Large Attendance and Harmoni-
GUS Gathering of Cotton
Growers.

Mr.. r D. Hudson, secretary of the
Texas division of the Southern Cot
ton Association, returned this morn
ing from New Orleans where he at
tended the annual meeting of the
Southern Cotton Association. Mr.

two or three days after the associ-
alton adjourned to attend a meet
ing of the national executive com
mitree This committee was in ses-
sion all day Monday and until
O'Clock Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Hudson stated that more har-
monious meeting of cotton men was
never held There were about twen-
ty-five hundred delegates present,
every Southern state being represent
ed. In this great gathering there
We're men representing almost every
line of business. Mr.. Hudson said
that E. d. Smith of South Carolina
delivered a speech that was electrify-
ing and that swept the convention off
its feet At the conclusion of his
speech he was literally swarmed with
requests from delegates to visit the
states they represented.
Mr.. Smith and Secretary Cheat
| ham will come to Texas on the first
| day OF February and Mr.. Smith will
remain in the state two months or
ganizing county divisions When re-
quests began pouring in to him he
said Texas was fortunate in securing
his services for two months. He will
alternate his visits between Texas and
other states, spending ten days in
each state upon each visit. He has
adopted this method in order to look
after the matter of acreage reduction
this year in the states west of the

MUST TRIM TREES.
Ordinance Requiring this Passed
by City Council.

An ordinance was passed by the
city council at its last meeting re-
quiring all owners of property to see
that the trees about their premises
are so trimmed as not to obStruct the
passage of those upon the sidewalks
or upon the streets. For some time
it has been unsafe for the fire depart
ment to make run at night as many
times they are almost dragged from
the wagon by overhanging limbs,
This is the proper season for trim
ming the trees and they should have
attention at once. Those failing and
refusing to so trim the trees as to
prevent no obstruction to sidewalks
and streets upon conviction are liable
to fine of not exceeding twenty-five
! dollars

Albert Johnson. the negro who is
in jail under a sentence of death,
enjoyed about two hours of freedom
the other day. but the little escapade
cost him his right to a hearing be-
fore the higher court. Johnson is
one of the negroes who escaped from
the county jail one day last week
and was recaptured by the officers.
He claims that he took no part in
planning the escape or tunneling
through the Jail wall, but with the
gallows staring him in the face he
could not resist the temptation to at
least try to gain freedom He was
the last prisoner to leave the Jail
and was the first to be recaptured
and returned to the bastile. AT the
time Johnson made his break for lib
erty his attorneys were making prep
arations to take his case to the court
of criminal appeals now in session at
Dallas. Under the law a prisoner
convicted of a felony who breaks Jail
and does not voluntarily return with

DEATH OF MRS. A.
FLEISCHER YESTERDAY

The sudden death of Mrs. A. Fleisch-
err wife of the south Second street
real estate dealer. which occurred at
the home on west Tijeras avenue late
yesterday afternoon, has cast a pail
of grief over a large circle of sorrow
ing friends of the family in this city.
The cause was probably indirectly due
to an operation performed some weeks
ago and as she had recovered from
the operation to some degree ard was
apparently on the way to recovery un-
til noon yesterday her death was
rather unexpected. At noon there
came a change in her condition and
she sank rapidly to the end.
Mrs. F'leischer was 29 years of age,
and until she married A. Fleischer,
five ysars ago, was Miss Josephine
Barth, daughter of the we'll known
sLeep grower. The father, a twin
sister, Mrs Fred Fleischer, and little
daughter too small to understand the
awful calamity which has befallen her
and the sorrowing husband, are those
who feel the sorrow OF death most
keenly.
Definite arrangements for the rum
eral depend entirely on the receipt of
kilograms expected momentarily from
New York relatives.

bers, next Saturday 1T is case OF
spite work aand the details of it will
come out in the wash" he said.
Attorney e. w. Dobson. who has
been employed as counsel for Mr.
Belknap. also refused to talk of the
case. He said that he did not care &c
disclose TO the prosecution the
grounds of his defense, and that he
had advised his client not to talk
The charge of being an accessory 3c
an attempt to murder is grave one
aud the interests of his client de
manded the greatest precaution.
The case dug up against Belknar
by the Morning Journal regarding the
alienation of affection" as the paper
called It. is ancient history. This
paper has forgotten about that, ant
when the charges were probed it was
found that a discharged employe hat
made them, and that from all appear
ances It was case of attempted
blackmail.
Mr. Belknap's bondsmen are T. S
Hubbell. Geo. II. Thomas, Clark M
Carr. II. Neumann and e l.. Medler
The prosecution had asked to have
the bond made for $1,000 but through

with obtaining money under false
