STRIKE COMPELS
 FACTORY TO MOVE

New York. July Special. )--An- noutcement was made yesterday that F. Rhode & Co, manufacturers of printing presses, have definitely decided to move their factory from this city. where it has been since the business was started more than one hundred years ago. The fourth generation of the family is now engaged in it and it is operated as a corporation.
 Labor trouble are frankly admitted to furnish the motive for removal. The machinists began to demand higher prices and fewer hours two years ago As the result of several concessions their hours of work were reduced from 10 to 9, and their wages were increased from 25 to 30 per cent. On April 30 last the men presented a demand for an eight hour day, with notice that un !. less it were granted that afternoon none of the 10, ,000 men in the machine shops would return to work the fol- lowing Monday morning. It was no. granted and the strike still continues.

COTTON EXPECTED ID BECOME NORMAL Operators Will Attempt to Settle Reaction of the
 Market

New Orleans, July 2s.-This. week the cotton market will probably settle down into more normal state. Following the liquidation of last week there was great uncertainty and little attention was lures of the situation The first thing that operators of prominence will at tempt to settle this week is the vexed question of reaction.
 After any decline like that of last week it is but natural to expect a wide re- action. Such a reaction has not yet been seen and the reason for it's non- appearance is very puzzling to the ma jority of traders and brokers. Many bears are working as hard as the bulls for an upturn. chiefly because when they took their profits on the decline. they went long in anticipation of the reac- tion that almost inevitably follows any price movement of consequence This long interest will sell out on a rise of 20 to 9 points and go short again, and, there- fore, those who trade this week will have to watch closely to catch the turns in the situation.
 Some bears claim there will be no re- action and that the crop situation is good enough to WarTnat decline to the 11-cent level for the new crop without it. Prob ably the weather will decide the reac- tion question; any little unfavorabe turn in the news from the belt will redouble the desire of manipulators to run the weak shorts in," while favorable news will have the tendency to cause scalping longs to llquidate at as. small loss as possible.
 The old crop months will he more in active than ever this week, unless all signs fail There is now no indication that anyone wants the job of putting the August delivery up to the level bulls say it ought to be trading or to take charge of the squeeze in July that has been predicted for many months past. Bearish operators say that the abnor- maly early movement of the new crop has much to do with the quitting of the bulls ir the old crop months.
 Tuesday is the last day to be consid- cred in the August report on condition by the government. This report win be issued on August and the latter part of this week will be given up to con- sideration of it. Rather more dispute than usual is promised over the figures owing to semi-monthly reports from pri vate crop reporting bureaus. some of which appea red to have been made rather to favor the position of certain traders than to, give a correct idea of the status of the growing crop.

SUBMARINES DO
 WONDERFUL WORK

New York, July 2s.-fSpecial. )-Had it not been for the wonderful work of the submarines in the mimic naval bat tie waged along an imaginary line be- tween Montaul Point and No Man S Land between the Atlantic fleet, com manded by Admiral Hugo osterhaus. and the Atlantic torpedo flotilla, un- der the command of Commander Edward H. Eberele, New York. would now be, theoritically, at he mercy of the invad- CTS guns. As Ii is Admiral Osterhaus has acknowledged the defeat of his flee. and admits that the defenders submarines, theoretically, sank eight of his big ships. The success of the sub : marines in the battle that was planned by Secretary of the Navy George Von l.. Meyer will be the subject of report of every man who commanded a ship that took part in the sham fight

BURGLARS BURN
 CHICAGO HOMES

Chicago, July 23-t Special. )-Burg- lars known as torch bearers by the police attempted to burn fifteen fansi- lies in the beds early yesterday, getting fire to six buildings in Lincoln avenue. Two of the burglar fire bugs were found hiding in bed room of one of the burning houses and desperate hand to hand encounter between the men and the owner of the cottage ensued, the burglars beating him se- verely and escaping.
 A number of women and girls had narrow escapes from death and one young woman, Catherine Noll, of 342i Lincoln avenue. awakened to find her bed on fire. Before her sisters coul come to her assistance her hair had been burned from her head. She and her sisters reached the street with diff ficulty.

