 1.-"Astonishment" Is the word used in semi-official circles to de- scribe French feeling over the action Of Germany in sending a gunboat to Aga dair. Morocco
 It is declared the move is not in ac- cord with the spirit of the Algeciras act or the ch-German agreement of Feb ruary, 1909.
 Tt is pointed out that France Is capa- ble of maintaining order and protecting foreign interests in Mexico.
 France has been notified by Germany of the dispatch of the gunboat Panther and the probability that marines would be landed, but as yet this government has made no reply.
 German Ambassador Von Schoen called upon M. De Selves, French minister of foreign affairs, this afternoon and ex- plained that the gunboat would leave Ag- adair as soon as order had been re-es- tablished. He said there had been great agitation in that region on the part of the Germans who feared they were en- dangered and he added it was hoped that the sending of a warship to Morocco would in no way affect the good rela- tions between France and Germany.
 It is officially stated that Spain yes terday assured the French government she had no intention of, extending her military action, in Morocco and that Te- tuan would notN be occupied by Spanish troops It is believed Spain and France will arrive at a complete understand ing.

London, July 1.-The shipping situation has improved somewhat during the last "A hours, although conditions approaching chaos prevail in all ports. The ship own CTS have made large concessions to the men and have increased wages all along the line.

 The White Star liner Arabic. on which another fire, supposedly of incendiary origin. was discovered today, may start tomorrow but the Lusitania, the big Cunard liner was unable to get out of dock today because of the, strike of tug boat men, who say they were intimidated by other strikers. The Lusitania must get into the river tomorrow or adverse tides will lay her up for week.
 The strike has affected greatly coast wise, channel and North sea shipping, upon which the country largely depends for provisions. Already it has, proved a sharp object lesson of the effettsN Eng land war would have. The pricSe keorn' flour, bacon and other productsshas ad- vanced at many seaport towns, although London has not yet suffered severely. Appa rently the men are relying upon this to bring success.

The mails. of course. will be kept going at all costs
 It is the owners plan to lay up part of the ships and employ all the men who have remained loyal on the other side. vessels in port without engagements will be the first laid up.

The way the initiative, referendum and
recall, especially the recall, swept the
State of California at the recent election,
must be something of jolt to those old

delight in sneeringly referring to advocates
of these reforms in such terms as s'half
baked" etc. This recall measure, too,
considered by these G. o. P. standpatters
so dangerous, carried By a larger
majority than did the initiative and re-

Boss Mahon.

These are days of grave apprehension
among the politicians of Baltimore. The
Grand Jury of this city is nnearthiug a
condition of affairs which should spell
the end of the political boss in
Baltimore
It is amazing that honorable men
should care to make the campaign under
the handicap these frauds place upon
them.
In all this matter let it be borne in
mind that the machine" candidates
reaped the benefit of the fraud. Mr..
Mahon is the titular head of the ina
chine" in Baltimore. Mr.. Mahon named
the present Mayor of Baltimore. Mr.
Mahon named the successful candidate
for the nomination of Governor. Mr..
Mahon is the gentlemen whom Mayor
Preston is proud to acknowledge as his
personal and political friend". Mr..
Mahon sits in the seat of the mighty
politically, while the puppets dance as
he pulls the strings Behind Mr. Mahon
sits the liquor interests. What sp. G
tacle for man and angles!
We do not charge that any candidate
was cognizant of, or authorized, the
fraudulent voting or counting. What
we cannot understand is that representa-
ItWe men Of standing could primarily
place themselves in the hands of Mr..
Mahon, and afterward remain upon a
ticket when it has been conclusively
shown that their success in the primaries
smelled to heaven of fraud. How can
you do it, gentlemen, and preserve your
self respect?
Governor Crothers deserves the thanks
of the entire State for his refusal to give
the guilty chance to have their friends
pass upon the decree of their guilt No
sort of compromise in the interest of rem
edial legislation, however urgent, could
possibly warrant such fiagrant miscar.
riage of justice.
When the Governor was making a her.

To Discuss Apple Culture.

every subject relating to apple
culture and sale will be in order at
the American Apple Congress and
can be introduced and discussed
by any member"
This broad rule was adopted at
a recent meeting of the board of
local managers of the American
Apple Congress. The second
annual session of the Congress will
be held in Denver during the week
of the>apple exposition in Novem;
ber. President L. Bradford Prince
of the Congress, and Secretary
Clinton L. Oliver, were present
and acquiesced in this ruling.
The real object of the Congress
is to accomplish results that are
beneficial to the apple industry in
every section of the American con-
tinent. While a few addresses
will be prepared and delivered at
the nesting, the program commit.
tee decided that the number shall
be limited SO that the members of
the Congress will have the oppor-
tunity for unrestricted discussion
of the subjects that are of vital i'm.
portance to the apple growers,
shippers and dealers. It is plan.
ned to make this session a get
together session and not a. dull,
Try meeting where the time will
be consumed principally by long.
winded papers the principal
feature of which are involved and
|entangling verbiage.
Every indication points to a
fight over the question of the
adoption of a national or uniform
box. The Northwest and Colorado
are long ways from reaching an
agreement on this subject. each
holding out for its particular kind
of box. An attempt is being made
to get a uniform box bill through
the federal congress, and this bill,
known as the Lafean bill, uDdoubt.
edly will be up for discussion at
the coming meeting Of the Apple
congress. Special addresses will
be heard on grading and packing
and few other vital subjects, but
aside from these the discussion 10
intended to be spontaneous. Some
of the most prominent apple men in
America have announced their in-
tention to be present and take part
in the discussions.
