MRS. DUKE IN COURT
FORMER WIFE OF MILLIONAIRE
 SINGS HYMNS.
Held by Chicago .u..-e for Examina- tiOn as to Sanity-Refused to Pay for Hire
 of Auto,

Chicago. Sept. l.-In the unkempt illusion-hau woman whose fever ish lips answered to the name of Alice Webb Duke, in Judge Gimmelrs court here today there was little to remind the spectators of the former wife oi Brodie L. Duke. the millionaire tobacco man.
 Mrs. Duke was arrested last night charged with having failed to pay a $40 automobile bill. In her cell last night she sang snatcnes from grand operas for hours.
 Today Judge Gimmen, on the state ment of a physician that the defendant Is insane, held her for examination ir the County Court as to her menta state.
 The former mistress of millions was brought into court by a policeman. Led to the bar. the woman raised her long thin arms in a gesture of supplicatiou and in low but distinct voice repeat. ed the Lords Prayer. Then she began singing Nearer My God To Thee" in a remarkably sweet voice.
 Judge GimmelI asked her a few ques tlons to which she returned replies to the effect that she is worth million. and that there is a plot against heI fife.
 Investigation today disclosed the disappearance Of Mrs. Dukes closest business adquaintance, Charles Appleb y manager of the Kentucky Coal and Timber Company of this city.
 Unconfirmed reports say AppleN ' lost $7,5O0 through ill-advised business ventures with Mrs. Duke. In her ray ings, Mrs. Duke has said Appleby pol soned her and took her fortune.
 Applebys offices were closed today and Mrs. Applebyi admitted her hus. band had been missing since yester- day. .. .~i-....-.-
 The Janitor of the building in which Appleby's offices were located said he had often heard Mrs Duke and Appleby engaged in loud arguments and they often remained in Appleby's offices boring over blue prints and plans un- til late at night

RECEIPTS IN SELMA
CENTRAL CITY cor 112,s4o BALES
 or COTTON.
Largest in he History of DaIls County Cspital-Cotton Exchange
 Rafsen . Committee.

Selma, Sept. 1--(Special)-The total number of bales of cotton received ir Selma during the commercial year which closed yesterday. which report was received here this morning, is 112.340 bales.
 The figures are given from the daily reports of the local receipts which are reported each day by the Western Union Telegraph Company and they are believed to be about correct
 The shipment of cotton out of Selma during the past year was 112.e31 bales or 2s1 bales more than was received here during the year. This 2s1 bales shipped more than the receipts of the year was from the holdover cotton of the year previous which was in the warehouses when the past business year began.
 | Out of the 112.s4o bales of cotton received here last year at the close of the year yesterday there was on hand in the various warehouses of the city only 4T6 bales. This is considered a very small stock and the cotton which was received in Selma last year and sold represents over a million dollars to the people of this section.
 The number of bales of cotton which were received in Selma last year were perhaps the largest receipts since Selma has become a cotton center. Although the crop this season is con- sidered short. cotton men believe that Selma's receipts for the present year will be about as large as they were during the past year.

Committee Appointed.


 At meeting of the members of the Cotton Exchange held Tuesday after noon a committee composed of V. B. Atkins. W. G. Duncan. C. W. Hooper, Isaac Schwarz, R. H. Agee and Ernest Lamar was appointed to investigate into the feasibility of purchasing a site and erecting thereon a cotton ex- change building.
 This matter was brought up last week by Major Atkins and since that time has been widely discussed by the members of the exchange. The pro- ject is in its infancy yet, but 1t is the desire of some of the members of the exchange to erect five or six story exchange building here and they have figured that such building can be easily financed and that it would prove a paying investment[ for the stockho holders.
 The committee will report to the next meeting of the members of the cotton exchange.
