CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Arrangements to Prosecute Contra tORa aN N~wv NnRE

Arrangements to Prosecute COmtrac- tors at New York.
 New York, Sept. z5.-Jnited States Marshal Henkel today admitted that warrants for the arrest of James L.. Lantry, Charles E. Lawler, Arthur T. Mart. Elmer Alexander, Bernard b. Traitel, Edwin c. Currier, Charles Sir rine, Charles E. Ensign, Julius Schloss, Charles Bosworth and Charles Bogert contractors charged with con- spiracy in importing English tile set ters under contract, had been placed in his hands for execution by MT. Ridgeway.
 It was the marshars intention to arrest the eleven as rapidly as they could be found, but Assistant District Attorneys Horton and BIerne, who pre- pared the governments case, informed him that they had been in consulta- tion with the counsel of the eleven accused men, some of whom are out of town, and had arranged to have them come in within the next day or two and personally surrender them selves and furnish such ball as the government might require. Should any of them fall to appear they will then be formally taken into custody It is expected that the de(endants will get together tomorrow or Wed nesday and, accompanied by counsel surrender themselves In a body.

 3. The ravaKes of insects in the western
 part of the cotton belt.
 {. The extremely unfavorabie growing season.
 He adds. this has not been a cotton year
 and the plant is poorly fruited all over the
 cotton belt. with the exception of south
 ern Texas. He says this years croo is mainly four-iook bolls while last years crop was mainly fve-loek bolls. He also men,
 tions the small yield of lint from seed cotton. In the past MT. Deitz's estimates of the cotton crop have been severely criticized at the time they were made. hut when the crop was marketed and the final count was known. his estimates have been sinRuiarly correct. His estimate of the crop of 1so3-o4 made on about Oct. 22. 1su3. was 1o'o0O.ooo bales.
 His estimate of the crop of 19o4-os made on Sept 16, 1904. was 13. 3.14200o. Mir Deitzs entire time and attention mas been devoted to inspecting cotton fields since March IS. During this period ha has made three trips across the cotton belt going into the fields and examining the cot ton plant iu all stages of it's growth and frutage You doubtless remember we stated In a previous letter that Mir. Deitz was for nine years in the employ of the senior member of our firm. in charge of cotton plantations and think he has but few equals in es- timating a cotton crop. Yours truly.

BascOm Bowling, Rum Over by Hac
 and Injured.

 EufauIa, Sept. Especial. Mas ter Bascom Bowling suffered a serious injury Saturday afternoon on Cherry Street. While crossing he was run over by a passing hack and severely bruised about the face and body. For several hours 1t was thought that he was injur- ed internally and that he would be af- ficted for life. but today his symptoms are much more favorable and 1t is thought he will soon be all right again. He was unconscious for several hours. The old Eufaula National Bank build Ing is being transformed into pretty storehouse The Weedon and Dent building adjoining is also being improv- ed and will add much to the looks of that part of the city.
 Cotton Is rolling in at very rapid rate and the streets are full of the sta pie awaiting shipment. The receipts have been very heavy for the time of year.
 Rev. Bertram Brown filled his regular appointment at Clayton yesterday and will continue to devote one Sunday of each month to the parishioners of that city.

 Chicago. Sept. 25.-official estimate that the wheat crop of Roumania Is a bumper was a reason for weakness today l. the wheat market here. Another depressing in fluence clear weather in the American Northwest. At the close wheat for Decem- tically unchanged.
 The wheat market was weak at the start initial quotations on December being off Hc at s5h aS5 Nc.

The average for the past five years Is given as from 35 to 50 per cent less than this years crop In addition to the foreign sit- uation, conditions in America favored the bears In the Northwest the weather con- tinued to be excellent for the movement of the new crop. Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were again liberal. arrivals today 1928 cars the corresponding day a year ago. The market lacked support from prom during last week. Cash houses and com mission houses were moderate sellers but the volume of business was not large AZ. nouncement of an increase of 2,Ss5,0 900 bushels in the visible supply caused consid- erable selling late In the session. As re- suit December dropped off to s4h Q SAC. During the last hour part of the loss was regained on covering by shorts. The market closed easy with December at s51s @S5 Ac:

 Sentiment in the corn pit was hearish Perfect weather for the maturing of the crop was perhaps the most vital factor. Another weakening influence was an ab- sence of export demand. Pit traders and commission houses were active sellers. The market closed easy. December opened un- changd to 8 shade higher at 45h 945% c and sold off to 44kc fis -
 Weakness Of wheat and corn had a de- pressing effect on the oats market. IT. addition local receipts were somewhat IT excess of the estimate. An increase of over 2. 1000. 900 bushels in the visible supply helped to weaken values. December opened a shade lower at 3S1c. sold off to 2Shc and closed at 2SM 12SZc.
