PBEAGHER HELD
FOR THEFT
Rev. A. Campbell Chowning, in
Tower Cell, Declares Arrest
Is an Outrage.
/ *
Vigorously protesting his innocence,
Rev. A. Campbell Chowning, evangel
ist and author of religious works, to
day is a prisoner'in the Tower, accused
of having stolen a grip containing about
S6O in cash yesterday afternoon from
the office of the Schoen-Porter Fer
tilizer Company, 1306 Fourth National
Bank building.
At the time the grip disappeared the
minister was canvassing the building to
sell his latest book, “The Crucial Test
of the Golden Pathway of Time.” While
trying to sell one of his books in the
fertilizer company office, he is accused
of having picked up the grip from a
chair and disappeared from the office.
The grip belongs to S. J. Eakes, of
Conyers. Ga., an agent of the fertilizer
company, who had gone to the office to
report and turn in his money.
Arrested by Detectives.
When the minister enterd the office
he Is saJd to have placed his package of
books ih the chair beside Eakes’ grip.
When Eakes, who had been engaged in
another part of the office, started for
his grip he found it gone. The minis
ter and his books also were gone.
S. E. Broadnax, secretary and treas
urer of the fertilizer company, later
swore out a warrant for Chowning,
charging him with larceny, and the lat
ter was taken into custody by detec
tives.
A search of the minister’s apartments
at 138 Pulliam street failed to reveal
I any trace of the missing money bag,
| and so far all efforts to find it have
i proven futile.
Detectives say an elevator motorman
in the bank building has identified
Chowning as having gone down on
his car with the grip in his hands.
Indignant Over Arrest.
The minister appears indignant over
his arrest.
“This is simply outrageous,” he said
today when seen in the Tower by a
Georgian reporter. “I am certainly in
nocent of having stolen that grip, and
absolutely know nothing of it. I ad
mit that 1 was in the fertilizer office
trying to sell my book and that I laid
my package of books in a chair, but I
never even so much as noticed whether
there was a grip in the chair. When 1
found that I could make no sale in this
office, I picked up my books from the
chair and went into the next office.
1 saw no grip when I went out. I vis
ited several other offices, and made no
attempt to escape from the building.
This is all the result of a peculiar com
bination of circumstances.”
The minister will be given a prelim
niary hearing before Justice Girardeau.

Bulls Ignore Bearish Figures in
Reports and Spots Fail to
Follow Decline.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—lncreased sales
in Liverpool caused the cotton market
here to open steady, with January dis
playing the greatest amount of activity.
Prices opened 3 points lower to 1 point
higher than last night's close. There was
a heavy dleinand for January contracts by
large suot house traders, which resulted
in a sudden upward movement in this
option of 14 points. Other positions fol
lowed the advance, and after fifteen min
utes of trading prices aggregated 11 to
14 points advance from the opening fig
ures. After the ' call, the market was
steady, with prices firmly maintained at
Hie high levels. The selling was small
and scattered, with the buying pressure
heavy.
Many wires were received today from
the belt stating that spots were not fol
lowing the decline that prevailed yester
day when the market was under heavy
liquidation. This created a fear among
the bears to sell short in face of contin
ued good demand. Heavy buying con
tinued throughout the early session, and
it was evident that the larger spot inter
ests were absorbing the contracts. Jan
uary rallied from 12.35 to 12.58. March
rallied to 12.67, May 12.60 and July to
12.55. The entire list during the late
forenoon stood 15 to 23 points over the
opening range.
Opinions differ very widely as to the
amount of cotton ginned to December 1.
Some of the most conservative estimates,
such as the national ginners. say 11,850,-
000 bales or over, but many say these
figures are too high. However, traders
are endeavoring to work prices on a more
even basis to meet the bureau report next
Monday. The technical position of the
market is much stronger than for some
time past.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain of 7 to 17
points from the final quotations of Mon
day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.—lt looks as
if the decrease in the spot business at
Liverpool during the last rapid rise to
6% pence had been by common agree
ment, as, today, when prices dropped near
6%d there was at once a marked increase
in sales —10.000 bales; spots 11 lower.
< >ur market today depended on two pos
sibilities: The amount of liquidation that
would come on it if not supported, or the
strength of professional support to stem
the downward course. Yesterday after
non on late liquidation the market dropped
8 to ID points after the close of Liverpool.
Opening trades this morning were, there
fore. at an advance of 8 points and as
there was no pressure to sell at moment,
general speculation was encouraged and
general buying caused an advance to 12.70
for March.
Liverpol cabled that A. J. Buston esti
mated the crop at 14,100,000 commercial.
It was reported that Mr. Turner, of The
Memphis Comercial Appeal, estimates the
ginnings at 11,700,000. This forecast ranks
with Weld's, and there appears to be a
wide difference of opinion as to the
amount ginned to December 1, which will
be published by the government next
Monday. The National Ginners’ says 11.-
850,000 bales or over. Others say 11.700.-
000 bales or under. The current trade
opinion considers the National Ginners'
forecast too high and favors the smaller
forecasts. According to Mr. Hester, the
amount brought into sight during Novem
ber is 2,943.334. against 2.750,018 last year
and the crop in sight at the close of the
first three months of the season is 7,269,-
151, against 7.139,816 last year.

After Hie heavy liquidation of yester

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows cloudy
over the belt; general rains in southern
half and entire eastern belt. Indications
are for more general rains and continued
cloudy: little change in temperatures.
Spots are dull with no pressure, how
ever, to sell.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
The extent of the break in cotton values
in yesterday's market surprised every
body, and at the close some reactionaries
turned bullish under the belief that Liv
erpool this morning would not fully re
spond to the American weakness. Con
sequently, should Liverpool report a full
decline another slump will probably be
recorded on this side today, without direct
reference to the primary essentials of
supply and requirement.
Meanwhile, the bear on cotton, as far
as possible, ignores the plentiful evi
dence of heavy consumption, and devotes
his entire time to the discussion of the
volume of supply and of technical condi
tions. He believes the interior has been
speculating extensively in actual cotton;
that middlemen own many bales they have
not hedged, and that outsiders, who are
weak on the declining market, hold the
bulk of the long contracts that have been
sold across the New York ring during
the recent weeks.
With this belief as a basis, it is a very
easy matter to describe a very bearish
condition of affairs cottonwise. The
slump in export freight room engage
ments is made to appear as conclusive
evidence that Europe has received enough
cotton. The strength of spots in the
interior all season is made to appear as
final proof of spot speculation. The un
favorable dividend showing of the Fall
River mills is made to serve as an index
to poor textile trade at home. The mag
nitude of the into-sight movement is ex
ploited solely as a pointer to the presence
of a surplus supply in the interior.

itial (rading had been bolstered by fic
titious support from trailers who feared
otherwise the effect of the supreme court
decision dissolving the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. Union Pacific common

ten minutes had dropped to 170%, a net

LICHSTERN
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—The Inter-Ocean
says:
"Deliveries of wheat on December con
tract yesterday were 2,100.000 bushels,
including 400,000 bushels delivered pri
vately. which is understood to have gone
to Lichstern. From a bear standpoint,
there was nothing new in the situation. :.>
They called attention to the increased. J
selling pressure on May above 90c, while
admitting that the wheat disappears on is
all breaks below that figure, but believe
it is only a temj/orarv resting level. The
few bears to be found in com last night S
said that any good advance would be
welcome, as it would enable them to put
nut fresh lines to better advantage; also.
In all probability. Increase the selling by
the country,”
