Y. N. CA. BOYS WON
BY SWIMMING CORPS
More INSTRUCTORS" Now Than
Non-SWimmers as Result of
Clubs Work.

So quickly has the swimming in
struction CORPS of the Dolphin SWIM
ming Club developed that it is now a
common sight to see more young in
structors at the Y. NJ. 9. \. pool these
mornings than non-swimmers. The club
is made up of the swimming enthusiasts
of the Y. n. c. A.
Each morning the swimmers of the
organization have been devoting part
of their time to teaching the young
sters who didn't know how to swim the
srt of ekeping themselves anoat and
how to strike out" The result has
worked wonders among the younger
structors outnup1ber the pupils.
AS soon as swimming Is mastered by
the pupils they are taught to dive.
Lifesaving will be added to the cur
riculCm" Of the club later.
The club is planning a series of
aquatic contests shortly for the
younger swimmers and the winners
will be taken to Annapolis to see
the big pol at the Naval Academy.
To become a member of the club
each applicant must demonstrate his
ability to teach another the art. Very
quickly do some of the young in
structors teach the less timid among
the youngsters in dead mans float"
stroke" and other features
Keen rivalry exists among the MEM
bers of the club as to just who shall
be considered the most capable teach
er. 1t is a source of pride when their
proteges first dive from the spring
board and swim the length of the
natatorium.

BILL AGREED
UPON BY CONFEREES
Standards Prescribed in Uni
form Contract To Be Used
for Future Deliveries.

Conferees on the cotton futures bill
have reached an agreement 1t was pre-
| scented to the House and Senate today.
The bill, as agreed to. provides for
standard contract for sale of cotton
for future delivery. A tax of 2 cents a
pound is laid on all cotton sold for
future delivery when the standard con-
tract is not employed.
Passage of the bill next week was pre-
dicted today by Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, head of the Senate conferees.
The new law will be effective six
months after II Is enacted. The officials
of the Department of Agriculture think
1t will take this long to get the ma
chinery ready for its enforcement.
The standard contract OF the House
bill. with notifications suggested by the
Department of Agriculture. was adopted.
Under this contract. cotton for de-
livery must be within the standards
prescribed by the Government. These
standards relate to character, color
and cleanliness of cotton.
Cotton delivered must be OF the
same standard as sold or. II another
standard is delivered. the cash equiv
lowed. 1t is believed the new meas
ure will prevent cotton exchanges
from delivering grades of cotton in
ferior to the grades sold.
The House tax was originally
cent a pound when the standard con-
tract is not used. The conferees dou-
bled IL. This means tax of $40 a
bale as a penalty for not using the
standard contract. :

Knightly Bandits
Hold Up Train

LOS ANGELES. July 2i.-Heavily
armed deputies today were sent out
in four automobiles to search the
foothills for three chivalrous bandits
who held up Southern Pacific south
bound passenger train last night and

cash. They cursed and threatened
every man in the train, but treated
the women with great courtesy and
consideration.
The robbers boarded the train at
Chatsworth and alighted at Hewitt,
where an automobile was waiting for
them. They started in the direction
OF Los Angeles, but evidently really
ing their escape in that direction
would be blocked. turned into the
omen country. Brakeman c. T.

CONGRESS
IS RUN BY WILSON
Congressman Fess Voices An
other Cry Agaist Executive
Interference"

Another outcry against executive in
reference with the functions of Con.
gress was voiced in the House today by
Congressman Tess, an Ohio Republican
who declared that he believed that
''two-thirds of the members of this
House will eat out of tine Presidents
hands without tho slightest protest"
The situation, said Mr.. Tess. was
"calamitous.''
low many members would have
voted for the FREQ tolls repeal:' de-
manded Mr. Fess during his speech.
Congressman Gordon, of Ohio, a
Democrat, asserted that Tess in private
conversation had told him he intended
to vote fer repeal, but had later made
a speech against 1t. AS Congressman
Tess arose to answer him, Minority
Leader Mann interjected:
oh. let him alone. No one ought to
talk to him again, anyway"
How About Jones?
Congressman Decker. a Missouri Dem
ocrat, was in the midst of a defense OF
the President and the Democratic party
when some Republican shouted across
the aisle:
How about Jones?'
Mr.. Decker said he did not know Mr.
Jones, but j speak for the majority OF
the people of the United States when ]
say that they have confidence in Wood
row Wilson, real man, patriot, a
statesman" Mr.. Decker referred to
Congressman Humphrey of Washington
as "a croaker, a prophet Of i'll omen, a
black raven croaking 'Nevermore.' be-
cause of his attacks upon the Admins
tration.
The colioquy occurred during the de-
bate on the general dam bill, and the
hot weather again put members OF the
House on edge.
Says Wilson Runs Congress.
Mr.. Tess asserted that 'it is a mat
ter of political theory that you DEM
ocrats make the mistake of thinking
that he legislative branch of the Gov
eminent is at the White House in
stead of on Capitol Hill"

harm is there in it," asked Mr.. Cor

THE gentleman overlooks the part

blow was dealt to the unification OF the
Serbs, which, If ever carried through,
would cut off the entire southwestern
corner of the Hapsburg empire.
Since then a strong army has been

Where War Would Start.
Semlin, where the fleet of monitors is
assembling, lies on the west bank OF
the Danube, just above the point where
the Save joins II. In the Intersection
of the two rivers rises the lofty butte
which is the core of the city of Bel
grade, the Servian capital, which thus
juts out into Hungarian territory. Sem
lin is only two or three miles away, and
is easily commanded by guns placed on
the heights of Belgrade, as the land
lying in the neighborhood Is very low.
At the intersection of the two rivers Is
War Island, q marshy eXpanse formed
b. the silt brought down by the Save.
Around this the Austrian transports
would have to go to take troops down
Ine river, Out the guns VI "dISilipS a.
Semlin could easily lombard the city
of Belgrade, itself.
Semlin has a population of about H.
900, but Is a town of no special import
ance, except as a customs station and
the starting point of military operations
below the Danube. IT is almost sur
rounded by low-lying, swampy ground
through which the railroad goes on &c
the southeast and crosses the Save into
Belgrade at point about three or foul
kilometers distant.
Temesvar is an important railroad
center and garrison town of about 50,0C
Inhabitants, about fifty miles east OF
the Danube as II flows south through
the plain of Hungary, and seventy-fve
miles northeast of Belgrade. From IL
diverge several railroad lines. which
could carry troops down to the Danube
SO as to commence an invasion all along
the northern frontier of Servia.
One of these lines, striking off to
the southeast. reaches the river, just
after crossing the Rumanian frontier
at Verciorovna. Another leads to the
southwest and ends at Panesova. on the
Danube, only few miles below Bel
grade. A third, running southwark
forks at Verseca, about twenty miles
from the frontier. One branch runs
to Panesova, on the southwest; another
east to Bazias. on the Danube, about
forty miles below Belgrade. and the
third to Kubin. midway between Bel
grade and Bazias.
Opposite Kubin is the Servian town OF
Semendria, formerly a fortress of great
strength. 1t is still a town of consid-
cradle Importance, and. as the end of a
branch line of railroad. could be used
as the starting point of maneuvers to
cut off Belgrade from the rest of Servia,
