IN PRIVATE CAR
H. Clay Pierce Leaves Boston
to Answer Criminal
Charge.
NO bLARE OF TRUMPETS

as Is PossibIe-Due at
Austin Nov. 9.

Boston, Nov. 2.-Henry Clay
Pierce, president of the Waters
Pierce Oil company, has departed

Mr.. Pierce reached Boston shortly
after 8 o'clock last night in his pri-
vate car, the Zamora, which was at
tached to a local train on the Boston
and Maine. from P7ide's Crossing.
No announcement of his intended
trip had been made, and the private
car had been shunted from it's siding g
at the railroad station and attached
to the inbound train before the fact
became known that Pierce was about
to depart
The owner himself, who had Sc
cluded himself either in his own
summer home or that of neighbor,
reached the private car in closed
carriage just before the train pulled
away for Boston. In Boston the car
was shifted to the New Haven line
for New York where Mr.. Pierce will
be Joined by Judge Priest of st

ELECTION BETS FEW IN \. Y
No Big Wasers Have Been Made on
Result Of Presidential Contest

New York, Nov. Little betting
Iof an important character has mark
ed the present campaign In New
York, and it is likely that an unusu-
ally small sum of money will change
hands as a result of the election.
Owing to the stringent gambling
laws obtaining in New York, there
is practically no open betting. A few
obscure books are in operation, but
the proprietors are not over-run with
clients Rumors are to be heard in
the hotel lobbies of big wagers made
by brokers and men of affairs, but
any attempt to run the stories to
earth is unsuccessful. Chanler is usu-
ally quoted favorite, and some bets
have been made on the result of the
national election at odds of 3 to 1
and to / in favor of Taft.
Chicago, Nov. among the
Chicago sporting fraternity there is
the customary betting on the results
OF tomorrow's election, and several
big wagers have been !. reported.
Every offer of'1iberal odds by repub-
lican hackers is eagerly snapped up
by devotees OF chance who believe
that Bryan has lookin at the fin
ish. While the odds favor Deneen as
against Stevenson, the democratic
gubernatorial nominee, the latter
has many hackers and 1t Is likely
that a lot of the coin of the realm
will change from pocket to pocket
when the results in the state election
are known. There will be the usual
big blowout to celebrate the holiday
tomorrow evening and the Windy
City will doubtless surpass itself in
merrymaking.
Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-No conspic-
uous betting has marked the cam
paign in Philadelphia. Some wagers
have been made among stock ex-
change members, one of these repor-
ted being $4,000 to $1,000 on Taft.
Some minor bets have been made by
local politicians, but the plungers
have not been conspicuous.
st, Louis, Nov. 2.-Taft is fav-
orite among the layers of political
odds in st. Louis, but to l has
been offered that Bryan will carry
Missouri. Several bets at odds OF to
5 have been made that Governor
Joseph Folk will defeat Senator
Stone for the United States senate.
Cowherd the democratic nominee
for governor, is favorite, but Had
ley, the republican candidate, has
many. hackers who think well Of his
chances.

COTTON PICKING
NEARLY FINISHED
Very Little Of the Staple Now
Remains in the
Fields.
MUCH DAMAGE BY WEEV|Ls
Farmers Are Taking Precautionary
Measures to Lesson Ravages Of
the Pest-Burnins Of the
Stalks Advised.

New Orleans. Nov 2-The Plea
yune will say today:
Very little cotton remains in the
field and it is said that all will have
been picked and ginned by Nov. Is.
The damage from the weevil in some
sections is reflected in the short
yield, many of the Red river land
farms producing only bale to six
acres. Those planters who have de-
cided to cultivate cotton another
year are adopting heroic measures in
an effort to allay the ravages OF the
pest. These precautions include the
early burning of all stalks in the
field in order to destroy places for
Information. as well as thorough
turning over of the soil and prepara-
tions to plant an early maturing va
riety of the staple.

matters. Among the points he brings
out are the following:
During the year 1907 the fire de-
partment responded TO twenty tire
alarms, eleven during the time that

then. This does not include the fire OF
January l, 1908.
The total loss of fire and water during
1907 was about $4,000. Total loss OF
life, two men.
One fire was caused by lighted
candle falling on a bed, two by allow
ing oily waist to accumulate near q
steam boiler; one by over-heating a
furnace; one by sparks dropping on dry
leaves on roof; one by explosion OF
gasoline; two by throwing ashes a
gainst a wooden fence; one by allowing
grease to accumulate around a vert
pipe; one by allowing furniture to be
TOO near a stove pipe, five were from
unknown causes and four we're false
alarms. The fire department consists
Of seventeen men, enc paid and sixteen
