i - !
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—The cotton
market had a quiet but steady open
ing with first prices 5 to 11 points
lower. Moderate southern hedge sell
ing supplied the early demand but
support became more active in the
first half hour. Prices recovered the
early losses, October advancing to
24.57 and December to 24.27, repre
senting 2 to 4 points net advance.
The trade. Wall street and New Or
leans bought on the rally. Later on,
however, reflecting private advices
of cooler weather in Texas, the mar
ket again turned <*asier, October
dropping to 24.45 and December to
24.12, or 8 to 10 points under the
previous closing. The average of 14
private condition reports thus far
issued is 61.2 and of the crop 12,-
775,000 bales.
On buying at midday, which fol
lowed reports that a southern firm
had estimated the yield under $12.-
000,000 bales the market rallied
about 15 points from the lowest
levels of the morning. It was report
ed that the early southwestern re
ceipts were being absorbed to cover
large commitments for September
export sailings, estimated at fully
300,000*bales of the Texas crop. Oc
tober contracts at noon were 24.60
and December 24.2!) which repre
sented a net advance at about seven
points.
The early afternoon market was
narrow, but in the absence of hedg
ing pressure, held steady with prices
virtually unchanged from the previ
ous night and 10 to 12 points under
the highest of the day.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.—The
cotton market had a very dull but
steady opening. Liverpool was lower
than due but traders paid little at
tention to that fact, being little dis
posed to trade owing to uncertainty
as to what the government report
will show next Monday. First trades
were one to three points down and
October traded at 23.76 and Decem
ber at -23.87 or seven points down
from the close of yesterday. Prices
rallied to 23.85 for October and 23.95
for December or 1 to 2 points above
the previous close.
The market was a very narrow af
fair all morning and fluctuated with
in a very limited range with long
intervals between trades. The weath
er map was fair for the entire belt
and the official forecast was for con
tinued fair weather. October eased
off to 23.71 and December 23.82 or
12 points below the previous close,
but later prices rallied to 23.89 for
October and 23.99 for December, five
to six points above the previous
close. Fear of a bullish showing by
the government on Monday was the
sustaining factor. The market at
midday was steady and close to the
highs of the morning.

I BY GEORGE ( .SCHNACKEL
i (Special Leased Wire to The Journal—t opy-
< 1 right, 1921.)
j CHICAGO (Thursday), Sept. 4.
! Oats made a bid for leadership in the
i market today. Wheat and corn were
nervous and choppy, and indicated
an overbought condition as a result
i of yesterday's late bulges. Provisions
were lifeless. Oats were stronger
and higher from the start.
The bull factor was the report M iss
Cora E. Hind, crop expert of the Win
nipeg Free Press, in which she told
of frost damage to the oat crop in
the western provinces. The Cana
dian crop is already much reduced
as a result of the prolonged drought
during July and August, and this
1 is expected to decrease the total har
vested.
Hedging sales on the bulge pre
vented any undue congestion.
Exports demand for oats was not so
keen as yesterday. One broker told
of offering oats to the Seaboard with
out obtaining any return bid. An
other had requests for offers, but
oats offered on the basis of yester
day’s selling price were rejected.
Wheat was exceedingly nervous
■and prices changed their trend fre
quently. Offerings on the bulges
quently. Offerings on the bulges were
liberal and slipping orders were called
upon to prevent a material setback in
price. Liverpool failed to enthuse
over yesterday’s advance in North
America, and this caused the open
ing break. There was more or less
hedging on the upturn. Export de
mand was not near as broad as yes
terday, and the bulls attributed this
to the lack of cargo space. Local
export brokers were unable to ob
tain bids from the Seaboard.
Wheat closed 1-2 @ 7-8 lower. Sep
tember 1.23 7-8; December 1.28 7-8 to
-.29; May 1.35 l-4@3-8; July 1.26 1-2.
There was a request for offers of
c. i. f. Montreal wheat but vessel
room for this port is bard to get-
Cash wheat premiums were firm.
Argentine cables told of rains in the
south but they were insufficient to
relieve the drought. Australian crop
advices were favorable and Broom
hall’s agent estimates the surplus of
old wheat remaining for export at
18,000.000 bushels compared with .5 -
000,000 bushels at this time last year.
Oats lost some of the early ad
vance under profit taking sales.
Closing prices were l-8c lower to 5-8 c
higher September 47 3-4; Decem
ber 52 1-4; May 56 1-2.
Corn also acted overbought and
prices were subjected to erratic fluc
tuation. The trade was little more
bearish in its views because of the
rising temperature over most of the
corn territory. Most of the selling
was by longs. Forecasts for cooler
weather over many of the surplus
states caused some buying on the
break. Country offerings to arrive
were more liberal but the corn was
held at prices over buyers’ views.
Corn closed l-B@3-8c lower. Sep
tember 1.19; December 1.13 3-8; May
1.14 3-4@7-8; July 1.15 1--4.
Provisions eased off in sympathy
with corn early. Packers bought on
the break, causing some recovery.
Lard closed 2 1-2 to 5c lower; ribs
unchanged to 2 l-2c lower. No trade
in bellies.
Local cash sales were 470,006
bushels wheat, 105.000 bushels corn;
228,000 bushels oats and 10.000 bar
ley. The seaboard reported 500,000
bushels wheat and 350,000 rye work
ed for export.
A local house had an inquiry from
Tunis. North Africa, asking for of
fers for both wheat and corn.

