Washington, July 25.-The Ameri. can Electric Railway association to-. day completed the evidence it desired to present to the federal electric railways commission appointed by President Wilson to investigate the financial strees of which companies throughout the country are complain irg.
 More than 50 witnesses were heard including operating officials, receiv- CTS for bankrupt roads, bankers, economists and manufacturers. vir- tually all of whom agreed that the increased costs of labor and mainten- ance had put the electric lines in an embarrassing position under their inelastic franchises prescribing a five-cent fare.
 The commission adjourned until August 4, when mayors, public off, cials interested in local trarsporta- tion and labor union representatives will be heard.

Proposal Now Before Congress for Sales Direct to the
 People.
DEMOCRATS DEMANDING
 RE-OPENING OF HEARING
Desire to Disprove Statement That There Was Undue Delay By War Department in Mak-
 ing Sales.

Washington, July 25.-Efforts of members of the house war investigat- ing committee to attempt impeach- ment of the majority committee re- port censuring the war department for delaying sale of surplus food- stuffs, and asking adoption of a pol icy of immediate distribution were blocked today by republican commit teemen.
 By strict party vote the demo crat's request for re-opening of hearings on the food stocks was de- nied. The democratic members had announced they would attempt to dis prove statements contained in the re- port. Simultaneous with their fail ure uses the direction by the republi- can members that rule be asked for immediate house consideration of the resolution calling for policy of sale at once to the consuming public. The democratic decided to submit minor ity report challenging the state- ments of the republicans.
 i1SNANoS oI plOoP'SSCIVC dI EuHIcIiJ VI democrats that there was possibil- ity of the foodstuffs falling in the hands of speculators, the republican committeeman today amended the resolutions so as to request the sales to be made directly to the consumers by the government.
 Chairman Graham, after the com mittee meeting, asserted that it has been the war departments policy to withhold foodstuffs to protect manu- featuring interests. and that subse- duent reports on other contracs would be made by the committee to prove the policv's application to various commodities as well as food. He as- serted that "the same private control of the government continues as was exercised by the council of national defense in framing war policies" MT. Floods conference with war department officials today led him to challenge the majority report in letter which was concurred in by oth- CT democrats in asking re-opening of hearings. The letter asserted the reports statement that no surplus of foodstuffs was declared for sn months was erroneous, for there had been some sales before May.
 The report also criticized the de- partment for it's failure to declare sooner the food surplus. It estimated that on July 8, the value of this Surplus stored in the United States over and above the needs of the army was as follows:
 Corn beef $24,0OO,O00: bacon $23.- OOO,OOO; hash corn beef $10,000, ,000; roast beef S2O,5OO,OOO fresh frozen meats an dpoultry $20.000,00 and canned vegetables $23.000,00.

OCTOBER COTTON GOES TO 36 CTS.,
 A NEW RECORD
All Influences Tend to Indicate Further Increase in
 Values.

New York, July 25.-New crop con- tracts crossed the 36-cent mark this week, establishing new high recoros for the present style contracts, with October selling at 36 cents, Decem- Der 36.23 and January 36.10, reflect ing a general buying movement at midweek which had for it's basis heavy rains in all parts of the belt. This upturn was preceded at the opening of the week by a gloomy feeling over the question of exchange and it's eff feet on exports. Reports late in the week that Great Britain was plan ming to establish large credits here for the purchase of cotton, taken in connection with prospects for speedy settlement of the marine strike and the announcement of the shipping board that vessels would be supplied freely for the shimpent of cotton to Europe, including Germany estab- lished confidence on the bull side, and did much to cunteract the effects of clearings and warm weather in the southwest late in the week.
 Opinions on the forthcoming gov ernment reports have changed some what as result of several private condition figures just issued, and are less bullish than they were few day ago.
 Reports from dry goods districts showed continued activity and high prices, although among buyers there is a disposition not to follow the ad- vances so keenly as they did few weeks ago.

