Cotton Condition Shows Loss
of 9,7 Points; Only Once Has
Decline Been Exceeded
NEW 7 YORK, Aug. 29.--Journal of Commerce:
Reports from 1,939 special correspondents bear
ing an average date of August 22, show n
condition of 71.4 per cent as compared with
81.1 per cent a month ago, or a loss of 9.7
points. Only once in the past ten years has
this decline in August been exceeded, namely
the year 1911, when it was 14.3 points, and the
ten-year average Joss is about 5.9 points. Con
dition a year ago was 75.4 per cent, while in
1911, the banner year, it was 72.6 per cent,
and 70.7 per cent in 1910.
The ton-year average is 73.5 per cent. It
remains to be seen how far a loss oi 9.7 points
in condition will be offset by ah Increase of
856,000 acres over last year, or about 2%
per cent.

GOVERNMENT FIGURE
TOSSERS TO COMBINE
IWAdoo Urges That Auditing
Staffs Be Placed Under One
Roof
- (By Associated Press.)
W ASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—Probably
the greatest aggregation of arithmetical
and mathematical geniuses ever gather
ed under one roof will be assembled
by Secretary McAdoo, who is urg
ing upon congress a plan to combine in
one building the auditing staffs of the
several executive departments. He will
utilize the big structure about to be
vacated by the bureau of engraving and
printing and while the cost of remodel
ing would approximate $73,000, he de
clares the government would save about
$35,000 a year in rent now paid for the
use of quarters in business blocks.
Auditors for the interior and navy
departments now share one building,
while those for the state and other
departments occupy another. The cleri
cal forces are divided and a loss in ef
ficiency is the result, according to Mr.
McAdoo, Furthermore, the secretary
of the treasury is looking forward to a
decided increase in the treasury audit
ing force on the passage of the new tar
iff law with its income tax feature.
The jugglers of figures and delvers
into statistics, the secretary is urging
on congress, will be much better off if
given quarters of their own. He is ask
ing that $40,000 be appropriated with
which to begin the alterations in the
building.

HELD FOR MURDER OF
His AND NIECE
William Cook, Accused of
Clubbing Women to Death,
Taken to Nashville
(By Associated Press.)
NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Aug. 30.—The
preliminary heating of Willkam Cook,
the Rutherford county farmer, arrest
ed yesterday on the charge of murder
ing his wife. Mrs. Maggie Cook, and her
niece, Lucy Stanford, Monday night near
Smyrna, will take place at Murfrees
boro Wednesday. In the meantime Cook
remains in jail here, Rutherford county
officers being fearful of mob violence.
The people there have been deeply
aroused by the brutality of the slayer
of the two women, who were clubbed
to death.
While no motive has yet been defi
nitely fixed, the officers think now the
murders followed a better family quar
rel.
Cook was reared in the vicinity of
Smyrna, but has lived in Nashville,
working for the street railway and later
runnings a saloon. He went to St.
Louis during the street railway strike,
remaining there a year, going thence
to Chicago and working on the street
railway. He was there nine years. The
Cooks bad been married four years.
Cook was arrested yesterday after
noon at Smyrna. Tenn., aon a warrant
sworn out by Sheriff Rhodes, of Ruth
erford count)’. The crime was commit
ted last Monday night at the Cook home,
three miles from Smyrna. Cook, for
fear of mob violence, was hurried to
Nashville, and lodged in the Davidson
county jail for safe keeping.
The arrest followed four days of vig
ilant search by Sheriff Rhodes and his
deputies and other officers, as well as
residents of the* neighborhood for the
weapon which the deed was committed.
This afternon shortly after 2 o’clock a
hickory bludgeon, smeared with blood,
was discovered in the Cook stable and
the arrest followed immediately. Cook
protested his innocence and at first de
manded a preliminary hearing before
the coroner’s jury, which was in ses
sion.
However, at the earnest request of
Attorney General W. S. Faulkner, who
was present and who feared ntob vio
lence, he waived examination and was
hurried away in a taxicab, which had
been held in waiting.
Shortly afterwards the coroner’s jury
brought in a verdict in which they found
that the two women had come to their
death from the effects of blows ad
ministered by a heavy blunt instrument
under circumstances pointing to the
guilt of William F. Cook.
The crime was one of the bloodiest
in the history of the state. The room
in which the dead women were discov
ered was stained with blood and bore
evidences of a desperate struggle. Cook
reported the tragedy at 6 o’clock Mon
day morning, and claimed that he had
attended church the night before and on
awakening found his wife dead in the
room adjoining the one in which he had
slept, while her niece was dead on the
porch, just outside the door.

