.AD MEN DISCUSS
 HONESTY IN ADS

Boston, August Truth in advertising was the keynote of the addresses at the first general session this afternoon of the seventh annual convention of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America.
 Boston is a fitting place to exalt your calling" said James Schermerhorn of De- troit, at this afternoons meeting. Truth took charge of Bostons earliest adver- Using. There was no benzoate of bun oombe in the copy from Bunker Hill, Lexington, Concord and the Boston tea party. The series of patriotic advertise ments pulled tremendously all around the world and is producing to this very hour" -.
 Bert M. Morse of New York, declared:
 "A code of ethics for advertising that all could espouse and observe might consist of one single word 'honesty.'
 In his annual report President 5. c. Dobbs of Atlanta, Ga, advocated the formation of state organizations of ad- vertsng men.
 A letter from Col. Theodore Roosevelt urged cleanliness. honesty. and ~decency in advertising. The writer said the ad vance along this line was praiseworthy, but that newspapers are tagging a little behind the magazines, in his opinion.

VETO CHAMPIONS
 SEEM CONF|DE

London. August 1.-Head counting in the house of lords on the veto bill has now been transferred to the lib- eral side of the chamber. Viscount Morley has written to all the liberal peers, intimatlng that the veto bill will be submitted to the lords again,
 probably, August 9, and after referring g to the hostile intentions of the Hals- buryI,es asks, in view of this emer-
 gency, whether he may count upon the attendance in the chamber on that date of the recipient. This move is inter- preted to mean that the government now is confident of its ability to out vote the Halsburyites without the ne- cessity of crea ting new peers. q. It is still expected that several of
 the unionist peers will vote with the government, although the bulk of them will follow Lord Lansdowne's advice and abstain from voting. Under the present circumstances the question
 whether the divided unionist party will
 be able to close up its ranks becomes a subsidiary matter. At the dinner given tonight to Lord
 St Audries, MT. Balfour, contrary to
 expectation, did not allude in his speech
 to the constl,utional crisis.

Start at Resla

Havana August l.-An uprising against the government, apparently of a serious character occurred last night at Regla. a suburb of Havana. across the harbor. General Guillermo Acevedo, a revolutionary veteran, with eight or ten companions armed and mounted took the field. It is reported the party was reinforced later by 200 men.
 Before leaving Regla, Acevedo is sued a manifesto denouncing the ad ministration of President Gomez as scandalous and corrupt and calling on all patriotic Cubans to rise and over throw it. He declared he would give Gomez 15 days to resign, after which, if the warning was not obeyed he in tended to apply. the torch and destroy property indiscriminately until the en- tire island was reduced to ashes.
 Setting forth from Regla the insur- gents skfrted Havana, seemingly bound for Pinar del Rio. They halted at the suburb of Luyano. where they seized a. citizen named Naranjo demanding g that he act as their guide Upon his refusal, Nanranjo was shot dead The party then rode on.
 Early today strong detachments of troops were dispatched in pursuit of the rebels It is probable the rurales will have difficulty in following the trail. There are rumors a fight has already taken place. AceVedo headed an upris- ing in Pinar del Rio province year ago. He was captured tried and sentenced to life imprisonment Last October he was pardoned His followers are believed to include some of the desperadoes who at tackled the rurales in their barracks al Guanabacoa in 1906. massacreing the gar: rison which was the first act of the rev olutionists which overthrow President Palma.
 Washington. August News of the up- rising in Cuba surprised administration officials.
 Lately Sencretary Knox sent a mes sage of assurance to the Cubans that the United States did not contemplate inter- vention. Cuban fears had been excited by reports of interference connected with the visit late this week of Secretary of War Stimson to the island

NAGEL REPORTS ON
 STEEL INDUSTRY One-Third of the Employees Work Seven 12-Hour
 Days a Week

Washington, August 1.-Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor today in a special report to the Senate on the conditions of em- ployment in the iron and steel in dustry in the United States, stated that out of 4so.ooO employees covered in the report, "the customary working week of one-third of them was a seven day week, Sunday not differing from other days and approximately one7fourth Of the 4s9,0o0 worked S4 hours or over per week, which, in effect means a 12-hour day every day In the week, Including Sunday"
 Secretary Nagle's report covers practically all the iron and steel plants in the United States, numbering S44.
 "The fact that stands out most strik- ingly in any study of the labor con ditions in. the iron and steel industry In the United States" says the report. ifs the extent to. which the l2-hour and a week of seven days still prevail in this industry.
 Much of the Sunday work Is no more necessary than in other industries. says the report. Added significance at taches to the conditions of labor Tn the iron and steel industries In com parison with the general tendency in other industries for years past toward a shorter working day.
 .It is therefore in striking contrast to this general tendency in other in- dustries to find in a great basic in dustry that approximately only 10 per cent of the 1000 employees in special iron and steel occupations work less than 50 hours per week and almost 50 per cent 72 scur< or ot sf per "ees.
 Nearly 6v per cent of the employes are foreign born, and nearly two-thirds of these are of the Slavic race.
 Almost half of the s0,00O employees receive less than IS cents an hour, one- quarter under 25 cents an hour. and the other one fourth 25 cents and over an hour. Those receiving 50 cents and over an hour number less than one twentieth.

 water has been rising fast in here. and it is about waist deep in some places now"
 The ground where the mine is located | is known as dry ground and it has never been necessary to use a pump. This l fact lends encouragement to the rescuers.

