NEW YORK, Dec. 15. —Yesterday’s sharp
rallies were followed by moderate reactions
at the opening of the cotton market to
day. Liverpool was not up to expectations
and first prices here showed declines of
10 to 25 points under Liverpool, southern
1 and western selling. Trade interests were
fair buyers at the decline, however, while
there was local covering, and prices soon
steadied up with January selling at 15.48
and March at 15.21, or about 10 to 11 points
above yesterday’s final. The census report
which showed domestic mill consumption of
only 332,057 bales for November appeared
I to have been discounted.
I Liverpool turned a buyer after the open
k Ing while there was a continued trade de
ft tnand with scattering support encouraged
ft by reports of a better tone in Wall street
■ and firmer foreign exchange. January sold
M up to 15.62 and March to 15.70, or 25 to
r 30 points above last night’s closing figures
F and 80 to 90 points above the low levels of
yesterday morning. There was very little
southern selling early, but offerings from
that source increased on the bulge and the
midday market showed reactions of a few
points from the best.
Trading was comparatively quiet during
the earlv afternoon and the market showed
little further feature, ruling around 15.35
for January and 15.41 for March or close
to las flight's closing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEfr”bRLEANS, Dec. 15.—The dispo
sition of shorts to cover and the bulge in
New York yesterday sent the price of cot
ton to higher levels today in the face of
bearish November mill statistics. In the
first halt hour of business prices advanced
48 to 52 points, January rising to 14.72.
American consumption during Novembeer of
only 332,057 bales was regarded as be
ing in keeping with poor trade accounts that
have been coming from textile centers.
Better accounts from interior spot mar
ket, especially those in Texas, increased the
demand for contracts and in the trading up
to 11 o’clock prices were sent 57 to 65 points
higher tian the close of yesterday. Jan
narv sola as high as 14.87. Houston claimed
• better inquiry, with sales ranging from
the lowest to the highest grades. <
'Early buyers commenced to realize prof- (
its after midsession and the market did
not take their offerings well at all. At
the trading np to 1:30 o’clock prices were
reduced 25 * to 30 points from the highest
levels by this sort of selling.

Hubbard Bros.: "We feel that although

far more advisable to buy small quantities
on severe set-backs and average down, than
it is to sell believing in another drastic de

around this figure.”

VALUE OF CROPS
ESTIMATED AT
$9,148,519,000
WASHINGTON. Dec. 15.—The to
tal value of all important crops
raised this year in the United States
was $9,148,519,000, the crop estimate
bureau of the agriculture depart
ment announced Tuesday in an official
statement. This computation was
based on prices paid farmers on De
cember 1.
Compared with 1919 this is a de
crease of $4,939,476,000. The total
value of important crops in 1919 was
$14,087,995,000.
The area of all important crops
was given at 351,062,409 acres, com
pared with 356,162,122 acres in 1919.
The 1920 value of some of the im
portant crops described by the bu
reau follows:
Corn, $2,189,721,000; winter wheat,
$866,741,000; spring wheat, $273,465.-
000; all wheat, $1,140,206,000; white
potatoes, $500,974,000; sweet pota
toes, $126,629,000; oats, $719,782,000;
barley, $142,931,000; rye, $88,609,-
000; rice, $63,837,000; cotton, $014,-
590,000; sugar beets, $99,396,000; ap
ples, $271,984,000; tobacco, $298,-
001,000.
“The extraordinary character of the
harvests, which have proven to be
among the most abundant in the
country’s history, notwithstanding
beginnings about as unpromising as
ever known, is emphasized by the
December revisions os estimates.”
the department said in a statement
commenting on today’s report. “The
final outcome of the 1920 wheat
harvest, winter and spring combined,
is now estimated at 789,878,000 bush
els, compared with 934,265,000 bush
els in 1919, this being an increase
over the earlier estimates for 1920
of 39,230,000 bushels. The 1920 acre
age abandoned from winter killing
was less than was expected and in
dicated by the very bad and unprom
ising conditions on May 1 ad the in
creasingly favorable character of the
later season permitted much wheat,
then considered hopeless, to develop
and come to harvest.
Production of the important crops was
given as follows:
Corn, 3,232,367,000 bushels in 1920; 2,858,-
509,000 in 1919,
White potatoes, 430,458,000 bushels in
1920; 357,542.000 in 1919.
Apples, 240,646,000 bushels in 1920, and
153,238,000 in 1919.
Sugar beets, 8,545,000 tons in 1920, and
6,421,478 tons in 1919.
