EVE IF III Declares He Can Not Deny Girls’ Charges. SAN FRANCISCO, Au*. 28.—E. Drew Caminetti, son of a wealthy and prominent family, whose father is politically powerful, to-day admitted that he was near a nervous break down over the approach of his trial, which begins Tuesday before Federal Judge Van Fleet Following the con viction of Maury I. Diggrf, former State architect, on a charge of being a white slaver, Caminetti must faoe the same charge and hear the same evi dence against him that convicted Diggs. In an Interview to-day he said: “I do not attempt to condone a breach of Federal law, but I am not a white slaver, and I will not plead guilty to the charge against me.” Caminetti will not deny the truth of any statement that Lola Norris makes on the witness stand. “When Man’s Sin Comes Homi." “God knows,” he said, “that It Is going to be hard for me and for Diggs, but infinitely worse for the two women in the case. I know from my experience before the trial. “That Is where a man’s sin comes home to him. It is hard enough for all of us, but doubly hard for Lola Norris. As for Marsha Warrington, I feel, perhaps, less sympathy, for she used reprisal. Anything that Lola may say on the witness stand will have no denial from me.” Not Reconciled With Wife. Speaking of the rumor that he was to plead guilty, Caminetti said: “I am not guilty of any Intent or action under the white slave law. I do not 'condone my offense, but surely It is only natural to say that this Is an offei.se that Is being com mitted by thousands every day and for which there is no impeachment or even blame. “I am not afraid to face trial. I have sinned, but I have not sinned as thjs Mann act would make It ap pear. I can only hope that prejudice will be stricken from the courtroom when I am put on trial.” There has been no reconciliation between Caminetti and his wife. Elkin Gets Rich Gift From Rexall Club W.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—'Influenced by a dry weather map and prospects for no rain over the Southwest Sunday, coupled with a very bullish report by Cord 111 on Texas, and Turner’s report showed considerable deterioration, the cotton market opened strong to-day with first prices at a net advance of 8 to 18 points from the closing quotations of Friday. This was much higher for new crops than had been expected. Some of the trade who had reduced their lines yesterday were good buyers at the start. In addition to this, Liverpool re ported firm cables, but quoted spot oot- ton unchanged, with only 4,000 bales. Spot interests, commission houses and shorts put prices still higher when they heard that all chances of rain where needed were gone, as far as could be Judged from the weather map. It rained where no cotton was grown or where the crop needs no moisture Just now. Prices continued to climb higher until they stood about 23 points higher than the previous close by the end of the first hour. It was the gossip that crop estimates aro being lowered. Some spot house* believe the loss will be about 2,000,000 bales In Texas and Oklahoma. Many believe that if the eastern crop turns out as it did In 1911, the total crop will be about 14.000.000 bales. These early estimates are not worth much. At the close, the market Was very steady, with prices at a net advance of 18 to 23 points from the final quotations of Friday. Estimated cotton receipts: _ Saturday. 1911.

HAYWOOD AND CLAK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER. NEW ORLEANS Aug. 23.—Our mar ket opened about ten higher and after some easiness caused by retailing ad vanced further in the last hour to 11.67 for October. New’ York reports active support by the interests, which led the advance early Jn th® week. The Cordill report and official forecast of fair weather west with the expectation of bullish private condition reports next week were the principal reasons for the buying. A short crop scare seems well under way, but much depends on whether the intention of getting foreign consumers alarmed ’ and causing them to enter more freely in the market for spots will be successful.

This sort of thing has now begun to get on tire nerves of the talent, and even those bulls who, In the past, nave been most outspoken In support of the accu racy of the Government data are ready to believe that beneficial rains have oome to many sections In the West without being Indicated by the Govern ment. “This creates a wide open question tn the minds of both talent and trade. The mere fact that there is reason to doubt the complete dependability of any in formation on which the rings rely, in jects the element of uncertainty where assuranoe alone should exist. More par ticularly Is this true at this time, be cause Sunday, the date on which the Government will predicate Its crop con dition percentages will be made up. Naturally then the question arises: Will the Government crop condition data be In a measure based on Govern ment weather information. In so far as it applies to crop needs, or only on the actual status or the crop, Government weather to the contrary notwithstand ing. The theorist who depends on the Government weather reports expeots much more bullish condition percentage figures for Texas and Oklahoma than does the man who accepts private rain reports from the West at approximately faoe value.” • • • J. B. Turner, of Memphis, reports the following on the condition of the cotton crop for the week ending August 22: “Deterioration in the condition of the cotton crop Is Indicated for the week in every State, save North and South Carolina, where the status has been barely maintained. In all the Important ootton-produclng States the loss appears to have been in excess of what may be termed usual for the season attending the gradual maturity of the plant. “Except In Louisiana, where showers aided the boll weevil, the loss has been due entirely to lack of rainfall. In Geor gia and to a. smaller extent In Alabama, the plant, which had been abundantly nourished by frequent rains, was checked in growth, and gives evidence of inability to mature the young fruit unless more rains come. In the Missis sippi Valley the plant Is hardier than in the Southeast, but needs moisture to maintain the promise that has hereto fore been Its need. “In Texas and Oklahoma long con tinued drotith, with accompanying scorching sunshine, has dried out the soil and the plant has wilted and parched to an extent that promises only very moderate recovery In the event soaking rains fall at once. The late growth that rain would produce would need a favorable fall for its fruition.’ By CHARLE8 W. STORM. NEW YORK, Aug. 13^-Canadlan Pa cific showed the best strength at the opening of the stock market to-day, ad vancing to 221 for a gain of 2 points over Friday’s final. Much of the strength tn Canadian Pa- clflo was due to buying orders cabled from the other side, as there was no session of the London Stock Exchange and speculators there had to do their Saturday trading in some other market. After half an hour, however, Canadian Pacific lost some or its advance. The tone was strong. Among the other advances were the following: Amalgamated Copper, %; United States Steel common. %; Union Pacific, %; Southern Pacific, 14; Reading, %; New York, New Haven and Hartford, %; General Electric, %: Chino Copper, %; Chesapeake and Ohio, %; SL Paul %, and American Locomotive, 1. The strength In American Locomotive was due to a statement by the president relative to the decision to cease manu facturing automobiles. That branch of the business always proved a losing venture, and with It eliminated, the financial prospects from the straight manufacture of locomotives are much brighter. Lehigh Valley began % lower, but recovered. The curb was steady. The market closed firm. Government bonds unchanged, Other bonds steady. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
