Special to The New York Times. Washington. July 31.—The Republi cans are going to have a hard struggle to retain control of the Senate. With the exception of New York. Ohio. Indi ana and Missouri they find themselves with a fight on their hands. It is a fact much commented on in Washington with the possible exception of Oklahoma, the States in which the farmer-labor protest is strongest are those in which Republi can Senators will come up for re-elec tion next year. With the Democrats it so happens that, with three exceptions, every Democratic senatorial vacancy next year concerns a Southern State. Senators Walsh of Massachusetts. Walsh of Montana, and Ada mas of Colorado, are the only Dem ocrats north of the Mason Dixon line whose terms expire in 1025. and if re ports to Democratic National Headquar ters are reliable, each of these Senators stands much more than an even chance of succeeding himself. The doubtful States for the Republi cans iii the Senatorial elections are New Jersey. Delaware. West Virginia. Illi nois. Kansas. South Dakota. New Mexico. New Hampshire and Colorado. With the exception of Kansas, the seats to be contested are held by Administration Re publicans. and some of the ablest men in the Republican Party privately confess that some of the Western incumbents will need to go on a diet of progre*sive , ism if they expect to be returned win ners in November. 11*24. The Fa finer-Labor forces, according: to all the Mgns. will wage the hardest kind of a campaign to win the seats now I occupied by Senator Sterling of South Dakota, and Senator Phipps of Colora do. There are sonjy rumblings also in Kansas and in Oregon, where the farm hi >«■ Senators. Capper and MeXary, are coming up for re-election. Senator Capper stumped Minnesota for Senator Kellogg against Shipstead and lie was willing, so it was stated by a member of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, to go into the State in the last election and urge the defeat of Mangus Johnson. He also vot ed for all the high tariff schedules. If Jonathan M. Davis, the present Demo cratic Governor of Kansas, runs against Senator Capper, the Senator will f%< ea real contest because Governor Davis is popular with the elements in Kansas similar to those which brought about the election of two Farmer-I.abor Sen ators in Minnesota. As tor Senator MeXary. one of the most popular men in Congress, he voted to -cal Newberry, and, as was Capper, lie was an ardent advocate of the For«l --ney-Cuinber Tariff Law. which Western Republicans concede is in about the same class as the Esch-Cummins law as a means to lose votes among the farmers ami union labor. MeXary also may gun against a snag of the Oregon Ku Klux Klan. in which State the Klan lias one of its strongest organizations. Washing ton lias heard that K. K. Kubli, Speak er of the Oregon House, may oppose Mc- Xaiy. In Oregon they call Mr. Kubli "K. K. K." in Colorado* Senator Phipps, a stand patter of the stand-patters, certainly will draw the full tire of the farmer-labor forces, and Senator Sterling of South Da kota is in the same boat. Both voted to seat Newberry and both suported the new tariff law. In about the same position as Philips and Sterling is Bursotn of New Mexico. A> for Senator Alva Adams of Colo rado. the Democrat appointed to serve out the term of the late Senator Nich olson. he has the support of Governor Sweet—and the Colorado Governor is one of LaFollette's strongest supporters in the Far West. For this reason it is doubted that lie will be opposed by the Radical-Progressives. In Montana Walsh will have the support of Senator Bur ton K. Wheeler, an active follower of I.a Folletfe. In the Fast the battle will be a straight-out tight between Republicans and Democrats. A leading Republican Senator is authority for the statement that Senator Keyes of New Hampshire i> in danger. Edge in New Jersey, Ball in Delaware. Elkins in West Virginia, are the other Eastern Republican Sena tors for whose seats the Democrats are already planning to contest. The same is true of McCormick in Illinois. All of these are Administration Senators. One of the big primary tights facing the Democrats in the South will be in Tennessee, where three candidates have announced themselves for the seat now occupied by John K. Shields, one of the Democratic Senator who allied themselves with tin* irreeoncilables in the League of Nations fight. General Lawrence X. Ty son. Associate - .Justice Nubian Bach man of the Teneessee Supreme Court and Representative Joseph jW. Byrns, are the men who will oppose Shields for the nom ination. Senator Shields, as did Reed in Mis souri. will be up against the opposition of tin 1 Woodrow Wilson Democrats, but as was the case in the Reed contest, there are many who are of the opinion that there arc enough Republicans in Tennessee who will vote for Shields to pull him through. Senator Robert L. Owen, of,Oklahoma, is another Senator who will probably have opposition in his own party. Owen, however, is a member of the LaFollette legislative group, and as this group now is in power in Oklahoma, the opinion is general that Owen will be renominated. Another Democratic tight may be in prospect in Arkansas. Senator Robin son conies up for re-election next year. The Arkansas Union Farmer, organ of the Farmers’ Union of that State, is urging defeat of Robinson. Former Gov ernor George XV. Donaghey is said to be one of the men who will probably oppose Robinson in the primary. Lady Astor’s Liquor Bill Now English Law. Loudon, July 31. —Royal assent was given today to Lady Astor’s liquor bill, thus formally placing it upon the sta tute books.