PARIS INTERESTED
 IN NEW PREMIER Caillaux Has Presidential
 Aspirations IS SHREWD FINANCIER Salon des Independents Closes High Iy Successful Season-Theatre
 Nouveautes Is Condemned
 to Make Room
IS SHREWD FINANCIER

Paris, July S.-France is intensely in- terested fin the personality and career of her new prime minister, Joseph Caillaux, for among other things he is accredited with ambitions to'the presidency when the present term of Faillieres expires. MT Caillaux has great wealth. He is the son of a distinguished father Eugene Caillaux, who had a prominent place in politics after the Franco Prussian war and was like his son. minister of finance.
 Caillaux becomes premier at AS. He sthe personification of tireess activity and work. In appearance he is clear eyed and aggressive. There Is a French saving that the great orators of the country seem almost always to come from the south. Caillaux Is neither of the north or south, but like Baron d Es- tuurneles de Constant, was born in the Sarthe department in the west central dis trict.
 He is not an impassioned orator like the brilliant Briand, but he makes a strong, business-like speech. Sometimes in the heat of interested discussion he becomes passionate, condemnatory, but invariably returns to the calm business mans standpoint.
 The premier Is shrewd financier by heredity, training and experience. He is a radical who believes in broad radical programme of progress He is,. for in- stance, the artisan of the income tax project which has been passed by the chamber of deputies but which is now held up in the senate. He believes in pensions for the workingmen and intends that this measure adopted by parlia- rnent shall be put into operation soon.
 In a few words, the new premier might be summed up as a financier-statesman and as a millionaire radical working for social reform

The march of municipal improvement has cost Paris her celebrated home of roaring farce.p The vast scheme of constructing new streets and extending others in the heart of Paris to relieve the congestion of traffic has led to the civic condemnation of the theatre Nou- yeautes located in the most ,roddan part of the Grande Boulevards.
 The night of June 30 was historical among stage people and stage lovers, for it was the occasion of the final produc- tion at the Nouveautes as well as the 1032d presentation of "Champignol Malgre Lu," a great popular success of the type which has kept all Paris laughing at this theatre for years.
 The Nouveautes was opened in 1878 and after troublesome early career launched into full success, soon becoming the recognized home of the farce comedy and mounting such favorite pieces as La Dame de chez Maxim's' Lnd ''Vous n'avez rien a declarer."

The Salon des Independents, which has just closed its doors for 1911. has had a more complete success than ever before, and quite justified it's claim to the con- sideration of the art world
 Started as a revolt against the condi- tions of official art which ostraczed Whistler, Monet, Degas Renoir and the whole impressionist school, as well as such masters as Puvis de Chavannes from the regular salons, the Salon des Independents has no jury. On paying the iues of 8, anyone is at liberty to ex- hibit on a given wall space whatever he
 nay choose, provided that the police raise TO objection on the plea of decency or public order.
 At first the only exhibitors were mem- bers of that advanced Post-Impressionist school which is headed by Matisse, whose effusions were grouped in one section popularly known as the wild beast show worthy amateurs or semi-ama- teurs whose technical qualifications were insufficient to obtain for them an entry to the other salons, and small section of Russian revolutionaries who communi- cated their wildly symboical dreams to canvas, with great conviction but little skill. Soon, however, the work of the few whose dangerous originality or bad luck had prevented them from obtaining q place in other exhibitions began to tell. Buyers appeared including the discrmi- mating Under Secretary of State for Fine Arts who always acquires certain num- Der of pictures for the government and the astonishing fact became apparent that pictures were obtaining better prices than at the two consecrated salons.
 Now it is almost as hard to get into the Independents as into the old and new salons, for many painters of recog- nized worth and reputation are throwing in their lot with the new organization and abandoning the homes of official art.
