NEW WORKERS BRING
A|DFOR LABORATORY
Pure Milk Crusaders Add
Impetus to Fight for
Straus Plant.

Added to the approval which Secre-
tary of the Treasury MacVeagh mas
given the GalIinger bill, providing Tor
the appropriation of $4,000 to maintain
the Straus milk laboratory, in Washing
ton, is the impetus given to public sent-
ment favoring this plan by the visit Oh
a delegation from New York represent
ing the International Pure Milk League.
The minor changes to be made in the
bill by Secretary MacVeagh before it Is
returned to the Senate sill not alter the
real intention of the measure. The re-
vision will provide that the milk must
be dispensed to the poor and the chart-
table organizations at the actual cost to
the laboratory for purchase and pasteur-
ization. This change is made necessary
to avoid having the Federal Government
assume the appearance Of a philanthro-
pist.
Considerable influence was brought to
bear on Representatives and prominent
Washington residents on the subject Of
pure milk by the women and the attor-
ney who came to this city from New
York in the interests of the Inter
national Pure Milk League. They point
ed out that when New York city was
confronted by this same situation-when
Mr.. Strauss said he would discontinue
the milk service If the city did not ac-
cept the plant free of cost and operate
it as a municipal affair-the council re-
sponded by appropriating $4,000 for the
maintenance of fifteen new milk depots
on consideration that Mr.. Strauss would
continue to operate those which he had
established. Mr.. Straus agreed, and
now New York has thirty-two pure milk
stations.
Jersey City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and
st. Louis have taken over the plants
and depots which Mr.. Straus originally
established in those cities.

Loss of $150 by Fire

Spontaneous combustion is supposed to

COURT WILL HEAR
AZCONA CHARGES
Mexico to Present Evidence
Before District Supreme
Tribunal.

The Mexican government will be given
an opportunity tomorrow to present evil
dence in support of it's demand for the
extradition Of Juan Sanchez-Azcona, a
political refugee, who will be brought
into the District Supreme Court after
spending fifty days in Jail upon the tele-
graphic orders of the Diaz regime.
Azcona faces what has been termed
the technical charge Of false pre-
lenses" The attorneys for the Mexican
prisoner propose to show that in reality
he Is wanted as a political refugee.
If this latter fact develops during the
hearing before Mr.. Justice Clabaugh,
Representative William B. Wilson Of
pennsylvania is ready to introduce in
the House a resolution demanding a
Congressional investigation, not only Of
the imprisonment of Azcona, but of
dozens of other Mexicans who fed to
this country, and who have been de-
tanned in various prisons upon COM
plants from Mexico.
Mr.. Wilson has been studying for
several months the persecution methods
alleged to have been employed by the
Mexican government. He has in his
that in dozens of instances political
refugees have been arrested and held
in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico. and
other States. The charges, it is de-
Clared, were of a trumped-up nature,
and, in some cases, no charges what
ever were preferred by the DiaZ govern
ment, although the unfortunate refugee
might have been detained for forty
days, under the treaty agreement, then
rearrested and detained another forty
DAYS.
The object of Mr.. Wilson's resolution
will be to ascertain the number of such
and whether or not the
department of State and the Depart
ment of Justice have been improperly
used by Mexico in furthering unwar-
ranted espionage and persecution of
men who have disagreed politically with
President DiaZ.

Bryan Wants Progressive
Elected to Presidency

William Jennings Bryan has begun a
fight to insure the nomination of pro-
gressive Democrat for the Presidency in
1912. Mr.. Bryan himself will not be a
candidate for the Presidency, it Is an
nounced. Friends Of Mr.. Bryan in Bal
timore who attended the harmony ban
quet there recently were quietly in
formed of his renewed activity in party
affairs.
Charles W. Bryan, publisher of the
Commoner, and brother of William Jen-

or two close friends Of Colonel Bryan,
in each State, urging the old Bryan fol-
lowing and the progressive Democats

