Deppe's Slayer Defies Arrest.

SEATTLE, Jan. 17.-Barricaded in
his lonely cabin on Fox Island, in the
southeastern waters of Alaska, Robert
Ball, slayer of William Deepe, is de-
flying arrest. He has fired several
shots at persons passing the hut. Such
are the reports brought from the north
by the officers of the Lynn canal
steamer Cottage City which arrived
last night.
Purser Ewing says Deputy United
States Marshal Grant left Wrangel a
week ago for the purpose Of placing
Ball under arrest. About the time of
his departure for Fox Island news of
Balls defiant actions reached Wrangel.
Grant was accompanied by two other
deputies He is reported to be very
determined man, utterly fearless in the
discharge Of his official duties. So If
Ball resisted. it is thought very prob
able that some one was hurt. However,
at the time the Cottage City left
Wrangel nothing was known there as
to the result of the officers efforts
to take Deppe's slayer into custody.

ROSE BARRED FOR ALL TIME.
Grant Athlete Punished for Violating
fhA RulAa

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 17.-Ralph
Rose, Michigans great athlete, has
been barred from ever competing for
the University of Michigan again. The
Michigan board of control of athletics
took this official action.
The ruling bars Rose not only from
competing at the Western conference,
but also from representing Michigan
in any meet against any college or ath-
letic association whatever. The action
was taken under rule IS of the west
ern conference.
The attitude of Michigan's board
leaves no hope for the phenomenal
shot-putter. The board said that even
if Rose had an excellent excuse for
disobeying Michigan's instructions not
to compete for the Chicago Athletic
association during Christmas vacation
the Michigan board could not even
listen to his appeal for a reconsidera-
ton. BY competing for another organ
ization than his own college, without
the consent of that college, and in open
defiance Of instructions he has violat-
ed not merely a Michigan ruling but
a conference law

PAY ELEVEN CENTS.
Meridian PIantrs, However, Are Urged
 Not to Rush Cotton In Too Fast.

Meridian, Miss, November 6.-(Special) When Liverpool showed such a remark able gain this morning, and New York immediately followed, the local cotton market strengthened materially, and II cents. the minimum. was paid on the streets for all the cotton in sight. The Lauderdale planters. however, were leary about dumping much of their cotton on the open market even at Il cents, and announced they would feed the market slowly, thereby trying to prevent the price from being hammered down by the claim of the bears that the visible supply would not warrant higher rates.
 The officers of the cotton associat tion are urging the farmers not tc rush their cotton into the city even for the purpose of storing 1t, as 1t would be counted in the visible supply, and the crop having been gathered in full twenty days ahead of last years. the receipts would be swelled to such proportions that they would bear a close resemblance on their face. to those of last year at the same period. The bears it Is claimed would use this fact without showing that the crop this year is twenty days ahead of last season.

tinued to sell as the market would absorb
his offering until all were disposed Of.
Other trustees testified during the trial
that they had sold large blocks of stock
at the same or lesser prices at about the
same time.
The writer of the article must have taken
the charges made in the petition against
Mr.. Rockefeller, instead OF the testimony
which appears in the case, or she could have
reached no such conclusion as is expressed
by her. Miss Tarbell puts in quotation
marks, as though she were reciting the evil
dence in the case in several instances, what
nobody ever testified to, and of which there
Is not the slightest hint in the record.
When the award had been made and this
vindcation of Mr.. Rockefeller reached
the plaintiff undertook to repudiate it;
and it therefore became necessary in order
to secure the entry of judgment as agreed.
to file supplemental answer in the Com
mon Pleas Court and itigate the validity
of the award of the arbitrators through to
the Supreme Court. In each instance the
Common Pleas Court, Circuit Court and
Supreme Court, without one dissenting
voice. affirmed the proceedings of the arbi-
traitors, and ordered judgment to be entered
in accordance Herewith.
