SPINNERS BUY
FOR EXPECTATION

New Ork, Dec. {. WIN Cne
general improvement of the fin
ancial situation, the easing of
money rates and the gradual re
turn to normal currency condit
ions, there is marked increase
in cotton demand for export
The Southern growers still pos
sess the key to the situation
through the strength Of their
holding movement and they have
good reason for satisfaction at
the result of their refusal to Yield
to the arguments and blandish-
ments of Theodore H. Price, lea
der of the bear forces, who wan
ted to disrupt the holding move
ment 50 that the big short inter-
est in the December option could
break the price of the staple in
order to cover its contracts for
delivery. Now that the grim de-
termination of the growers, to
hold their crops for just prices, is
apparent to all, the position Of
the December shorts is fast be-
coming unbearable.
Price and his associates on the
short side have been arguelng
that the prices on the New York
contract have been unduly infla-
ted. Yet the representatives of
European spinners are stead
lily absorbing spot cotton in the
Southern market at prices aver
aging some go points above the
New York contract price. The
activity of these European inter-
ests has given rise to a quite gen.
eral belief here that the foreign
spinners will get their stock
cheaper than the American man.
ufactures who nave been holding
aloof from the market for some
time, largely on the advice of the
Price interests, in the hope of
compelling the growers to sell at
lower prices.
In fact. many look for repit-
ion of the history of the Sully
year when the European spinners
got into the market purse, bought
up all the available supply at the
lowest prices, and left the Amer
lean manufacturer. who had de-
layed purchasing. to shift for
themselves at the end when they
had to buy their stocks of raw
material at prices very much
above these paid by the foreign
interests, MOSt OF the American
spinners now are waiting for the
issuence of the government report
in December before stocking up,
although there is no doubt of their
ability to secure any needed &C
commodations from their banks
at the present time. 1t is this
that has given the European
buyers the opportunity of which
they now are taking advantage
and it is this that promises to
cause a belated scramble for cot
ton, on the part of the American
spinners, when the crop report
appears and it is found the mar
kets have been denuded by the
export buyers.

GIRL KILLS PHYSICIAN
STAYS MAN SHE SAID WRoNGED
HER AND ENDS OWN LIFE.
RULED BY QUEER POWER
Told Her Friends She Was Unable
to Resist Doctors Influence
and That He Tilted
Her.

Kansas City, Mo.-Unable to resist
the strange power which DR.. e. H.
Merwin exercised over her, according
to statements she made to friends,
Miss Maud Slater Saturday shot and
killed the physician and committed
suicide. The bodies were found In DR..
Merwin's Office. A revolver was in
the womans hand, and the police say
there is no doubt she shot the doctor
and ended her own life.
The tragedy has brought to light
strange story. Friends of Miss Slater
say she and Merwin had been sweet
hearts for four years. The girl told
Miss Leah Thomas that the doctor had
wronged her.
Miss Thomas says that Miss Slater
told her she was unable to resist the
power of DR.. Merwin's will. When
ever he summoned her to his office
by means of this influence which she
believed almost superhuman, she said,
she was utterly without the power to
resist.
After having visited the doctor, Miss
Thomas said, Miss Slater reproached
herself bitterly, and declared she
would resist him in future, but each
time she was unable to do SO.
"She went to his Office last Wednes-
day." said Miss Thomas, who was a
close friend of Miss Slater "and upon
her return tore her hair and became
almost insane in ranting against him.
She said she had pistol at home and
that she was going to kill him."
Miss Slater told her friends that
she and DR.. Merwin had been engaged
and that he had broken the engage
ment.
DR.. Merwin's friends take a different
view of the case. They say the physi-
clan had been annoyed by the girl,
who telephoned him and wrote letters
to him frequently. The doctor him
self said some time ago that Miss
Slater, through jealousy, had caused
to be published an announcement of
his engagement to another woman,
which had no foundation.