Oats. 1,524,055,009 bushels in 1920, and
1,231,754,000 in 1919.
Barley, 202,024,000 bushels in 1920, and
161,345,000 in 1919.
Rice, 53,710,000 bushels in 1920, and 42,-
790,000 bushels in 1919.
Rye, 69,318,000 bushels in 1920, and 88,-
909,000 bushels in 1919.
Hay, 108,233,000 tons in 1920, and 109,-
152.000 tons in 1919.
Tobacco, 1,508,064.000 pounds in 1920 and
I, in 1919.
Cotton, 12.987,000 bales in 1920, and 11,-

GREATEST NAVY IN
WORLD FOR U. S. IS
ASKED BY DANIELS
(Continud from Page 1)
mates, under the resolution.
The committee is virtually unani
mous against the suggestion of Mr.
Daniels, who appeared before it to
day to outline the reason for his re
quest for a construction program call
ing for 88 ships.
The prevailing opinion of the ma
jority qf the members of the house
and virtually all the members of the
naval affairs committee is that the
United States should do nothing
more than carry .forward the great
naval construction program of 1916
the largest ever authorized by any
nation at oiie time, Representative
Butler, Pennsylvania, chairman of the
committee, said.
The 1916 program, according to Mr.
Butler and other committeemen, upon
its completion, which probably will
be by January 1, 1924, will make the
United States the greatest naval
power in the world, even allowing
for some uncontemplated additional
construction by Great Britain.
Briten’s Figures
“The completion of the present
building program will give the Unit
ed States a supremacy of 31 per cent
over Great Britain in first line fight
ing ships—dreadnaughts and battle
cruisers,” said Representative Brit
ten, Illinois, a member bf the com
mittee. “Our first line tonnage then
will be 1,118,000 tons, as compared
with 987,000 tons of Great Britain.
No other nation would be anywhere
near us, as Japan’s navy now is less
than one-third of ours, and she can
complete no huge building program
that would endanger American su
premacy withiD the next few years.
Mr. Butler pointed out that most
of the 16 big battleships of the 1916
program have not been completed,
because of the war policy’ of building
smaller craft and that their comple
tion will require large appropriations,
without touching an additional pro
gram, as recommended by Secretary
Daniels.
Mr. Butler and other members of
the committee also believe that the
United States should not authorize
an additional program until it is defi
nitely determined whether this nation
is to enter some kind of an inter
national association or will agree
with other leading naval powers,
particularly Great Britain and Japan,
on a disarmament policy.
ATLANTA EXPERTS
SEVERELY GRILLED
ON WITNESS STAND
(Continued from Page 1)
Judge John P. Ross for the defense,
Dr. Everhart declared that he found
traces of morphine In the Shepard
viscera, but answered in the nega
tive’ when asked if a sufficient quan
tity had been present to cause death.
Judge Ross’ questions tended to
indicate that the defense will attempt
to show that Shepard died as the
result of bichloride of mercury poi
soning, the bichloride being formed
in his intestines by the chbmlcal ac
tion of his body on calomel. Judge
Ross directed his questions to show
that calomel when exposed to sun
light turns into corrosive sublimate.
Dr. Everhart agreed that (his chem
cal change would occur. He de
scribed in detail the chemical expe
riments he made in discovering the
bichloride of mercury in Shepard’s
vital organs.
As to Potash in Liquor
That Shepard might have died from
potash in blind tiger liquor was sug
gested by defendants’ counsel dur
ing the examination of Dr. Everhart,
who testified that he had certain
friends engaged in the consumption
of “moonshine,” and that on their
request he had made chemical tests
of samples of liquor to detect the
presence of potash. He declared he
had never found potash in liquor
examined.
Mrs. Alice Crandall, of Fort Val
ley, sister of Shepard, agreed to pay
for the chemical analysis of Shep
ard’s viscera, declared the witness,
in answer to queries by the defense.
It was also brought out by the
defense that denatured alcohol con
tains bichloride of mercury in the
proportion of one part of the poison
to two thousand parts of grain alco
hol. One pint of denatured alcohol
contains about four grains of bi
chloride of mercury, said Dr. Ever
hart, who was excused after having
been on the stand almost two hours.
Dr. John Funke, of Atlanta, a path
ologist, who made a pathological
analysis of the Shepard viscera, was
the next witness. He is now profes
sor of pathology at Emory university,
in Atlanta. Dr. Funke described the
second exhumation of Shepard’s body
and the analysis of the internal or
gans, declaring that they were in a
good state of preservation. The
pathologist was one of the principal
witnesses at the coroner’s inquest at
Fort Valley. He repeated that testi
mony today, declaring that the inner
surface of the alimentary canal tak
en from Shepard’s body was terrifly
inflammed and corroded.
