OUTLOOK FOR FOREIGN CROPS
Partial Failure Reported From Some
Countries.

Washington, May 29.-Crop pros
poets in most foreign countries are
fairly satisfactory. The department
of agriculture so describes the situa-
tion. A bumper crop of wheat may
be had in Argentina If the season
proves good.
The acreage planted is probably the
greatest in that country's history. The
same is true of its acreage in fax
seed and oats. Argentina's corn crop,
however, promises the smallest yield
for years. Uruguay's small grain crop
is failure. Winter wheat seeding in
Australia has been so interrupted by
rain as to greatly decrease the area
sown. Heavy yields of wheat and oil
seeds in British India are indicated.
Spring wheat in Canada gives ex-
cellent promise. Central Europe
shows but fair conditions. Winter
wheat is rated average In Germany,
but rye is under average. Austria and
Hungary report unsatisfactory condi-
tons. Russia on the whole has Jared
very well with its cereals. They win
tered well except In some parts OF the
south, where extensive replowing was
necessary.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

CONEY ISLAND
FIRE LOSS BIG
Damage Is Estimated at
Nearly S3,OOO,OOO.
DREAMLAND WIPED OUT

In All About Two Hundred Buildings
Were Destroyed, Several Thousand
Amusement Resort Proprietors and
Employees Being Turned Into the
Street Homeless and Practically
PenniIess.
New York, May 29-Coney Island,
the playground of New York, has suf-
fered the worst fire of its history.
Dreamland, the largest of the amuse-
ment parks, was wiped out and about
four blocks adjoining covered with
booths, restaurants, hotels, moving
picture theaters and resorts of vari-
GUS types, were destroyed.
The fire broke out at 2 a. m. and
was not under control until three
hours and half later. The loss will
amount to between 100000 and
s3,OOO,OOO.
In all about 200 buildings were
burned down and perhaps 1000 per-
sons-concessionair and employees
were turned into the streets home
less and penniless. No lives were lost
The burned area represented nearly
third of the entire amusement city,
all OF which would undoubtedly have
gone in the teeth of strong wind but
for the fact that Coney Island, with a
high pressure water system especially
designed for fire precaution, is better
guarded against disaster of this kind
than any other similar resort in the
world.
Whole Ten Acres Ablaxe.
The fire was discovered a tiny blaze
in the tarred scaffolding of Hell
Gate scenic railway close to the
entrance to Dreamland Twenty min
| utes after frightened watchman had
turned in three alarms, one after
another as fast as his thumb could
press the key, all Dreamland's ten
acres of gaudy, closely packed build
ings was one blaze. The flames, urged
by a strong wind, were visible for
| nearly fifteen miles.
The great Dreamland tower, with
its many electric bulbs, fell into the
lake almost before the fremen had
their lines set, and the fire rapidly
| spread to the horde of little booths
| and concessions which lined the mar
row streets beyond. The Dreamland
pier, jutting far out into the ocean,
with its stands and booths, was swept
| to it's steel foundations.
Considering the extent and rapid
| spread of the blaze, 1t was little short
of miraculous that none of the sum
mer inhabitants Of the burned district
lost their lives. The only casualties
reported by the police were three per-
| sons overcome by the smoke, one a
| fireman, and the other two nurses In
the incubator hospital. All three were
| revived without difficulty.

I'm this way the National Steel COM
pany received S10,000,000 more than it
was worth when it was taken over.
Carnegie was paid about 1920, ,000,0 ,00u
for his share of the Carnegie Stee,
company"
Chairman Stanley developed by
questioning that Carnegie owned about
so per cent of the total $76,000,000 OF
the Carnegie concern.
Gates leaned back in his chair and
discoursed freely, telling how the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company wac
forced to sell its holdings to the steel
trust Stanley read from the famous
letter of President Roosevelt which
stated the steel trust had taken over
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company
to save the country from panic and
Gates contradicted nearly every state
ment in the letter.

Tells OF STEEL

John v. Gates Before InveS=

THREE MEN In The DEAL

Giant Combination Was Planned at
All Night Meeting in New York At
tended by J. p. Morgan, Charles
Schwab and Gates-DecIares Roose-

