"WASHINGTON, July lJ.-Thc new sys tem of preparing the monthly crop re ports, delayed .since the cotton investiga tion began, was put In force today. That report was made public late this after noon, and .Secretary "Wilson believes that the steps taken to safeguard the figures were- well-nigh' perfect.

The telephones in the room have been discontinued, and a care ful scrutiny was kept of the windows to avoid the possibility of a leak through private signals. !No communications of any sort have been received from Mr. Price or his 'at torney, and the Secretary believes that o far as the cotton investigation report is concerned, it is a closed incident. ACCEPTS HIS INVITATION France Sends Message to Sultan Agreeing to Conference. PARIS. July 11. The acceptance by France of the invitation to take part in the international conference on Morocco was dispatched by special messenger to the Sultan last night. Plans are being matured whereby similar instructions will be communicated to the French and Ger man representative? In Morocco relative to the Sultan's preparation " of a pro gramme for the conference. The successful ' termination of the Franco-German negotiations continue to be widely discussed. The tone of -the press i universally favorable. The In-cldent- serves to strengthen Premier Rou vler's prestige, as public opinion i grati fied -that .he -succeeded In averting a grave crisis with Germany without sacrificing the national dignity. The diplomats are inclined to view the settlement as a natural sequence of the change In the ministry of foreign affairs from M. Delcasse to M. Rouvler, as the former placed his chief reliance on France's strong ties with Great Britain, whereas M. Rouvier's policy sought to Improve France's relations with Germany without weakening those with Great Brlt .aln The officials say that the time and place -of the Morrocoan conference will not be decided upon till after a full con ference between Berlin and Paris. SERMAX PORTS IX MOROCCO Secret Agreement With- Sultan Means Menace to Gibraltar. NEW YORK, July 11. M. Jean Hess, the well-known traveler and author of an Important work on .Morocco, who Is cred ited with great personal Influence over the Sultan, Is quoted In a Paris dispatch to the Times as authority for the state ment that Germany has made a secret agreement with the Sultan for the con struction of two ports on the Mediterra nean coast which directly menace Gib raltar. ' The international conference, M. Hess declares, will by arrangement between the Sultan and Germany be brief and amount tp nothing more than the confirmation of the -Sultan's political and commercial in dependence and the Integrity of his em pire. As soon as this result is achieved, the Sultan,, in the exercise of bis independ ence, will grant to a German company, subsidized by the German government, a concession for the construction of the two ports in question, and the powers will then be unable to offer any opposition, being bound by acquiescence in the deci sions of the conference. M. Hess thinks, however, that the fear of provoking a European war. which in evitably would result In the conquest and partitioning df his own empire, may in the end prevent the "Sultan from striking this dangerous bargain with Germany. AIL POWERS PARTICIPATE. j Others Will Follow Lead of France and Germany 'in "Morocco. PARIS. July ll.-The Council of Minis ters today went over the results of the France-German-Moroccan agreement and prepared a programme for submission to Parliament preparatory to the Summer recess. Premier Rouvler and Prince von Radolln are now discussing the prelimin aries of the programme to be recom mended to the Sultan of Morocco and the time and place for holding the con ference In Morocco. It is expected that Italy. Spain. Austria Hungary, the United States and other powers will follow the course of France In attending the conference. TUXXEL UXDER THE FARFADET Xcw Scheme to Raise Submarine; Hope for Crew Abandoned. PARIS. July 11. The Ministry- of -Marine today received a despatch from Bizertu. Tunis, announcing that the divers are seeking to make a tunnel under the sub marine boat Farfadet, which still lies deeply imbedded in the mud bottom of the harbor,- .in the hope that they will probably be able to pass hawsers around the boat and hoist her to the surface. The dispatch docs not mention the crew of the submarine, the succoring of whom has been entirely abandoned. Cof fins have been prepared and are awaiting the bodies. A large relief fund has been raised for the families of the victims. Marine Minister Thomson continues to supervise the work of raising the Far fadet and is also consulting with the commandant of the port with the view of strengthening the naval defense of Bl zerta. Commend Agreement on Morocco. ST. PETERSBURG. July 11. The pa pers here generally consider that France's amicable agreement with Germany on the subject of Morocco was wise, con tending that France, instead of suffering, secures dlstanct recognition by Germany of her interests in Morocco. The Novoo Vremya considers that the situation be tween the two countries was not dis similar to the situation which existed be tween Russia and Japan before the war and commends France's prompt apprecia tion of her Indefensible position. "Krance," the paper says, "did not hesitate to remove the minister who was dragging the country Into war." ELKS ELECT NEW OFFICERS BROWX. OF LOUISVILLE, GRAXD EXALTED RULER.

