Dr. Marion Hall, in charge of the smnnmr vacations I schools of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, with M \\ t)rr 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 anew life for the young people,” said Dr. Hall at the conclusion of the visit. ‘‘We "ill 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. iT.ild'en 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 I aught 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 be-rn given hourly automobile titles in cars furnished by Atlanta men behind the work. There are no expert teachers con n< < ted with the schools, but the results wmrtl not indicate it. Every teacher is •a 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 eadily responded to the teach ings. Each week the teachers meet with F’.-p.. 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. la: ger 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, RESUMES STAND TO FINISH HIS DEFENSE I LOS ANGELES, July 30. —Resuming ( the witness stand when the morning I session of Judge Hutton's court opened I 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 - cd. 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 bo 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 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 the stand, Darrow perused copies of tel egrams and letters, most of which were secured by tlie Federal authorities orig inally. It is expected that Darrow's cross examination will begin before the end of the day's session. PUT OFFtRAIN FOR WRONG TICKET, SHE NOW ASKS $10,000.00 The suit for SIO,OOO, which Mrs. J. C.

Ga., where she wanted to go. She says she was put off the train at Austell and was forced to delay her arrival in Pelham until next day. Bodily injury from having to remain in an unheated station at Austell in the early morning and the humiliation of being put off tlie train, coupled with the anguish suffered because her grandson was supposed to be dying at Pelham are given as grounds for the suit. i TELEPHONE GIRL’S COUNT 0.

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 tluin 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 be extended temporarily further, but Il puts the market in a healthier posi tion, and it is firmly believed a higher marl et will follow. At tlie close tl.e market was steady with prices showing net losses of 25 to 36 points from the final of Monday’s quo tations. OF NEW YORK FUTURES.
