Peach Shipments
 Larger This Year

MACON, Ga, Aug. 30-The indi- cations are that the peach shipments from this state will total $500 cars. despite the fact that hail had caused considerable loss to the peach growers throughout central Georgia. A fact which has pleased the peach growers is that this year. thanks to the Georgia Fruit exchange, Georgia peaches have ben introduc- ed into the markets of Canada and the middle western states, where heretofore they have been almost unknown. Because of the ability of the exchange to put cars in the small cities of the middle west, the eastern market has not been glutted and consequently prices have been maintained and the growers have benefited accordingly.

CHINESE [EFT ID
 STARYE ON BEACH

VALDEZ, August 30. Reports reaching here that 78 Chinese cool ies were left to starve on the beach at Nushagak by the fish cannery that had employed them, will be the subject of a thorough inves- tigation, ordered by the United States marshal at this place.
 The report of the affair brought here is to the effect that the Chinese refused to go on board the boat that was to take them to Seattle, it being asserted by them that there was not enough water and provi- sions on the boat for the number of people taking passage on it. The men commanding the boat for the cannery, then sailed away and left the Chinese to their fate.
 That there are few provisions left with the Chinese and that they have also little water, is the assertion made here, and unless relief is sent to them soon, some of them are sure to die, it is declared. If the reports prove true. concerning the leaving of the men to starve. the men responsible for the crime will be arrested. it is asserted by the government officials here.

SWEDISH CRISIS
 BELIEVED PASSED

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 3O-It is gen erally believed that the political crisis in Sweden has passed with the holding of the general election but the results do not indicate a permanent solution of the question of natural defense on which the election hinged.
 The number of Conservative mem bers has been increased from sixty five to eithy-five, Socialists from sixty-five to seventy-five and the Liberals, hitherto the dominant party, have been reduced from 100 to 70 in the second chamber.
 The increase of the Conservative poll was due to the general feeling of unrest in regard to the foreign situation, which is believed at least to menace the territorial integrity of Sweden.
 The Conservatives went to the polls with the cry of national safety first, and this rather overshadowed the other issue of the constitutional conflict between king and parlia- ment

OFFICIAL UNEAS|NESS FELT
IN NOTE SENT TO SENATE PRES DENT WILSON SUGGESTS THAT ALL MEMBERS KEEP IN READINESS FOR PASSING EMERGENCY LEGISLATION.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 3O.- That there is danger of the United States getting into the European war, seems evident from the fact that it has just been learned to- day that at secret caucus of the members of the United States senate held a few days ago, it was the eN- pressed sentiment that Frances polite note. warning the United States not to buy German merchant vessels, should be ignored Should this sentiment prevail in both houses, it will leave the way open for France to declare war on the United States.
 That the Administration is un- easy concerning the situation is made evident in various ways. Pres ident Wilson sent a note to the sen ate yesterday. suggesting that the members remain on hand for duty as emergency legislation may be needed at any time
 The warning issued by France to the United States was transmitted few days ago by Ambassador Jusserand of France. stationed in Washington, to the state department. Although it was clothed in polite. diplomatic language, the note con veyed threat of hostlities in case the United States insists on purchasing German merchant yes sells.
 says that the government of that nation would view with displeasure the purchase of German merchant vessels by the United States. It Is explained that the German commerce has been driven from the q seas by the allied navies, and that the fight against Germany would be seriously interfered with in case the mer- chant ships of that nation are again placed in commission.
 At the caucus of the senators, held soon after the French note was delivered, the matter was discussed in its various features The senti- ment upon which those present agreed was that the United States has a right to purchase any foreign ships 1t may desire. as long as the purchase is made in good faith, and as long as the purchase is not merely a transfer for temporary pur- poses.

WOMEN IN CONVENTION AT CHICAGO PLAN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGNS THIS FALL IN ALL OF THE VARIOUS STATES OF THE UNION.
NEW NATIONAL LAW WANTED
SENATORS AND REPRESENTA- TlVES WHO ARE KNOWN TO OPPOSE WOMEN'S RIGHTS ARE BLACk-LISTED; REELECTION TO BE FOUGHT.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-Woman stuff rage promises to become an import ant national issue in the fall cleo tions in all the states of the Union, tional Woman Suffrage association in this city. yesterday, it was de cided 10 carry the campaign of women's rights to the polls this year in as effective a way as pos sible
 The campaign planned by the women consists largely of defeat ing those candidates who are known to oppose woman suffrage as nation al issue. What was termed a con gressional blacklist" was prepared on which the names of senators and members of the house of represen- tatives who are known to oppose woman suffrage are listed.
 On the senatorial blacklist are nine names. eight being of senators
  Among the senators that were black listed by the women are Thomas F. Gore, of Oklahoma; Elihu Root, of New York. Henry Cabot Lodge. of Massachusetts; and Benjamin F, Shvely of Indiana Senator Lodge is the only one on the list la l. Il this year.
 The blacklist for the house of representatives was smaller than tl at for the senate. there being but seven names on it. The blacklisted representatives include o. w. Under wood, of Alabama, and J. R. Mann, of Illinois
 In making a national issue of woman suffrage. it Is believed that the support of the women in states that already permit women to vote will be almost unit.
 To gain woman suffrage through out the nation it must become q provision of the constitution of the United States. in the same way the negroes were granted suffrage after the Civil war. It is planned 10 have congress initiate constitu- tional amendment, which must later be voted upon by the legislatures of the various states, in order to be- come effective.
