pursued the same policy there would
be no cotton to burn to keep up the
price. On his own individual farm
this. year he planted only four acres Of
cotton, which made three bales, and
one of tn three acres failed of a
stand until so late that it made but lit

next year but will add only seven
acres of cotton for it. He also made
over 60 bushels of corn on an acre

conventions and resolutions do not
limit acreage but individuals can.

TREATMENT OF ALL
 JEWS IN RUSSIA
SECRETARY ROOT SAYS THIS Is UNAVOIDABLE TIME FOR REP. RESERVATION IN THEIR BE- HALF.

New York, December 6.-That this will be an unfavorable time for representation on behalf of the Jews in Russia, but that there may be some hope for action in the future, is the opinion expressed by Secretary Root in a letter to Simon Wolf which was made public yesterday. Mr. Root expresses his sympathy with the sufferers and says in part
 "With the hoped for establishment of a liberal form of government and the restoration of administrative control over the remote scenes of the occurrences which are so greatly to be deplored this government may look for a practical re- sponse to it's repeated solicitation of freer Urea tment of American Hebrews, and may be in position to exert efficient good influence toward the liberal treat ment of all Jews in Russia and the better protection from the consequences of deep lying radical antagonism. The problem is one which strongly attracts the sympa- thetic attention of this government"
 The second million dollar relief fund being raised by the Jews of the United States for their Russian brethren was increased yesterday by S1414O25

HE EXPLAINS THE
 GINNERS' REPORT
SECRETARY NATIONAL GlNNERS' ASSOCIATION SAYS IT WAS DE- LAYED IN ORDER TO CORRECT
 ERROR IN CODE TRANSMISSION.

Dallas, Texas, December 6.-When seen retary of the National Ginners' associa- tion, was busily engaged in completing the sending out to members of the gin- ners report It had been completed at 5S0 D. m. and was immediately sent to mem- bers of the organization. It will be given 1 to the public Thursday night Regarding | the matter in the dispatches that ln- dicated that there had been delay in is- suing the report, because 1t was necessary | to revise it, MT. Blackwell said. "I made no statement that the report l did not state that we were holding up the report awaiting the correction of a certain code word used by MT. Taylor in | transmitting the message from Wynne- wood, I. T., where he had gone to finish 1t. 1t is true that it was finished at the general office by Mir. Taylor last night at ' o'clock but by reason of the error above referred to, 1 would not give the same to the membership because | could not do so intelligently.
 T made efforts to get MT. Taylor both by wire and long distance telephone re-
 
 and finally located him at Oklahoma City, and made him understand the error in the code message sent which he corrected | by wire as soon as he understood 1t. There has been no change or revision in the re- port since it was sent to me. I declined most positively to give out the report until could make it up correctly, and any wild rumors that if had leaked out, and l that the cotton exchanges had it, was guess work entirely. The could not possibly have had it. because it had never been put together and was not added and sent out until o'clock this afternoon. Both Mir Taylor and myself have worked day and night to get up this re- port correctly, and have guarded it with the greatest secrecy. I have been unable to enjoy a meal or a nights rest or at tend to my private business for five days | answering telegrams and long distance telephone messages, all of which both MT. Taylor and myself count as nothing as long as we are subservng the interests of the cotton planter or ginner, or rather the greatest commercial interests of the south."

Berlin, December 6.-Chancellor Vor Buelow today opened the debate in the reichstag for the new measures of the government adjusting taxation so as tc properly meet the empires increased re- puirements. The imperial finances, he saio presented a troubled picture in comparison with those of France and Great Britain Germany had been living from hand to mouth. The deficits which had occurred since 1899 were never larger.
 The empire. until 1875 was free from debt Now the empire owed $S75,O0O GOO for which a round $25 100000 in interest was required. The debt of the empire and those of the confederated German states amounted to $3, ,75O0O0,00o, or over $62 per capita. The debts of some of the other great states were Austria, $2,000,000 0000 Hungary, $2,025,oO Italy, $2,5OO 900 France, $6,0OO 0O0OOO and Great Britain $4000, O00,OO0.
 The United States, while Germany had been increasing her debt to the great sum mentioned, had reduced a debt of $3, 4S0. 100000 to a fraction of that amount The other states also had regular plans for the gradual reduction of their debts
 Germany's expenditures in spite of se- were economies had been increased rap idly and in advance of the income. All though the military and naval expenses had doubled in ten years so also had the appropriations for education.
 In alluding to the expenditures of other countries the chancellor remarked that Great Britain's combined military and naval expense had tripled since 1899

Washington, December 6.-The Esch- Townsend railroad rate bill which passed the House at its last session, has been redrawn and was reintro- duced in the House today by Mr. Townsend. The bill embraces all of the features of the former, but is drawn so as to specify the things which may be done by the interstate commerce commission. In addition it has publicity feature and gives the commission jurisdiction over refriger- ation and terminal charges. It also directly prohibits the carrier from granting any shipper the privilege of collecting his product and then get ting special rate under the short term provision for changing rates.

GLOBE MINING DEAL
In Which Phoenix Men Lay the FOun-
 datiOn of a Fortune.

