Formerly Employed by Wife, it
Well Known in Eait
BAN FRANCISCO. June I. The condition
of C. Frederick Kohl, prominent capitalist
and clubman, who was shot and danger
ously wounded yesterday by Adele Verge,
a French maid formerly in the employ of
Mrs. Kohl, was slightly Improved this
morning. According to his physicians
Kohl rested easily last night and it is
thought he may recover. No effort has
bean made to locate or extract the bullet
lodged In his breast, but an examination
will be made today. Adele Verge spent the
night at the city prison In incoherent
prayers for the recovery of her victim-
Hysterical and unnerved; she would only
say In reply to questions that she did not
know why she shot Kohl and did not want
him to die. She declared she had bought
the pistol many months ago as a protection
against the detectives she says Kohl and
Frank Miller hired to persecute her.
The shooting occurred in the corridor of
the Grant building, in which the superior
courts are housed, and to which Mr. Kohl
had gone as a witness In a I nit recently
brought by Miss Verge against him and
Frank A. Miller, a hotel manager of River
side, for malicious prosecution.
The suit which led to tha tragedy was
an outgrowth of a quarrel fcstwes Miss
Verge and a chauffeur ana ths former's
discharge from Mrs. Kohl's service. Miss
Verge alleged In her complaint that Mr.
Kohl and Mr. Miller had prevented her
from obtaining employ men t
Kohl was well known fas eastern cities
because of his financial cdbnection and
social affiliation. Bis first wlls was Miss
Edith Dun lap of Philadelphia, who waa
married to him In ISM and who died in
New York following an operation for ap
pendicitis In 1910.
PHILADELPHIA. June t.-C Frederick
Kohl, the San Francisco millionaire, who

Today.
Though the memiry did not hit the hlgTi
water mark of Thursday, It hovered
around the century mark all yesterday
afternoon.
At 4 o'clock he little column, which had
been flirting with on the ereater part of
the afternoon, finally touched the spot:
then slowly settled hack until 7. when the
breeses broke the excessive best of the dav.
The heat lost Tin time In rtting In its
work. As early s 10 'twas some hot.
Then by degrees an fidveneement In tem
perature followed grsduslly, the heat being
aa oppressive ss on the dsy be'ore.
T m knt m-lnita wr bIm In evlil ie. If
anything, they were more active than" (hs
dsy before, yet there was an occasional
spell here and there when a coolish sort
of a sephyr worked Its way In and eav
promise of what mt:ht come regularly
some day.
Its Prostrations Reported.
Despite the unusual heat, no prostrations
were reported.
Slightly cooler weather Is promised by
the weather man for today, but It will
have to he more than slight for a change
to be noted.
The highest point was reached yesterday
for a corresponding period ln four years.
Last year 73 was the maximum, while tha
year previous C6 was considered some hot.
Not a trace of precipitation was shown,
Omaha and Des Moines enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the hottest places in ths
wst. Des Moines cltlsens sweltered under
10 temperature. Other western cities were
summer resorts In comparison. Sioux City,
however, got a touch, with 98 aa the call.
On account of the excessive beat, about
fifteen schools throughout, the city closed
st noon, among tbem being Webster, Ma
son, Vinton. Long, Clifton Hill, Fa mam,
Columbia. Kellum. Lake and Locust.
Heat lajarea Craps.
Severs icjury to ths crops by the exces
sive beat and lack of moisture Is feared
by grain men whose correspondents bavs
their eyes en the situation In various parts
of the state. Unices there Is rain as well as
a marked moderation in ths excessive heat
there -will be a big difference in ths con
ditions as compared to ths optimistia gsv
ernment report issued Thursday, traders
declare.
A. H. Bewsber of the Bewsher drain
company, said that in tha western part of
ths state what looked like a M.uvtt.suu yield
from ths wheat fields last week, now would
Indicate more than 47,000.000 with a dan
gerous situation extant unless there are
general rains.
Reports received by Logan A Bryan from!
the winter wheat belt of Nebraska and
northern Kansas are ominous. The sub-:
oil contains no moisture, as the result of
ths minimum rain fall of early spring, and
the torrldity is rapidly drying out what
little moisture there was ln the ground.
Scattering rains have been reported in
various sections, but not enough to make
a material difference, and they were light
and only local.
The hot winds of Thursday and Friday
caused a strong bullish sentiment in the
corn market. Statisticians are busy with
the story of a crop failure on the schedule
of every twelve years.
While It generally was conceded that ths
corn Is not high enough to have suffered
material damage yet, a strong sentiment
prevails that a continuation of the torrid
spell for three or four more days would
result in quite a different situation ln ths
Nebraska fields. '
J. A. Cavers of the Cavers company was
inclined to view the fears of crop damage
optimistically. He said that so far ths
weather had not been proU acted enough
to cause a loss n the fields of ths east
ern and central parts of tbs state.
