The Kovintr ot me crops eacn year put3 i Mrain upon the currency of the countrv thnt not only deranges the frwra business of the country but which nlco depresses the prices of staple crops. For instance, cotton has dropped ?, cents a pound. This mf-nns rut finer off 25 per cent, of the rnlup of that crop. The loss to the farmer is mormons. TI i? is a crrent injustice and one of enormous proportions. It can be pre vented bv providing a special tempo rary increase of currency for this purpof to l)f retired when the need for it is ovf-r.

Norfolk, Va., Special. A great sensation was created in the Ameri can Federation of Labor Wednesday afternoon by President Gompers in his speech replying to the attacks up on him and other officers of the fed eration by the Manufacturers' Asso ciation, when he told of an alleged at tempt to bribe him at the Victoria Hotel in New York, in October by a young newspaper man, giving his name as Charles Brandenberg, the latter President Gompers said hav ing declared that he represented the National Manufacturers' Association and was prepared to offer him immu nity from all exposure and make him financially secure the remained of his life, if he would sign a certain paper and otherwise aid in tbe "ex posure" of the other leaders in the American Federation of Labor, with the idea virtually of destroying the influence of organized labor of the country. The paper, President Gompers said purported to have been signed when he (Gompers) was ill in 1895. Thif paper, Mr. Gompers said, he had pre served and, while death-like stillness prevailed in the convention, Presi dent Gompers drew forth the orig inal document and read it. . Mr. Gompers, during his recital ol the alleged attempt at bribery, call ed upon different delegates present who were with him at the time ol interviews with Bredenburg, to verify his statements. This the delegation? did, rising in their seats. At tbe close of President Gompers speech there was a great demonstration, even Vic tor L. Berger, of Milwaukee, tbe So cialist opponent of Mr. Gompers, ris ing and with uplifted arms declar ing that although he had at conven tion after convention, bitterly oppos ed tbe re-election of President Gomp ers, he would be the one this yeai to move to make his election unani mous, with a vote of confidence not oniy to President Gompers but to all the officers of the American Federa tiou of Labor.

Tut Belectiaj a Jtrj fTCidb Wttli Hats t Speni the Holiday! under Lck &sd Key and the Ia fentloA of Thaw's Ccxtsscl to Lr tyect the Secrtt Insanity Evideaca Taken Before the Commission e ano&iih!e For the Postponement. .ew York, Special. The second! trilil of fiarry Kendall Thaw, will agaia be postponed, and there is lit tle chance that it will be called until soma date well along in January. The decision to ask for a postpone ment bas been agreed to by both sides. It is due partly to the fact mac ice issic ot selecting a jury would be made doubly hard by the approach of the holidays and the ! prospect before the talismen of f pending Christmas and New Year's Day locked up under the care of court bailiffs and also to the fact that Thaw's counsel has applied to the court for permission to inspect the secret evidence presented before the lunacy commission during the prog ress of the first trial. As an added cause for delay there is a rumor that the attorneys now representing Thaw may apply for a change of venue, de claring a fair trial for their client in New York county is impossible. Such a move, if made, would be based up on the alleged unfriendly attitude of many of the local papers and tbe ex tent to which the evidence was print ed and read in this community. The district attorney win seriously op pose the granting of a change in the scene of the trial. Thaw, in his cell in the famous old Tombs prison, which he has occupied since tne mgnt oi tne tragedy on Madison Square Roof Garden June 25th, 1906, is planning for his second trial with the same confidence of ac quittal that he prepjired for the first ordeaL He daily advises with his counsel, chafes at the delays already encountered in getting his story be fore a second jury and is impatient for his days in court to begin. It is nearly a year. since the first trial was begun. It covered a period of twelve weeks and after two days and two nights of delibration the jury could not agree. Seven of the twelve men who heard the dramatic recital of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw a story of alleged wrongful treatment at the hands of the noted architect; a story of alleged wrongful treatment and cabled to every part of the eivil ized world and rean as one of the most remarkable utterances ever heard in a court room failed to be lieve that her confession to her hus band justified him three years later in taking the life of the man charged with the ruin of his chorus-girl wife. They voted for guilty of murder in the first degree. Five of the jurors, on the other hand, were ready to ac quit, most of them believing that Thaw's mind had been so upset over the story of the girl's downfall that he was bereft of reason and was en titled to that provision of the law which excuses a person so insane as not to know the nature or quality oi his act and not to know that the act is wrong. At the police station the night of the tragedy and afterward in the city prison Harry Thaw con tended he was acting as an agent of Providence in sending Stanford White to his grave. Great interest centres m the course of the defense at the coming trial It is generally believed that despite any ideas of justification which Thaw may entertain, his present lawyers will confine themselves to making out a case of legal insanity. This may be 'emotional" or hereditary, both of been gone into at first trial. -Six or seven allienists took the stand at that hearing and testified that Thaw had been driven insane by the story told him when he and the girl who was to become his wife were stopping together in Paris. Dr. Britton D. Evans, superintendent of the New Jersey State Hospital for the Insane, made a world-wide stir by expressing Thaw's condition of mind the night of the tragedy as a "brainstorm." The dark clouds had been gathering for a year or more,, he declared, and when Thaw saw White "glowering" at him on the roof garden, at the first night of a summer extravangan ra known as "Mile. Champagne,'' the storm broke and Thaw fired. District Attorney Jerome combat- ted this plea with the testimony oi j seven experts, all of whom declared I that Thaw's insanity was not such as to deprive him of knowledge as to the wrongful nature of his act. Not withstanding this, however, they agreed with District Attorney Jerome that Thaw was medically insane, not only at the time of the shooting, but throughout the trial dnring which, thev declared, .he was unable intelli- gently to advise with counsel or to ? appreciate the character of the pro ceedings against him. - a" Eeadltg ef tU Appclstsfsti Wlsds Up Prctah!a ealoa Greensboro, Special- The acnnal xmferenee of the Methodist ProUt int church closed here Monday.

Scrip comes in here, into the various banks, and is handled just as cheeks and is sent for collection to the banks of issue. A lot of this scrip is verjcheaply priced, aud hence there is danger of its being counterfeited.

Thirteen per sons are dead and seven were injured in an incendiary fire that Monday swept tb five-story tenement at Sec ond avenue and 109th street.

When the firemen ar rived the whole building was ablaze. Panic-striken men, women and child ren chocked the narrow stairway and the crowded fire-escape and fought with each other in a frenzy to escape. inirteen ooaies were iound in one room at the top of the house,, hud dled in an indescribable heap, so bad !y burned as to be almost beyond rec ognition. They had tried to make for window near the fire escape, only to fall, overcome by the smoke and flames. Most of them were women and children. Had those who died in the room together kept the door closed until the firemen arrived they would have been rescued, but it is be- ieved they were so badly frightened they did not know what to do. $300,000 In Scrip For Lynchburg.
