 TEE SAFE CONDUCT
United States Will Wait Action
 From Vienna Before Issues
 Safe Conduct for Dumba.- May Take Up Cases of Others.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The Am .erlcan government will make no eff fort to obtain safe conduct from the United States of Dr. Constantin Dum- ba, Austrian ambassador here until the Vienna government has replied to the request that the ambassador be recalled. This was stated tonight. Dr. Dumba, himself, telegraphed As slstant-Secretary Phillips of the state department from Lenox, Mass, today .glvlng notice that his government had recalled him home on leave, and ask ing the American government to ar range for his safe conduct to Vienna. He added, that he planned to sail on September 2S. The message was ad- dressed to MT. Phillips without of fcial title.
 Acting Secretary Polk conferred with President Wilson tonight on the Dumba incident and other questions. Later it became known that the Unit ed States would await formal word from the Austro- Hungarian foreign office before acting on the request. A reply from Vienna is expected within the next few days to the note asking that Dr. Dumba be withdrawn.
 Where the American government will be satisfied if Vienna carries out pr. Dumba's request and gives notice that he is to be withdrawn on leave was not disclosed tonight, and will not be finally determined until it is seen what form the Vienna reply takes.
 masmuch as dispatches from Vien- na have indicated that the govern ment there already has chosen tenn porary successor to Dr. Dumba, it is taken for granted here that no at tempt will be made to send the lat ter back here whatever may be the manner of his going. The president was still considering tonight what ac- ton if any, to take in regard to Cap tain Franz Von Papen, German mili- tary attache here.

COTTON CLIMBS UP
 AFTER POOR START
Early Reaction, Followed by Rapid Advance and Close Shows a Net Gain of from 6 to II Points for the Day.

New York, Sept. 22.-Early reac- tions were followed by another very rapid advance in the cotton market to- day, which carried all deliveries into new high ground for the movement, with December contracts selling at 11.73c. or 24 points above last nights final figures. The close was several points off from the best, under heavy realizing but the final tone was steady at net gain of from 6 to II points for the day.
 There seemed to be quite a good deal of reactionary sentiment at the start and realizing was prompted by the failure of Liverpool to fully meet yesterdays advance and the more fa- vorable showing of the weather map. The opening was to s points lower and active months sold off to a net loss of about 10 to 13 points on the prediction for warmer weather, and local selling for a reaction as well as heavy profit-taking, attracted by the extent of the recent upward move ment. Offerings, however, were well taken around l0,98c for October and 11.49c. for January, and the buying became extremely active and aggres- sive, following the publication of the weekly weather reports, which indi- cated that the crop had shown little

HIGHER COURT ON
 HIGH COST OF LIVING
Supreme Court Asked to Take Judicial Cognizance of High Cost of Living-Case First to Test Minimum Wage Act.

Little Rock, Sept 23.-The members of the Supreme Court are asked in a brief that has just been filed to take judicial cognizance of the high cost of living.
 The case is that of J. B. Grove. con victed in the Sebastian county courts on a charge of violating the Minimum Wage Law, by failing to pay the min imum wage of $1.25 to a laundry worker as prescribed by the act pass ed by the last legislature. He has fined $25 by the lower court, and his appeal to the circuit court went against the state, his demurrer being sustained The State thereupon ap- pealed to the Supreme Court, and the case becoms the first upon which will be tested the validity of the Act. It will probably be submitted within a few weeks.
 The defendants in his demurrer contend that the act is in violation of liG Sldle anu llic OllCcu pldJeS OOn- stitutions, and that it was not legally passed by the Legislature or approved by the Governor
 Brief for the state denies that these allegations are true, and holds that the act is strictly within the police power of the state, and cites an Ore gon case to prove that it is not in con travention of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S., since it does not abridge or attempt to abridge the privileges or immunities of cti- zens. Brief for the state further says:
 "The police power of the state is far-reaching. Its exercise by the state is without precise limitation, it's lines cf delimination are not marked, and the courts will go a long way to up- hold the constitutonality of an act that has tendency to promote public convenience, health, welfare and gen eral prosperity.
 When we consider the insignificant sum that the bill fixes as the mlm- mum compensation, compared with the high cost of living that can be vouched for by the members of this court, is seems like a tragedy for the master to ask his employees to work for less. It is nothing less than mon umental gall for a man to apply to the judiciary for relief against paying a hungry woman $1.25 per day to work nine long, hot hours. The state has for a long time been in need of such a law, and we feel that the Court will sustain the act. It does not require violence to previous holdings to sus- tain it and makes no new law to do co {"

or no improvement during the past week and that prospects for a top crop were even less favorable. Pri- vate cables reporting that English statisticians estimated the worlds consumption for this week at 15,000,- 900 bales also caused the renewal of bull support and many early sellers seemed to be covering on the advance which carried prices up to 11.32c for October and 11.84c for January during the middle of the afternoon.
 The general list at this time showed net gains of from 19 to "A points.

Thaw always appeared rational.

he woull not. Mrs. Lang was asked ny

"a sane man acts nationally, and an
insane man acts irrationally,' she SAID
"Are you speaking medically, ger.

that Thaw impressed them as rational.
Mrs. Helen II. Sargent testified that

in Thaw that she introduced to him
her eighteen and nineteen year old
