Tri-Weekly Market Reports COTTON NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—'The cotton market showed continued nervousness during today’s early trading. The opening was steady at .a decline of 25 to 44 points in response to weak Liverpool cables with January sell ing at 15.50 and March at 15.60, on the call, or about 90 to 95 points below the ' high prices of yesterday. Liverpool and the south were sellers but Wall street was a good buyer and the market showed rallies of 20 points or so from the lowest. Liver pool trade advices said that fifty per cent short time in Lancashier would affect 75 per cent of the total spindles and unfa vorable domestic trade reports were also a factor on the opening decline. Early rallies were followed by renewed weakness during the morning owing to the continuation of the decline in Liverpool, further Liverpool, southern and local sell ing. January deliveries broke to 15.35 and March to 15.48. or 59 to 62 points net lower, making a reaction of about a cent a pound from the high levels touched on the rally of yesterday morning. Offerings were less active after the close of Liverpool, but trading became quiet and bulges of some 10 or 15 points were not fully maintained at midday. The market broke early in the afternoon under renewed liquidation following reports that Secretary Houston had informed con gressional committees on agriculture that he knew of no solution to the problem in volved in the decline of foreign prices. Ac tive months sold 60 to 73 points net lower, but the market rallied later on covering. 4 with January selling up from 15.24 c to |5.65c shortly after 2 o'clock.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3. —Persistent sell ing pressure was felt by cotton today, mainly as the result of the balloting by British spinners on the question of short time. According to the latest cablegrams 93 per cent of the spinners voted in favor of a 24-hour week, or half time. This de pressed the Liverpool before the American markets opened. The opening here was lower and the decline was gradually widened until it amounted to 62 to 84 points, Jan uary dropping to 14.62 and July to 15.00. There were none Os the strong reactions that have featured the market of late. Late in the session prices were 30 to 35 points up from the lowest on realizing by shorts. The fall in the Bank of England's reserve to 7.88 was unquestionably a sell ing influence today, in spite of the fact that students of finance pointed out that the rate of discount still remained un changed at 7 per eent. A low rate compared with what omney is lending at in the south. Another selling feature was the ru mor that the National Ginners’ association was coming out with a crop estimate of 13.500.000 bales. Sentiment is more bearish and it may force further declines but we believe in paying a little more attention to the tech nical position the market is in than most people seem willing to do. Around the close the market advanced sharply on persistent reports that the Na tional Ginners’ figures for the period would be bullish, the market closing steady within a few points of best prices for the day.

S. Is Expected by Year’s End WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Despite the increase of $112,646,571 in the public debt during 1 November, an nounced by the treasury, officials of the department declared that at the end of the year a reduction of $300,- 000,000 could be expected from the gross debt of $24,087,000,000 as it stood on September* 30. On November 30 the nation’s debt was $24,175,156,244, compared with $24,862,509,672 on October 30. Offl • cials explained, however, that the November 15 issue of treasury cer tificates, amounting to $232,000,000, with only $94,000,000 in certificates maturing in the month, was mainly responsible for the Increase. Reduction in the public debt is possible only as tax installments come due quarterly, offlcails declar ed. With judicious financing, it was confidently asserted that the last quarter of this year would show a reduction of from $100,000,000 to $300,000,000 from the debt totals. Nearly $700,000,000 of treasury certificates mature December 15, of ficials said, with approximately $650,- 000,000 due the treasury from income and excess profits taxes to meet this debt.