WELCOME TO CARRIERS
Many Important Questions Will
Be Considered at National
Association Meeting
(By Associated Press.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.—Hun
dreds of delegates are arriving here for
the conventions of the National Associa
tion of Letter Carriers and the National
Women’s Auxiliary to the Letter Sar-
riers. The two conventions open to
morrow and will continue until Septem
ber 5. It is expected that 1,100 dele
gates will be in attendance at the men's
convention and 300 at that of the
women.
One of the important questions to
be considered will be the measure pro
viding for the retirement of aged post
men, now before the house committee
one judiciary. The Riley liability bill,
which provides for compulsory compen
sation for injured government employes
and which is now before congress, also
will be discussed.
AUSTELL CITIZENS
IN BOND ELECTION
(Special Dispa'tch to The Journal.)
AUSTELL, Ga., Aug. 30.—A bond elec
tion was held here August 27 for the
following purposes: $12,000 for water
works, $8,000 for sewers, $5,000 for
street improvements. Every issue was
carried by a large majority, there be
ing only two votes against water bonds,
four against street improvements and
six against sewers.
The mayor and council some time ago
signed a contract, with the J. B. McCrary
company, of Atlanta, for the installa
tion of electric lights. According to
contract the lights will be in operation
November 1, this year.
The electric power is being developed
from Sweetwater creek, near the old fac
tory shoals. The citizens of Austell are
well pleased with the outcome of the
election and it is believed the little city
will now come to the front.
I T is astonishing how few
people realize how much in
jury and loss comes from
lice and mites on their fowls, and
hundreds of people who have
been accustom to dusting their
fowls still continue to do so.
While this was one of the proper
things when it was discovered
and the best way known at that
time to get rid of live Insects on
fowls it is only temporary, and
in a week or ten days during hot
weather has to be repeated as the
nits on fowls hatch very rapidly
and a short time after the fowls
have been dusted they will be
covered again. It seems natural
for fowls to be plagued with In
sects and you have to watch and
fight them continually, and the
only method I have found to
thoroughly cleanse them and
have It permanent for several
months at least Is by dipping
the fowls in a solution of either
of the standard dips that are ad
vertised in The Jorunal. There
is but little difference In any of
these dips so far as their doing
the actual work. When mixed
one part dip to five parts water
It makes a dip solution and one
that will not only kill the insects
but the eggs that are deposited
on the feathers. It is so easily done
that anyone with the assistance
of one helper can easily dip five
hundred birds in .a day. And it
the roosts are thoroughly paint
ed the same day or soon after you
will have your house and fowls
thoroughly cleansed and in a con
dition to lay eggs, or to convert
a small amount of food into egg
production and fiesh when otherwise if they were infested with insects
the food could not be near so well utilized as if they were cleaned.
During the past few years this method has been largely practiced
and is undoubtedly saving thousands of dollars for the poultry breed
ers ail over the country, and those who have learned to dip their hogs
and cattle in a similar manner are also getting results from their work.
These same dips that are used to rid chickens of insects will also rid
c»ttle of ticks and hogs of lice, and the loss to the south from these
terrible parasites runs into millions of dollars. A dipping vat for cattle
and hogs is absolutely essential on every farm, and the people through
out the entire south are fast learning this.
By thoroughly dipping your chickens in April, again in July or
Angus!!, and again in the early fall, you can keep them rid of all kinds
of insects and get results from them as you could not get otherwise.
Young chickens after they are feathered can stand to be dipped, but the
solution should not be so strong as for old chickens. Any chicken that
you desire to use for table purposes should not be dipped. The disin
fectant will remain on the feathers and skin for four to six weeks after
being dipped and the flesh will taste of the dips that are used. There
fore, any chicken that you wish to use for eating purposes should be
separated and not treated. Lice'as a rule stay on a chicken's body and
live there. They do not inhabit the roosts and house like mites do, but
to be sure that you make a good job when you are at it the roosts and
nests should all be thoroughly painted with either of these same prep
arations that are used for this purpose. If such can not be had cheaply
on conveniently a preparation of one pound of moth balls, five gallons
of kerosene oil and one gallon of crude carbolic acid makes a splendid
spray or paint to use on the roosts and nests, and no insect will stay
where this is used.
A great many people will wonder why their chickens will not lay,
and the young ones do not thrive and grow as they should; and in most
cases you can trace the trouble to insects. They are the direct cause
of a big loss to all poultry breeders and it takes eternal work and dili
gence to keep these pests off your chickens so as to get best results
from your fowls. Quite a number of dips and preparations are now
being manufactured all over the entire south, and it has been a °reat
help to the poultry breeders to have these preparations where they can
be had conveniently as the saving by their use runs into thousands of
dollars each year. If you have not looked after your chickens hogs
and cattle and thoroughly cleansed them of all Insects it should be done
at once as it means many dollars to,
you.

