Various confessions and affldavits indicate
that the downfall Of Parks. the walking dele

an inordinate thirst for champagne. Had he
been moderate in the outlay for his potations
and confined his indulgence to beer. he might
perhaps have been less adventurous. extensive
and presumptuous in his Matchmaking opera
tions. Long ago a Wall Street wit bewaiIed
his fate because he had champagne warnings

Exciting iurries in cotton speculation and eff
forts to organize new corners" will not be ad-
vantageous In the long run to the plantations
of our Southern States. 1t is we'll known that
corners in staple products rarely fill the pock-
cts of producers. Spectators get hold or the
crops at moderate figures. and then send prices
soaring, while the cultivators OF the land gaze
agape. Nothing can be palmer and surer than
this: IN Africa and in Asia prodigious guam
titles of cotton can be grown at profit II
prices in Liverpool remain at sxyscraping quo
tations. Therefore Americans should be wary.

DID HE KILL his FArHERa
Earl Ellsworth Charged with Causing His
Parents Death TO Obtain His Life
~ Insurance. fN

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Earl Ellsworth,
aged "a years, was arrested here yes
terday as the result Of an alleged con-
fession which detectives obtained by
pretending to be his friends. Eighteen
months ago at Woodstock, ILL.,. Ben
jamin Ellsworth, Earl's father, find
ing his wife in company with Amos
Anderson, shot and killed both and
then, according to Earl Ellsworth. who
gave the police the story, the old man
committed suicide. Earl admitted hav-
ing advised his father to kill the
couple and at the time was arrested
as an accessory, but was allowed to
go, public sentiment generally being
In his favor.
An insurance company, however, be-
ing liable for $1,000 insurance which
the elder Ellsworth carried, decided 70
investigate further. The talk which
young Ellsworth had with the de-
tectves and which was overheard by
witnesses secreted In an adjoining
room, is said to have cleared Ellis
worth's mother Of the charge Of faith
lessness and to have left open to doubt
the statement that the senior Ellsworth
killed himself. 1t Is said there was
conspiracy to obtain the insurance
money. Earl Ellsworth and two prom
inent citizens of Woodstock being In
volved, and that young Ellsworth's
alleged conversation with his supposed
friends, who claimed to be helping
him to avoid impending arrest, leaves
open to grave question the statement
that the killing Of Anderson and Mrs.
Ellsworth was by the older Ellsworth.
