COTTON
NOW YORK, Nov. I.—The cotton market
opened at an advance of 37 to 57 point*
in response to unexpectedly firm cables and
unfavorable weather in the south. Liver
pool and Wall street brokers were good buy
ers, and the firmer showing of Liven-00l
evidently increased a disposition to coven
short contracts in advance of the hohuay
tomorrow. Tbe New Orleans market was
closed in observance of All Saints day, but
New Orleans was a seller here, while there
was also scattered selling for southern
account. These offerings caused some irreg
ularity after the call, but they were readily
absorbed, with December contracts selling
up ' to 21.50 c and January to 20.95 c during
the early trading, or about 58 to 67 points
net higher on the more active positions. *.
The forenoon advance extended to 21.75 c
for December and 21 19c for January, with
active months generally showing net ad
vances of SO to 90 points. There was a
little scattered southern selling, but very
little pressure from that source, while Liv
erpool and Wall stseet were good buyers on
the advance. The demand tapered off dur
ing the middle of the day, however, and
trading was very quiet during the early
afternoon, with prices showing reactions ot
20 or 25 points from tbe best. Liverpool
trade advices attributed the advance there
to small hedge selling and scattered buying
on prospects for a renewal of trade with
Russia.
Trading was very quiet during the middle
of the afternoon and no fresh feature de
veloped with Deceineber ruling around 21.47
and January 21.00, or about 54 to 72 points
net higher. '

S. h'. Weld & Co.: We see nothing in the
situation to indicate the possibility of any
material or sustained advance, and in antici
pation of lower prices, think that sales on
strong markets will prove profitable.
Moyse & Holmes: We cannot advise pur
chases until conditions change, even though
prices • look attractive.
Gwathmey & Co.: We rather anticipate
wide fluctuations and a trading market dur
ing the readjustment after the recent exten
sive decline, and fir the present prefer pur
chases on any sharp breaks belo wtbe 20-eent

Hubbard Bros. & Co.: We regret to say
that we do not yet see that improvement in

believe the decline was permanently over.

Cuban Sugar Loan
Is Estimated at
About $50,000,000
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Details
of the prospective Cuban loan to be
used for financing this year’s sugar
crop will be arranged In New York
early next week by representatives of
the Cuban legation and American
banks. Instead of the $75,000,000 or
SIOO/000,000 which J. P. Morgan &
CO-, the National City bank, the Chase
Securities corporation and their as
sociates have offered to secure, it
was estimated Saturday that the
amount necessary would probably
not exceed $50,000,000.
Under the provisions of the -Platt
amendment the consummation of the
transaction requires thd approval of
the department, but it is un
derstood the extension of approval in
this case is little more than a for
mality and will be granted upon re
quest. However, the question has
not yet been submited to the depart
ment.
Wheat and Flour
Imports From Canada
Break Previous Records
WASHINGTON, N»v. I.—lmporta
tions of wheat and wheat flour from
Canada during the first fifteen days
of October were grea/ter than during
any similar period during the past
seven years, the federal trade com
mission announced today as the first
result in its investigation of wheat
markets and prices undertaken at
thp order of President Wilson.
The president's order to investi
gate wheat followed protests from
Governor Allen, of Kansa thkt specu
lators were articically depressing
wheat prices. Farmers declared
there is a world shortage of wheat.
Imports during the first fifteen
rtavs of October from Canada were:
Wheat 4,953,683 bushels, flour 65.-
946 barrels.
It was pointed out here that im
portations from Canada would tend
to drive wheat prices in this coun
try downward.
Weekly Review of
Dry Goods Market
NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Very light
sales at the lowest prices still char
acterize the cotton goods markets.
Wide sheetings offered for delivery
in November, December and January
by the largest producer were taken
up to the extent of two-thlrds of
the offerings while bleached
have sold in a moderate way. Per
cales have not moved to any extent
owing to the reluctance of the larger
producers to name new prices while
the demand for spring goods remain
ed dormant. Yarns have declined tb
lower levels, and many sheetings are
now quoted at ' the lowest prices
touched this year. Fine combed yarn
goods continued to weaken in price,
the demand being negligible. Jobbers
have been conducting forced sales
at low prices to meet the readjust-:
ment of prices in primary channels.
The mills are giving notice daily
of a purpose to curtail production
this week, some oi the large south
ern plants having decided to go on
ha)f time or to stop for an indefinite
period, beginning Saturday. ,
New England mills in some cen
ters aYe operating at half capacity
or less. ’
In the effort to make the very
low prices current for cloths, some
mills have reduced wages from 10
to 25 per cent. In New England
the wage question wil come up for
discussion by unions and manufac
turers next, month and union leaders
are already giving notice that they
will resist any reductions. The cur
rent wage agreement period expires
on December 6. Knitting mills are
generally reported as running to
about half capacity. The hope is
expressed in the trade that some re
vival will be-noticed soon after elec
tion day. , '■ „„
Prices follow: Print cloths, 28-
inch, 64x60’s 8 cents; 64x60’8, 7 3-4

