CROPS ARE GREAT
Wheat Yield Exceeds That of
Last Year.
Corn VIII Be Above the Ten
Year Average.

Chicago, Aug 6-Phenomenally
abundant crops of wheat and cotton
and much larger yields of oats, corn,
rye, barley and hay than could have
been expected after the adverse wealth
er conditions of last spring are fore
cast in the annual crop report of the
Continental and Commercial bank is
This report carefully prepared after
exhaustive inquiry and investigation
by hundreds of experts indicates that
this seasons yield of wheat will exceed
even the exceptionally good one Of last
year by 100000 bushels, while with
80, 900, 900 more bushels of last years
harvest in store there will be available
larger supply per. capita than at any
time in recent years
The cotton crop is estimated to
reach the high aggregate of II. 100000
bales or 100000 bales more than last
year. owing to the extension of the
acreage of cotton in Texas and Okla
homa. The oats crop is expected to
exceed 1,000,00O,000 bushels, which is
above the average though it falls be
low the unprecedentedly abundant
crop of last year by AIS, 100000 bush
els.
Even the corn crop will exceed the
ten year average yield of 2,670, 600, 600
bushels in spite of the unprecedentedly
dry weather in Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Texas and portions of Mis-
souri, and Illinois. The crop this year
is estimated at 2,800, 100000 bushels
and, although this Is 30O,O0O,OOO snort
of last years unprecedented crop, the
quantity held in reserve on the farms
is said to be 400, 100000 more than
at the same time in any previous year
The hay crop this year is above the
average. 1t is the second largest on
record with a total of 66610,00O TONS
only s per cent below last years
m munificent yield
The barley crop estimated at 200,-
527,OO0 bushels is far above the aver
age and in comparison with any year
other than last year is a bumper crop.
1t is only per cent below that Of
1912.
A crop of 36,S540OO bushels of rye
is predicted which is a little in excess
of the high figures of last year.

Old Time POpulists in Evidence
at Washington.
Seek to Base Currency OF
Wheat and Corn.
AMENDMENT To GLASS BILL
VIII Be Offered in Caucu,
Next Monday.
Plan to Make Federal Reserve
Board Bi-Partisan.

Washington. Aug. 6.-Copies of the
revised draft of the Glass currency bill,
containing amendments adopted late
yesterday by Democrats of the house
currency committee, were in circulation
about the capitol today, and were the
subject of careful scrutiny by friends
and opponents of the presidents cur
rency reform plan.
An amendment adopted by the house
committee Democrats making the fed
eral reserve board to a partial extent
bipartisan by having the appointive
members divided between political par
ties, is expected to aIlay somewhat op-
position based on fear of political con-
troll of the proposed new currency
system.
Antagonists of the Glass bill expect
to direct their chief attack in next Mon
days Democratic caucus toward OBJ
tanning amendments to establish an
agricultural currency, secured by act
ual supplies of corn, wheat and cotton.
Friends of the currency measure have
urged that this proposed legislation be
obtained later and not as part of the
general currency reform plan.

United States ambassador to Germany,
with his wife and her sister, the Coun-
tess Anton Sigray, left for Hamburg

ter of the city. The rental of each is
about 5000 annually, this item alone
exceeding the ambassadors salary by

contains ample room for the embassy
offices and private quarters as we'll as
for entertaining hours
Mr. Gerard, before deciding on TAX
ing d lease on one Of the houses, will
discuss the situation with President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan.
George Won l. Meyer, former secre-
tary of the navy. who arrived last
evening and was staying in the same
hotel as the Gerards, conveyed to Mr.
Gerard his sympathy over the ambas-
sador's house hunting difficulties, tell
ing him he had been subjected to sim
liar experiences while he was ambas-
sador to Rome and in St Petersburg.

Two Lose Their Way Trying to
Find Their Beat.

Chicago. Aug. 6.-When the ten
women assigned to duty on the regular
Chicago police force began their work.
almost in each instance something ike
The women started bravely on their
beats, eager to discover any possible
crime Soon a crowd of street urchins
'Say, fellows, there comes a woman
copperi" The alarm brought specta-
tors in such numbers that the women
called out: Some one please send for
a policeman
Finally. so great was the curiosity
aroused by the women bluecoats that
plain clothes men and even uniformed
patrolmen were needed to eXtricate
the women.
The policewomen, selected because
it was thought they might be able to
detect certain crimes which male po-
licemen might overlook, were sent out
in pairs. a pair being assigned to each
of the four most popuIous districts.
and one pair to detective duty. Male
officers pointed out to them the dis
trict limits, the use of patrol boxes.
locations of doubtful saloons, and
dance halls.
Two women. Mrs. Parks and Mrs.
Nukom, assigned to the Hyde Park
station on the south side, lost their
way and turned up at the Woodlawn
station, mile distant.
In one of the crowded west side
tenement districts, such a mob pur-
in the quiet of the Maxwell street po-
lice station.
A quantity Of flowers and several
boxes of candy were sent to the Wood
land station by friends of the women
assigned there
Arrangements were made for the
women to visit the detective bureau
at roll call and to be introduced to the
detectives.
II want my men to know all these
women" said Captain Halpin, chief of
detectives. Then when they are
about the office they may be able to
lend a hand in a hurry when it is
needed"
None of the women attempted to
make an arrest.

