Report on Conditions.
TOPEKA. Kan.. June 10. (Special.)
"Wheat and oats are made," is the
report coming to th Kansas w earner
Bureau from every section of th state.
What th result will be can only b
told when the threshing machines fin
ish their work.
s.rretarv Coburn. cf the State Boara
of Agriculture, never makes items on
growing crops; his work deals merely
with conditions. But there are many
wheatgrowcrs and elevator men who
..min. the fluids and compare the
conditions with other years and esti
mate the probable total yield. The
majority of reports and estimates of
the so-called experts who have viewed
the wheat belt for Eastern boards of
trade from a cushioned seat In passen
ger train traveling at the rat of 80
mil's an hour agree that ths total
wheat vield in Kansas this year will
not be much above 60.000.000 bushels.
The dry weather of Spring ana the
hot wave the last two weeka hav cut
the straw short and prematurely
ripened the wheat. . Generally headers

wheat, notwithstanding its bulk and
the interest manifested In the early
Spring aa to Its condition and pros
pects Is a side Issue.
The value of wheat axown on Kan
sas farms In two or three seasons out
nt these nast IS has exceeded that of
corn, but the grand total during the
last 20 years puts corn far in tne leaa.
Corn Is the dependable crop in Kan
sas. In 1908 its value to the state was
20.000,000 greater than that of wheat.
In former years this rate has been
m.int.fnoH in 190Z the corn value of
the state exceeded that of wheat nearly
Ifty million. It was worth more tnan
f nnn linn more than all other Droducts
nf the soil that rear. In two preceding
seasons corn outvalued all other field
products, wheat Included.
The unfavorable condition of wheat
this year brings these facts home to
the farmers. Hundreds of fields have
been planted the third time. The farm
ers look hopefully for a big corn crop
-hen the wheat yieia is snort, lor iney
now that its value will even up
tiling. This thouaht caused many
farmers to plow up fields of wheat
where the stand was thin on the
rronnd and Dlant corn in Its place.
Many admit now that they made a mis
take In doing so. for owing to drought
the corn outlook Is unfavorable.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. (Spe
cial.) "The Judgment of the' court Is
that tbsse boys appear at the' lesgue
ball game next Friday afternoon as
my guests."
This was the sentence Imposed to
day by Superior Judge Graham, also
president of the Pacific Coast League,
on six frowsy-haired youngsters, who
were taken before him on a juvenile
charge.
They had been arrested and taken
before Judge Murasky In the Juvenile
Court yesterday for sneaking Into
Recreation Park and watching the
games. Residents In the vicinity pf
the park complained that the lads were
breaking down fences and damaging
property to climb over the high fence
which incloses the ball grounds. All
lined up before Judge Murasky yester
day afternoon and the Juvenile Court
judge heard the evidence against the
youngsters and then listened to their
stories. They all pleaded guilty, but
in palliation of their offense they told
the court through their . spokesman,
Louis Macchia:
"We ain't got no money to pry our
way In, and we want to see the games.
Judge Murasky was lenient with the
youngsters and ordered thera to ap
pear before Judge Graham this morn
ing and likewise entered an order that
Judge Graham should take the boys
to the game on their solemn .promise
that they would never again sneak into
the park or damage property near the
park.

NEW YORK. June 10. An elec

swooped down upon this section to
day and for hours played havoc
with wire communication in all di
rections. The storm broke with ter
rific force shortly after 1 o'clock.
It was brought In on a wind of al
most hurricane velocity and accom
panied by a downpour .that bore a
strong resemblance to a cloudburst.
Plate glass windows were smashed,
street signs blown down and other
damage done. Pleasure-seekers
were caught unawares and the

CHICAGO, June 10. (Special.)
Eleven deaths and 50 prostrations were
reported today as the result of heat on
the eve of a thunderstorm which is
expected to "bring relief to the city
tomorrow. The mercury went upward
with a rush, but did not reach yester
day's record mark by half a degree.
The suffering, however, was Quite as
severe, owing to the murky conditions
which precede a heavy storm. The
heat particularly affected the aged.
The wave continued eastward. There
is a promise of thunderstorms tomor
row to relieve the situation.
Prominent Woman Stricken.
Several prominent persons succumbed
to the heat. ' Among them was Mrs.
Mary A. Casey, who settled in Chicago
when the Indians were here. She was
80 years old and was a sister of Gen
eral Robert W. Healy, U. S. A., and
James T. Healy, former United States
subtreasurer here.
After a night that gave little relief,
with the mercury standing at 83 de
grees at midnight, Chicago was like
an oven in the early hours today.
Thousands of downtown workers, re
leased by Saturday holiday precedent,
flocked through the torrid canons be
tween the loop office buildings at noon
and hurried to the parks, the excursion
steamers and caravansaries where are
dispensed temporarily cqoling drinks.
Laborers Are Prostrated.
Other thousands, laborers, teamsters,
settlement workers In the congested
district, got through the afternoon's
work as best they could. Here and
there a teamster dropped senseless
from his seat a pedestrian fell In his
tracks. Police ambulances were kept
busy caring for the prostrated.
The dead in today's heat wave are:
Margaret Gallfriend, died suddenly at
home: William Seye. 62 years old, died
after falling over a railing at his home
while dizzy as the result of heat: Mrs.
