arrest of my son." said the former Sec
rotary of the Treasury to The Evening
World reporter, ut has been done as
a part of a blackmail scheme. My son
has ample means 10 meet any legiti-
mate Indebtedness, and ] know he would
not offer a check which was worthless.
II he gave the check It was a good one.
II IL Is a bad check, 1t is a forgery, The
fact that a woman secured the warrant,
saying the check was given to her,
makes me favor the blackmail theory.
Il shall not go to Chicago TO adjust
matters, nor shall l take any hand in

competent to care for himself, l am

The warrant was issued In Chicago on
the complaint of a woman who called
herself Eva Iowery. She said young
Gage had given her the check, and that
when she presented 1t at the bank they
told her he had no funds there.
After the warrant was issued Ell Gage
was seen AT his home, He would dis

Gov. Kimball a not in court. He
was represented by Lawyer Leavftt
j. Hunt. who also represented Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Hunt said to Magistrate
Flammer:
This man Power approached Gov.
Kimball last April with n plan for or
ganizing the New England M%anufactur-
ers' Association. He said that all the
Governors of the New England States
would go into the scheme. Upon his
representations Gov. Kimball bought
twenty shares OF stock at 800 n share
and was elected President of the con-
cern.
AT that time the Exporters Associa-
ton OF America In this city was in a
bad way. We have evidence to show
that the money which should ave been
put into the %organizat ton of the New
England Manufacturers Association was
used to bolster up the New York con
Germ run by Power"
That's n lie," shouted Power.

CROP MAY Be

Expert Price Thinks the Agri-
cultural Department Has
Underestimate the Yield
at the Present Time.

Theodore IL. Price, the cotton expert,
SAYS that the report of the Agricultural
Department on the condition of the cot
ton crop does act accurately portray the
situation.
Il am constrained to believe" sal
Mr.. Price, that the Department has
certainly. though honestly, understated
the conditions of the cotton crop at the
present time.
MY own Investigations have con-
WINGED me that the area now planted
in cotton in the United States could.
under perfect conditions, produce a crop
of 100000 bales.

we would certainly get a crop of 1000

Why Call Money Is Lou.

Bankers are apprehensive Of ex-
cessive money rates if the speculative
community enlarges very much its
present scope. Commission houses
are trying hard to acquire a big line
Of time money that will carry them
beyond the first of the new year.
Just at the time in the early fall that
the market will broaden in volume
the demands for money will be strong
from half a dozen sources and ra es
will necessarily go much higher.
Houses which have on hand an over
supply of time money are utilizing it
and the call money market, and thus
the call rate is being kept very low
for this period of the year.

FIGHTING THE ErinEMlc.

Brighton stockyards at Boston
 auarantined Because sx Disease.
 BOSTON, Nov. 2S--The order ef the secretary of agriculture placing an em- bargo on the shipment of cattle from the port of Boston and declaring in quarantine cattle and swine of Yer mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut gives assistance to the Massachusetts cattle commission in it's effort to stamp out the epidemic of foot and mouth disease in this state. At the same time the order threatens curtailment of the foreign commerce porarily cut of the Shipment to Eu. rope of an average of 2,500 head of cattle week.
 The order. follows one issued by the state commissioners quarantining the Brighton stockyard, which is the clearing house for the Boston milk dis trict and to which the foot and mouth disease has been traced.
 Going back still further, the local authorities believe that the disease came originally from southern Rhode Island and was brought to Brighton by cows known as "strippers"
 Since then the disease has broken out in herds of cows in dozen towns in Middlesex and Worcester counties, from which sections the great bulk of the milk supply of Boston is received.
 It is with the hope of preventing further infection, especially in the western part of the state, and of sta amplng out the disease where it now exists that the department of agricul- ture and the state authorities have joined hands.
