Medicine Hat, Canada, home of the
coolest weather, saw the mercury
escend to 104, and twelve cities swell
tered at 100 or above.
Kansas was the heat center. Con.
cordia, Kan, reported 10S degrees
and Clay Center LOG. Throughout the
state temperatures of more than 100
were general. A score of soldiers at
the Illinois National Guard camp at
Camp Lincoln were prostrated. The
lowest temperature recorded in GEN.

was 81 degrees, with the maximum
above 100
At St. Louis with the temperature
soaring above the 100 mark, 20 per
cent increase in the price of ice was
announced today by two of the largest
companies. 1t was said
that the increase was the result of
recent increases in the wages of ice

Ulster Passes Celebration
Without Repeating Battle

Drumberg, Ireland, July 1.-THE
Orangemen's demonstration here cul.
minated in a scene of immense en-
thusiasm about the tiny platform
where Sir Edward Carson, Bible in
hand, pledged the covenanters never
to surrender to coercion, to remain
loyal to the throne and never to wa
yer IN their support of their leaders
in the fight against home rule.
Sir Edward Carson, in a speech
which evoked tremendous enthusiasm,
served notice on the British govern
ment that unless it was prepared to
leave Ulster alone it would very
shortly find the Ulstermen recogniz-
ing no government except the provis-
ional government of Ulster.
He said he had been given author
ity 70 act and if necessary that meant
he was to exercise his powers with
g~ut regard to consequences to him
SELF The Ulstermen, he added, were
not going to give way and were
bound to win because God would de-
fend the right.

Absolute Surrender.

Washington, July 14.-General Car
rama formally notified the United
States that he would engageg in no
mediation whatever with the Huerta
delegates and would accept only the
terms of absolute surrender.
Mexico City was looked to today
as the place where the next big scene
liz the Mexican situation would be
staged.
With Huerta about to quit and turn
over affairs to his new foreign minis
ter, Francisco Carbajal, hope was ex-
pressed that way might be found
peacefully to transfer the government
to the constitutionalists and avert mill
itary conquest of the capital by their
triumphant forces.
Hucrta, it was believed, might QUIT
Chapultepec some day this week.
Automatically, Carbajal would as
sumo the role of provisional presi-
dent.
Carbajal is aged less than so. He
came into prominence internationally
as the envoy of Diaz at the Juarez
peace conference in 1911 after the
Madero revolution.

the institutions and the moral prin-
ciples which have given its strength
to this country. For instance, vio-
lent popular demonstration took place
before the imperial palace and train
which was carrying the mikado was
fired upon. Even the military virtues
Of the country are being impaired. Ac-
cording to a newspaper of Osaka, in
g. single year more than $4,000 young
men have endeavored to shirk military
service"
But corruption in Japan goes deep
er still and permeates even the moral
sphere of Japanese-life, and we read:
"Faith vanishes and with it moral
ity. The corruption of the students
of either sex is an avowed fact, ac-
cording to japanese paper. Those
who have escaped this corruption are
totally lacking in energy and char
acter."
Mr.. Brieux, who is an artist as we'll
as a writer, notices with grief what
he somewhat invidiously styles "the
Americanization and Disagreement"
of the country scenery There are
no rosy tints in his forecast of ia
pans future. Revolution, assassina-
tions ana self-abandonment to the
instructive passions are bound to
bring Japan down to the level of the
worst states in the world viewed in
their basest aspects. While Mr..
Brieux does not dwell upon Japanese
domestic politics, he remarks that the
old political virtues of Japan as main
taineJ by the ancient clans are now
rarely found to exist. They have been
eaten out, enfeebled and soured by
the parliamentarism which there, as
elsewhere, scatters the special seeds
of corruption. He says that the me-
val scandal shows that the naval al
thorities are in the pay of the Ger
man ironmasters. He then touches
upon the dangers of Japan's geo.
graphical position:
"Japan is environed by powerful
enemies-the imperialistic United
States, autocratic Russia, and China
ruled by dictator. Little Japan,
democratic and forgetful of her past,
has terrible neighbors. 1t must neces-
sarily be that some day or other she
must learn, must in fact borrow from
them, that experience of life which
she now claims with such courage,
hravado, recklessness and dash. -

