Mo., July 13. —Xo rain fell yesterday in any part of the drought stricken district, including -i 11 of Kansas, western Missouri, Okla homa and Indian Territory. Over •much of this region this was the worst day of the long hot spell, the temperature being more than 100 de crees and no breeze stirring. ( orn, oats, hay and potatoes are so badly injured that, even with rain, the yield ■will be short, and as the weather bureau gives no hope of relief, the outlook is discouraging. At some places in Kansas there has been no rain fall whatever for nearly three imonths.

We have extra nurses and are treating the injured the best we know how. We have employed Anglo Domico, a native of Italy, who stays at the hospital and sees that the in jured are given whatever they ask •for. The dead were buried with due respect." KvcHlii; Day.

Vnre meeting* of the Labor Confer ence Here Held tetterday Without Result. Pittsburg, Pa., July 12. —The great labor conference at the Hotel Lincoln yesterday failed to come to any agreement. Another conference will be held this morning. The object of the conference was the settlement of the strike ordered by the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers in the mills of the American Sheet Steel Co. and in those of the American Steel Hoop Co. The conference also had another purpose in view, the preven tion of a general strike in all the mills controlled by the United States Steel Corporation, the two companies in whose mills the strike had been ordered being- constituent companies of the great sled combine. Two sessions were held yesterday. The first convened shortly after 10 o'clock in the morning. At the atternoon session President Shaffer, in behaif of the Amalgamat ed association, formally presented the case for the organized workmen and the strikers. He laid stress upon the fact that until this year the union had made no effort directly to force a union in all the plants of the com bine for the reason it was thought best to have that movement originate and be carried on among the work men in the mills. Since last year, however, a new condition confronted the union men. The officials of the various companies had plainly indi cated, he said, that they are working on a policy for operating their non union plants in preference to the union mills, and only working the lat ter when it was absolutely necessary. This plan, lie declared, is forcing the union men to desert the organization in order to get work. The idle mills, being union and the union men being rendered poverty-stricken as the price for being members of the or ganization means either that the Amalgamated association is going to lie disbanded soon or else the non union mills will have to be made union, so that equal justice will be given to all. It was a matter of life and death for the Amalgamated association that the non-union mills be done away with, as Mr. Shaffer put the situation, i'he alleged method adopt ed by the American Shoe Steel Co. in practically starving the employes of the Old Meadow Mills in Scotland into a non-union agreement was elab orated on and the demand made by that company that the mill be left out of the scale entirely in the future was taken as an indication of what the general plan of the company is in dealing with the Amalgamated asso ciation. It means, he said, slow starvation or else complete surren der to the company and the giving up of all rights to organized union in their plants. In reply\to the statements of Presi dent Shaffer, the officers of the vari ous companies give an outline of their position. They denied any in tention of working an injustice to ward union workmen in their mills. The feeling for the Amalgamated men had always been friendly, they said, and they had no desire to loree any trouble among them. The plea on both sides was listened to with the closest attention by an of the members of the conference. The tone on each side was amicable and it was apparent that the manu facturers' representatives were pre pared togo a long way to gain a peaceful solution of the existing diffi culties. 'i'lie members of the two conference committees began presenting argu ments in favor of their different po sitions in the trouble, and this con tinued until 5 o'clock in the afternoon when by agreement, the meeting was adjourned until 10 o'clock in the morning. , , MUST INTERVNE. (ioi, Durbin Han Ilcen Called Oil by Mate Department at Washington to Do So. Indianapolis, Ind., July 12. —(!ov. Durbin was called on by the depart ment of state at Washington yester day to intervene, in his official capac ity, iu a controversy between the Wabash Railroad Co. and the Italian government, which has been laid be fore the federal authorities. The letter to the governor says •that the report of the Italian consul site at Chicago went to the Wabash railroad hospital at Peru to see the Italian laborers, Who had been in jured in a Wabash railroad wreck near Cassa, in which ■were killed outright, and several in jured, and tnat "this report of the consul was denied any communica tion whatever with tin' men (the Ital ians) by the agent of the railroad company." It says in the report that the con sul had gone to the hospital to aid ihis fellow countrymen, which had ar rived from Italy only two days be fore the wreck and cannot under stand a word of English. The Italian consul has declared to the govern ment that the injured men need some one to look after their interests and therefore request has been made of the department of state to inter vene in the ma/tter, with a view to ob tain permission from the local au thorities for Consul ftosadowski to render aid to the Italian hospital patients. The letter asks Gov. Durbin to take whatever action lie deems best under the circumstances to "aid a friendly government." Ji» Live* Lout.

II the Colored n«ii .Arc <>o(ti>» Hold Or They Will No Doiihl He Treated Very Koughly—A Very Deep Feeling Over the Outrage IN (Experienced. Kansas City, .'July 13.—A crowd of 2,500 excited men -and boys surround ed the county jail here last night, clamoring for vengeance against three negroes, who criminally as saulted Miss (irace Davis Wednesday night, in a populous and highly re spectable neighborhood. Eight sus pects, two of whom have been identi fied, are held at the jail and it is thought that Marshall Maxwell will lie able to protect the prisoners. The crowd so far has done nothing but shout and threaten. The crime was one of the most dar ing ever perpetrated here. Miss Davis and her escort, Vernie Newton, were walking together, and at Nine teenth street and Woodland avenue three negroes sprang upon them, from behind. Newton was knocked senseless and Miss Davis was dragged four hundred feet into a private park and assaulted. When she recovered consciousness her escort was still in sensible. Both are in a critical con dition. At midnight the mob in front of the courthouse had not diminished but seems to be leaderless, and an of fensive movement is unlikely. The crowd is largely composed of the rough element, but many influential citizens were urging the people togo borne. It is said six of the negro suspects have been gotten away to the workhouse. The negroes still in jail are the two who have been iden tified—.Joseph Roberts and Frank Holland. There is deep feeling over 'the outrage among all classes, which had already been aroused by the murder of Tom Scruggs, son of a prominent citizen by a gang of ruf fians in Troost park last month. The mob seems to have abandoned its lynching plan. Five hundred men in squads of 75 are raiding the negro quarter in the North End, chas ing and beating negroes and smash ing windows. ioo PER CENT.

He estimates the amount which finally will be recovered for the depositors from the assets, including stockhold ers assessment, at about 80 cents on the dollar. The receiver states that his esti mate of the value of the Marqtiand collateral is less than is claimed by the directors of the bank, and it is claimed by the directors of the bank, and it is possible on this account that t'he final collections may be some what better than the receiver's es m ate. ■Comptroller Dawes stated yester day that all transactions connected with the advance of cash to the bank just prior to its failure are being carefully investigated bv competent counsel, and that all legal rights of the depositors will be protected in this connection. Comptroller Dawes ordered yesterday an assessment of 100 per cent, on the $500,000 capital stock of the bank. The report of the receiver contains no reference to any of the investiga tions now oeing made into the ques tion of the existence of criminal in fractions of law.
