general review OF crop conditions on
July 1, Just issued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Continuing, the review says:
Nearly all crops are low in condi-
tions, the exceptions being cotton,
wheat and tree fruits. Tobacco, hay,
oats and potatoes are particularly low
in condition. Drought is the chief
cause. Some showers at the close Of
the month, however, were benefi-
cial. The estimate Of the corn crop
for West Virginia this year is 49,
$4,000 bushels, compared with 22,-
200 last year. Wheat is in bet
ter condition and the state will pro-
duce this year. according to official
estimates, 3,170,000 bushels, com
pared with 3,055,000 last year and
2,952,000 as the average for the last
five years. The production Of oats
for this year is estimated at LIZA
900 bushels, compared with $780,
600 last year and 2,558,000 as the
average for the last five years. The
potato crop is expected to fall short.
the estimate for 1914 being 3,000,-
900 bushels, compared with $685.
600 as an average for the last five
years. Less than half a crop Of to-
bacco is expected, the estimates for
1914 being $4,000 pounds, com
pared with 12,763,000 pounds as the
average for the last five years.
The condition Of the hay crop Is
given as so per cent OF full crop,
compared with 70 per cent as the
average for six years past. Apples
and peaches promise well. The con-
dition Of apples is given as 73 per
cent compared with 81. per cent as
an average for ten years. For
peaches the condition is stated as GA
per cent compared with 40 per cent
as an average for ten years.
Wool growers will fare better than
for years. the average weight per
fleece for 1914 being given as 81

this year Is "a cents compared with
an average of 81 cents for the last

ssy Assoe,A1Ep esssn

PARIS, July 21.-Mme Henrietta
Caillaux was up at z o'clock this morn
ing preparing for the second days
hearing OF the charge against her Of
the willful murder on March 16 Of Gas
ton Calmette, editor OF the Figaro.
The wife Of the former peremier and
minister Of finance took an early
breakfast and before 8 o'clock was
awaiting for her husband, who, how
ever, did not call at the prison till
between 8 and 10 o'clock. The pris-
oner and her husband conferred for
half an hour and afterward she
lunched.
81 feel better than I did yesterday =
she said to the solicitous prison war
den when he inquired today about her
health.
The prisoner had previously looked
through mass Of morning papers and
had found that generally she had been
sympathetically treated. The stem
ographic report Of her testimony filled
sixteen columns In some OF the news
papers and besides this there were
many statements Of her dexterous ar
rangements Of facts.
After Judge Albanel and his assoc
iates had taken their places on the
bench. Nine. Caillaux entered the pris-
oner's enclosure with an air Of making
herself at home. Her husband then
entered the court and took his place
among the witnesses. He was accom-
panied by two detectives owing to the
fact that a group of bystanders had
hooted him as he left the prison after
visiting his wife.
Two office boys from the Figaro
were the first witnesses today They
described the arrival at the Offices OF
the Figaro on the day Of the crime OF
Nine. Caillaux. They told how she
waited and gave details Of her en-
trance into the room occupied by Gas
ton Galmette and Of their hearing the
shots. One Of the boys, Adrien Meet,
crouched down on the witness stand
and uttered series Of low cries to
show how he found Calmette shelter
ing himself behind his desk.
Paul Bourget, the Immortal
who. was with Calmette In his Office
at the moment when Nine. Caiilanx's
card was brought in, then told the
jury the incident. ..s.you wtlisnsyel
see her. !" Issaid. ~ cannot fefua9 IA
receive a woman, he replied Other
members Of the staff Of the. Figaro
then testified, among them Luis
Latzarus, who gave a vivid descrip.
tion Of the scene when Calmette was
shot. He said he heard shots and
ran to Calmette's room, where Cal
mette had sunk in a state OF col:
lapse in chair. M. Sirac. he said.
was holding a woman by the. wrist
She cried Let me go. / am goinS
to escape" Sirac then let her go,
said the witness. and she stood near
the door, clear-eyed with her face
neither pale nor flushed. She seemed
untroubled by the fifteen editors,
who quickly gathered around her.
"She began to speak," said the wit
ness, Saying since there is no jus.
tice In France
Shut your mouth said one Of
the editors. After what you have
done keep quiet
"'1 am not speaking to you,' said
Nine. Caillaux."

of Building Operations Hinted
at Unless Labor Difficulties
Are Settled Soon.

80 q a
"a complete. tte-up Of building op-
|erations here Is limited at, as q result
|of certain labor conditions, especially
prevailing with the carpenters and
bricklayers over the matter OF union
labor. An alliance offensive and
defensive between the union carpen-
ters and union bricklayers is said to
be forming looking to refusal on
the part Of members Of both organ
iSations to work on buildings where
non-union carpenters and bricklay-
'ers are employed.
There are about $50 carpenters at
work in the city, sixty Of whom are
said to be union men, and non-union
carpenters are now employed on an
estimated three-fourths part Of the
work now in progress, and there will
be serious handicap should the diff
Guilty reach definite action.
It is stated that there are many
carpenters here who would gladly
join the union II the fees and dues
were reduced SO as to be within their
reach.
AS building operations are in good
shape and there is prospect for much
development along this line. 1t ID
hoped for the wslhare Of the COM
munity that the matter may be
amicably adjusted before 1t ap-
proaches the danger line Of tie-up.

