fell apart, and pieces of it
drifted down from various direc-

RUM CREW Held
On TARIFF ACT

NEW YORK, July 20 G.N.s).
When ten men, captured % miles
off the New Jersey coast on q
tug with a barge containing q
cargo of $1,000 worth of liquor
in tow, appear for hearing August
4 they will not only answer to
prohibition law violation charges
but also to the unusual charge
of conspiring to violate the tariff
act of 1880.
The basis of the latter charge
is that the men we're arrested m
American waters on a vessel
which contained foreign goods
with no papers to show how they
came by the cargo.
The charge in connection with
the tariff act carries a penalty
Of a fine of $4,000 or two years

Coast guards effected the cap
ture of the men and their cargo.
Davis Straus, of New York, was
said by authorities to be the
leader of the alleged conspirators.

Cannon At SEA.
WITH BRIDE

LONDON, July % QN.S)-

ship Arlanza, Madeira-bound, to-
day were Bishop James Cannon,
jr., Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South and Mrs. Cannon,
the former Mrs. Helen H. Nc.
Callum. &c.,. *
From Madeira the couple will
continue to Brazil before return

wedding was performed secretly
on July Is at Christ Church here,
under a special license.
Mrs. Cannon, who gave her
residence as New York, has been
Bishop Cannon's secretary for
nearly a year. She is between
20 and As years old.
She preceded Bishop Cannon
to England as guest of Sir Henry
and Lady Lunn, where she
planned to rest until Bishop
Cannon's arrival and his subse-
quent return to America.
The wedding, it was believed,
was haStened when Mrs. Cannon
was advised that an ocean trip
would be beneficial to her health.
Hurried plans we're then made
for the wedding.

about two years ago. He is noted
for his prohibition crusades and
was a bitter opponent of Alfred

VIRGINIA HIT

maryland
Memphis, Tenn, Believed
to Have Set World Mark
With z Per Cent Normal Rain

The country today continued in
the throeS of drought which, IN
some sections, has smashed rec
ordS of 40 years standing.
Despite relief through showers
to some parts of the nation, the
drought is unbroken. 1rreparable
damage has been done to crops,
many cities and towns are suffer
ing from water shortage and heat
has taken its toll of lives.
An analysis of weather records
by j. B. Kincer, chief of the Agri-
cultural Division of the United
States Weather Bureau, for Inter
national News Service, today re-
vealed the startling extent of the
long period of dry weather.
Seriousness Recognized
Although the seriousness of the
situation has become apparent
only recently, Kincer's records dis.
closed that the drought actually
began last December in an area
extending from the lower MissiS-
sippi Valley northeastward to
Maryland. Every month has added
to the deficiency of rainfall.
The most remarkable figure is
that for Memphis, Tenn. The
weather bureau there reports that
rainfall for the last nine weeks
has been but 2 per cent of nor
NAL. This is said to be an all
time record.
Only two sections of the coun-
try apparently have escaped the
blight Of the drought. Although
there has been dry weather in
South Atlantic States, relief came
through showers, and suffering
there was less than many other
places, Kincer said. New England
also has escaped, he said.
While the path OF the most ser
ious drought has moved from the
lower Mississippi Valley through
Tennessee, Kentucky, southwest
ern Ohio, West Virginia, Virgin
Ia and into Maryland, the middle
west also has suffered.
Percentages to Normal
The percentage Of rainfall to
normal during the growing sea-
son from May 20 to the latest
record, July 81, is given by Kin
Ger as follows:
Southwestern Virginia, % per cent.
Western West Virginia, ~ per cent.
Eastern Kentucky, % to 80 per cent.
Southern Indiana and Illinois. IS to
30 per cent.
western tennessee, per cent.
Southern Arkansas and Northern Lou
Agiana to 13 per cent.
Eastern Texas % to SO per cent.
Northern Mississippi. 10 to II per
cent.
southern Kansas, 80 per cent.
Southeastern Nebraska and South
western Iowa under S3 Ia per cent.
Northern Indiana and illinois. 50 to
Ohio, varied, 20 to so per cent.
Southern Michigan, SO to IS per cent.
Minnesota, SIS "a per cent
Eastern Iowa, so per cent to over
North Dakota. 40 to 81 per cent.
Eastern Montana. 30 to IS per cent.
South Dakota, under SO per cent.
Virginia Record Broken
Records of 40 years standing
the earliest weather bureau rec.
ords of all stations within States
are broken by the drought in
Virginia, West Virginia and Ken
lucky. Maryland, Kincer found,
experienced almost as dry weather
in 1925 and 1925. The nearest
approach to the present dry
period in Virginia. heNsaid' was
in. 1894.
The severity of the heat is
shown by the fact that maximum
temperatures ranged from SO to
104 from Thursday to Sunday in
an area from Nebraska to the
Middle Atlantic coast.

