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 druggists, or by mail from Dept. F, Res- jnol, Baltimore, Md.—(Advt.) # 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 w hola 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.

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.

Jack- son. * is estimated will bring in $6,000,000. The Kentucky burley tobacco crop will be an average yield. Truck crop and vegetable producing: regions of the eastern states report need of plentiful rains to re-establish good conditions in that industry. 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.

The pair lay side by side and the slender ropes which still partly held Rodriguez’s body to the bed and the pistol grasped in Mrs. Rodriguez’s hand told the story.
