eonnection with the discovery of al- leged COTTON MARKET WILDLY EXCITED Spectacular Rise Followed ington of the Governmsnt Crop Report—:he Smal- lest Crop Since 1903—Tremendous Rush to Euy— World Orders Poured In—Yield Underestimated? New York, Dec. 10.—Not since the Sully boom, of 1904 has the New York cotton exchange witnessed a more sensational scene or a more spectacu- lar rise in prices than occurred today with the announcement from Wash- in of the government crop report. With the galleries crowded with vis- itors from the south, augmented by friends and relatives of operators and other interested spectators, the market soared to a new high record for the season with a gain of more than $2 a bale over yesterday. Both the May and July options touched the high mark of 16.80, both gaining approximately for- ty-two polnts over yesterday's close. 500,000 Bales Change Hands in an Hour. Bull brokers prevented a more yio- lent advance, for they had distributed heayy selling orders every five points up from 15.55 for May and Jury. They sold enormously on this rise, supply- ing the demands from the shorts and also the hurried inrush of buying or- ders from Wall street, Chicago and southern operators, and the local and New England drygoods interests. The market continued in an excited stato to_the close, and the estimates are that 500,000 bales changed hands in the last hour, May closed at 15.67 and July at 15.74. Smallest Crop Since 1903. It was exaotly two o'clock when the MAN OF ECONOMY HAS COME TO THE WHITE HOUSE | And It Is the Duty of Representatives to Back Him Up. Washington, Dec. 10.—“A man'has come to the White house who has some ides. of the value of money and the necessity of saving it,” declared Representative Fitzgerald (New York) in house, today, adding that it was the duty of the house to back up the president in his efforts to econo- mize, It was in opposing an appropriation for a clerk for the house committee on the alcoholic liquor trafflc that Mr. Fitzgerald took the opportunity to re- fer to what he declared was the ex- trayagance practiced under the ad- minfsiration of his old enemy, ex- President - Roosovelt, Representative Sperry of Comnecticut, chairman of that committee, in asking for the ap- propriation, said that last year when he did not need a clerk he was given ome, end that this year he needed one and there was objection to his having the appropriation. The house, by a vote of 153 to 124, decided to allow the committee to re- tain its clerk. ABOLITION OF BEER HALLS AT SOLDIERS’ HOMES. Did Not Make for Sobiety Among the Veterans, Washington, Dec. 10.—~The abolition of beer halls at the national soldier homes did not make for sobriety and religlous observance among the vet- erans, according to the report of the Inspectors, submitted to congress to- day by the secretary of war. This re- port says that there were 1,026 more trials for drunkenness in the various homes in 1909 than there were in 1906, n the beer halls prevailed, or near- 32 per cent. ‘There was one charge of drunkenness Yor every 4.7 men this year, as against bne for every 6.5 men In 1906. “Evidently suppression of beer halls at homes has not tended to promote sobriety, but on the contrary,” says the inspector. Neither did the veterans zo to church more frequently or regularly than when the intoxicating beverages were excessive. In 1906, says the re- ort, the religlous attendance was gfs per cent., and in 1909 it was but 17.97. FIRST AID TO THE INJURED. Heroism of Two New York Women, Names Unknown. New York, Déc. 10.—Mute evidence of the herolsm of two New York wom- en was revealed today in the case of & man supposed to have been John XKeir of Jersey City, who was injured wunder a car and died afterward at a hospital. A number of bandages tight- 1y wrapped about his wounds showed that women tore strips from their un- derskirts for first aid and that while @ policeman was telephoning for an ambulance they personally bound the Jinen in place. The man's leg was al- most severed. The names of the wom- en are unknown. Looks Like Strike of Big Four Teleg- raphers.

Immediately there was a tre- mendous rush of buying. Orders pour- ed from the world over and prices jumped from 20 to 30 points on the first transactions. - [ Fluctua- Tremendous Trading—Rapi tions. Trades made just before the report was announced ‘were on the basis of 15.50 for May deliveries; the next sales were made at 15.70, an advance of $1 a bale, This was followed by tremendous trading, both ways, and by rapid fluctuation: A break to 15.65 followed and then came the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctuated along the same lines, while March reached 15.60 as its high point and closed at 15.40. ‘The government estimate is about 200,000 bales below the.predictions of the most sanguine of the bulls and the action of the market was a natur- al consequence. Previous Crops Underestimated. It now remains to be determined whether the federal estimators have underestimated the yleld, as has been the case for the past ten years. Dur- ing that time the crop has been un- derestimated at from 500,000 to 600,000 bales. MANIAC SHOT DOWN AFTER A LONG CHASE. He Had Escaped from Hospital—Ran Wild for 48 Hours. Shreve, Ohio, Dec, 10.—After murder- ing Sheriff Jacgb Bell of Holmes coun- ty, running will for forty-eight hours and terrorizing the countryside, O. B. Boley, an escaped patient from the Massilon state hospital for the insane, was shot down and captured on_the farm of R. S. Wells, one mile north of here, today. Trailed by posses from Wooster, Mil- lersburg- and other towns, oley ran into and out of traps all day long, standing his pursuers off with his shotgun, escaping them by fleetness of foot. Just at nightfall the Millersburg posse saw running across an open field. 'W. S. Hoover, town marshal, called upon him to hait, and then fired, and the bullet struck him in the abdo- men. He fell to the ground, but fought savagely, kicking, biting and scratching until overpowered. He was brought here and then tuken to Woos- ter and placed in a hospital. Dr. W. C. Paul, who examined his wound here, pronounced it fatal. Boley ran amuck Wednesday night, stayed all night at a farmer's house and shot Sheriff Bell early the next morning when the sheriff came t6 get him. He hid through the day, stayed today, returning to the first one, burn- ed the mattress on which the sherift died. At noon he was reported as in a barn, and the posse asked permission to burn the structure, but a more care- ful examination showed that he was not there. ‘Wooster, Ohio, Dec. 10.—When the train from Shreve bearing O. E. Boley, the wounded maniac, arrived here to- night it was found that he had died on the way. Cost of the Creation of U. S. Court of Customs Appeals.

