WINDOW (sI SIS BOOM
DOES NOT SHOW 81 r
And the Plants viii Be Blocked
as a Result Of the
0yerproduction.

4 = q a. : =
P1TTSBURG. Pa. Feb. 6.-The
Glassworker says:
The expected boom In window glass
has not arrived.
Whether It is owing to over slim
ulation, the war, Upon which 1t was
supposed to depend, nr Just because =
no one seems exactly able to define.
One thing is certain. and that is that
the golden era upon which the glass
trade seemed about entering has COW
~ retreated from week to week and
still holds US at arms length.
There has been q lot OF window
glass manufactured so far this fire
and the sales have been large, though
not as large as they should have
been.
Unfortunately for the stability OF
the merket, there has been some In
dependent undersellirg going on also.
1t has been done quietly and as SCI
cretly as possible, but still seems to
be generally known OF today. Such
things always come to light and one
OF the first res:tltss. It is said on good
authority. was the break in prices by
the American Window Glass Co.. a
kAONG fMALCA oGClAlF kllU1C IslGu u lltt1G
justified under the circumstances.
Now It seems reasonably certain
that those manufacturers who wish to
save the market will set in self de-
tense. and will shortly shut off their
production until their heavily loaded
warehouses at least begin to empty
themselves. BY blocking their fires
temporarily, when needed, the plant
owners will escape the heavy opera
ton costs. and will avoid flooding
the market with glass OF which there
is already more thar enough to sup
ply tho demand. When the surplus
is drawn off they will resume the
working of the plants. 1t is hard on
the workers dependent upon their
wages, but many manufacturers seem
to think that 1t is either question
of this system of blocking or suffer
ing such heavy losses that the future.
operation OF the plants would be
seriously threatened, which would
mean even CREATE: calamity to the
workers.
Manufacturers claim that Demo
cratic political leaders and newspa-
pers have wrought no little harm to
the trade by system of over-stimu-
lation, painting such glowing &C
counts OF the prosperous state of the
glass industry in this country that
people have been mislead, and in
duced into investing heavily in line
Of business that already is suffering
from overproductfon.
A number of new concerns have
been organized and others are now
in course of formation and are soon
to be started.
| The wisdom of establishing new
window glass plants at this time may
be gravely questioned, when 1t is
reliably stated that the factories now
in operation in this country are able
to meet all the domestic and foreign
demands.

Rain WATERS CROPS
.INWHOLESOUTHEAST
Cape Gets But a Shower, But
Farm Lands Get Heavy
Fall.

The threatened drouth in Southeast
Missouri was broken yesterday and
last night by good rain in counties
lying along the Mississippi River from
the outskirts of st. Louis almost to
the Arkansas border.
Cape Girardeau County, with the
exception of this city, received COM
paratively heavy rain. But the inter-
mittent showers settled the dust and
furnished sufficient water for the
grass and flowers in this city.
Shortly after shutdown, Jackson was
visited by a good shower and the rain
kept falling for more than two hours.
The farm lands adjacent to the Coun-
ty Seat also received a much needed
rain.
Millerville and contiguous territory
received the heaviest rain of this
spring. The fall of water was suffi-
cient, it was stated, to mature the
wheat, which was in need Of rain.
While the crops in this county and
adjoining counties were not perishing,
they were beginning to need water
badly. The present wheat prospects
indicate that this section of the State
will grow its banner yield this season.
This grain is now far enough advanc-
ed to be damaged severely by dry
spell, and it was beginning to need
rain badly when the showers swept
over yesterday.
The year has been ideal for corn
planting and many farmers are be-
ginning to cultivate their crops. Corn
and oats are in excellent condition and
the meadows are thriving.
The rain will be especially beneficial
to pasture lands, which have been eX-
ceptionally good this season.
Farmers from all parts of this sec
ton of the State are jubilant over the
prospects for a record-breaking yield
of all varieties of grain this year. Be
cause of the fact that the early floods
skipped this year, agriculturists were
enabled to plant their corn early. And
by avoiding the excessive watre fall
of this period of the year, it is be-
lieved will result in an even season
during the summer with ample rain
while grain is in the development
stage.
The berry crop is expected to be
good this year in spite of the adverse
indications of a few weeks ago
Strawberries and blackberries and al
varieties Of small fruit are expected
to be plentiful within short time
The rain yesterday and last night viii
be exceptionally beneficial to all va
rietics of berries.

