Des Moines, July 1S.-The weather

July Is. indicates that with cooler
weather and light to copious showers
III nearly all parts Of the state on one
or more days, corn is still holding it's
own. Scattered showers occurred on
the 9th, 10th. 10Th and 18th, but the
amounts of rainfall were generally too
small to be of material or lasting bene-
fit, and not sufficient to enable the crop
to withstand the effects of another hot
wave without serious injury. Reports
indicate that early corn in the tassel-
| ing and caring stage has already suf-
fered considerable damage, especially
| in southern and central districts, and
| the crop as a whole is at very crit
ical stage.
Grasshoppers are numerous and are
| injuring uncut grain. corn and clover
! in many localities. The bulk of the
small grain harvest has been COM
pleted in the southern and central sec

| coming week. Shock thrashing has be-
gun. Pastures, gardens and potatoes
! continue to deteriorate. Early potatoes
are a failure and the late varieties are

in the story of the murder Of the
Greek interpreter, Chris Pappas, are
slowly but surely being written. How
long it is going to take to know the
whole plot is very much of a question
and how much there is to it is more of
a question. In the county Jail Nick
Georgacopalus now rests. He is known
in the cement district quarters as mo.
g." He is a man about As years Of age
and those who know him say that back
in Greece, before coming to this coun-
try, he was postmaster. For several
hours Monday forenoon he was put
thru sweat The officers are at great
disadvantage because of the fact that
Georgacopalus can not understand
English, and the officers have found II
almost impossible to get dependable
Interpreters. Three of these were used
today and out Of the whole the officers
secured enough so that they decided to
hold Georgacopalus until he can be
given a second and possibly third IN
vestigation.
From every indication the man now
being held wrote the letter now in the
possession of the sheriff. He wrote 1t to
a friend living in st. Louis and TINS
friend showed it to a friend OF Mrs.
Pappas, the widow Of the murdered
man. This led to the investigation. II
would seem that If Georgacopulas
wrote the letter he knows all about the
murder, what is was done for. ana all
about it. Officers are still of the opln-
ion that the actual deed was COM
mitted by Georag Kokoles, who up to
this time has evaded arrest. 1t is also
reported that Kokoles will never show
up in his Greecian home from the tact
that he is wanted as badly there as he
now is in this country, for serious
crime. Some Of the men who are now
at work on this case are of the opinion
that the man who murdered Pappas was
paid for his work and the report is
that $500 was offered for his taking
away. Certain it is that very peculiar
condition exists in the Greek settle
ments of this city. Sunday when the
sheriff and his deputies wanted SO
much the assistance of the Greeks in
making the arrest of Georgacopulas,
they wouldn't assist in any way and
would do all in their power to throw
the officers fftheir guard. One of the
men, who is supposed to be in the en-
ploy of the Northwestern Portland &C.
ment Company, to look after affairs OF
this kind, would not give assistance
until the sheriff informed him that I'M
less he produced the man he would
himself be taken into custody. Twenty
minutes later the man was produced
In this investigation it looks as if the
sheriff and his assistants were going
to unearth condition that will even
be a surprise to theem.

AUTOS TO SCRAP HEAP.
Ten Thousand Iowa Cars RELOCATED to
Iron Yards This Year.

Des Moines, July 1S.-In the opinion
of the attaches of the secretary of
states office. 10000 motor cars hereto
fore licensed in this state have been
put out Of commission or relegated to
the scrap heap.
Up to July when the new auto law
requiring the re-registration Of motor
cars went into effect, over $4,000 Ii
censes had been issued
Thus for the secretary of state has
issued about $4,000 licenses under the
new law and IT is not anticipated that
the total registrations will run much
over 10000.
There are a lot OF motor car own
ers who have not even made applica-
ton for new number IS yet" said
Deputy Secretary of state John Ja,ni-
son, yesterday" and there are lot
more who will not have their cars re-
numbered. The machines are either too
old to pay out the license money on
them. else they need lot OF repairs
ard the owner does not think them
worth the price. I expect that 10000
cars heretofore registered in this cc-
flee will not be registered under the
new law"
