NELSON NOT IN COURT,
pORFBITS $4,000 BONDS
Is Later Delivered to Author
tiles by Bondsmen.
Taken Into Custody on Warrant Issued
by Judge Love-John Tighe Ar
raigned On Ten Charges.

John c. Nelson, who was under $4,000
bond TO appear for trial yesterday to
answer several charges of arson. in con-
nection with setting on fire the gam
bling resorts in jackson City on the
night of July Il, failed to appear. and
his bondsmen must suffer as result.
Judge Love ordered the bonds be for
feited The bondsmen are Messrs. John
Harlow and William W. Duncan, of AL
exandria City. Judge Love dispatched
a special messenger to Alexandria and
had the matter OF the forfeiture of the
bonds put on record. This was done. ii
is said, to prevent either of the bonds
men transferring their properties to
anyone else in the hopes of getting out
Of paying the forfeited bonds.
Bondsmen Notified.
Nelson's bonGsmen were notified o:
the forfeiture. Judge Love issued n
bench warrant for the arrest OF Nelson,
a number Of deputies to search for the
missing man His bondsmen hunted Mel
son up and took him across the Aque-
cuct bridge to the Virginia shore about
s O'Clock. The three men were met by
the sheriff and his deputies. Nelson was
turned over to them. The sheriff con-
yeyed the prisoner to ihe jail at Fort
Myer, and he was once mere lodged be
hind the bars. His arrest yesterday was
Lot on the charge of arson. but upon a
bench warrant issued by Judge Love,
charging him with being a fugitive from
Justice. Nelson spent the night in Jail
II is exceedingly doubtful if lie will be
released again on bonds.
There is much speculation among
friends of the accused. and those versed
in the Virginia law as TO whether the
bondsmen will be compelled to forfeit
their property. Nelson is in the hands
OF the authorities now. but that fact
does not suffice the Virginia people
Judge Love stated that the $4,000 had
been forfeited. which ended that matter
No Reason for Eon-Appearance.
1t was stated by friends of the ac-
cused that he had assigned no reason
for not appearing for trial. It is be-
lived that there must have been some
misunderstanding between counsel and
the prosecuting attorney as TO the time
the case would be called.
John Tighe. who is implicated with
Nelson. was brought over from TAIL. and
arraigned on ten separate indictments.
Through his attorney. Mr.. r. C. l.. Mon
cure. a motion was made to quash the
indictments, but this was overruled BY
the court. Hearing in the case was set
for the August term. which begins the
fourth Monday.

EMPLOYMENT AGENCY
PROPRIETOR ARRESTED
IS Charged With False
Fretenses.
Samuel R. Gallagher Alleged to Have
Received Money From Robert Nc
Clure for a Position.

Detectives McNamee and Helan yes
terday afternoon arrested Samuel R.
Gallagher, proprietor OF an employment
agency at 69l F Street northwest. on
two warrants charging false pretense.
The compliments are Robert Mcclure.
2003 Eighth Street northwest, and Peter
CALDWELL
The police believe they have evidence
to break up one OF the numerous alleged
fraudulent agencies that have preyed
upon unfortunate people out Of work.
Captain Boardman stated last night that
one, and he believes a conviction will
follow. II is the case instituted by
Mr.. Mcclure in which the police have
the greatest confidence.
McClure's Complaint.
II is charged that Mr.. Mcclure paid
Gallagher 50 On August 8. under a pos
itive agreement that the fee was paid
in consideration of his securing a po-
sition that would pay him IS a week
and his board. When he called upon
the man named in the verbal agreement,
Mr. Mcclure was told that help was not
needed, and that Gallagher had not been
authorized to use his name in any man
ner.
Mr.. Mcclure called upon Gallagher in
response to an advertisement for men.
He says he was told by Mr.. Gallagher
that a position paying IS week would
be given him, but that he must pay a
fee OF 81. Mr.. Mcclure did not have the
money. but ne went to friend to borrow
IL. This friend telephoned to Gallagher
asking If the position was still open.
and was told that IL was. The friend
then advanced the necessary money, and
Mr. Mcclure went TO Gallagher's Office
and paid the amount, with the result
stated.
Did Little Business.
Gallagher has desk room at the ad-
dress given. The detective searched his
uffice outfit and found only few circu-
lars and contracts. Apparently the
business was not an extensive one. or
the supplies of the Office had run very
low.
Many complaints have been filed with
| the police relative TO employment
agency frauds, but usually 1t is found
that the contract signed by she alleged
victim contains some saving clause that
renders conviction impossible.

