COTTON CROP SHORT.
Reports Indicate a Yield of Less Than
100000 Bales.

Washington, Oct 25.=The census
bureau issued a bulletin today placing
the cotton ginned in the United States
up to October IS, at 4.904.72S bales,
round bales being counted as half
bales. The statement is based on re-
ports by the bureaus special agents in
the field.
Ginners Report.
Dallas, Tex, Oct. 25.-The report of
the National GSinners association esti-
mated the amount of cotton ginned to
October Is, to be between 400, 600
and 100000 bales. The report indi-
Gates q crop of under 10,000,000 bales.
Affects the Market.
New York, Oct. 25.-The report of
the census bureau issued today giving
the amount of cotton ginned to Oc-
tober 18, was 4,94O,72 bales against
6,417,8 bales to the same date last
year, caused sensational fluctuations
in the late session of tOdayS cotton
market. Before the report was issued
the market had been nervous and un-
settled owing to rumOrs that the report
would show fully 100000 bales
ginned and prices just before the re-
port was issued showed a net loss of
about 19 "a 20 points with January sell
ing at 1888. Inside Of ten
minutes after the figures were pub
lished January shot up 81 points to
1870. The market was feverishIy ex-
cited. On the bulge leading bears be-
came very aggressive, however, and
the market reacted almost as rapidly
as it had advanced.
Prices Shot Up.
New Orleans, La, Oct. 25.-When
the report of the census bureau was
read showing how much cotton had been
ginned up to October Is, prices shot
up A to So points higher than the
lowest of the day or as much as S3.15
per bale. December at 1:10 D. m. was
1865; January, 1914, A points higher,
and March 1893, 63 points higher. The
report effectually controverted the
false report sent out earlier in the day.

THREW MONEY AWAY.
visitor in Chicago Casts $6,s5f on the
Sidewalk.

Chicago, oct. 25.-A Mueller,
ranch owner from Nevada, attempted
to give away S6,351 in front of the Pal
mer house this morning. He might
have succeeded had it not been for
Policeman 0. Peterson, who was at
tracted by Mueller's actions. When
the policeman neared Mueller the Ne
vadan threw the money on the side
walk and called out, 'Will no one take
it2''
s'Yes, I will" said Peterson as he
picked up the money and seized Muel-
Ter. Peterson, believing he had in Gus
tody one of the men who yesterday
robbed q bank in Indiana, took Mueller
to the Central police station. Mueller
told the police he had arrived in Chi
cago Tuesday and had disposed of sew
eral car loads of cattle at the stock
yards. He then left the place and
went out for q drink. The prisoner
was unable to tell the police where he
had been subsequently. The money
was placed in the treasure vault at the
station and Mueller was turned over to
the police sergeant for safe keeping.

BRIGHT FOR MRS. new
Believed Governor Hoch VIII Pardon
We'll known Prisoner.

Indications are that Emelia New, the
Greenwood county woman serving a
40 year sentence in the penitentiary for
the murder of her husband, viii be par
doned by Governor Hoch.
Even County Attorney Robert Clog
ston, who was here fighting the appli-
cation Tuesday before the governor, ad-
mitted after the hearing closed that it
was possible that the governor might
make a material reduction in the length
of Mrs News sentence.
Governor Hoch has received from per-
sons with whom he is well acquainted,
assurances that if Mrs. New is pardon
ed, these parties viii give her a good
home as long as she cares to accept it.
These parties are not relatives Of the
New family, nor do they live in the
county where the crime was committed,
but they have confidence in Mrs. News
innocence.
Governor Hoch has taken an unusual
amount Of interest in the New case.
While at Eureka a few days ago, he
talked with a good many prominent
people about the case, and ascertained
that the general sentiment of the COM
munity is that Mrs. New did not have
fair trial Her case was badly man
aged, it is claimed, and when the YER
dict was returned against her, no mo-
ton was made for a new trial The re-
suit was that efforts to get back into
court have failed. Governor Hoch is
likely to take these facts into considera-
tion.
In addition to this evidence. Governor
Hoch visited Mrs. New herself at Ian
sing, and had a long talk with her. He
seems to have been impressed with her
appearance of innocence. He also spoke
of her apparent extreme age. Attorney
/. H. Johnson seems to have ascertain
ed Governor Hoch's idea on this point,
for he brought to Topeka with him an
affidavit that Mrs. New is only AZ years
of age.

GOODBY 10 ALABAMA.
The President Closed His Day in That
State at Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 25-President
Roosevelt concluded a strenuous day
in Alabama BIZ a two hours visit to
Birmingham, where his reception. in
keeping with those given him at Mont
gomery and Tuskegee, was hearty and
sOul-stirring.
The day was unmarked by any spec
ial incident save at Birmingham. Here,
at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Twentieth street, an intoxicated man in
his excitement dropped a pistol from
his pocket on the pavement The pres
ldent saw the incident and called the
attention os officers to the man, who
was Immediately arrested.
Following the presidents speech ex-
Governor Joseph +. Johnston spoke in
behalf of the Camp Hardee, United
Confederate Veterans, and presented to
the president several young Iassies. des-
cendants of confederate soldiers and
sponsors and maids of honor, who pre-
sented to the president a badge from
the camp.
I'VE do this TO express to YOU our
respect for the president Of the United
States" said the governor, our conf
dence in the courage, unsectional
patriotism and generous impulses of
Theodore Roosevelt and in appreciation
OF Your many kfndnesses to confederate
veterans, and especially for the un-
sought honor recently conferred upon

Eugene T. Ware, Who May Be Presi-
dent of the Kansas Semi
Centennial.

