DATE WILL BE NOVEMBER NINTH Additional Four Weeks to Be Devoted to Cuban Treaty, with Ample Scope for Tariff Discussion Rural Free Delivery Matters. WASHINGTON It now seems to be certain that President Roosevelt will call congress in extraordinary ses sion November 9. The extra session will be called for action upon the Cu ban treaty. The president has in formed congressional visitors recently of his intention to call congress to gether in extra session on the date mentioned. This will give congress nearly a month to work in before the date for the regular session. The first Monday, in December, fixed by lav for the regular session to begin, falls on December 7 this year. By beginning on November 9 there will be plenty of time to dispose of the Cuban tariff matter. The program of the republican leaders in congress will be, unless there is a change in their present intentions, to permit the democrats all the opportunity they de sire during the extra session to dis cuss questions of tariff and reciproc ity and kindred subjects. After the regular session begins little opportu nity will be allowed and- republican leaders and committees will work to gether to prevent tariff taking up any time or hold any place of importance in legislative business. What the pol icy and attitude of tne party will be on tariff in the presidential election will depend on future developments. Rural Delivery. A great deal of wild talk has been indulged in during the past few weeks as to the probability of congress aban doning the whole rural free delivery service as a result of the postofnee scandals. That such talk is absurd is easy to understand when it is re membered that every member of the house whose district is not confined to a large city i3 directly interested in the maintenance and growth of the rural free delivery service. It may be true that routes have been establish ed in districts which were not entitled to them when the population and pos tal business were consiGered, but on the other hand, all members repre senting rural populations have been tarrred with the same stick. Politi cal lines have never been drawn in the establishment of rural routes, and during the past two years when con gress was in session runy 10 per cent of the absentees could have been dis covered In the headquarters of the rural free delivery service urging upon the superintendent the necessity of consideration of routes in which each Individual was directly interest ed.

CALLS KANSAS LEGISLATURE Governor of State Directs It to As semble on June 24. TOPEKA, Kan. Governor Bailey has issued the following proclamation calling together the legislature in spe cial session: "Whereas, The recent floods have, in addition to the destruction of vast amounts of property, swept away nu merous bridges, the immediate re building of which is imperative, but for which no adequate law exists, thereby bringing about an extraordi nary occasion within the meaning of the constitution authorizing a special session of the legislature.

Herrick, whose name also has been mentioned in con nection with the vice presidency, said that his sole political ambition was to be elected governor of Ohio.

THIS APPLIES TO THE WEST By the Lakes and in the East the Out look is Not So Encouraging Need of Moisture Reported in Some Lo calities. WASHINGTON The weather, bu reau's weekly summary of crop con ditions is ?-s follows: While still too cool in the districts east of the Rocky mountains, the tem perature conditions of the week end ing June 22 were somewhat more fa vorable in the central valleys and southern states, but over portions of the lake region and middle Atlantic states and in New England it was colder than in the preceding week. Heavy rains in the two last named districts interrupted farm work, but In the Ohio and upper Mississippi val leys and gulf states the conditions were very favorable for cultivation. Rain is now needed in the Dakotas, northern Minnesota and in portions of the central and east gulf states. The conditions on the Pacific- coast were generally favorable, but in the coast sections of Oregon work was de layed by rain, while rains are needed in the eastern portions of both Oregon and Washington. A general improvement in the con dition of corn in the central valleys is Indicated, especially over the western portions. In the lake regions, New England and middle Atlantic states little or no improvement in this crop is noted. In all northern and central districts corn continues very late, but is in a good state of cultivation, ex cept in the middle Atlantic states. In the southern states early corn is largely laid by and is nearing matur ity in Texas. Winter wheat harvest has made fa vorable progress and is now general In the central portions of the winter wheat belt, with disappointing yields, especially in the southern portions of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. In the middle Atlantic states a general im provement is indicated. Harvest is general in California, with nearly av erage yields in most sections. In Oregon and Washington some im provement is noted, but the crop is In need of rain in the eastern portion of these states. Spring wheat is suffering for rain In North Dakota and portions of South Dakota and is affected by rust quite generally in Nebraska. In these two last named states, however, the crop, as a rule, is doing well, and in Minne sota, Wisconsin and Iowa continues In promising condition. In Washing ton the crop has improved, where moisture has been sufficient, but will be materially shortened in central counties and also in eastern Oregon unless rain comes soon. The outlook for oats is less promis ing in the Dakotas, Nebraska, noZ ern Minnesota, Missouri and southern Illinois. In Wisconsin, Kansas, on up lands in Iowa and in northern Illinois a good crop Is promised. PAINTING OF MAIL BOXES NEXT. Grand Jury Put on Scent of a "Job" in Connection with That. WASHINGTON, D.

C The presi dent has ordered a thorough investi gation of the affairs of the Kiowa and Comanche Indian reservation in Okla homa, and has appointed Francis E.

POSTAL EMPLOYES BENEFITTED The Selling Company Headed by the Frisco Postmaster and Supported by Ex-Congressman Loud A Divy M;ide Among Them. WASHINGTON. D. C The Post on Tuesday wjll sav (hat among the mat ters Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Uristow is Investigating is the purchase from a California company, the Postal Device and Improvement company, of some 17,000 letter de vices for indicating the hours of col lection of mail. The invention is that of the postmaster of San Francisco, it is said. It is also said that 7,000 of these devices originally were ordered at a cost of $4 of more eac h, or a profit of luO per cent of cost, and the allega tion is made that a further order for 10,000 was placed, notwithstanding the original 7,000 devices were not used, but were reposing in a store house. The company controlling the device was largely made up of Cali foruia postal employes, and the Post will say that it is informed that ex Representative Loud of California, formerly chairman of the, house com mittee on postal affairs, took an ac tive part in their behalf and wrote several letters urging the device on the department, and in one of them said it would be an accommodation to him If the matter was attended to. After the company had had difllcul ty in securing its money for the de vice, Mr. Loud, the Post will say, ap- peared at the department in its be- half, but specifically disclaimed any interest in the company other than it was composed of his constituents. He took the ground that whatever the necessity or lack of necessity for the device, constituents of his had secured the contract and furnished the articles called for. Therefore he believed they should be paid as the government had stipulated to pay them. During his recent visit to the city Mr. Ix)ud, on certain of his visits to the department, took up some of these unpaid bills, making it plain, how ever, that he appeared only in behalf of constituents and not as one finan cially interested in the company. The allegation was made, the Post will say, that $45,000 of the deficien cy of the $105,000 in the free delivery service with which Mr. Machen is charged, is due to the purchase of the device in question, but at the post- office department this was denied and the statement made that tho matter was under investigation. Complaints also have been made, it was stated. that at the instance of Mr. Loud the rolls at the Presidio had been padded with postal employes, but at the post office department they were without any knowledge of such a thing one way or the other. CABLE IS READY FOR ALASKA First Long Submarine Wire Ever Manufactured in America.

His feet and limbs were swollen to that he could not walk nor put on Lis shoes. 'Wnen the doctors told me he would surely die, I stopped giving him their medicine and began giving nim Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him three pills a day and at the end oC ejgnt jays the swelling was all gone. but as I wanted to bo sure, I kept on with the pills for some time, gradu-; ally reducing the quantity, till finally I stopped altogether. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved my child's life. Before using thera he was a helpless invalid in his mother's- arms from morning till night.