NEW U. S. CROP REPORT
Outlook to be Succeeded
by Monthly Serial Similar to
The Crop Reporter.

Washington, D. c., May 5-The
publication of the Farmers Bulletin
entitled "The Agricultural Outlook"
will be discontinued with the issue of
April, 1905. Beginning. with the
month of May, 1915, and monthly
thereafter, or as often as may be nee
essary, data relating to agriculture,
including estimates of acreage, condi-
ton, yield, production, prices and
values of crops and live stock, in the
form of tabular statements accom-
panied by text summaries and COM
ments, will be published in a serial of
the Bureau of Crop Estimates en-
titled "The Monthly Crop Report"
The report will be printed on pages of
quarto size, and will be placed in the
hands of readers. as soon as practical
bic after the day of the month to
which the report relates.
The Monthly Crop Report is a re-
sumption, in size ard nature of ma
teriaI, of the Crop Reporter which
was discontinued, with the issue of
June 10, 1913. The publication of
statistical matter was resumed, how
ever, September II, 1913, in the Agri-
cultural Outlook.
In addition to the statistical data,
the Outlook included a number of
chapters or articles dealing with time
ly matters of production. 1t has been
found impossible to publish the Out
look quickly enough to make the crop
figures fully serviceable to the pub
lie. The cost was greater than antici-
pated, and the special articles pub
lished therein frequently were lost to
sight and failed to secure the direct
attention of farmers that the circu-
lar series of the Department or the
Weekly News Letter would give them.
The separation of the crop reports
from the other material, not directly
pertinent thereto, will enable the De-
partment to publish the details of
crop reports far more promptly, effect
economies, and make possible more d.
rect circulation of both classes of ma
terial. The issuance of the special ar
ticles is to be continued, but full pro-
vision is now made for their wide pub
LEGATION through the circular series of
the Office of the Secretary , and
through the enlarged Weekly News
Letter.

Auto Loses Stomach

Jackson Trio, on Sightseeing
Trip, AbandOn lMachine md
Finish EGpeditiOn on Foot.

Lloyd Macon, George c. Summers
and Steve Kirksey, three young men
from Jackson, drove to the Cape last
night in an automobile for a short
visit with friends in this city.
Before starting on their return trip
they decided to take a sightseeing
tour of the town. They drove through
all the business sections of the city
after which they concluded to visit the
Normal and take observations Of the
various State buildings.
After a painstaking, tedious drive
they made the ascent safely and were
gently coasting along the southern
boundary of the Normal campus when
there came a grating sound quickly
followed by a deafening clatter, after
which the machine baked.
An investigation revealed the fact
that for some unknown cause the car
had been completely stripped of its
gearing, and was in a state of total
disability. The young men were
compelled to abandon the machine and
walk back to a hotel, where they re-
manned over night.

MURDER JURY
TAKES CASE TO
BED With Them
Men Hearing Smith Case,
Fail to Reach Verdict After
Eight Hours.
DISAGREEMENT SURE.
OFFICIALS PREDICT
Only Circumstantial Evidence
Offered at Trial of Alleged
l. Negro Slayer.

