OLD TIME CALIFORNIA
MISSIONS RESTORED
TUo in Service and Third to
Be Undertaken.

WASHINGTON, July 23.--Two OF the
great and epoch making Spanish mis-
sions of California. despoiled by the
Mexican Government eighty or more
years ago, have been restored by Catho-
lies, and third is now to be restored
because a splendid road has been built
quite near to it and the United States
Government. cooperating with that Of
California, is to take up irrigation plans
for the famous valley in which 1t is situ-
ated. This third mission is that of San
Antonio. located in lonely valley some
twelve miles from King City and forty
miles or more from Monterey.
San Antonio mission was founded by
the famous Juniper Sierra. On the Feast
or San Antonio. June 13. there was held
service under the ruined walls of the
once great mission church and house.
preparatory to a campaign, headed by
Archbishop Hanna of San Francisco. to
obtain the restoration of the mission.
The story is that Junipero began the
mission in the wilderness by hanging
a bell In tree and ringing 1t until
somebody appeared. In this case the
somebody proved to be two frightened
Indians Not only did this Mexican mis-
sionary establish a wonderful mission
church and house, but he made the DESC
late valley blossom with fruit and other
eatable things. getting wealth for his
mission and Indians and others who set
tied there. With the vandalism of the
Mexican Government and the ruin of the
mission came also desolation for the val
ley and starvation for its people.

South Carolina.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD
COLUMBIA, July 24.-The condition of
the cotton crop in South Carolina was
estimated to-day to be SO per cent. of
normal. against 65 per cent. on June 25
and the production was estimated at
$4,000 bales, as compared with approx
imately 10000 for 1920. Heavy rains
throughout the last two weeks and the
boil weevil increase, due to these rains.
Is fast putting the crop downward, and
the American Cotton Association predic-
ton this week will show a still lower
percentage.
Throughout the cotton belt the rains
and boil weevil have reduced the per-
centage and the reduction in acreage of
2S.4 in the belt and 27 per cent. in South
Carolina means possibly the smallest
crop since 1895. The acreage in South
Carolina Is estimated at 2.190.000 and
in the entire belt at 26.519.000. Re-
duced fertilizer usage and the general
late aud wet spring also have caused a
much retarded crop. the Department of
Agriculture says.

JACKSON, July 24.-The cotton crop in
Mississippi is good in few counties.

That means that where individual stalks
should show twenty to thirty nearly
grown bolls, only eight or ten are found,
and may spell disaster, as August is the
month in which the boil weevil gets in
its heaviest work. Only grown bolls, or
what is known as the bottom crop, can
escape his assaults. The weed is siiaD
because planted late on account of cold.

overfiows making much replanting neces-
sary.
Under these conditions Mississippi es-
Inmates the shortest crop in her history,
perhaps 100000 bales. There was an
acreage reduction of 2S per cent. and an
other to 10 per cent. loss in acreage
because of floods and damage.

Alabama.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
MONTGOMERY. July 24.-The last re-
port, made on July 1, gave the condition
OF Alabama's cotton crop as 81 per cent.
OF normal, with prospective yield for
the season of $4,000 bales The State
Market Bureau has not sufficient num-
Der of reports on hand so far this month
to determine the condition. Probably
judging from recent heavy rains which
have fallen in all parts of the State,
however. conditions should show marked
Improvement. The rains. on the other
hand. probably will cause a considerable
lowering OF the estimated yield. The
weather is very favorable to the propa-
cation of the boil weevil, which is re-
ported to be very numerous in Alabama
this year. and which. under sucn IA
vorable conditions. will increase rapidly
in numbers.

