country, accoroniK to n rpeci-ti rri'onj
ubmltted to-dny by the committee on i
stitl.itlco nnd rtandirds of the Chamber 1
of Commerce of tne l.'nlled Htstefi. '
There Is evident now, according to the
report, a strong belief tint business
will Improve.
The committee finds that In the miln
th thoughts and Interests of the pro
ducers, whether In Ity or rountry, are
In local rather than Intt-rnntlonnl proh
Imii. There etlll continue, however,
much confervatlom In liuylnit and In
new commitments. The feeling seems
to be that It Is best to wait until the
results of the crops are known before
venturing further. As n consequence
stocks of merchandise throughout the
country continue light.
Lumber Interests are everywhere
quiet. A general dirth of building
outside of the large cltle Is having n
depressing effect on the s.ile of nil build
ing miterlals.
Copper mines ire running full time
and new ones are opening Zinc and
lead mines are exceedingly busy and
the mining of Iron ore Is Improving.
Coal mining U everywhere dull,
, largely be-aune of slack dennnd from
the railroads and the slow business In
most manufacturing. Slite mining In
Pennsylvania Is at a low stage. Silver
mining surfers beciuse of low prices of
silver, and gold mining Is not much
better save in a few favored localities.
There Is little buslnes In naval
stores. Phosphate mlne still remiln
closed because of the Kuropean war.
Unfavorable reports come alike from the
fisheries of Oregon, Wat-hlngton, the
Gulf and along the Atlantic coist.

and woollen mills is only fair. Those
manufacturers In different sections who
have orders for wr contracts are ex
ceedingly husy. The furniture buslncs
In Michigan, northern Indiana and Chi
cago Is dull. I'nrer mills are running
only three-quarlers time. Cement fac
tories and those making bricks and tile
report only fair business. The oil In
dustries as a whole are very dull. There

been favorably affected by the Kuropean

Stimulated by the abnormal demmd
of the warring nations the wheat nere
aire Increased beyond any previous
planting. It was approxlmitely lS'a
per cent, greater In winter wheat and
10 per cent. In spring wheat than In
1914. The continued wet weather de
layed growth, harvesting nnd threshing.
Much damage was done to standing
grain In the lowlands.
Many fields were washed tway nnd
subsequent damage accrued In t-hocks be
cause of sprouting and too much ino's

made mcensary a somewhat reduced
estimate of both sprln? and winter
Wheat, the probable yield being put at
941.500.000 bushels,
While Indian corn needs an abundance
of moisture, It has had a superabundance
this season. In the bottoms the crop In
many sections Is hurt beyond repair.
On the uplands and the hill country
conditions, however, are of the best.
Rnln npiluces the Corn Crop.
In the northern sections, especially in
Minnesota. Wisconsin, the two Pikotas,
northern Nebraska and the peninsula of
Michigan, the growth of corn has been
much retarded by continued cool, wet
weather. The prestnt estimate is for
a crop of approximately 2,935,000,000
husftels. or about 10 per cent, grmr
than last year. Of this amount the fif
teen Southern States will produce about
35 per cent., as against tin aver.irto yield
of 30 per cent. South of the southern
line of Mlt-sourl the corn crop suffered
little, save In extreme southern Texas,
where It was cut Hhort by drought dur
ing: June.
Oats are particularly susceptible to
damage by wet weather, but depltr this
the outlook now Ik for a yield of about
1,400,000,000 bushels, closely rivalling
the record hreaklng productl n of jsi".
The production of minor grains will be
about normal and the potato crop will
closely approximate that cf last year
The reduction In the cotton acreage
a compared with last cur Ih Approx
imately 16 per cent., with about 40 per
cent, decrease in the ure of fertilizers.
A tentative long distance forecast Indi
cates a production f about lli.onn.uno
bale, exclusive of llnters, which will pos
sibly run about SOO.OOO more bales. As
a whole the crop has done well and !
In general good o ndltlon Unforced
economies have everywhere previi'lul
and tho cotton crop will be the oCieajest
raised In many years.

