COTTON
NEW YORK, July 16.- Realizing caused
more or less irregularity in the cotton mar- •
ket during today's early trading, but Eng
lish trade advices were more encouraging,
further showers beinar reported in the south
and the continued strength of July s tended
to hold sellers in check. The market steady
at a decline of 40 points on August and off
13 points on July, while later months were
4 points lower to 12 higher. Liverpool and
the south sold new crop positions which
worked about 5 to 6 pointe net lower right
after the call, with October selling at 34.15.
A couple of July notices were reported, but
after selling at 41.60 on the call, that
month soon advanced to 41.85, making a
new high record, while later months rallied
also with October selling at 34.30, or 10
points net higher.
The weather map showing showery con
ditions in the sour hfurned the market firm- ]
er during the middle of the morning and i
the advance was promoted by the continued
strength of July. That delivery sold up ,
to 42.05, or 32 points net higher, while *
October advanced to 34.54 with the gen- j
-eral list showing net advances of about
30 to 34 points. More favorable trade re- ,
ports from Blanchester helped the advance ,
and reactions of a few points were follow- j
ed by a very steady market during the early
afternoon. ;
The advance carried October up to 84.58 c <
and December 32.87 c, with active new crop
U months selling 48 to 63 points net higher. ,
This level attracted more realizing and the .
midafternoon market showed reactions of '
20 to 23 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NB WORLEANS, July 16.—Continued (
cloudy and showery weather over a good
part of the belt, coupled with better ca
bles than due, put the price of cotton high
er today, the trading months gaining 34 to
28 points in the first hour of business, Oc
tober rose to 33.88. Some of the demand
was stimulated by a cablegram from Liv
erpool that the Manchester market had a ;
' better tone and was showing signs of more
business. „ ’
Reports that New England mills were re
suming full time, a much more favorable ,
opinion of the October position and pre- (
dictions that it would shortly take the
place of July and lead at the advance (
caused more activity and a stronger de
mand. Late in the morning October stood
at 34.06 and the trading months were 56
to 63 points higher than the final prices of s
jesterday. highegt of the day the tiding -
months were 56 to 68 points up. Profit tak
ing caused reactions of 20 to 30 points from
the top, but in the last few minutes of the
session there was a strong recovery to the
highest levels on the late months and to
within 15 points of the highest of the year. ,
January traded to 81.80 c.

GRAIN |
CHICAGO, July 16.—Extraordinary weak
ness developed in the wheat market today
and prices made a steep descent. Opeing
prices, which ranged from the same as yes
terday’s finish to 9% cents lower, with De
cember 2.60% to 2.68, were fololwed by a
further decline and then a reaction to 2.62.
In the corn pit, there was active selling
on the part of the same commission houses
that were conspicuous on the bear side yes- ;
terday. After opening 1% down to 1% ad
vane the whole market declined sharply ;
but later recovered most of the loss.
Oats weakened with other grain.
Provisions were steady to firm.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: There was less
black rust talk owing to cool weather. Be
lieve in the buying side of corn.
Lawson Bros.: Wheat trading attracted a
volume of hedging business. Liquidation in
corn does not teem to have run its course.
Bennett & Co.: Country offerings are far
from heavy, and producers have very firm
ideas as to prices. Comparison with wheat
is not bearish on oats.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
S. M. Weld. & Co.: We continue to suggest
purchases on all easy spots.
Bache & Co.: We believe in eventually
very much higher prices.
liirsch, Lllienthal & Co.: We think the
market has defintely turned and would buy
on good rececsions.
Munds-Rogers: We continue to favor pur
chases on reactions.

SHEPARD AND GLUCK COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, July 16.—Better reports
from textile centers on both sides of the
water and messages from New England to
the effect that mills were resuming fall
time, too much rain in the belt and in
creased fear of boll weevil damage com
bined to put the cotton market strongly
higher today. July in New York took on
a new spurt. Rumors were circulated that
the bulls would turn their attention to Oc
tober after they have finished with July.
The forecast calls for clouy weather in the
Western belt and showery weather in the
Eastern, a state of affairs that points to
further advances, although reactions must
now be expected as the result of longs
realizing.

