PROSPERITY FOR STATE
CROP ROOD. PRICES RICH
16 MORE SEPTEMBER
MORNS AT PIEDMONT
MISS FRANCES SMITH.
II. S,
The aun is shining prosperity all
over .Georgia to-day.
The Government report, which ent
the price of cotton up $3.50 a bale,
ehows that the crop in this State is in
much better condition that it wan last
year, and that the harvest will yield
Georgia more than $5,000,000 more
than in 1912.
Cotton in Georgia did not deterio
rate even one-tenth of a *>oint from
July 25 to August 25, according to the
Census Bureau estimate of condition.
North Carolina and South Carolina
gained 1 and 2 points, respectively;
Florida lost but 1 point in condition
With these exception. 6 ', every State
in tiie cotton belt recorded serious de
preciation in the condition of the
growing staple, the losses ranging
from 4 poinls for the relatively unim-
po-tant area in California to 38 points
for Oklahoma. Texas, the greates’
cotton State, is 17 points off. The
central belt shows insect ravages. In
the West is drouth.
Mill® Seeking New Crop.
Spot cotton rules now above 12
cents. The world’s mills are supposed
to have u°»ed 750,000 more bales last
year than the world’s Held*' grew.
This must nave reduced the cotton
left over from 1911, the banner 18,000,-
000-bale crop year, to almost nothing.
Those who are keenest in watching
the cotton trade already see signs the t
the mills in America and abroad al
ready are in the market for the new
crop. These are the arguments which
point to sustained high prices for cot
ton.
Georgia last year had a short cottor. j
crop, while Texas produced an enor
mous yield. This year Texas banks
are overflowing with money. ‘Many
of them are going through this au- 1
tumn without borrowing from New |
York, for the first time, they say, in j
twenty years. Many of them, in fact,
have loaned funds in New York at
this period of tight money.
That's w'hat a big crop and high
prices do for a favored State. That is
what Georgia financiers look forward
to hopefully.
Crop Going to “Pay Out.”
What Georgia needed this year.
abfA'o all things, whs a good crop at
fair prices. Obligations are hanging
over from the previous season. There
was tight money this year. This crop
has to "pay out.” Everyone realized
this, and the discouraging early spring
brought general gloom. All this now
is changed. Trade already reflect 6 '
the optimism born of good crop pros
pects.
The crop never was grown with less
expense. Even 12-cent cotton will
show good profits, and just now it
looks as if 13 and a fraction is a prlc
for middlings not beyond possibility.

Habeas Corpus Proceedings.
SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Sept. 3.
Tliis was the critical day of Harry
K. Thaw’s fight against deportation
from Canada Judge Matthew’ Hutch
inson. who heard the arguments upon
the writ of habeas corpus sworn out
in Thaw's behalf by Constable John
Boudreau, of Coaticook, intimated ho
would hand down a decision this aft
ernoon.
Canadian immigration officials held
themselves prepared to seize Thaw
the minute he might be liberated.
The case of "Educated Roger"
Thompson, the chauffeur, who drove
Thaw from Matteawan. N. Y., Ar
rested charged with aiding an unde-
«i*'Hble alien to enter this country,
wu.s adjourned for one wee. The
court held that Thaw had to he
p nved an undesirable alien before
Thompson could he tried.
There was a conference of Thaw's
lawyers here to-day, at which th«
question of applying for an Injunc
tion to keep Thaw out of the hands
of the immigration agents was eon-
aide red.
W. L. Shurtleff conferred wi ll
Thaw in the St. Francis Jail. Pri
vate detectives employed by Thaw-
kept close watch upon former Dis
trict Attorney William T. Jerome,
accredited with formulating a plot
to htdnap Thaw and carry him to
Mat tea wan.
Thaw's lawyers are greatly dis
turbed at the activity of representa
tives of the Attorney General and
the Governor of Quebec Province.
This was shown by Thaw’s action 'n
hiring another Canadian lawyer, N.
K La flame, of Montreal.
There were reports here that Mrs.
William Thaw, who has been 111 at
her summer home in ‘’reason, Pa., is
hurrying to h‘r son’s side to ild

Fair Bathers Hail With Delight the
Postponement of Lake Closing.
There are a lot of people in At
lanta who were made happy by the
action of the Park Board in deciding
to keep Piedmont l^ake open until
September 19, but none of them is
any happier than Miss Frances
Smith, ore of the most popular girls
at home in the lake.
Miss Smith is one of the best girl
swimmers in Atlanta, and has been
a familiar figure at the lake all sea
son. She was the tirst person to
dare the waters, and dived off the big
springboard into the chilly waters of
tlie lake within a few moments after
tlie lake was declared officially open,
and she says she is going to be tlie
last person to leave the lake when
the powers that be shut it down on
the '19-th.
Miss Smith has done a lot of un
usual things at Piedmont Lake. She
can swim faster and farther and
more gracefully than any of the hun
dreds of other young women who are
devotees of the currents, and on La
bor Day she proceeded to break a
few more records. Incidentally she
proved to the satisfaction of every
body who saw her that the water is
not too cold for bathing at this time
of year. She swam three miles with
out geting out of the water, break
ing all records, and then came out of
the lake as fresh and as rosy as when
she went in.
Then she posed for a picture of