GLOBE FLIGHT Mffi
ID ■[ HIGH
TO AIBPLUIE NEEDS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire tn The Journal -Copy
right, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—What
is the purpose of the world-encir
cling flight of the American ■avia
tors? Is it simply a stunt to prove
the courage of the American flying
ccrps? Is it a challenge to the avia
tion personnel of other countries?
These questions no doubt have oc
curred to many people as they have
observed the progress of the trip
around the world and the careful
preparations made by the army and
navy to accomplish their objective.
The answers are to be found in the
experience of aviation officials in
both the army and navy with con
gress. For no matter what spectacu
lar phases of the flight may be up
permost in the public mind today,
those interested in developing Amer
ican aviation as a military weapon
as well as a commercial industry are
gratified beyond words at the
amount of attention the exploit has
attracted.
Hitherto congress has been more
or less indifferent to the pleas fpr
extensive appropriations made by
the army and navy. It is true that
congress has granted appropriations
more or less generously, reckoning
it from the congressional viewpoint,
which insists on cutting down the
army and navy anyhow. But avia
tion officers have pointed in vain
to the large sums appropriated by
Great Britain and France for the
development of aviation. It has been
contended by army officers, for in
stance, that European countries
since the war have spent more
money on aviation than anything
else.
Congress Holds Back
In America the fact that a billion
was not ready when the armistice
was not ready ..'hen th earmistice
was signed has tended to discourage
congress in expending more money.
The aircraft devotees have had a
hard time of it since the war. They
hoped that the air mail service
would stir up interest and make
congress appropriate money to en
courage commercial aviation. To
some extent results have been ob
tained. Many aircraft concerns went
out of business with the war and
have not been missed because some
of them never became efficient.
But unless the government kept on
buying a certain number of planes
annually there was no incentive for
private industry to keep on experi
menting or building. The industry
was in danger of absolute collapse.
It is by no means at this time what
army officers would like to see, but
they have hopes that the world flight
will put an emphasis on aviation
which will keep it before the eyes of
the American people and congress
in particular.
Then there is another aspect of
the world flight which will become
a subject of discussion when con
gress reconvenes. The American avi
ation units have proved that with a
relatively small sum of money they
can accomplish a great deal. The
whole trip round the world was a
minor expense as military items go.
Want I’. S. to Lead
Given more money, they feel that
they can justify’ t*he appropriations
made, and that America should not
only keep pace, with the rest of
the aircraft building countries, but
should lead them.
When the Washington conference
to limit armament was held there
was no agreement on the construc
tion of submarines or aircraft nor
on the size of standing armies. Bat
tleships and other fighting craft
were limited. But since that time
France and Great Britain have been
engaging in an air competition which
has started a good deal of war talk
from time to time. From the view
point of national defense, it now has I
been demonstrated that a hostile na
tion can come across t he ocean with |
airplanes and Zeppelins. Without ’
doubt a program of defensive air
craft will be an important part of
the military and naval expenditures
of the United States from now on.
The world flight has shown that the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans no long
er are insurmountable barriers, and
that isolation is not as comfortable
as it was before the days of dirigibles
and airplanes.