Peter Martin got out of bed in his
pajamas in room S12A at the Hotel Nor
mandie, Broadway and Thirty-eighth
street, about l o'clock yesterday morn
ing. according to testimony in jefferson
Market Court, crawled out of his win
dow and walked along the ledge into

who appeared to be sleeping soundly
and according to the charges, Martin
searched the dresser drawers and some
hand bags. and departed via the window
with a wallet.
While Martin worked. however, It
was said his movements were followed
in the dim light from the street by the
anxious eyes of John z. Clarke of Chi
cago. representative of Runkel & Co,
chocolate manufacturers. who occupied
room S12.
AS MIR. Clarke explained in court, he
is small man. and Martin was quite
husky Not wishing to risk an encour-
ter, Mr.. Clarke made no outcry. He
merely waited until his visitor slipped

position where he could see the man
disappear into the room adjoining. Then
Mr.. Clarke called up the hotel night desk

sent up.

$40 bill hidden in telephone book. Be

Mr.. Clarke exhibited signs of distress.
He confessed to the Magistrate that he
was strapped except for the contents
Of the wallet, and although the grand
larceny charge had to be sustained, the
Magistrate directed that SIS OF tho
money be turned over to him. Mr..
Clarke promised to have his testimony

1t is noted that the plant, where far

F1attered by Russian Ofer.
Commenting editorially on what he
calls this remarkable document from
Moscow" General Secretary Schlossberg
says that while 'the final and authori-
tative word in the matter of this invita-
ton TO join the ranks of the Interna-
tional Council will be said by the or
ganization in due time,' he feels that he
expresses the sentiments of the over
whelming majority of the members of
the Amalgamated, IF not of each one of
them, when l say that we feel highly
flattered by the invitation"
But there Is even greater signifcance
to be found in the invitation and the
fact that Hillman has gone under In
structions from his general executive
board, In the recent decision of the
board to levy a $4,000 national de-
fence fund during the coming year In
preparation for the lapse of the work
ing agreements with manufacturers IN
most OF the clothing centres of this
country and Canada next year An
assessment Of $40 already has been
ordered to raise S3,500.000 of this fund
during the remainder of 1921.
In the paper called Moscotu, the organ
of the Third Congress Of the Third In
ternational, Lozovsky, who signed the
cablegrams to the Amalgamated, tells
of some plans of the International Con-
gress Of Red Trade Unions, which the
Amalgamated is now deemed entitled to
join, and one of these plans is "the
creation Of an international strike fund"
and the working out of a uniform
method of defence and offence" to be
used in all countries as the weapon OF
these Red Unions to bring about the
dictatorship Of the proletariat
The plans of the Amalgamated, there
fore. for S5.000,000 national defence
fund" seems to be following closely
along the lines of the international
strike defence fund" which Lozovsky
proposes. Lozovsky's principle of ac-
ton for the Red Unions may be summed
up in this phrase of his In an interview
printed in MoscoiU:
The Congress will most likely take
the position that workers control over
industry can be realized only after the
revolution. All talk of workers con-
troll OF industry. without the power in
the hands of the workers, is so much
wasted energy. Not the right of the
workers determines their control over
industry, but their might

the anonymous writer sees him. upon
the subject of Mr. Wilson he is equally
cocksure:
"History arranged the greatest stage
of all time and it placed a lot or little

he the nearest great; an unworidly per-
son summoned from cloister, with the
vision of genius and the practical inca
pacity of one who runs away from life,
hating men but loving all mankind, elo-
ouent but inarticulate in large way,
incapable of true self expression In his
chosen field of action, so self-centred
that he forgot the worlds tragedy and
merged II into his own, the everlasting
ref,ltat of the optimistic notion that
where there is crisis fate produces a
man big enough to meet It,"
OF Secretary Hughes-'he prevails

not excessive praise, for minds are not

LITTLE Rock, July 24.-The percentage
condition of Arkansas cotton for the
thirty day period ended July is Is 1876,
according to a bulletin compiled from
100 selected reports and issued by the
Arkansas Cotton Trade Association. This

1t is estimated that 40 per cent. of the
cotton is seasonably on time, according
to the bulletin. and of this portion one
third is eleven days early, while the re-
