NEW YORK. July 23. —Prospects for clear
ing weather in the belt and the report of
a southern crop reporting ageiicy giving
condition at 76.5 and indicating a crop or
15,000.000 bales, furnished the basis for a
renewal of selling in the cotton market this
morning under which prices sustained further
declines. Opening irregular at 25 points de
cline to 76 points advance, the market
dropped still further, reaching 33.05 for
October and 31.30 for December, or 15 to
20 points under last night’s close. A sale
was made in July contracts at 43.50, or un
changed from the previous night and 25
points under the high level reached yes
terday. Liverpool and New** Orleans bought
on the opening, while Japanese interests,
local traders ani the south sold.
Trading ’continued in July contracts at
43.75 c, and it passed out at that figure at
noon. The latter months were irregular all
the morning, but inclined towards weakness,
with October selling down to 32.85 c, De
cember 31.05 and January 30.35, or a net
loss of 40 to 45 points. After regaining
these* losses later on covering, the market
again became unsettled, with prices a few
points under the previous night’s close.
In the earl yafternoon a fresh selling
movement developed which was led by Nev.-
Orleans, and prices sold off quite sharply.
October declining to 32.92 and December
to 31.12, or 28 to 38 points under last
night’s closing. There was considerable
pressure from local .bears on more favorable
reports from the Atlafitic states and o.
the weakness in the New Orleans market.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 23.—An irregular
and excited market developed in cotton to
day. After advance? of 3 to 13 points on
the strongest months around the first call
there was a slump which finally carried
prices 37 to 64 points under the close of
yesterday, October selling as low at 32.07.
The early steadiness was caused by private
reports of heavy rains here and there in
the interior and the break was due to un
easiness over foreign politics and the slump
in the market for foreign exchange. Yes
terday’s high private condition figures also
caused more or less selling.
At the lowest of the morning, prices were
44 to 64 points down. Realizing by shorts
checked the downward movement, and late
in the morning prices were at net declines
of only 28 to 33 points, but the market was
not displaying much activity or strength.
Midday news dispatches from London re
garding successes by the boishevlki were re
garded as alarming and they threw the mar
ket into an uproar of seling which lasted
nearly to the close. Late in the day prices
were 58 to 86 points under the last quota
tions of yesterday and October traded at

GRAIN
CHICAGO. July* 23.—Unfavorable weather
in the northwest gave an upward tendency
today to the wheat market. Opening prices,
which varied from unchanged to %c higher,
were followed by a moderate general ad
vance.
Soaking rains in western Canada helped
to ease the market later. Prices closed
weak, ’a cent to 1c net lower.
Corn developed strength owing to con
tinued buying on the part of a big elevator
company that has lately been conspicuous
as a purchaser. After opening %c to %e
advance, it fluctuated nervously, but scored
substantial gains.
The close was unsettled at the same as
yesterday’s finish to %c lower.
Oats went higher with corn.
Provisions were without any aggressive
support.

