PRICES FOR COTTON
WILL FIX TWELVE CENTS AS 4
 MINIMUM.
Convention of the Farmers Union Will Convene in Fort Worth Today --Renew Fight on
 Bucket Shop.

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. si.-on the eye of the ~nnual convention of the Farmers Un-on, which opens tomor- row. it is regarded as certain that the minimum price for the new crop of cotton will be fixed above 12 cents. Some of the leaders favor IS cents and compromise probably will result in 13 or 14 cents being led on.
 A selling agreement calling for con- centration of the coston being held and sales in bulk direct to the spinner, thus eliminating the middle man, has been perfected by the National Cotton Handling Committee. The spinners are said to have formed an alliance with the farmers and will aid in eliminating the middle man.
 The fight on the bucket shop" will be renewed by the convention. It is announced that committee including one farmer from each State will be maintained during the next Congress, instructed to secure the enactment of a law preventing telegraph and tele- phone lines from transmitting and newspapers from publishing what they term fictitious market quotations.
 National President Charles s. Bar rett of Georgia doubtless will be elect ed for third term.

rnsane Man Brooded Over Murder of
 His Wife.

Tnsnne Man Brooded Over Murder of
 His Wife.
 Chicago Aug. 31.---A dispatch to The Trtbane from Clay City, H., says:
 Insane as the result of having slain his wife and wounded his son. in error. Julius Turner, a farmer. committed su- icide in the county jail last night. He hanged himself with the sheets from his cot.
 The shooting of Mrs. Turner and her son occurred on June 29. The murder was the result of insane jealousy on the part of the husband. The son was mistaken for a rival and he and his mother were shot while they were standing in the dark just outside the village church.
 Turner, who was ss years old. had been separated from his wife for some time before the shooting. He was re- puted to be wealthy. Mrs Turner was l9 years old.
 Turner. overcome by remorse and sorrow, has been out of his mind ever since the shooting. He had been more concerned over the condition of his son than he had been in his own fate. and had. frequently said he cared not what the authorities did to him so long as his boy would recover.
 Tn this last wish he seemed to have been gratihed, as the boy. although se- riously wounded, has recovered rap idly and Is well on the way to health again.

MAY ASK FOR
 INJUNCTION Prohibition Decision May
 Be Brought Up. IT COMES FROM BIRMINGHAM Depends on Interpretation of Inter state Act. walker Percy wm Appear Today Be- sore Judge Thomas c. Jones And It Is Thought His Purpose
 Is To Ask For An Injunction.

In all probability thep decision of Judge N. B. Feagin, of Birmingham. that an interstate shipment ceases at the depot. and that to haul any intox- icating liquors away from the depot Is an offense triabie in State court. will be presented to Judge Thomas c. Jones, of the Federal Court. as vio- lation of the interstate commerce law. and an injunction asked for today.
 It will be recalled that a drayman was arrested in Birmingham for haul ing beer away from the depot. He was prosecuted by the authorities. as- sisted by the Law and Order League. on the ground that hauling any in- toxicating liquors in prohibition terri tory was against the prohibition law of the State. The prosecuting attor- neys contended that he could not plead the protection of the interstate com merce law. because he protection af- forded by this act ceased on the arr rival of the contraband goods at the depot. Judge Feagin decided that this point was we'll founded. He held that the protection of the Interstate Com merce Commission extended only to tho railroad shipment. and was ended when the goods reached the depot.
 Judge Feaein presides over the In- ferior Court of Birmingham, but this was regarded as one of the most im- portant decisions that had been made since the prohibition laws went into effect
 Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the Cir cult Court of the Middle District of Alabama. was notified yesterday by Walker Percy a well known lawyer of Birmingham, that he desired hear ing to make an important motion in reference to this decision. While Mir Percy did not make known with defi- niteness his purpose, 1t is believed that he is coming to Montgomery to request that Judge Jones issue an Injunction forbidding an inferior court, or higher courts for that matter, from interfer- ing with the interstate commerce laws Judge Jones only told Mir. Percy that he would be In the judges chambers today to consider any motion which he might desire to make.
 If 1t is the purpose of Mir. Percy to make this motion for an Injunction, and there appears to be no doubt of it, the case will become celebrated one. The motion will be based on the ground that not even Congress has the right to interfere with interstate commerce, as guaranteed in the Con. stitutioh. and that decision like that of Judge Feagin is a freak interfer- ence with the law. The prohibition leaders of the State will in all prob ability oppose the. granting of any in. Junction. If the decison of Judge Fea. gin Is sustained. they believe that It will go long way towards the forced observance of the prohibition laws.

 --s---- Adsatant General wni send out Cheeks to Pay spanish-Americaa voiaa- teers For Time Before Muster.

Those who have believed not in the sincerity of Uncle Sam in War1ars will have their surprise today Ad- jutant General Blob Graves, of the Alabama National Guard. authorized the statement beginning this morning Spanish h-American war claims Will pc paid
 The money is subject to the check of the Adjutant General. who is the dis- bursing agent of the fund.
 If you were one of those lucky sol diers who enlisted in the volunteer service of the United States and do not recall having been paid for the time lapsing between the hour of your recruiting and the hour of reporting at the rendezvous. you have some money coming to you. It may be little to the way you look at tt.
 The checks to be sent out today and fin future as fast as the addresses are learned vary from s2 and sS to szVO and $500. The names of the men erl- titled to pay are on the massive rolls at the Adjutant Generals office. op- posite the names are the various amounts representing the net pay of the men after deductions of attorneys fee.
 Claimants who appear in person at the Adjutant Generals ofice today ini- rnediately get their cheeks on identih- cation Those who cannot appear per- sonally should send to the office their names and addresses so that the money may be sent without delay
 The total amount to be distributed will be between s&0.000 and s50,000. To gather together the enrolment of men on which to base the claims for presentation to the War Depart ment was no mean task. This was done by Attorney Ben Carter. of Birm- ingham. For nearly a month the cleri- cal force of the Adjutant General has been busy checking up the apportion- rnent of the back pay. deducting coun- sePs fees in every case and doing other things necessary to compute the amount to which the several hundred officers and privates of Alabama are entitled
 It will probably be several weeks before the last check Is sent out. It will be difficult to reach some of the people whose names appear on the roll.