Experts to Testify
Expert testimony from physicians
Who attended Mr. Shepard in his last
illness and from chemists and path
ologists who made analysis of his
viscera after the exhumation of his
body November 17, was expected to
constitute the bulk of the evidence
introduced today. It has been indi
cated by the solicitor general that
after this evidence has been con
cluded, and the corpus delicti estab
lished, he will open up with a series
of witnesses, whose testimony is
intended to disclose th© basis on
which the state hopes to secure con
viction of the four defendants now
in custody. The defendants are Mrs.
F. E. Elmer, former wife of the
deceased; her sister, Mrs. loma
Henry, of Perry; her son by her first
marriage, Ernest Hopson, of Perry,
and Mrs. Annie Cutts, of Fitzgerald.
It was expected that the testi
mony of the experts and physicians
attending Mr. Shepard will consume
the entire day, and tomorrow the
solicitor general plans to reveal the
sensational part of the state’s case,
putting up several witnesses who
are expected to testify as to an al
leged conspiracy between the four
defendants to “get rid of” Shepard
and thus come into possession of
his personal estate of about $300,-
000 and his one-third interest in his
father’s estate of approximately
three million dollars.
Sensational Testimony Promised
Mrs. Alice Crandall, of Fort Val
ley, sister of Fred D. Shepard, will/
be called as a witness, says the so
licitor general, to testify as to cer
tain statements made to her by Mrs.
Annie Cutts, which resulted in the
inauguration of the investigation of
Shepard’s death and the exhumation
of his body for analysis by chem
ists and pathologists.
Mrs. Crandall will swear, accord
ing to the solocitor general, that!
Mrs. Cutts, after Shepard’s death,
told her of an alleged conspiracy
between the present Mrs. Elmer,
Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hopson, to
kill Shepard for his property. The
statements said to have been made
by Mrs. Cutts were reported to the
solicitor general, who. after an in
vestigation. ordered the exhumation
of Shepard’s body.
. Dr. John Funke,’ of Atlanta, a dis
tinguished pathologist and Dr
Edgar Everhardt. of the state board
of health, a chemist, made analysis
of the viscera, testifying before the
coroners’ jury that they found
traces of bichloride of mercury. D r
Funke and Dr. Everhardt will be
among the principal witnesses to
day.
At Tuesday’s session of the hear
ing there were evidences that Mrs.
Cutts and the other three defendants
are not altogether in harmony in the
conduct of their case. While Mrs.
Elmer, Mrs. Henry and Ernest Hop
son sat in a group at the lawyers’
table, Mrs. Cutts sat several 'yards
away near the railing which en
closes the bar. It was noticeable
that she had no converse with the
other three defendants, who carried
on a spirited conversation among
themselves throughout the hearing.
There are persistent rumors that
Mrs. Cutts feels that she has been
“double-crossed” in the case bv the
other defendants. She has made no
statement to this effect, and her at
torney, Robert L. Berner, has said
nothing that would indicate the ex
istence of such a feeling. Neverthe
less, the rumor continues to gain
credence, and the actions of the de
fendants in the court room are
watched closely by the spectators.
Other Witnesses
Mrs. Crandall is expected to be fol
lowed on the witness stand by Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Turner, of Abbeville;
their son, John Turner, and J. J.
Peterson, who. with the Turners, was
employed on Mrs. Cutts’ farm n<ga.r
Abbeville, for several months prior to
Shepard’s death. It is declared by
Solicitor General Garrett that these
witnesses will testify as to state
ments made to them prior to and aft
er Shepard’s death, tending to indi
cate the existence of a consniracy
against the peach grower, and cor
roborating Mrs. Carndall’s testimony
as to Mrs. Cutts* statement-to her.
It is now apparent that the hear-
ing will, in all probability, continue
practically all the rest of the week.
If the state’s witnesses take two
days, the defense is expected to take
at least one day to present evidence,
while arguments by counsel on both
sides will take another day, it is
anticipated.
Intricate Legal Battle
The legal battle staged in the
courtroom yesterday was one of the
most intricate, technical and com
plicated pieces of litigation ever
witnessed in this section of the
state. The lawyers manoeuvered
for strategic positions, and argu
ments constituted the entire program
for the day. At times, the ex
changes between counsel grew heat
ed and Judge Mathews was obliged
to call them bac kto the main points
at issue.
