CHANGES WILL BLIIAADE
IN NICARAGUAN TREATY
United States Has No Desire
to Prevent Central Amer
ican Union
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. July 28.—Important
modifications are to be made in tne
proposed treaty with Nicaragua by
which the United States would establlsn
a protectorate over the southern repub
lic. It has been discovered that by the
terms of the agreement originally out
lined by Secretary Bryan, Nicaragua
would have been prevented from ever
Joining with other republics to form one
- Central American union.
This was not contemplated by the ad
ministration when the treaty was pro
posed, and the suggestion has created
suspicion among other Central Ameri
can countries. At a conference today
between Secretary Bryan and members
of the senate foreign relations com
mittee, it was agreed that tne original
draft of the treaty should be changed
and definite statements be included in
the compact, providing that it should
not stand in the way of any ruture ac
tion Nic&rgua might decide to take
toward joining a Central American com
mission.
GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE.
Secretary Bryan assured the com
mission today that the government Is
making no direct proposals to other
Central American countries for similar
treaties. The Nicaraguan situation is
peculiar, he said, because thot country
proposed the negotiations and asked for
the establishment of the American pro
tectorate. In the case of other coun
tries the United States is “holding itself
open” to treat with them, if the sug
gestion comes from their governments.
The United States will not adopt an
aggressive attitude, Secretary Bryan
said, in attempting to negotfate any
additional treaties.
The unexpected turn given to the
Nicaraguan matter resulted from the
fact that Secretary Bryan had incor
porated in the treaty the general terms
o fthe so-ealed Platt amendment relat
ing to Cuba.
TERMS OF TREATY.
Among other things, the treaty would
stipulate:
“That the government of Nicaragua
shall never enter into any treaty or
other compact with any foreign power
pr powers which will impair or tend
►to impair the independence of Nicar
agua.”
Another section would provide:
“That the government of Nicaragua
consents that the United States may ex
ercise the right to intervene for the
preservation of Nicaraguan independ
ence.”
The United States has no intention
of preventing a Central American union,
it is understood, and will modify the
rigid language of the proposed treaty,
to make this clear.
The senate committee proposed to go
over the treaty in detail next week, and
will recommend other amendments, chief
among which, it is understood, will be
one designed to protect the United
States against any obligation for the
outstanding debts of Nicaragua. A fur
ther conference with Secretary Bryan
wil be held- Tuesday.
Coroner Orders Grave
Opened to Probe a
Crime and Finds Cat
DALTON, Ga., July 28.—To a defunct
Catoosa county cat has come the dis-
* Unction of having an “inquest” held
over its body, according to a story
which reaches here from Ringgold asnd
over which people of the county north
of here are enjoying a hearty laugh.
The inquest, however, considerably re
lieved the outraged, feelings of the good
people of the county, and came after the
officers had been fairly besieged with
requests that a “crime” be uncovered
and the “criminals” punished.
The county was shocked this week
when it was broadcasted that some
farmers had pulled from the creek the
: lifeless body of a child and had buried
it without notifying anyone.
« When the officers went to investi-
gate, they had little trouble in locat-
t ing the grave, and it was decided to ex-
; hume the body and hold an inquest.
1 Among the officers were the ordinary,
. sheriff and justice of the peace.
J Care was exercised in opening the
grave, for it was desired that nothing
be destroyed which might in any way
disclose the identity of the “murder
ers.”
An old sack, used as the “winding
sheet," was pulled from the grave, and
when the body was finally hevealed it
was found to be that of a cat.
The officers who conducted the in
vestigation are taking the grins of their
friends with the best of grace.
MAN AND BOY DEAD
FROM MAD DOG BITES
(By Associated Press.)
2 NEW YORK. July 28.—Two deaths
■from hydrophobia, fatal cases of which
•have been rare since the discovery of
-the Pasteur treatment, are reported.
SJohn Mclnerney, aged fourteen years,
.died in the Jersey City hospital last
inight from a wound received over two
'months ago when a dog bit him. He
•thought, he had recovered, *but on Satur
day last he was seized with convulsions
-and. taken to the hospital. The other
victim is Henry Holland, Jr., a chauf-
'.feur, whc*e death at a suburban asy
lum last Saturday has finally been de
cided by the surgeons who performed
an autopsy to have been due to a dog
bite received several weeks ago.
ECZEMA 25 YEARS
FACE A MASS OF IT
*1 > ,
Says “Reainol Cured Me of One of the
woret Cases Anybody Ever Saw.”
Philadelphia, Fa., Sept. 20, 19ir.—“X
had eczema for the last twenty-five
years, and have been afflicted so badly
; that for weeks I could not go outside
The door. My face was one mass of
’Pimples, and not only the looks of it
&ut the itching and burning pains I ex
perienced were just dreadful. I lost a
igreat deal of sleep and had to keep
^dampened cloths on my face all night to
relieve the pain. I had become dis
gusted with trying different things.
“One day I made up my mind to try
Resinol, and after using one jar of
Resinol Ointment, and one cake of Res
inol Soap, I saw the difference, and now
my face is as clear as anybody’s, and
I certainly don’t need to be ashamed to
go out. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint
ment cured me of one of the worst
cases of eczema, I guess, that anybody
ever‘saw.” (Signed) Mrs. C. Hellmuth,
5611 Appletree street.
Try Resinol yourself and see how
quickly the Itching stops and stubborn
eruptions disappear. Resinol Ointment
(60c) and Soap (25c) are sold by all

Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—From Bradstreet’s.
RICHMOND—Trade is irregular but
generally satisfactory, the most unsat
isfactory condition being slow collec
tions. Lumber is quiet, prices having
declined, and some mills have closed
down temporarily. Wholesale trade in
shoes and dry goods is fair, frequent
ordering of small quantities being a fea
ture. Produce and fruits are plentiful
and command good prices. Manufactur
ers of tobacco and cigars report good
sales. Retail trade is fair and has been
somewhat stimulated by reduction sales
and favorable weather. The cotton crop
is in excellent condition, the plants be
ing in healthy condition. The tobacco
crop is in better condition than for any
recent year, and a record crop of corn
is expected. Labor is well employed.
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Wholesale
trade continu^ quiet. Retail trade is
good, due to reduced prices for summer
goods. Collections are slow. Cotton i<3
showing marked improvement, and the
situation is very encouraging. The to
bacco crop in the Peedee section is the
best in years and is bringing good
prices, the total being about $6,000,000.
CHATTANOOGA — Trade continues
quiet in retail dry goods and notions.
Jobbers of builders’ hardware, shoes and
men's furnishings report business fair.
Manufacturers of furniture say buyers
are in the market and are making some
purchases. Textile industries report
trade in good shape, and knitters are
booking orders for future shipment.
Weather conditions throughout this sec
tion are excellent, and prospects for
cotton are good.
MEMPHIS—Retail trade shows slight
improvement over last week. Whole
sale dealers in all lines report business
good, with collections improving. Crop
conditions are good, although the past
few nights it was a little too cool for
cotton. ,
ATLANTA—Collections continue slow.
Retail trade is fair to good. Crop con
ditions continue favorable, and cotton is
blooming.
BIRMINGHAM.—Pilg iron shows
slight improvement, though prices have
•not materially strengthened. Orders
are reported booked for steady opera
tion of steel mills and furnaces until
September, and small orders for imme
diate shipment are being continuously
received. Heavy buying is not gener
ally anticipated until fall. Lumber,
hardware and building materials are
fairly active. Trade in groceries, fruits
and the like is about normal. Collec
tions are slow. Some sections need
rain, though cotton as a whole is in
very satisfactory condition.
MOBILE.—Jobbers of dry goods and
hardware report business a little be
hind this season last year. Retail
tTade is fairly active, owing to special
sales. Collections remain slow.
MONTGOMERY. — Trade continues
quiet and collections are slow. Crop
conditions have improved slightly,
though boll weevil is reported from
several sections.
JACKSON.—Recent hot weather is
said to have injured the boll weevil.
Retail trade is stimulated by clear
ance sales. Wholesale trade is quiet.
NEW ORLEANS.—Timely showers
have greatly benefited crops in this sec
tion. The somewhat lengthy dry spell
was ripening cotton a little too rapidly,
but the needed rains will have a ten
dency to strengthen the stands and en
large the bolls. Reports from all lo
calities indicate cotton to be in good con
dition. Corn and sugar cane are also
in splendid shape, and it is estimated
that Louisiana’s production of corn<
wm be a record one. The harvesting
of rice will probably start within the
next ten days, and the yield will no
doubt be a large one and ip excess of
lyi2. The general outlook, owing to
good crops, continues favorable. Job
bers report a moderate volume of busi
ness, but orders generally are smajl.
Collections are fair.
SAN ANTONIO.—Collections in gen
eral are slow, owing to large produce
crops on the market causing a falling
off ip sales of groceries and other food
stuffs. Local conditions are excellent
because of the carrying of the bond is
sue election.
Seattle.—Trade, wholesale and retail
is seasonably quiet. However, the out
look for fall trade is favorable. The
salmon pack thus far is meeting all ex
pectations, except in western Alaska,
where the catch is light. Collections
are fair.
Spokane—Favorable weather condi
tions have facilitated the handling of
crops, which are proving larger than
heretofore. The dry goods market con
tinues fair, but lumbering is quiet. Col
lections are slow.
Tacoma.—Warmer weather this week
stimulated sales of seasonable merchan
dise at retail, benefited crops 'and in
creased tourist travel. Wholesale bust*
ness is about normal for the season.
Collections are slow.
CROP REPORTS GOOD.
Weather conditions have been more
favorable this week, widespread show
ers and cooler weather following bring
ing a welcome relief to the heat and
drought of preceding weeks.
Ideal weather for crops reigns in the
spring wheat northwest, and tentative
higher estimates ,of two weeks ago are
now being freely accepted. 'Bradstreet’s
Minneapolis correspondent places the
crop of Minnesota and the two Dakotas
at three-fourths of last year’s yield,
which means a crop in the three states
cf 200,000,000 bushels, about what was
indicated two weeks ago in Bradstreet’s.
This, with gains in Montana and other
states, indicates a total spring wheat
crop- of 276,000,000 bushels.
This estimate, conceding the accuracy
of the government estimate of 485.000,-
000 bushels of winter wheat of 760,000.-
000 bushels, the largest crop ever gath
ered.
Corn has been benefited in the north
west and in Missouri and Illinois and
eastward, but the relief in Kansas and
Nebraska has 'been only partial, though
the weather is cooler, and some dajnage
is conceded to have been done in those
two states.
Scarcity of water for stock is report
ed in Kansas, Oklahoma and the Texas
Panhandle.
Winter wheat harvesting has ended
with practically perfect weather, thus
insuring excellent quality the country
over. Threshing returns point to yields
fully equal to early expectations, and
record yields of winter wheat and of
aii wneat are practically certain-
Oats harvesting is in progress and
fulfills earlier predictions of short
straw, imperfectly filled heads and con
sequent light yields. Where rains came
in time, however, yields are promising
better than on July 1, and the govern
ment prospect at that date seems fully
maintained if not slightly increased.
Hay harvesting reveals the fact that
early fears of a shorter crop than last
year were correct. Quality will suffer
as much as yields, timothy hay suffering
most. Clover has done better than tim
othy. Timothy seed yields promise to
be short, but old supplies are reported
heavy.
Temperatures were very high at the
south early this week, but later on,
showers and cqoI weather relieved fears
of too forced a growth. Except for boll-
weevil damage in Mississippi and its
appearance in Alabama, reports are very
uniformly favorable to the crop as a