He communicated his idea to C. x.
Holiday, president of the Commercial
club Secretary IT. j. Anderson too
thought It a good idea. So plans are
under arrangement and viii be an
nounced in a day or two.
This is but one of the ways that To-
pelza is going to show the people OF
Kansas that is it is going to do it's
share and a great deal more besides
for the big fair of 1911. There has been
some criticism to the effect that Topeka
is simply getting Its hand in" again.
Here IS Just another instance of how
much Topeka is doing on its own initi-
ative to get the thing started At the
last meeting Of the Commercial club it
was voted to pay the expenses of the
members of the committee who come
to form an organization they are not
coming to make arrangements-they are
coming for the one distinctive primary
purpose of seeing what can be DONE
how it can be done, and wherein it
would be for the best advantage of the
state.
Topeka is inviting them and paying
their expenses. It is purely a public
spirited motive on the part of the To-
peka Commercial club to get the senti-
ments of a representative body of Kan
sas men to talk over the matter and
see whether and how a Fair of such big
proportions can be made a success.
Though no officers will probably be
elected at next Wednesday nights S
meeting, talk is already rife concerning
leader-and the name most frequently
mentioned for president is that Of Eu-
gene F. Ware oe Topeka.
''I would consider him a very fine
man for the position" said Chairman
John z. Frost of the committee this
morning. mo words from me would
make my claim too strong for him. He
is a man OF national reputation, one
who ranks first in his profession, an
author and literary man of marked
brilliance, and a man in whom every
one would have confidence. His friends
are legion all over the country. Ger
tainly think he would be a very, very
good man for the place"
Mr.. Ware is a member Of the committee
which will meet on next Wednesday
night. He is very enthusiastic over the
idea of having a Kansas exposition and
has signified his intention of doing ev-
erything in his power to make it a sue
cess. It would be a very hard matter
to find more acceptable man FOR the
place.

FOOTBALL SECRETS.
They Are Being Told Today ON Wash
burn Field.

Washburn's secret practice in pre-
paration for the Oklahoma university
game next Saturday commenced this
afternoon. The work will be mostly
signal practice and defensive work. The
second team will be used to batter into
the first teams line.
In the rain and mud last night the
varsity put in the usual two hours
work, much of the time being devoted
to stopping the line bucking of the
scrubs. The defense is said to be show
ing up better than at any time this
year.
Confidence is growing at Washburn
that Oklahoma will be defeated The
Oklahoma team came here to Kansas
touted as the big team of the west. 1t
was smothered by K. U. and today is
up against another hard game with the
Kansas City Medics. Consequently,
Oklahoma will in all proba ability come
to Topeka considerably battered to
pieces, and it ought to be comparatively
easy picking for the Topeka team.
1t has been decided that Williams
shall play fullback in the Oklahoma
game, and give the signals. The quar-
terback has been giving signals hereto

KELLY PARTICULAR.
Now Says No One Shall Draw Money
Out of Treasury Illegally.

At the meeting of the executive coun-
ell this morning, it was discovered that
the state has used uD all its money
available this year for furnishing and
equipment of state offices, and that two
bills, one for 1912 for fixing a bank
counter in ]. r. Burrows office, and
another for S126 for furnishing a room

were presented by the Horne Planning

So the council approved the vouchers.

The money has practically all been ex-

HIDES BEHIND LAW.
Missouri Pacific Pleads Interstate
Commerce.

J. H. Richards, attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, today filed with the
state board of railroad commissioners
the answers of his company in the
grain rate case. the salt rate case. and
to the application of the Independence
and Coffeyville jobbers to intervene in
the grocery commodity case
In the grain case it is claimed that
the shipments are all interstate COM
merce. and that the whole purpose is
to force lower rates on interstate
shipments"
The objection TO the Intervention Of
Independence and COffeyville is that
the conditions there are not identical
with the conditions at Wichita.
The salt case answer is quite long,
and sets up a variety of defenses.
Concerning the charge that the
Missouri Pacific was in the freight re-
bate deal with the salt trusts paper
railroad" the Hutchinson & Arkansas
River. the answer says the Missouri
Pacific was acting in good faith, being
compelled thereuntO by competition,
but discontinued such pro rating
arrangement after the hearing before
the interstate commerce commission
when such practice was declared to be
unlawful
The comparison of salt rates with
-four rates is also held to be unjust
Competition between flour mills. It is
alleged, has brought about "Iower
rates than made contemporaneously
for salt. A comparison of rates can
not be made based entirely upon value
but numerous other conditions have
to be considered"

Annuity Union Sues TiHotson for
$4,000 for Malicious Prosecution

The Annuity Union Insurance com
pany filed a $1,000 damage suit in the
district court against D. c. Tillotson
this morning, charging him with mailci~
Gus prosecution. Mr.. TillOtSOn has been
a member of the executive board Of the
company since its organization UP un-
til its last annual meeting which was
held in this city last month. At this
time Mr.. Tillotson was removed from
his position and a fight resulted be-
tWetn himself and the secretary which
got into the courts and resulted in
fine being assessed against Mr.. TillOt-
son on an assault charge.
A short time after the row broke out
in the ranks of the officers Of the An
nuity Union, Mr.. Tillotson commenced
suit against the company for something
like $1,000 which he claims is due him
form the company for salary and money
advanced to run its affairs. At the time
he filed this suit he garnisheed the
company's account in one Of the city
banks and tied up the funds.
It is this section that the company
claims was malicious. The petition OF
the company states that the case was
given great publicity through the news
papers and that the fact that the COM
pany funds had been garnisheed was
given great publicity to the great dam
age and detriment of the order That
the action greatly injured the standing
of the company, that it was vicious and
wrong and brought with the sole pur-
pose of injurfng and destroying the
company.
Mr.. Tillotson had not heard of the i'll
ing the suit but said: "I suppose
that the suit is brought to counteract

ton is correct and proper
