MARRY NE, He SAID
Because She Preferred
Dishonor to Wifehood He
Shot Himself.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. because a wo-
man with whom he had lived at a
Lexington Avenue Hotel for several
weeks repeatedly refused his requests
that a marriage ceremony be per-
formed, Edward L. Graham, q civil
engineer shot himself early today and
died instantly. The woman, who
gave her name as Lulu Adams, had
just fled from his presence when the
fatal shot was fired. She claims that
Graham was insanely jealous of
another man and when she refused to
marry him threatened to kill her and
himself. She escaped from the room
just in time to save her life, she says.
Miss Adams told the coroner that
the reason she refused to marry Ora
ham was that he did not have money
enough for her. What he had he
spent freely upon her, she said, but
it was not enough to satisfy her
wants. She had made this perfectly
plain to Graham, she said.
Graham was about thirty years of
age. Miss Adams is %.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 3.-The suit
brought by Herbert d. Newton, of
Brookline, Mass, against Mrs. Cassie
l.. Chadwick was again continued by
Judge Babcock to-day. The attorneys
representing both Mr.. Newton and
Mrs. Chadwick were in court and re-
quested that the hearing go over for
a week. A. F. Stearns, of the legal
firm of Carr, Stearns & Chamberlain,
representing Mr.. Newton, said the en-
tire matter would be doubtless settled
out of court.
Nathan Loeser, appointed receiver
for Mrs. Chadwick, said to-day:
81 have taken no action as yet to-
ward securing possession of any or
Mrs Chadwick's property. The prop
erty is practically all in the hands OF
adverse claimants. In order to get
possession it would be necessary foE
me to bring an action in court. This,
| am inclined to think, will not be
done immediately. or not at any rate
until we have conferred with MRS.
Chadwicks counsel. There have been
Inc developments in the recelVershlp
case to-day and the matter rests 1ust

HOLD FOR TEN CENTS.
Mr.. L.. Il. WAITS Appeal to Farmers
and Cotton Producers.

The world having found out through
ginners' reports about what the cotton
crop will be, spectators with the ap-
parent aid of manufacturers have
combined to get the balance of the
crop for less than ten cents, and they
are getting back our profits for the
last crop and getting our cotton for
less than its worth AS the producers
should get 10 cents for their cotton
and no less, / hereby propose a plan
which seems plain and practicable to
be operated through the same source
that gave information to put the price
down.
That is that every newspaper in the
South publish the following plan:
That the leading newspapers of each
county of every State that produces
cotton, get from the reporter of gins
the names of ginners and urge them
to see. every customer and urge him
to hold his cotton for 10 cents and,
if he owes his merchant. to turn it
over to him to hold. or if not in debt
but needing money for immediate use,
he can borrow from private parties or
banks by placing cotton as collateral.
Then as the demand REQUIRES, to sell
at 10 cents and no less, then the sur
plus will be left in the hands of those
not willing to sell for that price.

COTTON SLUMPS.
1t is Now At Figure Below the Leg
Itimate Value.

Cotton went down yesterday with a
dull drop and Z IL cents cotton is
what the farmers are up against.
The figures yesterday for middilng
were the 1-2 brand. The quotations
above this grade were Z 5-S to 1916.
The farmers who sold looked blue over
the matter, but the government re-
port of over twelve million bales
knocked out the bottom.
Speaking of the low prices, Mr..
Charles z. Johnson SAID yesterday:
1.-THE old fable of killing the goose
that lays the golden egg applies in the
cotton business as well rs in every
thing else, and there is such thing
as running the price below legiti-
mate value. This was done to-day and
in the end it may bring about a con-
dition of affairs which will prove not
only hurtful to the farming interests,
but to the manufacturing interests as
WE'LL
eff cotton goes to IL cents ans
stays there at interior markets, there
will certainly be a curtailment in the
production next year and the users of
yarns and manufactured goods Will
certainly be encouraged to hold off
the market and try to beat the "rices
down. The best thing for foreign in
terests and our mills is for a stable
price of cotton of 8 TO 10 cents a
pound in the interior markets.
In the section tributary to Raleigh
it is estimated that from SO to IS
ner cent. of the crop has been sold,
with perhaps 80 per cent. already
picked. The sales were small yester-
day, and feeling that the price cannot
go much lower the farmers are hold
ing up on sales. 1t is now calculated
that the increase in acreage in this
section will amount to about Is per
cent, with a crop of from 10 to Is
per cent. larger than last year.

