Lawson Says Woman Shaped Heinze Downfall and Senate Rise
Boston and New York reports claim Mrs French, a red haired agent, lured Frits A Heinze to his fall in 1907 and helped win a United States Senate seat for a man connected to the copper wars. Thomas W Lawson says the mystery woman and a Waldorf Astoria conference fixed terms with Heinze and influenced state and national affairs. Mrs French says Standard Oil employed the beauty to gather information and force the withdrawal of Heinze and allies. Heinze later marries actress Bernice Golden Henderson in a ceremony planned for August 31 in New York.

Rain production by explosives rejected by weather chief
Willis L. Moore chief of the United States Weather Bureau declares that rainfall cannot be produced by bombs or heavy guns. He cites experiments by the Agricultural Department showing no rain from explosions and notes that rain results from changes in air vapor or temperature. Government action to fire artillery to create rain is opposed as frauds prey on public credulity and could harm the war effort. President Taft approves Gen. Leonard Wood’s refusal to fire 141 guns at Puget Sound to produce rain.

Nine Cardinals Named in Rome Consistory Expect American
Rome reports a November consistory will name nine cardinals and one American. An unnamed Catholic authority says another American cardinal is unlikely during Cardinal Gibbons’s lifetime. The apostolic delegate Diomede Falconio is favored to receive the honor if an American appointment occurs. Names often linked include Archbishops O Connell Farley and Ryan, with Archbishop Treland considered likelier for a Western seat. The first American cardinal was Archbishop McCloskey of New York.
