Vienna, July 3.—The wife of Prince William, ruler of Albania, left with her children this morning for Bucharest. It is believed that this indicates that the prince means to abdicate. (By Associated Press.) Vienna, July 3—Emperor Francis Joseph was cheered today by the pop- ulace as he left the palace through the streets. He visited Holburg, where the bodies of Arch Duke Fran- cis Ferdinand and his wife lay. PINEBLUFF, ARK., BANK FAILED TO OPEN (By Associated Press.) Pinebluff, Ark., July 3.—The bank of Pinebluff failed to open to- day. The State bank examiners are in charge. The inability to realize on securities was given as the reason NI'L BANKS CALLED ON FOR STATEMENT (By Associateq Press.) Washington, Juiy 3.—The comp- troller of the currency today called for a statement showing the condi- tion of all United States national banks at the close of Dbusiness on June 30. | NATIONAL EDUCATION ASSOCIATION MEET St. Paul, Minn,, July 3.—The an- nual meeting of the National Educa- tion Association will open its ses- siong in this city tomorrow and con- tinue them until the 11th. While ttie subjects to be considered cover a wide range of interests, the two topiecs which will have the most at- tention during the programs will be vocational education and the place of women in education. The teachins of sex education also receive atten- tion during one of the six general sessions into which the convention has been divided. Among those who will address the delegates are Sup- erintendent Edwin G. Cooley, of Chi- cago and Superintendent W. F. Lewis, of Port Huron. (By Associateq Press.)

The money and the people who had homes in Saginaw did not move away when the timber was all used up; but located manufacturing plants here and the town is growing right along. Flint, twenty-five miles Owossa is a town that has booming for the last ten years and has doubled and trebled in that time. 1t has about forty or fifty thousand of been out Ipmm]u and is growing by leaps and | | bounds. The most important enterprise is the Buick car factories wherein eight thousand men" are working during the busy sesson. It is an enormous concern with a mile of buildings and acres of floor space. Machines are used to as great an extent as anywhere and it is impressive to me the perfection that has been at- tained. Every little part is made with a special machine and no effort seems to be spared and the fact that the plant can turn out three hundred cars a day is good evidence of the perfection of the management. The men are for the largest part skilled and high priced workmen, about as our railroad men in Lakelard, only Fline has so many morz of them. Of course the pessimist is around there, too, most to his own annoyance and telling to all who will listen that all eggs in one basket is poor policy. Flint has a great many things besides this and although sim- ilar, and more are coming every year. The automobile business-is in it- self a good thing because the demand is far greater than the supplr. lic only cars on hand at the Buick now are cars made for the European different from those used at home.

London, July 3.—Joseph Cham- berlain, a striking political figure, died here last night. His death was unexpected. He died of paralysis. His condition was not thought any worse than during the last three years. His wife and son were with him at the time of death. Joseph Chamberlain was an Eng- lish statesman, born in London in July, 1836. He was elected to par- liament and on return of liberals to power in 1880 was appointed presi- dent of the board of trade with a seat in the cabinet. To Mr. Chamberlain's exertions was due the passing of the bank- ruptey bill. f Meanwhile his influ- ence was increasing rapidly and he came to be regarded as the leader of the radical party. 1In 1895 he was made colonial minister in the union- ist cabinet, and was instrumental in establishing pleasant relations be- tween the colonists and the mother country. In 1900 he carried the Australian Federation measure in parliament, 1888 he of of first In daughter seeretary Cleveland's within the liheral party. was married to Mary, William (.

Today has been selected be- {caunse the stock market will be idle tomorrow and Sunday, and will not be able to take advantage of the de- {cision until Monday. As the foreign ! however, do not recognize our national holiday, they will get the full brunt of the heavy trading expected when the decision is made {public. The decision will be of great advantage in the end to the rail- markets, roads, but thig advantage will not come from a direct increase in the rates.

This postponement would also in- clude the election for vice president, gsenators and members of the cham- ber of deputies.