BONDS.
THE T MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 3-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
5dS points in response to lower Liver
pool cables than expected, and as a re-
suit of scattered local selling which
may have been partly inspired by pri-
vate wires reporting showers at five or
six points in Texas. with cloudy
weather in several sections, Private
cables from Liverpool indicated that
the market had been unsettled there by
an ~unfavorable political situation in
Morocco, but prominent brokers were
buyers on the decline here, and after
showing a net loss of about sG1F points.
with old crop months leading the de-
cline on a renewal of model ate July
liquidation. prices steadied 3 or 4
points from the lowest covering. with
nothing IN the character of the busi-
ness to suggest any change of senti-
ment with reference to h showing or
probable effect of the governments
condition report expected at midday.
The market was very quiet late in the
forenoon, with prices easing of iight-
w under scattered realizing and the
forecast for unsettled weather in the
Western belt and showers in Southern
Texas. Shortly before the government
report was issued the market showed
a net loss of from 8 to IS points, but
at this level there was bull support
and Immediately following h publ
cation of the government condition,
figures showing $50 per cent, which
was no better If not a shade worse than
expected, the market firmed up on
covering, advancing some Is to 10 points
from the low level of the morning and
to a net gain OF from 9 to II points
on the new crop months. New Orleans
was a seller on this Improvement and
there was considerable local pressure,
as a result of which prices reacted 2
or 4 points from the best after the
first rush of covering had subsidized.

MARKET CLOSES
STEADY, PRICES
SCARCELY MOVE
Final Prices Show Losses
for Leaders in the
List.

NEW YORK, July S.-Prices fell off
abruptly in the opening transactions in
stocks today. Lehigh Valley, which
was affected by. the adverse decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in the coal rate case, declined rs.
Losses of IA were sustained by Great
Northern preferred. Canadian Pacific.
and General Electric. Union Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Atchison, Reading,
Chesapeake and Ohio, Minneapolis, St
Paul and Sault Ste Marie. and Anal
gamated Copper receded a point each.
and almost all of the other active
shares lost large fractions.
IL a. m.-Canadian Pacific exhibited
further weakness, touching 239, ana
then rallied a point. The rest of the
list was sluggish, but made but little
progress. Crop news seemed to be
about the only influence affecting the
market, the blistering heat in the grain
regions raising fresh misgivings.
Pressed Steel Car advanced a point.
Noon.-Except from the Erie issues,
which received stanch support. the
market was weak during the forenoon.
The decline in London gave a heavy
tone to the opening which the market
seemed to be unable TO throw off. The
intense heat and the approach of a
holiday kept away operators and trad
ing was dull after the first few min
utes. Reports of further damage to
crops from the heat and the decision
against the Lehigh Valley in the coal
rate case exercised a depressing effect.
Declines were extended late in the
forenoon. Losses ran between l and
2 points for most Of the representative
stocks, with the Hill and Hartman
issues weakest. Bonds were easier.
l p. m.-7The government report on
cotton failed to influence stocks, al
though the condition of the crop was
declared to be better than a week ago.
Upon the completion Of the London
selling. which amounted to 10000
shares, prices hardened a slight frae-
ton, but the demand was largely from
the short interest.
2 D. m.--Dullness was the chief char
acteristic of the afternoon market.
Traders were not inclined to take on
stocks over the holiday and the shorts
preferred to stand their ground in
view of the uniformly bad crop re-
ports.
8 D.. m.-The market closed steady.
Prices scarcely moved as the session
drew to a close. Final figures showed
losses for the usual market leaders Of

STOCKHOLDERS LOSE $4,000.

NEW YORK, July civilian L.
Clayton, insurance commissioner of
Colorado, uses the absorption of the
Colorado National Life by the Column
bian National OF Boston as the basis
for some comment IN the difficulty of
starting a new life company. He states
that the company began business in
1905 and that $500. 900 was paid in by
the stockholders-s250 900 for capital
and $50, 1000 for surplus. This amount
was raised without promotion expense.
Subsequently the surplus was so de-
pieted that the capital was reduced to
500. 900 and the $3.50, 900 thus released
was placed to the credit of surplus. It's
last annual statement showed that the
stockholders had lost $50, 900 on the
original Investment and the fact that
no dividends had been declared. in
duced the stockholders to dispose of
their holdings.
