the prune crop escaped damage by the
heavy frosts of three weeks ago." Mr..
McMinn said this morning. Inc
three days of warm weather which fol-
lowed the freeze seemed to revive the
drooping fruit and the outlook at pres
ent is for a big crop in the state hne
country. The stems took on sickfy
yellow color a few days after the frosts
but these have regained their normal
green color and appear healthy ana
strong again.

Reeder & Sons, was swept by nre early this morning. Five firemen were overcome while aiding in the rescue of 25O horses. all of which were led out in safety.
 Before the fire was got under control there was much danger of the flames attacking the big gas tanks of the Con- solidated Gas Company on the north side of One Hundred and Eighth Street. At one point the flames jumped to One Hundred and Seventh Street and ignited the coal yard of James Brothers. About 200 families were forced to vacate tene- ment houses.

 T know that Ludlow Street jail" said the Sheriff, through the civil process. is the champion blackmailing institu- ton of the United States. know of one case where a man was imprisoned for a breach of promise in a suit for s1O.O0O and the people who put him in fail compromised for SIT and that SIT was divided among three persons.

Nine prisoners, he said, was the greatest number there had been in this jail at any one time during the past year and at present the jail has three. They are guarded and cared for by one warden, eleven keepers. two engineers. two cooks and laundress.

ESTIMATE QUESTIONED
ARE GOVERNMENTS COTTON CROP
 FIGURES CORRECT.
Other Sources of Reliable Information Show Marked Difference and
 Create Distrust of the Bureau.
~--- Advertiser Bureau, 501 Fourteenth Street, N. W.,
 t-!. n@f


 Since the Governments last cotton crop estimate. as given out Oct. by the new board of estimate of the Agri- cultural Department. it transpires from reports coming here by way of New York that there Is general and sharp question of the maturity of the estimate.
 The sources of complaint are firms that employ thorough systems of col lecting information from every avail able quarter and which have until this last report tallied approximately with the Government. This time the re- ports of the cotton firms ranged as to condition covering the month of Sep tember, practically the same time, from 64 to 69 as compared with the department estimate of 71.2, differ ence which seriously jolted the market.
 This marked difference in the esti- mates of the Government and those derived from private sources has re- newed distrust of the accuracy, not to say suspicion of the integrity. of the Governments methods. The latter's s estimates are accepted by Liverpool and thus have paramount influence upon the market.
 It is said that Edwin s. Holmes, late assistant statistician of the depart ment, is among those who ridicule the accuracy of the Governments last re- port, saying 1t is the worst departure from real conditions any report has ever shown. R. H Watkins.