The line of battle was drawn at
the outset when the state, in re
sponding to the defendants’ applica
tions for bail, indicated its inten
tion to introduce most of its evi
dence in the form of affidavits,
using only a few witnesses in per
son. To this mode of procedure,
the defense strenuously objected, in
sisting that under the law, the de
fendants had the right to demand
that they be confronted with their
accusers.
Extended arguments were made
on both sides, and laAe in the after
noon Judge Mathews ruled that the
state must use oral testimony rath
er than affidavits. Then Solicitor
General Garrett announced that he
was not ready to proceed with the
hearing, as his case was predicated
upon affidavits, with only a few
witnesses present in person. Judge
Mathews then expressed his Inten
tion to call a special session of the
Houston county grand jury for Mon
day of next week, for the purpose of
investigating the evidence against
the four defendants. He said thaj:
if this were done and the defendants
were indicted, applications for bail
would then be in order. If there
should be no indictments, the case
of course, would be terminated.
Agreement Is Surprising Climax
At. this point General A.
Harris, chief counsel for Mrs. Elmer,
arose and insisted that his client be
granted an immediate hearing on
her application for bail. Judge John
P. Ross, attorney for Mrs. Henry
and Ernest Hopson, had just con
cluded an impassioned appeal that
his clients be admitted to bail, hav
ing been preceded in this request by
Attorney Robert L. Berner, making
application for bond op behalf of
Mrs. Gutts. General Harris announc
ed that his client would waive the
right to insist on oral testimony and
was willing to proceed on the basis
of the affidavits which Solicitor Gen
eral Garrett had collected.
Another proposition was advanced
by the defense to the effect that
Judge Mathews should privately ex
amine the solicitor general’s affida
vits and determine whether or n-ot
the defendants should be admitted to
bond. To this proposal the state vio
lently objected.
Then, just as Judge Mathews was
about to adjourn court until Wed
nesday morning to proceed with the
case of Mrs. Elmerf came the an
nouncement of the agreement of
counsel that the state should sum
mon its witnesses and go forward
with the hearing on Wednesday
morning, taking up all four cases
and presenting oral testimony instead
of affidavits.
It was a sensational ending to a
nay filled with sensations.
To Recommend Crops
Farmers Should Grow
In Place of Cotton
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 15.—Lead
ers of the cotton acreage reduction
movement Tuesday called a meeting
to be held in Memphis December 18,
to choose crops to be grown in place
of cotton. Governors and representa
tives of local acreage reduction
bodies from states of the central
south will attend.
It is practically assured that at
the December 18 conference farmers
will be asked to grow more corn,
hay and small grains on land they do
not plant in cotton.
The Shelby County Retail Mer
chants’ association is perhaps the
first mercantile body in the south to
indorse the cotton acreage reduction
plan adopted at the south-wide con
ference here last week.
At a meeting Monday night its
members pledged themselves not to
extend credit to farmers who will not
cut cotton acreage.
Southerners Detained
By Turks Released
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Informa
tion was received ■by the Near East
relief here today that ten of the
eighteen men and women workers
who had been detained by Turkish
Nationalists in Samsun, Vilayet, of
Trebizond, Asia Minor, since Novem
ber 6, had been released and reached
Constantinople.
They include Miss Margaret Farns
worth, Muscle Shoals, Ala. The oth
ers who were still held, included Col
onel James P. Coombs, of Apalachi
cola, Fla., director of the Near East
relief for the Constantinople area.
Smashes Window to
Kiss Wax Figure
COATESVILLE, Pa.—The beauti
ful figure of a girl with an alluring
smile on her lips attracted Louis
Katraly as he was passing a shop
window in Philadelphia.
Katraly beckoned to her to come
out and join him and when she failed
to move he smashed the plate glass
window and grabbed her around the
waist. As he was about to kiss the
wax lips a policeman grabbed him.
Rats on Liner Turn “Reds”
And Rout Army of Cats
NEW ’YORK.—An army of rats on
board the former army transport Le
viathan, the biggest ship in the
world, has turned Bolshevik and no'
longer submits to the authority or
supposedly superior power of its erst
while masters. The vessel is popu
lated with hundreds of large-sized
rats. Fumigation failed to drive the
rodents away. Then an army of cats
was turned loose. They made some
headway at first, but then the rats
turned “Reds” and now have the
upper hand.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1920.