The first decision as to the number was for three senators. but those mem toned will now be appointed, unless there is a change of view.
 Senator Penrose and other regular republicans had practically made up their minds, after the wool bill passed the Senate, that they would refuse to take part in any conference, on the ground that 1t was democrat-insur- gent combination which pushed it through the Senate. aBut they changed their minds and will participate in the conference.
 It Is expected the conferees will get to work at once, and senators are gen orally hopeful of a. favorable outcome The prevailing opinion is that the two bodies will split the difference. mak- ing the rate on raw wool 27h per cent ad valorem.

yardaman Next Senator

Jackson, Miss, August 1.-Former Gov. James K. Vardaman probably will be the next United States senator from Mississippi Meager returns from to- days democratic primary election up to 10 o'clock show that he is leading Senator Leroy Percy and c. H. Alex ander at ratio of about 46 per cent.
 These returns are from towns and pre- cincts easily accessible to telegraphic
 communication. In the more remote
 rural districts it is reasonably pre- dicted that this ratio will be sufficiently increased so as to give Major Varda . man small majority over both his op- ponents.
 The long campafgr, which culnttnated in todays election has been one of the most bitter in the history of Mississippi politics. The state has been stumpe by the candidates and other speakers, and charges and counter charges have been freely made Several personal clashes have occurred and because of the intense partisan feeling peace off cers of the state made special prepar- ations today to put down any disorder. These precautions proved unnecessary, however, as the election passed off quietly.
 Nominations were also made for all state offices in today's election. Earle
 Brewer of Coahoma county headed the ticket for governor and had no oppo- sition.
 Interest centered in the race for lieu tenant governor, the candidates being Theodore c. Bilbo of Pearl River coun- ty. T. o. Newell of Carroll county and Wiley T Nash of Starkville.
 The meager returns at hand show that Bilbo is leading his opponents, but second primary will probably be necessary to select the nominee
 The weather today was not propitous for a heavy vote. Rain fell in many sections of the state and other recent rains left the country roads in an un- inviting condition.

New York, August That the ore ana coal holdings acquired by thef United States Steel corporation in the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron com pany in 1907 have valuation of $2OO,- o0o,ooJ was estimated from figures on the mineral holdings of the Tennessee com pany today given to the House of Repre- eentatives committee on inquiry into the Steel corporation by expert engineers.
 In acquiring the Tennessee company the United States Steel corporation ex- changed per cent second bonds, valued at S29 000,00o, the transaction having been brought about to prevent the collapse of the New York brokerage firm of Moore & Schley because of excessive loans with Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad seek as collateral.
 Representative Stanley And other mem bers of the committee have sought to de- velop evidence tending to prove charges that the impending panic and danger to Moore & Schley was not the prime mo- tive for the merger but that t was de- sire on the part of the Steel corporation to acquire the Tennessee company and its vast mineral deposits of the Birmingham district.
 c. P. Perrin Testifies
 In furtherance of that idea, notwith- standing the positive assertions of wit nesses who participated in the exchange that the Suggestion of conspiracy was preposterous. the committee heard today the testimony of c. P. Perrin, Walter Moore and W. M Given, expert engineers who appraised the deposits of the Bir- mingham field in 1904.
 These men testified that the ore de- posits of that region and their prox- imity to coal deposits estimated at nearly two billions tons make the ter ritory almost unparalleled from an ore producing standpoint.
 Ore royalties of 35 cents a ton on more than 400, O0OOo0 tons in that re- zion acquired by the steel corpora tio from the Tennessee company, and coal deposits aggregating more than 1,600,000 tons were given by the eX- perts as a basis upon which members of the committee compute that these properties alone are worth $200.000 900.
 Much of the testimony was technical, and but three members of the commit tee, Chairman Stanley and Reprcsenta- tives Young of Michigan and Danforth of New York were present.
 In corroborating a statement made by engineer Perrin, W. M. Given of Bir- mingham pictured the Birmingham ore field as of incalculable value. Of the available ore in all the region the es- timated holdings of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company were given as from 50 to 70 per cent
 The experts agreed that pig iron could be produced there sf ton cheaper than in the Pittsburg district and $3 a ton less than any place in the world.
 Tomorrow Grant B. Schley of Moore X Schley is expected to testify J. H. Topping,s another member of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron syndicate also has been subpoened.

Mining Experts Agree That Pig Iron Can Be Produced in Birming- 's s Ton Cheaper Than

WHY BIRMINGHAM GROWS


 Summed up, the estimate reached by Mir Perrin and his associates, was that the district contained from 400,000,000 to 500,o0O,000 tons of iron ore and from 1000, 100000 to 1000, 100000 tons of coal.
 Chairman Stanley asked MT. Perrin his opinion of the value of the ore in the Birmingham district as compared with other ore deposits anywhere in the world.
 "Taking it at large said MT. Perrin, ''it is one of the great est and most valuable ore prop critics that I know of in the world. One of its chief advan- tages is proximity of the ore to the coal.'
 MT. Perrin also declared that cost of producing pig iron in the Birmingham district was at least s3 a ton less than in any other district in the world.