A mining deal was consummated last week which means the develop ment of another valuable property in the Globe district, cornering almost on the holdings of the United Globe Go. The owners of this property are C. W. Woy. Henry Shoap and MT. and Mrs. Winthrop House of Globe, and N. Golf, NJ. J. Galpin and A. w. Gal pin of Phoenix. The nature of the deal is such that it brings Io the owners but very small amount of money at this time though there will be later payments, but this is entirely to their liking for they have unbounded faith in the property and prefer to hold a large interest in it rather than to take a small part of its real value in cash. Furthermore, the plan assures it's development which will begin within ninety days, the new men interested furnishing the means for this work. The eastern capitalists who become interested are residents of Sa- lem, Mass, and have ample means at their disposal.
 The plan is for the organization Of T company with a capital stock of 25O.OO0 shares, par. value ten dollars, of which the Salem people receive 65.- 900 shares. The Arizona owners re- ceive 101,6 shares and S3,334 shares

are placed in the treasury. The east ern people make four payments to the present owners, three months apart and totaling $5,000. In addition they agree to furnish the management $4O,- coo for the development and equipment of the mine and when that is done if all is satisfactory the eastern peo- pie will erect a 250 ton smelter and pay for it. whereupon the present own CTS will deed the entire property to the new company in which all are in- terested.
 The plan briefly amounts to paying the Arizona owners five thousand dol lars for the property and advancing them the money to develop 1t and build a reduction plant. The profits to all are to come out of the ground af- ter the mine has been developed.
 The group is known as the Iron
 Cap property and comprises six claims. They are situated between the Copper
 Hill. Defiance and Cochise claims of the Arizona Commercial Copper Go. on
 the west and the Matamora group on the east, also owned by the Commercial company. The Copper Hill and Def- ance claims have been well developed Ey the Commercial company and the trend of several strong sulphide veins IS toward the Iron Zap BIOuIlO. me
 Matamora group on the east also seems to show these veins perfectly
 and it is almost a certainty that they extend through the Iron Cap, as cer-
 tain at least as anything can be that is beneath the ground. There is some development on the Iron Cap and the ore values demonstrated are surely fattering. The very fact that the owiIers prefer stock in the mine to an estimated cash value is proof of their confidence in it. The veins running
 through the Commercial and Iron Cap are all believed to be extensions of the
 lodges now exploited directly west of the Old Dominion and United Globe and immediately south of the Iron Cap is the property of the Globe & Arizona development Co.. while to the north of the Iron Cap is the Bird group on
 parallel veins. developed to the extent
 of a 200 foot shaft on the ledge which shows rare values.

 Walker who had seen a neighbor woman and her son leave the house after an evening call when Mrs. Raul debaugh appeared on the inside of a locked screen door. told her he had seen men leaving her house and unless she admitted him he would report the matter to her husband. She reached for a revolver and told the negro to travel, which he did promptly. The next day she wired for her husband to come home, and he arrived on the next train. Walker had in the mean time disappeared and was not found again until Wednesday morning.
 By that time the husband had been counseled to preserve his equanimitv, and a vigilante committee was organ ized. Walker was covered with shot

NOT AN INSURANCE ORDER
The Agni, an Aid to all Insurance
 Companies.

In the beginnings of insurance lapses were deemed a source of profit; but it did not take long for both insurance companies and fraternal insurance or ders to learn that the cost of getting new policy holders was far in excess of any profit from lapses.
 Since that day. the problem of how to retain members and policy holders has been the study Of the greatest minds in insurance orders and compa- nies. Last year men interested in this subject organized and incorporated at Phoenix an order which not only solves the problem. but which. worldwide in its scope. confers financial benefits on all, regardless of whether they are or are not insured.
 The ritualistic work of the order is symbolical of the ancient Aryan race. Its financial features are confined to the lower three degrees, termed the Agni, practically a complete order in themselves. The other twelve degrees are somewhat masonic in character. but all who reach them must enter through the Agni.
 The Agni does not insure but it enables all who are insured to continue their insurance; and in addition makes provisions for those who by reason of occupation, age, ill-health or family history cannot obtain insurance.
 Like the Elks, the Agni have but one lodge in a city. A roster of its lodge at Los Angeles shows among its mem bership the names of many officers of other orders (among them three su- prene lodge officers). physicians. bank CTS. lawyers, principals of schooIs-in fact, its average of membership is of remarkably high standing.
 Judge J. w. Mccormick and Rev. Geo. M. Smith of this city are mem bers of the supreme lodge of the Agni. MT. Charles Udell of Los Angeles. also a member of the supreme lodge, is stopping at the Hotel Adams for two days and desires to meet those inter ested in insurance, whether fraternal or otherwise. He bears the highest ere dentials from banks and business houses of Los Angeles. All officers of fraternal orders Gas well as insurance solicitors) should see him while he is here, because their position will en- able them to reap great financial prof it for themselves, as well as to be of the highest benefit to their orders.
 The business men of Phoenix can congratulate themselves on the fact the supreme lodge of the order meets in Phoenix every year.
