DEBS BEGINS PROBE OF IL Former Socialist Candidate for 'President Is in;West Virginia Investigating Conditions (Bv Associated Press.) CHARLESTON, W. Va., May T9.—Eu gene V. Debs. Socialist candidate for president of the United States in the last election; Victor L. feerger, former Socialist member of congress from Mil waukee, and Adolph Sernor, of Illinois, ^.re expected here today to investigate ■ conditions of miners in \Vest Virginia, as a result of the strike of coal min ers in Kanawha county. Appointed a committee by the na- * tiojial Socialist • party, the three men, it is said, have been authorized to send a copy of their findings to Presi dent Wilson. The situation in the coal fields of West Virginia is undecided. Ir. the Kanawha field there seems to be a condition of peace, the miners having E returned to work as a result of propo sals of Governor Hatfield, providing *for a check weighman, a tonnage of "•2,500 pounds, a semi-monthly pay and ^prevention r i discrimination. The United Mine Workers of Amer ica as union, however, has not been recognized by the operators, a majori ty of the American miners have Quit ihe Kanawha field and accepted posi tions in adjoining coal fields. Conditions in the New River coal are uncertain. In this field recently was organized district No. 29, United Mine Workers of America, with a mem bership of 19,000. The coal operators granted all • sked by Governor Hatfield in his recommendations to the Kan awha field, but refused to meet with the miners. m he resolution of Senator Kern, of Indiana, now before the United States senate, providing for a federal inves tigation of the labor trouble is ac cepted here and in the coal fields with conflicting emotions. A majority of the miners, however, favor the federal government intervention. In addition to several supreme court decisions giving the right to the state executive to declare martial law, sus pend the functions of the civil author ities and •°rrest and detain persons whom he believes are aiding and abet ting an insurrection. Judge Samuel L Littlcpass, of the circuit court, yes terday upheld the right of the gover nor to do such things* under procedure or martial law’.

ROME, Ga., May 16.—A step looking toward the building of new bridges across the rivers in the city of Rome was taken yesterday afternoon, when a conference committee was appointed to consider the question in all its bear ings. This committee includes mem bers of the board of county commis sioners, the city council and the grand Jury. An effort will be made by them to de termine under whose Jurisdiction the building of the new bridges should come. Chairman Pollock voiced the opinion of the county board of com missioners when he said that the board realized the need. for better bridges, but wanted to be assured of the law in the case before proceeding to act. He stated that the county was finan cially, able to erect the bridges, either .X by a bond issue or special tax levy, and that some means to accomplish the desired end would be found whenever the board was convinced that it had the right to proceed, or that the duty to proceed rested upon it. The committee appointed ' to investi gate the question of jurisdiction will begin their work in the next few days. STRAIN OF LONG HOURS' IS TELLING ON WILSON President Puts in Fourteen Hours a Day-ls the Hardest . Worked Man in America WASHINGTON, May 19.—“The hard est worked man in America,” is the title given to President Wilson by his private secretary. Executive decisions that direct the af fairs of the nation are made at night by the pi*fesident. The central control station of the great machinery of government is a se cluded room on the second floor of the white house, where Mr. Wilson works alone in silence while the world sleeps. A block leather-covered note book, which nobody but himself reads, is the Domesday book on America, for it con tains th£. secrets of state and the thoughts of the president written by his own hand. This book has loose leaves that can be detached and fresh ones put in. The sheets are the size of business let ter paper. Most of the entries are made in shorthand “pot hooks,” a sys tem of writing which Mr. Wilson has practiced for many years.

Coffee contains a poisonous drug—caf feine—which injures the delicate nerv ous system and frequently sets up dis ci ease in one or more organs of the b<*dy, if its use is persisted in. “I had heart palpitation and nerv ousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by cof fee. He advised me to leave it off, but I thought I could not,” writes a Wis consin lady. "On the advice of a friend I tried Postum and it so satisfied me I did not care for coffee after a few days trial of .. Postum. “AS weeks went by and I continued to use Postum my weight increased from 98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used it a year now and am stronger than I ever was.

