Wireless COnviCtS Join Bankers
 Prison Colony
(Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press)
 New York, Aug. 23tThe Bankers Colony, at Atlanta prison, will gain three new members today when Col onel Christopher c. Wilson, president of the United Wireless Company; Francis Baker, general counsel, and W. w. Tompkins, general selling agent, reach there. Their final appeal to have their conviction of using the malls to defraud set aside, failed and the federal marshal and his aides started with them for Atlanta yester- day afternoon. The trio were shown at their trial to have sold millions of dollars worth of stock to small inves- tors all over the country, most of them women and working people. and to have used the money received for their own purposes. In passing sentence, the court denounced the men as the "meanest kind of thieves"
 Colonel Wilson recently declared that one reason he desired to have his sen- tence set aside was that he had re- gently become a father. Although more than 70, he married his 19-year- old stenographer the day he was first indicted. He is a professional pro- nfoter and is rated as a millionaire.

 Birthday.

Brockton, Mass, Aug 23-The Hon. Jonathan White, one of the three old est Yale graduates, former State rep resentative and former State Senator and the oldest man in Brockton, cele- brated his 92d birthday yesterday.

HONEST MEDICINES
 VERSUS FAKES,

President Taft's recent message suggesting an amendment to the Pure Food and Drugs law in its relation to Prepared Medicines, does rot refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully compounded of in- gredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical pro- fession itself as the best known rem edial agents for the diseases they are intended to counteract For over three decades Foley's Honey and Tar Com pound has been a standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for chil- dren and for grown persons, and it retains today its pre-eminence above all other prepara tions of it's kind. Fo- ley Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. F. B. Brill and Cur tiS Pharmacy. P3 135

 Worthy Of Note

Milwaukee, Aug. 23-Victor L.. Der ger, the only Socialist ever elected to Congress, has written his views on the extra session of Congress, as fol- lows:
 By Victor L. Berger.)
 Congress, in this extra session, did only three things that were worth while. It passed the reciprocity treaty with Canada, which means the first great breach in the high tariff wall which the manufacturing class had built up for it's own profit. Second. it passed campaign publicity, which is good thing. And it admitted Arizona and New Mexico to Sta tehood although I am sorry that the recall feature was eliminated by the Sen ate.
 The Democratic party was the ruI- ing factor of the session. While the Democrats were better led than in the past, they did not make the best of their opportunities.

Fort Worth, June 16. a hail and
rain storm swept strip of territory

blew harder than has been known in
years. The storm was more furious
than the one which swept the same
territory four months ago.

vicinity and all streams were swollen

SEAMANS STRIKE

LEADERS PROFESS TO BE Salts
FLED WITH PRESENT STATUS
OF AFFAIRS.
German Crews Desert Ships and
Craftsmen Vote Aid to Strik-
ing Seamen.

London, June 16.-The leaders of
the strike of seamen profess to be
greatly encouraged by reports they
have received from various points
where men have obeyed the call to
go out and by the fact that numbers
of the ship-owners have conceded
the strikers ten shilling per month
advance in wages.
The strike, however, is still half
hearted affair. In majority of cases
crews that go out are easily replaced
and there is little indication of the
strike becoming general.
There is some anxiety, however,
regarding the numper of liners which
are due to leave Southampton and
Liverpool tomorrow.
While the movement is spreading
slightly in some directions, some of
the large ports are totoally unaffect-
ed by the strike.

him that Castro was not now and
had not been at all on board the mys-

The minister told Mr.. Furniss that
the captain of the Consul Grostuck
had admitted he was joking when he
said that the Venzulan was on his
ship.

Meet at Jefferson City.

Kansas City, June 16.-After being
in session here FIVE days, the ring
of the states custer suit against the
alleged lumber trust adjourned to-
day to reconvene in Jefferson City
June 81.
The state then will introduce three
or four witnesses and rest It's case.
Then the defense will begin the pro-
lection Of it's evidence. Albert Bush
nell. lumber commission dealer,
of this city, was the only new wit
ness introduced today. His testi-
mony was that yellow pine prices
had gone UP from $40 to $40 thou
sand feet in the last fifteen years
ami that the increases from the gem
orally followed the issuance OF price
lists by the Yellow Pine Manufac-
turer's Association.
Attorney w. G, Scarritt, for the de-
Tense introduced the last report OF
the forestry branch of the depart
ment of commence and labor OF 1909
showing that in the last ten years
other kinds of lumber had advanced
more in prices than had yellow pine.

pleted before Sunday and the final
report of the committees made.
Three committees were at work
yesterday and they did splendid work,
The citizens generally responded in
good shape and the soliciting com
mittees were well satisfied with the
days work. The whole fund is now
believed to be in sight. but there is
still work to be done to raise the ad-
dltional $6,145.
The subscriptions yesterday range !.
from $500 down to IS, and there
were many of them.
The general public has little con-
ception of the amount of actual work
done by the three committees yes
terday. A glance at the list at the
head of this column, noting the
widely separated locations of the
subscribers will give but slight idea
of the amount of actual canvassing
done.
Remember the final installment
will be the most difficult to raise.
The amount is trivial, however, COM
pared to the amount raised and vol
untary subscriptions ought to com
plete it before tonight.

cultivation is unusually thorough and
unier the spur of high prices, fields
are generally clean and dry. May is
supposed by some to have helped a
good deal towards the raising of a
big crop. The short interest in the
new crop months has naturally been
reduced on tae big rise and the dis
counts too are not SO glaring as they
were only short time ago. Though
rain is desired in many sections,
some reports insist that little or no
actual damage has yet been done by
the dry weather. Three adverse
weekly government weather reports
in succession lead many to indulge
in gloomy predictions regardig the
next crop. Rain has been needed in
Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana. Tennes-
see and Mississippi. Temperatures
of 100 to 10S have prevailed over a
wide range of cotton territory at the
south.
The south is not as rule selling
the next crop. Others are selling
them from time to time and are
rounded up every now and then part
ly on drought reports and aggressive
bullish operations by New York, Chi
cago. New Orleans, Memphis and
Texas people. Spinners and spot
houses have been buying the new
crop options for months past at pfs
and tempting discounts created on
the assumption that big acreage,
generous fertillzing and careful cul-
tivation would mean a big crop.