BOARD BLAMED FOR
LOWERING MORALE
OF ATLANTA FORCE
(Continud from Page 1)
no further than to say that he sim
ply differed with the board on thes*
policies. It was his view, however,
that the board’s policy in cases of
drunkenness encouraged drinking on
the force, and lowered the respect
of the community for the police.
“I know a lot of men on the foroe,”
he said. “Some of them are tlio
finest kind. They feel such things
very keenly. They look upon the
board’s policies as a reflection on
them. They want things done prop
erly. In consequence, many of the
best men feel like getting out.’’
Mr. Little was questioned about
different members of the board. He
was asked to name those who had
stood with him for strict discipline.
He said Attorney Aldine Chambers
was one, but he didn’t want to men
tion any names, not even Mr. Cham
bers, because it mifeht be a reflec
tion on others he forgot to mention.
Majority of Men Honest
Another policy of the board Mr.
Little condemned was its custom of
allowing menrio take long leaves of
absence so they could try other jobs,
and then if they failed, taking tnem
back on the force. In this connec
tion he was asked about Detective
Bass Rosser, Chairman Harvey
Hatcher intimated that Rosser was
dropped from the force while on
leave of absence because he got
evidence against a brother officer.
Mr. Little said he did'not know
about this, but he rather thought
Rosser quit. He said Rosser was not
in harmony with Chief Poole or
Chief Beavers. That he had been,
insubordinate, and so.metimes refused
to work with other ofifeers.
Speaking of the police.board meet
ing, Mr.'Little said he was so dis
gusted sometimes that he didn’t feel
like tryin- to do anything. In an
swer to questions by Mr. ’ Hatcher,
Mr. Little gave his general opinion
of the police force. As a rule, he
said, policemen haven't had much
educational advantages, and they are :
not men of unusual ability, but, he
declared, the great majority are hon
est. Bribes are offered officers, not
occasionally, but frequently, he said.
He had seen bribes offered, he de
clared, but he never knew an officer
to take one. Detective Howell he
had always known as an honest, ef
ficient officer, he said. Asked which
he would believe, Detective Shaw.
I or R. M. Striplin, he said he didn’t
know Mr. Striplin very well, but he
would believe Shaw any time.
RecnUs Shaw Conversation
He recalled a conversation he had
a year ago with Lieutenant Shaw
when Shaw predicted the Lakewood
showmen would frame up on him.
Chief Beavers asked Mr. Little what
he would think of a man who made
the general statement thatrthe police
force is rotten and crooked. Mr. Lit
tle replied that such a man would ei
ther be crazy or ignorant of what
he was talking about.
“The police are like city council,
or any other body,” said Mr. Little.
“There are some good men and some
not so good. I like the police depart
ment. I like Chief JPbole and Chief
Beavers, but I think the morale of
the force could be improved if the
two chiefs had a free hand in hir
ing and firing. When a board func
tions properly, it is a great help, but
when it doesn’t, it’s a hindrance.”
Mr. Little was asked his opinion
of the case of /Detective Lon Terry.
He said he didn’t think Terry should
have been employed when it was stat
ed in his application that he had
been found guilty of having liquor.
On the evidence against Terry
brought before the police board,how
ever, Mr. Little said he would not
have voted to discharge him. He ex
pressed the opinion that as a mat
ter of public sentiment it might be
a good idea to get rid of Terry if it
could tie done without discredit to the
office r.

Bandits Lock Victims
In Icebox and Then
Shoot Through It
NEW YORK —William Hempel, a
grocer, at Creed avenue and Heiyip
stead road, Queens Village, was
closing his store after the Saturday
night rush. Frank Ruoff, a butcher,
whose shop joins Hempel’s store,
was sitting in the rear of the Hwn
pel establishment, and already had
called it a day. W. L. Van Wart,
proprietor of a drygoods store near
by, had put out the lights and was
paying a friendly visit.
Four young men, well dressed and
each armed with a revolver, enter
ed, and commanded the merchants
to hoist their hands. The merchants
obeyed 1 and were locked in the ice
box. After awhile two shots were
fired through the ice box, but the
men, lying prone on the floor, were
unhurt.
After waiting several minutes the
merchants peered out. They found
the robbers had fled.
From Hempel’s cash register the
bandits took about SIOO, but they
overlooked S3OO of Ruoff's money,
concealed in an envelope. Van Wart
carried S6OO in an inside pocket, and
he still has it. The robbers made no
attempt to search their prisoners.
Van Wart’s jewelry also was un
touched.
The police found no trace of the
robbers.
