COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 29.—The cotton
market opened steady today at a
decline to 2 to 10 points, with active
months soon showing net losses of
22 to 25 points under realizing or
selling for a reaction which wtis en
couraged by easy Liverpool cables
and a favorable interpretation of the
weekly weather report. The latter
stated tnat in many places frosts
had been more beneficial that harm
ful to the crop and that the weather
had been favorable for picking.
After selling off to 23.28 for Jan
uary, however, the market steadied
on a renewal of trade buying or cov
ering and ruling within 8 or 9 points
of yesterday's closing at the end of
the first hour.
Early sellers became buyers as
prices worked from the early de
clines. The advance extended to
23.76 for January, with the general
list showing net advances of about
20 to 23 points. The comparative
absence of hedge selling reported
combined with trade buying and bull
ish eastern belt crop advices, were
factors but the trading tapered off
at the higher price and the mid-day
market showed reactions of 10 or 15
points from the best figures.
The midafternoon market was
quiet. Prices held steady with Jan
uary ruling around 23.61, or 6 to 8
points net higher at 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.—The
cotton market opened steady despite
a lower Liverpool than due. As the
weekly government weather and
crop report claimed that the crop
had nbt been damaged by the gen
eral heavy to killing frost in the 1
northern portion of the belt, the
market eased off right after the ,
call until December traded down to
23.23, January to 23.20, and March
Ao 23.43, or 17 to 20 points lower;
compared with yesterday’s close. .
The market soon rallied, however,
on good support, prices recovering to
within 4 to 5 points of the opening
figures.
The market turned easier during
the afternoon on realizing and the
selling of December hereby New
York and spot interests. The easier
tone was also helped by a reported
lower basis of spots in the south
west and a falling off in the demand
for exports. Prices declined about
28 to 30 points from the highs of the
morning. Most all the trading was
in near months, but little interest (
being shown in the months beyond;
January. The exports for the day t
totalled 34.263 bales.

l iThe wheat market Io day was in
need of support. Jt was not a weak
p one, but prices simply were unable
_ :to maintain themselves at advanced
i levels. Corn bulls were aggrssive,
but the dragging wheat market
’ j proved a handicap against their ef
''forts. Oats were affected by the ac
tion of corn. Provisions were sharp
’ ily higher.
’ j The trend of wheat prices early
, was lower, but the market showed a
; tendency to fight back on the de-
L cline. Important trading was miss
-1 ! mg-
, The weakness in Liverpool and
•[Buenos Aires caused some pressure
lat the opening, but the decline no
ticed at that time was smaller than
(looked for, and this caused some
shorts to cover. A rally followed,
and then the market encountered
heavy selling for eastern account.
The price broke sharply under this
pressure, and locals were influenced
jto take the short side.
| Around $1.40 3-4 for December
(there was good buying by houses
with export connections, and this
had a stabilizing effect. Seaboard
advices indicated that no great vol
ume of business was worked for ex
port overnight. This was due partly
to the distraction of English buyers
because of its being election day.
Export brokers in the local mar
ket said that they were unable to
draw a bid from the seaboard. Do
mestic demand for wheat shows a
slight improvement, but the volume
of business is still disappointing.
The movement of wheat showed lit
tle reduction and the pressure of
cash wheat is felt in all primary
centers.
Corn bulls were not lacking in
confidence as they supported their
market on all of the weak spots.
• Some of the recent buyers, however,
j were timid and unloaded their corn
because of th eweakness in wheat.
•Cush corn was not so snappy and
the basis was off l-4c@l-2c from
yesterday. There was a break-up in
the excellent weather due to light
showers over most of Illinois and
parts of lowa.
Oats were affected by the action
of corn. Prices changes were of lit
tle importance. There was a little
selling for northwest account early,
'but the offerings were absorbed by
i commission houses on resting or
| ders. Shipping demand for oats was
of a fair volume. New York report
ed some 38 pounds white clipped
oats sold for export.
In provisions lard was the leader.
That product showed much strength
on buying by packers. Reports of
good export sales of lard overnight
encouraged speculative buying also.
! Offerings came mostly from longs
for profit. Meats were neglected
and easy in tone.
Corn had a sharp bulge in the later
trading and closed 2 7-8 to 3 3-4 c
' higher. Shorts covered freely, becom
ing frightened over the poor husking
l returns. December, $1.07 3-8 to 1-8;

Wheat rallied with corn and clos

113.000 bushels of oats, and 10,000
! bushels of barley.
I . The Seaboard reported 200.000

