WASHINGTON, D. C., A up. 30.-Whnt
the neighbors say and think and suspect
In a rural community can be passed
along by the gossipers and magnified to
such an extent that much trouble and
annoyance can come to other neighbors,
as was demonstrated today when Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Martin Dies of Beau-
mont, Tex., returned to Mount Rainier, a
Maryland village near Washington, fol-
lowing a short trip away from this vi-
cinity.
It was told in these dispatches last
night how the Justice of the Peace and
the lion-hearted Town Constable broke
Into the Dies bungalow at Mount Ranier
last night to see if the Texas Congress-
man and his wife had met with foul
play. They found the home nicely fur-
nished and kept, but no Mr. and Mrs.
Dies. The Congressman had "disap-
peared" Saturday last, the neig! 1 ors ad-
vised the Justice of the Peace, and they
"hadn't saw him since." Mrs. Dies had
been left all alone and appeared nervous,
went on the gysslp, and then she, too,
"mysteriously disappeared," and "with-
out feeding the chickens!" The fact the
chickens had been left by themselves in
the countryside aroused the neighbors all
the more. Surely something has hap-
pened, "something awful," they told the
local officers. The house was then
broken into.
"What else were we to do?" Justice ot
the Feace Robert E. Joyce asked, In ex-
plaining his and Constable Howard
Payne's heroic course, following the safe
and serene return home of Mr. and Mrs.
Dies this afternoon. ."This is a small
place and you know how the neighbors
talk and get excited In such places. They
said there was something wrong, and
that Mrs. Dies seemed distracted before
she disappeared, so I called the Town
Marshal In conference, and we decided
the only thing for us to do was to break
in the house."
Because there is no telephone connec-
tion with the aforementioned neighbor-
hood. and to settle the matter finally,
The Express correspondent wen^ to the
Mount Rainier settlement this evening,
and after wading through much mud in
a driving rain, found the hillside home
of Mr. and Mrs. Dies.
Mr. Dies humorously regretted the
chickens had not. been fed by Mrs. Dies
yesterday morning when she left to meet
him, and explained he had made the
woeful mistake of not going around to
the neighbors and telling thurn he would
be absent a few days on a business trfp.
Since the inarriago of Mr. Dies and his
pretty stenographer-secretary, who was a
Miss Genevieve Miller of this city, last
December, they have made this alleged
quiet spot, Mount Rainier, their home. In
order to avoid notoriety Mr. Dies re-
sorted to the "stunt" of Mr. Justice
Hughes of the United States Supreme
Court and went under an assumed name
while in Mount Rainier. He Is known as
Marlon Davis there, but when it was
learned his real name Is Dies it was con-
sidered something scandalous among the
neighbors. Mr. Dies has been charged by
some yellow newspapers in the East with
neglecting his congressional duties and
biding in the country. The Behumofit
Congressman said tonight he has not
missed three roll calls since he came to
Congress.
Mr. and Mrs. Dies will sail for Texas
from New York next week.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Auk .10. -There
will be no dip down into Texas by Presi-
dent Taft on his 15,000-mile swing through
the West, which will start at Boston Sep-
tember 17 and end here about November 1,
according to White House statements.
This is no time for him to visit a State so
overwhelmingly Democratic and whose Re-
publicans have not been Innoculated with
the virus of insurgency. Every little
movement in this contemplated, record-
breaking presidential tour is to have a
meaning all its own. The trip will eat an
$18,000 hole in the $25,000 annual allowance
for the President for traveling expenses,
and while the itinerary has not been filled
out in detail, only those places will be
selected for speechmaklng where blows will
count.
That has been concluded by the Presi-
dent and hie little coferie of political ad-
visers. There 1s too much explaining of
vetoes necessary, Just at this time in
States whose Republicanism is not on
straight. Therefore Mr. Taft will use a
tidy sum, contributed by the taxpayers
expressly to permit hlin to mingle with
the people, for an early electioneering
campaign. The President feels sure of his
renoraination; this trip will be mainly a
plea for re-election, for which lie thinks
be has an even chance at least with the
Democrats.
TO MEET INSURGENTS.
Real politicians do not blame him for
killing two birds with one stone, or for
making pot shots. lie will mingle with
the people, but the mingling, accompanied
by the Taft smile and the Taft hand-
shake, will be done among those who are
normully Republicans. Of course, if his
train hesitates at a Democratic water tank
from necessity, a rear-end speech to the
erring brothers may be forthcoming. But
to travel the breadth of Texas, either go-
ing to or coming from the Pacific Slope,
with Senator Brlstow In Kansas, Senator
Clapp in Minnesota, Senator LaFollette In
Wisconsin, Senator Crawford In South Da-
kota and Senator Borah In Idaho, wearing
their Insurgent fighting caps, would be
to take a rather out-of-the-way route.
The insurgent Republican Senators
named and Senator Polndexter in Wash-
ington, Senator Bourne In Oregon and
local Insurgents In California, are not
letting the grass grow under their feet In
anticipation of tithe President's visit to
those Insurgent strongholds. In two of
these States, Kansas and Wisconsin, about
the most the President expects to accom-
plish is to convince the natives he is not
as black as he Is being painted by the
local Representatives in Congress. While
sure of his renomination, President Taft
does not overlook the fact the LaFollette
boom has taken root and is sprouting, and
he feels it would not be time thrown away
to dissuade n few voters from nurturing
the plant.
It will be noticed the President deigns
to mention LaFollette's name, since the
Wisconsin Senator's spectacular and well-
nigh fruitful tariff revision fight, as an
ally of the Democrats, in the recent ses-
sion of Congress. A note of the 1912 cam-
paign was sounded by the President In his
speech In fhe little town of Hamilton,
Mass., the other day, when he took the
trouble to deride the Democratic organiza-
tion and "Senator LaFollette and others"
for passing a wool bill, a free list bill
and a cotton bill. The Democrats ''pur-