BENOA, Aug. 30.—Porter Chariton,
under escort of Lieutenant Franchini
and Carabineer Rizze, of the tlalian
military police, was brought ashore
here today from the steamship Re
d’ltalia. After a few hours in prison
he was hurried to Como, where he is
to stand trial for the murder of his
wife three years ago.
The strictest measures of precaution
were adopted t Q guard Charlton by a
strategem. The newspaper correspond
ents and photographers were prevented
from approaching him. The head of
the police invited the newspaper men
aboard his launch. The invitation was
eagerly accepted in the belief that this
would be a good means to reach the
prisoner. The launch set out for the
Re d’ltalia but suddenly stopped in
midstream. All protests were unavail
ing, even when some of the American
reporters threatened to take up the
matter with the American authorities.
Charlton appeared on the gangway
supported on either side by Franchina
and Rizze. He was handcuffed for
the first time but tried to conceal the
fact by the use of a waterproof folded
over his hands.
Instead of the Mar&sni prison, where
a great crowd had gathered, he was
taken to the barracks of the carabi
neers. The crowd then rushed to the
barracks but the gates were closed and
guarded. After a short interrogation
by the captain of carabineers, Charlton
was put on the 7:45 train for Como.
Franchina and Rizze still acted as his
guard.

House Falls on Man;
He's £o Bruised He'll
Be A-bed Till Monday
FLINT, Mich., Aug. 30.—Alderman
Fred Behrendt had a house fall on him
yesterday. u .
be confined to his home until Monday.
He sustained several bruises.
The alderman’s two-story home, sup
ported on one side by cedar posts, is
located on a hillside. Recent heavy
rains undermined the posts and Thurs
day the house began to slide slightly
downward. Yesterday it moved again,
so Mr. Behrendt decided to anchor it
more securely. Armed with jack-
screws, he crawled under the building,
placed the screws in position and turn
ed one—then it happened.
The house slid forward and Behrendt
was pinned against a pile of debris. He
screamed. His wife rushed out, seized
a shovel and tried to extricate her hus
band. Failing, she called the police
and sounded a general alarm .
It took an hour and a half to dig out
Behrendt. His rescuers said his escape
from instant death was miraculous.
After Behrendt was turned over to a
physician the hquse was pushed back
to where it belonged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Federal
and state judges from every state will
confer tomorrow night at Montreal, Can
ada, at the American Bar association
meeting to formulate plans for a com
plete reform of the rules of pleading
and practice on the law side of the
supreme court of the United States, all
federal district courts, and eventually
make uniform the practice in all courts
in the United States. It is the aim
to eliminate delay and reduce the ex
pense of all litigation.
The method to be discussed will be to
obtain legislation from congress to per
mit the supreme court of the United
States of its own motion to reform its
law rules just as it already has its
equity rules and soon will make uni
form the admiralty and bankruptcy
rules. It also is hoped to obtain legis
lation to give the supreme court super
intendence over the rules of pleading
and practice in all federal and state
courts, as is the methed in England,
and thus gradually make uniform court
procedure in every court in this coun
try.
A memorandum embodying the pro
posed changes, prepared by W. R.
Hughes, of the, department of justice,
i3 to be the basis for the reform pro
posed at the Montreal meeting at
which Attorney General McReynolds will
be present. It is understood that the pro
posed amendments have the indorsement
of the American Bar association.

OPPOSITION RALLIES
AGAINST J, L. BURNETT
Disappointed Postmasters
Combine to Defeat Congres-
sional Candidate
ROME, Ga., Aug. 29.—Grouches held
against Congressman John L. Burnett,
of the Seventh Alabama district, by
disappointed aspirants for postmas
ters’ places In the district will result
In opposition to tile congressman at the
next election. L. B. Rainey, a young
attorney, at present solicitor . of the
Gadsden city court, will make the race
against Mr. Burnett.
The Gadsden papers make no secret
of the fact that the postmasterships
of the district had much to do with
this state of affairs. It is said that
there wer e at least, half a dozen appli
cants for the postmastershtp of every
town in the district, and of course only
one could he appointed.
The disappointed politicians have
rallied in opposition to Mr. Burnett,
who has been in congress for twelve
years and who has rarely had any con
test for the Democratic nomination,
although he has frequently run against
a Republican in the general election.