The Virginia tobacco crop is reported
in the best condition in years. In the
Peedee region of South Carolina the to
bacco crop promises excellently, and it

F. M. KING, “BORAX XING."
PUT INTO BANKRUPTCY
Frisco Multi-Millionaire Bases
Action on $155,000 Worth
of Claims
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.—The tan
gled. affairs of F. M. Smith, the ‘borax
king” And head of a two hundred million
dpllar string of corporations, were tak
en into the bankruptcy court yesterday,
when foru creditors of the financier
with claims amounting to $165,000 filed
a petition in the United States district
court asking that Smtih be declared an
involuntary bankrupt.
The petition declares that prior to
May 5, when a committee was appoint
ed to act as trustees in managing
Smith’s affairs, he conveyed without
money consideration properties valued
at $1,000,000 to the Mercantile Trust
company, to B. F. Edwards and tq his
wife, at a time when he was insolvent.
These transfers, it is alleged in the
complaint, constitue acts of bankruptcy.
The committee of business men which
has charge of the personal affairs of
Mr. Smith said the petition in bank
ruptcy was entirely unexpected, but
when the committee took charge it was
the opinion of a majority of the cred
itors that they would be able to ac
complish more than would a receiver
in bankruptcy.

mined to Stay in District
of Columbia
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 28.—Any at
tempt to remove David Lamar, the
“wolf of Wall street,” from the juris
diction of the District of Columbia, will
be resisted, according to Mr. Lamar’s
attorney, Henry E. Davis, who expected
efforts would be made today to serve
warrants on his client based on the in
dictment found by a federal grand jury
in New York.
Lamar, who recently testified before
the senate “lobby" investigating com
mittee that he had impersonated public
men in telephone conversations in his
Wall street campaigns, was indicted for
“posing as an officer of the govern
ment for purposes of fraud.”
Attorney Davis declared the warrant
would be resisted because at the pres
ent time it would be “inconvenient”
for- his client to go to New York.
■ “1 have heard that the warrant was
to be served today,” he said. “I do not
know personally what is in the indict
ment against Mr. Lamar, for, despite
my efforts to obtain a copy of the true
bill, I have" been denied that privilege.
My client is ready to appear before
United States Commissioner Taylor here,
but he will . fight any attempt to re
move him from Washington at this
time.’
Lamar has been living in a downtown
hotel since he gave his testimony to
the senate committee.

Louisiana’s crop prospect is for abun
dant yields of most staples. Cotton has
been, of course, much reduced of late
years by the boll weevil, but an in
creased area is reported this year, with
excellent conditions. Corn promises a
record yield, as does rice. Sugarcane
is also in fine shape, though the acre
age is smaller than last year.
