C, Nov. 13.- As a re suit of requests from editors and editor ial associations In many Mates, tho U. 8. l('artmont of Agriculture hns an bounced that the November crop re ports for each state will be supplied to tho uewstsipora In all the stale through the Central Wenther Stutlon located lu each of tho states. This Is an extension of tho exr,ev meat of telegraphing the state cr(, re turns to the (Vntrnl Weather stations in each of the nine state, and having these telegram duplicated at ojico and mull ed to tho nowpor urid agricultural publications. Under-' this plnu news papers in 30 additional states will now receive full detail of the state crops far more quicJ.'Jj' than would bo pes aiblu if tin stale crop details were put In thgT mails In Washington and bitd-to Vravel by train long distance to l)jj'moni remoto states. Tjjder this plan tho general summary of A emps for the Vnlted stales will, a Vorotoforo, be issued In Washington fVr telegraphic- distribution. It has been found, however, that the conditions uf crop within their particular stale are of special vxliie to the farmers and pro ducers, to whom tho conditions in their own state are important in the market ing qf their produce. Under this plan the Department sends one telegrnm to the Central Weather It u re u in each state, und within few minute after the crop figures for the state are completed In Washington (he Weather Bureau Is enabled to mail rnpli of the figur, from a central point within the stale to all paper In that slain. T'ndor the code syMem lined, the de triment Is under Ihe n easily of tel egraphing only a few figures, as the figures of previous crops for compari son aro supplied to etch weather bureau i station by mail. The cost of tho tel- rgrnm for each Male does not exceed 75 cent. The crop ill '1'us circulated by Diuil to the nowKpnpers will five) (a) a full list of the crops; (b) the aver age condition of each crop for ten year periods in that particular state; (c) the condition of tho state crops for November 9th. In the adjoining col umn will be given the same data for the United States, so that the farmers Who read these notices can compare the crops in their state as of November 9th with the ten-year averages of their own state, and in the same way with the average condition throughout the United States on November 9th and for ton years. These state crop reports are not sup plied to individuals, and are mailed only to editors of regular publications. The November statt. crop reports for the 39 states newly added to the list will be sent only to the daily papers, the county seat papers, and the agricul tural publications. Maanwhile, the de partment is preparing lists of small town weeklies, and in December the crop reports will be sent also to the smaller papers. diiitbd rusa La is so wns Cleveland, 0., Nov. 13. Seven years ago Carl Buhl, then nineteen, witnessed a railroad wreck. An engineer of a switch engine had asked a tower man whether a certain passenger train hod passed that point. He was informed it had and pulled his engine onto the track. A few minutes later, the en gineer wbs dead, a passenger train was wrecked and several other lives were lost in the collision. Tho tower man had made a mistake. Today Carl Buhl, electrician and inventor, has perfected what ho believes to be tho one complete and most important railroad signalling and safety device in existence. His invention, ho claims, flashes danger signals before the engineer's eyes right in the engine cab honce fog or other bad wenther conditions will not inter fere with the engineer getting all the signals. An ingenious contact device Is the key to the situation. In oxplanining his dovice Buhl shows a miniature lo comotive on a miniature track, A white light burns in the engineer's cab as long as the tnack is clear for throe blocks ahead. Another train on the track within that distance causes a contact which shows a green light in the cab. Within three blocks of any break in the rails the contact flashes a red light in the cab. If for somo reason tho lights should not work, a bell rings automat ically. Perhaps the most valunble part of tho invention is seen when the engiueer dies or fulls unconscious at his post. If such Is the ease, and the red or green light shows, the breaks are automatical ly thrown on when the train eiitors the Inst block. Buhl hns worked for seven years on tho invention and"ls seeking recognition from the railroads. He is considering placing his invention be fore members of tlie Interstate Com merce Commission, FACTIONAL UNION FIGHT IN FEI8CO IS UNSETTLED (uvitkd ruins ijisiu wisa.) Senile, Wash., Nov. 13. All chances for a settlement of tho disputoAiotweon different factious of the electrical Lworhors' union at tho present Ameri can Federation of Lubor convention, seemed lost odny when it was an nounced by thoso on the inside that President McNuIty, of the recognized union, would not resign, or stnnd for anything but a coinplutn surrender on tho part of t'io Heed Murphy faction. P. H. McCarthy, of Sun Francisco, Is preuV.wl to fight tho McNnlty organl union to a finlt.li, but sn.vs I hut the mutter will bo considered a cloned In cident unless brought 'before the con vention by friends of tho Held Mur phy faction. Delegates acquainted with the situa tion at San Frnuelseo, where the Mi) Nully union supplied strike-brenkcra to help break up tho ether faction, say that this was a very questionable ac tion, and many say that McNnlty should step aild In tho Interest of har mony, and tho labor situation in gen eral, Resolutions calling fur Investiga tion of tho situation have already been presented to the convention, A resoiilntiuu ws presented by Del egate Paul Scharrenberg and Patrick Flynn, of Pan Francisco asklug the federation to endorse the strike of the Light, and Power Council of California against the Paclfle tins and F.toctric company and record lis disapproval of the supplying of striko breaker by a man named ! runner and hi sponsors, said to bo the International Brother hood of Electrical worker, of which McNnlty Is president. Scharrenberg also Introduced a resolution asking the federation to express Its disapproval of any effort to Interfere with the strike. 8INK8 WITH CREW. trstTun i'a tso wis.