All-Night Search Fails To Find Missing Men In Wrecked Building NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—An all-night search through the massive piles of masonry that deluged Eifty-second street at Broadway when a nine-story apartment house collapsed Wednes day afternoon failed to establish defi nitely early Thursday whether any lives were lost. Six workmen, how ever, who were members of a wreck ing crew demolishing the structure, were still unaccounted for, and four unclaimed overcoats still hanging in basemint lockers bore mute testi mony that at least that many per sons may have been killed. The avalanche, which rumbled into the street just as throngs of people leaving work or returning home from theaters filled Broadway, crumpled the wood structure erected over the sidewalk for the protection of pedes trians as If It had been made of paper. « The first task Thursday was to dis lodge other parts of the building that threatened to fall, for workmen and officers of the fire department refused to dig for the bodies of possible vic tims where danger menaced them. City officials began an investigation to determine whether the collapse was due to negligence. Coyotte Loses Race With Sneed Flivver FORT COLLINS. Col.—Lowell Allen, student at Colorado State Agricultural college, on his way to college in his flivver, saw a coyote in the road. The next instant the animal was a gray streak ahead. Allen stepped on the gas. The coyote kept to the road, its tongue hanging out as it broke all coyote records; but nearer and nearer crawled the Henry, with a grin on its radiator, until, with a final grunt and rattle, it leaped upon the vanquished speed king of the prairie and ran over him. ABBEVILLE BUZZES WITH RUMORS ABOUT SHEPARD MYSTERY (Continud from Page 1) Shepard murder case will be given by residents of this city and of Wil cox county has become known here, particularly since the arrest of Mrs. F. E. Elmer, former wife of Mr. Fred D. Shepard, her sister, Mrs. lone Henry, of Perry; Mrs. Annie Cutts, formerly of this city, but now of Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hopson, son of Mrs. Elmer by her first marriage. Statements made by several well known citizens or Abbeville, prior to and since Mr. Shepards myste rious death June 1, 1920, have been made the basis of exhaustive investi gations by the authorities working under the direction of Solicitor Gen eral Charles H. Garrett, of the Bibb superior court. The result of these investigations has been to material ly strengthen the case of the state, according to the officials. Particular importance is attached to the statements made by Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Turner, who were tenants on the farm where Mrs. Cutts spent most of her time up to three weeks ago. It has also been indicated that John Turner, their son, will give vital testimony when the case comes up for preliminary hearing Decem ber 7 before Judge H. A. Matthews, in Macon. That J. J. Peterson, who was also employed at the Cutts farm for some time, will be an important witness at he hearing and at the trial of the case in the superior court, is also generally believed here. Mrs. Cutts was born and reared in this county. The Cutts farm on the western outskirts of Abbeville is kell known throughout this section, and there Mrs. Cutts has resided al most continually, although her hus band, Floridge Cutts. well-known at torney of Fitzgerald, made his resi dence in Ben Hill county spending the week-ends with his wife on the farm here. Turners Evicted The Turners were tenants on the Cutts farm until a few months ago when they were evicted by Mrs. Cutts following a shooting affair in which Turner wounded John S. Hopson, caused, it is said, by a difficulty be tween Hopson and Mrs. Turner. John Turner, son of the overseer, declared today—and he has previous ly made the same statements —that Mrs. Cutts about three months be fore Mr. Shepard’s death had a mis understanding with the elder Tur ner. He says that Mrs. Cutts talked about tbe affair to him. that he went and told his father what she said, and that they agreed—he and his father —-that it would be best for the youth to get out of the commu nity for fear he might be made the scapegoat in case any unseemly in cidents occurred on the farm, and the young man was sent immediately to the home of his uncle in Wayne county. ' There he stayed for about three months, returning to Abbeville to find both his father and his mother locked up in the Wilcox county jail as the result of the shooting of John Hopson. He says that he knows nothing of the developments occurring in the Shepard case after his departure for Wayne county, his knowledge of events being based up on statements made to him by Mrs. Cutts before his departure. He in timated that his testimony concern ing these statements will be of a sensational nature. Sensations Hinted , The Turners talk freely of the Shepard case, especially about Mrs. Cutts’ connection with the mystery that has kept the people of this sec tion in a high state of excitement for weeks past. They seem to have en joyed the fullest confidence of Mrs. Cutts prior to the shooting affair May 17. Turner was overseer on the Cutts farm then and Mrs. Turnei says that she was on intimate terms with Mrs. Cutts. often going into the home. Both strongly intimate that, they will give testimony of