SHAVER PREDICTS VICTORY
IN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Abso
lute confidence in the straight out
election of John W. Davis and
Governor Bryan was expressed by
Clem Shaver, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, in
a. statement here Sunday declaring
that the election of Calvin Coolidge
is "an impossibility."
‘‘Davis and Bryan will be elected
in the electoral college," Mr. Shaver
said. "This analysis is based on
the congressional and other elec
tions of 1922 and reports from state
and county chairmen from every
state in which the result is in doubt.’’
States carried by the Democratic
party in the congressional elections
of 1922 would alone be sufficient to
guarantee the election of the Demo
cratic ticket, Mr. Shaver contended.
With La Follette in the field
‘‘drawing two votes from the Re
publicans to one from the Demo- >
crats” the outcome is made doubly
certain, he asserted.
"To be exact, the states carried
by the Democrats for members of
the house of representatives in that '
year total 277 electoral votes or 23 ■
majority in the electoral college." ,
Mr. Shaver said.
"If we added to these the states ;
carried by Democratic candidates for '
governor or United States senator, j
or both, they total 82 more, or 359 ■
elector's, a majority of 187 in the
electoral college.
“Conditions since that time have j
certanily not grown more unfavor- ■
able for us. On the contrary, the
various exposures of oil and other
scandals, the widespread business
depression and distress of the farm
ers. and other similar developments,
have certainly weakened the Repub
lican party and added, as a natural
eonsVqm'iice, to our strength.
"When to all of the above is add- I
ed the fact that the third party
ticket is drawing more from tiie Re
publican candidate than from our
own. the reason for our faith in
Democratic victory is at once ap
parent.
“The Democratic party carried the
country two years ago and is Streng
er today than it was then. A solid
Democracy is behind John W. Davis
and in addition he is gaining acces
sions from tlte loading educators and
thinking men and women of the
country. There is a tremendous
silent vote that determines all elec
tions, and this silent vote I have
every reason to believe will in large
measure he cast for Davis.”
Mr. Shaver said that in the only
two previous election years a third
party was strong enough to make
itself felt, the Democrats came off
victorious by virtue of the third
party dividing Republican strength.
These years were 1892, when Cleve
land was elected with the populists
taking 22 electoral votes, and 1912,
when Woodrow Wilson went in.
with Roosevelt and Taft splitting
the Republicans.

i spector refrained from returning the
' fire or saying anything about the
shooting. To have done so Yvould
have meant the failure of his mis
sion.
Through strategy, he finallv was
aged to catch fine fish and had re- |
to the arrests. '
' \ And from them this much was I
learned:
Marly last spring the Nomads be- j
j gan to find fishing poor. Then they j
turned to hunting with equally as
' little success. Traps were set, but |
* they were always empty when the ,
hunters visited them.
Ato! Alone Was Lucky
The wise men of the tribe grew |
suspicious. Hven their greatest I
hunters reported they could finu i
nothing.
Gossip began running through the 1
camp that an “evil spirit" was hov- !
ering about. If it were not destroyed. I
surely the tribe would perish of hun
ger.
Now it happened that in the eamp
: was a lad called Atol, or Moccasin.
Os somewhat delicate constitution,
he was given much to his own com
pany. That alone was bad.
Again it was related how he man- I
aged to catch fine fish and had he- i
markable luck on the hunt.
The rumor spread that Atol had
an “evil spirit." lie used it, argued
the old warriors, not to obtain fine j
fish and game for himself, but to i 1
scare them away from the rest of <
the tribe.
Hanged Head Downward
The climax came when he was de- |
tected one night in his tent bending j
over a fire, either humming or talk- 1
ing to himself.
Who else could he be conversing
witli except the “evil spirits?"
The unlucky youth was seized,
bound to a tree, head downward.
Other members of the tribe began
executing a weird dance in a circle
about him. These proceedings were
intended to impress the spirit with i
i the fact that they bad gained as- i
cendency over it.
But the young tree was weak and ,
it broke, throwing Atol to the '
ground. This time he was tied ;
spread-eagle fashion to an impro- '
i vised rack and the dance was re
newed.
Then they left him there to die. ■
I For hours and hours he was hanging i
j there, head down, his pitiful cries]
i rending the sharp night air.
Atol. though in terrible agony ■
and without a bite to eat or a drop ,
\ to drink, was still alive next day. j
l His tormentors thought he was tak- j
i ing too long to die, so one of the j

squaws cut his throat with a knife.
Crawls Like ( rah
In the tribe, the police also dis
covered a horribly crippled girl
named Madeline. Suspected of witch
craft, she had been maimed for life.
Three days and three nights she
had been stretched by one foot and
one arm upon the rack. Both are
paralyzed now. Today she propels
herself over the ground like a crab..
The officers are not through in
vestigating her case yet. But they
had to let it go until they got their
prisoners Atol’s murderers back
here for trial.
Now. however, they are going
back to that wild country of uncan
ny people, reachable only by dog
team, canoe and on foot', to try to
bring to justice Madeline's perse
cutors and stamp out forever the
primitive cruelties of her people.

NORFOLK. Va., Oct. 27.—Frank
James, Norfolk county farmer, who
Last Thui'sday night went to the.
home of 'he parents of his estrang
ed bride of ten days, shot and severe
ly wounded his father-in-law, J. P.
Mahan, and brother-in-law. HugJi
Mahan, forcibly carried away his
wife and who has since been hiding
in a nearby swamp, surrendered last
night. De promptly was bailed .n
the sum of $2,400 through the efforts
of his wife and later it was announc
ed the couple had been reconciled
and would return to the cottage
home the farmer had built especial
ly for his bride, with whom he elop
ed October 12.
Just what o< urred after James
broke into the Mahan home Thurs
day night and took away his bride
was not clear, and authorities ex
press the belief he had the help of
friends in eluding posses who sought
him for more than 48 hours. Ac
cording to Mrs. James, she spent
Thursday night, in the swamp but
left him next day to go tn the home
of a friend with a message that her
husband would surrender if bail
could be arranged and he would not
have to go to jail. She became lost
and, spent Friday night alone in the
swami), her story goes, but reached
the friend’s home Saturday at noon
She was successful in arranging the
terms sought by James and he came
in last night. Their method of 20m
munication was not divulged. It
was learned that both were supplied
with blankets and food during the
time they were being sought.
The father, who is in the same hos
pital here with his son undergoing
treatment for gunshot wounds, de
dared last night he would not drop
the case even though his daughter
had “made up" with James and
would press additional charge against
him. Both Mahans will recover. 1