I y Y lidward (Pop) Geers, 73 years
old, veteran reinsman, has
driven his last race.
Today the body of the dean of
light harness drivers who was fatal
ly injured yesterday tThen his mare,
Miladi Guy, stumbled and fell while
rounding a turn in a race at the
West Y’irginia state fair, was on ’ts

There, at Columbia, burial will be
made alongside the graves of his

“Pot)" as the aged driver was af
fectionately known to American turf

race would be his last. lie had said
the same thing for the last severa’

meant it.
“I’m just giving the old game one
more whirl, boys; and then it’s back

track officials prior to the race.
Geers Day at Fair
It was “Pop’s” last race and his
final appearance was just such as
he might have wished. It was “Geers
day” at the fair and 30,000 persons
had turned out to see the doughty
horseman in what he announced
would be an attempt to lower the
world’s mile record for half-mile
tracks behind his fast trotter, Peter
Manning. But the exhibition was
never run.
Just prior to the exhibition race,
Geers entered the 2:14 trot witli Mi
ladi Guy. It was while running a
turn that the horse stumbled, the
sulky overturned and Geers was
hurled to the ground. The noise of
the cheering stands and the thud of
the flying hoofs were the last he
heard. In the fall he suffered a
fractured skull and lost conscious
ness. He died several hours late:
at a local hospital.
He is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. Wallace Cunningham and Mrs.
Alfred D. Taylor, both of Memphis,
and a step-daughter, Mrs. E. C. Mc-
Cown, of Pittsburg.

Mrs. Wallace Cunningham, with
whom he had lived for a number
of years. The body will arrive Fri
day morning and the funeral prob
ably will occur Friday afternoon.
Interment will he in the cemetery
at Columbia, Tenn.
“Pop” Geers had lived here for
twenty years. lie was known to
thousands of people in this section,
who shared with him the joy of the
victories he won on tlie track.
When the news of his death was
received late yesterday, a shadow
was cast over the local sport world.
Everywhere that men gathered could
be heard expressions of sorrow at his
passing. But this sorrow was not
confined to the ranks of sportsmen
who admired Geers for his sports
manship; it extended to every walk
of life, and the death of the aged
turfman was. viewed more or less as
a public calamity.
Gave Others Happiness
“Poi>” Geers was noted for bis
philanthropy and his kindness. His
close friends are authority for the
statement that he spent a good por
tion of his earnings in helping oth
ers, donating to various charities
and providing for destitute families
and individuals. In many instances,
the beneficiaries of his generosity
and kindness never knew the name
of the benefactor who aided them.
Geer’s record of more than fifty
years on the race track is known
to every follower of the great Amer
ican sport, lie won victories and
he tasted defeat. In his time he
drove some of the world's most fa
mous horses. His affection for
horses and his steadfast devotion to
racing, together with his well-known
record for clean sportsmanship,
made him one of the picturesque fig
ures of turfdom.
Sumter Health Board
Makes Good Record
AMERICUS, Ga., Sept. s.—Dr. J.
W. Payne, in a report just submit
ted to the board of county commis
sioners showing activities conducted
by the health department of Sumter
county during the past nine months,
revealed a saving to residents here
amounting to $7,927. This saving
was effected through the examina
tion of school children immunization
against typhoid fever, the adminis
trative of curative anti-toxin, anti
smallpox vaccinations and anti-rabic
treatments supplied through the
public health service. The cost of
the department for maintenance,
salary, etc., during the entire year
will be approximately $5,000.
The board of health here is com
posed of N. A. Ray, Dr. J. W. Cham
bliss and E. AV. Dupree. Under their
administration it is declared malaria
has been decreased in Sumter coun
ty by 50 to 75 per cent; typhoid
fever lias been practically eliminat
ed, and there now exists not a single
case of infectious or contagious dis
ease of any kind within the county.