put that country on Its feet. The Presi
dent has been further advised that If
the United Slates c mmlts Itself to a
pdlcy of reestablishing order In Mexico
It must be prepnicd to make some kind
of guarantees iclatlve to finances.
It has been pointed out to tho Ad
ministration that wllh w'.ir conditions
prevailing abroad the United Slates Is
the only place to which Mexico can look
f r financial assistance. The President
Is known to be reluctnnt to permit (he
Administration even remotel to become
Involved In this question of Mexico's
finances. Despite this there Is ground
for expecting that when the time comes
the President will subscribe to a plan
designed to afford Mexico the finances
she will need In a piogramme for re-'
habituation.
Present Indications are the Mexican
conference called by Secretary Lansing
will reassemblo In New York Tuesday or
Wednesday. An Intimation to this ef
fect was given to-night by Secretary
Lansing shortly ojter his return from
New York.
The. secrecy observed by nil parties
to the Mexican negotiations concerning
the date for the reasjcmbllng In New
York has excited speculation that the
conference plan had been or might be
abandoned. Those best Informed on
Mexican questions do not credit these
reports. They are of the opinion that
the Latin American diplomats concerned
are awaiting rcsixinsea from their re
spective governments to communications
forwarded by the Ambassadors and
Ministers Immediately following the dis
closure of the Intentions of the United
States toward Mexico at the Initial
meeting last Thursday. These responses,
It Is understood, will be received early
this week and the conference doubtless
will be resumed without delay.
Cnrdma Arrives This Week.
A good deal of significance is attached
to the action of the Secretary of State
In asking Senhor J. M. Cardora de Oll
velra, the Brazilian Minister at Mexico
city, to come to the United States. The
Brazilian Minister has represented the
diplomatic Interests of this Government
at Mexico city since official relations
between the two countries were broken.
It Is understood that Henhor Cantata
was Invited to come here nt the In
stance of tho diplomats who Joined Sec
retary Lansing In last Thursday's con
ference. It Is the general expectation
that he will take part In sessions to be
held In New York. Tho State Depart
ment Instructed Consul Canada at Vera
Cruz to-day to extend every courtesy to
Senhor Cantata, who will arrive there
Wednesday en route to this country.
Secretary Lansing, in commenting on
his conference with Secretary McAdoo
In New York emphaslted that the pri
mary object of the meeting was to de
vise a procedure for American repre
sentation In the Pan-Amerlcai' financial
and scientific conferences to bit held In
lluenos Ayres. The financial conference
Is a reassembling of the gathering that
was held In Washington this spring, a
project framed with a view to effecting
closer commercial relations between this
country and South American republics.
Secretary Lansing said there were some
affairs In relation to the two conferences
In which the State Department was In
volved and that Secretary McAdoo de
sired to have them adjusted without de
lay. This was done at the meeting to
day In New York, according to Mr.
Lansing.
Villa Defeat Itrinrted.
In a statement made public to-night
by the Carranza aency the claim Is
made that the Vllllstas under Oen.
Urblno were defeated by the Consti
tutionalists under Oen. Trevlno near
Saltlllo. and in consequence, aword
ln to the Carranzlstas, their force are
ready to oocupy this Important rail
road centre. The agency at.o asserts
that the forces of the First Chief now
occupy Durango, capital of the State
of that name According to advlc.es
received at the Carranza agency, the
railway line between Mexico city and
Toluca Is now being reopened for the
purpose of shlpplnff to the capital pro.
visions purchased by Carrama ifor re
lief purposes. The claim Is nlso made
that Carranza Is sending large sums
of money to Mexico city to relieve the
embarrassment caused by tne monetary
situation there.
Information was received here to-night
that W. H, Francis, a newspaper corre
spondent, has been arrested in Vera Cruz
on a charge of transmitting libellous In
formation to the foreign press. Frarcls
Is a British subject. The Carranra
agency Is Informed that he will be tried
before a civil tribunal, Another corre
spondent alleged to be guilty cf the same
offence has taken refuge In the United
States Consulate. The name of this cor
respondent was rot given In the des
patches lecelved at the Carranza agency
and so far as Is known the State Depart
ment has not been advised of the Inci
dent. MAY VISIT BANKS TO-DAY
Secretary .McAdoo In Expected in
I'onanll Financiers,
Secretary of SfMe LatiKlng nnd Sec
retary a! the Treasury McAdoo held a
conference here yesterday In regard to
the financing uf the Administration's
plan for the upbulldlns of Mexico.
It was learned from an authoritative
suirce that the two Secretaries discussed
the question of tho advisability of as
certalnlns whether financial Interestw in
this city would earn to consider the
question of a loan to a new government
III Mexico If tho Administration and tho
A B. C. diplomats agreed on a plan.
If the bankers are sounded, naturally,
they will wish to know the details of the
scheme nnd whether the Administration
has nettled upon a definite man to hed
a new government.
Secretary Lansing, who has been
conferring with Mexican diplomats In
Washington, arrived In this city In the
morning and went to the Hotel Bllt
more. Secretary McAdoo came from his
summer home In North Haven, Me., af
ter having conferred last we-ek with
President Wilson at Cornish, The two
Secretaries were together for more than
two hours,
Ai'tvr their meetlrp . the. placo nf
which was kept secret, Secretary lou
sing hurried back to Washington with
out making any statement for 0'ie press,
Secretary McAdoo remained here, going
In the evening to visit friends In West.
Chester. He also refused to make any
ceunment on the results of the con
ference. From authoritative sounes, however,
It was learned that the two men dis
cussed u detail President Wilson's plan
for the reconstruction of Mexico, Secre
tary Lansing laid before Secretary Mc
Adoo tih details of the proposed finan
cing er the war ridden country,
and also foots Knowing the extent to
which the Government Is teady to go
In restoring peace there.
Secretary McAdoo, It Is learned, will
npinoacli certain financial Interests In
this city with the aim of ascertaining
whether those bonkers are willing to
consider a proposition to lend money to
a new government In Mexico. Upon him
rests the task of leamlns whether the
bankers will back such a loan and on
what terms. Naturally the bankers will
wish to know exactly what the United
States will do In guaranteeing peace
there and what Bteps It will take In sup
pressing future revolutionary outbreak.
It la said that Secretary McAdoo, after
his talks with President Wilson and
PROBLEM
OF FI NA N CES
Secretary Lansing, can lay n definite

