OF NEGRO
BRINGS ON FIGHT

Washington, June Ex-senator Pat
Harrison of Mississippi will challenge
the Republicans Of the senate to con-
firm Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia
negro, appointed by: the president to
be register of deeds in the District Of
Columbia, in open executive session.
Senator Harrison has resolution
pending with an adverse committee
report before the senate providing for
open executive consideration of con-
irmations and treaties. The senate,
it is probable, will reject the resolu-
ton. But that will not deter Senator
Harrison from asking the Republicans
to confirm the Georgia negro in the
open to the end that the people Of
the country might know what Demo-
Gratis and Republicans think of the
appointment.

WEEK ENDING JUNE
20 BAD ON COTTON
Too Much Rain in Texas and Not
Enough in East; Boil Weevil Is
Doing Damage.

Washington, June 30.-Summary
of weather and crop condition for
the week ending June %, 1911.
Temperatures averaged high dur
ing the week in the eastern portion
of the belt, but averaged mostly be-
low normal in the western part
where rains were heavy to excessive
in most localities. Generally light to
moderate showers occurred east of
the Mississippi river where general
good rains are needed in most Sec
tions. There was too much rain for
cotton in Texas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas, and it was too dry in many
eastern districts, especially in Geor-
gia. Cotton made too rank growth in
most localities west of the Mississippi
liver with no progress in cultivating
in the northwestern part of the belt
md fields are generally very grassy.
Cotton progress was mostly satisfac-
ory in central and northeastern por-
tions of the belt but while cotton is
withstanding the drought we'll in
Georgia, little or no progress is re-
ported. Weevil activity is increasing
\ most districts. Weevil are very
active in Georgia, Notwithstanding
the very dry weather there. Corn,
meadows and minor crops are pro-
crossing satisfactorily in most west
Gulf States, but rain is badly needed
in much of the southeast.

EUROPE OWES i. S.
BILLION INTEREST
MELLON SAYS NO
SUGGESTION HAS BEEN MADE
THAT UNITED STATES AC-
CEPT GEMAN REPARATlON
BONDS FOR DEBTS ..

Washington, June 30.-Aprroxi-
mately one billion dollars interest
was owed the United States oy Eu-
ropean debtor nations up to about
May Is, treasury officials told the
senate finance committee today in
explaining the administration bill to
give the secretary of the treasury
broad authority in funding the Allied
debts. Assistant Secretary Wadsworth
placed the amount of interest due at
$943,534,70.
Secretary Mellon told the commit
zee that no suggestion has been made
that the United States accept German
reparation bonds as substitutes for
the Allied obligations, and declared
that the treasury had no intention of
inviting any such proposal.
Mr.. Mellon said the only funding
negotiations entered into were with
Great Britain and that they had been
of a preliminary nature.
Questioned specifically as to the
provision of the bill authorizing the
treasury to accept bonds Of any for
eign country in lieu of those of the
debtor nations, the treasury secretary
said he thought "it necessary that the
authority be made broad enough to
take care Of any contingency which
might arise"
"There is nothing specifically con-
templated along that line" he added
"but it is deemed advisable that the
authority be given"
Mr.. Mellon described as a remote
.uggestion ian opinion Of Senator
Reed, democrat, Missouri, that the
bill as drafted, might allow the treas
ury to accept Italian bonds for the
French debt, French bonds for the
British debt and so forth.
Asked if he would object to elimi-
nation of German bonds as substitute
bligations, the secretary reiterated
MS belief that the authority should
broad and unlimited.

TAFT CONFIRMED
SUPREME JUDGE
APPROVED IN
EXECUTIVE SESSION-NO AS
SURANACE THAT HE WILL
ACCEPT PLACE BUT HARDING
THINKS HE WILL.