Eight Married Men Have Been
Temporarily Passed.
These Are the Fathers of %
Children.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-Maury I.
Diggs, the young Sacramento architect
whose elopement to Reno, New, with
Miss Marsha Warrington in company
with Drew Caminetti and Lola Norris,
precipitated a nation wide scandal, sat
behind his attorneys in the United
States district court today in his usual
faultless attire. Facing him when
court opened were the IL jurymen
of the defense's 10 peremptory chal-
lenges had been exercised.
Drew Caminetti also sat with Diggs
among the attorneys which are con-
Quoting their defense.
Among the scores of spectators yes
terday there were only three women.
1t developed after a deputy marshal
had called loudly through the corri-
dors for ''B. L. Donaldson" and IN.
J. Abbott that the two missing ve-
niremen were women.
TT is just as WELL" said Judge Van
Fleet mo women would be ac-
cepted as jurymen in this court"
1t was rumored in court today that
the wives whom Diggs a-d Caminetti
deserted on their trip to Reno would
sit beside their husbands when the
taking of testimony begins.
Attorneys for both sides inquired
particularly into the family life of the
veniremen yesterday, the unfailing
questions being Are you married.
How many children have you2"
How old are they?" and Are they
boys or girls?''
The eight married men temporarily

Present Heat Wave Is Worst of

Tuesday Afternoon.
FAIR WEATHER PREDICTION
The Weather Man Can See No
Relief in Sight.
Hot Winds in Western Part of
the State.

Heat records in Kansas are being
broken thick and fast Tuesday was
the hottest day of the year Maxi
mum temperatures at government sta
tions in the state ranged from 100 TO
los degrees. At Topeka the maxi
mum temperature was 105 degrees, or
to be exact 104.S degrees. which tied
the previous high mark for August
recorded on both August s, 1896, an
August / 1897. Furthermore. Tues
day night was the hottest night of
the season at Topeka and today has
broken the heat record for August 8.
The wind died down early this
morning until there was scarcely
breath of air stirring. which tended
to make conditions all the more un-
bearable. At midnight the barometer
began to rise slowly. It has continued
slowly in its upward course today
This may be an indication that the
worst of the hot weather is over, al
though the forecast does not give en-
coura cement Generally fair weather
IS the prediction The minimum tenn
perature for the last twenty-four
hours was 7S at $50 this morning.
The mercury stood at the SO degree
mark at seven o'clock Tuesday even-
ing
4 typical Kansas hot wind blew on
Tuesday west OF Topeka, but here the
iwnd velocity was between - and 5
miles an hour, not sufficient to be
termed a hot wind" But at that
along Kansas avenue the air that OleW
against ones face was like blast from
the Sahara. The hot wind did much
damage to the corn in the central and
western portions of the state. Accord
ing to the local weather man it is a
marvel that the corn in Kansas has
stood the Scorching heat as well as has
been the case
It did not take much to eclipse the
heat record for this date for it was
but 80 degrees. At 9 o'clock this
morning the thermometer reading was
IS degrees as against 80 degrees on
Tuesday at the same hour.
The Kaw river is one inch lower
than on Tuesday, the stage being 3.5
feet Reports from over the state
show that small streams are gradually |
becoming mere chains of pools y re-
port from Ottawa states that the stage
of the Marais des Cygnes river is but /
three-tenths of a foot, which is said /
to be the lowest in forty years.
a dispatch from Clay Center stated I
that the maximum temperature at that /
point on Tuesday was ia degrees. At 3

this morning:
Wind Shifted to the North.

The heat record for August was
broken between Il and l O'Clock today
when the mercury passed the SO de-
gree mark The previous high mark
was SO degrees, recorded August s,
1907.
At $50 O'Clock this morning the
wind shifted. The direction for a
short time was northwest, and at ,
o'clock this afternoon a six mile breeze
was blowing from the north This had
the tendency to hold down the tenn
perature slightly. The thermometer
reading at O'Clock was 9S degrees as
against 102 degrees at the same hour
on Tuesday. The century mark will
probably be reached before the close
OF the day Conditions will probably
be little more conducive to sleep to-
night than was the case Tuesday
night, but Thursday the temperature
is expected TO be about the same as
today.
"A statement covering the weather
conditions in Kansas in the months of
June and July that will be issued by
the local weather bureau tonight will
show that the record for dry weather
has been broken in Kansas The av-
erage rainfall in Kansas in June was
2-41 inches and in July 1-31 inches, max
ing d total of 3-T2 inches. For the
period the deficiency is 4.37 inches.
The month of July in itself was the
dr1eSt July on record in the state
with the exception of July, 1880. The
month had more sunshine than any
previous July, the report will state
The record for high temperature was
tied when on July l 8 the thermometer
at Farnsworth in Lane county regis
tered 116 degrees This is also the
record for the territory lying east OF
the Rocky mountains. There was no
rainfall at all at Clay Center. The
entire northern portion of the state
suffered to a marked extent through
drouth and there was a deficiency in
the southern half.