a sensa tional nature when put on the stand. It is generally believed that the Tur ners will* be the star witnesses for the prosecution in the case. Street corner talk in Abbeville has been of little but the Shepard case for weeks, and a veritable buzz of rumors fly hither and yon almost with the speed of the wind. "Young Turner Feared Trouble When closely questioned today about his knowledge of the circum stances surrounding the death of Mr. Shepard or the details of the alleged' conspiracy to poison the wealthy Fort Valley peach grower, Young Turner declined to make a full dis closure, saying that he had promised the authorities not to divulge cer tain facts In his possession. He did not hesitate to say, however, that his departure from Abbeville three months before Mr. Shepard’s death was taken advisely and in the full belief that a conspiracy against Mr. Shepard was being concocted, and that he. Turner, feared he would be made the scapegoat. Some comment was caused about town by alleged happenings at the Cutts’ farm for several months prior to the development of the Shepard case, according to citizens here. In fact. It is stated, that city • officials made protest to relatives of Mrs. Cutts, asking that they do their ut most to put a stop to tn© "parties” at the farm. It is said that Ernest Hopson was a frequent visitor at the Cutts farm and that John Hop son. his elder brother, spent much of his time there. WAR ON WHISKY PEDDLERS DECLARED BY BOYS’ MOTHERS (Oontlnud from Page 1) lanta,” said one of the officers, "and we believe Voiles and Thompson were merely acting for somebody else.” Young Meadows told Commissionei Carter he "didn’t know why” they drank the whisky, that he "guessea it was just lack of sense.” Mrs. Allen reiterated her assertion that the mothers of Western Heights are determined to stop whisky ped dling in the neighborhood. “It is a well known fact,” she de clared, “that bootlegging is going on freely in that part of town —and 1 believe in every other part of town Why the police are blind to it, I don't know. Why, everybody around oui neighborhood knows about an old ne gro woman who lives near there ana has ma<3e $3,000 this year selling whisky. "You can believe me, though, that this experience has taught many ot us mothers a lesson. I don’t care if D. V. is eighteen years old, he's not going out with the ‘gang’ any more. He can have his friends at the house, or he can go to their houses. Or he can go to shows or out with a nice girl.

Two Urchins, 8 and 10, Adm it They Are Burglars, New York Police Claim MOVE TO ELIMINATE ARTICLE X BEGUN BY LEAGUE MEMBERS (Continud from Page 1) States would in no way commit the American government to whatever opinions may be finally put forward in the report of the cortimission. Nor, inded, can that report itself be more than a basis for the considera tion by the members of the league of the measures of reductions in armaments which united action may enable them to achieve. Neverthe less, just as in the case of the fi nancial conference at Brussels, the presence of an American representa tive was an important factor in the success of the work of the con ference, so it cannot be doubted that the general consideration of the subject of the reduction of arma ments will be greatly facilitated if the government of the United States can see its way to be represented in a similar manner, at the meeting ot the permanent advisory commission. "The problem is one to which pub lic opinion in all countries attaches the highest importance. “It is unnecessary to point out that the reduction of armaments is essential for the well-being of the world and* that unless some meas ures of relief can be found by in ternational co-operation for the ex cessive taxation due to armaments the general economic situation must become increasingly worse. “The council in extending this in vitation cannot but hope that the government of the United States, particularly in view of the attitude of America toward the question of the competition in armaments, will not refuse to associate itself with the governments of the members of the league in beginning the prelim inary work necessary for ultimata success and to lend to the present effort an assistance which can in no way encroach upon its own per fect liberty of action.” ARGENTINA MAY QUIT LEAGUE ASSEMBLY BUENOS Aires, Dec. 3. (By the Associated Press.) —Rejection by the assembly of the League of Nations of Argentina proposals in favor of the admission of all countries to the league may result in the withdrawal of this country from the organization, it was learned here last night. It was said that a cablegram was ex pected from Honorio Pueyrredon, Argentina foreign minister and chief of the Argentine delegation at Ge neva, notifying the government ot his decision in the matter. Foreign Minister Pueyrredon is un lerstr'-'- 1 to have received instruc tions from his government before leaving for Europe to withdraw from ‘he league if it appeared the assem bly would refuse admission to all sovereign states, and if Argentina’s proposal for the constitution of the council on a basis of equality of representation of all nations, was not adopted. He was empowered to make a decision in accordance with his instructions, and it is known that in view of yesterday’s action by the assembly and the opposition to Argentina’s proposals there, that this