Washington, June 30.-The nomi-
nation of the former President Will
lam Howard Taft is chief justice
of the United States Supreme Court
was confirmed late Thursday by the
Senate.
Mr.. Taft's nomination was con-
firmed in an executive session of the
Senate behind closed doors, but it is
understood that Senators Borah, Re-
publican of Idaho, and Johnson, Re-
publican of California, objected to
the confirmation and voted against
it,.
1t became known later that Sena-
tors LaFollette, Republican of Wis
consin and Watson, Democrat of
Georgia, also voted against the con-
irmation. {
The vote was so for; four against.
The nomination of Mr.. Taft was
sent to the Senate late Thursday.
The appointment of Taft was not
unexpected, as he has been the most
prominent candidate for the position
since the death of Chief Justice
White six weeks ago, and his friends
have worked increasingly in his be-
half.
In making the announcement. Of
Mr.. Taft's appointment President
Harding explained that he had not
intended to make the nomination
until the October term of court but
had done so only because the at
torney general was anxious to have
the new chief justice installed and
"made factor in the reorganiza-
ton Of the court"
Mr.. Taft himself has not been ap-
prised of the nomination, the Presi-
dent said, and probably would not
,e until he read it in the newspa-
pers. President Harding has re.
ceived no assurances from Mr.. Taft
that he will accept the post, although
ne expressed the belief that he would
do so.

NO CUTS POSSIBLE
IN RAILWAY RATES
CHIEF SPOKESMAN FOR RAIL-
ROADS OF THE COUNTRY AD-
DRESSES MANUFACTURER
CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA.
CUT in COSTS.

Philadelphia, June S0.-Com-
plete abrogation of the national
agreements and reduction Of operat-
ing coasts, the largest part Of which
is in the payrolls, must be effected
before railorad rates generally can
be reduced, E. T. Whittier, chief
spokesman for the roads before the
United States Railroad Labor Board,
told the trades council of the Manu-.
facturers Club here.
Wage reductions recently ordered
by the federal board, he said, repre-
sents but very meagre part Of the
actual pay increases granted rail
road employees since 1914.
"That, however, is not the most
important factor now," the speaker
declared. "The real problem is that
no relief whatsoever can be secured
from the intended abrogation of the
national agreements until the rail-
road managers and the men agree
upon mutually satisfactory substi-
tutes for them. The relief is entirely
problematical. Yet whatever pros
pect there is of reducing rates gen.
orally must depend altogether on a
reduction of operating costs-and
the largest part of this cost is in the
payrols.
The public has been misled into
believing, Mr.. Whittier asserted, that
the labor board cancelled the nation
al agreements by reducing en-
ployees' wages and ordering changes
in working condition. Union lead
ers, he said, do not recognize such
to be the case and are preparing fu-
ture campaigns upon the basis Of
the agreements still being in force.

MT. CARMEL BANKER
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
CASHIER OF BANK o F MI.
CARMEL CONFESSES SHORT
AGE OF EIGHT TO NINE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
- TAKES NUx VOMICA.
Anderson Daily Mail.

Anderson Daily Mall.
Charles Brown, cashier Of the
3ank at Mt. Carmel, is today in a Sc
;ous condition form a dose Of. nux
vomica which he took yesterday in
an effort to end his own life, follow
ing his full confession of shortage
at the bank of between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Browns confession, it was under
stood, came just before w. Frank
McGee, of Anderson, recently elect
ed president Of the bank and Assist
ant State Bank Examier Townsend
started an examination Of the
banks affairs. knowledge that some
thing was wrong at the bank had
been forwarded Mr.. McGee and he
with the assistant bank examiner
went to Mt. Carmel to begin an in
vestigation. When this investiga-
ton started. Brown made full con-
fession to the officers and directors
of the bank.
Brown, it is said, offered his prop
erty to the bank, and this PROPOSE
ton was likely accepted. His indem-
nifty bond holds good, and according
to information received here, he
will be given a chance to make up
the deficit.
Physicians are hopeful Of bringing
Brown through the illness caused by
the poison. Mr.. MeGee is still in
MT. Carmel and believes that the
problems of the bank can be worked
out without the bank closing. The
Branch bank at Calhoun Falls is in
.fine shape, according to statement
made today.
Telephone communication with
Mt. Carmel is impossible today, ow-
ing to damage to the line, and no
report was learned of Browns con-
dition.