The True Work
Old Pllton had strong ideas on many
things and never ,hesitated to voice them.
One day he was accosted by a very healthy
looking individual, who begged for a dime
to buy .n bite.
I’ll ton eyed the man sternly.
“You should be working,” he said coldly.
“Why do you waste your time begging?”
The suppliant drfew himself erect.
“Have you ever begged?” he demanded in
return.
“Me! Os course not,” snapped old Pllton
angrily.

ACRES OF COTTON
TO BE LOST FOR
LACK OF PICKING
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 30. —Thou-
sands of acres of cotton in the tri
states (Tennessee, Arkansas apd
Mississippi) may never be picked
this fall, according to cotton men
hers. Numerous reports were re
ceived today from farmers who
claim they are unable to pfiy the
price asked by pickers and may be
forced to abandon their crop.
“Farmers are reporting that they
are unable to get cotton pickers ex
cept at excessive wages,” R. C. Wells,
manager of the Memphis employment
bureau, said. “It will cost the farm
er more than half of what he gets
to cover planting, picking and gin
ning, not considering his own time
and general farm expenses.”
Like reports were received today
by a number of merchants and busi
ness men from planters and tenants.
“With cotton at 45 cents a pound,
the farmer could afford to pay $2 a
100 pounds for having his cotton
picked, but now he would be in debt
when his crop was sold,” Mfells said.
It is estimated by local*planters
that 5,000. cotton pickers .could be
used in the tri-states and Alabama
now to harvest the croiX The supply
of farm labor is reported very low.

Clothes Set on Fire
COUNCIL BLUFFS. lowa, Oct. 30.
Lured to a lonely part of the city
by a fake telephone call, the Rev.
Dr. D. E. Cleveland, pastor of the
Dodge Memorial church, and prom
inent in civic affairs, late last night
was slugged, bound and gagged by
four thugs, who threw him into: an
automobile truck, soaked his clothes
tn oil and then set fire to the car.
He saved himself from being burn
ed to death by rolling out of the
truck.
Two boys who were attracted by
the blazing car found Dr. Cleveland.
He was taken to a local hospital,
where it was reported today his con
dition is critical.
Dr. Cleveland said he was certain
the motive for the attack on him was
revenge for steps taken by him to
suppress a wave of crime in the sec
tion of the city in which his church
is located.
He said he believed he could iden
tify one of his assailants. '
FOURTEEN HURT IN
MARIETTA CRASH
ARE RECOVERING
MARIETTA, . Ga., Nov. 1. —Os the
fourteen persons injured in a crash
at the Kennesaw avenue railroad
crossing here at 9:40 o’clock Sunday
tnorning, eleven were in the Nolan
sanitarium Monday, all expected >to
live, though two are reported in a
decidedly serious condition —the Rev,
J.< J. Crowe, of 32 McDaniel street,
Atlanta, and the infant of ,Mrs,
Myrtle Duncan, of Marietta.
Mr. Crowe was operated on Sunday
afternoon for a fracture of the skull
and Monday morning was reported
to have had a fairly good night and
to be resting well. He was con
scious.
The Duncan infant also suffered
a fracture of the skull, btit an
operation was not indicated, the doc
tors said. Its condition Monday
morning was satisfactory. *
■ Another Atlantian, Leo C. Cox,
also was severely injured, suffering
a deep scalp wound and a severe
shock. He is engineer at the Kim
ball house, in Atlanta.
The complete list of injured is as
follows:
Rev. J. J. Crowe, 32 McDaniel
street, Atlanta; Leo C. Cox, Atlanta;
B. W. P<?pe, Acworth; Mr. and Mrs.
William Murdock, Marietta: Mrs. W.
D. McAfee and baby, Marietta; Mrs.
Myrtle Duncan and baby, of Mari
etta; Mrs. Hall, Atlanta; Miss Gar
ret, Marietta; Robert Benjamin, col
ored; Vivian Benjamin-, colored; Al
berta Burch, colored, Marietta.
The party was in an automobile
Tius that plies between Marietta and
Acworth, and was struck by a south
bound N. C. & St. L. passenger train
at the Kennesaw avenue crossing,
where, it is said, no watchman is
stationed on Sunday. The crossing
has a nearly “blind” approach on both
sides, it being Impossible to see an
approaching train until a vehicle is
practically upon the tracks.
Fortunately, the train was slow
ing down as jt reached the crossing,
and the engineer able to bring
it to a stop about forty yards be
yond. The ’bus which was carrying
sixteen passengers, was squarely
struck and completely wrecked, being
carried about ten feet in front of the
locomotive. The front end of the
’bus had cleared the track and the
driver, Ralph Fowler, was not in
qured,
Mr. Crowe is pastor of the Stewart
Avenue Baptist church, in Atlanta.
He was on his -way to visit a church
near Marietta. He is married and
has five children. Mr. Cox. was on
the way to attend the funeral of a
brother-in-law at\ Acworth. (He lives
at 72 Bern© street, and has a wife
and four children.
The accident occurred only a few
blocks from the Nolan hospital, and
ambulances, physicians and nurses
were quickly on the scene, the in
jured persons receiving prompt and
effective care.
A little more than a year ago
the same bus was in a railroad ac
cident near Acworth and a soldier
passenger was killed.