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.—Opinion In
the cotton market In more divided than
usual over the monthly report on the con-

The next report is due to be published at
11 o'clock, central time, Friday.
The September report on condition is
looked upon as probably tiie most im-
portant this season. It generally is ac-
knowledged deterioration has taken place
since the last report; the dispute la over
how great the deterioration has been.
The report will carry the growing crop
down to August 25. July 25 the condi-
tion was put at 88.1. Tha consensu, of
opinion this month points to about T7, or
a decrease of twelve points. There are
many! traders, however, who believe the
delerloratlon has been only ten points
and that the figures will be 79. The range
of opinion is from 73 to SO. Probably
those extremes report the effort to In-
fluence opinion one way or the other
more than they do serloua guesses as to
what the report will be. A year ago the
condition of the crop waa 72.1, and two
years ago (13.7.
Although a report of 77 would be con-
sidered bearish, bears point out that it
would be stlil well above the average and
would point to a very targe yield. It Is
safe to say that to cause much of an ad-
vance the flglires must come around 75,
while 7lt or 80 would probably cause a
slump.
The Jeterloral4on of the month was due
in a large measure to the drouth and high
temperatures. It is generally considered
much of the damage took place in the
western half of the belt.

BAILEY IKES STATEMENT
Calls Attention to Wet and Dry Issue
in the Legislature of
Texas.
Staff SpooUI to The Express.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 30.-Re-
garding the failure of the Texas Senate
to adopt the Hudspeth.resolution endors-
ing his tariff record last Saturday, Sena-
tor Bailey, when asked for a statement
today, >eald: t ,
"The most signifies!^ fact In connec-
tion with the entire proceeding la that on
both occasions when the matter was be-
fore the Senate, the Senators who have
heretofore supported me with a single
exception on each occasion divided ac-
cording to thqlr position on the prohibi-
tion question: but the anil-Bailey men
did not permit their differences over the
prohibition question to divide them, for
on the last occasion, as well as on the
first, they voted without exception to pre-
vent endorsement of my tariff views.
"When the resolution first was pre-
sented the prohibitionists asserted It was
intended to divide them, but the bad faith
of that claim was made apparent last Sat-
urday, when Senator Alayfield sought to
amend the resolution approving my posi-
tion on the tariff question by adding a
declaration with respect to the prohibi-
tion question. If offering a tariff
amendment to a prohibition resolution
was bad faith on the part of my friends
In the first Instance, then certainly an
attempt to add a prohibition amendment
to a tariff declaration was bad faith on
tha part of my enemies In the second in-
stance.
"The antl-Ballev prohibitionists are
very prompt to plead against a division
among thetn when that stilts their pur-
pose, but they abandon my prohibition
friends without hesitation whenever they
can promote the opposition to me by do-
ing ao. The episode, however, is not
without Its value to me, for It fully In-
structs ma aa to my futura courae.'*
VITERBO, Italy, Aug. 30.—Enrico Al-
fano, the alleged head of the Camorrlsts,
and Giuseppe Minichiello, another mem-
ber of the Camorra, now on trial for
the murder of Cuoccolo and his wife,
were condemned to three months im-
prisonment today for insulting Cavallere
Blanchi, president of the court.
When the session was resumed this
morning, the prisoners were again con
fronted with a carabineer whose testi-
mony of the finding of Cuoccolo's ring
caused Alfano and Minichiello to take
offense at the manner in which questions
were put to the witness and shouted
that the judge was suggesting the an-
swers. They caused so much confusion
the proceedings were Interrupted.
After the tumult subsided, the public
prosecutor demanded Alfano and Min-
ichiello be tried on the charge of in-
sulting the Judge and the two chief dis-
turbers were condemned to six months
imprisonment. The excited state of th
prisoners, however, induced the Judge to
reduce the sentence to three months in-
each case.

