 Men Subpoeaned.

Austin, Tex, January 16.-When the Bailey Investigating committee met today ito inquire into the charges of whether or not Mir. Bailey was interested in securing the Waters-Perce Oil Company a permit to do business in the State in violation of the State antitrust laws, the announce ment was made that Representative Me- Fall who was to prefer the charges, was still sick in bed, but that his attorneys would present formal charges during the day MT.

 Mr. McFall sent informal charges to the committee during the day from his sick room, but MT. Bailey interposed protest against their consideration on the ground that they were not sworn to,s His protest was So vigorous that in compliance with the same the committee refused to con- slider the charges or divulge their contents until McFall appears before the committee and swore to them as he is expected to do tomorrow The remainder of today's sess- ion was ,sAent in inquiring into the fact of whether or not the Waters-Pierce OH Company is a trust, the evidence being rather confusing along the line of the va rying opinions of the witnesses examined.

MURDERED GIRL WAS JOLLY DRUNK Remarkable Defense Put Up in
 BOsschieter Case, MEN WERE HUMAN|TAR|ANS They Claim They Were Trying to Save Girl From Disgrace and Had
 Taken Her in Niget Air
 to Revive Her
MEN WERE HUMAN|TAR|ANS

Paterson N J., January 16.-Counsel for the defense in the Jennie Bosschieter mur- der trial today practically closed their case. The plea set up by counsel for the three defendants was general and specific denial of all the accusations made against then. He opened with an attack on the moral character of the dead girl and claimed that the prisoners were in no way responsible for the death of Jennie Boss chieter. He denied that she had been drugged and he denied that she had been illtreated and assaulted.
 McAllister, Death and Campbell were each on the stand. Their testimony was on the line that they were acting on generous impulse when they took the girl out of the saloon to the hack. They claim ed she was jolly drunk for time In the back of Saal's saloon Said that she was laughing after the first drink. Said that she became dopey after drinking the absinthe then became dead drunk. They had thought that a drive In the fresh air would do her good and had taken her across the river. The assault was denied.
 Because She Was Sick.
 They had lifted the girl out of the hack becis4se she was sick and they had con- ducted themselves like humanitarians in their efforts to bring her back to her senses They had taken her to the brook to obtain water. They would have taken her home after she was dead, but when they reached the neighborhood they saw persons about.
 They were frightened at the girl dead and did not want to get mixed up in the scandal. The meeting in the saloon was unintentional so far as McA4lister was concerned and The had drawn his friend Kerr into the case unwittingly. Campbell became mixed in it because Death had not want to be seen on the street the girl lest someone might tell his 41e The story as told by each appeared plausible, but conficted with the testimony of the hack man and the alleged confessions of Death and Campbell as introduced by the State and admitted as evidence. The State, which was beaten yesterday in the effort to introduce the confesson, said to have been made by .Campbelh succeeded in get ting it all in in even more detailed manner than would have been possible yesterday.

London, January 16.-The important news received from Johannesburg that General Dewet has crossed the Vaal and joined forces with the Transvaa1 commanders, if true, probably means the concentration of 1000 Boers with several guns, for another big attack.
 There is rumor current in Cape Town that several Boer leaders are urging an attack upon the mines. It has been long understood that General Dewet has been anxious to join the invaders in Cape Colony and this rumor may be spread to cover attempt to break southward.
 As an outcome of the fact that the Boers in several instances have worn khaki, a government notice has been promulgated in Pretoria prohibiting civilians from wear ing khaki likely to be mistaken for the British uniform that they will render themselves liable to arrest and imprison- ment.

LABOR TRUST NEEDED.
James connor Says the Labor Union Is
 Useless.

St. Louis, Mo-, January 16-At the mass meeting of the Metal Workers of St. Louis and vicinity tonight to listen to the na- tional leaders outline policy for the more perfect affiliation of the different trades unions. James Connor, president of the In- bernational Union of Machinists. said the labor union was of comparatively little use. What was needed was a labor trust, a trust controlling all the countries that labor alone could successfully combat, he said, the trust which controls all the capi- tai. There are 25.00 machinists, he said, all of whom are. allied and ready to com pine in the demand for nine-hour day, which they hope will be extended to them without any strife before July at the latest.

NELL STILL ESTIMATES
 CROP AT 9,75O,0OO BALES

'Te reach 10000, 900 bales the proportion at tho first of January must be 66.08 per cent of the crop.
 What is the chance of that with the above record, knowing, as we do, the ex- tra inducement to early marketing in the prices; knowing, as we do, that southern mills are not stocking up, as they did last year, and knowing, as we do, that export CTS are active buyers? It is true that mer- chant shippers cannot carry cotton on hedges in more distant months, but still. cotton goes at current prices. which are satisfactory to the planter, and any stocks being carried are by few formers. and a large body of country merchants, who. Knowing the crop to be short, are carrying it for higher prices This might be weak feature if the south was not so strong financially. that they command the situa- tion.