LAWYERSBITTERLY
ASSAIL FATHER OF
MRS. BRADSTREET
A. P. Queen, father of Mrs. Kath
erine Queen Bradstreet, was pic
tured by one side as “an old buzzard
and a lying hound,” and by the other
side as “a hard-working farmer who
earned his money and saved/it,” in
attorneys’ arguments Friday before
Attorney Clarencb Bell, appointed by
the court as a special auditor to take
testimony in litigation growing out
of the Fairburn bank case.
Mr. Queen filed an intervention,
with the court, seeking to recover
the proceeds of the sale of stock in
a grocery store formerly owned by
him near Panthersville. The proceeds
were taken in charge by the receiver
as money due the Fairburn Banking
company before its reorganization.
It was claimed that the stock was
bought with money embezzled from
the bank by its former vice presi
dent, W. B. Green, and turned over
to Mrs. Bradstreet. Mr. Queen
claimed he bought the stock with
his own money.
With the arguments Friday, the
auditor’s hearing- on this phase of
the litigation ended. A hearing will
be held Monday on the bank’s peti
tion, seeking to’ oust Mrs. Gredh from
the Green home at Fairburn. The
auditor’s report will be made to!
Judge W. D. Ellis for final decision I
in the Fulton superior court.
Attorney Reuben R. Arnold and I
Attorney Robert B. Troutman spoke |
for the bank before Auditor Bell Fri- j
day. Attorney Arnold excoriated j
Green as ‘‘an old buzzard and a lying I
scoundrel,” and declared Mrs. Brad- j
street and Green were “a bunch of |
thieves looting a bank.”
“Queen says he didn’t know Green.” i
said Attorney Arnold. “If he didn’t,'
he ought tq have, for Green was a
bigger factor in the life of his own
daughter than Woodrow Wilson is
in the life of the country.”
Attorney Arnold declared Queen’s '
petition was ‘‘contemptible from |
start to finish,” that every nickel :
Mrs. Bradstreet got while s’he knew I
Green was from the Fairburn Bank- |
ing company, and that Queen was!
falsifying in declaring he had ever i
loaned Mrs. Bradstreet any money.,
Referring to Queen’s statement that:
he had $2,000 in cash in his pocket I
when he leased the store, although '
has bank account was overdrawn at
the time, Mr. Arnold asserted that
Queen was “the rottenest business
man with the bank, and the best with
his breeches’ pocket” that he had
ever seen.
Both Attorney Arnold and Attor- i
ney Troutman argued that the stock j
of the store and the furniture found!
at the Queen home were purchased'
with money given to Mrs. Bradstreet
by Green, who got it wrongfully
from the Fairburn Banking company.
Queen was represented by Judge
Benjamin Hill, who objected time
and again to Mr. Arnold’s terms of
“buzzard” and who vigorously de
fended Queen against Attorney’ Arn
old's attacks. He pictured Queen
As an honest, hard-working farmer I
who had earned money and saved I
money land invested It, and was now
about to lose his savings through the
inordinate greed of the prosecution
WOMAN’SBODY
IS DISCOVERED IN
UNCLAIMED TRUNK
NEW YORK, July 23.—The body
of a nude woman, jammed In a trunk,
was found today by employes of the
American Railway Express company
among the unclaimed baggage in the
company’s East Forty-fourth street
warehouse. The trunk had been re
ceived here from Detroit June 17.
Believing the trunk contained per
ishable merchandise, one of the ex
pressmen opened it and found the
woman’s body. The body had been
jammed into the trunk and the
clothes apparently had been thrown
in afterward.
There was no marks of violence
on the body, express company em
ployes said. The police immediately
took possession of the trunk and its
contents for investigation.
The trunk was shipped through the
American Railway Express company
to this city by a man giving the
name of A. A. Tieturn, of 105 Harper
street, Detroit, according to the rec
ords accompanying the baggage, the
police say. It was addressed to
“James Douglas,” New York City,
they declared.
Express company officials said they
had held the trunk at the depot bag
gage room for several days, but when
it was unclaimed they had sent it
to the storeroom.
The police said they will immedi
ately request the Detroit police to
locate the man mentioned in the rec
ord, as the sender of the trunk.
Chief Medical Examiner Norris
examined the body and said the
cause of the death could not as yet
be determined. It was ordered re
moved to the morgue for an au
topsy.»
News of the discovery attracted a
huge crowd in front of the express I
company’s building, and police re
serves had to be summoned.
A man’s coat was found in the
trunk, express employes said, and
there were indications of a “ripper
murder.”
After taking charge of the body,
the police refused to discuss their
investigation or give any additional
information.
Investigation revealed that the
woman’s legs were broken, probably
after death, to make the body fit the
trunk. There are "also indications
that the woman probably had been
strangled.
The feminine wearing apparel
found on the body, the police say,
consisted of a complete outfit, in
cluding silk negligee and high shoes,
evidently of an expensive grad£-
The body, the police later said,
was badly mutilated, apparently '
having been slashed witlf*a knife.
Here’s One Way to
Stop Suburban Car
MOBILE, Ala., July 23.—Because
suburban cars would not. stop at the
station, Harry Barberry, twenty-nine,
of Lovejoy,,a suburb of this city,
placed a scantling across the track,
forcing the third car to stop, he said,
after a night in the county jail.
