Dr. Marion Hall, In charge of the summer vacational schools of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, with W. W. Orr and J. J. Eagan, of the Rible study board, noted remarkable progress by Atlanta children on a tour of in spection of the newly established schools today. “I am highly pleased with the work and can see that it Is opening up a new life for the young people," said Dr. Hall at the conclusion of the visit. "We will endeavor to enlarge the schools at once.’’ The trip of inspection began shortly before 10 o'clock and lasted until a complete examination of the work in the four schools had been made. Children busily engaged in drawing, sewing, weaving and other arts, as well as giving time for singing and simple study of the Bible, were found in the schools—all in churches or public school rooms. Three of them are for white children, located in Wesley Me morial and the Immanuel Baptist churches and the Exposition Cotton Mills school. The fourth, for negro children. Is being held at the Richland street mission, an educational building established by the Central Presbyterian church. In the morning hours the children are given lessons in industrial arts, are taught lessons from religious works and later are grouped for a number of religious songs. Then they are In structed in athletic exercises, or are taken for little picnics. Some of them have been given hourly automobile rides in cars furnished by Atlanta men behind the work. There are no expert teachers con nected with the schools, but the results would not indicate it. Every teacher is ' a college or high school student, but I they have brought the young attend ants to an astonishingly high plane of living. A great deal of time is given m emphasizing the necessity of good hab its and good morals, and the children have readily responded to the teach ings. Each week the teachers meet with Rev. G. R. Buford, superintendent of the schools, for a brief conference, and at this meeting plans for the week are thoroughly discussed. Already many plans for enlargement and advancement of the work have been laid, and when the schools open 1 at the next vacation period, in June, 1913, larger halls for the groups of chil dren will be necessary, It is thought. The schools haw at present 1,147 chil dren attending them, which grew from 537 six weeks ago.

DARROW, CONFIDENT, RESUMES STAND TO FINISH HIS DEFENSE LOS ANGELES, July 30.—Resuming the witness stand when the morning session of Judge Hutton's court opened today. Clarence Darrow expected today to complete his testimony in his own behalf. Fortified by a good night's rest, the famous labor lawyer had a confi dent bearing. Rogers, chief counsel for Darrow, and Darrow conferred before the trial open ed. Rogers In his direct examination wanted to jump ahead to the more im portant points, but Darrow protested to his counsel that he preferred to take the story up chronologically. He said it would be easier that way, and Rogers acquiesced. Coincident with the order of the court that the defense be permitted to in spect ail documents in the possession of the state purporting to be written by the defendant, District Attorney Fred ericks turned over to the defense a fat envelope today. Before he went on ♦he stand. Darrow perused copies of tel egrams and letters, most of which were secured by the Federal authorities orig inally. It is expected that Darrow’s cross examination will begin before the end of the day’s session. PUT OFF TRAIN FOR WRONG TICKET, SHE NOW ASKS $10,000.00 The suit for SIO,OOO, which Mrs. J. C.

NEW YORK, July 30. Irregularity was shown in the cotton market on the open ing today, with first figures ranging from unchanged to 2 points higher to 1 to 4 points lower than the previous close. Liverpool cables were lower than expect ed in consequence of bearish houses sell ing to depress prices. Within 10 minutes after the opening the market was under heavy selling pressure, led by some big professionals with the ring crowd helping out, causing prices to break with losses from 9 to 17 points below the previous close. This was explained on the ground the market was overbought and that the crop in Texas had been exaggerated. Later, however, the market rallied 5 to 14 points. The weather conditions reported favor able over the larger part of the belt. The market was still under heavy sell ing during the afternoon session on re ports from Texas saying a few light scat tered showers had prevailed over that state. This report renewed the aggress iveness of big professionals and the ring crowd who have been unloading some of their long lines taking profit, causing prices to show a further decline from the early decline, prices being 17 to 27 points below the previous close. This reaction may he extended temporarily further, but it puts the market in a healthier posi tion, and it is firmly believed a higher market will follow. At the close the market was steady with prices showing net losses of 25 to 36 points from the nnal of Monday’s quo tations.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 30. Weather map shows little change. Part cloudy In the northern third of the belt. Balance generally fair. No rain except .22 at Pal estine. Texas; .60 at Jacksonville, Fla., and .28 at Memphis. Very high tempera tures in north Texas, with minimum of 82 at Abilene and Fort Worth. The maximum average for Texas yester day was 104 and for Oklahoma 104. Three stations In Texas showed 100. ten showed 102, nine 104, three 106, six 108 and four 104. Indications for part cloudy in the northwest quarter. Possibly some show ers in Arkansas and northern Oklahoma. Continued warm and generally fair in the balnce of the western states. Increasing cloudiness and thunder showers are indi cated for today and tomorrow over the eastern half of the belt. After a dry spell of ten days such conditions would be most favorable for crop development in the central and eastern states, Liverpool is halting around 7.00. Spot prices unchanged. Our market opened about 4 points lower and sold off to 13.10 for October in the early trading, owing to further easiness in New York. Buying was checked by news that leading longs had sold heavily yesterday in the last hour. The market in the second hour eased further, October selling to 12.99 on reports of sprinkling at Fort Worth and Dallas. Light showers will hardly do any good. What is needed is a general ample rainfall. The market recovered promptly to 13.10 for October, but is upset by the rapid fluctuations and he rain rumors which will take some time to settle.

Texas would break mar- j ket 50 points quickly." The heavy selling during the early I trading was led by Wilson, Gear, Schill and the ring crowd. Commission houses have been among the best buyers and sellers during the past few days, which is believed to be for the public interest. Dallas wires: “Texas Scattered clouds in all sections. Oklahoma -Gen erally clear; light rain In Sayre.” Belton. Tex., wires: "Cotton suffering I from excessive heat and lack of rain: temperature 110 here now.” The weekly government report on weather worse than expected and un favorable. Liverpool cables: "Tendency somewhat reactionary; talent ultimately bullish, hut temporary short; distinctly nervous and news makes sharp changes. Every one talking continued big trade; Lancashire and hoping for ample supplies.” Talk •'f prospect of less than 14.000.000 bales crop would undoubtedly start a further advance. The ring erwod sold on reported rain at Fort' Worth, but report was not offi cial. A prominent export house of Fort Worth wires: "Owing to extreme tem peratures and hot winds, never heard of more complaint talked of all over and deterioration everywhere.” Following are 11 a. m. blds: July 12.73, October 12.96.

NEW YORK, July 30. -The stock mar ket opened quiet and fairly steady today with price changes confined to the small est fractions.

Steel com mon, Northern Pacific, Great Northern preferred, American Beet Sugar and other issues were succeeded by almost uniform gains, which brought prices to or slight ly above the levels of yesterday's close. American shares in the London market were strong, but slow. Covering was in evidence there in Canadian Pacific. The curl) market opened steady. The tone in the late forenoon was dull but firm. Fractional gains were made in nearly all the important issues. Expecta tions of a very heavy yield of growing crops induced good buying. A firm lone appeared in the last lialf hour and substantial gains were made in many of the important stocks. Canadian Pacific was prominent, scoring a gain of 1% points. Union Pacific.
