IN MURDER CASES
Several Such Bills Returned by Grand
Jury.

Among the new arrivals at the coun-
ty Jail yesterday was "Cap" Jordan,
Jordan was the man behind the axe in
the alleged assault upon Deputy G. E.
Bass in the killing of Bill Jordan on
Tuesday evening.
The Times Recorder yesterday told
the complete story of the killing of
Jordan in resisting arrest at the hands
of Deputy Bass.
His son, Cap Jordan, afterwards fig
ured in the bloody tragedy.
It is said that he grasped the axe
from the hands of his dead parent and
made an attack upon Deputy Bass, bat
without serious result. Yesterday the
grand jury indicted Cap Jordan for at
tempted murderous assault.
He was captured and is now in Jail
awaiting trial next week.
Two indictments against negroes for
murder straightout were also returned,
the defendants being Eugene Crershaw
and Henry Brown,
Brown will answer for the shooting
of negro girl, Ida HoltoD, on The John
son plantation in the past summer. He
is out upon bond of 81, 900 until his
case is entered upon.
Gene Crenshaw, five cents negro,
killed another buck in q crap game, all
about nickel
The negroes, with others, were "skin-
ming" with cards out on the Hodges
plantation on a Sunday in May last,
when in dispute over a nickel Cren-
shaw put his gun in motion and there
was funeral next day
Ctenshaw fed the scene, but has
since been arrested and is now in the
Americas bastiIe.

CRUSHING EFFECT OF DECLINE
Farmers Here Lose Large Amounts In
Slump.


AS If there was no bottom to be
reached, the cotton market continued
to tumble yesterday, blasting the hopes
OF many holders of cotton who had
kept their bales with the expectation
of getting ten cents at later date.
But there will be no more ten cents
cotton this good season.
There has been ten cents period
an eleven cents period-this season, but
not now. And it will probably be 9
long time ere this ere of good times in
cotton prices comes again.
Eight cents was yesterdays prices
possibly 81 for the finer grades that
were offered.
Cotton dealers hoped for react or
yesterday, but it came not. Every tel
egraphic report was schedule of lower
prices. and gradually values melted
away. The loss for the "A hours was
thirty points on January.
That option closed yesterday at S. So
a loss of about $50 points, or 81. so pei
bale from the top.
Ann the wise ones fear that the enc
of the decline is not in sight.
The feature most regretted is the
fact that SO mary farmers here still
hold large portions of their cotton
crop One farmer here has $50 bales
unsold. A worthy negro farmer here
yesterday had 70 bales ON hand.
One or two large farmers have lost
from So, 900 up, by holding.
There may be an advance in values
next spring, but no one looks for an
advancing market during December.
The bears have entire control of the
situation, and there is no bull strength
now to support the market.
Receipts in Americus continue light
the crop being about all in.

The finest contour of a female face, the

hair, where 1t saps the vitality The lit

dandruff permanently, then, and to stop

New York and Aloyzy S. Borkowski Of
Galicia, Austria. The first wrestle
with the unpronounceablen names was
had In Judge Kerrigan's court yester-

TO FIND Dove
Bate Murder Case Becomes a
Hunt for the Man Who
Rented the Automobile
BOY HEARD THE SHOTS
After Assertions and De-
malls He States That Mo-
tor Passed Him on Road

CHICAGO, Nov. Pho clews devel-
oped to-day in the case of the murder
of Chauffeur Bate, who was killed
three days ago. The officers are stiR
seeking diligently for Dove, the man
who hired the automobile, but appar-
emily have not succeeded in gaining
any knowledge of his Whereabouts. The
case has settled down to man hunt,
with few facts upon which the search
can be directed.
John Henness, the young man who,
last night and this morning. was
thought to have valuable information
regarding the murder, has announced
that he knows nothing of it. He was
credited with statements TO the effect
that he had seen the murder; that he
had seen the flash of the revolver and
heard the shots that took the life of
Bate, but later he declared he had seen
none of these things. Tonight, how
ever. he said he saw an automobile pass
along the road and that it contained
three people. After it had passed him
by about a quarter of a mile he heard
two shots, but paid no attention to
them until the next morning when he
heard of the murder. This story, Hen
ness says, is the truth. He declared
that the reason why he denied his first
young woman whose parents had OBJ
jected to his being with her and he did
not wish to create any trouble for her.

INHERITANCE TAX UPON
DOUGLAS ESTATE APPRAISED
f.. c. Harrison Reports to Court That
State Should Receive S31, ,746 30
From Nevada Heirs.

The State of California is entitled TO
S31.746 80 from William ]. and Rob-
ert L. Douglas of Nevada, heirs of the
late ]. NJ. Douglas, according to the
report of Edward c. Harrison, who
was appointed as appraiser of the col
lateral inheritance tax due from the
estate. Mr.. Harrison recited all of the
legal proceedings gone through since
October to determine the value OF
the estate, which was removed from
this city to Nevada by the heirs. After
overcoming the difficulties he dis
covered that Douglas left property in
this State valued at $642,207 20, and
with allowance for expense of admin
istration and other things, the dis
tributive portion subject to the tax
would be S634,926 II, which was left
share and share alike to the two heirs.
The largest item of value was that of
1920 Spring Valley shares, appraised
a. SASS, 900.
The objections of the heirs to the
taxation in this State were attached
to the report. They contended that
Douglas had for twenty years been
resident of Virginia City, New, and
was here on a visit when he was taken
i'll and died. The property consisted
of stocks and bonds on deposit in bank
and they aver that in law it was owned
az his place of residence in Nevada
and therefore could not be taxed here.
They hold also that as there has been
no decree. of distribution it could not
be determined what amount was due.

LAWSON DEFIES
HIS MANY FOES
Filing of Mysterious Suit
Against the Boston Man
Promises New Sensation
ITS NATURE IN DOUBT
Multi Millionaire in Signed
Statement Connects 1t
With His Recent Writings

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Suit has been
brought by Paul Fuller of this city
against Thomas w. Lawson of Boston
for $3.50, 900. Fuller, who is an attor-
ney, said that he himself was the
plaintiff in the suit, but as TO the ma
ture of the proceedings. or the cause,
he declined TO have anything to say.
1t was reported that Lawsons recent
writings had caused the bringing of
the suit, but this was denied by Fuller.
The latter is a member of the law firm
of Coudert Brothers. Lorenzo Semple
of the law firm said that the suit was
over a private transaction between
Lawson and Fuller. and had nothing
to do with the Boston mans writings.
BOSTON, Nov 22.-Thomas W. Law
son issued tonight a signed statement.
which, however, beyond the inference
contained in the opening sentence,
throws little light upon the origin or
nature of the suit or suits brought
against him. Lawson refers to pres
sure being brought at Washington in
an effort TO exclude from the mails his
writings on finance. He expresses the
opinion that such a proceeding would
not be permitted by the postal authorl-
ties. Says he:
