WRECK CAUSER B! I SEEK REVENGE BY FIRING
MEN’S DERELICTION
CHARLESTON, S. C.—Wholesale
dealers in all lines are very much en
couraged by cotton prices and crop con
ditions; orders for fall goods are in
excess of last year. The co ton crop
is reported a little short, owing to the
continued dry spell, but with prevailing
prices the shortage will be more than
made up. Heavy sales of tobacco are
reported, and it is estimated that 30,000
acres were planted, an increase of 25
per cent over last year. Carolina rice is
being harvested, the crop being about
the same as last year, though about 75
per cent c..orter than the previous year,
which reduction is attributed to the
"heavy losses during the storm of 1911.
Collections are showing some improve
ment. and within the next thirty days,
when cotton begins to move, money
should be somewhat easier.
GREENVILLE.—Textile manufactur
ers report business improving, pur
chases being more liberal than for some
time, and. in spite of tariff uncertain
ties, a good season is looked for. Mill-
supply hardware jobbers report busi
ness good. Wholesale grocers report
some activity in that trade, with col
lections still slow. An abundant cotton
crop and easier money are pretty well
assured, and the corn crop is good.
CHATTANOOGA.—Manufacturers and
wholesale dealers express the opinion
that trade as a whole has improved in
th last thirty days ,and all appear opti
mistic regarding the future. The banks
say money is plentiful for legitimate
business purposes, though they are s'ill
loath to loan for speculation. Retail
trade has been actively stimulated by
the opening of the fall season, and mer
chants in general have a full line of
late patterns. The weather is warm and
dry for this season.
MEMPHIS.—The outlook for a big
fall business is good. The cotton crop
is the best in years, and wholesale trade
in all lines is active. Retail trade is quiet
on account of warm weather. Collections
are a trifle backward.
ATLANTA.—Wholesale trade is about
up to the average, but collections are
slow. The approaching school term caus
ed increased sales at retail of children’s
apparel. Still, all lines of retail trade
have been reasonably good. A three
weeks’ drought has caused the cotton
plant to shed much of the top crop, but
the condition of the crop generally is fa
vorable.
SAVANNAH.—Trade in all lines is
quiet, but a good fall business is an
ticipated, as the cotton crop is good
and higher prices than usual are antic
ipated.
BIRMINGHAM.—There has been some
quieting down in iron and steel. Mills
have been busy, but new orders have
not been coming in rapidly enough to
offset shipments. Demand for lumber
and building materials is somewhat bet
ter. Wholesale and retail dealers In all
lines report a good business. Collections
are slow.
MOBILE.—Jobbers in all lines report
trade fairly active. Retail trade Is
quiet. Collections remain slow. Crop con
ditions are fairly good
MONTGOMERY.—The condition of
cotton continues to decline on account of
drought. Reports from many counties
indicate a crop outlook 30 to 50 per
cent below normal. Business continues
quiet and collections poor.
JACKSON.—Wholesale trade is good.
Retail fail trade is opening up. Some
deterioration is reported in cotton, but
prospects are much brighter than for the
same date yast year.
NEW ORLEANS.—Louisiana planters
are making rapid advances towards
gathering their cotton and rice crops.
Hot. dry weather has hastened the ma
turing of the cotton plant, and a con
siderable quantity is being ginned. Some
sections report deterioration on account
of boll weevil, but taking the crop
in its entirety, conditions seem satis
factory. The rice crop is being freely
marketed. A large yield has been reap
ed. and while prices are not up to 1912,
they are a little better than anticipa
ted. The weather has been good in the
sugar district, and its growth has been
materially strengthened. With continued
favorable weather, planters anticipate
a good yield. Favorable reports con
tinue to come in regarding Louisiana’s
corn crop. which is classified as a
bumper yield for the state. General
trade conditions in this section are fair
ly favorable, and jobbers report mer
chants buying rather freely. Collec
tions, however, are not very good, but
will probably improve as the crops be
gin to move.
MUSKOGEE.—Drought and hot winds
continue detrimental to all crops and
forage. The cotton crop deteriorated
greatly the past two weeks, and 35 to
Report of Com -ussion Says
That Fixed Signals Cannot

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA,
. GAS OR INDIGESTION
(By Assoc <•: cd Press.»
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Failure of
three men on a locomotive to observe
and heed a signal that stood against
t!‘,e advance uf their train was the
cause, according to a report issued to-
d y by the interstate commerce com
mission, of a rear-end collision between
passenger trains on the Pennsylvania
railroad on July 30 at Tyrone, Pa. The
accident resulted in the death of one
employe and the injury of 126 passeu-
gc.j, twenty employes, five postal
clerks and two Pullman employes.
The trains were being operated under
the automatic block system. A test of
t**e signals after the accident sho d
that they weiv -n good working con
dition. The report says that it is
impossible to account for the failure of
all three men on the engine properly
to observe the indication of the sig
nal *‘and there can be no excuse for
such failure.”

