PRICE OF COTTON
TO Be ADVANCED
Object Of Big Convention al
KeW Orleans.

New Orleans, Nov. 12.-"Cotton;
it's price can go up; its price should
go up; its price must go up; its price
will go up"
This is the slogan of between twelve
and fifteen hundred delegates to the
national convention of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union,
which was formally opened here In
the New Orleans coliseum. They rep
resent &c 200 cotton planters OF
the South and this slogan has been
made the battle cry of the convention
They are placarding it on the build
ings, putting it in their speeches
recording 1t in their minutes and
shouting it through Their convention
hall
Cotton, and the determination of tn
Southern planter to push up its price
will not be the only subjects discussed
at the convention, but they will be
the principal ones and they formed
the keynotes to the address of wei
come delivered by Mayor Herman o.
New Orleans and the response or Ma
tional President C. S. Barrett of Nor
gan county, Ga.
The original plan to build mann
moth warehouse at New Orleans has
now broadened itself in the opinions
OF the delegates until it appears tha
a majority of them favor large cen
trail warehouse here, with other ware
houses in Texas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas
and elsewhere.
The farmers, according to the plan
are to store their cotton In these
warehouses, where it is to be hels
until the market suits their fancy. II
the meantime there are to be issues
warehouse certificates for the amour
of cotton they have stored and tn
certificates are to be negotiable Q
the banks. Already New Orlean
bankers have given them assurance
that probably $50,000,000 could be ad
vanced in this manner here.

SOLE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Killing of Former Senator Carmack
Arouses Tennesseeans.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 12.-Al
though the excitement in this city
over the shooting of former United
States Senator Carmack has to GER
tain extent abated the tragedy is still
the sole topic of conversation in polit
ical circles both here and throughout
the state. Colonel Cooper, who was
with his son when the latter shot Car
mack, has been remanded to jail with
out bond charged with murder, while
young Cooper remains at local hos
pital under guard, where his wounded
arm is being treated. His physician
says he is getting along as well as
could be expected His preliminary
trial on the charge of murder will be
held as soon as he is able to leave the
hospital
Both Senator Carmack and the
Coopers have many friends here and
throughout the state. The friends OF
the Coopers claim that the affair was
merely a street duel, in which both
sides met and began firing; that the
Coopers had tried to avoid meeting
with Mr.. Carmack and they were on
their way to the state capitol in re,
sponse to a telephone message from
Governor Patterson when the tragedy
occurred.
The friends of Senator Carmack
strenuously claim that the killing was
the result of conspiracy, pure and
simple, in which men in high author
ity were connected; that Mr.. Carmack
was waylaid and assassinated while
he was on his way to his boarding
house and while he was talking to 9
lady; that when he left the Tennes
seean Office for his boarding house the
fact was telephoned from house
near the Tennesseean Office and thai
thus the Coopers were notified thai
the senator was on his way and to be
on the alert.

of the Tariff.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE commit
tee on ways and means OF the house
of representative continued its hear
ings on the schedule for chemicals,
oils and paints. These public hear
ings, which are for the purpose OF
gathering information which will be

then said:
''We propose to call the whole COM
mittee together Immediately after the
election and invite people to come In
here who have knowledge upon the
subject to impart such information
as they are able to give to the whole
committee, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis.
After these hearings are closed we
propose to call together the majority
members of the committee as was
done with the Wilson bill, and to ex-
cuse our Democratic friends from at
tendance upon the sessions of the
majority OF the committee while we
are framing q tariff bill. When we
have framed 1t we will call them in
again and submit our work to them
and, finally, we will submit our work
to the congress- 1t will be revision
of the tariff: 1t will be protective
tariff; it will be a maximum and min
imum tariff, believe, putting us on
an equality with France, Germany
and Russia in that respect. That is
the Republican programme"

eleven KILLED,
MANY INJURED
Passenger Trains in Crash
Near New Orleans.
FIRE ATTACKS WRECKAGE


lsion Compelled to Fight the
Flames and Little Aid Could Be
Given to the Badly Injured, Several
of Whom Died While Lying About
the Smouldering Debris.
New Orleans, Nov. 12.-Eleven per-
sons are known to be dead and a
score or more injured as a result of a
wreck on the New Orleans and North
eastern railroad at Little Woods,
twelve miles from New Orleans.
Between Slidell and New Orleans
the tracks of the New Orleans and
Northeastern railroad are used by the
Great Northern railroad and it was a
suburban train of this road from Gov
tngton that crashed into the rear OF a
local Northeastern train from Hatties-
burg, Miss, telescoping the four rear
coaches.
Little Woods is fishing and hunt
ing camp on Lake Pontchartrain and
is SO surrounded by swamps that the
only approach to the scene of the
wreck is by way of the railroad. 1t
was some time before the news OF the
catastrophe reached the city, but as
soon as it was learned relief train
was hastily made up and rushed to
the scene.
When the relief train reached Little
Woods the wreck had caught fire and
the first efforts of the passengers and
the few fishermen and hunters were
directed toward subduing the flames
In this way they had been partially
successful, but little succor had been
given to the badly injured and several
OF these died while lying about the
smouldering debris. Rude bandages
had been bound about their wounds
In an effort to stop the flow of blood
and in many instances the later ex
animation of the railroad surgeons
showed that more than one life had
been saved in this manner.
None worked harder than the wo
men passengers in taking care OF the
Injured Tearing up underskirts they
bound up wounds, thus stopping the
flow of blood.
Only one physician was among the
passengers On the train, DR.. Henr,
Tartleton of Covington, La, wht
worked heroically In administering te
tho most seriously injured and direct
ing the efforts of others in makins
the wounded as comfortable as posi-
Bile under the circumstances.