sorbed Tennessee Coal and Iron
Company.
Washington, May 2s.-The charge
that President Roosevelt was buncoed
by the steel manipulators with a fake
statement that the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the steel trust would avert a panic"
whereas the deal had no effect on the
general market. was made by John W.
Gates before the Stanley steel COM
mittee of the house of representatives
to which he nonchalantly gave the in
side story of the period of high
finance"
The birth of the gigantic United
States Steel corporation at an all
night meeting of j. P. Morgan, Charles
N. Schwab and Gates at Morgan's
home in New York was described at
length by Gates. He laughed heartily
as he told how HI. W. Moore and Hen
ry C.. Frick lost $1,000,0O0 to Andrew
Carnegie in 1899 in an attempt to or
ganize a similar concern.
"In 1897 and 1898 the price of steel
was pretty well demoralized," said
Gates. 1T was the general opinion
that the activities of Andrew Car
negie and the Carnegie Steel company
were responsible for conditions. Frick
and Moore conceived the idea of buy.
ing Carnegie out and they paid ST..
100000 for an option on the Carnegie
plant at q price Of about $160, 900, 900.
After holding it for a time they were
forced to forfeit the $1.O00.OO0 and
that made them very sore.
"In 1899 or 1900 Morgan organized
the National Tube company and was
making money manufacturing tubes
He was then heavily interested in rail-
roads. Carnegie let 1t be known that
he proposed to build a tube plant at
Ashtabula, O., and to build railroad
that would round up his various in
dustrial plants and relieve him from
the necessity of paying freight rates
to outside roads.
"This made Morgan very nervous
and he called James j. Hill into con-
ference to find some way to prevent
Carnegie from carrying out his pro-
ject. They were afraid that Carnegie
would demoralize the railroad busi-
ness as he had the steel situation.
Hill Acts az Go-Between.
"Mr. Hill, who was a very good
friend OF mine, suggested that might
BE- able to do something. Morgan de-
clared that we were not on very good
terms and asked him to come to me
end try to arrange an interview. l
consented to an interview and told
Morgan and Hill that there was only
ono man who could take care OF Car
negie and that was Charles Schwab.
II had Schwab come on to New
York and the tentative plan for the
consolidation Of the steel industry
was evolved. The scheme We then
evolved was the one put into effect.

DAN MYERS LOSS
ESTIMATED $4,000
Fire Originating Supposedly From De.
fective Wiring Causes Loss of
Probably $1,000.

Fire, supposed to have been caused
by defective wiring, resulted in loss
estimated at $4,000 last night in the
Winner building at the corner of Cana
dian avenue and Wilson street.
The fire was discovered about 10: 30
last might by Sheriff lRidenhour, who
had started home and was passing the
building, when he noticed smoke COM
ling from the rear of the building. The
fire department was called out and by
getting promptly at the seat of the
fire soon had it extinguished. The
blaze had started in much the same
manner as the fire which destroyed the
block on South Wilson street on De
|cember 1. When the fireman arrived
they found the fire was between the
ceiling of the ground floor and the
floor above. By breaking a small
window in the rear the fire fighters
got above the blaze and by cutting
holes in the floor were able to get
water to the fire and extinguish it.
The ground floor of the Winner build
ing is occupied by Dan Myers store,
which suffered the greatest loss as a
result of the fire. The loss to Dan
Myers is estimated at $4,000 and was
confined to his shoes, ladies ready-to-
wear and millinery departments. The
damage was caused by flooding the
store wita water and by the smoke.
Some of mis- mems clothing was also
damaged, but the loss in that depart
ment was comparatively small. A par
tition was built across the store today
and it was again open for business this
afternoon.
Mr.. Myers was very grateful to the
firemen for saving his store and this
presented the department
with $50 in appreciation of their val
liant service.
The upper story of the building is
occupied by offices and a few families
doing light housekeeping Probably
the heaviest losers of these was Starr
& Patton, attorneys, whose office fix
lures were badly damaged Dr.. G.. o.
Burch also lost considerable by means
Of breakage as did the other tenants.
The damage to the building is esti-
mated at $1,000. This can all be re-
placed, and it is understood the entire
loss is covered by insurance.

TAFT DEFINES PROPOSED
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT
President Addresses State Legislature of ILL.,
nois---NOt Formal Treaty by Agreement
to Enact Certain Statutes Providing the
Other Country Similar Provision.

| The president said the criticism
that reductions had been avoided pur-
posely on manufacturer articles was
wholly unfounded and that a reeiproc-
ity agreement between the United
States and Canada must of necessity
relate more to agriculture products
than manufactures.
THE suggestion that the opening
of our markets to Canadian wheat and
other cereals" continued the president
will reduce the price of land in Ohio
Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa, is refuted
by every tabled statistics.
ITO let the wheat of the northwest
come down to Minneapolis and Chi
cago will steady the price of wheat
But that it will in the end substantial
ly reduce the price of wheat, fixed for
the world in Liverpool, no one familiar
with conditions will assert.
1T will give the United States much
greater control of the wheat market
than it has ever had before. 1t will
enable its milling plants to turn Cana
dian wheat into -four and send abroad
the finished product and will stimu-
late the sale of manufactures and other
things that we have to sell to Canada. ;"
The president further asserted that
in removing the artificial barriers be-
tween the northwestern part of the
United States and Canadian provinces,
the agreement would result in the
bringing over Of live cattle to feed on
the corn of the American farmer.
The president said that mo step
could be taken more in the interest of
a reasonable policy of protection that
the approval of the treaty "and that
insistepce on too much protection
would rouse an opposition in this
country that will know no modera-
ton"
He said that that was his reason also
for favoring the creation of IAN expert
tariff commission or board"
We have taken up those things that
are involved in Canadian reciprocity
treaty because opportunity offered"
declared President Taft in conclusion
Now is the accepted time. She is at
the parting of the ways. Shall she be
an isolated country, as much separat-
ed from us as if she were across the
ocean, or shall her people and our
people profit by the proximity that our
geography furnishes and stimulate the
trade across the border that nothing
but a useless, illogical and unneces-
sary tariff wall creates. ?"
