COTTON REVIEW OF
 COMMERCIAL APPEAL

Memphis, June 1S-The Commercial Ap- pears cotton report review tomorrow will say
 The cotton crop has made nearly nor nal progress since May 25, the date of our last report. In the two Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama there has been a distinct improvement owing to timely rains. Tn the Mississippi valley and west ern states the rainfall has been local, when rain has fallen at all and many To- calities are suffering from a five to eight weeks drouth. Up to the time of these reports the plant has not suffered, but correspondents are fearful of another week of dry, hot weather.
 Fields are universally clean and 1t has been many years since the entire crop was in state of such excellent culti- vation. A rain is all that is needed to make prospects the most brilliant within recent years.
 Owing to drouth the plant growth has not been so rapid as is usual for the sea- son. and in a few instances the seed was very slow to germinate so that some of the cotton is still quite small. The plant. however, is healthy and the extreme heat has prevailed in all sections appears to have the boil weevil in check. All cor respondents in the infested territory note that weevils are not much in evidence.
 The drouth appears most severe in Mis- sissippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and north ern and western Texas.

CAVE-|NOF BULL
 PEN NK|LLSF0UR

Waynesville, N. c. June 18.-Four convicts were killed, 12 seriously in- jured and four convicts and three guards slightly injured today in the col lapse of bull pen near Waterville, N. C., in the heart of the Smokies, the on- ly remaining mountain pass to the east. The convicts were all negroes and were being worked in connection with the Iconstruction of the rans-Continental.
 Capt J. E. Hoskins of Raleigh, who was in charge of the prisoners, went down with the pen and had to be dug from the debris, suffering painful in- juries Guards J. E. Nichols and Ed McKerney were slightly injured.
 The bull pen was built entirely of heavy logs and the weight of the roof caused it to collapse. The structure slid down the mountainside without warn ing for 65 feet A special train was sent from Newport. Tenn, with physi- clans and nurses and collins for the scene. The injured were taken to New port under guard and the dead will be sent to Raleigh where the state peni- tertiary is located.
 The fact that every convict was bur deI ed with ball and chain rendered the victims helpless and is responsible for the great number of injured.

TRUST BUSTING"
 VERY EXPENSIVE

Washington, June 1S-"Trust busting" cost the government $S45,1S4 in disburse- ments to special assistants to the attor- ney general and to district attorneys be- tween March 5, 1909 and May 31, 1911, ac- cording to report which the department of justice has transmitted to Chairman Beall, of the House committee on expen- ditures in that department.
 The largest individual disbursement was to Henry L. Stimson, at present secre- tary of war, who received $S3,320 for his services in the sugar fraud prosecution
 Two items of expenditure which have attracted the attention of Chairman BealI are $13,O0O to A. A. Birney and $10,200 tc Morgan H. Beach in land condemnation leases in the District of Columbia.
 We are going to look into all these condemnation cases and learn if there is reason for fees such as are shown," said Mir Beall.

DEMAND zAPATA
 l BE DISCHARGED

Mexico City, June 1S.-Unless Emil ano Zapata is busted as commander-in. chief of the revolutionary troops in the state of Morelos there will be no "solid south" at the time of the presidential election in October, declared residents of that state in mass meeting here to- day
 Tomorrow a committee named at the meeting will render to Francisco I. Ma dero a formal protest of the Moreloans and reduest the former leader of the insurrectos to name Zapata's successor. Should he refuse to do this it was agreed that all those at the meeting would make a systematic fight against his candidacy and a few of the more beNigerent went so far as to suggest armed resistance.
 That Madero will be able to placate the residents of the state who feel themselves insulted by the appointment of Zapata is reasonably certain. He is said to have chosen this warrior of doubtful reputation because not all the scattered bands were amenable to the orders of Asunsuolo or Miranda, the other revolutionary leaders, but the most part are obedient to Zapata. These facts taken in connection with the fact that there will be no necessity for a comman der -inr rchief of revolutionary troops once the mastering out is con cluded, is said to have caused Madero to name him for the post. It is ex- pocted that this explanation will be made by him to the committee tomor- row and that the incident will be for gotten before the end of the week.
 Madero believes almost all the revo- hitionary troops in Morelos will be paid off and sent to their homes in less than week, when the necessity for having a commander at all will cease.
 Those at the mass meeting today in- ciuded professional men, business men and retired men of means, who are makAg the national capital their tenn porary home. By them Zapata was open ly branded as a bandit. Many fiery speeches were made and Madero was frankly criticized for his selection. By resolution 1t was decided to make the removal of Zapata the price of their support.

LIGHTNING PLAYS
 HAVOC AT ENSLEY Lights Put Out for Four Hours and a Negro
 House Struck

During the severe electrical storm which visited the district today light ming struck the chimney of house in the negro quarters near the furnace oc- cupid by James Smith. The upper part of the chimney was destroyed and the lightning passed through the chimney, destroying the fireplace and partition which divided the house, the woodwork being very badly split and shattered. There were four or five negroes in the house at the time of the occurrence, who, though badly scared, were not injured
 Lightning also struck the electrical wiring and the town was in darkness from 7:3O until 1130, all the arc and incandescent- lights being put out of commission. The gas lights on the Great White Way and in a number of stores helped very much during the pe- riod of darkness.
