AN ADAMLESS EDEN
LOCATED IN KANSAS
Victoria City Is Town Founded to
the Glory of Spinsterhood.


the Glory of Spinsterhood.
Victoria City, Kan, is town
founded to the glory of spinsterhood
and exemplifcation of the ancient
truth that in the eyes of some women
man is a mere worm, who hardly
knows enough to turn when he's trod-
den upon. The town is the concrete
and growing result of an idea con-
ceived by Miss Georgia Hook.
Miss Hook and many other unmar-
ried women of the Sunflower state
have formed clubs to protect and ad-
vance the interests of unmarried wo-
men, and when the federal govern
ment announced that there were sew
eral thousand acres of land in the
southwestern part of Kansas open to
homestead entry Miss Hook took I'M
to herself a company of women of
like estate in life as herself, and each
of them took up land. Then they or
ganized a city and set about to gov
ern it on lines that commend them
selves to the eternally feminine.
Men are not absolutely denied ad-
mission into the municipal limits, but
they will be tolerated only on condi-
ton that they accept conditions as
they find them.

AUTHENTIC ESTIMATE
OF DAMAGE TO CROPS
COTTON CROP IN SOUTH RE-
PORTED DAMAGED AT LEAST
TEN PER CENT.

The farming element in the south
east is in a depressed mood over the
conditions following the storms and
continuous rains for the past few
weeks, and business conditions in
general have been considerably dis
turbed. Most of the damage done
has largely been in the states of Ala
bama and Georgia, with Alabama
probably the greater sunerer. The
flood admage throughout the section
was confined to the crops and physi-
cal properties, with very small loss
of life.
Reports from all over the sixth
federal reserve district have been
compiled by the officials of the fed
eral reserve system, and these re-
ports show that damage from high
water has not been as serious as has
been pictured by some persons. The
following extracts from the report
show the present condition of diff
ferent crops:
Cotton.
The cotton crop has been material
ly damaged by the excessive rains,
giving grass and the boil weevil the
advantage at critical period of the
growing season. Rains loosened the
ground around the roots and high
winds easily uprooted many thousand
plants. Cotton left standing has big
stalk and sappy plant with little fruit.
Practically nothing can be done to
offset the injury until the land dries
sufficiently for cultivation. Alabama
estimates are of 20 per cent damage,
Georgia 10 per cent, while cotton in
Mississippi and parts of Tennessee
and Florida is reported in good con-
dition.
Conservative estimates agree that
the crop has been damaged at least
10 per cent throughout the district.
Corn.
Thirty days ago indications pointed
to the largest and best corn crop in
many years, but the damage sustain
ed by the recent storms and over
flows has greatly reduced the pros
pect. Much corn was blown down
and the rivers and creeks damaged
all crops in the lowlands. Alabama
alone claims to have sustained loss
of S6,OOO,OOO on its corn crop. Corn
in the uplands may somewhat benefit
from the rains and offset the loss in
the lowlands. Reports from over the
district generally indicate at least a
ten per cent decrease.
Grain.
Grain reports show little improve
ment over last months reports, and
indications are that the yield will be
! considerably decreased. In the Ten
nessee wheat fields rains have con-
tinued to interfere with the thresh-
ing of wheat, and caused damage to
wheat remaining in the shock. The
damage from rust is also serious this
year.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1916-08-16

Two long strings of cars were moved
before the flames reached them.
The total loss approXimates $25,-
100000, including buildings and
goods ready for export.
Explosions at Ellis Islands Shore.
Two fire-swept, shrapnel-laden
craft, drifting about the bay menac-
ingly, at last grounded over near Ell
lis Island. There the immigration
officials quickly removed $50 for
eigners from the contagiOn wards of
the islands hospital to the Battery.
The explosions damaged the govern
ment buildings on Ellis Island to the
extent of $4,000.
Over on Bedlie's Island, where the
Statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World bears aloft the torch which
has blazed as a beacon to the OPP
pressed of every nation, consldera-
BILE damage was done. Every VIM
dow in the pedestal of the statue was
shattered. The great iron door at
the main entrance, weighing full
ton, was torn from the hinges. The
quarters of the officers and soldiers
of the regular army, stationed there
on guard were damaged, and some
of the men were cut by bits of flying
shrapnel. The electric lighting plant
on the island, which illumines the
torch held high aloft, was Jared by
the explosion, but managed to keep
working.
Several Investigations into the
causes of the disaster are being held,
with the view both of ascertaining
the cause and fixing the responsible
ity. Four persons are under arrest
charged with manslaughter in con-
nection with the explosion. They are
Edmund L. Mckenzie, president of
the National Dock and Storage Co.,
Theodore B. Johnson, president of
the Johnson Lighterage Co., Albert
M. Dickman, Lehigh Valley agent at
Black Tom, and Alexander Davidson,
superintendent of the National Docks
and Storage Co.
Mr.. johnson has made the charge
that the fire and resultant explosion
were caused by plot to prevent the
shipment of a quantity of munitions
to the allies; and it is estimated that
the fire, which caused the disaster,
broke out in two freight cars and
was deliberately set.

FOUR INCH STRIP OF LAND
CAUSES COURT PROCEEDINGS
Ten-Year-Old Bankruptcy Case Re-
opened to Clear Titles.

opened TO clear AlIIeS'
In order to clear the title to
strip of ground four inches wide
on property at 648 Broadway the I'm
ion Dime Savings Bank of New York
city has made application that the
ten-year-old bankruptcy of Peter
Banner be reopened and a trustee
appointed to be made party defend
ant in the foreclosure of the mort
gage on the property.
Pending the bankruptcy proceed
ings in April, 1906, the Broadway
Trust Company, which held a mort
gage on the property at 648 Broad
way, foreclosed and the property was
sold. The mortgage to the Broadway
Trust Company, it is alleged, omitted
a strip of ground four inches wide
between the north wall of the build
ing and the north boundary of the
property. Thus this space has not
been sold or administered in bank
ruptcy. The Union Dime Savings
Bank, which held a mortgage for
100000 from Banner, wishes the
title to the entire property cleared.
