VACATION SCHOOL
PROJECT WINNER
Head of the Movement Sees
Opening of New Life for
Children.
Dr. Marion Hall, in charge of the
summer vacational schools of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement, with
A\ W. Orr and J. J. Eagan, of the Bible
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. Hail
al 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 we!!
as giving time for singing and simple
study of the Bible, were found in lhe
schools —all in churches or public
school rooms. Three of them are for
v-hite 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
ne ted with the schools, but the results
< ou'.d not indicate it. Every teacher is
,i college or high school student, but
they have brought the young attend
ants to an astonishingly high plane of
living. A great deal of time is given t.<»
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
at the next vacation period, in June,
1913. larger halls for the groups of chil
dren will be necessary, it is thought.
The schools have at present 1.147 chil
dren attending them, which grew from
537 six weeks ago.

DARROW, CONFIDENT,
i 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
I to complete his testimony In his own
I 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
I wanted to jump ahead to the more im
! portant points, but Darrow protested to
i his counsel that he preferred to take
l 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 all documents in the possession of
tlie 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
the 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 $10,000.60
The suit for SIO,OOO, which Mrs. J. C.
Duggard, of Douglasville, brought in the
Cobb county superior court against the
Southern Railway company, was trans
ferred today to the Federal court and will
be set for the fall term.
Mrs. Duggard alleges that on March 10
of this year she was given the wrong
ticket by the ticket agent at Douglasville
and when she got on the train found
that she had a ticket to Birmingham,
Ala . instead of to Pelham, Ga.. where
she wanted to go. She says she was put
off the train at Austell and was forced
delay her arrival in Pelham until next
oay. Bodily injury from having to remain
in an unheated station at Austell in the
early morning and the humiliation of
being put off the train, coupled with the
anguish suffered because her grandson
j was supposed to be dying at ‘Pelham are
i given as grounds for the suit.

TEXAS SHOWERS
LOWER COTTON
Weather Report Causes Heavy
Selling and Prices Accord
ingly Decline.
NEW YORK. July 30. Irregularity was
shown in the cotton market <m the open
ing today, with first figures ranging from
unchanged to 2 points higher to I to 4
points lower than the previous close.
Liverpool cables were lower than expect
ed in conse<iuence 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 weal her 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 be 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
06 points from the final of Monday’s quo
tations.

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 101. 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 w’ould 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 'n New York. Buying
was checked by news that leading longs
bad 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

NEW YORK. July 30.—Carpenter. Bag
got & Co.; The Journal of Commerce
reports the following on conditions of
Georgia and Louisiana:
Georgia—Reports from Georgia are
somewhat conflicting, but there is gen
eral complaint of too much rain. The
plant is often reported small and stand
rather poor. It is somewhat grassy and
cultivation not good. In some portions of
the state, however, a good deal of im
provement is reported for lhe last few
days. Crop is still iwo or three weeks
late.
Louisiana Althongh many sections
were jtlanted three weeks late, growth
and fruitagle have been rapid and per
centage condition appears to have held
its own, compared with a month ago.
when it was 75 per cent. The plant Is
generail.' healthy, doing well and fruitage
satisi'actorj. Too much rain has encour
aged grass in some sections, but as a rule
cultivation is good. 801 l weevils are
general, but up to dale have not caused
much damage.
Browne, Drakeford & Co., Liverpool,
cable: “The market has declined In con
sequence of bearish houses selling to de
press price, sentiment becoming more
bearish, fearing South selling."
Hood. Ferris x. Co. cable: "Bureau
expected very bullish, but present move
ment is quite speculative. IVe are at a
dangerous point. May be higher, but we
advise caution. Texas would break mar
ket 50 points quickly.”
The heavy selling during the early
trading was led by Wilson. Gear. Schill
and the ring crowd.
Commission bouses 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.”
Bolton. Tex., wires: "Cotton suffering
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, but
temporary short; distinctly nervous and
news makes sharp changes. Every one,
talking continued big trade; l<ancashlre
and hoping for ample supplies."
Talk •>< prospect of less than 14,000.009
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 nil over and
deterioration everywhere."

were strong, but slow. Covering was in
’ evidence there in Canadian Pacific.

I tlons of a very heavy yield of growing
i crops induced good buying.

hour and substantial gains were made in
I many of the Important stocks. Canadian

1%• points. Union Pacific, Rea.ling. Atch