The Scandal Monger

Ardeth was silent turning
over in her mind the informa-
ton she had just received. She
did not doubt the truth of All
Ling's statement for a moment.
She knew the network Of rela-
tionship which bound together
San FranciSco'E Chinese. She
knew the cleverneSS Of these
excellent servants who could
hear and see all and say moth.
ing-at least to no white person.
Chinatown could ring with
the affairs of Pacific Avenue,
but Pacific Avenue would never
guess it. It was All Ling'S
personal loyalty alone which
had allowed even this much to
seep out to her.
So Cyril Underhill was The
Spy. Her face burned as she
remembered the days he had
been down here, petted and
patronized by the very women
he was secretly stabbing in the
back.
She remembered him stand
ing, dark and elegant by the
Coramandal screen, reading ex-
cerptS from the scandalouS ar
ticleS he had secretly written,
encouraged by malicious fem
mine laughter.

Ardeth's Hands Tied

Did Cecile know he was The
Spy? 1t would be like her to
appreciate the spiteful humor Of
thus being behind the scenes.
Or was Cecile deceived and
worked as well? Was this man
Of no loyalties leading her on,
too?
But All Ling was right! Ar
deth thought with a sudden
maddening sense Of impotence.
Her hands were tied with her
knowledge. If she told this to
Ken " her heart leaped with
fright. Ken would kill the sneak.
It would mean q scandal which
would bring the world down
about their ears.
To expose Cyril Underhill
would release scandals whose
ramifications led far back. An
upheaval which would shake a
city to its social depths .
No. Not yet. Wait! And in
the meantime do nothing which
could bring this scandal-monger
down upon her defenseless head.

Cupid is a sly fellow and can

BY the time Ardeth had fin

face was white and cold. She
turned to the mailing address
on the cover. Only the curt,
typewriter direction which
gave her no clue as to the
sender.
She looked up and found her
eyes caught by the gaze Of All
Ling standing opposite in the
doorway. And Ardeth knew,
that in some fashion the con.
tents Of this paper were known
to the Chinese girl.
Warm sympathy in All Ling's
gaze. 'That is a bad paper!

Carroll, but" she shrugged,
sometimes it is better to know
what our enemies are saying.

The Queen,
The Kitchen Maid

The Queen,
The Kitchen Maid
1mperious, she ruled
Her land, from sea to sea;
And there was none who dared
To question her decree.
Sometimes with gracious air,
Sometimes in scornful mood,
While cringing courtierS
Held all she did was good.
But to her court came one
To whom her heart knelt down
In spite Of all her pride,
Her wisdom and her crown.
She joyed. and yet her Joy
Marred sweet tranquility
She trembled When she found
Herself no longer free.
ImperiouS she ruled
Until she learned one day
That queens, like kitchen maids.
Must own Loves greater sway.
Poor kitchen maids, poor queens,
AlasI that this should be,
And worse, the rule still holds
For you, for me!
