CLERK STEALS BIG MONEY
GulibIe Tax Payers of Louisiana Again
Robbed, This Time to the Tune
of About s2oo,Ooo.

A desalcation in state tax collec.
tons in Louisiana, which the officials
announced amounted to at least s107,-
900 and might reach 100000, was dis
covered Wednesday in the books of
Charles E. Letten, chief clerk to John
Fitzpatrick, state tax collector of the
first district of New Orleans. Mr..
Fitzpatrick, who was formerly mayor
Of New Orleans, has announced that
he will make good whatever the
shortage may be.
Letten, who is 55 years old, for 10
years had been one of the most trust
ed men in the department. Up to Wed
nesday night the police had not been
able to get trace of what was done
with the missing money.
MIR. Fitzpatrick, after examining the
books, said the shortage appeared to
have begun four years ago and to
have been hidden by using delinquent
taxes and the current year taxes to
cover up the deficit of the previous
year. A few days ago Mr.. Fitzpatrick
called fo1. the final statement of the
1906 taxes earlier than his chief clerk
had prepared to make it.
This is the third defalcation in six
months in the Louisiana state tax
department the two previous short
ages totaling nearly 100000, and now,
for the second time, there is no clew
to the whereabouts of the missing Of
fetal.

REVISED COTTON GRADES.
New York Exchange Forced to Bring
Contracts Nearer Parity.

New York Exchange Forced to Bring
Contracts Nearer Parity.
The regular September meeting OF
the revision committee of the New
York cotton exchange was held after
the close of business Wednesday al
ternoon. Much interest has been ta-
ken in the probable action of the
committee, owing to the big discount
at which local contracts had been
selling as compared with middling
cotton in the open market, and the
trade had anticipated that the action
of the committee would bring the
contract about fifty points nearer par
tty with the middling grade.
The revision announced reduced
premiums on the high grades about
25 points, but gave increased penalties
on the low grades of from about 20
to 100 points, with the penalties par
ticularly severe on the tinged and
stained cotton