TWO WOMEN MURDERED IN CITY OF SAVANNAH. Hundred and Fifty Negroes Rounded Up in Hopes of Capturing the Criminal—Bloodhounds at Work. Savannah, Ga., Dee. 10.—Victims of a revolting crime, Mrs. Eiiza Gribble, aged 70 years, and her daughter, A Carrie Ohlander, were found dead thelr home in Perry street, West, here today, while a third woman, whose name is unknown, found just inside the front door of the house, is at the Savannah hospital dying. Physiclans ay that Mrs. Ohlander was the victim of a criminal assault before she was killed. One: hundred and fifty negro men, caught in the meshes of the police drag net through Yamacraw, a negro sec- tion of. the city, are prisoners in the police station, tlie theory of the police ing that a negro man, having plan- ned an assault upon Mrs. Ohlander, was compelled to commit the other crimes to escape. Other arrests will be made until ev- ery negro in the city who in any way resembles the description. of a negro who during the last three days has been seen frequently about the prem- ises of the house of the murdered womien is a prisoner, The police believe that this negro, using an axe taken from the woodshed in the rear of the Gribble home, beat Mrs. Gribble to death, struck down the unknown woman and after assaulting Mrs, Ohlander in the wide, long hall- way where the bodies were found, fin- ished his terrible work by beating in her skull with the implement. Mrs, Gribble was evidently attacked from behind as she sat in an easy chalr reading. On the floor beside her body was found the newspaper she was reading and her spectacles. -One OF possibly two blows were dealt her. Her gray hair, blood matted, shows the indent of the blunt side of the axe head. It is probable that the un- known woman was the first to be struck down; that she met the mur- derer at the door as he_entered and was struck before she could escape. Then the murdered stealthily ap- proached aged Mrs. Gribble and killed her. It is believed that Mrs. Ohlander was attacked as she left her room to enter the hallway and was assaulted and killed. The unknown woman's skull was crushed in and her death is a matter of but a few hours. Other theories are entertained by searchers for the murderer, but the police are proceeding on the theory that a negro is guilty. Many enter- tain this theory and feeling is intense here because of it. The motley horde of prisoners is quiet and frightened in the police station and jail. It is be- lieved that if the negro suspected of the crime is caught he can be quickly identified. Bloodhounds have been at work to take the trail from the woodshed whera the axe was found by the murderer, but as the house is almost in the heart of the city and the murders were prob- ably committed several hours before the discovery of the bodies, the dogs will be of little use. Savannah, Ga. Dec. 10.—Tonight Mayor Tiedman of this city offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of | the negro. The third woman attacked was Mrs, Maggie Hunter and she is at the point of death in Savannah hospital. Persons have been found who state that o certain negro was seen entering the Gribble house with the fatal axe in his hand, and was seen closing the shutters to the windows of the house and to leave the premises, all at the hour when it is believed the murders were committed. This negro's description has been printed on handbills and _scattered broadeast over the city and country. Police officers in automobiles have co ered all the roads for miles surroun ing the city, while posses on foot have scoured the places where automobiles could not go. A. F. OF L. WILL SUPPORT STRIKING SWITCHMEN. This Means That Other Railroad Un- ions May Be Involved. Cincinnati, 0., Dec. 10.—The Ameri- can Federation of Labor will support the railroad switchmen who are on strike in the northwest to the extent of its powers, according to an an- nouncement made tonight by Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, after a long talk with Frank Hawley, president of the Switchmen’s Union of | North America. This is sald to mean that if the rallroads do not concede the demands of the strikers the trouble may spread until it involves other rail- road unlons connected with the Amer- ican Federation of Labor. Mr. Gem- pers refused to say whether there would be an_ extension of the strike, but he sald that after a full investi- gation he was satisfied that the de- mands of the strikers were reasonable and that they would receive the sup- port of all affiliated unions. Mr. Hawley was jubilant over the de- cision of Mr. Gompers. He ridiculed the published assertions of railroad of- ficials that the strike was ended and exclaimed: “They cannot beat us mow that the great Federation of Labor is behind us.” Jail Prisoner Shot and Killed by Dep- uty Warden.

The significance of the verdict lies not so much in the relatively trivial amount of the fine imposed as in the intimation made by John B. Stanch- fleld, of counsel for the defense, that a finding against the company, which he sald supplles 8,000,000 consumers, would mark the first step in its ulti- mate dissolution. The American Ice company, though tried under the laws of New York, was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey for $40,000,000, and was subsequently taken over by the Amer- jcan Ice Securities company of the same state, after a drastic reorganiz- ation.
