MUTT AND JEFF— MY WORD, BUT ISN’T JEFF - "A PESSIMISTIC LITTLE CHAP! BY BUD FISHER COTTON 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.

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.

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.

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," Can’t Remember Who She Is, or Where She Lives NEW YORK.—A woman who said she knew nothing about herself ex cept that she was Mrs. Mary Nelson, twenty years old, was taken to the psychopathic ward of Bellevue hos pital from the East Twenty-second street police station, outside of which she had been found by Patrolman James Btirke.

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.
