Hot Weather Fine for Corn,
Says g. s. Bureau.
Potatoes and Tobacco Suffer for
Lack of Rain.

Washington. July 2s-The sustained
heat of the past ten days, registering
record high marks throughout the
middle west. was boon to the corn
farmer. according to the United
States Department of Agriculture
Corn crops says the government
experts. ARE progressing very salts
factorily and are tasseling as far north
as the Ohio valley in the east, and
Minnesota and North Dakota in the
west"
More rain must come within the
next two or three weeks, however, or
according to the government crop
men, the corn crop will suffer. This
is the critical period for the crop.
Truck gardening crops, including po-
tatoes and tobacco, have suffered from
the intense heat throughout the CEN
trail and northern states.
The temperature was too high for
spring wheat in North Dakota and
Minnesota and some rust has devel-
oped in North Dakota, South Dakota
and Minnesota.
The weather conditions were favor
able for haying over the northern part
of the United States. The lack of rain,
says the department. is adversely af-
fecting vegetation on the Rocky noun
tsins and central great plains region
and in the central valley states.

GREATER NEWSPAPER EXPENSE

IFrom Kansas City Star, July 27.1
Newspapers generally have assumed
that the public was not interested in
their business arrangements Such an
unprecedented situation has arisen.
however. in connection with the ad
vance in the cost of print paper-and
for that matter of practically every-
thing that enters into newspaper pro-
duction--that newspapers all over the
country are being compelled to make
readjustment of advertising and sub
sCription rates to meet the new co1di-
tions.
White paper is the chief item of ex-
pense in newspapers of general cir
culation, and in the last few months
its price has advanced 20 per cent. so
per cent, and even in some cases 100
per cent. For metropolitan newspa- :
pers this means an added cost Of nro-
duction of several hundred thousand
dollars year. The advance in other
materials. while not so great. is very
material, and increases the gravity ~
the problem.
The magazines are feeling the same
pressure. The August issue of The
Worlds Work, for instance. devotas
considerable space to the paper situa
ton, while Life, the Indepepdent ana
other periodicals have explained to
their readers the necessity of Changes

New York Bank Brings Suit to Quiet

New York. July 28.-To clear the
title to four inches of ground on
Broadway bankruptcy proceedings ten
years, old have been re-opened against
Feter Banner, one time wealthy real
estate operator. He became bank

mortgages on No. s4S Broadway to
the Union Dime Savings bank for

pany for $4,000. All actions in bank
ruptcy were later dropped but Banner
was never discharged by the court.

is alleged, the mortgage given to the
Broadway Trust company and exer-
cised years ago by a foreclosure sale,
cmits the mention of four inches be-
tween the norther1y wall of the build

General Sukhomlinoff, who is now

Hughes Speech To Be Based on
Trio of Charges.
Political eyes and Ears OF
Capita1' Await Monday.
HUGHES is TO Be NOTIFIED
His Reply Will Be Keynoter
for Fall Campaign.
Chairman Willcox's Statement
Considered a Forecast.

Washington. July 2s.-Administra-
ton leaders have their political eyes
and ears turned toward next Monday.
On that day Charles E. Hughes will
receive official notification of his
nomination for president-and will re-
ply with an address marking the open
ing of his campaign.
Those close to the president say they
are not worried" about what the for
mer justice may say. Nevertheless
they are certainly "keenly interested"
They believe the speech will be d.
vided into three main features:
A criticism of the presidents Mexi-
can policy and foreign policy.
General charges that the Demo-
cratic party is unable to cope with the
business upheavals bound to come
after the war.
Appeal for the restoration of the
Republican party to power 'to bring
a return of respect abroad and bust
ness-like administration at home"
Wilson Already LOADED"
The president has not waited for
Hughes speech to prepare his own
address of acceptance. He has been
working on 1t for some time. One
of his intimate friends expressed the
belief today that the first draft was
completed, subject to change should
the Republican candidate spring any
surprises. Senator James, who VIII
notify the president of his nomination,
is, however, waiting on Hughes speech
Monday before outlining what he will
say at the notification meeting in
New Jersey.
VIII Break News on Mexico.
New York, July 2S.-First formal
indication that Mexico will be the main
issue on which the Republicans will
attack the Wilson administration in
the presidential campaign was con-
tanned in a statement issued today by
National Chairman Wilcox.
The statement denied the Repub-
! Ican party's criticism of the handling
of the Mexican problem was die
tated" by any sinister influence. and
J bitterly assailed Wilson's "maladmin-
/ istration of affairs there" -
The Wilcox statement was as fol-
lows:
"AII statements made in newspapers
or elsewhere to the effect that the at
the situation in Mexico is dictated by
any sinister influence, corporate or
otherwise. are contrary to the facts.
Our interest in Mexican affairs IS he
maladministration of American rela-
tions with Mexico and the various
Mexican factions.
Mexico Is a Vital Issue.
| THE weakness of the Wilson ad-
ministration in dealing with the
Mexican question is so fully before the
American people that 1t is vital is
sue in this campaign.
1T is therefore not impossible for
the Democratic party to evade the re-
sponsibility for conditions in Mexico
4 by ascribing Interior motives. The is
/ sue is plain and clear cut. 1t is the
principle of the Republican party to
insist upon the full protection of
American citizens and American
rights"

FIND MORE EVIDENCE
Search Discloses Second instrument in
Girl Murder Mystery.