The jury which has been trying Cur
ley Smith, the negro, on charge of
having murdered Ira Stout, labOrer,
last August, was sent to bed last
midnight by Sheriff Summers when
the foreman reported that no agree
ment had been reached after the
twelve men had deLberated for eight
hours.
The trial at Jackson was concluded
about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and the jury Immediately retired and
began balloting on the negro's guilt
or innocence. They were in session
for an hour and a half, when Sheriff
Summers escorted them to the hotel
for supper.
After finishing their repast they
were returned to the court house,
where they renewed their delibera-
tions. They remained in session for
several hours, but without being able
10 reach an agreement. 1t was report
ed after the jury was retired for the
night that the men stood eight to
four. 1t was not announced whether
the eight were for acquittal or con-
victiOn.
The jury will be summoned To the
court house this morning in an effort
to reach a verdict. When the men who
hold the fate of the negro began their
deliberations yesterday afternoon, it
was not believed they would consider
the case more than an hour. Officials
at the court house were doubtful last
night of a verdict being reached. The
wrangling over the case INDUCED in
by the twelve men indicates that they
are positive in their views and the
belief is that the Jury will declare it
self unable to agree and be dis
charged today.
Judge Kelly announced last night
that he would be ready to receive the
| iury's report, if it could reach an
agreement today. IF Il decision can
not be agreed upon BY this afternoon,
The twelve men probably will be dis
charged.
The evidence was ali circumstantiaI,
and this favored the negro with the
Jury. Because of the fact there was no
positive evidence that Smith slew
Stout, the alleged murderer's attor-
neys believe the Jury will disagree.
Senator Thomas F. Lane and Lee
| l.. Bowman, who were appointed by
the court to represent Smith, made the
best of their case. The State was rep
resented by Prosecuting Attorney and
c. n Motley.
| Almost a dozen witnesses were eX-
amined yesterday, among them were
ID. W. Stout, father of the dead man;
y. J. Hutson, chief Of police, who ar
rested Smith on the night of the kill
ing; DR.. f. r. Schoen, the coroner;
Paul Tuck, a friend of Stout; Dewitt
Lane, and Lottie Lambert.

AUTO SPEEDWAY OF WOOD
100000 Feet to be Used in 2Iz Mile
Track at Chicago.

Chicago. May 1.-The first shipment
of a contract of 100000 feet of yell
low pine, declared by lumberman to be
the largest contract on record, has
been received here. The pine comes
from Mississippi and Louisiana and is
for an automobile speedway under
construction here.
The speedway will be two and one
half miles in length and will be built
almost entirely of wood. Automobile
drivers believe the resiliency of the
wood will permit faster driving than
on the concrete tracks. Fifteen dri-
vers have been entered for the first
meet to be held here, June 10.

SILVER IS DELIGHTED
WITH THE COMMITTEE
City Engineer Says He Can
Handle Improvement Work
Without Trouble.

In compliance with the resolution
adopted at the meeting of the City
Council last Monday evening in which
it was agreed that the Mayor should
name a committee to act in the super
vision of the contemplated sewer con-
struction and the securing of a con-
sulting engineer to work with the City
Engineer, Mayor Rage yesterday ex-
pressed his intention to a Tribune re-
porter to name as members of the
committee, J. E. Fowler, Charles
Kaess and Edward Blumer.
In speaking of the selection of the
Sewer Committee, and the employ
ment of a consulting engineer, Mr..
Silver, the city engineer, yesterday
made the following statement:
81 am sure that the Mayor could
not have selected from the Board
three men who are more capable or
willing to perform the duties assign
ed them, although feel that the mat
ter would be given careful attention
by any committee appointed from the
present council.
GAS to the employment of a con-
sulting engineer, it is my desire to
work in harmony with the wishes of
the Board and of the citizens by whom
they are elected, and if it is their wish
that consulting engineer be employ
ed, l am glad to abide by it.
"But as to the doubts as to my COM
potency to perform this work, as ex-
pressed by some of the cOuncilmen, l
wish to say in my own defense, that

gineering an exclusive study, at La

kept up with all the engi" works
on all subjects pertaining 10 sanitary
