In reference to the proceedings in

SEVEN MEN LOSE LIFE
In Deadly Fire Which Destroyed thd
Big Chi Psi Frat Hall Of Cornell
University at Ithica, N. Y.

Seven persons met tragic death
Friday morning in the worst disaster
that ever befell Cornell University
at ithaca. N. \. Three Of the victims
were volunteer dremen of the city Of
Ithaca, and four were students Of
Cornell University The fremen all
we're prominent in ithaca. They are.
A. s. Robinson. attorney; John Rum
sey hardware merchant. Esty Ian
don, salesman.
The students were: o. l.. Schmuck
Hanova Pa. f. W. Grelle, South Or
ange, n. j.; W H. Nichols, Chicago,
ILL.,; J. NJ. McCutcheon, Pittsburg, Pu
Schmuck got cut of the building,
but went back for his roommate,
Nichols, and in the attempt to res
cue his comrade, he was 50 seriously
injured that he died in the hospital.
One student. G. J. Pope, a fresh
man, of East Orange, N. j., was seri-
ously injured, and three others were
slightly injured. They are r. r. Pow.
ers, senior, of Atlanta, Ga; w. w.
Gcetz, a sophomore, Of Milwaukee,
Wis, and II. M. Curry, Jr., sopho-
more, OF Pittsburg.
Rumsey, Lapdon and Robinson, the
Ithaca volunteer fremen, had manag-
ed to train a hose on the north side
of the house when the wall tottered.
There was a cry of alarm, and sew
eral men standing near managed to
get out of the way, but the three
named were caught under the mass Of
debris, and killed
A few minutes after the flames
were discovered, the Chi Psi chapter
house was all abaze, the flames, fan
ned by a strong northwest wind, and
the students were trapped in the dor.
mitory on the third floor. Many OF
the boys jumped to safety, while those
who hesitated we're carried to the
ground by the falling walls.
No alarm was turned In until half
an hour after the fire had been dis
covered, and it was half an hour later
before the volunteer fire department
could get to work. There was long
climb from the lower part of the city
to the college grounds, and by the
time the firemen arrived the interior
of the guiding was almost burned out
They could do nothing but prevent
the adjoining buildings from taking
fire.
The money loss is nearly 100000,
since the original cost Of the building
erected by Mrs Jennie McGraw Fiske,
was about $15O,OOO, and extensive in
terror decoration had been made.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
though it is suspected that it started
in the kitchen Cornell University
is UNNECESSARILY appalled, by the ter
rible catastrophe, and academic work
is almost suspended.
The burned building was built by
Jennie McGraw Fiske, the benelactor
OF Cornell, whose will was contested
by her husband, Professor Willard
Fiske.
Mrs. Fiske died abroad, seeking help
for an incurable disease, and never
entered her beautiful mansion alive.
Her body was taken there for the OBJ
sequies.

Cotton Worth over p celrss.

That the actual value OF cotton to-
day is u ~ cents is the firm belief
of President M. L. Johnson, of the
Georgia division, Southern Cotton AS

to the producers issued the past
week.
The bear raid on cotton i.s appar-
emily breaking, and from row on l
believe we may confidently expect
better prices.
The actual value Of cotton today
is II 1-2 cents and in my opinion it is
more. 1t cost us 10 cents 20 make
the cotton. To sell it at actual cost
of production means debt, often rum
GUS debt, in the preparation for MAX
ing next years CROP
'It appears from the information
received at this office that we have
not had that cooperation from those
who have control of our money, which
we had the right to expect. The pro
Queer is being called ON to pay his
debts, and there is a continued and
persistent effort to have the crop sold
and marketed at once, while on the
other hand the buyer has no trouble
in getting all the money he needs.
Indebtedness thus is the cause of
all our trouble and will remain so I'M
til the yoke is thrown Off If we
expect to control the next crop we
must prepare for it now We must
get free Of debt and put ourselves in
an independent position which will
enable us to have a say in naming
