MUMMY INSTEAD OF DYNAMITE

1t was not for dynamite that the En-
glish Custom House officials searched the
Pinkstonian American officials trunk, but
for the mummy of Eliza Pinkston, which
he carries with him as a mascot. The
Pinkstonian does not carry dynamite,
which the English knew, but their search
was for the mascot which he is supposed
to carry with him, the mummy of Eliza
Pinkston. This was an outrage on the
part of the Free Trade" England Off
cials, and it is no wonder the "honest F"
Pinkstonian was almost mad enough to
thrash the British lion and all its cubs.

THE CRoNIN CASE.
1t will not be Ready for Trial Before
August.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 3O.-States
Attorney Longeneeker said to-day: 81
doubt if everything will be in readiness
for the Cronin trial before August. and
the court takes its vacation during that
month. but the vacation might be waived
in order to try this case. At present
cannot tell with any greater definiteness
when the trial will be held. All of the
indicted men VIII be tried together, of
that L am confident, notwithstanding
that a fight will undoubtedly be made by
the accused for separate trials.
There was rumor to-day
that Kunz, the German sus-
pect, was one of the mysterious
witnesses whom the authorities smuggled
into the grand jury room without their
identity becoming known. The theory
is that Kunz has long been in custody,
and will be produced at the trial as wit
ness for the state. Very little credence
is given the report. Michael Con-
ley, rolling mill employe who
was arrested last night for being drunk
and disorderly is being examined by the
police as possible Cronin murderer.
Conley cannot account satisfactorily for
his whereabouts about the time of the
tragedy, but otherwise nothing sus-
picious was learned by pumping him.

The Character of the Industries More Substan-

Statistics.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. June 30.-The
Tradesman OF July will publish state
ment showing the industrial situation in
the South as exhibited by the number OF
new industries established during the last
three months.
1t shows that during the past quarter
1921 new industries have been estab-
lished, against $50 in the previous
quarter.
There were I'LL new enterprises begun
during the first six months of 1889,
against 1890 for the corresponding period
of the previous year, showing that the
South is going ahead at a more rapid rate
than ever before.
What is more significant, says the
Tradesman, is the fact that the character
of the industries is of a more substantial
character, and is on much better basis
than in previous years.

Fleecy Staple
MEMPHIS, Tenn. /, June 30.-The reg
ular monthly crop report for the Mem
phis district, which embraces West Ten
nessee, North Mississippi, North Arkan-
sas and North Alabama, to be pub
lished tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine s.
Co., viii say: The weather during June
was in the main unfavorable for COT
ton. The complaint is general of
too much rain and crops are
badly in the grass. The stands as rule
are very irregular. Early is good, but the
late planting of cotton was affected
by the drouth which prevailed during
May, and the result is that fully one-half
of the crop is late, generally about two
weeks later than last years. The i'm
perfect stands taken together with the
lateness of the crop and the nafavor-
able weather that prevailed during the
month makes the outlook anything but
favorable for the cotton crop.