Sincerely yours.
"ADAM B. LITTLEPAGE.r s.
In response to this s. o. S. many
big city brothers responded and Mr.
Ldttlepage had the fullest and fairest
opportunity to try out his theory that
q candidate for Congress can win votes
In exchange for government seeds and
literature, when he has no other mer-
its to offer. It was good test of the
proposition, and it would not stand.
The voters Just would not stand for Il,
at all. And Mr.. Littlepage was one OF
the few accidents Of 1910, who was
not able to ride in with the still larger
number Of accidents" who rode the
waves all hunkydory in 1912.
In the light Of that experience It 10
not believed that Adam will repeat his
plan Of campaign. He could not get
the seed nor the "hoss" books this
year, but If he could 1t is doubtful If
he would make use OF them to any
great extent. One experience of this
kind was doubtless enough to con-
vince him that votes in bulk in the
Third district are not for sale, and are
pretty honest and Independent votes
after all. Also, "thei concerted action
state" which may have been true July
70, 1911, no longer exists, and to de-
pend on that sentiment helping him.
Mr.. Littlepage knows would be leanine
on Q broken reed. There is no great
satisfaction among the Democrats Of
the Third nor Of West Virginia over
the concerted action Of the Democrats
in (this) Congress-" It is lust the
reverse. There is the greatest dis
satisfaction because OF the concerted
action" Of the present Congress, which
disgruntlement Is by no means felt
by members Of that party solely. Nine
ty per cent Of all the voters feel that
way about It. They are sore.
Therefore, the wonder here is what
lines of campaign Adam B. has laid
out for himself. He might again cir
culate that undelivered speech Of his,
which he SO liberally punctuated with
great applause or again distribute
his glowing biography of himself in
which he modestly told Of himself that
he was "a patriotic man OF ability, ana
fine qualities OF mind and heart !. That
might help come.

him TO begin '.;' u; !

BUFFALO. July 21-organized
baseball suffered a legal defeat today
when Justice Herbert Bissell granted
the motion to vacate the Injunction
secured by the Chicago American
League baseball club restraining Hal
Chase from playing with the Buffalo
Federal League club.
The lack Of mutual obligation In
the so-called ten day clause Of the
contract under which Chase was play
ing with the Chicago team, whereby
the club could terminate the contract
on ten days notice while the player
was bound under several provisions OF
the national agreement formed the
basis Of the decision vacating the in
junction. That organized baseball Is
q violation OF the Sherman antitrust
law was denied by Justice Bissell on
the ground that he cannot agree that
''the business Of baseball for profit Is
interstate trade or commerce and
therefore subject to the provisions of
the Sherman act" The court held,
however, that It was monopoly Of
baseball business in contravention Of
the commen law.

ts,selAL 70 1ns rsLsesAs,

'.@..'-'r
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 21.-
II Adam Littlepage, the congressional
candidate in the Third district, has
written to the national administration,
the national Democratic congressional
committee, or the individual senator's
and representatives of his party, an
urgent request to send him garden
seed, @hoss" books and government
bulletins to use in his second cam
paign against Congressman Avis, that
fact has not been disclosed to date.
If he has not done this, the question
among the politicians here Is: What
kind Of an appeal is Adam going to
make this time? What means and
methods has he in mind to employ in
his campaign this year?
Two years ago he held firm to the
belief that his own winning card was
to swap government publications for
votes, and he shattered the district
with bulletins on every conceivable
subject ranging from the extirpation
OF the San Jose scale to the preven-
ton of hog cholera. But the result
OF the balloting showed that 1t was all
OF no avail. A majority of the voters
In the Third district set higher value
OF government publications generally
and garden seeds particularly, yet
they could not see that the exchange
was either fair or moral, and they re-
sented the imputation that their votes
could be SO cheaply Influenced, or
influenced at all, by package Of free
seed or a volume dealing with the
treatment OF the diseases Of the horse.
1t was a sore disappointment to Mr..
httlepage that his system Of vote
getting did not work out successfully.
He had pinned q very large, deep and
abiding faith in its efficacy. In. a now
famous letter Of July 10, 1911, while
yet enjoying membership, with good
ly number OF other accidents that
were swept into the House OF Repre-
sentatives on the tidal wave OF 1910.
he justified the faith that was his how
the Third district electorate could be
induced to return him. The letter
was addressed to fellow members Of
the faith, and fortunately we have pre-
served a copy,
Atter the usual salutation, he wrote:

trict OF West Virginia (now over 5000