“NIGHT RIDERS”
ARE UNDER BAN
OFKUKLUXKLAN
■ 1
Every branch of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan and. every member
of this organization are commanded
to use all Influence within their pow
er to suppress operations of so
called “night riders” and to assist
officers of the law in their apprehen
sion, in a decree issued Saturday
by Colonel William J. Simmons, im
perial wizard of the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan.
1 In connection with the official de
cree Colonel Simmons,’ in a separate
statement, calls the attention of the
kl'ansmen to the fact that in some
quarters [the guilt for posting no
tices on 6otton gins and, in some in
stances, threatening owners who do
not close them, is being laid on the
Ku Klux Klan because the men who
commit these acts wear masks or
robes somewhat resembling tjie of
ficial regalia of the klan.
In this regard he says:
“For two reasons it is especially
important that members of the Ku
Klux Klan do all in their power to
assist officers of the law to suppress
the operations of these 'night riders.’
In the first place, they are guilty of
criminal violence of law and if al
lowed to continue there is no fimit
to the extent which this power of in
timidation under cover of darkness
may be used. The Knights of the
Ku KltiX Klan are, sworn to uphold
the law under any and all circum
stances and it is especially neces
sary at this critical time that every
law-abiding citizen discharge this
duty without fear or favor.
“In the second place; the opera
tions of these ‘night riders’ are
bringing odium upon the Ku Klux
Klan because in some instances their
criminal conduct is being laid at the
door of members of this organiza
tion. There is, of course, no excuse
for this outrageous slander other
than the fact that these ’night riders
clothe themselves in garments some
what resembling the official regalia
of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
the exclusive right to the use of
which has been legally bestowed
upon this organization.
"However, since these gin posters
and gin burners are being confused'
in the minds of some persons with
members of this organization it be
hooves every member to be particu
larly vigilant in exposing them to the
proper authorities and thus assist

From Fitzgerald Jail
FITZGERALD, Ga.. Nov. I.—Elev
en negroes awaiting trial in Ben Hill
county jail escaped early Sunday
morning. One of them has been cap
tured.
According ot Tom Turner, recap
tured, the plot to escape was en
gineered by Tom Horne, charged
with assault with Intent Vo murder,
and Danjel Davis, charged with as
sault with intent to rape. One or
both of them filed out a key to
fit the individual cell doors. Horne,
who was a trusty, released Daniels
from his cage during the day and
Daniels concealed himself by *mb
ing on top of his cage. He vnen
turned out his fellow-prisoners about
2 o’clock this morning. They made
their escape frAm the jail by break
-ing a small padlock oh the door lead
ing to the coal bin and crawling out
of the coal chute.
So quietly was the escape effected
that Sheriff E. P. Dorminey had no
inkling of it until he went into the
cell corridor at breakfast time.
in the suppression of their activities,
so that respectable,/law-abiding cit-,
izens may conduct their own affairs
as they see fit, without let or hin
drance, and go about their Business
with the knowledge that their lives
