ARRESTED AS HE
LEAVES PRISON
Tom Howard, Notorious Postof
fice Robber, Taken to Arkansas
to Answer New Charges,
Thomas Howard, who has just
completed a year’s sentence at the

being his assistant in many of the
crimes. The boy’s mother joined in
the search for Howard. The finding
of the boy led to the capture of
Howard.
Howard was taken to Little Rock.
His arrival at the prison was sensa
tional. He became violent when the
jailers refused to allow him to take
his suitcase into his cell with him.
Investigation showed the grip con
tained several bottles of sweet oil
and several packages of needles, with
which it would have been possible
for him to have filed his way to lib
erty through the iron bars.
The order for his transfer was
handed down by Judge Newman
Wednesday afternoon. He was re
leased from the Federal Prison and
Immediately rearrested.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Sopt. 11.—At the open
ing of the cotton market to-day there
was a buying wave and first prices were
at a net advance of 7 to IS points from
Wednesday’s final. The buying came
from the same Interests which supported
the list yesterday, which Included some
of the larger spot houses. Cables,
while better than due, did not Justify
the upturn. Reports from Galveston re
ported damage to the southwestern belt
from heavy rains. This was partly re
sponsible for the buying movement.
After the list had increased its initial
gain 1 to 3 points, an unexpected sell
ing wave, led by the ring, based on the
uncertainty in Washington and a Liver
pool cable stating that the situation at
Manchester is getting worse and the
general feeling is blue.
After the call the list was under
profit-taking on the early bulge and
prices sueffred a decline of 8 to 13 points
from the opening range, but Immediate
ly rallied through active buying from
strong sources.
The volume of trading was of a light
character. New Orleans was reported
a buyer in this market, while a certain
firm with Mejprphis connection also
bought. The feeling is against the
market, however, and lower prices are
predicted. Spot sales In Liverpool, how
ever. continue heavy, thereby leading a
stable undertone to the market, which
made the bear element hesitate to push
their tactics far enough to cause any
drastic decline. The former aggres
siveness of the bulls was conspicuous by
its absence. They seemed to have
stepped aside for the movement, prob
ably with the end in view of allowing
a short interest to accumulate and
prices to sag to an attractive enough
level, upon which they might replace
their lines recently sold out.
The present legislation in Washington
is restricting trading to a great extent
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
LIVERPOOL, Sept. 11.—This market

COTTON GOSSIP
NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—Wednesday’s
market acted as though it needed con
stant support to hold it up. Gwathmey
& Co. were big buyers for the day, many
thought that Pell & Shearson were the
leading sellers. Lester, for the latter
firm, traded in nearly 50,000%bales, most-
!y selling January, but he bought con
siderable October against It. Gwathmey
wer « th °ught to be around
30,000 bales. Hubbard and Wall Street
bought an<] Liverpool sold. The mar-
ket had a weak spell in the last hour,
but rallied on buying by Mitchell, forc
ing shorts to cover.
* * *
Local bears say the market is long
and unless continually supported it will
sell lower, as crop talk from the South
west is better and cables from Man
chester and the continent say trade is
becoming very slack.
« * *
Hlbbs, a leading broker in Washing
ton. wired Chapin yesterday that the
bill, as it passed the Senate, becomes
operative September, 1914, but he said
there wasn't the least doubt that
it would be modified in conference.
* * •
The average operator fears the hedge
selling from the South, as the move
ment will naturally be heavy in a very
short time
* * *
The legislation In Washington is
having a depressing effect and we may
expect a nervous market until things
are in a more definite shape at the Cap
itol.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 11.—Hayward
& Clarke: “The weather map shows
cloudy, with general rainfall over the
western half of Mississippi and entire
western half of the belt; heavy rain at
Galveston, local at that point; generally
fair in Alabama and the Atlantic's, with
little precipitation. Nice summer tem
peratures over the Central and Western
States, but temperatures range below
normal over the Allantics; however, not
injuriously so. Indications are for clear
ing in the northern half of the belt,
cooler in the West: warmer in the East
ern States. General showery weather
over the southwestern quarter.”

The New Orleans Timee-Demoerat
says: “Wednesday’s cotton market ex
hibited a good deal of nervousness.
There was cause enough. Splendid rains
have fallen all over the drouth affected
States of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan
sas and there Is an important reaction in
the market, which shows that because
of the excellence of this year’s tap
root renewed growth and further fruit
ing will result. To an extent at least,
even in those sections of the West
where the drouth has been most acute
and that where light rains fell at in
tervals during the period of drouth, as
was the case over a large area in Texas,
a top crop is now assured by reason of
the precipitation Saturday, Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday.
"This attitude. of course, create*
contentions since the talent in the main
nead abroad under the belief that
the last <»f the rain had, by September
1, caused irreparable and very impor
tant damage in the West.
“The trade situation also gives rlM
to controversy. Spinners are not buy
ing cotton ahead of actual requirements,
and supply merchants are beginning to
show annoyance over the lack of busi
ness. Bears contend that since there is
n@ scarcity of cotton, and since the
manufactured product in record-break
ing volume has passed from the mills to
the shelves of the merchants during the
past two years, spinners need not be
in a hurry to provide themselves with
the raw material now that crop esti
mates are expanding and prices are
comparatively high ”
Changed Whisky to
Vinegar in Evidence
MACON, Sept. 11.—When Murray Mc
Lain, a bookkeeper, testified before the
Grand Jury he said he witnessed the sale
of liquor at J. P. Devlin’s saloon. In
the trial of the case in the City Court,
McLain swor© that the liquid was vin
egar, and that he was mistaken when
he said it was whisky.
Judge Hodges immediately charged
McLain with contempt of court and
sent him to Jail for live days
GRAIN
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.—Drouth in the
Southwest as a market factor has been
elln.^vted by soaking rains over Kan
sas, Oklahoma and parts of Missouri
and Nebraska during the past two days.
Corn felt the effects of the more favor
able weather and declined % to % on
the opening here this morning.
Wheat was affected by the decline of
*4 to ‘id in Liverpool in the face of
yesterday’s closing strength here, and
the forecast of larger Argentina ship
ments and declined % to %c.
Oats had a small range and averaged
slightly lower.
Provisions were weaker and lower, due
to a drop of 10 to 20c in hog prices.