Hillary E. Royer, a French Canadian,
twenty-five years old, who came here
. from New Hampshire He was cap
! tured in the Senate reception room.
where he was eadeavoring to get a
delegation of Senator's to accompany
him to the White House in order that he
might get an interview with President
Roosevelt. Roger explained ths: he came
here to avert a great national calamity.
He said Turkey was preparing to declare
war against the United States and that
] 'one million American lives would be
sacrificed before we could fire a gun un-
less he could see the President quickly
He was turned over to the Metropolitan
Police Department
Visit of Prince Henry.
During Prince Henry's visit to the Cap
itol the police found a strange looking
young woman in the rotunda awaiting
his arrival She had a great roll of
manuscript, which. she said. contained
one hundred verses of poem she had
dedicated to the German prince. The
young woman also announced her in
tention of holding up his highness un-
I'll she read the verses TO him. The po-
lice hustled the woman out OF the build
ing before the prince arrived.
Another queer character who frequent
ed the Capitol announced himself as
Colonel Doctor Baker" He always
wore big bunch of wild flowers on the
lapel Of his coat, and claimed to be su-
perintendent OF the Government Hos
pital for the Insane.
Captain Megrew states that the
greatest crush in the Capitol on rec

FRIARS STILL HOLD
LANDS In ARCHIPELAGO
Past Sales of Property Will
Not Affect Negotiations.
War Department Officials Have Known
for Some Time of American Mi
nority Stockholders.

The fact that the Philippine friars
have transferred their titles to the lands
held by them throughout the archipela-
go is not new to the War Department
officials, and was we'll known to Gov
erDor Taft at the time he conducted
regulations with the Vatican. Accord
ing to the best OF authority at the War
Department the status of affairs in
reference to this Government getting
control of the lands is in no way altered
by the transfer of the titles.
The United States Government has In
its possession information showing that
the friars stilI hold majority and con-
trolling interest in the stock of the cor
porations that now hold the titles. In
his testimony before the Senate Com
mittee on the Philippines during the last
session OF Congress Governor Taft said,
in speaking of this matter:
Protest Filed.
Il wish to say that one of these COM
panies, or a stockholder of one of the
companies, has filed protest with the
acting governor. which l have with me.
against the condemnation of these lands
because of the interest some individual
owners have in them. But want to add
that | don't think that protest has sufff-
Gent weight 20 vary tie truth OF my
statement tha. the commission has
reasonable ground to believe that with
the authority which it asks. TO wit. to
issue bonds, il can at reasonable prices

dispatches, that this Government was
not cognizant Of the facts during the
negotiaticns with the Vatican

Much Higher Prices
for Cotton Predicted,

New York, Oct. 3.-The United States
government report on the condition of
the cotton crop issued to-day shows an
average condition throughout the cot
ton-producing area of 58.3, as against
Ola last year, when the actual pro-
duction was about ten million bales.
81 in 1900, when the production was TO-
100000, ga in 1899, when the crop was
100000, and 60.7 in 1896, when the crop
was 100000. The condition in Texas
is AZ, as against 81 last year, rs in 1900
Sc in 1899 and 81 in 1896. The condi-
ton of the whole belt, therefore. is q
per cent. below the previous low rec
ord, while the condition in Texas is 4
per cent. below the previous low rec
ord. There is no escape from the con-
clusion that these figures point to an
exceedingly small crop in my opinion,
not over 95O0,O0O, and there is further
no escape from the conclusion that such
a supply is entirely inadequate for the
demands at present prices, and that
cotton must go very much higher.
1 therefore repeat the advise l have
previously offered to Southern holders
and producers of cotton, and again
urge them not to be influenced by
passing speculative Hurr1eS into an &C
ceptance of any lower prices for their
cotton than the situation justifies.
/ feel entirely confident that cotton
will, this year, sell at 10 cents pound.
Interested parties on the New York
Cotton Exchange, which is an Ameri-
can institution composed of American
members and dealing in American
product, have misconceived and may
continue to misconceive their own best
interests, and that of the trade they
represent by attempting to discredit
the agricultural department, and to
depress the price of cotton, but this
time the facts are against them and
within reasonable limitations those
who have sold cotton which they do
not possess, and those who have 1t to
buy for consumption, must pay the
price which producers, in view of the
extraordinary situation, are entitled to
demand. Theodore H. Price.-ad.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Oct. 3.-The disposition
was to support the market on the re-
sumption of business to-day because of
quite satisfactory cables, dispatches of
the great loss by heavy rains in Tex
as and the possibility of very bullish
figures from the bureau at noon, de-
spite Alabama reports claiming decid-
ed improvement during September and
more or less similar advices from some
other sections. Bears pointed to the
weekly figures from Liverpool, which
showed a loss in stock of l., 900, in
dicated $4,000 increase in the movement
afioat. Large shipments booked ahead
will undoubtedly swell the afloat stock
from now on, but even with these con-
ditions unreasonable to look for an
tagonistic operations across the ocean.
Conservative people are confident of a
short crop and a higher market and
the volume of cotton moving the past
few days encourages this belief The
main question, however, is the date Of
frost. Pending the receipt of bureau
figures the market ruled quiet After
the first hour numerous reports came
in of big rains and damage in Arkan-
sas and Texas. The bureau figures of
$50 gave the market a fresh lift when
announced and shorts FASTENED to COW
er, since no such low condition has
been expected. Port receipts, $4,000:
last year, rs, 900.