Barberry said he lost a day’s work
Tuesday when he was unable to board
a car i ntime to get to work, and on
Wednesday when two cars passed by
without stopping he decided to force
the motorman to stop.
ARSENATE URGED
AS A PREVENTIVE
OF BOLL WEEVIL
That the farmers of south Georgia
should begin the use of calcium ar
senate immediately when dry weath
er returns, and that the farmers of
north Georgia should immediately
pick boll weevils off the cotton
I plants, and pick all punctured squares
from the plants and f’.om the ground,
and destroy them, following this up
with calcium arsenate, is the advice
of Ira W. Williams, cotton specialist
in the state department of en
tomology, given in a letter to J. J.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture,
concerning the boll weevil situation.
Mr. 'Williams expresses the opinion
that Georgia can make a good crop
of cotton if the proper steps are
taken without delay to combat the
boll weevil. His letter covers the
situation in detail. Commissioner
Brown is giving the letter the widest
possible circulation for the purpose
of informing the farmers what to
do. He has received hundreds of in
quiries touching the points covered
in the letter. He believes that the
life or death of the cotton crop will
hinge upon the work done by the
farmers in the next twenty days.
Combating the Weevil
Mr. Lewis’ letter is as follows:
"I beg to hand you an additional state
ment in regard to the cotton crop in tins
state; more particularly in regard to the
supreme importance of dusting cotton with
calcium arsenate. ,
‘•I have recently traveled over the state,
and noted the fact that, while the crop
is late, growers have a good chanee to
make a fine crop; provided, they wage a
vigorous war on the boll weevil.
"In the southern part of the state, the
time has passed for picking the Aveevil and
the punctured squares. The only thing to
be done now is thoroughly to dust the cotton
plant with calcium arsenate.
“If, In early spring, tne weevils had been
picked and all the pupnetured squares had
been gathered and destroyed, there would
have been very few weevils in the fields
at the present time,’ notwithstanding the
fact that continuous rains were highly fa
vorable to their development.
“Throughout the entire state, the dry
weather which prevailed during the early
stqge of the development of the cotton
plants was very detrimental to the weevil,
and beneficial to the plants.
High Infestation
“At the cotton experiment stations, the
blocks not dusted in the early part of the
season are showing a comparatively high
per ■ cent of infestation. Unless calcium
arsenate is applied very soon, the weevil
will do great damage. Until the now daily
showers cease, it will be practically impos
sible successfully to dust the plants.
“We recommend that dusting should begin
just as soon as the first brood of Xveevils
makes its appearance. Destroy them be
fore they can deposit eggs which will send
out another generation of weevils that will
immediately begin destructive work on
the remainder of the crop. Die weevil
can be controlled by the proper use of cal
cium arsenate. Therein lies our safety.
“While experiments conducted have not
shown a notable difference between day and
night in treating the plants, we suggest
that the dusting be' done at night or In tne
early morning. Atmospheric conditions are
most favorable for the work at the time
mentioned. The weevils begin work early
in the morning. If the plants have been
dusted as* suggested, you will get the pest.
North Georgia
“In the northern part of the state weevils
have appeared in spota Ou a number of
farms. It is very important that farmers
should pick and destroy every weevil possi
ble and gather and destroy all punctured
squares, whether on the plants or on the
ground; this will be protective work of a
high order. In applying calcium arsenate
to small areas, we recommend that hand
machines be used. In the case of a large
acreage, traction dusters will be found to
be more satisfactory. All these machines
can now be secured, also all the requisite
material for the work. Do not delay;
prompt action is a prerequisite to success.
“Full instructions as to the proper use of
calcium arsenate, and the machines availa
ble for the work, can be obtained by writ
ing to the undersigned, care of the state
board of entomology, state capitol, Atlanta,
or at Thomasville.
“Attention is directed to the fact that
there will probably be another generation
of army worms very soon. In combaing
this pest, dusting with calcium arsenate
will be very effective. Use it as in case
of cotton, but a smaller quantity will an
swer.”
La Follette Repudiates
Party That Has Kept
Him in Public Office
MADISON, Wis., July 23.—Senator
Robert M. La Follette has repudiated
the Republican party as a member
of which he was three times elected
governor of Wisconsin and twice to
the United States senate.
In a signed editorial in La Fol
lette’s magazine issued today, the
senator said: “The old parties have
failed.” He made no mention of
Harding or Cox.
“Popular government cannot long
endure in this country without an
aggressively progressive party,” the
editorial said.
“The Republican and Democratic
conventions, just concluded, demon
strate that these parties are com
pletely controlled through political
bosses by the great special interests
and that th’e election of either of
tehir candidates means a dictatorship
of plutocracy and political and in
dustrial servitude for the great mass
of the people,"

