BIG CROP LOSS REPORTED
Promised Corn Yield of Country Cut
Third of Billion" Bushels
in One Month.

Washington.-The greatest decline
in they condition of crops during a sin
gle month since 1904 general
slump throughout the country, due to
drouth and intense heats indicated
in the government crop report for
August, published by the department
of agriculture.
The report presents estimates of
the damage done to all crops during
July. 1t is the most dfscouraging as
to general conditions that the depart
ment has issued for any single month
in a decade. It indicates a yield per
acre smaller than in any year during
the ten-year period.
The promise of the corn crop is cut
down 335,000,000 bushels, according to
the report. The estimated crop on
August 1 was 2,62O,221,400 bushels.
This compares with a promise on July
/ of 1850, OO0. 900 bushels and a final
yield last year of 3,125,96S,OOO
bushels.
The spring wheat yield is brought
down from 245.O00,000 bushels to an
indicated crop of only 209,575,000
bushels. There was a serious loss in
condition of the oats crop, the sug-
gested yield being S18,000,000 bushels,
or S00,000,0o0 bushels less than the
big crop Of last year.

PERKINS is LET OFF
HOUSE STEEL COMMITTEE DROPS
CAMPAIGN FUND QUESTION.
Flnancier Who Refuses to Tell Of Per.
sonai Contributions Wins His
Point.

Washington.-George w. Perkins,
director of the United States Steel
corporation and former partner in J.
Pierpont Morgan & Co., was not cited
for contempt before the bar of the
house by the house committee of In
quiry into the affairs of the steel cor
poration. Neither will he be.
The committee decided at a turbu-
lent executive session not to press
questions relating to Mr.. Perkins per-
sonal campaign contributions. The
inquiry into gifts of the New York
Life Insurance company and the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, 1t was
said, was left in allegiance.
The committees decision not to
press the inquiry into campaign con-
tributions was based on the conclu-
sion that the house resolution did not
give authority to go into this sub
ject. 1t was said that Representative
Littleton of New York insisted that
the committee would transcend its
power.
Chairman Stanley and Representa-
tives Littleton and Sterling of the
committee and Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner of corporations, had a
conference with President Taft at the
White House following the executive
sessions. All refused to discuss the
conference.
Chairman Stanley and his associ.
ates, it was learned, had gone to the
White House to ask the president to
release the reports of the commission
er Of corporations on the steel indus
try with view to getting at some of
the information sought by the inquiry.
President Taft, it was said, prom
ised to give the committee all infor-
nation in the possession of the bureau
of corporations in regard to the steel
trust which could be furnished with

VETO BILL PASSED
LORDS PASS MEASURE BY VOTE
OF 1871 TO ia AFTER STORMY
DEBATE.
LORD ROSEBERY AN OPPONENT
Threat to Create Scores of New
Peers Again Is Made by Govern
ment Before Final Ballot Is Taken
In Upper House.

London.-The house of lords passed
the veto bill by vote of 131 to ia.
Thus the creation Of new peers has
been averted. The resolution to pay
members of the house of commons
$4,000 annually for their services was
also carried by vote of 256 to 159.
After days and days of discussion
In which necessary business of the
government has been hopelessly side
tracked, Lord Morley came out with
the plain statement that unless the
bill as originally sent to the lords
was passed the king had signified
his willingness to create enough new
peers to prevent the Liberals from be.
ing hampered by Tory majority in
the house of lords.
Morley read the statement slowly
from a paper on which 1t was written
and there was not a whisper In the
house while he was speaking. The
lords were up against wall and
although few in the chamber at all
relished the measure the majority OF

before them ever since their leaders
declared they would veto the veto
bill even as they had the budget.
the cause of all their woes.
Old friends of the government lined
up with it's foes in the debate pre-
ceding the taking of the vote, and
Conservative peers, seeing the re-
suit of a continued opposition to the
administration, took the lesser of the
two evils presented them.
The debate Immediately preceding
the taking of the vote was short and
marked by the bitter speeches of
UUnionist opponents.
Lord Rosebery, who spoke for the
first time since the veto bill was in
troduced in the upper house, de-
nounced the government for having
gone to "a young and inexperienced
king, not yet five months upon the
throne. to ask for guarantees to pass
a bill that had not even passed its
first reading in the house of COM
mons"

