ERING OF RECORD BREAKING
TEMPERATURE
NEW YORK July, 19 —After a
night of sweltring heat spent by thou
sands in the streets, in the public
park, on piers along the river front
and in every vacant place that promis
ed a breath of air, the condition that
confronted the people of New York
this mi rning were terrifying. The
son rose in a cloudless sky and hour
after hour the heat grew more in
tense. Every ambulance was kept
busy and by noon the hospitals were
crowded with sufferers.
Although tbe midday heat was
everywhere terrific, it was broken by
scattered thunder storms, many of a
very violent character, and toward
evening the temperature fell rapidly.
With this welcome relief came the an-
uounoement from the weather bureau
tonight that the abatement in tbe
heated term had been general and that
moderate temperature* would probab
ly prevail for several days in the
middle Atlantic and New England
states.
In New York the highest tempera
ture recorded was 95, one degree low
er than that of yesterday, when the
highest record of the season was
reached.
Among the distressing incidents of
the day was the killing of her in
fant in Brooklyn by a young woman
who was suddenly driven insane by
the heat. She stabbed the child to
death and then made a vain attempt
on her own life.

JUSTICE
TALKS ABOUT
GRAFT
DELIVERS AN ADDRESS BEFORE
ASSEMBLAGE OF LIFE IN
SURANCE MEN
LAUDS ROOSEVELT
PRAISES HIS EFFORTS TO MAKE
PUBLIC LIFE PURE
AND HONEST
MILWAUKEE, July 19.—Jnatfce
David Brewer of the United States
supreme court delivered a short ad
dress before a large assemblage of life
insurance agents in the Masonic
building in this city tonight. He
devoted most of his talk to modern
graft, and praised President Roose
velt in his efforts to make pubic affairs
pure and honest.
"This has been a year which may
be chaacteri/ed as one of great irsor
euce upheaval," he said. "The re
fcult has been prejudicial to the in
terests of a certain company and
also to the interests and business of
others. I believe this will result iv
great benefit iv insurance through
out the world.
"The moment private pecuniary
gain is sought throgh the advantage
of a trust someone is guilty of graft
ing.
I have reference to the more insid
ions ways that the one holding pnblic
office is carrying on his duties of
tint office for his own gains or the
gain of his own ends.
"Take the president of the United
States. Along iv the winter Santo
Domingo pat itslelf on a financial
footing. Suppose the presiident had
acted secretly and advised his friends
to buy up Santo Domingo bonds.
Wouldn't that shook the people of the
oountry? Yet the government would
lose nothing aud some would be pri
vate gainers' Suppose the United
States supreme court justices would
give out information in advance of
cettain decisions. Wonld not you re
volt at such a transaction? It would
be unworthy—this would be grafting.