The Manufacturers Record, under the head of “Facts of Nation-Wide Impor tance." gives those indications of how the South is forging to the front It was recently shown by that paper how New Orleans lias developed its harbors facilities to the extent of an in vestment of about $100,000,000 of municipally owned docks. wharves, warehouses and industrial canals. Baltimore is proposing to 'match this development by municipal harbor im provements for which $50,000,000 was voted a few years ago. for port facili ties including docks, and wharves upon which construction work is now under way and which it is estimated by the engineers will eventually represent an outlay of $100,000,000 before final com pletion. “These two vast harbor improvements by municipalities. Baltimore at tlie northern end of the South and New Orleans as the outlet of the mighty Mississippi Valley territory" says The Record*- "are indicative of what mu nicipalities are doing in port develop ment work. The Baltimore expenditures are in addition to several millions which are being put out by the three big rail road systems having their terminal facilities at this port, as well as large expenditures for wharves and docks by individual corporations. In this week’s issue the story of what Baltimore is doing in this particular and in its con struction activities is told in some de tail.” Heart Failure Kills Boy After Run to Catch Ride.

Baptist minister, at the latter's home last June 5, went on trial for his life in the Cumberland county circuit court today. When Judge D. B. White, presiding, adjourned court bite today the jury has been impaneled thereby upsetting all ex pectations, and three prosecuting wit nesses. one of whom had witnessed the killing, had testified. The one eye witness testified that he did not see Larkin fire a shot and that with the exception .of tho first which was fired while the witness' back was turned, all the shots were fired by Rob ert Garrett. This witness. George W. Martin, a carpenter, swore that Robert Garrett not only fired several shots at the minister before the latter fell to the ground but emptied his pistol into the prostrated body as Mr. Pierce lay prone on the ground. From the time examination of the first talesman began to the qualifying of the last member of the jury panel of 20. less than two hours were consumed and only 00 of tlie venire of 83 sum moned last night and early this morning had been exhausted.

FARMERS MEET IN STATE CONVENTION Holding Twenty-first Annual Session at State College. Raleigh. Raleigh, Aug. 1. —“The premium of one-half a cent a pound on North Caro lina's total cotton crop would mean over $2,000,000 for North Carolina farmers and a premium of one cent a pound would mean a saving to the cotton grow ers of the state of 1 over S 4.000.000.” U. It. Bliilock, general manager of the North Carolna Cotton Growers Associa tion. told the 21st annual session of the North Carolina farmers convention, open ing at State College Tuesday. Dr. J. V.

Carelessness About Firej Charlotte News. Following an extensive study and presentation of the fire statistics for this country. The New York Tribune reaches the conclusion that we are get ting more careless in the matter of fires in spite of all the fire-prevention pro paganda that is being spread, all the organizations that are aroused against this extravagant waste and all thf tire extinguishing measures and applinces that are being used. I p to last year "file Tribune points out. 1006 was the year of heaviest fire losses because it was then that the great San Francisco conflagration oc curred. Though there were no great catastrophes last year, 1022 oiled up a greater fire loss by $15,000,000 than 1000. the aggregate fire loss for 1022 being $521,800,000. Eire losses, ir seems, are increasing eight times as fast, in this country as population. The average per capita loss has jumped from $2.10 in 1012 to in 1022. an increase of 120 per cent. Probably no other country can ex hibit so calamitous a record. The figures are available for Great Britain and they show that there the fire loss in 1022 was only 72 cents per capita, less than one-sixth the per capita loss in the United States. The mten who make a special study of fires and fire statistics* maintain that 80 per cent of the fires which occur in this country are “preventable” and due to carelessness or negligence of some kind. They may be preventable, but they are not being prevented and the steady increase in fire losses from year to year is proof that no progress is being made as yet towards preventing them. A queer feature of the situation is the fact that in most cities the fire departments are declared to be highly efficient, while another queer feature is the fact, al ready noted, that America is probably ahead of all other countries in the de velopment of fire-proof construction and devices for minimizing the likelihood of fires. Are Americans inherently less careful than the people of other' countries? Or is the explanation of our bad luck with fires the simple fact that in this coun try a much larger proportion of the buildings are constructed of wood? Dock Kliittz Is Given 20 Years. Monroe, July 31.-—Dock Klutz, 18 years old. was sentenced to serve 20 years in the state penitentiary here to day by Judge A. M.

