PARKS GUILTY AGAIN
WALKING DELEGATE ExToRTED
$500 FROM TIFFANY STUDIOS.
HE GLARED UPON THE JURY
WHEN ITS VERDICT IN HIS CASE
WAS RENDERED.

The New York Labor Boss Maintain
ed His Defiant Attitude-His SEN
tence Is to BE Imposed "a Week
Hence-It Was shown Clearly That
Parks Had ExtOrted the Money
From the Firm-What He Did
With 1t Did Not Matter.
New York. Oct. 30.--For the second
time within two months Samuel ].
Parks, walking delegate of House
smiths and Bridgemen's Union, Local
No. 2, was convicted of the crime of
extortion in the Court of General Ses-
sions this afternoon.
1t took the jury just twelve minutes,
during which time they took two bal
lots, to agree on the guilt of Parks in
extorting $500 from the Tiffany Studios,
firm of contractors. under threat of
keeping them from continuing work on
buildings last January.
1t was shown at the trial that Parks
had obtained $500 from the Tiffany firm
as an Initiation fee" last January.
when the housesmiths and bridgemen
were on strike on three of the Tiffany
contracts in this city. Parks claimed
that this money was a fine levied by
his union. Later the fact developed
that Parks had been disloyal to his
union, inasmuch as he permitted the
Tiffany firm to employ non-union men
on concern jobs. after having received
the $500.
This accusation was not denied by
the defendant or his counsel during
the trial, but the latter commended that
Parks had given the money to the
treasurer of his organization, and that
the entire transaction was a business
deal, which, instead of being a crime,
afforded considerable business advant-
age to the firm which paid the money.
In his charge, Judge Newberger said
that it made no difference what dispo-
sition Parks made of the money, after
he had obtained it from the representa-
| tives of the Tiffany firm, If in the be-
lief of the jurymen he had obtained it
under a threat, direct or implied, as
that fact would constitute extortion,
the crime charged against the prisoner.
When the jury was polled and the
verdict rendered, Parks glared at the
| jurymen with the same look of def
ance which he maintained during this,
as well as his previous trial. He was
remanded for sentence a week hence.
Parks is now awaiting the decision
of the higher courts on writ of error,
having been sentenced after his first
trial to a term of not less than two
and half nor more than three and a
half years in Sing Sing prison. The
charge on which his former conviction
was secured also was extortion.

Address Upon GLOW to Improve
the Country Home" Advised
Small Farms System.
Macon, Oct. 3O.-Cabaniss Hall, at the
State Fair, was thronged this morn
ing when Mrs. W. H. FELTON, of Bar
tow arose to tell Georgians and other
visitors how to improve the country
home. She started by declaring that
it was first essential to own a home
in order to improve it, saying that it
was not at all sensible to merely rent
a home to improve it.
Mrs. FELTON, was in good form, and
had her subject well in hand. She ad-
vocated small farms and advised her
hearers to keep out of debt and free
from fear of the collector and the law.
She deplored the fact that many plant
ers are now selling or renting their
plantations in sections and moving into
the city. She portrayed her dove for
the old plantation life and for the old
farm itself, and graphically described
the hardships the farmer endured i'm
mediately after the Civil War.
Mrs. FELTON,, speaking Of the farmers
wife, declared that the best neighbor,
the best farmer and the best citizen
was the man who paid respect to his
wife. She compared country life with
city life, the comparison ending in
favor of the country life. She praised
the school system, and asked for an
improvement in it.
Hon. Dudley Hughes, Col. Pendleton
of the Macon Telegraph, Congressman
Bartlett, Judge Speer and Mr.. Ander-
son were the other speakers.

DEATH AND RUIN ARE
CAUSED BY A FIRE.
Destructive Blaze Visits a PhiIadeI-
phfa Mill and Elevator.

Destructive Blaze N1S1ts ~ EhAAsbucA-
phia Mill and Elevator.
Philadelphia, Oct. 9O.-One person
dead and possibly two, a dozen persons
injured and a property loss of more
than 5000, 900 is the result of a fire,
which occurred at noon to-day. The
dead:
Charles Messmer, aged 16 years.
Missing: Harry McWilliams,
roofer.
The buildings destroyed were the
flour mill of W. S. woodward & Sons
and the Baltimore and Ohio grain ele-
vator, which adjoined the Woodward
structure. The wagon works of H.
Kaiser & Co. were damaged by wall
falling on the roof.
The fire began in a frame building be-
tween the flour mill and grain eleva-
tor and rapidly spread to those build
ings. Eight men were working on the
roof of the grain elevator when the
fire began, and seven of them are
known to have made their escape. The
eighths, McWilliams, cannot be found,
and it is believed his body is in the
ruins.
The grain elevator wall fell on the
roof of the wagon works and buried
nearly a dozen men under the debris.
All were rescued except Messmer, an
apprentice who was found dead under
a great mass of debris.

COTTON CROP ABOUT
SAME AS LAST YEAR.
That Is the Estimate That Is Made
by Bradstreet's.


