fact that many Mexican laborers do
nearly all their shopping on Sunday, It
being their only ree day, a nutnber
of dry goods stores remained open all
day and a number of others until noon.
In the section around the city hall Sun-
day was the busiest day.
G. W. Booth, president of the local
Retail Clerks' association, took the
matter up with the officers and suc-
ceeded in having all the merchants
served with notices to close. He says
that working seven days a week is too
hard on the clerks. He thinks that they
ought to have Sunday off.
The notice today was served by a
deputy constable and all of the mer-
chants closed. They will get together
cometime during the week and discuss
whether the closing shall remain or
whether they will test the Sunday
law.

It was argued tonight that it was
possible to bring a special rule In the
house declaring "in order” rates on
leather goods below the duties fixed by
the house bill. Without such a rule it
was said the speaker would bp com-
pelled to decide that the conferees had
exceeded their authority if they should
bring in a report naming rates on
leather goods, such as boots and 'shoes,
sole leather calf skins and harness,
lower than those fixed by the house bill.
After the adjournment of the con-
ference tonight the house members met
in session and it was decided that a
canvass should be made tomorrow to
ascertain the sentiment in the house
to a rule of that character. While the
house conferees were in session, an-
other fonference, attended by Senators
Warren, Clark of Montana, Sutherland,
Borah and Dick, was being held.

to make Alabama cotton men more op-

sunshiny weather interspersed by two
days of showers has brought, an im-

the crop which was worked soon after
the wet weather. By great effort, the
farmers succeeded in reclaiming thou-
sands of acres which they had aban-
doned early in the present season.
However, the plant is now showing
signs of exhaustion which will require
much moisture this week to overcome.
Experts declare that the crop is in
good condition.

An immense wave struck the ves-