PHILOSOPHY TO TIE RESCUE
Pat Went Without His Steak, but &c
That Everything Was Not
Lost,

Charles Nagel, secretary of CON-
merce and labor, says the Irish race
has, in addition to it's sentiment and
romance, a lot of philosophy as one
of its characteristics.
'The best illustration 1 ever heard
OF this" he explained to a dinner
party one evening, was the case OF
a poor Irishman who had been given
a fine, Juicy piece of steak. Being a
religious man, he placed the steak In
front of him, and there, in the shade
of the trees surrounding his benefac-
tors house, he folded his hands,
closed his eyes, and gave thanks to
heaven for the meal. When he was
in the attitude of prayer, a dog rushed
up and captured the steak. Pat
looked around in time to see the food
disappearing over the hill
THANK heaven he exclaimed,
again closing his eyes, he left me my
appetite!' THE Sunday Magazine.

London.-A body of cavalry num-

shot for London. Twelve special
trains are ready at Aldershot to fol-

strike situation.
Food prices have jumped from 80 to
800 per cent. out of reach of the poor

the thousands of tons of provisions
rotting on the wharves and markets.
The Thames is blocked with steam

The supply of petrol is about ex-
hausted Half of all the motor buses
in the city have been withdrawn

Great suffering is being caused by
the lack of ice.
Several outbreaks have occurred,
each resulting in clash with the
police.
The gravity of the situation was
shown in the house of commons when
Winston Churchill, the home secre-
tary, declared that if the strike was
not settled at once it would be neces-
sary for the government to take a
hand in quelling the disturbances and
supplying food.
Strike Spreads to Railroads.
Not only is the strike unsettled, but

LEGAL KIDNAPPING HIT
CONGRESS URGED TO CHECK
HASTY EXTRACTION.
Senate Special Committee Files Re-
port Apparently Based on Hay
wood and McNamara Cases.

Washington.-The process OF legal
kidnapping" as in the labor cases of
Meyer, Haywood and Mcnamara, was
condemned in a report presented by
the senate select committee appointed
to investigate the third degree methods
Of the police authorities of the United
States. Senator Borah presented the
report on behalf of the committee.
The committee said the practice OF
hurrying accused men from one state
to another without giving them an Op-
portunity to be heard should be pre-
vented by prohibiting extradition I'M
til after lapse of a certain number
of days or by some other effective
plan.
The only other recommendation was
the cessation of Jury shadowing" by
the secret service men. The inquiry
did not extend to the police methods
of the state or cities, the committee
believing it's jurisdiction did not in
clude them.
The committees comment on irreg-
ular extraditions evidently was based
on the course pursued in removing
Meyer and Haywood from Colorado to
Idaho on the charge of numbering
Governor Steunenberg and in getting
MCNAMARA from Indiana on the
charge Of destroying the Los Angeles
Times building, but neither instance
is specifically mentioned. They were
spoken of as cases in which mo op-
portunity was offered to test the 1e-
gality of the proceedings or the juris-
diction Of the court granting judg-
ment"

Veteran Maine Statesman Succumbs
to Heart Disease at His Homo
In Lewiston.

Lewiston, Me.-United States Sen
ator William Pierce Frye died at his
home in this city from heart dis
ease, aged eighty-one years.
Senator Frye was dean of the
Unietd States senate. His term of

All last winter he was i'll, but went
regularly to the senate and met every
requirement of his work.
The death of Senator Frye means
that Maine will be represented in the

Democrat and he will appoint man
of his party to take the place, pend
ing a meeting of the legislature,
which is a Democratic body.
Senator Frye's wife died about ten
