SCENE TO SHIFT
Mexican Negotiations to Be
Transferred to Washington.
Special Representative of Huer-
ia Sails From Vera Cruz.

Washington, Sept. EMANUEL De
Zamacona, former Mexican ambassa-
dor to the United States and until re-
Gently financial agent for the Mexican
government in London, will endeavor
to carry forward in Washington the
negotiations between the Huerta ad-
ministration and the United States for
a solution of the revolutionary prob
lem.
Senor Zamacona comes primarily to
continue the negotiations begun with
John Lind, but his ultimate object is to
obtain for the Mexican government the
loan which the United States declared
in it's second note it would encourage
American bankers to float If the
Huerta government accepted the chief
American proposals.
The administration here was sounded
as to the mission of Senior Zamacona
and had not yet given its answer when
the latter started from Vera Cruz yes
terday. There seemed to be little
doubt today in official circles that the
Washington administration would re-
ceive Zamacona under certain condi-
tions, as he Is well known here and
regarded as one of the ablest of Mex

ClOudburst Over New York
City Bringing a Flood.
Over Three Inches of Rain Fell
in Three Hours.
NOT AWHEEL MOVES IN SUBWAY
More Than Nine Miles of Track
age Out of Commission.
Guests Are Driven From Their
Rooms in Hotels.

New York. Sept. 5.-Not a wheel
moved in the New York subway be-
tween 96th street in upper Manhattan
and the Brooklyn terminal during the
rush hour of the work-bound crowds
this morning, resulting in one OF the
worst congestions in traffic the city has
known. over three inches of rainfall
during the night flooded the subway
tracks to a depth of three feet or more
and nine miles of four tracked subway
were put entirely out of commission.
A midnight downpour of 3.31 inches
of water caused extraordinary damage
The deluge was the worst in ten years.
according to the weather bureau, and
in it's three hours duration 1t often
gained the proportions of a cloudburst.
Streams were turned into rivers,
some of them two to four feet deep,
the water pouring in great quantities
into thousands of cellars, driving base
ment dwellers from their homes.
The roofs of two large Broad
way hotels sprung leaks; torrents of
water which had been held back by
choked leaders went down through
bedrooms and halls, driving guests
from their rooms and doing serious
damage to decorations and tapestries.
Elevators were put out of commission
IN several hotels and guests had to
climb many flights of stairs. At two
large broadway houses guests were
obliged to go to bed by candle light.
Surface cars were put out of COM
mission all over the city for a time by
the torrents of water which poured into
the underground trolley conduit caus-
ing short circuit
1t was O'Clock before the subway
was cleared and the the congestion
prevented anything like normal condi-
tions. The Interborough company load
ed f1atcars with electric pumps capable
of discharging $50 gallons a minute
and sucked the rain water out the tube
as fast as it's men could work. At
several central stations the baffied
subway users stormed the elevated
trains in such numbers that police re-
serves were called out to make them
keep in line and take their turns.
Fifty fire chiefs here attending their
international convention were in an
express train stalled at the Columbus
circle station of the subway early to-
day. All helped the subway guards
escort passengers on this train and 9TH
ers stalled behind it over the third rail
and up to the station platform.

GOOD COAL YEAR
Kansas Produced More Than
$11,OOO,OOO i'm 1912.
United States Makes GeOIOgi-
cal Survey of State.

Washington. Sept. 5.-The produc-
ton of coal in Kansas in 1912 increased
from 6,178.72S short tons, valued at So
472.572, in 1911. to 6-9S61S2 tons, valued
at S11.324,1 ,130. according to figures COM
piled by E. w. Parker, of the United
The gain amounted to 13 per cent in
quantity. and 1875 per cent in value
The average price per ton advanced
from 1.50 to 81. g. The increased pro-
duction in Kansas, as in the other
southwestern states in 1912, may be at
tributed to the diminished supply of
fuel oil and natural gas from the Mid
Continent field. These fuels, especially
fuel oil Con account largely of the in
creased demand for gasoline), have
been virtually removed from the steam
trade and steam users have returned
to coal
In 1912 a total of IL ,646 men, who
worked an average of POP days, were
employed in the coal mines of Kansas,
against 1857 men for an average of
100 DAYS in 1911.
The fatality record in Kansas exhib-
its the same Improvement in 1912 that
was evident in most of the coal-mining
states. The number of fatal accidents
decreased from AZ to %, diminution
of exactly one-third.
The coal productive area of Kansas
lies entirely in the eastern part of the
state The coal measures underlie ap-
proximately 10000 square miles, of
which about three-fourths may be
considered as probably productive.
Three fields or districts have been fair
ly we'll developed. Over 80 per cent
of the total production of the Kansas
mines is derived from Cherokee and
Crawford counties. The principal coal
bed in the district, the Cherokee. varies
from 3 to 10 feet in thickness. though
the average is only about 31s feet. The
coal is bituminous coal, of good quail
fty. and roof and floor conditions are
excellent. Some of the coal beds lie
near the surface and mining operations
are carried on by removing the over
burden and stripping the coal. Some
of this COAL because of it's absolute
freedom from coking tendency, is
known locally as dead coal and is
used raw by the zinc smelters in and
near Pittsburg.
The earliest record of coal production
in Kansas shows that the state pro-
duced in 1869 a total of 36,S91 tons.

THEY PREFER NO LAW
Bankers Strongly Opposed to Admin
istration Currency Bill.