New York. Oct. 30.-This years cot
ton crop is estimated to be no larger
than. if it equals, that of last year,
which was 1922, 900 bales, according to
a special report TO be issued tomorrow
by Bradstreets. The report, which is
based on special inquiry made by
Bradstreet's correspondents throughout
the South, will say:
ITO the main leading question as to
the probable yield this year as COM
pared with last, the unanimity of the
opinion pointing to a yield below that
of 1902 is notable. Two states, Ala
balna and Louisiana, report probable
increase in production. Texas shows
much diversity of opinion, the net re-
suit being a crop about equal to last
year, While the other states report de-
creases. most notable in South Caro-
lima, Mississippi and Tennessee, with
smaller reductions in North Carolina,
Georgia, Arkansas and Florida.
Three-fourths of the questions point
to the belief that no top crop worth
mentioning will be gathered, but the
answers to the question of grading the
SA@PAe SiOW IL " NC pelteI DIS d WHOle
than last year. Although the general
concensus of opinion is that the crop
will be smaller than a year ago, it is
pointed out that the higher price ruling
the advance on last year being l to IL
cents, makes the crop, potentially, as
valuable, in q money way, as a year
ago.
Making all allowances for under es-
timation, the reports as a whole point
to yield in bales no larger, if, in
deed, it quite equals that of last year,
which saw commercial crop of 49,
900 bales marketed. ="

VERDICT OF $4,000 FOR
A BREACH OF PROMISE,

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. SO.-Miss
Henrietta Adams of Caseville, Mich,
was to-day given a verdict Of $4,000
against Robert Stuart Baker, a we'll
known young society man of this city,
for breach of promise.
The trial has been one of the most
sensational in the history of Western
Michigan. The romance which led up
to Bakers proposing marriage to the
young woman began when both were
students at Olivet College. Several
hundred letters, written to Miss Adams
by Baker, were read in court, and a
number from the young woman to the
defendant were also introduced as evil
dence. Bakers letters were, many of
them, very sensational and improper.
The jury decided that Baker fraudu-
lently made the contract of marriage
with the purpose of seduction, and that
he afterwards ratified it with the same
purpose.

WESLEYAN ALUMNAE
GIVE $4,38O FOR A HALL
1t Is to BE a Memorial to Susannah
Wesley.


Wesley.
Macon, Oct. 3O.-In a spontaneous
outburst of enthusiasm the Wesleyan
alumnae this afternoon pledged $43S0
+ for the Susannah Wesley Memorial
Hall, the Atlanta Chapter subscribing
81, 900 of the sum.
When President Query arranged
for the. reunion Of the graduates he
did not contemplate subscription
during it's session, his idea being to in
terest the alumnae, to form plans and
later to ask for the money needed to
erect the hall the association should
agree upon. But while the resolutions
presented by the Atlanta Chapter were
being read a feeling of enthusiasm
manifested itself, and as the reading
ceased Mrs. Truitt of Atlanta arose
and gave the first subscription. Her
action instantly became contagious,
ready for the building.
The subscriptions ranged from SIS to
800, barring two gifts of $1,000 each.
The Atlanta Chapter, composed of 200
members, with a delegation of forty
on the floor, asked to be put down for
81, 900.
The society convened in the college
chapel at o'clock this morning, with
Mrs. ]. B. Cobb, it's president, in the
chair. A brilliant and happy pro-
gramme was presented, music-vocal
and MISUNDERSTANDING in between
the interesting and entertaining ad-
dresses. 'Wesleyan's Place Among
the Colleges" was Miss Matibel Popes
theme. Miss Pope's home is in Ma
con. She is a graduate Of the '02
class, and delighted her audience with
her comparison of the great work
done by Wesleyan and by other col
leges.
Miss Bessie Houser of the same
class was happy in her musical rendi-
ton, but the feature Of the session
was the appearance of Mrs. Catherine
Benson of Macon, the oldest graduate
of Wesleyan, the woman who carries
the distinction of holding the first d.
ploma ever issued graduate of a fe-
male college. Mrs. Benson came from
Wesleyan with her diploma in 1910,
and during her review of the old
schools history she was in good voice
and form. Her recital was full of
charm and interesting to all.
Mrs. f. G. Dowdell Of Auburn, Ala,
entertained the assembly with rem
iniscent talk on Wesleyan.
The alumnae adjourned this after
noon. all feeling 1t was good to have
been here.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Boston. Oct. SO.-Standing before a
United States commissioner to-day,
Vahtan Krikorian, the Armenian poet,
journalist and orator, who was arrest
ed yesterday upon his arrival from
London, demanded to know on what
charge he was being held.
Upon being told that he was charged
with being a fugitive from justice be-
cause of having committed political
murder" Krikorian demanded proof.
This the commissioner was unable to
give at this time, and asked Krikorian
to plead. Krikorian pleaded mot gull
ty." Pending the arrival of direct
charges, Krikorian was sent back to
the Jail.
To the police, Editor Kureghian of
Young Armenia" stated that Kriko-
rian is the head of the London Central
Committee, and that it was he who or
dered kureghians murder and at
tempted personally to assassinate him
several months ago when he was edit
ing a paper in London.

Weeks After He Was Struck.

DIR. Howard of Macon Dies Two
Weeks After He Was Struck.
Macon, Oct. 3O.-Dr. Newsome How
ard, for years a leading and success
full veterinary surgeon of Macon, is
dead at his home, 54S Oak street. Two
weeks ago DR.. Howard became involv-
ed in a quarrel with Ed. Foster, a
boy, IS years of age, whose father is
now serving a term for bigamy. Fos-
ter struck DR.. Howard over the left
eye with brick, crushing in the side
of his face. The wound was not con-
sidered fatal at that time, and as the
doctor continued to improve his re-
covery was freely predicted by his at
tending surgeons. This afternoon he
began sinking and at dark died.
The surgeons are divided as to
whether death came from a complica-
ton of diseases manifesting after Fos-
ter used the brick.
Foster left the city Immediately after
inflicting the wound, and is still at
large.