FEMG GILLOWS,
LEOPOLD, JR., WILLS
BIBOS TO MUSEUM
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—The last will
and testament of Nathan F. Leopold,
Jr., joint confessor with Richard
Loeb to the kidnaping and murder
of Bobbie Franks, lias become public.
That Leopold contemplates the
possibility of receiving a death sen
tence at the hands of Judge Caverly,
who now has the murder case under
consideration, is evidenced by a let
ter he has mailed to Clarence S. Dar
row, counsel for the Leopold defense.
The letter, which is seven pages
long, gives to the Field , museum
first choice of any five objects in
Leopold’s ornithological collection.
Next choice is given to a cousin
of Leopold, who may choose any
three articles after the Field muse
um has made its selection.
Third, the museum is given its
choice of any birds, minerals or
transcripts in the possession of Leo
pold or his family belonging to the
| confessed slayer.
Grateful for Argument
In the letter Leopold asks Darrow
to notify the beneficiaries as soon as
possible—and before his execution.
The letter also thanked Darrow for
his closing arguments. Leopold
wrote that he had been content to
die before he heard the plea, but aft
er hearing it he wanted to live.
The last will was scratched out
under a county jail arc light on pa-,
per stipulated by tho jailer.
Leopold also has completed h‘S
plans for attempts to pierce the
veil shrouding death, if he is hanged.
Although h e is an admitted atheist,
he says he will not cast out any
suggestion of the possibility of an
after life until he has had an op
portunity to demonstrate its in
validity. So he has prepared a se
ries of ten questions which he plans
to attempt to answer by communi
cating with friends on earth, should
he die on the gallows.
His Ten Questions
The questions, which may be al
tered before being locked in a vault,
to be removed only after his death,
follow:
“Are the experiences of human
life carried into the hereafter?
“Is the intellectual or the spir-
I itual the dominant note after death?
“Is the absence of the physical
being an advantage of a detriment
to such intellectual or spiritual hap
piness?
“Is the hereafter dimensional as
on earth or is there complete om
niscience?
“Does one retain reactions to sen
sations registered on the mind
previous to death?
“Is life on earth a necessary
precedent to life hereafter? If so,
how long a life?
“If the intellectual is dominant in
the hereafter, is earthly knowledge
adequate or insufficient to its en
joyment?
“Is life on earth a correct bal
ance of rewards and penalties or is
there a higher judgment?
“If life hereafter is spiritual are
the cultural experiences on earth
necessary? What of the savage
mind?
“What is happiness?”
Soon after arrest and confession,
Leopold told of his disbelief in a
hereafter but that he proposed to
attempt, to solve the mystery after
death. This plan is keeping his mind
occupied as he awaits Judge Cav
erly’s sentence.
Leopold plans to make a speech
if he is sent to the gallows.
“And I will say something that
will make the world listen,” adds
the student-murderer.
Loeb, who has no such philosophy,
admits lie has no liking for a life
in prison,
’When I think of the long life
down there, 1 sometimes feel that
it would be better to get it all over
with now,” he said.

MELLON PBBISES I!
0.0. P. METHOD OF
HIDING EOBOPEffi
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—Baek at
his desk after his vacation in Eu
rope, Secretary Mellon today declar
ed acceptance of the ,Dawes repa
ration settlement had demonstrated
beyond a doubt that the United
States can exert its greatest influ
ence in untangling Europe's prob
lems by acting in an unofficial ca
pacity.
This country is in a better posi
tion to wield its power for world
good when acting as a friend and
adviser, he said, than it would be
if connected officially with the
League of Nations.
He asserted that the Dawes plan,
brought about through American
suggestion, had placed Europe on
the road to prosperity and that its
effects already are apparent.
“There is a high regard for Amer
ica’s service in this case,” said the
treasury secretary. “Most of Eu- ]
rope recognizes the part played by j
the United States in bringing a I
sound basis out of what has hith- I
erto been a very troublesome situ- !
ation.”
Mr. Mellon declared it would be '
difficult to estimate the full benefit ■
which not only Europe but the |
whole world will derive from the
steps taken toward an economic I
peace. The keystone of this resto- I
ration of an economic stability is
the evacuation of the Ruhr, he said.
He expects little trouble in financ
ing the loan which Germany is
about to float.
The secretary already has noted
some of the beneficial effects which
he expected from acceptance of the
Dawes settlement. Exporters in the
United States have begun the quest I
of German business, he said, adding
that plenty of credit would be avail
able.
Investors are believed by the sec
retary to be willing to go as far as
is necessary in taking German pa
per, in the belief that all indications
point to an early return of pros- i

Regarding suggestions that flood*
of German goods may damage the
markets of other nations, Mr. Mel
lon said that undoubtedly much
more of German merchandise would
be seen in all foreign countries than
has been the case since the war, but
he suggested that when Germany
sells manufactured goods it must
buy raw materials. This process,
he predicted, will bring added busi
ness to America.
