COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—Covering was re
newed at the opening today, first prices
being 80 points higher on October, and from
35 to 54 points higher on later deliveries.
Firm Liverpool cables, reports that London
was still hopeful of an early settlement
of the strike, Liverpool buying and un
settled weather in the southwest, were fea
tures which promoted covering by local
shorts. Spot houses and some of the south
,ern wire houses sold on the advance, how
ever, and fluctuations after the call were
irregular, December easing off from 19.28
to 19.05 and then rallying to 19.15 compared
with 18.90 at the close yesterday.
Trading became less active later, and
fluctuations were irregular. The absence of
hedge selling on anything like the recent
scale had a sustaining influence, however,
and prices worked back to about the early
high point. December worked up from 19.05 c
to 19.28 c and March from 18.90 c to 19.20 c,
or 38 to 57 points net higher, but the week
ly report of the weather bureau was more
favorable than expected and there were
reactions of several points early in the noon
hour. .
Reports from England that negotiations
were under way that might end the coal
strike before the week was over and the
statement in the weekly crop reports from
the government that picking was completed
over a good portion of the southern and
central sections of the belt sent the market
up again in the late trading. Toward the
close prices were at net gains of 46 to 48
points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON 1
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.—Much better
cables than due and too much rain in the
belt west of the Mississippi river put the
price of cotton strongly higher today. In
the first hour of business tha etcive months
rose 50 to 60 points, December advancing
to 18.92 and May to 18.58. Reports from
the interior that little spot cotton was
for sale gave the market a good under
one.
Realizing by recent buyers was not well
received and the market fell off until Oc
tober was a point under yesterday’s close
and the gains on other months were reduced
‘o 2 to 8 points. Lat e in the morning the
one was steadier and prices recovered to
.et advances of 7 to 18 points.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.—Persistent re
ports from England that there were good
chances for settling the coal strike this
week increased bullish sentiment in the cot
ton market today and, combined with good
cables, caused strong advances in the early
trading. The feature of the weekly crop
reports was the claim that picking has been
completed over wide areas, which means
that the crop is smaller than most people
have been countingyon. We believe in buy
ing cotton on all breaks.

Auburn Agricultural
Building Is Burned;
Valuable Records Lost
AUBURN, Ala., Oct. 19.—A dis
astrous tire visited the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute early Sunday
morning which completely destroyed
the agricultural building and along
with it records of priceless value,
representing the work of the experi
ment station for the past twenty-five
years. The alarm was given by the
night watchman at a little after
midnight, when flames were seen
darting from the windows of the Bo
tanical laboratory on the third floor
immediately over the stairway. The
building is a half mile or more from
the town and although the fire ap
paratus was Immediately hurried to
the scene and a line of hose laid, rhe
fire had gained too much headway for
any approach to be made through the
stairway.
As a result the salvage was al
most entirely confined to the first
floor, from which all of the furniture,
office furnishings, desks, etc., were
safely removed. The building hous
ed the offices of the departments of
animal husbandry, horticulture, en
tomology, agronomy, botany, plant
pathology, dairying and agricultural
engineering all of which suffered
practically a total loss. Particular
regret is felt for the loss of the
records of valuable experiments
made for the past quarter of a cen
tury and wh;ch of course it is im
possible to replace. Many manu
scripts, as well as valuable bulle
tins already in print, were included
in the loss.
The structure was one of the
handsomest buildings bn the college
property, having been built ten
years ago during the administration
of Governor Comer, and named in
his honor. It was three stories'
with basement, and built entirely of
brick with stone trimmings. Its or
iginal cost was $67,000 exclusive of
the heating apparatus and plumbing,
a total probably of nearly $75,000. It
could not be replaced for twice that
amou'nt today. The insurance on the
building amounted ta $75,000 and on
the equipment $12,000 having been
wisely increased recently, because of
the largely Increased expense of con
struction. Practically the only sal
vage, will be in the brick of the four
outside walls, which still remain
standing.
Defective wir ng seems to be the
only explanation of the origin of the
fire, as no one had been in the labor
atory for twelve hours previous. Dr.
Gardner left the building at 12
o’clock Saturday with everything in.
perfect condition at that time. Dr.