Grain Notes
Aside from the benefit that pasture
lands will derive from the rains, the
moisture will put the ground in better
condition for plowing for winter wheat,
this being already late in many sec
tions.

Broomhall cabled that Canada has
purchased Argentine corn at the dock
in Liverpool The cable further states
that America is also bidding for Argen
tine corn at the dock here for ship
ment to Gulf ports.

There has been a little confusion the
past few days as to showing of Govern
ment spring wheat figures. It has been
contended that the final estimate will
amount to close to 260,000,000 bushels,
but the report is expected to indicate
240,000,000 to 245,000.000 bushels.

Walter H. Moler, with S. B. Chapin &
Co., says that the Government report on
corn should show a condition of about
65, which on the Government method
of indicating crops, would suggest 2,340.-
000,000.^ Condition on oats should be
about 72 per cent, indicating a crop of
1,000,000.000. Spring wheat indicated
crop should be about 240.000,000 bushels
which would make total indicated wheat
crop more than 750,000.000 bushels.

w - says that understanding
of the difference between the drouth
this year and those of other seasons is
essential to a realization of the se-
rlousness of the present situation. In
1901 and in 1911, drouth has confined to
June and July, relief coming In 1901
about August 1 and in 1911. around Au-
gust 15. It is the destruction of corn
and of late summer and fall pasturage
that makes the present drouth the most
serious in decades. F'rom an economic
standpoint, the loss of forage this year
is only a little less serious than the loss
to the corn crop.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says-
"Sentiment was more divided last

many bulla who can see but one side

The New York Financial Bureau says:
“Bullish tactics should continue. Stocks
that have been dragging may be brought
forward- Those that have advanced
sharply may mark time under profit-
taking temporarily. We would be friend
ly to stocks on moderate recessions.”

E. E. Clark, of N. L. Carpenter &
Co., says: "General belief is that Union
Pacific directors will not approve any
of the various plans adopted by rumor
venders for distribution of the surplus
recently acquired in the sale of Southern
Pacific atock. We believe stocks will
show gradual improvement, and, with
recessions from time to time, seek a
higher level during the balance of the
year. The Steel stocks should be fa
vored on un apparent turn for the bet
ter In this Industry.
“Copper stocks present good basis for
advance on condition of the metal.
Northern Pacific is safe and attractive
at jirevailing prices.”

“Gee, ain’t it a peach! Couldn’t I speed some if I had one of
them! How many are you going to give away, Mister?” These
are some of the remarks to be heard around The Georgian Office
where the big red “Georgian Flyer” is on exhibition—the one
just like The Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian
will give to each boy and girl who secures forty new subscrip
tions to the paper before October 1.
There are many earnest workers and the subscriptions are
coming fast. It woukl only be a wild guess now to say who will
win the first, fifteen cars and receive the Charter Membership
Certificates to the Atlanta Pedalmobile Racing Club. These Cer
tificates will entitle the holder to compete in any or all races and
events to be held in the near future.
Pedalmobile Clubs are to be found in many of the large
cities, having been promoted by some of the largest and best
newspapers in the country. This sort of sport may be new in At
lanta, but in many particulars the Pedalmobile races are to the
children what the Auto races are to the grown-ups. In fact, they
are handled a good deal on the same order and are interesting
to the parents as well as the children.
These little machines are not to be confined to pleasure
alone, but can be put to good use in many different ways. In
some cities carrier boys who have won Pedalrnobiles may be seen
distributing their papers in them. All these cars are well-made
and serviceable and will surely gladden the heart of any hoy or
girl who is fortunate enough to win one.
These cars are now on exhi bition in the window of 0. C.
Polk Dry Goods Store, 29 South Gordon Street; South Pryor Ice
Cream Parlor, 353 South Pryor Street, and Imperial Tire and
Tube Company, 349 Peachtree Street. While attending the Odd-
and-Ends Sale at Polk’s Dry Goods Company, be sure to notice
the “Georgian Flyer” in the window.
OUTSIDE WORKERS.
A number of hoys and girls outside of the city of Atlanta
have sent in their application blanks and are now working earn
estly to obtain one of the handsome little cars. The Pedalmobile
man will be glad to send subscription blanks to more honest hust
lers who would like to own a Pedalmobile.
Just fill out the application blank below and full particu
lars will be mailed you at once.
