Wall Street Not Disturbed. .
New York. July 7. The failure of
the First-Second National bank of
Pittsburg did not disturb Wall street.
It is regarded us an isolated case,
having no bearing on the general
banking situation Kuhn's of Pitts
burg are not connected with the
banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb and com
pany, of New York. Stock tickers
carried the following regarding the
failure: "Failure of the First-Second
National bank has been expected for
some time. It Is not regarded as im
portant. The failure was due to loans
on collateral that had greatly depre-
elated in value, Including Wahash,
Water Works and other issues."

tween Hose Companies No. 2 and No.
7 at 5:30 Saturday evening ended the
formal program of entertainment for
the big two-days celegratlon and it
proved to be the most exciting and
most interesting feature staged. It

ranged on the last day.
The two teams charged each other,
No. 2 starting at Water street and No.

company connected with the Court

one on Webb street and they met at

race on the Fourth, succeeded In get
ting water first and had It playing on
the No. 7 nozzlemen almost fifteen
seconds before the latter could return
It. The exchange of streams contin
ued at .ong range and In rather a
desultory manner until No. 2 attached
another length which permitted fight
ing at closer range. Thereupon, five
or six of the No. 2 men charged No.
7, but were beaten back several times
and finally utterly routed when the
No. 7 general dispatched a scout to
turn off the source of supply of the
other, left unguarded by the No.
plugmen.
The water was again turned on.

with arms entwined, alone withstood
the relayed assaults of the other
company. They never gave an Inch

from first to last. When one No. 2
squad had been beaten back by the
terrific force of the other stream, an
other squad would relieve It and re
peat the attack with like results. Fi
nally the attacking party gave evi
dence of submission when John
Mumm, well known young farmer,
emerged from the crowd, seized the
hose and advanced upon the Corf
mans. The defeated firemen rallied
about him and began the attack
anew. Three time they were re

FORECAST WEATHER
SEASON IN ADVANCE
Chicago, July 7. Astronomical dls
coverles that scientists say make it i
possible to forecast weather conditions
a season In advance are announced by
Professor E. B. Frost of Yerkes ob
servatory, Williams Bay, Wis. The
announcement Is the result of 10
years' tabulation of observations of
I the sun. The records show that the
"solar constant" does not exist, as the
sun is a variable star and that solar
radiation Is Indicated by the sun
spots which wax and wane in a reg
ular cycle of 11 years. The observa
tions were made, according to Profes
sor Frost for the purpose of bringing
the science of astronomy to the aid
of agriculture In order that farmers
may know In advance of planting sea
sons what crop prospects are.
Variation In solar heat amounting
to more than 5 per cent In a week
was discovered. Radiation from the
sun Is high when sun spots are nu-
merous
At present sun spots are few
but In four years it may be expected
that a large number will develop, ac
cording to Professor Frost.
Astro-physical observers are now
devoting their chief attention to the
observation of sun spots, which ex
perience has shown are the things
which most affect all conditions of
life on this planet

Association and having witnessed two
performances of the wild west show
staged In connection with the Monta
mara Festo. Roy W. Ritner and
Charles H. Marsh, vice president and
secretary, respectively, of the Round
up, arrived home this morning. They
report that the association decided
to do extensive advertising of the fes
tivals and fairs represented by it dur
ing the coming year and to pay par
ticular attention toward the middle
west with a view to drawing from that
section.
As for the wild west thow. neither
Mr. Ritner nor Mr. Marsh consider it
in the nature of a rival to the Round
up. Both state that there were a
number of good features staged at the
exhibition but that, compared with
the local frontier carnival, It was
rather tame.
"One of their principal difficulties
lay In the fact that practically the
same men had to participate in all of
the events and necessarily there were
delays," declared Secretary Marsh

that no attempt would be made to re
pent the show In the future and he
anticipates a large crowd from that
city In attendance upon the next