Wholesale grocers re port a fair volume of trade, but other lines are quiet. Scarcity of money is still noted. Cotton has been planted, but is badly in need of rain. Truck also suffers for the want of moisture. Chattanooga—Jobbers in all lines re port trade good. Retail merchants say business is very active as a conse quence of the Confederate veterans’ re union, which meets here next week. Con tinued dry weather retards farm work and has cut the strawberry yield one- half. Memphis—Wholesale trade is active and future orders are being booked free ly. Retail trade is good. Collections are only fair. Farmers need rain. Atlanta—Trade, wholesale and retail, is only fair. Merchants are ordering only in small quantities, and there is an inclination to buy only for immediate needs. Farmers have finished planting, but very little cotton is up, and there is urgent need of rain. Savannah—Retail trade is better than last week, but wholesale dealers report only a fair volume of business. Cotton has been planted, and the acreage is larger than last year. Local rains have been beneficial, but more moisture is needed. Sawmills are able to get lum ber now tnat has not been available for a year or two. Collections in all lines are slow. Birmingham—Pig iron is quiet. Lum ber is fairly active. Retail merchants are doing their usual business for this season of the year. Wholesale dealers in dry goods and groceries report a good volumB of business. Collections are slow. Mobile—Farming conditions are fa vorable. Vegetable crops are now going forward, several cars of Irish potatoes having already been shipped. Jobbers in all lines report trade fairly active, and retail trade Is 'good. Collections are fairly good. Montgomery—Trade conditions quiet, with general complaints as to collections. Cotton planting is reported being from three 'to four weeks late, with very poor stands. Jackson—Trade is active, but col lections are slow. Seasonable rains and farm weather benefit crops. New Orleans—Continued good weath er has helped crops considerably, and reports from various sections indi cate a hopeful view of the situation. A large area in cotton , and corn is be ing grown, and the crops are doing well, though in some localities the sea- sun is a little late. Boll weevil damage is passing and more confidence is felt in the future. Sugar planters are a bit unsettled, and the acreage in sugar cane is somewhat under normal. The weather favors rice planters, and the outlook seems good for a large crop. The strawberry season just closing has been a very successful one. General trade conditions are rather quiet and jobbers report having few new ac counts. Retail trade is fair. Collections with jobbers are somewhat slow. San Antonio—Wholesale trade and collections are fair. Wholesale gro cers say country collections are a little slow, but that local collections are good. Heavy lumber is active. Build ing operations are quiet. THE CROPS. Crop reports are less uniformly fine this week, owing to complaints of dry weather affecting oats, cotton and vege tables in parts of the sections raising these products. Winter wheat crop prospects are, however, excellent, and a bumper yield of this cereal seems almost certain at this writing. Spring wheat seeding is finished, and the crop in the surplus states has been benefited by cool, damp weather, s© that a good start has been secured. Oats have been retarded by dry weather in parts of Illinois and Indiana and in the leading Atlantic states, and that crop lacks the uniformly good start secured a year ago, while the area will hardly be as large. Corn plowing is finished and planting is making good progress in the west. Warmer, moist weather would help that cereal. Showers, relieving drought in some sections, have fallen in parts of the south, but a good general rain with warm growing weather is much %o be desired for cotton. Killing frosts in nearly all northern states early ip the week did some dam age to early vegetables and fruits. Dry weather is complained of at most points in the Atlantic seaboard states and has cut the southern strawberry crops. Governor Refuses to Send Troops, and City Begins Re ceivership Proceedings CINCINNATI, O., May 19.—The re fusal of Governor Cox to send troops to this city to control the strike of the employes of the Cincinnati Trac tion company, after spectacular riots in the early part of the day had influenced Mayor Hunt to ask for militia, was fol lowed late today by the filing of a pe tition by the city of Cincinnati for a receiver for the company. Judge Geor- ghegan of the common pleas court be fore whom the action was brought, heeding pleas of attorneys for the trac tion company for more time in which to -answer, adjourned court until Mon day when he is expected to pass judg ment. Rioting was almost continuous to day from the time the company at tempted to operate cars until they withdrew all cars from the streets at noon. vv nile a riot that occurred at the Brighton barns this morning prob ably proved the most serious, one a little later at Fourth and Vine streets was the most spectacular. Small steel beams, barrels of plaster and bags of cement were hurled upon a passing car from the upper floors of a 34 story building. The car was wrecked but no person was seriously hurt. Members of the crew and other com pany employes riding on the first car out of the Brighton barns were as saulted and beaten almost into insensi bility. Three of them are at a hospital in precarious conditions. Various other small riots occurred in which the crews of the cars were beaten or forced to ffte. Mayor Hunt asked Governor Cox for troops after the riot at Fourth and Vine streets. Receiving a .negative answer he appealed to adjutant General vv'ood. When he had received no reply from the adjutant general, he directed City Solicitor Bettrm-.n to file suit for a receiver. Governor Cox in refusing to send the militia sak. he had information that the police had not exhausted their re sources to prevent rioting. Mayor Hunt told the governor riot ing was prevalent in this city and that the police were powerless to cope with the situation in case anything like a regular schedule was attempted by the traction company. Tonight the system is completely tied up and the strikers appear content.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, May 19.—Arizona’s new alien-land law is not regarded here as seriously complicating negotiations with Japan,^ because the act does not contain the same direct bar against Jap anese as the California act. It is expected, however, that because of its adverse effect upon Mexican land owners iij Arizona, a protest will be forthcoming from the Mexican govern ment, even in view of the rather ir regular status of the diplomatic rela tions between America and Mexico. With both the American and'Japanese governments awaiting on the final ac tion of Goveror Johnson, the possibil ity of postponing the operation of the proposed California law by invoking the referendum is again being discussed in official circles. The overwhelming majority for the Webb bill in both branches of the Cali fornia legislature makes some Califor nians in Washington doubtful if the necessary 20,000 signatures for a ref erendum could be secured. .

"There is no law to permit of this exchange now, but the legislature is in session and it can very easily be ar ranged. I will sign papers, waiving every human right and will gladly sur render myself at San Quentin to take. Ruef’s place at once.” WILSON SENDS SENATE SEVERAL NOMINATIONS WASHINGTON, May 16.—The presi dent today sent the senate the nomina tion of D.