His submission was entered by one of his i attorneys. John J. Parker, of Charlotte. , The defense was prepared to make a plea of insanity for Klutz, but later de cided upon the submission plea. The ' evidence was entered for several wit- ] nesses for the state an dthe case sub- j initted to Judge Stack without argu- < ment by attorneys. Here’s War Which Has Full Approval. New York, Aug.

Baltimore, August 2. —Special reports! [ from leading railroad officials throughout 1 the South to the Manufacturers Record .‘show that the South is now annually 1 I feeding the nation to the extent of 250.-1 • 000 to 300.000 carloads of vegetables, i ifruits, cottonseed and peanut oil prod-, I nets. It takes twice as many carloads , to handle the early vegetables and fruits s of the South shipped to northern and -western markets as it would to haul - j 10.000.000 bales of compressed cotton. ' The handling of these vegetables and fruits, which form, such an important 1 part of tlie food supply of the North and : West, requires about one-half as many i ears as would be needed to handle an < 800.000,000 bushel wheat crop if every - bushel of wheat was shipped by rail out . of the county in which it is produced. r During tlie greater part of the winter t and spring seasons Southern railroads 1 are daily hauling several thousand car > loads of vegetables and fruits into the 1 market of the North and West. One railroad alone last year handled 1 05.000 carloads of such farm products, f Two adjoining counties annually pro f diioe nearly 3,000,000 barrels of pota -1 toes a year, ami have shipped as high as - 018 carloads in one day. Many mil l lions of bushels of apples are raised in f the South and shipped to other sections, i During the coming twelve months 1 Florida will ship nearly 100.000 car j loads of vegetables and fruits to the 2 North, while all other southern states from Virgina to Texas are rapidly com ing to the front in this industry. Some idea of the extent of this busi * ness may be gained merely from the fact that the one state of Georgia has ship ped as high as 16.000 carloads of water melons in one season and nearly 10.000 carloads of peaches in the same year. One small town in Mississippi ships 1 nearly 3.000 carloads of tomatoes a year. while thousands of carloads of potatoes, strawberries, cabbage; lettuce, celery, eggplants, pears, watermelons and cau • talonpes are shipped from the different ‘‘ parts of the South. Viewed from the standpoint of the food and health requirements of the country this industry is of national im ’ portauee, while viewed from the stand point of the economic interests of the ( South it means an enormous increase in the prosperity of this section. f Never again can the South be called fi a ‘’one crop" country. It is growing . a larger number of crops than any other part of the land. In some respects it _ is doing more proportionately to feed the t nation than any other part of the couii . try. for not only is it supplying vege , tables and fruits by the hundreds of thousands of carloads, but it is also sup j plying cotton seed oil. peanut oil. soy bean oil. and a vast quantity of other . foodstuffs to add to the larder of the antion. j Two Counties Market on Co-operative , Basis Nearly 3.000.000 Barrels of Po tatoes Annually. ' Typical of the change that has come . about through this new industry of feed ing the nation are the co-operative meth ods of marketing crops, strkingl.v illus trated in the two counties in Virginia which handle nearly.3,ooo.ooo barrels of ] potatoes a year, and which formerly r grew steadily poorer in proportion to the extent of their crops. Tlie potato . growers in that region established a eo < operative marketing system in 1000 . which has now been in successful opera * tion for 23 years. So great has been t its success that these two counties to . day lead the, nation in the average value < of farm products per acre under cultiva tion. __ ( The reports from railroad executives » giving in detail the extent of this truek » ing and fruit development along their lines cover 32 pages of this week’s issue of the Manufacturers Record.