The woman is five feet six inches
tall, weighs 130 pounds and has
brow., hair, brown eyes, with a sl+ght
cast in the left one, and wore a black
and white suit, a rose-colored blouse,

with pink roses. She also had two
gold rings on the middle finger of |
her right hand. In her pocketbook* j
was a picture of herself and a baby. I
who, she said, was her one-year-old '
son, Harry.

REPRESENTATIVES
OF COX AT WORK
FOR RATIFICATION
COLUMBUS, 0.. July 23.—Governor
James M. Cox today informed a com
mittee of suffrage leaders that he
has already sent personal representa
tives into Tennessee to work for rati
fication of the suffrage amendment at
the special session beginning Au
gust 9.
Announcement was made at the
governor’s office also that George
White, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, has wired state
chairmen urging them to have Demo
cratic speakers at all chautauquas
during the next few months.
Preparations of his address for ac
ceptance of the Democratic president
ial nomination on August 7 were the
principal duties toaay before Gover
nor Cox. He was to leave here at
2:40 o’clock for his home at Dayton
with the intention of devoting all of
next week to drafting his acceptance
speech.
Governor Cox has refrained from
indicating the viewpoint of Demo
cratic leadership on the acceptance
address yesterday of Senator Hard
ing. the Republicans’ presidential
entrant. The governor has indicated
that his chief thought now is on
what he himself shall say to the
electorate in his address on August
7, rather than in declarations of the
opposition.
Interest at present centers in the
exact stand of the nominee on pro
hibition. Since his nomination, the
governor has made himself clear-on
several important issues, hut the
telegram of Richmond P. “Hobson,
of the Anti-Saloon league, asking
whether Governor Cox favors a
“wet” modification of the Volstead
law, remains unanswered. To re
cent inquiries Governor Cox has in
dicated his answer will be in his
speech of acceptance.
The League of Nations, the causes
of the present unrest throughout the
country, federal taxation, the high
cost of living, and farming condi
tions will be given prominent places
in the speech, but one of the out
standing themes of the speech will
be an attempt to show that the Re
publican party “has drifted back into
reaction,” a close adviser said today.
Governor Cox is studying carefully
the full text of Senator Harding’s
speech yesterday and it is thought
probable that he will reply to some
sections of it.
Data for Governor’ Cox’s speech
has been furnished in large volume
by the White House and other gov
ernment departments in Washing
ton. In addition, thousands of ap
peals and suggestions have been re
ceived from individuals. Speaking
«of these, Governor Cox said the gen
eral trend was that he should come
out strong for progressive princi
ples.
White Man Held
On Serious Charges
HILLSBORO, N. C., Julv 23.—A mob
was reported forming here to storm
the jail where Sam Lackey, white,
is held on serious charges, preferred
by Maggie Moize, 25. The girl was
found staggering- along along a road
near here, suffering from brutal mis
treatment.
She told the sheriff Lackey had
tied her to a tree, beaten, chewed
and mutilated her until she became
unconscious. He had lured her from
her home at Statesville, N. C., she
said, on” promise of marriage, but
later had become infuriated, destroy
ed the marriage license, and mis
treated her.
Lackey had beaten her five times
—twice when she was bound to a
tree, the sheriff said. The girl was
taken to a Burlington hospital.
Lackey’s story practically sub
stantiates the girl’s account, au
thorities said, though he protested
his undying love for her. He is be
ing held on charges of seduction, in
tent to murder, and carrying con-1
cealed weapons.

crete road could have been built for
the amount the war cost us?
«5—A. Figuring the war to have
cost us $30,000,000,000 and the aver
age cost of a mile of concrete road
to be $40,000, the money spent in the
great conflict would have built 750,-
000 miles of good road, or 250 trunk
lines across the continent, or one
every five miles, from Canada to the
gulf.
6Q. Who was the first woman
physician in the United States?
6A. She was Miss Elizabeth
Blackwell, an American of English
birth, who, after many attempts to
enter medical colleges, was received
at one at Geneva, N. Y., in 1849. A
few years later she received her de
gree of M. D.

half a century.

snakes. 2,000 frogs and toads; 200
1 salamanders, and 12,000 fishes.
SENATE BILL MAY
END DISPUTE AT
GEORGIA NORMAL
What is expected to prove a solu
tion of one of the problems now fac
ing the officials of the Georgia Nor
ma] and Industrial college at Mil
ledgeville is contained in a bill pass
ed by the senate on Friday. The
measure places in the hands of the
president and faculty of that insti
tution the authority to select appli
cants for admission and repeals the
act of 1889, delegating this authority
to the several county boards of edu
cation.
The bill was passed by the house
several days ago and now goes to the
governor for his signature. It is con
sidered probable that the governor
will sign it without delay so that
the provisions of the measure may
become effective at once and govern
the admission of students at G. N. &
1. C. this coming fall.
In selecting the applicants for ad
mission the president and faculty are
required to give representation to all
sections of the state and to distrib
ute their scholarships equably among
all counties.
INew Pension Bill
The rules committee has been re
quested in a resolution by Senator
Clements to make a special order
for next Tuesday of a bill repealing
the act of 1910 which authorizes the
appointment of three trustees from
the general board of the state uni
versity to the boards of each of the
university branches. This bill was
given a hearing before the senate
committee on the University of Geor
gia on Thursday afternoon and was
reported back Friday morning with
a favorable recommendation after
having been amended so as to make
its provisions applicable only to the
Georgia Normal and Industrial col-
Under the provisions of another
bill passed on Friday, Confederate
veterans applying for pension will
not be restricted in furnishing proof
of their service in the Confederate
armies, but will be allowed greater
latiture in cases where their com
rades are dead and they are left un
able to supply the necessary affi
davjts.
Among the bills introduced was
a measure by Senator Wilkinson, of
the Forty-ninth, providing for the
appointment of 51 fertilizer inspec
tors to serve four months of the
year at SIOO a month. Another bill
introduced by Senator Kea, of the
Sixteenth, would retain for the state
of Georgia civil and criminal juris
diction over land ceded to the Unit
ed States or acquired by the federal
government.
