HousToN, TEX, Sept. I.-Mr r. NJ.
Humphrey, superintendent of the cotton
pickers' league. told your reporter to-day
that l, 100 eco men would quit the cotton
fields tomorrow and not return 10 work IN
III the planters agree 10 pay 81 4 hundred
for picking
The most searching inquiry at many
points throughout the South las failed 10
develop the fact that there is anything OF i
formidable nature in the cotton pickers'
league
In the most sang froid manner possible
he said the commerce of the world VIII be
affected, and made other equally as aston
lshlng statements.
What is the strength of the league at
this time?' asked the reporter
MIR. Humphrey stopped to consider 4
moment, then replied THAI there were about
l,lOO, 900 pledges on record
DO YOU apprehend that there will be a
general suspension Of work.
1T is hardly business for NE to express
an opinion as TO that came the answer in
Slow, wei studied words. No: / think it
not best to say what my belief is. The cot
ton pickers will not quit until evening"
rs there any talk Of Il compromises
Several have asked to go to work at 20
and 40 cents Il hundred, and wanted permits
sion TO make Il compromise at that price
Will you permit an agreement of this
kind.''

point, and l did not desire to do so. have

Not as an organization.
rs there an oath of secrecy to bind the
leaguerS together
There IS 10 oath except one of honor
The pickers simply agree among themselves
to not pick for less than 81 4 hundred
There is no secrecy, no obligation. no
entrance fee, or ything of the kind >
Il fear this movement was started too
late III the season. he remarked. If we
had gotten to work Il month earlier we
would have shaken up the commerce of the
world. As IL is it will affect il.
He was asked why it was that none of
the negroes could be made to talk about the
leagues.
1t Is because they are keeping their
mouths shut. | cannot get any of them to
talk about il until give them the grip
Then there is a secret grip or sign2'
and the reporter was then wondering what
was intended when ne said the league was
not secret society and the next instant ac-
knOwledged 1t had secret grips and signs.

WERE THEY JESUITS?
MISS VERA AVA TURNS UP IN
CINCINNATI.
She Tells a Remarkable Story of Her Ex-
perience in the Jesuit College.
Is She Insane?
Miss Ava's Story.

CINCINNATI OHIO, Sept. l2.-The identity
of the woman who SO mysteriously disap-
peared at the JeSuitical college in Chicago
on Wednesday evening with the one who
mysteriously appeared last night in this
city at Klayer's drug store is fully estab-
lished by the description of her given by
Mrs. Bolton of Chicago. There is
a deep scar under the eye, the
growth of hair on slight mole
the bright blue eyes and the entire descrip-
ton closely responds to the woman who
was taken before Col. Haze8 of the police
force this morning, to whom she told her
story in almost the identical language she
used last night. Finding no cause for
holding her, the chief of police directed
that she be taken back to the house of de-
tention TO await some action by er,,friends.
When seen by an Associated Press re-
porter to-day Miss Ava was seated on the
side of a cane bottomed lounge, her stock
ing feet barely reaching to the floor. She
was wearing a pale-blue calico wrapper
given her here, and had a small-check scarf
about her shoulders. She was entirely
self-possessed in manner, cordial, affable
and dignitied.
Tell Mrs Bolton,'' said she, land this
will identify me better than anything else,
that the 5000 in money and in coupons was
in her Satchel not mine. and they took 1t
and its contents. Mrs. Bolton will know
from tnlS tnat an MISS ava.
She went on to say that she went
TO the college to attend to a matter
of business. She carried the money to pay
little Jesuitical tariff "a La Mckinley
They demanded that she publicly renounce
her Methodist faith and return to the
church. Refusing she was struck heavily
on the left breast by man whom she de-
scribes as being very large. Be

A BROTHERLY WARNING.
The Humphrey Scheme and Humphrey
Himself Denounced. and by Ne
sro-Some Good Advice.
Special TO the Gazette.

HoUsToN, Tex, Sept. 10.-Andrew }.
Carothers, for years at the head of tha
colored Alliance in the South, is out in al
open letter to TO his people, warning them
against the Humphrey scheme of demand
ing exorbitant prices for cotton picking.
He denounces the author of the scheme as
well as the plan itself, and urges the
negroes to live in harmony with the white
farmers, alleging the closely interwovcn in
terest of the two classes as reason il a
business-like manner, and the danger Of
stirring up strife as further incentive to
peace and quiet in all particulars. He says
if cotton was bringing 10 or II cents, bet
ter price for picking could in justice be de-
manded, but at the present rate no man can
pay an advance.
Carothers is a most Influential man, and
his warning will have great weight