Gardner suffered the personal loss of
a valuable botanical collection which
he has oeen assembling for a long
period of years
Dr. Dowell and the faculty have
promptly taken matters in hand,
with the result that ample provision
has been made elsewhere for the
classes that have been reciting in the
Agricultural building. Examinations
started Monday and these will be
held just as usual, in other build
ings which have been provided, such
as the gymnasium, old Presbyterian
church. Methodist Sunday school and
Y. M. C. A. rooms. Dr. Dowell ad
dressed the students immediately
after roll call to assure them there
would be no interruption in study or
classes because of the fire. Though
the disaster will prove a decided
handicap, there is every determina
tion that the work of the student
body shall not suffer even for one
day.

KANSASGOVERNOR
WILL INSIST ON
WHEAT PIT PROBE
TOPEKA, Kans., Oct. 19.—Gov
ernor Allen will press his demands
£or a government investigation of
the Chicago Board of- Trade on his
charges that wheat prices have been
manipulated, he said here today,
upon his return from an eastern
campaign speaking tour.
“My request to President Wilson,”
he said “was merely for an. investi
gation as to operations on the board.
“I am now awaiting action on that
request and believe an investiga
tion will show some startling facts
and conditions.”
Referring to the recent slumps of
wheat and cotton, Governor Allen
said:
“If it is shown that these price
fluctuations were due to speculation,
cold, deliberate gambling, and not
conditions of supply and demand, I
will urge abolition of the board. In
any even I will fight illegal gam
bling in necessities.
“It is impossible to conceive how
various forms ot gambling in the
state and nation should be made Il
legal and yet become perfectly legit
imate when the speculators and
gamblers are betting on the prices
of the food we must eat and the
clothes we must wear.
"Had the Kansas farnjers sold
their wheat under the repent break
they would have ben forced to lose
$190,000,000. I cannot see the merit
of a legalized gamble in necessi
ties by persons who sell thousands
of bushels of grain they do not own
and who buy thousands of bushels
of grain that Is never delivered.”
Convict Escapes in
His Pajamas; Steals
Automobile Also
The fact that a suit of pajamas
constituted his raiment was no hand
icap to J. P. Seagle, nineteen years
old, a convict, when he escaped Mon
day noon from the hospital at Bell
wood convict camp. The young man
made his departure by stealing an
automobile belonging to Dr. Paul
McDonald, camp physician, and up
to the present time he has not been
recaptured. The machine was found
a short time after the escape, where
it had been abandoned at the Chat
tahoochee river. It is believed the
young man boarded a train fdr Chat
tanooga.
Seagle was confined In the hos
pital as a result of an attack of
rheumatism. Monday morning when
Dr. McDonald called at the hospital
to make his rounds Seagle is said
to have left his bed and made his
way to the open where the camp
physician had left his automobile. He
was soon speeding on the road to
freedom. Guards fired at the flee
ing machine, some of the bullets
striking the car, but the young man
got away.
Seagle drove the car out the Mari
etta road a distance of about six
miles and then turned into the Bolton
road. Just ’before reaching the
Mayson and Turner road bridge he
turned into the woods and abandor.fi
the car near the river. Bloodhounus
were put on his track which led the
searchers into Cobb county, but in
formation was received at a flag
station which showed that a young
man answering the description of
Seagle had flagged a passenger train
bound for Chattanooga and had got
aboard the train.
Locate $30,000 of
Missing Funds of
Acworth Cotton Mill
MARIETTA, Ga., Oct. 19.—Audi
tors investigating the books of the
Acworth Cotton mills have located
$30,Q00 of the $50,000 which is al
leged to have been misappropriated
by B. F. Hetrick, president of the
company. The whereabouts of Het
rick remains a mystery.
The disclosures showed that $30,-
000 of the missing funds had been
invested in stock in the Marietta
Manufacturing company. The stock
has been ordered transferred to the
Acworth bills by order of Judge D.
W. Blair.
The work of the auditors in pro
gressing and those who are familiar
with the facts of the case declare
that the final shortage will be be
tween $15,000 and $25,000. Orlando
Awtrey, former president of the Ac
worth mills, has been appointed re
ceiver and has assumed management
of the mill which is operating as us
ual.
Hetrick, the missing president of
the mill, is under $5,000 bond which
will be forfeited unless he presents
himself at the November term of
Cobb county superior court.