RESUME OF THAW TRIAL.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw took the wit
ness stand in defense Of her husband
and told the story of her relations
with Stanford White, the famous ar
chitect who was killed by Harry
Thaw. 1t was the same story she
told Harry ThaW in Paris in 1913,
when he had asked her to become ms
wife-the confession of one who felt
there was an insurmountable barrier
to her ever becoming the bride OF
the man she loved.
The defense of Harry K. Thaw, IN
der the direction of Attorney Dolphin
M. Delmas of California, began 10
assume definite shape and testimony
was placed before the jury to the
effect that Stanford White had been
heard to make a threat to Kill the
defendant, coupling the threat with
the display of a revolver; that ThaW
actions following the killing OF White
on the roof of Madison Square gar
den were considered by several eye
witnesses to have been irrational;
that an uncle of the defendant was
insane; that Evelyn Nesbit IhaW
passed a note to her husband during
dinner at the Cafe Martin the eve
ming of the tragedy; that District At
torney Jerome has this note, and re-
fused, on the demand of the defense,
to introduce it in evidence.
Stanford White, not satisfied with
the wrongs he had heaped upon Eve
IVn NaShit when she was a girl of 16.
tried to win her away from Harry
Thaw after her return from Europe,
and even pursued her after her mar
riage, according to the testimony of
the young wife of Harry K. Thaw at
his trial She also related an alleged
plot of White and Attorney Hummel
TO blacken the character of Thaw.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

The house completed and passed
the river and harbor appropriation

with sundry amendments, all of which
were suggested by the chairman of

The advocates of 14-foot channel

dation of the committee in opposition
to the project.

day Mrs. Thaw told her husband that
she had suffered greatly during the
ordeal when her association with
White was laid bare and Thaw COM
municated the fact to the attorneys.
He told them that his wife was in bad
shape, and requested that she be given
an opportunity to recover herself.
Attorney Delmas then set about to so
rearrange the plans of the defense
that Mrs Thaw's presence in court as
a witness would not be required until
Tuesday.
If this plan does not miscarry, Mrs.
Thaw will not be recalled until Tues
day and her cross-eXaminatiOn by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome will begin
Wednesday, a day later than had been
anticipated.
Juror Steele Not Well.
Another development Sunday that
startled those directly concerned in
the case was the reported illness of a
Juror. Visions of a mistrial were soon
dispelled, however, for it was ascer-
tanned that the illness of the juror
was not such as threatened to inca
pacitate him. Wilbur F. Steele, go
years of age, manufacturer of gas
appliances, has contracted a severe
cold, but it is expected he will be able
to go into the jury box when the trial
is resumed The other jurors, all of
whom were reported in good condition,
took a drive in Central park.
Thaw rose Sunday after what he de-
clared had been restful night, in
good spirits and with hearty appe-
tite. He did not attend service in the
chapel, but spent the morning with
the newspapers and in reading the
many messages which were brought
him. Of these one read: BE Brave"
Wife Continues Her Story.
New York-Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
again Friday was the central figure
at her husbands trial. She was still
on the stand-her direct examination
unfinished-when the usual week end
adjournment until Monday morning
was taken.
Picking up the threads of her life's
story where she had dropped them the
evening before, the girl wife of the de-
fendant-always, she declared, telling
her story just as she had related it to
Harry Thaw from time to time
brought the narrative down to her
wedding in Pittsburg, on April 4,
1905, and their return to New York
following a honeymoon trip in the
west. She declared she had heard
White call to her on the street once
after this and that on another occas-
ion when she passed him in cab she
noticed his cab turn around and fol
low her in the direction OF a doctors
office, where she was going to have
her throat treated.

GERMANY ANGERED BY HAYTI.
Relations Strained by Financial Deals
and Offensive Language.

Port au Prince, Hayti.-The rela-
tons between the governments of
Hayti and Germany are strained,
owing to the refusal of the German
bankers, Hermann & Co., by direction
of the court at Port All Prince, to re-
turn to the Haytian government large
sums of money alleged to have been
obtained fraudulently.
Among the alleged transactions of
Hermann & Co. with the Haytian gov
eminent was one which is said to have
have proved favorable to the govern
ment. This was concluded by the
Haytian minister of finance, the Ger
man legation and Hermann & Co. The
German minister demanded that this
transaction, as well as others, be an
nulled, but the Haytian government,
in terms that the German minister
deemed offensive, refused to acquisece.
The German minister at the same time
demanded the withdrawal of the
phrase objected to. This also was re-
fused.
Fears are entertained here of grave
complications ensuing.
