Spinners Ready 10 Buy Direct.

AUanta, Ga. Oct. S.-That the time is not far distant when the cotton planters of the South will sell their product direct to. the spinners of Europe and America, instead of through the middle man, in bales ginned and com pressed at the plantation, with methods in which loss has been reduced to minimum, was in dicated by today's discussion be- fore the International Conference of Cotton SpinnerS.
 Spinners representing hun, dreds of mills and millions of spindles told the planters that they were not only willing but anxious to buy their cotton direct. Big planters and representatives of the Farmers Union told the spinners of Europe that already they were organized, had built a chain of cotton warehouses, and had perfected business sy stem in which the spinners could pur- chase an almost unlimited supply of graded cotton, and were ready to eliminate the anti q u ated method of selling through d middleman.
 But" said Herr Arthur Ruff Ter of Vienna, If you plant CTS wish to trade direct with us you must not fix the price arbitrarily at 15 cents, and you must give us better service than the mer- chant"
 Action furthering this con dition took concrete form in the unanimous adoption by the con ference of resolution presented by the Committee on Trade Re lation Between Growers and Spinners. This resolution de clared that much of the present difficulty in handling cotton could be eliminated if the growers would adopt what is known as the warehouse system and es-

 Lieutenant Smith wore the medal presented to him for ex- cellence in platoon drilling, and bore the inscription:
 "2nd Arkansas National Guards 1st Lieutenent Platoon Contest. Y"
 The boys paid the highest compliment to the officers for the treatment received, and the officers spoke in glowing terms of the conduct of the boys.
 It was a pleasant encampment, drought with much experience, many pleasures, exciting contests and crowned with glory.

MURDER MYSTERY
Still UNSOLVED
SlAYERS OF PRIEST FOUND
DEAD IN NEW YORK NOT
YET APPREHENDED,
Police Satisfied That Robbery Was
the Motive for the Crime, anc
Are Searching for Three Armenians
to Whom Guilt Is Attached.

New York. May 2S.-John Ermoyian
arrested in Chicago on suspicion OF
knowing something of the murder and
later released when he satisfied the
police that he knew nothing of the
crime. The constant search by the
police of New York for Sarkis Ermoy.
Ian and his brother Simon. who have
been connected with the case through
cards found in the trunk where the
body was discovered, and of third
man believed to have been connected
with the case:
The assertion that Father Kasper
Varlorian recently inherited snug
fortune from a brother who died in
Chicago and that he possessed jewel
of great value in the form of a
crescent or cross which had been
handed from generation to generation
of priests-this money and the jewel
giving the police the motive for the
crime:
The fact that Mrs. Henry Sherrer,
In whose apartments at 333 West
Thirty-seventh street the trunk with
it's body was found, was taken to po-
lice headquarters to identify man
who had been arrested as the "ex-
press man" who took the trunk to her
home, and later announced that he
was not the person who carried the
trunk in:
These are the developments up to
a late hour Monday night in what has
become known as the trunk murder"
of New York.
The body of the Armenian priest,
Rev. Father Kasper Varlorian, which
was found doubled with the head
strapped to the knees, lies in the
morgue, positively identified according
to the police, but without clew other
than those already provided in the
finding of the body.
That robbery was the motive for the
crime, the police believe. The sugges-
ton that the priest was killed as a
result of disclosures of plot to seize
the throne of Servia was not credited
by the bishop in charge of the local
field.
Wnere the murder was committed
how many men were implicated
whether or not secret society was
in any way connected with it, remain
questions as vet unanswered.
The police on the strength of later
information revised their alarm for
the three men wanted in connection
with the murder. The new edition of
the alarm, telegraphed to the police
of all cities of the United States and
the principal cities of Europe. reads:
ARREST for the murder of Kasper
Varlorian, priest of the Armenian
church, Sarkis Ermoyian, John Moor
adam and Paul Sarkisian."
A description of each man was CIV
en- and request was made that a
thorough search be instituted in all
Armenian and Syrian colonies,
wherever located.

TIERS BE REVOKED.
Three Prominent Companies, He Says,
Have Entered Into an Agreement to
Control Prices-Supreme Court
Has the Authority to Gust.

Jefferson City. Mo-, May 25.-Judge
Robert A. Anthony. appointed by the
supreme court of Missouri to take tes-
timony in the suit begun by Attorney
General Hadley against the Standard
Oil company, the WatersPierce Oil
company and the Republic Oil COM
pany, charging a conspiracy, Friday
reported that the three companies en-
tered an agreement to control prices.
He recommends that their charters be
revoked and that they be barred from
the state. and holds that the supreme
court has the authority to make the
ruling of custer.
The findings sustain all the conten-
lions of Attorney General Hadley in
the petition filed with the court. The
report will be reviewed by the su-
preme court.
Suit Is Two Years Old.
Attorney General Hadley filed the
suit in the supreme court two years
ago, charging that the Standard Oil
company, the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany and the Republic Oil company
were in trust and were parties to
conspiracy to control the price Of
oil and petroleum products in Mis-
souri,, and to limit and prevent compe-
tition in the oil business.
Judge Anthony. of Fredericktown,
Mo, was appointed by the supreme
court to take testimony and report
his finding to the court. More than a
year has been occupied in the taking
of the testimony, witnesses having
been examined in New York, st Louis
and other cities.
Power of the Court.
If the report should be affirmed and
the findings of the commissioner
adopted by the court, the court will
then have power to take from the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, which is
a Missouri corporation, its franchise
rights as corporation. With regard
to the Standard and Republic com.
panies. both of which are foreign cor
porations, the court would have power
to cancel their right to do business in
Missouri. The court may impose fines
on the defendants.