character taat have occurred within

Monday evening in two different out
houses at the home of Henry Ham. on

Mr. Ham. a real estate dealer, with his
grown son. Leonard, were at church at
the time. Tbe first fire was discovered
at 7:30 o’clock in the corner of an
empty stable of Mr. Ham’s big barn
The barn was filled with feedstuffs, and
in addition it housed several head of
livestock and two or three vehicles.
Hoyt Garrett, a neighbor. noticed
smoke issuing from the stable door and

flames before any serious damage was

her daughter. Miss Ethel, heard the
sound of some one running across the
hack yard. An investigation revealed a
fire In a nearby storehouse.
Mrs. Ham and her daughter put out
the fire before it had done more than

ten miles south' of Dothan. The infant

GARAGE EXPLOSION
STARTS SWEEPING FIRE
NEWEURYPORT, Mass., Sept. 11.
An expulsion ot gasoline In a garage
on Merrimac street today started a fire
which spread rapidly to a number of
ou: iss blocks and nearly a dozen resi
dences. Help was summoned from four
near cities. Edwin B. Ingalls, pro
prietor of the garage, was fatally burn
ed and two employes seriously injured.
40 per cent is deemed a conservative es
timate in this vicinity. Corn will not
exceed one-fourth a crop. Kaffir corn
in this section is practically a total loss.
Despondency is expressed in the cattle
sections, owing to lack of rain and poor
pasturage. Collections are slow. Busi
ness in general is quiet.
OKLAHOMA—Drought and high tem
peratures continue, with consequent se
vere damage to corn, cotton and other
fall crops. The state board of agricul
ture now estimates a 34 per cent corn
crop and 35 per cent cotton crop. Pea
nuts, broom corn and alfalfa are also
suffering from need of rain, and all
crops will be far short of normal. Trade
In all lines is quiet, with collections
slow.
Dallas—Many new merchants have
been buying in this market, and these
additions to the regular buyers have
produced the largest volume of business
?ver enjoyed by local jobbers. Retail
business, In volume, shows only a small
Citizens of Center Hill are inclined to
the belief that the fires were started by
someone who was seeking revenge
against Mr. Ham. Last year Mr. Ham

COLUMBUS, Ga., Sept. 11.—Burglars
are still abroad in the land and Co
lumbus police officers are apparently
completely baffled. Several bold rob
beries have been made In the heart of
the city .during the past few days in
cluding the breaking into and ransack
ing of every department of the Mus
cogee court house, where the various
city offices are located. Only recently
the burglars procured some $200 In
this building.
The latest burglary was that of
the Masonic temple, a three-story brick
building located in the heart of Co
lumbus. A number of private offices are
located in this building, and these were
ransacked throughout. some $50 In
money and many valuable papers being
taken. The police and county officers
are working hard in efforts to run
down the gang, but as yet they have no
clue to the guilty parties.

was the smoothest trick ever "put over"

T.he negro had only been at large a
short time before the other prisoner
missed his "cash” and squealed. The
ease attracted unusual interest in local
police circles.

COLEBROOK. N. H., Sept. 11—Harry
K. Thaw enjoyed three hours of liberty
in northern New England today, but
was arrested shortly before noon on a
country road five miles from here by
Sheriff Holman Drew of Coos county.
Thaw, In an automobile with some
newspaper correspondents, was driving
down the road and had leached a rural
school house when an automobile con
taining the sheriff appeared in sight

his hand for the car to stop.
Thaw ordered the chauffeur, a Frencn-
Canadian, to bring the car to a stand
still. and then alighted and went into
the sheriff’s car without protest, al
though the officer had no warrant for
his arrest. Thaw and the newspaper
correspondents then proceeded to Cole-
brook. Thaw was not locked up in jail,
but was taken to the office of Tom
Johnson, a local attorney, whom he re
tained as his legal adviser.
During the early part of his flight
from Norton Mills. Vt.. Thaw lost his
hat, and when he reached here he wore
a cap borrowed from one of his news

alleged assault on a white woman re
siding near- Homerville. The governor
yielded to the petitions of the white
men and- women of Homerville. and the

prisonment.

the identity of the negro who commit
ted the alleged crime.

Pastors to Agree
Not to Re-Marry
Divorced Parties
CARLISLE, Pa, Sept 11—Clergymen
of tills city have started a movement
to line up the clergy of the entire
state in opposition to the remarriage
of divorced persons. The plan pro
vides that ministers shall sign an agree- 1
ment not to perform a marriage cere
mony in a case where either one ol'
the contracting parties has been di
vorced.
A committee was appoitned to pre
pare a petition to the local clerk of
the court, requesting him to indicate
on the marriage license furnished to
ministers whether or not either of the
parties • contemplating matrimony had
been divorced. This is not required by
state law now, but can be done. It is
claimed, at the option of the marriage
license clerk.
The ministers, however, probably will
provide an exception in the case of per
sons who can furnish to them under
oath evidence, including a transcript
of the order of court, showing them
to be the innocent party.
WASHINGTON, Sept 11—Charges
that the government is winking at
gross violations of the eight-hour labor
law in the execution of federal con
tracts, led to the institution of an in
vestigation today by the Central Labor
union. The American Federation of La
bor will lend its aid in pressing the
inquiry. The committee proposes to
look into the alleged practices of con
tractor and sub-contractor, said to be
working out their contracts with the
government at the expense of their em
ployes.
A committee of three, headed by the
president ol the local union, was named
to take up the matter with the proper
government officials.
