fessor Marchiafava visited the pope

day ratified the decisions Of the con-
sistorial congregations presented by

CREATES STIR IN TESTIMONY
BEFORE STEEL TRUST IN.
vEsTicA1iNo COMMITTEES.
BRANDS As FALSE STORY
BANKS WERE TO De RUINED
Panic Of 1907 Not inspired by Big
eusinsss-says Corporations Can
Not Exist Under Present Conditions
Cites Dissolution Of Standard Oil
as Proof.

Washington, Aug. 10-George w.
Perkins, director Of the United States
Steel Corporation, testifying before the
house steel trust investigating commit
tee today, created a stir when he
jumped to his feet and branded as
false charge that the panic Of 1907
had been started to ruin certain banks.
Representative Bartlett asked Mr..
Perkins whether such was not the case.
and the New York financier was on his
feet in second, saying:
Such a charge Is absolutely false.
There is not bit of truth in it."
The government separation Of the
Standard Oil Company in thirtythr
parts, Mr. Perkins declared, was GER
tainly warning to corporations. He
suggested that something should be
done to relieve the present condition
under which corporations could not
continue to exist.

year, when there was practical fail
ure OF the North Dakota crop.
The hay crop was hit about as bad
by the lack OF the usual rains as the
cereals, the August promise being for
q crop of about 100000 tons, against
final Yield last year Of nearly 61.-
100000 a drop Of 100000 tons.
Rye and barley were also hard hit
the indicated yield Of rye being 30,
$4,000 bushels; against 33,039,000
bushels last year. and Of barley, 13s.-
100000 bushels. against 162,o00,000
bushels in 1910.
BY far the greatest damage during
the month was inflicted on the corn
crop Of the big surplus states Of the
middle west and in the southwest. The
enormous losses are indicated by the
big declines in condition from July /.
On that date Iowa was given condi-
tion OF 50; on Aug. it was Sc, g dron
of thirty points. indicating nearly a
third smaller crop. Kansas dropped
from 81 to "a; Missouri from 7s to 81 Z;
Illinois from SO to "A; Nebraska from
50 to 81; Oklahoma from 40 to 80, and
Indiana from 81 to 80; Ohio, 80 to 80 i;
Michigan, 81 to 81. These are the states
in which the great bulk Of the crop is
raised. In the southern states, where
the acreage is smaller, the crop show
ing was better.
The average condition of the crop
was placed at 69.6, compared to SOL a
month ago and 1913 year ago. Even
allowing for an increase Of nearly e.
100000 acres in the total area this year
h1 S, oh
bushels short Of the record crop of last
year.
In all the states where the losses
were heavy the early season deficiency
in moisture was a big factor. Follow
ing the shortage in rainfall during the
fore part Of the growing season, the
continued drouth and hot winds caused
immense damage.

President Brown.
Chica go, Aug 10.-The strike Of boil
ermakers, machinists and carmen en-
ployed by western railroads will not
, materialize right away. according to a
report given out yesterday afternoon by
leaders Of the unions now in confer
ence in Chicago.
1t was said that a truce had been
declared for the time being pending
the return from Europe Of w. G.
Brown, president Of the New York Cen
trail lines. Mr.. Brown is said 10 be
the choice Of the union leaders for
arbiter and as he Is at present motor
ing abroad. nothing can be done until
he returns to America.
According to information obtained at
! the local offices OF the New York Gen.
trial.. Mr.. Browns original intention
was not to return from Europe until
the middle OF October. but on account
Of the threatened tieup OF the railroads
he has altered his plans and now is
expected to reach New York about
Sept Is.
julius Kruttschnitt. vice president Of
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
! cific, Hartman lines. declared yester-
day that nothing new had transpired.
He said he knew Representatives Of the
employees Of the various roads were in
conference In Chicago, but had not been
appraised OF any action that might
have been taken during the meeting Of
the men yesterday.
Judge Lovett, president of the HART
man roads, according to dispatch
from New York, refused to discuss the
demands made by the men for in
creased wages and shorter hours. 1t
was said in the same dispatch that Of
ficials Of other western roads would
not express any opinion in the matter
until the situation took more definite
form.
Boiler-makers. machinists and car
men employed on the western division
Of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad at Kansas City were reported
yesterday to be prepared to go on
strike.
The reported selection Of Mr.. Brown
as arbiter. however. 1t Is believed, will
have a tendency to defer any strike
action. and the men are expected to
continue working as in the past until
after Mr.. Brown has had time to study
the situation and meet with officers Of
other lines.

HUGE CROP LOSSES IN MONTH.
July Bad Month For cereaIs-coru
Espociallv Hard Hit.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The greatest
decline in the condition Of crops dur
ing single month since 19O1-a gen.
eral slump thruout the country, due to
drouth and intense heats indicated
in tho government crop report for
August It was published by the de-
partment Of agriculture yesterday.
The report presents estimates Of the
damage done to all crops during July.
1t is the most discouraging as to gen
eral conditions that the department
has issued for any single month in a
decade It indicates yield per acre
smaller than in any year during the
ten year period
At the same time. 1t estimates the
total production will be exceeded in
only Ave years in the history of the
country.
An analysis Of the report and COM
paris6ns with those Of previous years
show that there probably never has
been a month in the history Of crop re-
porting when the losses during any one
month in all crops have been as great
as during July. Until the latter part
Of the month the drouth over the great
part Of the corn belt was unbroken,
while intense heat added greatly to
the damage.
The promise Of the corn crop Is cut
down 335,0o0.000 bushels, according to
the report. The estimated crop on
Aug. was 2.620.221,400 bushels. This
compares with a promise on July 1 Of
2,956,00o,oo0 bushels and a final yield
last year Of s,125.s6s.0oo bushels.
TIE spring wheat yield is brought
down from 100000 bushels to an
indicated crop Of only 209,575. 900 BUSH
els. There was serious loss in con-
dition Of the oats crop. the suggested
yield being s1S.0oo,oo0 bushels. or
30s,000,0o0 bushels less than the big
crop Of last year.
In addition TO the damage from heat
and drought the northwestern spring
wheat country suffered from black rust
and blight The condition Of the spring
wheat crop was placed at 59.s compar-
ed with 73s . month ago and 81 last