OUEEN OF ENGLAND
A GREAT SEAMSTRESSS IS

In the August Womans' Home Com
pari.on appears most interesting anI
intimate account Of the king and queen
.sy .cf Ehgland. Queen Mary-acc&-ldirg
to the author of this article, is vital
influence. She has tremendous ca
pacity for work, both public and pri-
vate, and great ability as business
woman and organizer. Following IS
6. brief extract from the article:
"The queen will not allow freedom
Of tone or conduct in those about her,
and she will not put up with 'vagar-
ies.' Disliking cards, she occupies aft
er-dinner hours, even when visiting at
great country houses, in. sewing. In
private apartments occupied by the
royal family she has in each room
an unfinished piece of needlework,
which she takes up in odd moments.
Of dancing, however, she is very fond
and at court balls, which will probab-
ly be more numerous when Princess
Mary comes out, the queen never
misses a waltz or a quadrille.
"Life is much simpler at the palace
than it was in King Edwards time.
Regularly once month all bills are
examined and paid-a plan quite diff
ferent from the one pursued in the
r Treceding reign, and, indeed, by the
British aristocracy in general
Herself a practical cook-for she
learned in her girlhood in the kitch-
ems Of White Lodge and Kensington
Palace-she still finds time now and
then to make cakes and knows how
things should be done.
"Fond of the needle and accustomed
to the sewing machine, she taught
Princess Mary to help darn her broth
ers' socks; even the young princes
have learned to knit socks and nit
tens as part of their contribution to
institutions. In year, for a single
charity, the queen makes as many as
sixty wooden garments, and remem-
bers in their making that people who
are poor love pretty things as much
as do the rich. At Balmoral after
dinner in holiday time Queen Mary,
for instance, is busily knitting for
some needy one"

Great Tragedy Occurs
When Young Seeley Woman
Is Killed by a Negro

It was 1:15 when the news got to
the sheriff, and at 2 he was on the
grouna, but telephoned to his office
to have more men and guns sent out,
and about 9 the fire bell was rung,
the firemen turning out quickly. Well
armed from the sheriff's office, three
auto loads of the fire boys rushed to
the scene and scattered widely in
search of the negro.
Frank Winslow happened to be the
first to see the negro's body and there
was general relief when it was found
that the negro had ended his own
life.
Justice Mayfield, acting as coroner,
summoned coroner's jury, which
I 1endered verdict in accordance with
these facts. The jury was unusual,
in that it contained two women, the
members being c.. A. Shafer, W. p.
Downcy, Mrs. w. P. Downey, Lester

johnson and M. w. Bates.

Scores Railroad LO0ters

Washington, July 14.-"Criminal
negligence" and zone of the most
glaring instances of maladministra-
ton revealed in all the history of
American railroading," were the
terms the interstate commerce COM
mission employed today in reporting
to the senate on it's investigation of
New Haven railroad financial affairs.
The committeee's conclusions may
be summed up this way:
"Losses to New Haven stockholders
from the acts of their directors will
range from $6O,OOO,OOO to 100000, 900.
Suits to recover the money should lie
in some cases."
Many of the transactions, charac-
terized as violations of the laws
Of New York, Rhode Island and Mas
sachusetts, and the federal antitrust
laws, have been reported to the au-
thorities Of the states and the federal
department of justice.
The depreciation of the Boston &
Maine began when the "Mellen-

drum corps and including a sprink-
ling of brethren from the United
States and the British colonies. They
marcned through the city of Belfast
to Drumberg, where big open air
meeting was addressed by Sir Ed
ward and other leaders.
The Nationalist quarter of Belfast
was carefully avoided by the demon
strators and on nc occasion during
the procession did the rival factions
come into contact. So little did the
authorities expect trouble that they
depended entirely on the local police
forge to keep order. All the military
were confined to barracks, as is usual
ly the case during political demon
strations.
A big crowd of tourists, including
many Americans, came to see the
procession and to hear the speeches.
which were a prelude to resolutions
calling on the Ulster leaders to take
what steps they, considered necessary
to prevent Ulster coming under the
authority of the Dublin parliament.
Sir Edward Carson was the hero
of the day. Buttons bearing his por-
trait were worn by nearly every man
in The procession, while great cam
vases spread across the streets in the
Unionist section of the city bore his

declared he meant no offense, and
the ect was overlooked, though re-
ported to Mr. Marchus when he re-
turned from his work.
In spite of this, the negro was in.
vited to share some ice cream last
evening with the husband and wife
and a neighboring family, and he left
with the other visitors at 1920.
About an hour later Marchus and
bis wife had retired and were asleep
when Marchus was suddenly aroused
by a shot, which wounded his hand.
He did not know it until later, but
after passing through his hand the
bullec had entered his wife's head be-
low the right eye, penetrating the
brain and coming out at the top of
of the head. She did not move, being
killed instantly.
AS Marchus reused from the bed,
the negro, who had evidently intend
ed the shot for him alone, apparently
realizing he had made mistake,
turned to run, with Marchus in pur-
suit, and thus they exchanged cou.

Returning from the chase, Marchus
sent word to the sheriff's office and

the number of voters who are not yet

Regular Cotton Picking
Is To Begin This Week

Ira Aten was in town yesterday
and stated that he has about fifty
bales of cotton on his 'Calipatria ranch

with about fifty men this week.
He added that he would not have
begun so early, but pickcrs have been
after him, anxious to get to work, and
the cotton is now in fine shape for
them.
While there have been q few pick
ings on a small scale, it is believed
this is the earliest cotton in the Unit
ed States to be regularly harvested.
No other growers of volunteer cot
ton have reported themselves ready
to begin the years harvest, but it is
