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. TOURIST HOTEL FOR JESUP. JESUP. GA..

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1912 SPOTINTERESTS IKCOTTON 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. RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.

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.

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. Following are 10 a. m. blds: December 12.61.