government might receive a ca blegram at any moment saying the delegation had withdrawn from the assembly. Reports that France has question ed the legal status of the Argentine delegates at Geneva are denied at the foreign office, where emphasis is placed on the statement that such reports could not be connected with the possible withdrawal of the Ar gentine representatives. Anti-Gambling Drive Results in Arrest Os 8 Poker Players That all gambling has not been halted by the sweeping crusade against "Wire Tappers,” bootleggers, vagrants and other undesirables in Atlanta was shown Thursday night when Lieutenant of Detectives R L Waggoner, Detective Doyal and Police Commissioner Andy King vis ited a room at a local hotel and broke up a game of poker which was in progress thert? at the time. As a result of the visit J. A. Hampton, who gave his occupation as a barber and his residence as the Princeton hotel, was arrested and placed tinder $2,000 bond, and seven men were taken into custody and each held in SSOO bond. The men were surprised in the game by the police and an attempt was made by the players to hide the cards and money, the police say. Several decks of cards, • dice and sandpaper were found in the room under the bed and dresser. The police say they have informa tion to the effect that Hampton is a well known gambler. The sandpaper found in the room has led the police to believe that crooked gambling through the roughing of cards and shaving of edges was used when cer tain victims were lured into the game. train No. 6, en route from Chatta ooga to Cincinnati, were looted before the arrival of the train, which was delayed by an open switch. The lat ter fact led to an early report that the train was held up, but this is de nied. The amount taken from the mail pouches is unknown. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1020. NEW YORK. —Two small burg lars, self-confessed, police say, were taken before Justice Levy in the children’s court this week, to an swer for a series of burglaries in Brooklyn during the last few days. Neither parent nor guardian appear ed for either of the youthful offend ers and the justice refused to per mit them to plead. They were re manded to Society for the Preven tion of Cruelty to Children for ap pearance this morning, after their parents had been notified. The boys, who are said to have admitted a total of eight burglaries, are George Smith, ten years old, and Harry Prendergrast, two years his senior. The former lives at 75A Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, and the lat ter at 627 DeKalb avenue. Quarrel Beads to Arrest It was a dispute over the spoils of their last exploit that led to the downfall of the juvenile pair. Po liceman McCarren, of the 79th Pre cinct, who overheard the argument and made the arrest, says the Smith boy was e pounding the principle unpopular in some labor circles that the emoluments should be distribut ed with regard for the work done by the individual. His small fist clutched the major portion of $7.07, the cash proceeds of their night’s work. “I ain’t either holding out,” the patrolman heard him expostulate; ‘‘didn’t I do most of the work?" “Supposin’ you did," was the re joinder, "ain’t we supposed to split 50-SJ. I want my full share.” Here the patrolman decided to intervene. He took the boys to the Bergen street police station. When the two prisoners stood be fore the desk Lieutenant Shelby looked up with the query. "Whose lost kids are these?’’ When McCar ren told of his suspicions the lieu tenant was at first Inclined to scoff. However, he decided to examine the youngsters. Confesses After Folio* Bus* After an hour of grilling, during which Lieutenant Shelby says the boys remained steadfast in their de nial of crime, the poli'ce resorted to the ruse of telling the younger his companion had confessed. “What do you think of that for luck?’’ young Smith is quoted as saying; "after being out all night and getting almost nothing my pa) has to squeal.” After that, the police assert he ad mitted having robbed a place at 75 Fifth avenue, over which he lives; a fruit store at 67 Fifth avenue, a fruit store at Fourth avenue and Bergen street, two butcher shops near Fifth avenue and Bergen street, a paint store at Bergen street and Flatbush avenue and St. Marks Place. His loot from the various places, the police say, varied from 20 cents to sl7. When arrested the Smith boy was carrying a blackjack, while his com panion was armed with a revolver. Five Lives Are Lost In Apartment Fire; Singer and Actress Die NEW YORK. Dec. 2.—Five lives were lost today in a fire which swept through a Fifty-seventh street apartment house. Flames leaped from cellar to roof through an air shaft, trapping the victims. Police said the dead were Mrs. Bos well Reed, opera singer; Miss Mar jorie Lescomb. actress; Dr. F. M. Potter, Mrs. Jennie Jenkins and one unidentified. Miss Annette Bracy, who discov ered the fire, said she heard a crack ling sound and, opening the door to her suite, found the hall a mass of flame. She hurled a book through a window to let out the smoke, and screamed the alarm. Many of those who escaped had to dash through a sheet of flame. The death list would have been higher had it not been for a door cut through the wall into an adjoining house. A number of per sons, all other exits blocked by fire, escaped by this means.

