Sept. 6.—A well or ganized scheme for smuggling lace and women's dress materials came to grief yesterday when customs officials ordered the at rest of W. T. Hardy and Burton Baldwin, cabin passengers aboard the steamer Kranprlnz Wil helm. an hour after the arrival of the vessel. The search of Hardy's baggage re sulted in the discovery of several thousands of dollars' worth of lace, which was pinned inside shirts, pa jama suits, sleeves of coats and legs of trousers In the trunks and In the pockets of a huge traveling coat, which Hardy carried on his arm. When customs Inspector Camp bell looked Into the side of the first shirt and saw It was fall of lace, Har dy said coolly: "Never mind taking out the others; they are all alike." Yard after yard of costly lace was ta ken out and piled upon the pier. Only a small quantity of lace was found In Baldwin's trunk, and that, he said, had been put there by Hardy. Incidentally Hardy and bis ship-mate were also overhauled. Wound around the body of Hardy was thirty yards of hand-made lace, valued at about $25 a yard. He accepted the expo sure with smiles. The customs officials think they have uncovered a syndicate of smug- "It Is a safe prediction that the new cotton crop will be 1,000,000 bales lets than last season.” This state ment was made by Mr. M. D. Burn ley. traveling representative of Gilbert A Clay, of New Orleans, on the floor of the Savannah Cotton Exchange yes terday. Mr. Burnley Is on an ex tensive trip through the belt He has not yet completed bis study of conditions in Georgia and Caro lina. "In Texas I found the crop at least million bales short of the last season’s production.” said Mr. Barn- ley. “In the central, west and south western sections of the state, cotton Is still deteriotlng on account of the unprecedentedly hot weather which has prevailed for many weeks. 'In North Texas, where the crop Is better, an early frost would cut down my estimate three or four hundred thousand more bales. Arkansas Worst In Yean. "The crop in Western Arkansas is the worst In years and cannot possi bly be more than two-thirds as large as last year. In the lowlands there Is some fairly good cotton, but in tho hills there is poor fruitage and shedding. A conservative estimate of the shrinkage over last season would be 200,000 bales. “Boll weevil has wrought much havoc In North Louisiana, and this; combined with abandoned acreage and defective stands, will cut off a hund red thousand bales for that section of the state. From Monro to Vicks burg conditions are a little better, but are below those which prevailed at the same period last season. It Is safe to say that the whole (tate will show a loaa of 200,000 bales. "Taken as a whole I therefore reach the conclusion that the territory west of the river will be short of the yield of last season by 1,500,000 bales. Alabama 200,000 Short The crop In Alabama in my opin ion, will fall below that for last sea son by 200,000 bales. The deterioration for the past ten days has been very severe. Hot weather caused unus ually heavy shedding and premature opening. The crop is also about two weeks late. I have not yet complet ed my conclusions as to Georgia and the Carollnas. ’So far as I can see the coming crop will be at least a million bales short of last year's yield, hence I can see no good reason why the crop should not sell on basis of 14 cents or higher for middling. “The spinner has sold ahead for nearly a year at such prices that he can afford to pay JS cento for his cotton and still make a handsome profit The country was scoured for good trades at the close of the season on a bails of 14 and 15 cento. "With the constantly Increasing con sumption of the crop of a million bales less should be In as great de mand. TO REMAIN IN FLORIDA I UMPIRE MILLER IN CHARGE OE CHURCH 1 VALUES CENTRAL.
