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.

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.

She says she was put off the train at Austell and was forced delay her arrival in Pelham until next oay.

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.

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 rapid fluctuations and he rain rumors which will take some time to settle.

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.
