DEAD MAN WAS
DENVER LABORER
(From Tuesday,s Daily.O

Dan Hagerty, or Haggerty, and not
Everett Golden, was the name of the
man found dead Sunday afternoon in
the shed back of the planning mill
on Polk street. At least George
Dawkins, foreman of one of the sec
tons east on the Fort Worth & Dem
yer, who has seen the corpse at the
Maddrey Kenyon morgue, says that
he believes II to be the remains Of
the man Hagerty who until a few
days ago was employed on his sec
ton gang. Hagerty, according to
Dawkins, has brother Willie Ha-
gerty who is driver for the Texas
Brewing company in Fort Worth, and
a sister, who is Msr r. NJ. Coynor
In Mineral Wells
The Coynor address, II will be re-
membered was the name on scrap
OF paper found in one of the dead
mans pockets. The name Hagerty
did not appear in any of his effects
and the old account book which no
had bore the name Everett Golden"

came to Amarillo last week and
started in on a spree He had a
room at the Mcintosh hotel and the
last time that any one, who has yet
testified, held conversation with the
man was Saturday night about 10
o'clock. Then he was sitting on the
bed in his room tanning himself.
He had been drinking and when the
clerk at the hotel told him he had
better go to bed, he complained of
, being very hot and said he would
stay in the draft and cool off Some
time that night or Sunday he left
the Mcintosh and if he was not then
with other men he was shortly Joined
by several other men. In company
with these he was seen several times
sunday but these had left the shed
back Of the planning mill before the
body was found and none Of them
have yet been located 1t is not
thought, however, that they had any
thing to do with causing his death
The man had been drinking for
days and when he collapsed in the
old shed he lacked vitality enough to
recover. He had been sitting on a
stone slab, and when he toppled over
he fell with his hea dconsderably

Ahboclhteu IIebb.
Washington, d. c. June 2,--That
Japan is making a sincere effort to
check immigration to this country
was asserted in an interview given
out yesterday by Baron Takahlra,
the Japanese ambassador.
Japan Is taking all possible meas
ures to stop the emigration OF la
borers TO the United States" said
rakahira. These newly adopted
measures have, however. not been
in force a sufficient time as yet and
matters may not be quite as we'll
adjusted as they will be In the near
future. The United States govern
ment never questioned the sincerity
OF our efforts to stop the emigration
OF coolie laborers. Though they have
been stirred up by the press, 1t is
felt sure that the pleasant accord and
cordial relations which now exist be-
tween the United States and Japan
will not be marred, but will continue
indefinitely"

Harrisburg, Pa, June fudge
Kunkel today refused to take the
capitol conspiracy case from the jury
and all five defendants will therefore
stand trial. This action is a keen
disappointment to the defense.
Immediately after the ruling of the
court the defense opened its case.
Former Attorney General Hensel out
lined the defense. He said ne spoke
for all the defendants and denied
any collision or falsity in measures
OF the the metallic furniture of the
new capitol charged by the state.
The defense. he said, would show
the measurements were proper in all
respects and it worked a big saving
to the state.

Mr.. Norris, the oliver typewriter

afternoon by the accidental discharge

rapidly recovering from the effects
of the wound. He is now at St.

out northwest OF Amarillo. They had
along a small rifle which they had
been shooting at marks and Norris
who was in the rear seat held this
between his legs with the barrel
pointing up. A jar or jolt OF some
kind threw the hammer action of the
gun and the bullet entered Norris
throat about the base OF the tongue.
The ball penetrated a short distance
and stopped in the flesh At first
II was feared that the wound was
extremely serious but 1t has Yielded

divided among them, whereas, in the

THE COTTON INDUSTRY.

The bureau OF the census OF the
department Of commerce and labor
issued today an official bulletin in
regard to the cotton production Of
1907, which shows;
The finally revised figures for the
crop of 1907 expressed in equiva-
lent 500-pound bales and including
linters, show a total production Of
n,375,4Gl bales. This represents a
falling off from 1906 Of 2,22O,037
bales, OF 1873 per cent, and is 2,S04,-
493 bales less than the crop Of 1904,
the largest on record; while 1t falls
short OF the average production Of
the last six years by 345,914 bales,
The state reporting the largest
cotton crop in 1907 as well as In
every other year since the Inaugural
ton OF the ginning reports, was Tex
as, with total Of 2,360,47S bales
This represents an enormous decrease
from 1906, however, amounting to
1,921,346 bales, or 44.9 per cent
As a result Of this decrease Texas
produced only 2OS per cent OF the
total for the country, as compared
with 31.5 per cent in 1906 and with
.24.9 per cent, which represents the
proportion contributed by 1t to the
aggregate production Of the last six
years.
The new state OF Oklahoma re-
ported SS2,9S4 bales, loss OF about
A per cent, which, however, was so
insignificant as compared with the
losses shown by other state that Ok
lahoma actually advanced from sew
enth place to sixth in the quantity
Of cotton produced.
During the earlier part of the sea-
son the weather conditions were very
unfavorable for the cotton crop, as
a cold backward spring was respon-
sible for poor stands, stunted plants
and a late start, and later excessive
rainfall, especially in the western
st!tes, followed by drought, threat
ened diaster. The weather during
the latter part Of the season was
however, very propitious, and prac-
tically the entire crop was harvest
ed in good condition, the average
grade being estimated as middling.
The boil weeyil occasioned consd-
cradle damage in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, and Oklahoma, but grow
eTs are gradually becoming more eff
ucient in holding this pest in check.
The total gross weight of the cot
ton reported from the crop OF 1907
in the United States was 5,6S77S0,.
ilS pounds. The total tare computed
amounted to 246,53S,261 pounds,
leaving the quantity of lint produced
as 5,441,192,457 pounds. The guam
tity OF cottonseed produced was esti-
mated at 4,952,402 tons.
The estimated total value OF the
crop of 1907 was $7OO,956,O11. OF
this, $6O5,O63,592 represents the val.
