THE EVENING SOUTH SEEKS WAY g T0 HANDLE COTTON Turns to Several Sources for ! Solution of Problem Made by Surplus. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga, August 19.—The Bouth Jooked to several sources today hoping that from one of them might be developed a way out of its cotton surplus dilemma, Chief interest centered about the pos- sibilities of the meeting called for Pri- day ‘at New Orleans by Gov. Huey P. long of Louisiana, who is seeking to :: about & cotton-growing holiday 1932. Last night Gov. Long announced that should the South accept his plan he would ask the Federal Governmeni to enlist the interest of foreign cotton- rowing countries in an acreage regu- ation plan for world stabilization of price similar to the Chadbourne sugar lan. » From Georgia United States Senator Gore has issued a suggestion that a 6-cent-per-pound payment for cotton be made at once by the Federal Farm Board with an additional 6 cents next year if farmers agree not to plant cot- ton in 1932. He urged a special session of Congress unless the Farm Board acts immediately. The Farm Board has made the sug- gestion that Southern farmers plow under every third row of cotton to cut this year's predicted crop of .15,000,000 bales. But neither this suggestion nor that of Gov. Bilbo of Mississippi to jeave a third of the cotton unpicked has attracted any widespread support. Gov. -‘Murray of Oklahoma has sug- as & solution .t‘l'\‘lt ‘:nly the jbest be picked and ginned. One o&‘m’ suggestion has been that the States take over the 1931 crop at & fixed price. Wesmutlu Charles R.

RKANSAS CITY, Kans., August 19.—The entire Southwest is in mourning at the passing of the 101 Ranch, lasi of the inland kingdoms which once were s0 numerous. The 101, situated 30 miles south of here, across the line in Oklahoma, has for years been a show e. In its hospitable “white house” have been en. tertained artists and authors, business magnates, sportsmen, Nation's society and the common peo ple, and its wide doors, in the days when Col. Joe C. Miller led the Miller brothers' trio, were mever locked. A party of guests might arrive at midday or midnight, they always found a wel- come. It was the old-fashioned West- ern hospitality, and it made the ranch internationally famous. Now Col. Zack Miller, last of the three brotheérs, with his 101 Ranch Wild West show stranded in Washington, is beset by mortgagees, creditors, foreclosure suits and a host of claimants. At a mee! of friends, attorneys and those who held liens against the property last week it was agreed that the ranch must pass into strange hands and the vast acreage probably be split up into small farms. They took off their hats as they left the house—crecitor and friend alike. ‘The present situation recalls that the | late Col. George L. Miller nearly sold | the show late in 1928 to the American | Circus Corporation, which then con- trolled also Hagenback-Wallace, Sells- Floto and John Robinson circuses, but when the final papers were drawn, mak- ing the transfer, he protested certain provisions and called off the deal. George L. Miller in 1925 was never | in favor of the show geing on the road | yielded to the pleas of r, Gl Joe C. Miller, mediately George L g around for a chance to sell the Wild West outfit. In 1928, the circus men ranch, where | they were banqueted and entertained #ale of the lhow WAz LABOR T0 PROTEST | CORDTIONS AT DAM In the crowd that came to Ponca City on the two occesions to buy the show were the late Jerry Mugivan of Fort Wayne, next to John Ringling _the best tnown showman in America; Bert Powers and Ed Ballard, assocates of Mugivan for many years. Originally Ballard had bought the Hagenback- Waliace show, which he later turned to Mugivan's organization. Meanwhile the Mugivans had acquired several other old-time circuses, included Goll- mar Brothers, Dan Robinson, Yankee Robinson, the old-time Buffalo Eill show and several others, When the morning came for the stow transfer papers to be signed in a lawyer's office in Ponca, George L Miller suddenly called a hait. He ob- Jected to a provision that permitted the buyers to use the name of the 101 Ranch in promoting the sale of honds. “If I want the people of the United Etates to be solicited for money under tae name of the 101 Ranch,” declared Miller, who had become incensed at the idea, “then I'll do if myself and not e it to others. Cut out that pro- sion and I'll sign the papers.” But the Mugivans would not eliminate it. They maintained they had fallen heirs to the names of Yankee Dan and John Fobertson, Hagenback, Floto and others |and they were entitled to the 101 Ranch name also. George L. Miller began making sr- | rangements later to take the show on the road sgain in the Spring of 1929, an arrangement that was cut short by his accidental death in an automobile accident on February 2, 1929. George L. Miller had been out at the head of the show during the 1928 season. He kaew he had too much business at home that demanded his attention, and he always felt the show couldn't make money. It wes known among friends that he turned fo the show several occasions money that he had made in ofl and other deals. Several times, since George L. Miller died, Col. Zack Miller has believed the opportunity had come to sell the show to Gthers, but always the deal slipped omewhere before the transaction was losed K. C.