"There are elements in the Mexican situation which make me most hopeful," said President Wilson, in a statement issued today. "I believe we will be able to reach an agreement clearing up the entire mat ter." The president would not be quoted farther, but ho made it jilain that an agreement was in sight involving the elimination of Huerta, and everything he represents, from the Mexican gov ernment. The chief executive would not discusB tho information on which ho based his optimism, but it was evident that he was more cheerful than at any time since his emissary, John Lind, was sent to Mexico. Look More Favorable. Washington, Nov. 13. 'There are elements in tho Mexican situation which I caunot at present discuss, which make it look to me very much more fa vorablo," said President Wilson this afternoon. Inasmuch as communications had boon received from. Lind at Vera Cms; Charge d' Affaires O'Shaughnessy in Mexico City, and William Bayard Hale at Nogales, Ariz,, following his con ference on tho Mexican side of the border with Goneral Carranza, it was conjectured that a triangular corre spondence was progressing which meant not only Huerta 's early retirement, but also truce between the warring Mexi can factions. It was believed that a settlement had virtually beou reached on a provision al president, satisfactory to both ele ments to succeed Huerta, and continue to serve until an election can be held. No detail or definite announcement would bo piado, however, it was under stood until after the negotiation have been closed, and the last possibility of a slip eliminated. Situation Critical. Vera Cruz, Nov. 13. Many Ameri cans from Mexico City came to Yern Cruz on the same train with Lind, and wont to hotels until steamships leave, on which they enn return to the United States. Some of them said that the situation at the capital was critical, and trouble between tho United States and Mexico extremely likely, unless Mexico weakens, Bryan Not Talkative. Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary of State Bryan admitted that Charge d' Affaires O'Shaughnessy had telegraph ed, saying Emissary Lind had started for Vera Cruz, and that a long message lind been received from William Bayard Hale, following tho hitter's conference with General Currntun. But tho secre tary would not discuss details.

MANAGER SYHTEM IS DISCUSSED AT MEETING , Tho charter committee- discussed the commission form question at some length Inst evening. Mayor Steevcs ami Max Ochlhnr disagreed as to the powers of the man to be empleyed as manager, the mayor claiming that, the manager should not have the power of appropriating money, and should not be treasurer. It was decided that the suspensory veto system was belt. This means that when the mayor disapproves of any bill It will be laid over a week be fore being voted en aim in. The plan discussed lust night pro posed the election of eommlsisoner and a recorder. The commissioners would select the manager. The question of salary was not decided. BREATHE FREELY!