Jesus Urneta Makes Sarcastic Attack
Upon Candidate for Vic© Presi-
dency Which Is Answered In
Dramatic Fashion by
Luis Cabrera,
CITY OF MEXICO. Aug. n«
dissenting voice Francisoo I. Madero this
afternon received the nomination of tha
Progressive party for President, but Dr.
Francisco Vasquez Gomez, his old run-
ning mate and erstwhile agent of tha
revolution at Washington, was grilled by
partisans of three other candidates for
the vice presidency.
When the convention adjourned tonight
the candidacy of no other man than Vaa-
quez Gomes for the rice presidency fca<!
been coneidered. Jose Pine Suarea con-
tinued a favorite In the betting with Al-
fred Robles Domingues as second choioa.
A ballot tonight probably would have re-
sulted in a division of honors for third
place between Dr. Vasquex and Fernando
Iglesias Calderon.
Madero was the only candidate for th«
presidency whose name was placed befora
the convention. No speech was mada.
The chairman announced his candidacy,
went through the formality of asking If
there were others, and was greeted by a
chorus of "nos." One delegate seated on
the stage attempted to make a speech in
Madero'a support. The delegates shouted
him down and called for a vote. It was
unanimous. An instant later every dele-
gate was on his feet and to their chorus
of "vivas" was added that of the spec-
tators in the galleries. For fully teu min-
utes the uproar continued.
vlAJDETvO IN ACCEPTANCE.
At 9 o'clock tonight the committee w hich
had been sent to notify Madero of hU
nomination reported he had accepted and
had agreed to appear before the body at
11 o'cock tomorrow.
The delegates seized upon this as an
excuse for another outburst of applause
which resulted in adjournment following
the adoption of a resolution that the en-
tire body should march immediately to
Madero's home in Colonia Juarez.
Impromptu speeches were then ex-
changed and it was late in the night be-
fore the newly created politicians left for
their hotels.
The announcement of Madero's accept-
ance came at the conclusion of a speech
which brought about the most drastia
moment of the convention. By agreement
the names of the candidates for the vice
presidency had been drawn by lot to ba
discussed In rotation. Vasquez Gomes
was the first name drawn from tha urn.
For and against, a number of delegates
had spoken whea Jesus Urueta began a
speech In opposition. Renowned as ona
of the most brilliant of Mexico"■ orators,
he had little difficulty in swaying au
audience already opposed In tha malar-*
ity to the candidacy in question.
Using sarcasm without stint, ha la!4
bare every weakness of the candidate.
The greater portion of his invective waa
based upon the title "brains of tha Revo-
lution," given Dr. Vasquez during tha
war. Sarcastically he would repeat tha
phrase and then foilow it by instances
calculated to show that the candidate'a
actions were far from those winch would
entitle him to such distinction.
CABREUA DEFENDS GOM1SZ.
Luis Cabrera, a writer of National
fame, ai.i better known as Bias Urrea*
undertook to answer the orator's argn-
n.ontd. Without the aid of elocutionary
tMck.s Cabrera piled fact upon fact t®
show how really valuable Vasquez's serv-
ice.i had been, especially In contributing
money to the cause of the revolution. In
tho midst of his «peech he sprang his sen-
sation. Other speakers had asserted sar-
castically Vasques Gomez had taken a bit
unfair advantage of the delegates by
sending to them misleading telegrams re-
garding his candidacy. Cabrera read a
telegram which he alleged had been In-

Granulated Has Decided Advance on
Eve of Canning Season
Country Over.
# * .
NEW YORK, Ailg. 30.—Grocery circles
here showed concern today over the high
prices now prevailing in the sugar mar-
ket. There was another advauce in granu-
lated during the day to 6.25, representing
a full cent rise in the last few weeks and
the highest level in many years.
Coming at the height of the canning sea-
son, this advance Is of vital interest ta
consumers all over the country. It is at-'
trlbuted primarily to a poor sugar beat
crop in Europe, following prolonged
drouths this summer. To make matter*
wor«e. the Cuban crop, which fornlahae
the bulk of raw material for Americas
refiners, also proved short and pricea be*
gan to soar