Washington, Sept. 5.-Predictons that
if the administration currency bill should
pass without change, the government
would fail to organize the proposed federal
reserve system were renewed by bankers
today at the hearings before the senate
banking committee
IF changes are not made,'' Sol Wex1er
of New Orleans said, 'I am confident
state banks will not come in and many
national banks will reorganize under state
charters. You will have a legal SHE'LL but
you cannot organize the banking system
it contemplates.'
Would you prefer no law at all
rather than the bill now before the house,
I'VE would prefer no law; we don't
believe the house bill offers a sound
workable system of financial reorganiza-
tion," said WexIer.

ASK FOR MEDIATION.
Governor Major Is Pedtioned to Act
i'm Strike Situation.

ST. Louis, Sept. 5.-A petition was
sent to Governor Major today that the
state board of mediation and arbitra-
ton undertake the settlement of the
strike of garment workers here in
which nine hundred men and women
are involved.
The petition to the governor says in
part;
Neither side has triumphed, but
both have suffered seriously. The en-
ployers have incurred severe financial
loss, their plant has been more or less
crippled and ability to compete with
eastern cities correspondingly lessened-
The workers by their loss of wages are
undergoing all the hardships that such
loss entails on them and their families.
There has been violence, and ILL
feeling has been engendered. The city
suffers economic waste well as men,
ace to it's peace and good name.''

VOTE SEEMS NEAR.
Senate Probably Will Pass Tariff Bill
Tomorrow.

Washington. Sept. 5.-Democrats of the
senate began early today what admins
tration leaders hoped would be the last
caucus over the stumbling blocks in the
tariff bill. Every possible effort was be-
ing made to rush odds and ends of the
measure into place for vote on the bill
in the senate by tomorrow night.
The senate waited until p m. while
the Democrats were in session endeavor-
ing to agree on an amendment to the in
come tax and to satisfy differences in
their own ranks on minor points
Another caucus may be necessary to-
night to consider amendments by Senator
Newlands of Nevada, who returned from
the west during the day.
After several hours debate the caucus
adopted an amendment proposed in the
finance committee by Senator Smith of
Georgia, which leaves the normal tax at
per cent On 5000 minimum and provides
an additional tax of l per cent on in
comes over $4,000 to $4,000; per cent
addition incomes between $4,000 and
SIS 600: per cent on incomes from $4,000
to 10000; per cent on incomes between
100000 and $250.O00; per cent on $3.50. 900
to $4,000 and per cent additional on in
comes in excess of $4,000. 1t would make
the maximum tax on incomes over SSOO,0O0
z per cent.

HALF DAY SESSION.
Joplin Children VIII Have No School
in Afternoons.

Joplin. Mo-, Sept. 5.-Because of the
oppressive heat, the board of education
here today, ordered the superintendent of
PUBIC schools to arrange the schedule
in the nineteen grade schools of Joplin
so that there will be no afternoon ses-
s1ons. Schools opened Monday but the
extreme heat caused many parents to
complain against sending their children
At the meeting of the board held last
night a petition was presented by the
women's civic league asking that action
be taken to alleviate conditions.
This morning committee of the board
Investigated and then ordered the change
made to be effective until cooler weather

SEPTEMBER HEAT
Nothing Like This in Kansas
Weather History.
Another 1O2 Degree Day Has
Arrived.
NOT. A SIGN OF RELIEF
The Wind That Helped All
Summer Is Still.
Needle Climbed IL Degrees
From z to 8 This Morning.
lot. A SIGN OF RELIEF

Never in the history of Kansas has
anything like the present heat wave
gripped the state in September. The
weather today is intensely hot and sui
try and the mercury began early
and climbed to the 1o2 degree point.
The minimum temperature at six
o'clock was 20 degrees, but by nine
o'clock the quicksilver had passed the
81 degree point. The sky today has an
Indian summer appearance.
Fair and continued warm tonight
and Saturday is the forecast, which
means practically no change in condi
tionS. The fact that there is scarcely
any wind stirring makes the weather
doubly unbearable. Early this morn
ing, when hundreds of Topekans were
attempting in vain to sleep, it took the
wind one and one-half hours to blow
mile-and that was way up on top
of the Mulvane building. There was
no sign of breeze in the residence
sections of the city.
The Kaw river has risen two-tenthS
of a foot in the last twenty-four hours,
and this Notwithstanding the fact that
the water supply in many sections of
the state is diminishing each day. The
local weather observer had no reason
to give for the rise.
1t is intensely hot at Hutchinson ac-
cording to an Associated Press dis
patch which reads as follows:
THE temperature this morning at 8
o'clock is Sc. much higher at that hour
than for two weeks, prefacing an I'M
usually hot day for September. No
rain is in sight. but the large portions
of the Arkansas valley treated to ir-
rigation proves that the underflow in
this district is capable of producing
fine crops during the driest season.
Brandy lake. a hundred-acre de-
preston, is drv and the fish are all
dead. 1t is the first time in the his
tory of the country, as far back as
known, when the lake went dry. 1t has
for forty years been a boating and fish
ing resort nine miles southeast of
Hutchinson"
Pittsburg people suffered Thursday
night. Not during July and August
was there night of such suffering
temperature. Persons sought yards in
an attempt to sleep but found little
relief there. Not until two or three
hours before daylight did the temper
ature drop Clouds early this morning
promised relief from the heat for
short time but soon the sky was clear.
The thermometers stood at 80 at $50
o'clock.
Following is list of maximum tenn
peratures at government stations for
the twenty-four hours ending at seven
O'Clock this morning:
