Unless some wholly unexpected shift occurs on the twenty-third bal lot the rival workers, have planned to try again at the first opportunity to jar the convention out of its poise and into a landslide. The twenty-second ballot gave Cox 430 .votes, McAdoo 372, Palmer 166, Davis 52, and Cummins 6. This shows Co xto have the great er strength from the twelfth to the twenty-second ballot, although, he lost thirty votes after the twentieth ballot which were recorded for Davis showing an attempt to landslide fn nis favor.

Classes. FIGHT LANGUAGE SCHOOL IIon61ulu, T. II., July 5. The re port of the federal schoo lsurvey commission, just made public by Pro fessor Vaughan MacCaughey, super intendent of public instruction for the -territory, recommended that the Japanese language schools of Hawaii Lo abolished. - The. federal commission was head ed by Dr. Frank F. Bunker, chief of ' the ity school division of the bureau f education at Washington. It is suggested that opportunity be sup plied in the public schools, wherever the demand is smfficient, for study of Oriental languages in special classes after regular school hours, taught by "teachers regularly, employed by the territory. "' " The commission's report declared that "language schools, which in the aggregate outnumber the public sc'-ools of the territory, tfre centers of an influence which, if "not distinct ly anti-American, certainly is un-American." REMIER DESTROY THE LABOR PORTY """"" London," July 5. "Arthur Hender son, secretary of the Labor party, has elated that Premier Lloyd George is ut todestroy the Labor party, but the Premier himself characterized the statement as "simply absurd." "It is perfectly true," he adds, "that I km opposed to the extremists in the Labor party and that I am strongly opposed to the extremist proposals of some of their number. That is a very different matter to be ing out to destroy the Labor party. So far from that I am delighted to see the Labor party seeking by con stitutional aims to achieve its legiti mate aims." Mexico City, July 5. Twelve mil lion Indians, who have slaved for five cents a day for five years at a time to support .1,000,000 idlers, cry" out for help to the newly formed Na tional Agrarian party, according to Crisoforojibanez, who made the key note speech at the party's organiza tion meeting here yesterday, accord ing to El Herahlo de. Mexico. "Since childhood I have Jived the life of the peasants," said Ibanez. "I know how much the toilers of the field hae suffered, how much they need and how" much they merit. They have spent five years at a time earn ing the miserable daily wage of ten centavos (five ""cents) tilling the earth with: the sweat of their brow for other people's profit. In the be ginning of our history as a people the Indians were reduced to worse than nothing by the .Spanish agents, who, to enslave them, inculcated in them fanaticism for the Virgin, of Guadalupe, so as to be able to do anything they pleased with them lat er, by invoicing this name; and the Indian was reduced to slavery. "For this reason the: Indian hates the white man. The . Indians, who call the animal that roams the fields "cuauhcoyote," simply fair the white man "coyote," that is thief. This because for a long time there have been in Mexico 12,000,000 Indians who' have suppored"3, 000, 000 idlers and not a few Europeans who also live off of them." London, July 5. Major General Williapi C Gorgas, surgeon general of the United States army, whose death occurred here yesterday morn ing, was considered one of the world's foremost authorities on military med icine and surgery. He fought and defeated Mie malarial mosquito in Panama and thus made possible the building of that great waterway. He dislodgqd yollow fever from its en turyTold stronghold in Havana and under the direction of the United States government and the Rockefel ler" Foundation supervised campaigns against that dread disease in Central America, Peru and Ecuador.

When j the typhus epidemic began in Serbia in i the war an effort was made to : have him undertake the' campaign ' against it but at that time he was needed to direct the medical and sur gical work for the meric n army in France. He was decorated by the French government and made a commander of the Legion of Honor and knighted by King George of England, the lat ter for, as the King expressed it to him, making possible the construc tion of the great canal.

When General Gorgas became gen eral sanitary officer of the Canal Commission, the annual death toll had been reduced, but it was still diffi cult to obtain the vast army of work men necessary and to care fcr those disabled by malaria, yellow fever and dysentery. In nine years, by a systematic cam paign for the destruction of the mos quito, General Gorgas virtually drove these diseases from the Isthmus. When he gave up the work to ac- 4 WILLI AMSTONE WINS.

Columbus, Ohio, July 5. Unlike any other post oflice in the United States, the management of the one in Columbus is supervised by em ployes. A system of management by the employes, similar to that adopt ed by soma of the, country's .larger industries, has been in operation since February. Postmaster Samuel Kin near says tho system has brought about a number of beneficial changes in the operation of the post office and is proving a success. The innovation was adopted xto bring about a higher standard of ef ficiency to the public and better working conditions for employes. Grievances or suggestions made by employes are reported to committee-1 men, of whom there are about forty. Following their investigation of the complaint or proposal, their recom mendation is reported to the post office council composed of all com mitteemen. The council debates the subject and either approves or re jects the recommendation. The potsmaster has the power to veto all recommendations of ' the council, but it is said that anything approved by the council is likely to receive his approval, as he is heartily in favor of the system. Cameron Morrison, from the best information . obtainable, received a " majority in the second primary, over his opponent ,0. Max Gardner,' in Edgecombe county of approximately 850. This is stated te be a close approx imation, although the returns are coming in slowly and it will be to-; morrow before the tabulation takes place In Attorney Hardison's office. Nash county also gave him 500 ma. jority; Wilson, 719; Lee, 450; New Hanover, 350; and Martin, 300.

Washington, July 5, Widespread complaints that the railroads are not obeying the Interstate Commerce Commission order granting priority to shipments of coal and the prompt return of empty coal cars to the j mines resulted in the commission or dering an invostigation of the alleged infraction. ' A hearing was set for July 8, and a number of witnesses, both for the railroads and shippers, were sum moned. Members of the commission said that, in view of the slowness with which normal movement of coal was being resumed, an attempt will be made to determine whether new and more stringent orders were, nec essary to prevent a serious coal shor tage during the coming winter.

Among the wild Tauregs of the Tripoli desert woman's sway is ab solute. She does not rule by insid ious wheedling, but by outright com mand, and though the women of oth er lands may have the men twisted around their little fingers the Taureg ladies can only be said to have them well under their heel. Among the Tauregs descent is traced entirely through the feminine line, and what little teaching is given to the young is given by the women. , TO ERECTS MONUMENT Lisbon, July C.
