ST. Peters Church Further Beautified
by McCurdy Gift
A beautiful new window. memorial
to Sarah Ellen McCurdy, has been
placed in the chapel of St Peters
church. 1t is the work of James
Powell & Sons, of the Whitefriars
Glass Works, London The new
window differs entirely in treatment
and design from the Morgan and
Miller windows, that have attracted
SO much attention, and forms part of
scheme of windows which Mr..
Powell has suggested for the chapel
and which are to depict subjects
from the Gospels of the Infancy.
The present window has been called
the Annunciation window. The cen
trail figure represents ST. Mary the
Virgin and is fianked by side panels
representing the Annunciation and
the saiutation Of st, Mary and St.
Elizabeth. Through the upper half
Of the three panels runs the initial
verse of the Magnificat my soul
doth magnify tns Lord, and my spirit
hath reioiced in God my Saviour"
borne in the hands of angels.
In the t1acery lights are two figure
of angels and the figures of Rebekah
and Sarah. Mr. Powell proposes to
have the figures of representative
women of the old testament run
through the tracery lights of the
chapel.
In the pridella of the new window
is "reminiscences of a well-known
painting in which the figure of the
Christ child is represented with wide
outstretched arms. The color scheme
is the same which Mr.. Powell has
adopted in the other windows in place
in the church.

IN THE SENATE.
All Amendments to Reciprocity Bill
Are Voted Down.

Washington, July 10-The Canadian
reciprocity bill emerged unscathed to-
night from the most serious ordeal it
has yet experienced in the Senate. The
series of amendments offered by Cum
minis, Iowa, and the two offered by Sim
mons, n. c., all seeking to increase the
number of Canadian manufactured arti-
Giles which shall be admitted to the Unit
ed States free of duty, were voted down
by large majorities.
The vote in favor of the amendments
was so small that Cummins asked for
only five roll calls, although he had an
nouneed his intention of asking for at
least 10. The MAXIMUM vote for his tariff
amendments was IA. compared with a
maximum vote of SO against them. The
defeat of the amendments clears the sit
uation in the Senate and leaves the reci-
procity bill much nearer final passage.
Bailey offered an amendment today to
the House wooden tariff bill imposing a
duty of % per cent. on raw wool. He
will ask consideration of this amendment

the drought during June, most of the
important crops showing a condition

low that of last year and below re-
cent average yields of production.
Feed stuff-oatS and hay-Seems to

thirds of a normal crop of hay is ex-
pected and the oats crop probably will
be more than % per cent less than
last years crop, and about II per cent
less than the average for the last five
years.
THE corn acreage is the largest
ever recorded, but the condition of the
crop is about per cent. below the
average. That indicates production
of approximately five per cent. less
than last years crop, Eut nearly 5 per
cent. more than the average produc-

of the investigation begun "a hours
ago. Meantime Cummings is under

trate tomorrow and to shed further
light upon the part he says he took in

room.
The detectives who face charges are
the three men. who according to Cum
mings, were in Miss Grahams apart
ment two days after the shooting of
Stokes. when Cummings says he found
the letters. The charges will be neglect
of duty. failure to make proper re-
port concerning the finding of the let

in the room when they We're in charge.
Deputy Police Commissioners Dillon SO
announced today. and added that the
charges would be made at onee. He
said he had not decided whether he

Cummings.
Miss Graham and her chum. Miss
Ethel Conrad, whose preliminary ex-
animation on charge of attempting
to kill Stokes is to be continued to-