.Hungarians Would Destroy Rumania;
 Join BOlsheviki

Paris, July 25.-A Bucharest dis patch dated Thursday says the Hun garians last Sunday started an offen- sive with eight or nine divisions, over whelmed the Rumanian advance guards and crossed the Theiss river at several points, but suffered a severe check in the northern sector of the fighting front.
 The despatch adds that Rumanianl reserves on Tuesday counter attacked and recaptured Hormezo-Vasarheiy GA miles northeast of Szegedin), but that sharp fighting continued when the despatch was filed.
 It is the intention of the Hungarlans says the despatch, to destroy Ruma- mia. which is an obstacle to their plan to link up with the Russian bolshevl- sts, expecting meanwhile that those Bulgarians and Austrians, who are dissatisfied with the peace conference decision will join the ranks of the bolshevists.

Big Falling Off In Kansas Wheat
 Crop Estimate

Topeka, Kans.. July 25.-A de- crease of more than 70,000,0OO bush- els in the Kansas wheat crop is shown in the July crop report of the Kansas state bord of agriculture, is- sued this evening. The June report indicated yield of 229,217,0O0 bush els as against a total estimated pro- duction. based upon threshing returns of 158, ,999, 200 bushels forecast to- day.
 The chief reason for this failure was the abrupt change from the wet. cool weather that prevailed all spring and summer, to the extreme ly high temperatures ten days or two weeks before harvest. An ex- cess of rain is also given as one of the chief causes for the poor show ing made.
 On the states 4,358,0O0 acres of growing corn, the report says, the condition averages 79.7 percent. This is gain of 4.3 percent in the last month. The estimated yield of pota- toes is 5.518.OO0 bushels, or an aver age of 98.7 bushels per acre.

NO INDICATION OF SLACKEN|NC
 OF PROGRESS
Dun's Finds Absence of Usual Halting of Activities in
 Summer.
New York, July 25.-Dun's tomor

New York, July 25-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 "The really noteworthy feature of the business situation is not the fact that activities are enlarging, but rather that the expansion continues with so little sign of abatement dur ing the summer period, when a dis tinct pause is usually witnessed. Yet dispatches from every section of the country, and from nearly every trade and industry, emphasize the absence of the customary seasonal halting, and the weeks advices should re- move all doubt, if any still exists, of the decisiveness and widespread scope of the after-war revival.
 "Retarding elements, such as the |disquieting labor unrest and pro- tracted wet spell along the Atlantic coast, have not been without influ- ence, but there is no general slacken- ing of progress, and new records in magnitude of transactions and in prices are not now uncommon. Where immediate wants have been largely filled by the recent vigorous pur- chasing there is less eagerness among buyers and some lines are quieter; yet few sellers are obliged to seek an out let for their products, and not a few of them are booked ahead as far as they care to be, with the markets all most daily turning more sharply in their favor.

 Monday. GIRLS WILL SERVE AS PAGES IN TWO HOUSES Present Plan is For Legislature to Convene at 12 O'Clock, Rat
 ify, and Adjourn at
 1:0O P. M.

Little Rock, July 25.-The suffrage amendment will not be ratified unan- imously by the Arkansas legislature next Monday. It is understood that Senator w. L. Ward of Marianna will lead the opposition in the senate but close poll of the body indicates that he will have a very small fol- lowing.
 In the house, Representative Dod- drudge McCulloch of Mariana is expected to vote against ratification and Henry Stevens of Columbia, will also probably vote against it.
 But there is not doubt whatever about ratification by overwhelming majority-it is not believed the op- position will be able to secure as many as 10 votes.
 The suffrage organization has been making great preparation for the meeting. One of the noticeable evidences of the new day dawning for the eternal feminine will be the appearance of girl pages in both houses, in place of the boys who have served since legislatures were in- vented. And they have arranged to give luncheon to the members Mon- day.
 If the plan of some prevails. both houses will meet at 12 o'clock, or ganize immediately, adopt the resolu- tion of ratification, and adjourn in time for 1 o'clock luncheon with the newly enfranchised half of the