Hungary Paid Dearly for Her Dip Into Bolshevism; Country IN t asNearly Ruined BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER (Special Cable to the Chicago Daily Sews Foreign Service, by Leased Wire to The Atlanta Journal.) (Copyright, 1920.) PARIS, France, Dec. 2. —In order to escape from the fatal dismember ment looming before the country, and thinking, perhaps, that in con servative Hungary a spell of Bol shevism would be harmless enough, the interim government of Count Michael Karolyi naively turned over the state, in the spring of 1919, to a group of Hungarian Jewish com munists, the chief of whom, Bela Kun, had been trained in Russia, un der Lenin. They armed the proleta riat, disarmed all other people, na tionalized the banks, factories and even the retail stores, imprisoned or executed their political opponents and organized a "terror” on the Russian model. Hungary, of the belligerent states, suffered least during the war. The people still had plenty of food. But under Bolshevism everything went swiftly to pieces. Famine pinched the city populations and the peas ants lapsed into sullen resistance. The war had cost Hungary 8,000,000 crowns a day; the Bolshevists soon ran up expenses to 68,000,000 crowns a day. (The Austro-Hungarian crown is nominally equivalent to 20.3 cents in American money.) The Rumanians, seeking to venge the invasion of their territory by the Germans, Austrians and Hungarians during the war, at tacked the Hungarian communists, defeated the undisciplined “red” army, entered Budapest, overthrew the regime and sacked the whole country. One hundred and thirty two days of communism cost Hun gary 10,000,000,000 crowns, of which the "red guards” received 514,000,- 000, and the “red army’’ 3,307,000,000. Where the present government spends 48,000,000 a month, the soviets spent 144,000,000. Austria Unlike Hungary From a condition of relative afflu ence, Hungary plunged with dizzy ing speed into a condition of utter misery. Without communism, the Rumanian invasion would have been Impossible. What the one began the other finished. Count Karolyi’s inge nuous expedient not only failed to stave off the dismemberment; it com pletely ruined the country. There is not one Hungarian today who does not realize this fact. In consequence Hungary is now, without doubt, the most reactionary country in Europe. Nine-tenths of the people are royal ists. Even the small group of Hun garian socialists have hastily switch ed back out of the third, or Moscow Internationale, into the moderate sec ond, or Amsterdam, Internationale. So strong are the feelings of the Hun garians in the matter that they would ask nothing better than an opportu nity to fight any communists they might happen to find, Russian or oth erwise. Karolyi is hated in Hunga ry almost as much as Bela Kun. Both are now refugees, living in exile. In sharp contrast with Hungary Is Austria, which immediately after the armistice set up a half communistic government which is still nominally In power. But this government has jot now, and has never had, any real authority. Its edicts are simply ig nored. There is a "minister of so cialization,” but nothing much has been “socialized.” In the Vienna re gion, it is true, every industrial plant with more than twenty work men has a shop council, which elects Classified Advertisements WASTED KEX.F—-Mai*. ~ ; WANTED—AbIe-bodied men to prepare as firemen, brakemen, motormcn, conductors , and colored sleeping cur and train porters.

Jugo-Slavia is a peasant denioc racy. Strictly speaking, there ii here no “proletariat.” The peasants who form 8 per cent of the popula tion, are nearly all land owners. I is true that in the recent elections the “communists” are simply govern ment employes—railwaymen, post men, clerks—who seek thus to ex press their resentment against an ad ministration which doe's not pay i living wage. The movement is pro testatory, not revolutionary. Increasi their stipend to a reasonable figuri and their "communism” will vanish The new "peasants’ party,” organ ized by Mika Avramovitch, after th Bulgarian model, is perhaps mor significant, but as the peasants her are not as yet class conscious it ha made little headway. Bulgarian Peasants Bule In Bulgaria, which is also a de mocracy of small land owners, th peasants, exasperated at their d« feat in two wars under the leader ship of a czar and of professions statesmen, have taken things int their own hands, and have forme* a government of their own. withoul however, expelling their flgurehea* of a young new czar. The Russian Soviet leader ha been confident that Bulgaria, in th bitterness of its defeat and ampu tation, would go Communist. A Com munist party© consisting of , poo peasants, poor or discharged govern ment employes, and other malcon tents, was encouraged and subsidized The party felt itself t> be strong but instead of attempting a Cou] d'etat in the prescribed Bolshevis manner it presented itself at th elections last spring, and seated ft>r ty-two deputies in the sobranje, th* national parliament, out of a total o about 210. Such communists, whi consent to sit •as a powerless minor ity in a regular parliament, are Ob viously not very dangerous. It is, as I have said, the peasants party which has the absolute ma jority. This party is initiating i number of rather socialistic experi ments, but the peasants’ pride ii land ownership is so deep that th< principle of .private property in Bui garia may be considered relatively safe.