STARTLING DISCLOSURES MADE
The Trial of Six Election officials in
Denver.
CIV the Associated Press.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 3.-Startling
disclosures were made in the Supreme
court today in the trial of the six
election officials of Ward 5, precinct
8, who are charged with contempt.
George King, a handwriting expert,
said that fifty-seven of the ballots
in the box had been written by ten
different persons. The highest num-
Der written by one person was nine
teen. The lowest was two. Five Re-
publican ballots were written by one
person. The other fifty-two ballots
on which the expert noticed similar
ity of handwriting We're Democratic.
cit is evident that two kinds of
ink were used in the writing of the
ballots" said Mr.. King, whether this
was occasioned by two different kinds
being furnished by the election COM
mission, OF whether certain ballots
were written outside the booths, am
unable to say
1t is the general belief among the
attorneys who have followed the con-
tempt proceedings closely that the re-
suit of the discoveries made by the
court will be to bring the ballot box
of every precinct where contempt is
charged into court for examination.

CHADWICK CASE CONTINUED.
Her Personal Property is Attacked
She is on the Verge of Collapse.
CBy the Associated Press. }


New York, Dec. 3.-The financial af-
fairs OF Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick were
further complicated to-day by the is
suance of an attachment against her
property for $1,35750 on behalf of a
tlirrn of miliiners of this city. The APP
oIication was made by Lawyer Theo-
dore II. Friend on the ground that
Mrs. Chadwick is a debtor and is not
resident of this State. The writ
was issued by Justice Conlan, of the
city court
The writ of attachment against Mrs.
ChadWick's personal property was
served upon the clerk and manager of
the Holland House this afternoon.
Friend holds that this was sufficient
to act as a service and would pre-
vent Mrs. Chadwick from removing
any of her personal property from the
hotel.
There is absolutely nothing to pre-
vent Mrs. Cassie l.. chadwick from
leaving the Holland House with nel
baggage, if she sees fit" said Philip
Carpenter. counsel for Mrs. Chadwick
tonight, when asked concerning the
report that a writ of attachment had
been served. THE papers were served
on the manager of the hotel and not
on my client personally, and that fact
renders the service null and VOID,

In contradiction to the statement

Holland House.
A story was published in an even
Ing paper to the effect that several
detectives alleged to be in the employ
of a millionaire, whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the
Chadwick case are shadowing Mrs.
Chadwick.
Mrs. Chadwick is said to be In a state
bordering on almost total collapse to-
night. The nervous strain Of the last
few days has been so great that she Is
reported as hysterical. DR.. Moore,
who is her New York medical attend
ant, was called in tonight and after
prescribing for her said:
Mrs. Chadwick is suffering from
nothing except the nervous strain
which she has been undergoing. 1t is
no wonder that a woman of her age
would give way considering what she
has been through lately. There Is,
however. no constitutional trouble"

KILLED IN A DITCH.
A Negro Man Meets Swift Death by a
Cave in at KinStOn.
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and ObserverO
Kinston, n. c., Dec. 3.-John
Lockhart, negro workman on the
sewer force of the West Construction
Company, was instantly killed by a
cave-in Of the ditch now being dug
just across the A. c. L. railroad. The
accident occurred at 1890 o'clock
this morning.
The ditch at this point is to be nine
feet deep and at the point where the
cave-in occurred was nearly at that
depth. Both sides of the sheeting of
the ditch gave way at once catching
Lockhart on each shoulder. He had
not time even to turn around and was
crushed squarely between the two
range timbers against which the jack
screws are placed to hold them in
place and keep the sheeting from
pressing inward.
The jury found that the death of
Lockhart was due to unavoidable ac-
cident and exonerated any and all
persons from blame.