Grain Gossip
Thomson, McKinnon & Co. say: Poor buy
ing power shows in the cash markets as
well as futures. Cash corn closed 3c to 3%c
and oats 3c ’to 4c lower last night. Thls
condition proves that the best market for
daily receipts is in the pit. In other words,
the cash grain is a load on the market.
Rallies will recur, but probably be only tem
porary.
Provision stocks in Chicago July 15; Pork
new, 21,819 barrels; lard, 92,183,000 pounds;
old, 2,000; short ribs, 14,968,000 pounds; ex
tra clears, 4,466,000 pounds.
Chicago Tribune says: It was noticeable
the largest cash houses bought July corn and
oats on the break. There was heavy selling
of July oats toward the close by Wagner,
and brokers were absorbing December; re
sulted in narrowing the spreads between the
near-by and distant delivery.
Think December corn a sale every bulge.
Never had any business to sell at 150 as
far as I can see. When it bulges any time
sell it.—Denning.
Cash people in country wirs ns is less
disposition by holders to sell cash corn now
and no response by farmers to fairly good
bids made last night. Larger shorts have
taken surplus corn out of the market. It is
showing better rallying power.—Babcock.
Watermelon Syrup Is
Latest Georgia Product
WAYCROSS, July 18. Georgia
cane syrup is a product which is
known from ocean to ocean and when
its name is mentioned the state of
Georgia immediately comes to mind.
Another syrup which’ promises to
make Georgia famous, according to
farmers in this section, is watermelon
syrup. This syrup is made from the
juice of the watermelon in practi
cally the same manner that cane
syrup is made from sugar cane
juice. Several farmers in this sec
tion have experimented with “melon”
syrup for several years and they say
that “it can’t be beat.”
Lover Shot Woman
Who Spurned Him
PLAINFIELD, N. J. —Mrs. Chris
tine Murphy, aged 30, x of Dewey
Park, Dunellen, while on her way to
work recently, was met by George
Schneiderwind, aged 22, who is said
to have been madly in love with
her, and, following some words, he
drew a revolver and shot her twice,
both bullets entering the neck. The
woman is in a serious condition.
Schneiderwind surrendered to the
police.
I Mrs. Murphy, who is the wife of
: Charles Murphy, of Newark, recently
j started a suit for divorce, on grounds
of desertion. It is said she spurned
the attentions of Schneiderwind, and
, this angered him.
j New Death House Woe
• There are twenty-three prisoners ■
! filling the Sing Sing death house.
One of them' snores and the others
have trouble in getting to sleep.
The man who snores is Sam Micha
lok. He was known as “Sam the
Landlord” in ew York. He was con
victed of the murder of a woman in
Yonkers, done by men whom he sent:
to rob her.
He goes to sleep first every night i
and the other men in the death house |
sometimes have to' wake him up !n i
order to get to sleep themselves. So
they have asked the warden to put
Sam in the old death house as soon
as another man Is condemned to die.

■ : con was used by Representative An-
■ : derson of Jenkins, one of the steering
! committee for capital removal. He
- ■ said Atlanta ought not to object to

date she began living, as his wife,
with Clarence Bradstreet, who was
then a sergeant in the army and re
sided at 247 St. Charles avenue, At
lanta. Subsequent to her divorce
from her legal husband, to wit, on
August 25, 1919, she was married to
Clarence Bradstreet.
“It appears therefore that Agnes
Tate, alias Agnes Tate Shoemaker,
received twelve allotments and al

Agnes Tate Shoemaker as the wife of
W. B. Shoemaker and that she con
verted them to her own use.
“Shoemaker was discharged from
the service on May 20, 1919.”
The evidence told of a visit of an
examiner from the war risk bureau
to Mrs. Bradstreet while she was in
the Fulton county jail on October
23, 1919.
Although the evidence submitted
claimed Mrs. Bradstreet received
checks the first six months of 1919.
she denied cashing any in March,
1919, and thereafter. Mrs. Brad- j
street told Commissioner Carter that
Shoemaker made the allotment to her
against her wishes.
“Just before he left for France,”
she said, “I saw him at the hostess
house at Camp Gordon and had lunch
eon with him. Although I was not I
married te him he told me, ‘You are i
my wife,’ and wanted me to accept |
the allotment checks. When they ;
came I used them to buy furniture
and other things for his mother, who
was living at Freeport, 111. I have
no friends,” she continued, weeping,
“Shoemaker has done his best to do
me dirt.”
When asked why she did not see
the department of justice operators
who tried to call on her Thursday
morning, she declared she had been
sick and that her doctor had sought
to protect her against any further
excitement.
After signing the bond, Mrs. Brad
street called for some water and tak
ing some medicine from her hand
bag drank it and then left with her
father. Her bond was assessed at
only SSOO because Mr. Carpenter took
the position that this was sufficient
in view of the fact that she was al
ready under a $2,000 state bond.
The penalty for a conviction on
the offense charged against Mrs.
Bradstreet is a fine of not more than
$3,000, a prison sentence of not more
than one year, or both, in the discre
tion of the court.
“TALKED INTO MARRYING,”
SAYS MRS. BRADSTREET
“I was talked into marrying Shoe
maker just like I was talked into
marrying Tate,” Mrs. Katherine
Queen Bradstreet told a reporter for
The Journal last autumn, nearly ten
months before her arrest Thursday
on charges of defrauding the United
States government and 'William B.
Shoemaker, formerly a Camp Gor
don sergeant, out of allotments and
allowances aggregating $460.
At the time Mrs. Bradstreet made
this assertion she was a prisoner
in the Fulton county tower. It was
shortly after she .and William B
Green were arrested on the charge
of embezzling the Fairburn Banking
company, and her story of the Shoe
maker marriage, with other details
of her history, was the first public
statement she made.
“Mr. Shoemaker was a fine man,”
she told the reporter, “only I just
didn’t love him. Just yesterday I
got a letter from him, saying if there
was anything in the world he and
his mother could do for me, they
wanted to do it.”
This statement differs markedly
from her declaration after her arrest
Thursday, that Mr. Shoemaker had
“done her dirt.”
Mrs. BradstreeUSz story of the
Shoemaker marriage, as taken from
the files of The Journal last year,
begins with the removal of the
Queen family from Cobb county,
where Mrs. Bradstreet was born, to
south Georgia, where Mr. Queen
owned a farm near Albany and where
“Kitty,” the daughter of. the family,
met her next-door neighbor, J. B
Tate.
Quoting from the Interview last
fall:
“.Tate told me,” said Mrs. Brad
street, “that he was twenty-five
years old, but I learned later, when
the first draft came along, that he
was all of thirty-nine of forty. And |
he was gray even when I first met
him. He came over to the house ev
ery day. He came early in the morn
ing and he’d stick around all the
time, talking and talking to me even
when I was doing housework.
Agrees to Divorce
“Well, he talked me into marry
ing him. That’s exactly what he
did. I married him to keep him
from always begging me to marry
him. I was young and I didn’t know
much, and he was old and he knew
how to talk. . . . He came every day,
and two or three times I went to
the postoffice with him, but always
my little brother was along. Then '
one day I slipped off with him alone. ■
And when I came back I was mar- i
ried.
“We went buggy riding behind aj
mule, and he stopped at the preach-1
er’s. I didn’t want to marry him j
even then. I wouldn’t get out. The ■
preacher had to come out to the!
j buggy and marry us with me sitting'
there, and me telling him all the j
time I didn’t want to. The minute |
it was over, I said, ‘What have I.
done?, —I’ve ruined my life!’ And it’s i
a fact, I’d have been a lot happier'
if I’d married the mule.”
According to Mrs. Bradstreet’s!
story, she lived-with Tate only a few.
months before coming to Atlanta be
| cause she was unhappy. Here she.
visited relatives, she said, and con- !
tinued:
“Mister Tate Wrote to me and i
begged me to come back, but I ’
wouldn’t and finally we agreed to be !
divorced. I told him to go ahead j
and fix it up and he did; he started!
divorce proceedings. I didn’t under- i
stand much about it. I got some |
divorce papers from a lawyer and 11
I thought I was divorced all ‘the way.’’
| Mrs. Bradstreet said she met
; Shoemaker in March, 1918, while he
I was a sergeant at Camp Gordon with
; the Eighty-second division. Her ac-
I count of the affair, as it appeared in
The Journal, was as follows:
‘ No, I didn’t love him, either, but
he was like Mr. Tate in one way—
he kept begging and begging nut. to
marry him. I told him, ‘No, I don't
love you,’ but he would keep asking
me. He said he was going to France
most any day and he wanted to get
t married before he left, and so one
day—we were at the Hostess house
at Camp Gordon, I remember—l told
him I would. I don’t know why, but
he just kept asking me and I thought
all the time that my divorce had
been granted. We were married in