Secret Inquest Begun Into New
Haven Tragedy — Engineer
and Flagman Held.
Continued from Page 1.
fore Labor Day that many extra
trains were being put on to accom
modate the heavy traffic and all the
details of these special schedules will
be demanded by the investigators
Meanwhile the railroad officials,
Coroner and Engineer Elwell have
been hearing the stories of the rail
road men who are tentatively held
responsible for the disaster. Engineer
Miller and Flagman Murray. Accord
ing to their statement, the Bar Har
bor express had passed Into the block
past the banjo signals, which would
have warned the Whit© Mountain
express 3 miles back, had it been
set.
Sixty-Mile Speed Charged.
The Bar Harbor express stopped
just outside the signal, but later
started again and calling in the flag
man, gave the succeeding train the
right of way over 3 miles of track,
which, under 60-mile headway, which
many passengers say was the speed
of the train, would have brought it
to the scene of the collision in just
three minutes, not enough time to
permit the preceding train to get out
of the way.
Flagman Murray’s signals were un
doubtedly set, but they were abso
lutely useless, according to the testi
mony, as the approaching train was
already bearing down upon him with
in the block, even as he set hi.s tor
pedoes. The charge tentatively laid
against him is that he failed to set
off a coston signal, as it is claimed
was his duty in the fog that pre
vailed.
Say Engineer Was Warned.
That Engineer Miller received
warning that he was closely follow
ing the Bar Harbor train at Meriden,
miles beyond the scene of the acci
dent, is the evidence of C. J. Dana-
her, a lawyer of that city, who yes
terday told of hearing the two trains
pass his home and hearing the White
Mountain express explode two tor
pedoes of warning.
The evidence of L. G. Morse, of
Chicago, a passenger* on the Bar Har
bor express, is a severe arraignment
of tlie trainmen in charge of that
train. Mr. Morse says emphatically
that the brakes on the Bar Harbor
express were set at the time the
wreck occurred. Having been a
brakeman on the Boston and Maine
Railroad at one time, he lost no time
when the train stopped in getting off
to see what was the cause of the
stop.
Passenger Accuses Brakeman.
At this time he says he saw the
brakeman. who, he supposed, was
flagman, standing at about the thir
teenth car on the train whistling and
tossing pebbles into the bushes be
side the track. He walked toward
the engine and had taken but a few'
steps w’hen he heard the cra-ck of tw’o
torpedoes followed almost immediate
ly by the crash. The grinding of the
huge locomotive throfigh the cars was
followed by the screams of the dying
and wounded.
“The torpedoes were entirely too
near the train to have given any ade
quate warning of danger,” said Mr.
Morse. “The brakeman should have
gone back to signal the following
Columbus Officer Who Killed
Youth Over Fifty-Cent Debt
To Be Heard September 19.
COLUMBUS, Sept. 3.—The hearing
of Bailiff Robert W. Willis, for. kill-
ing Luther Hawkins, a Hapeville
youth, whom he was attempting to
arrest Friday afternoon on a war
rant sworn out by Charles Jordan,
a boardinghouse keeper, charging
him with beating a 50-cent board
bill, was continued late yesterday aft
ernoon until September 19, at the
request of the attorneys for the de
fense.
T. Hicks Fort, for the defense,
asked the continuance on the grounds
that Jordan, principal witness for
the defense, was absent; that be
cause of the seriousness of the charge
against the prisoner, the attorneys
had not had time to prepare for the
trial; and that public feeling was
strong against him.
Continuance Opposed.
Solicitor General George C. Palm
er, representing the State, opposed
a continuance on the ground that he
would contend the case was one of
murder and not bailable; that the
father of the slain young man was
present, and being a man of moderate
means, it worked a hardship on him
to attend the trial, and that he, the
Solicitor, would be compelled to go
to other counties to attend court la
ter.
Judge Frank D. Foley, City Re
corder. who presided, after hearing
the statements on both sides, decided
to continue the case. The court
room was crowded with eager spec
tators. who gathered to see what dis
position would be made of the case,
which has attracted Statewide at
tention. because of the smallness of
the offense for which the man was
killed, accidentally, the defense

In a very nervous state and kept his
eyes glued to the floor, paying but
little attention to those about him.
His face was covered with a shaggy
growth of beard, and he seemed to
have aged considerably since he was
incarcerated Friday night.
The killing of Young Hawkins,
whether accidental or not. is still
strongly condemned, it being the gen
eral opinion that Willis, as an of
ficer. had no authority for even try
ing to frighten a prisoner wanted for
a misdemeanor offense, by drawing a
revolver.

fully six minutes when the crash
came, ample time for the train behind
us to have been stopped."
Mr. Morse was also emphatic in his
criticism of the construction of the
cars.
Attacks Car Structure.
“Mr. Mellen testified before the In
terstate Commerce Commission,” he
said, “that all the trains were equip
ped with steel I beams. On our train
there was not a single I beam.”
President Howard Elliott, whose
ghastly introduction to the manage
ment of the New Haven road, has
given him a careworn look, declines
to add to his statement that every ef
fort would be made to give the public
every detail of evidence as the facts
were developed.