The "de cay of a state Is its failure to enforce Its laws," declared Governor Folk of Missouri In his address before the Fre mont Chautauqua Assembly tonight. "There Is nothing; to a state but Its laws. The cities. Its lands and it wealth do not constitute It. Its per petuity depends upon its rigid carrying out of the laws its people make." Governor Folk's topic was "BooJIe and Boodlers," and his address was largely upon his experiences In enforc ing tiie law In Missouri. He declared graft Is so prevalent that It has be come conventional. Men who believe themselves honest fall into the way. With the disregard for law tho toler ance of graft jjrow. till .It was so universal as not to be thought much of. "This country's greatest evil," said Governor Folk, "Is graft. Graft has a general prevalence. It has been prosecuted. Before the prosecution of grafters bogan in St. Louis there had been only two or three such prosecu tions in the history of the country. In St. Louis tnc House of Delegates for 14 years passed not a single fav orable bill for which a price was not paid. The value of votes was fixed."

The Cor oner's Investigation today of the Mitchell tragedy developed the fact that Mrs. Mitchell was about to begin proceedings for a divorce and division of the small property which they owned. The jury's verdict Ignored the Insanity theory, the finding being that Edward H. Mitchell feloniously killed his wife before he com mitted suicide. The testimony of their neighbors de veloped the fact that tle woman had displayed wonderful nerve In remaining In the house with Mitchell. Mrs. Mitchell, according to the testimony of a neighbor, on Wednesday last told her husband that she intended to seek a separation. In a frenzy Mitchell seized her around the waist, threw her to the floor and then reached to a tabic near at hand and took up a caning knife. He told her he was going to cut her throat, but after 15 minutes' pleading she induced him to re lease her. The skin of the woman's cheek and neck wore painfully burned by coals which fell from a pipe that Mitchell held in his teeth while they were strug gling. Mrs. Moore, a neighbor, urged Mrs. Mitchell to leave the house, but Mrs. Mitchell declared her husband "was only bluffing." Mrs. Moore also upbraided Mitchell, but he declared that he was In earnest and meant to kill his wife If she began divorce proceedings.

UNDER FORTY-FIVE HOURS Previous Records From Los Angeles Beaten by Nearly Eight Hours. Average Speed Across Con- tlncnt 51 Miles an Hour. CHICAGO, July 11. With every car blackened by a delirious record breaking run from Los Angeles to Chicago, the Walter Scott special on the Santa Fe railroad arrived here at 11:54 A. M.. aavlng- beaten all pre vious records by hours, as well as bettering the special train's own ex acting schedule. The time was faster than the best estimates of railroad men. Consisting of a baggage-car, diner and private living-car, the train which left Los Angeles at 1 P. M. Sunday, came Into the Polk-street station to day almost at top speed, having made the run of 2244 miles in 44 hours and 54 minutes. This Is 23 hours and 5 minutes faster than the time of the regular Santa Fe limited; It is 3 hours and 6 minutes faster than the original contract called Tor, which was 4S hours, and beats even the later sched ule of 45 hours by 6 minutes. The best previous time for this run was made by the Peacock special In 1900 In a "race against death," but tho record of this train by the per formance consummated today Is. beat en by 7 hours and 55 minutes. Ex traordinary timo was made eastbound from Dodge City, Kansas, where the train arrived 35 minutes late last night at 9:31 o'clock. But a good roadbed, clear track and expert work by the engineer and fire man not only enabled Scott to regain the lost time, but to beat his closest and most hopeful calculations by six minutes. The train was In excellent condition when it arrived, save for the coating of dust and grime. The crew was, smiling and happy, although showing traces of the strain it had under gone. Eliminating- stops, or "dead" time, which aggregated 59 minutes, the spe cial made the run In 43 nodrs and 55 minutes, an average for the entire dis tance of 22412 miles, of 51 miles per hour. The fastest time of the run was made between Chilllcothe and Coal City, III. a distance of 71 miles, which was cov ered at the rate of 65 miles per hour.