OIney, Ill, July 2S.-Portions of a
second catheter, which authorities be-
lieve Hinterliter used in his attempt
to perform an illegal operation on
Elizabeth Radcliffe, were found today
near the place where it is believed
the girl died.
The finding of the portions started
anew the most minute search over the
ground in the vicinity. Sheriff West
is being aided in this search by the
two brothers of Miss Ratcliffe, who
came here from Indiana after the
burial of their sister on Monday.
The brothers are very anxious to
collect evidence that will fix the crime
upon some one, and are untiring in
their efforts to unearth something
new.
The authorities have intinnated for
listed and the finding of the portions
today caused local citizens to believe
the state has some conclusive evi-
dence of Hinterliter's guilt which it
is withholding until the proper time
Girl Lured to Spot?
AS new facts came in whispered
stories from Elizabeth's girl friends,
they revealed a deliberate conspiracy
to lure the girl to the lonely spot
where she died. They present a more
horrible story than has been suspected
ever by Hinderliter's accusers.
The revelations of Elizabeth 8
friends were pieced together to show
that her young farmer lover had
soothed the agony of her fears of dis
grace by promising a midnight meet
ing on the isolated country road with
two physicians who were to direct the
operation necessary to destroy the evil
dence of her unwise love.
These stories tend to show that
Hinderliter then persuaded two of his
Texas friends to take the roles of
the supposed physicians and that when
they quailed at the last moment at the
prospect of Witnessing the girls suf-
fering, Hinderliter did not give up his
plan, but, instead, carried it out alone.
Did Boy Friends Pose as Doctors?
These boys, said to be Earl Berry
and c. S. Jones, have just about talk
ed themselves into jail Sheriff West
said last night:
They have told so much about their
part in the affair that their friends
are already calling Jones, Doc Jones.
1t is a ghastly joke and if the states
attorney will allow it, 1 will bring both
of them in with me tonight"

White Can't Discuss Failure of Former
Deal for Danish Isles.

Lenox, Mass. July 2S.-Henry
White, who. as secretary of the UniteA
States embassy in London in 1909 un-
der Secretary Hay. conducted the
negotiations for the purchase of the
Danish West Indies for SIS, 900, 900. was
asked at the golf links today to make a
statement concerning the failure of
the Danish government to ratify the
sale at that time. He said:
THE lower chamber of the rigsdag
at Denmark agreed to the negotiations
by a large vote but the upper cham
ber was a tie. One member of the
upper chamber was absent and i'll. He
was taken to the government house in
a special train and cast the deciding
vote against the proposed sale.
You will find the record of my
negotiations in my report. You must
understand my position not to discuss
the reasons why the purchase failed.
1t would not be diplomatic, either, ard

of the negotiations for the purchase

RELIEF FARTHER OFF
The Chance for Rain Is Growing
Less Day by Day.

Kansas sweltered again today under
copper sky and the weather man
has announced that the chances of
rain and relief from the hot weather
are remote. The longer 1t stays dry,
according to s. D. Flora. local OBJ
server, the less chance there is of local
general change all over the country.
No rain I'll anywhere in Kansas last
night and temperatures were high
over the entire state. The wind,
which made from 10 to IL miles an
hour yesterday, promised to afford
some relief again today but this morn
ing it was thought that the mercury
would climb to the century mark.
Last night was the warmest this
year with one exception. The mer-
curry at o'clock in the evening
showed SO degrees and at 6 o'clock
this morning the reading was IA de-
grees. This is degrees above the
normal night temperature for this
date. The highest reading Thursday
was 81 degrees. The forecast calls
for generally fair weather with con-
tinued high temperatures tonight and
Saturday.
The longer it stays dry the more
wind will blow and this will give
some hope to Kansans who are anx-
iously watching the weather. The
wind. however, is the worst thing pos
sible for the corn as it dries the
ground more rapidly. The Kaw river
is at standstill today at a stage of
5.6 feet
The highest temperature on record
for this date is 105 degrees, estab
lished in 1910. The low record, co
degrees occurred in 1891. On JULY
2s, 1902, rain of 1873 inches was
recorded
