Hot Wave Breaking.

Washington, July 6.-The hot wave
is breaking. Altho temperatures in
some localities We're above 100 and
were as high If not higher than We'd
nesday, the torridity that has levied a
heavy toll Of death and a greater one
of suffering is to be dissipated, &C
cording to weather bureau experts.
The middle west, especially beyond
the Mississippi valley, is still in the
grip Of the hot wave, but cooler wealth
er is expected there within the next
twenty-four hours. Weather bureau
officials took an optimistic view Of the
situation and held out promise for
early relief.
There was much suffering here yes
terday. the temperature on the street
reaching 104.5, altho the weather bureau
gave the official temperature as 90.
Three persons are dead. There were
many prostrations.
Light showers were reported in the
upper lake region and brought relief
to that section. At other points in the
west the weather was fair with the
temperature lowering above 100.

COMMITTEE OF THIRTY NAMED
At BRUSSELS TO DRAFT
PLANS FOR ORGANIZATION.
JUDGE GARY, FATHER OF
SCHEME, HEADS COMMITTEE
Gary's Cooperative Plan Based on the
Golden Ruc-Committe on Oreani-
cation to Report at Called Meeting
Of Full Confere nce-Welfare Of In
dustres Cause Of Project.

Brussels. Belgium, July 6.--The steel
men concluded the business which had
called them together from nine steel
producing countries In a brief session
today and adjourned. Most of the
Americans left for Paris late in the
committee OF thirty. made up OF
members proposed by each national
group to work out plan for an inter-
national steel organization and sub
NIT the same to the full conference
when called.
The American members of the COM
nlittee are Judge F.. II. Gary. chairman
Of the board OF directors OF the United
States Steel Corporation: Charles NJ
Schwab, president Of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation: e. a. s. Clark. pres
ident Of the Lackawanna Steel Com
pany, and Willis L. King. vice president
Of the Jones & Laughlin Steel Com
pany.
The committee organized forthwith
by making Judge Gary chairman ana
w. 3. Peat. Of England, secretary
The plan would create an interna-
tional association for the interchange
Of opinions and Information between
iron and steel producers OF the world
concerning all questions relating to the
industry.
Following Mr.. Gary's address, the
conference adopted resolution &C
cepting Mr.. Gary's proposals. and de-
cided to appoint committee to work
out definite plan.
Mr. Gary gave many reasons In sup
port Of his cooperation plan.
Suppose" said he. that company
Of men engaged in business and pos
sessinc much capital. power and infiu-
ence, should, by their conduct. unjust
or oppressive, secure universal disap-
prevail, disgust. and antagonism on the
part OF the public In a brief space OF
fine these men would be driven out OF
business.
again, let us assume that during
given YEAR the demand for product
EQUALS less than one-half OF the capac-
ity to produce, and yet each producer ls
greedy and anxious to sell more than
his fair proportion and acts accord
inrly. This attitude will produce de-
structive results"
It would be difficult. the chairman
continued, to bring about an Ideal IN
business, yet right disposition. cour-
age, patience and the application OF
tho highest thought might reach that
position. The first essential to this was
thorough acquaintance and frequent
intercourse.
"There should be established and
continuously maintained. MIR. Gary
said business friendship which
compels one t. feel the same concern
for his neighbor that he has for him
self It is no less In principle than
the Golden Rule applied TO business. Is
i, nossible? II 1t is 1t will be certain

VIGOROUS ATTACK MADE BY SEN.
AToR eRoNNA ON PRESIDENT
AND RECIPROCITY,
SAYS FARMERS ARE SACRIFICED
IN BEHALF OF RAILROADS
The Railroads, the Packers and the
Brewing Interests Held to Be Chief
Beneficiaries-Taft Charged With
Assuming Powers Of Legislative
Branch Of Government.

Washington. July Can attack on
the Canadian reciprocity bill on the
ground that it surrenders the market
of the American farmer without any
recompense, that the agreement was
usurpation of authority by the presi-
dent, and that the bill should have or
iginated in the house as a revenue
measure, was made in the senate today
by Mr.. Gronna, of North Dakota, q re-
publican insurgent.
Senator Gronna declared the farm
ers of this country were almost unan-
imous in their opposition to the reci-
prccity bill, that their Indifference was
apparent anly to those viewing the
farmers attitude with prejudiced eyes,
and that probably some of those so
busily engaged in discovering that the
farmers are Indifferent will have oc-
casion to change their opinions when
the ballots are next counted
President Exceeded Powers.
In having the bill framed and trying
to force 1t thru congress, said Gronna.
the president exceeded his constitution
al powers, a decidedly serious viola
ton. he added. because it was In &C
cordance with a pledge given to a for
eign nation.
1.-The president" he continued, has
apparently come to the conclusion that
he represents the people Of this coun-
try both as executive and Legislative
head. and that the two houses Of con-
gress are merely two bodies OF men
provided for by the constitution, which
he can unfortunately. not get rid Of
but which are to be ignored whenever
he deems it necessary or expedient."
II can not" he concluded, support
an agreement which sacrifices the in
terests of the American farmer in order
that the. Canadian farmer. the rail-
roads, the packers, and the brewing in
terestS may be benefited"

MAINE WRECKED FROM WITHIN.
General Bixby Declares Magazines Ex-
nIoded-Cause Not Known.

General 6ixoy OocIAT0S "a8A<""SS -
ploded-cause Not Known.
Washington. July 6.-The loss OF the
battleship Maine was caused by the ex-
plosion Of her three magazines. NO
such effect as that produced upon the
vessel could have been caused by an ex-
plosion from without. Such is the
opinion of Gen. William Bixby, chief or
engineers, u S. A., who has returned
from a personal inspection of the work
of raising the Maine.
General Bixby said that portion OF
the deck over the magazines was blown
upward and laid backward and that
there were numerous conditions OF the
hull as 1t lies in Havana harbor which
proved this. No explosion from the
outside, said the general, could have
caused the same result.
What the primary cause of the
explosion was" said General Bixby,
will never be learned"
General Bixby does not believe that
the bodies Of those who lost their
lives will be found on the Maine. He
says they are probably bureid 200 feet
or more. from the wreck in the mud.
General Bixby found that at least
two-thirds Of the bow was absolutely
wrecked. The sides had been practic-
ally blown away and We're buried In
the mud This, he said, showed con-
clusiyely that the wreck Of the Maine
was caused by an explosion within the
vessel