It was reported In one quarter that
the financial group that will be ap
proached comprises J. P, Morgan 4 Co.,
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Ladenburg, Thai
mnnn & Co., Hallgurten A Ca, Speyer
Co. and Hnydeti, Stone & Co. It Is
hinted that the Guaranty Trust Com
pany nlso may be asked lo participate
In the underwriting of the proposed loan.
Secretary McAdoo refused to say a
word In regard to the discussion jin tho
Mexican situation. He said, however,
that he will be In the city to-day and
will proKibly return to Maine to-night.
It Is believed that he will have confer
ences with bankers to-day, If he was
hot In touch with them last evening.
STIRS CARRANZA'S IRE.
Otintemnlan Minister I'tprlled ns
"Pernicious Foreigner."
.tpecfd ruble e;mfcA to Tn Stv
Mexico City, Aug. . Officials say
that they do not know the cause of the
expulsion of Dr. Juan J. Ortega, Minis
ter to Mexico from Guatemala, Oen.
Gonzales merely having received a tele
A'rophlo order from Carranza to the ef
fact that Ortega must leavo the country
within twenty-four hours.
Jt Is not bellvej that Ortega's expul
sion is connected with i evolutionary ex
peditions across the Guatemalan border,
but rather to Ortega's attitude among the
'diplomats here. It Is understewd that Car
.ranza considers Ortega In the light of a
"pernicious foreigner" who has been
meddling In politics. Carranza's Iro Is
believed to have been aroused by tie
preenco of Guatemalan diplomats at
the recent peace conference in Washlr g
Iton. Mexico and Guatemala have rot
been on Trlendly terms for n number of
years.
It Is officially denied here that t!.e
Gorman Charge d'Affalres is to K e.t
pelted, It Is officially announced that ll.e
Constitutionalists have occupied the
mammoth hydraulic power plant of the
Mexican Light and Power Company on
tho Necaxa, In the State of Pucbla, which
supplies Mexico city, Toluca, Pachuca
and other points. The occupation will
give protection to the Necaxa employeee.
The Carranzlstas have started train
service out of Mexico city over several
lines for short distances, They say they
Intend to extend the traffic us repairs
and military occupation continue,

