GREAT HEADWAY IN
 COTTON PICKING

New Orleans, October 4.-The Picayune weekly cotton report tomorrow will say:
 Clear, cool weather, with drop of tenn perature to 40 degrees in many places, and light frosts at few points, charac- terized the week just closed. Weather conditions were ideal for harvesting but somewhat interfered with late cotton that has not yet quite reached maturity.
 Only at one or two places in Missis- sppi was there rain. and practically everywhere in the territory surrounding New Orleans the days were all bright and sunshiny.
 Great headway has been made in cotton picking, and gins are running regularly

THREE FIREMEN HURT
IN CAN FACTORY BLAZE
Property Loss in Destruction of
Plant Is Estimated at
500. 600

Three fremen were injured and prop
erty TO the value of 100000 destroyed
in a fire which started early yesterday
morning in the local plant Of the Ameri-
can can company. Nineteenth street and
Treat avenue. The cause of the blaze
is unknown, but it is supposed to have
been started through defective wiring
or some wires becoming crossed. and
was discovered first in the rear of the
building by watchman in the employ
Of the company.
During the conflagration Charles
Dougherty, truck Z; James Quinlan
truck I, and George Spellman, engine
10. We're injured by being struck by a
portion of the roof falling on
them as they were working beneath it.
The fire was a spectacular one and
necessitated the turning in of three
alarms in order to extinguish it. The
firemen had some difficulty in fighting
the fire owing to the structure being of
corrugated iron and thereby keeping
the fire confined to the inside of the
building until the walls collapsed.
The American can company changed
hands a few weeks ago through the
sale Of the entire plant to an eastern
corporation, the leading members OF
which are now said TO be in Europe.
