 Haiti Discussed
BY ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
 AT WASHINGTON.
RAvAGEs OF REVOLT

Washington, July 21.-Armed inter vention by the United States in Haiti was discussed today by administration officials upon the receipt of despatches from diplomatic agents saying great losses would be suffered in the island republic by the ravages of revolution.
 The situation tonight had advanced to a point where, under pressure from European powers, a movement of ma rines already mobilized at Guantonamo into Haiti and perhaps the Dominican republic was among the possibilities.
 Minister Menos of Haiti called on President Wilson today ostensibly to present his credentials, but bringing official despatches from his foreign of flee deprecating American interven- tion and representing that HaitPs credit was good, that it had met its international obligations and that no foreigners had been harmed

REVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL
 BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Chamber of Commerce Reports Bright
 Prospects for Bumper Crops.

Washington, July 21-In a review of agricultural and business conditions sent to it's members last night, the chamber of commerce of the United States emphasized the bright prospects for bumper crops this year and report ed a general feeling of optimism over what the future has in store, in SD te of present depression in manufactur- ing, mining, lumber and railroad cen- ters. The chambers conclusions, pre- pared at the headquarters, here, were based upon data gathered from all parts of the country
 Tt is rather remarkable" said tie review. that in most sections, even in manufacturing sections, where business conditions are at their worst, there IS much optimism of the immediate fu- ture, and a general feeling that with normal crops there will be very great improvement in all business matters during the remainder of this year. Manufacturing Is exceedingly quiet throughout the country. Mining, near ly all kinds, suffers from strikes and lack of demand. Lumber interests are feeling the dearth of building, espe- cially in small towns and in the coun- try. The railroads, because of decreas- ing revenues and increasing expens $, have cut down their forces as far as possible and laid off many trains, in the interest of economy. These con- ditions have. naturally. bred much ap- prehension, conservatism and pessim- ism in districts where these industries are the principal sources of revenue to the inhabitants. This Is particularly true in the middle and New England states and in some of the large man ufacturing centers of the west and south.
 Against these unfavorable condi tions, the situation of agriculture ie most encoura ging, despite drought con. ditions that have prevailed moro or less extensively in the spring and summer in widespread sections. Widely ex- tended rains in the latter part of June and early in July have put a new phase IlDOu affairs"

 received from pawnbrokers was in tht nature of personal loans, and that th' l brewers had contributed only $500 ou I of personal friendship. He also denied ! a charge by Mulhall that he had forged i Harold F. McCormick's name to {
 check for $250.

 ported McDermott guilty of acts O grave impropriety unbecoming the dis
 xinguished position he holds, and add ! ed that his training and association l have not given him the ethical percep tions and standards relative to. publi
 office that usually characterizes publi | men.
 The case was to become before tn