t'nrrnnsa Hrsrnta Participation nf
A II " In Conference.
Wasiiinoton, Aug. 8. The belief In
Washington is that Carranta In expeil
In? Senor Ortega, the Guatemalan Min
ister, from Mexico city was giving vent
to his displeasure over the partclpatlon
by the litln American Governments In
the conference called by Secretary Lan
sing to consider the Mexican sitmtlon.
If this Is the real explanation of the
withdrawal of the Guatemalan Minister
It Is serious because It indicates that
Carranza Is wiling to go to a consider
able length .In showing his resentment.
Such a spirit will make the situation
all the more difficult for this Govern
ment. VILLA READY TO LEAVE.
Wants III Three Rivals Also to
Qnlt Mexico for Good,
El Paso, Tex., Aug, R, Gen. Villa re
mained In Juarez to-day, awaiting the
arrival of Ger.. Scott, Chief of Staff of
the United States Army, for a conference
on Mexican affairs. Officers attached
to Villa's staff began arriving for a con
ference with their chief, which will be
held Monday morning. What this con
ference Is to consider has not been said,
but It Is be!lced that the officers are
to give their Ideas upon plans for a
peace conference with other -Mexican
factions.
Villa Is said by those who should
know to be convinced of the utter col
lapse of his effort to become dictator
of Mexico, unit Is said to bo willing lo
accept any measure of pence that will
enable him to retire gracefully Beaten
back, after controlling more than two
thirds of Mexican territory a few months
ago, until he holds only the country Im
mediately along the Mexican Central
Hailrnad from Juarez to Torremi, Villa
Is said to be wT'lng to retire If he can
do so with honor.
While Villa talks with seeming confi
dence of his future and continues to
Import ammunition, the coming of Gen.
Sceitt Is saUl to have been brought about
by a suggestion from Villa himself, who
hinted through Oeorge C. Carothera that
he would quit If the United States would
help him.
Gen. Scott will arrive to-morrow to
lay before Villa the plans of the United
States for Mexican pacification nnd to
receive Villa's views It Is said the
United States plans to eliminate Villa,
Zapata, ftbregnn and Carranta as Pres
idential possibilities and ask the four,
thiough delegates, to ngree upon some
man considered strong enough to take
up the task of pacifying the country
Villa Is said to be willing even to retire
to the United Slates, where he Is re
puted to have enough wealth stoied to
mnkc him Independent, and It Is said he
will Insist that Carranta, Zapata and
Obregon do the same
Carranza forces under Obregon con.
Untie to advance northward toward
Torreon, However, it Is learned that
the Carranta advance from Monterey
against Saltlllo and Torreon has been
halted pending peace parleys and that
the advance from the south may he
baited for the same reason.
Villa has been In III Paso mice since
arriving at the border, hut It Is reported
to-night that he will be arrested If he
comes to this side again.