2A. The bureau of standards
says that the piston does stop. In
a theoretically perfect engine this
stop would be infinitesimally small.
In an actual engine it is longer
since time is required in taking up
the slack in the bearing.
3Q. Is there a bird known as
the Solitarie?
3—A. The Solitaire was a dodo
like bird, now extinct, that was pe
culiar to the island of Rodreguez, in
the Indian ocean. In America the
name is given to certain Uy-catching
thrushes found in Jamaica and
other West Indian islands. One
species is found in the western Uni
ted States. It is about eight inches
long, of ashen color and is a superb
singer. The name “Solitaire” is de
rived from its habit of hiding in
solitary depths of the forest.
Atlanta by Mr. Thornbury, a preach
er, and a few days later Mr. Shoe
maker went to France. I never lived
with him as his wife. . . .
“Yes, I visited Mr. Shoemaker’s
people in Freeport, Hl. I went up
there last spring, just before he came
home from the army, and stayed
with his who was ill. I told
him that I was married to Mr. Brad
street and that my marriage to him
wasn’t legal. He wouldn’t believe it
at first. He thought I was telling
him a story, and he sent a lawyer
down to Atlanta and he started to
sue Mr. Bradstreet for alienation.
But his lawyer found out I was tell
ing the truth, and so he wrote me it
was alt right.
Meets Bradstreet
“I met Mr. Bradstreet right after
he came to Camp Gordon in the first
draft, in August, 1917. He was the
first and only man I ever loved. It
was like heaven after all I’d been
through, because right then I
thought I was single and Mr. Brad
street asked me to marry him. Then
he went home on a furlough to see
his mother, and while he was away I
did such a foolish thing and married
Shoemaker, when I was engaged to
Mr. Bradstreet all the time.
“When Mr. Bradstreel came back,
I hid my wedding ring atod wouldn’t
tell him about it. But one day he '
met me accidentally downtown when I
I had it on and he saw it and I told
him. He got mad and went off, but
we made up a few days later. At
that time I thought I had been di
vorced and my marriage to Shoe
maker was legal and I was very mis
erable. .Shoemaker had seen tn 2 aj
vorce papers and he told me I j
married. It was only a short ,ime
after that when I learned the divpree |
wasn’t granted until after I married :
Mr Shoemaker. I sure was glad be- i
cause that made me not married to |
Mr. Shoemaker, you see. and lett ,t

4-—Q. Is it true that school
teachers in New England were ever
required to dig graves?
4 A. According to an old record
the duties of a Ne wEngland mas
ter of 1661 were as follows: “To
act as court messenger, to serve
summonses, to conduct certain
ceremonial services of the church,
to lead the Sunday choir, to ring
the bell for public worship, to dig
graves, to perform other occasional
duties.”
SQ. Is there a hot metal in
which a person can insert his hand
without burning it?
5—A. If a person puts a finger
or hand into metal heated to an ex
tremely high temperature and with
draws it quickly enough, the mois
ture of the skin forms a coating
and prevents burning. This is the
same principle as when one wets
a finger to test a hot iron.

Hen Gulps Rubber Stamp;
Lays Eggs That Are Dated
GRANGELY. lowa.—J. T. Framing
ham, a farmer living near here, has
had a hen of mystery on his farm.
Things began several months ago
when he found an egg with a date
stamped on it in purple ink. The in-:
scription was “Dec. 14, 1912." Fram
ingham couldn’t understand it. It
was obvious that the egg had been
freshly TrrtffT Why the stamp with
the ancient date?
“I thought at first,” said Framing
ham, “that some one may have stamp
ed the egg as a joke. I knew that
we never stamped any of our eggs.
But the same thing kept turning up.
One egg each day had the same
date stamped on it. We were at
our wits’ end, then one day I hap
pened to kill a chicken for dinner.
While dressing it my wife found in it
a rubber stamp that has been dat
ing the eggs. The chicken had evi
dently swallowed it some time be
fore.”
