Predicts Cabinet Break,

WASHINGTON, July 10.-The frs!
break in the cabinet of President VII
son may come in the fall with the re
tirement Of James G.. McReynolds Of
New York and Tennessee from the Of
tice Of attorney general.
1t has been persistently reported for
some time that The president and Mr.
McReynOlds would split, and now the
date of the latter'S resignation is said
to be fixed at September 4
Mr.. McReynolds insists it is hi
purpose to stay on the job, and the
White House asserts it has no know!
edge of his intention to resign Nev-
ertheless, those in a position to know
predict that there will be new attor-
ney general in less than two months
time.
The Caminetti case. in which Nc
Reynolds directed a delay in the tria
al the instance of Secretary of Labo.
Wilson for the benefit Of the latter's
commissioner general of immigration
is especially embarrassing to the ad-
ministration.
The president upheld Mr.. McRey-
nolds in his action, but it is known
he made it clear he does not want any
repetition of the incident. and here
after there must be exceedingly gooC
grounds before the attorney genera
will issue instructions to postpone any
trial.
But Mr.. McReynolds displayed alto
gether too much haste in the view Of
the administration in his advocacy o.
the progressive tax amendment. which
ne proposed for the purpose of put
| ting The tobacco trust out Of busi-
ness. AS a result Of the president
declaration that he did not approya
the plan, it was rejected by the Demo
cratic caucus.

half bales to the acre or little better
! than vast year. This, with the doub-
led acreage. discounted on the other
hand by probable slim yields on newly
broken land. means without a shadow
If doubt that the bale total will be
double that o. last year"

Platt hut we had no idea of the total
until we saw the land scape dotted

We're starving creatures on their ar

Regarding the cantalOupe crop, Plat
stated that it was moved at the rate

| There We're a number of incidents
which operated to prevent the quick
action for which the fire fighters of
the town are noted. The house is IN
a new section where the city water
system is not yet up to high standard
and it was a long distance to a fire
plug. As the new fire truck has not

the equipment in place by the old pro-

the alarm bell.
| For some reason the pumps were not
set III action as quickly as usual, and
even after the hose was in place, there
twas quite a period before the pressure
was brought up to standard.
| The fire was first seen by the neigh
hors in the gable, and it is thought
defective wiring must have caused the
fire, which spread rapidly, and the
building was soon doomed.

The ladies generally are sympathiz-

she had been collecting valuable spec

these, with all the other little articles

gas supply of the city for four hours

the accommodation of Dr. Cram. whose
house was in section not yet having
its own main. A month ago General
Manager c. Z. Paris of the gas com
Ipany had had a man assigned to take
care Of the gas pipes in case of fire
and this man, who is an experienced
gas worker, thought no one would BE-

owing to the difficulty of handling the
equipment on hot days, the firemen
have felt that they could not do their
best work without the truck, and they