BIGAMY FEARING
BRIDE IS MISSING
Mrs. OnriiP.v T. Morse Flees
Riverside Home After An
noimeing Second Wedding.
MYSTKHY AHOt'T HUSHAX1)
Mrs. Gurney T. Morse of .647 Hlver
side Drive, who wrote letters to several
newspapers on Saturday announcing
that she hid marrlel "a lawyer of great
ability and distinguished family" In de
fiance of a court edict when she was
divorced from her husband, and there
fore believed she had "committed
bigamy." seemed yesterday to have
covered completely her melodiuniatle
Might from the apartment house on
Saturday night.
Although she left In haste without
baggage, gaining the street over the
roof and down through the apartment
house next dewr. no trace of her could
be found. Equally baffling remained the
name nnd whereabouts of the man to
whom she said she was married ten
days ago.
All sorts of clues picked up lit the
course of the day proved futile. Well
known suffragists disclaimed any
knowledge of Mrs. Morse's alleged
nrtlvity for the suffrage cause, al
though In her letters to the newspaiiers
she lioi'leil of her suffrage conneotlons.
Little If anything could be 'learned of
her family, friends and past life. Ap
parently ehe left her apartment on the
first floor In excessive h.iMe. She oc
cupied two rooms of the apartment
leased by a Mrs. Nellie Hell, now In
Hackettstow n, N. J.
IJxamlnntlon of the place yesterday
dlscleetl that the bed was topsy-turvy
and tho desk and dresslrfg table were
cleeired out. AH of her belongings
seemed to be locked In a suit case left
In the place. The win lows were open
liirly In the morning a note was found
telling the milkman not to leave milk
ye.terday.
Who It Is that Mrs. Morse says she
has married Is a mystery. She de
scribed him In her letters to the news
papers aa a relative nf a Justice of the
United States Supreme Court on his
father's side and of 'a former Ambassa
dor to Kngland on his mother's side.
A man who fits that part of her de
scription of her husband denied most
positively last night that he had married
a Mrs. Morse.
Mrs. Morse's attorney. Col. Alex inder
S, Bacon, Is In Yellowstone Park. The
records of her divorce could not be
searched yesterday and It was nlso Im
possible to look up the records of the
marriage lb ense bureiu.
The only record available of Mrs. Gur
ney T. Morse relates to an Incident In
August, 101.1, when she had Hugh M.
Crelghton, an Investment broker, ar
rested In a suit for JH.nno for alleged
fraud nnd deceit. Crelghton nfterward
sued a newspaper for libel In connection
with the case and Mrs. Morse was sub-pa-naed
ns a witness In that suit. Mrs.
Morse said at that time that she lost her
husband In Kentucky, lived for a time In
New Orleans and came to New York
eight years before. She has lived at 517
Hlverlde Drive for about two years

FINDS HOME RULE
SCHEME ILLUSORY
Citizens I'nion Analyzes (lie
Constitutional rmivcntion
Proposition.
CUM BE KSOM E I X M ET1I0 1
The Citizens Union disapproves of the
home rule proposition reported to the
Constitutional Convention on Thursday
by the committee on cities, of which
Seth Low Is the (halrman. Its objec
tions nre set forth In mi analysis of the
measure prepared by Laurence Arnold
Tamer, chairman of the organization's;
constitutional convention committee.
In summarizing the main features of
the proposals on tho basis of his analysis
Mr. Tanzer said !
"The proposal does not confer 'home
rule' In nny fair sense nf the term.
Home rule means power granted to cities
to govern themselves, This proposal
gives no such power. It gives only
power to propose to the Legislature
measures for a city's government, to be
granted or withheld by the Legislature
at Its option : and even this power of
petition extends only over a narrow
field.
"No power whatever Is granted to the
people of n city, except that of proposing
to the Legislature once In eight years
a new charter. If that is rejected by
the Legislature they cannot propose
another until the eight jenrs are up.
They cannot at any time or In any way
control or have any voice In amending
legislation. With the single exception
above mentioned such power ns Is
granted Is vested In the local authori
ties without control by the people.
"The means of exercising the narinvv
powers granted are so cumbersome nnd
obstructive as to render even those
Illusory The adoption of a new char
ter will require three elections, the
labors of a chart' r commission and a
sixty days suhmUstan to tho Legisla
ture, ThN process may take a period
of from one and n half to four years.
"The present vicious system of special
city legislation Is permitted to cnrtlnue
Cities will still be subject to that con
stant Interference by the Legislature
with their local affairs which has given
rlsa to the movement for home rule.
"Partisan political control of municipal
affairs wlU be perpetuated The great
evil of the present system, an evil which
underlies the complaint against special
legislation and the entire home rule
movement, Is the use of the cities as
pawns in tho game of machine iiolltlca.
This evil will continue so long as the
party which happens to have amaJor"y
In the Legislature can extend Its powers
over the cities of the Suite.
"All sense of responsibility will he de
stroyed. When an act requires submis
sion first to the people or to the loc.ii
authorities and then to the Legislature
neither will feel responsibility
"Above nil. It faIN Utterly to provide
for that local autonomy to which we
must look both for the relief of the State
Legislature from the Incubus of local
affairs and for that growth nf enlighten
ment, responsibility nnd efficiently in our
cities upon which the future of democ
racy depends, nnd which can come only
from the full nnd unobstructive exercise
of that right of local self-government
which lies at the foundation nf demo
cratic government,"
