The examination made by the police

of third party in the case. Several
residents on the block got ito their

were fired to admit of the possibility

USE FOR COTTON SEED OIL.
Doctor Has Been Using It In Cases of
 Consumption.

Selma, November 1.-(Special. )-Pres- ident Ernest Lamar of the Alabama Cot ton Seed Crushers' association is in re- ceipt of a letter from Dr. George Brown of Atlanta, Ga. former president of the nti-Tuberculosis League of America, in which he explains the new and wonder full use to which he has put the great southern product-cotton seed oil.
 Dr. Brown who is an authority on the treatment of consumption. states that he has been using cotton seed oil in the place of cod liver oil in emulsion in the treat ment of the great white plague and finds it vastly superior to the i'll smelling fish oil. Dr. Brown states that where 20 out of 100 can take cod liver oil, 75 out of 100 can take cotton seed oil emulsion with equally and sometime Win superior bene- ficial results.
 Chemists have proved that cotton seed oil is equally as good in its nutritive and fat producing qualities as cod liver oil and is not unpalatabe.
 This new use for cotton seed oil in the south promises to bring 1t more rapidly to the froI.t. and the south will continue to grow richer from the use of its own product."

Cannt. Transfer Money.

New Orleans, November 1.-Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou wired today that the treasury Department cannot transfer money from London to New Orleans, as suggested by cotton exporters here. The plan was to have cash de- posted with United States fiscal agents abroad, and immediately upon such de- posit to draw cash at the sLb-treasury here.
 Several plans for moving the cotton crop, and thereby affording some meas ure of general financial relief we e under way at New Orleans today.
 New Orleans bankers acting in concert with state banks have arranged to mod fly the present stringent rules about pay ing out cash. so as to favor the move- ment of both cotton and sugar. This plan contemplates a judicious distribu- ton of available cash to country banks, which in turn distribute the money in an equitable manner among planters and small farmers enabling immediate sale of crops.-
 Handling of spot cotton continued here today, although the banks were closed on account of All Saints Day, state holiday. The future trading branch of the Cotton Exchange also closed for the day, but the Exchange remained open for SDOt business

COTTON GROWERS
 UNITE IN ACTION
FARMERS IN OKLAHOMA HOLD MEETINGS AND DECIDE TO HOLD COTTON FOR 1e CENTS A POUND.

Guthie, Okla, November 1.--Cotton growers in all parts of Oklahoma and Indian Territory today held meetings and discussed the cotton market situa- ton. It was decided to hold the 1907 pick until cotson prices have advanced to certain point The cotton grow CTS have a compact organization and each member is sworn to secrecy. It is rumored the minimum price at which farmers will sell was fixed at 16 cents.
 The action of cotton growers to hold the crop is considered in a favorable light by financial concerns as indicat ing that the Hurry" has not frighten- ed planters and that they are not in need of ready money. The fact that the banks will not be called on to supply cotton purchase funds will aid in re- storing normal conditions. It is esti- mated that over 10000 bales of cotton will be marketed out of Logan county alone.

MUTINEERS KILLED
 ON RUSSIAN BOATS
THE FIRE WAS HEAVY BETWEEN THE FORTS AND THE THREE REBELLIoUs BOATS, AND ONE AMERICAN IS WOUNDED.

St. Petersburg. November 1.-Accord- ing to the official report of the recent mutinous outbreaks of sailors at Vladi- vostolS the crews of three torpedo boat destroyers the Skory, Serdity and Ire votshny. mutined, hoisted their flag and sheled the port, doing considerable dam age to buildings and killing some soldiers and civilians. The Skory, on board or which were revolutionary agitators, in- cluding one woman, took the lead in the mutiny, the crew rising at the instance of the agitators, killing the commander of the boat and wounding the other officers, who were overpowered and confined be- low decks. The fire of the rebellious tor pedo boat destroyers was answered by the batteries ashore and from the gunboat Manjour and the torpedo boat destroyers Grosovoy Smey and others. They sur rounded the Skory and poured a. raking fire into her, which battered her to pieces. exploded her two boilers and caused fire to break out on board Nearly all the mutneers of the Skory were killed on the vessel. The three or four survivors threw themselves into the sea.
 The mutlny on board the Trevotshny was quelled by her own crew, after six of the mutineers had been killed and six wounded
 Gen. Count Unterburger. commanding the military district at the Amur. has arrived at Vadivostok and assumed charge of the situation.
 The United States embassy here today received dispatch from the consul at NladlVostok that the American who was wounded during the bombardment of Vladvostok by the mutinous torpedo boat destroyers is Harry Nietert. an employe of the Pacific Commercial company, who 1t is believed was struck by shell.

DEAL FOR CONTROL

New York, November 1.-The deal in which a Philadelphia syndicate was to have secured the controlling interest of E. R. Thomas and Orlando F.. Thomas, In the Prevalent Life Assur- ance society, is off, according to an an nouneement today by Timothy L. Woodruff, former president of the so- ciety. The decision followed con- ference of the parties to the original agreement at which Mr. Woodruff was present as peacemaker. The Phila- delphia people will next week receive the $100,o00 cash paid by them and the notes given the Thomases for their holdings. The control of the society however, will no longer remain with the Thomases. 1t is understood and it's management will be vested in new board of fifteen directors and finance committee to be chosen within week. Meantime, 1t is believed that MT. Wood ruff will have general oversight of the company's affairs
 Recently the Thomases, anxious to realize on their holdings made a con tract with ]. J. Coyle and associates of Philadelphia by which the latter were to take over the Thomas interest in the Prevalent Life and bonds of the Western Ice company having a par value of $l,0o0,0OO. The consideration was to have been $100,000 in cash paid October ,, and q series of monthly notes of $20,000 each It was also agreed that the shares and bonds should be delivered october and sub sequently returned as security for the notes.