Get a small bottle anyway, just to try it Apply a little in the nostrils and instantly your clogged noie and stop-ped-up air passages of the head will open; you will breathe freely; dullness and headache disappear. By momingt the catarrh, cold-in-head or catarrhal sore throat will be gone. End such misery now! Get the small bottle of "Ely's Cream Balm" at any drug store. This sweet, fragrant balm the whole trouble arises over the fact that the notes are not in the custody of the legal officer. I have consulted at torneys in whom I have the utmost con fidence, and in whom the board has confidence, and they say the clerk of of the board is the legal custodian of the funds. Had they been in the hands of the legal custodian, this trouble would not have occurred." He then read a resolution directing the state treasurer to turn the notes and mortgages over to the clerk of the board and if he refused, to direct the district attorney to begin mandamus proceedings. "That is satisfactory to me," said Kay. "I have tho opinion of the attorney-general that I am the legal cus todian of the school funds and that they are covered by my bonds. I will not turn them over until the court di rects. I will vote against the resolution to turn thorn ovor, but in favor of di: recting mandamus proceedings be com menced. You know that heretofore the funds have been with tho state treasur er and I do not think it would be good policy to foreclose the delinquent notes." "I don't give a damn what past boards have done," West hotly broke in. ' ' "It made a difference to me," said Kay. "Since this is a session for the news papers and a play to the galleries, I want to make a statement for the press," said Kay, when there was a short lull In the firing. "Ever since tho fund has been kept in the state hoiiBO, it has been kept by the state treasurer. The interest is collected the same now as then, and more closely, and the fund is a million dollars larger. Since this board came into existence not a dollar hns been lost. The attorney-general says I am the legal custo dian of this fund and I will not turn it over against his advice," "I, too, want to make a statement," said West. "You can state for me that the reason the state has suffered no luss, Is that the delinquent notes have been reported to tho board and losses ascertained. The bond given by tho state treasurer doos not cover those notes, but just the duties of his office." There wns much moro ulong these linen, but someone brought tho matter to a hend by proposing a vote and this was taken. Tho governor and secretary of state voted in favor of tho resolution that, the state treasurer turn the funds over to (1. 0. Brown, clerk of the land board and the battle ended. With bow ed heads and contrite spirits the board adjourned anil disintegrated itself into its original compenent parts. It re main to be seen whether Kay will turn over the nearly 8,0(10.000 or the board bring action nguiust him to compel him to do so. The balance of it is for the courts. SUIT BROUGHT TO ASCERTAIN WHAT LAW 19 TODAY According to John 11. MeXnry, one of the attorneys representing John Stell man in the injunction unit brought last night to restrain the county court from declaring the election held November 4, the injunction has not been brought for the purpose of delaying matters or in any way defeating the wishes of the people. Attorney McNury said, when asked if the Injunction would le argued today: "We are willing to argue the matter at any time; the sooner th better. This suit ha not been instigated for the pur Mwe of holding up the enforcement of any election, and we are prepared to ap pear just as soon as the state announces that it is ready. This suit has been brought for the sole purpose of ascer taining whin her or not tho law has been followed! if the election has been held strictly In accordance with the rules laid down by statute and whether or not the county court has the authority to declare the election held on Novem ber 4," Attorney McNary further stated that the in junction was not brought for the purMM of keeping the saloon open or fighting either the dry or the wet cle ment, but for the pnrHsn of determin ing the law involved.

CHUECH GOING COST REDUCED BT TARIFF BT BOND P. GEDDES (Staff Correspondent of the United Press) Washington, Nov. 13. The American husband who has been wont to settle himself in his easy chair, plant his foot on another, and spend Sunday morning reading the newspapers, and also the husband who playB folf whilst wife and children represent the family at church, will have lees excuse here after than ever, before to "cut" divine sorvice. The new democratic tariff law it is confidently believed will make church-going cheaper. For one thing, the import of twenty five per cent, which amounts to about 50 cents apiece on the popular editions of foreign made biblee, is removed en tirely. All down the line of religious supplies, the new tariff aims at retail reductions. OrganB are reduced ten per cent in import duty, stained glass windows should be some cheaper owing to a ten per cent tariff cut; music is reduced ten per cent and church furni ture from seven to ten per cent. Another series of reductions in the tariff which should rnuke all church supplies cheaper is aimed at all tracts, pamphlets and religious paraphernalia, from which import duties have been en tirely removed. Going on the theory that the democrats, as they promised, would remove or lower import tariffs on all "necessaries of life," the new schedules on religious goods of all kinds show that the National congress is at least religious and believes religion a "necessity." Grandma, by the way, should be able to got along with less expenditure, since the tariff has been so cut on spectacles and pepermint drops, that the former should be about fifteen per cent cheap er, and the latter almost as much so.

Columbia George was found guiltyof murder in the second degree yesterday by a jury in the United States court for killing Timot, an aged squaw, on July 6, 1912. The prisoner is an Indian, and his al leged victim resided on the Umatilla reservation, adjoining the city. Timot 's body was discovered on July 7, 1912, in a creek flowing threngh the ranch of Sam Bittner. Evidently she had been Btruck behind the ear by a stone. Columbia George was arrested the day following the discovery of the body. It was charged at the time and substantiated in the trial just closed, that Columbia George was the last per son seen with the squaw. This was on July 6. Other Theories Offered. The present trial lasted nine days and the defense put up a hard fight, dwelling on two theories, other than the one held out by the .prosecution. One was that Timot came to her weath by being kicked by 'a horse as she wns attempting to mount the animal, and tho other that sho was sluin by another squaw, who, it wns alleged, hod cause to be jailous of Timot. ' Colonel J. H. Raley and R. J.

United States Judge Bean presided over the trial and A. E. Johnson was prosecutor. Liberty Cut Short. . Columbia George had been released from the federal penitentiary at Mc Neil's Island only a few weeks previ ous to the murder of Timot. He had been convicted several years ago of the murder Edna Anna, a squaw, whom he alleged waB a witch. Together with Toy Toy, another Um atilla Indian, Columbia George, in duced Edna Anna to drink whiskey which they had poisoned. They both confessed the crime, Columbia George being sentenced to hang. The death sentence was commuted to life impris onment and in 1912 President ' Taft pardoned Columbia George, who re turned to his wife on the reservation. Toy Toy previously had been released from prison. Soon after his release Columbia George began drinking, and the death of Timot and the subsequent trial and conviction followed.
