AT OPEN AIR ALTAR.
Thousands KneeI on Site of Panama
Canal Exposition.

San Diego, Cal. July 19.-Thou-
sands of people knelt today before the
open air altar in Balboa park on the
site of the Panama canal exposition as
mass was celebrated as a prelimin-
airy to ground breaking for the expo
sition.
The first spade full of earth was
turned by President Taft's represen-
tative, John Barrett. director general
of the Pan-American union. The re-
Iigious service commemorated the
founding of the California missions by
the Franciscan fathers.
A feature was the unfurling of the
presidents flag, the American flag
and the flags of the South American
republics when President Taft pressed
a button in Washington.

COTTON SLUMP GOES ON
There Has Been a Net Loss of Over 81
Per Bale Since Saturday.

New York, July 19.-There was a con-
tinuation Of yesterdays activity and
excitement in the cotton market this
morning and a further sensational
break in prices particularly in the old
crop months. which were evidently de-
pressed by a renewal of bull liquiua-
ton.
Inside of the first half hour August
contracts sold off to 10 cents, or "a
points under the closing figures of last
night. while July broke from 1870 at
the opening to 1928 or to a net decline
of AZ points. and old crop positions at
this level showed the tremendous loss
of from 81 to $3.50 per bale from the
closing prices of last Saturday and of
from $12.75 to SLABS per bale from the
high records of the season.
The new crop positions suffered less
severely today but October and Deem
Der contracts sold off to $12.13, a net
decline of from to II points and near
Nv $3.50 ner bale below the closing fig
ures of last week. 1t seemed to be the
opinion around the ring that the Scales
interest had liquidated a very large line
of new crop contracts yesterday and
that the leading old crop bull interests
including the copper people, were heavy
sellers of the near months today.
The decline in the old crop months
was checked during the morning and
the tone appeared somewhat steadier
late in the forenoon.

BULGE IN CORN

Chicago, July 19.-WHEAT-Becaus of
weather conditions northwest tending to
spread rust, the wheat market today took
an upward turn Moreover, foreign crop
conditions were reported as less favorable
than heretofore and ocean freight rates
hardening. 1t was also said that a, fair
inquiry had developed for hard wheat to
be shipped from Chicago to eastern mills.
Opening prices were &c off to 1Ac up. Sep
TENDER started at S7szc to S8c, unchanged
to nc higher and held at the upper level
Commission selling ON the advance led
to a decline. The close was easy, at SIC
for September and a net loss of &c.
CORN-Iight receipts of corn made the
market for that cereal strong Local
spectators headed the buying. News of
further rains in Kansas appeared to have
little effect September opened at 632zc to
641sc. the same as last night to sc ad-
vance, and rose to 645sc.
Illinois rains, however, brought about
a reaction. The close was weak at 623z0
62kc, a net loss of 7s01c.
OATS-Oats bulged on account of cover
ing by shorts. An idea prevailed that the
recent decline had been excessive. Sep
TENDER started &c down to sc up, at 42Ac
to 425sc and rose to 43c.
PROFESSIONALISM offerings limited
and hogs higher. provisions were firm.
Initial sales varied from last nights fig
ures to nc higher, with January delivery
$l545 to $15.471k for pork, $S.25 for lard
and $8.0715 for ribs.

means of inter-corporate stock hold

Root of the Trust Evil.
If congress should enact that no
corporation engaged in interstate
commerce shall hereafter acquire any
stock of any other corporation so en-
gagged, and that unless all such corpor-
atoms should dispose of all stocks held
by them in other corporations engaged
in interstate commerce within some
specified period, they should be pro-
hibited from carrying On interstate
commerce until they did so dispose of
such stocks, the axe would indeed be
laid at the root of the trust evil, but
justice to innocent holders of securi-
ties issued to the public. based on
pledged stocks acquired and held pur-
suant to express legal authority, would
require consideration to be given to
their case and such exceptions to be
made from the prohibition as might
be necessary to their protection These
acts of justice might seriously inter
fere with the enactment of legislation
effective to the accomplishment of the
main purpose in view.
Business men of integrity are nat
urally DESTROYS of avoiding violations
of law. The construction of the Sher-
man law originally c-ntended for
would have condemned them for any
concerted action which imposes a re-
straint of trade.
THE more enlightened view which
has been established by the supreme
court limits the prohibition to undue
restraints-those which a-e not the
result of normal business methods, but
which are intended to accomplish, or
have for their direct and primary pur-
pose interference with the natural
course of trade and commerce among
the states or with foreign countries
Yet even within these rules there is an
area of activity where cooperation
and associations in the one have PLAY
under government supervision and
control.
with such supervision natura
economic force may be Utilized to the
public benefit and to the general salts
faction of the commercial world"

MAINE WRECK EXPOSED.
Nearly All of the Water Is Pumped

level in the Golfer dam had been low

rounded by islets of mud. small pools
and sink-holes of green, Shiny water.
The soundings show nov here a depth
in excess of four feet
The water remaining can be re-

apparent the engineers are confronted

the remains of the battl0ship are en-
pedded from a minimum Of 81 feet to

Although the water is row only two
feet lower than in previous pumping
operations the revelations with regard
to the shattered hulk have been vastly
enlarged, owing to the lateral out
spreading of the distorted frames and
plating, especially in the forward sec
ton where the explosion was greatest.
The destruction of the Dov- as far aft
as frame eighteen has been exposed,
permitting inspection. The double bot
tom is greatly elevated above its nor

firmatory evidence of a Tremendous ex-
terror explosion.
