submitted TO me.
The report which elected this test
monial from Mr.. Mitchell contains an en-
couragng note on equipment. THE SUN
suggested some time ago that covered ash
carts were badly needed. Mr.. Fetherston
says:
"A new type OF covered ash car, has
been designed by the Cpmmi =! ouer and
has proved satisfactory In practical
operation. Twenty-Five carts have heen

The COMMITTEES also SAW that terminal

The committee declares that there Is
perhaps no city in tho world $50 back

that Thousands of tons OF fish that mi sht
be used are thrown into the harbor and

cause of lack OF proper facilities for
reaching consumers
1t Is fair question" II says,
whether New York as a oity ought not

FEDERAL AID

Washington, Aug. 4.-Southern SEN

here Monday night to devise plants

producers against loss as a result of
the European crisis.

Senator Ransdell of Louisiana read
the following telegram received Mon
day night from f. J. Glenny, presi-
dent of the New Orleans Cotton EX-
change which epitomized the discus
sion later at the conference:
"The foreign exchange markets
makes it impossible to export cotton.
Therefore America will have to fl
nance cotton until conditions be-
come more nearly normal 1t is there
fore evident that the price of cotton
must suffer, entailing heavy losses
upon farmers unless banks receive
some assistance beyond their normal
resources. Cannot something be done
by the government to assist in this
matter? Beyond the financial cOndi-
tions in the lack of neutral bottoms
TO carry the requisite amount of cot
ton to bring about any substantial
relief financially and as the export
OF cotton annually amounts to about
100000 bales, the amount of mon

not all be necessary at once but any
assistance offered by the government
would 80 a long way toward restoring

TAKES CHANCE
SPEEDY SHIP
THIS OCEAN GREYHOUND LEFT
NEW YORK LAST NIGHT TO CUT
HER WAY BACK TO ENGLAND
WITH ARMAMENT.

New York, Aug. 81 a. m,-The
British lion barred his teeth here
when officials of the Cunard line an
nounced that the Lusitania, which.
sailed a few hours ago for England,
was prepared to cut her way through
opposition in her wild endeavor to
reach home port and turn herself
over TO the services of the king.
Machine guns are on board the pal
atial liner, one of the fastest of the
ocean greyhounds They will be
mounted as soon as the steamship is
outside of the American three-mile
limit The crew of the Lusitania is
composed of British and Canadian
sailors, all well drilled for emergency
purposes.
lowering off New York harbor, it
is reported, are three British war
ships, ready TO come in close and
guard the Lusitania as she makes
her ocean flight. A French man-of,
war, and a German, We're reported
outside the three-mile limit last night
probably waiting to protect German
liners which venture to sea, or to
intercept unprotected British or
French vessels.
The dash of the Lusitania for a
home port is the most historic ever
attempted by an ocean liner in the
history Of transatlantic travel. For
100 years the Cunard company has
ooastod that it never has lost a ship,
but the reckless chance taken by the
Lusitania last night is the most des-
rerato ever known in marine an
mails.

resentative William Is. Mckinley, of
Illinois, for several years chairman of
the National Republican Congress
sional Committee, who ran the Taft
preconvention campaign and who has
been reelected to the next Congress,
is in this city on brief visit. In an
interview yesterday Mr.. Mckinley
said:
II believe the next Congress Will
witness the solidifying of the Repub-
lican party. Among the new congress-
men elected are many able and eX-
perienced young legislators. They Will
find the older members who have
been returned disposed TO give them
every opportunity to participate ac-
lively i'm the work of the committee
"Those of us who were left at home
IN 1912 appreciate the leadership of
ReDresentative James II. Mann.
Under his leadership in the next Con-
eress all elements of the party and all
representatives, young and old, will
he fairly treated. There will be no
disposition on the part of the return
ing older men who are not members
of the present Congress to take away
anv of the laurels belonging to the
men who stood up and fought for the
Republican party during the dark
days since 1872.
1.-THE attempt of the Democratic
party to create an insurgency within
The Republican party because the
older men are returning is doomed to
failure. On the other hand, l expect
