Terrible Drouth.
Kansas City. 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. The present is the worst

Peru, Ind.. July 13. —Superintendent
E. A. Gould ,of the Wabash railroad,
when informed that the state depart
ment had asked Gov. Durbin to use
his influence to bring about a satis
factory adjustment of differences be
tween the Italian government and the
Wabash, arising out of the wreck at
t'ass, Ind., in which many Italians
were killed and injured, replied:
"What can the governor do to aid
the sufferers more than we are do
ing? 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."

NO AGREEMENT.
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. , ,

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."

far as the program was concerned,

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

Dawes received the preliminary re
7>ort from the receiver of the Seventh
National bank of New York City yes
terday. The receiver states that his
estimate of the value of the assets is
of course only approximates. 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.

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.

are under the charge of the depart
ment of justice.
