The ladies with a friend, Misses Vernie Hooper, Eula Trotter and Georgia Freeman, were on the lake in that place In a boat, when it suddenly capsized and threw all of the occupants out and the man in the party was caught under the boat in slch a way 1t was inn possible for him to render any assistance to the ladies. The policeman happened to be near the lake and hearing the screams of the women, rushed to their as- sistance. In the meantime, all had the presence of mind to hold on to the boat and the officer assisted each to the shore in safety. The water in the lake at the point where the boat was overturned is quite deep and all would have been
 drowned had they not secured assistance.

CORNER REPORTED IN AUGUST COTTON Fifteen Gents Predicted By inc
 Bulls PRICE CROWD IN CONTROL New York Stock Practically in Hands of Wealthy Few-Haf Total
 Supply of the United
 States.
PRICE CROWD IN CONTROL

New York, June Especial )-Complete proof has been obtained that practically all of the stock of cotton in New York has passed into the hands of a few wealthy men who regard it as an invest ment. This has been accomplished after leisurely and exhaustive investigation by these men of all conditions, and after the facts forced the deduction that the remnant of cotton remaining in America will command very much higher prices be- fore the end of the present cotton season. These men thus control actually more than one-half of the total supply at the ports of the United States.
 These operations were commenced last March and cotton has been acquired grad ually until now those interested in it are absolutely in command of the situation Current gossip connects the name of The odore Price with this operation. Investi- gation leaves but little doubt that he has associated with him capitalists of very great importance, whose resources are enormous. MT. Price, in an interview to- day, said that no corner was contemplat- ed; that he does not believe in corners, but that simply as a commercial proposi- tion the ownership of cotton strongly appeals to him at present. He expressed the opinion that before the end of Au- gust cotton in New York market would command prices that would surprise even the most radical.
 There has been enormous buying of Au- gust contracts on the New York cotton exchange during the past few days, which buying is largely attributed to the opera tion of the group of men associated with Price and those who are in the Know express the opinion that IA or IA cents for August contracts in New York is not at all unlikely.
