JOE SCHIRO
When Drunk Used His Pistol Freely
and Effectively in New Orleans.

The latest reports from NesT Orleans
indicate that the victims q Joe Schiro
will recover from their wounds. A few
days since Joe Schiro, when in wild
state of intoxication, sailed into the
streets with a pistol which he fired IN
discriminatory His victims, Mrs. Ber-
tha Streithorst, Maria Dolret and Ade-
laide Murphy, are improving. 1t has
been fully established by evidence now IN
the hands of the police and the district
attorney that Schiro is the man who did
the shooting. His feigned insanity will
serve him we'll under the circumstances.
Schiro is one of many who become
the victims of drink, and when drunk
are ready for any crime known to the
calendar. 1t is a pity there is no law to
hold responsible the seller of the booze
which robs a man not only of his money
but of his reason. However, there can
be no sympathy wasted on Schiro. He
should be made to pay the fullest pen
atty of the law

SEIZURES MADE
Have Justified the Vigilance of the New
York Customs Officers.

Collector Loeb in an interview few
days since justified on the grounds OF
good results the increased vigilance
of the customs officers in holding up and
searching prominent persons on the
docks on their arrival from Europe.
Two hundred seizures have been
made in the last three weeks at the
gates of the docks" said the collector.
THAT would appear to justify the Wig
lance of the customs men. These selz-
ures were made after the baggage OF
incoming passengers had been exam
ined and passed and the passengers
were about to leave the docks. So large
an amount of goods has been taken IN
this way that | shall be compelled to
order a special sale of the seized arti1
cles. Not a complaint has been received
at the collectors office from passenger
regarding the methods of examination
Of baggage and passengers on the dock.

CLEANING PAPER MONEY
All Bills that Come to the Treasury De.
partment Disinfected,

The New Orleans States says: The
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
Washington has devised chemical
solution which destroys the bacteria
that accumulates on bank notes without
doing any injury to the paper, and it is
understood that hereafter the Treasury
Department will disinfect all bills that
come in before sending them out again.
By this process dangerous germs viii be
killed and the bills SO washed and
cleaned that they will look like new
and will be just as easy to handle, al
though lacking the crispness of the
freshly printed notes. 1t is expected
that the process will prove saving one
for the department, because of the dirty
bills being washed and cleaned and con-
tinued in circulation instead of being
Destroyed and repaced with new ones,
as has been the custom in the past.
Examinations of old bank bills made
under the microscope have disclosed the
fact that they were colonized with mil
lions of germs, and as these germs often
find their way into the human system as
result of the practice when counting
bills to dampen with the tongue the
thumb and forefnger of the right hand
the counters in many instances have
contracted diseases of a serious char
acter.
Therefore the process of cleaning ant
disinfecting much-used bills which has
been adopted by the Treasury Depart
ment will commend itself to the public
i which now understands how easy it i
for the germs of disease to be trans
mitted from one thing or person to an
other and often cause the outbreak o
!. malignant contagious or infectious dis
ease. Aside from sanitary considera
tions, the process will result in grea
t saving to the government in the cos
of issuing new bills in place of thos
that have become filthy.
5 At the present time Secretary Mac
/ Veagh is considering a proposition
+ reduce the size of national notes, whic
i promises economy also in the saving {
: the cost of the paper and ink used. Fe
+ that reason the public will approve Il
change, though the difference in sii
o of the notes is a matter of little col
t Germ to the average citizen, who is i
" terested not SO much in the length al
to width of the notes as in the number
st them he has in his possession.

THE. NICKEL THEATERS AND
SALOONS.

New York World: According to Ed
ward F. Keeling, chief inspector of
amusement places in Chicago, the nickel
theaters "have done more to injure the
saloon business than any other factor
ever did" He says:
mo one realizes this better than do
the saloon keepers, and they are almost
invariably opposed to the locating OF
nickel theater in their neighborhood
In some instances a single SC theater is
said TO have cut the business of several
nearby saloons practically in half.
The man who, after his days work ane
supper, would wander to the neighbor
hood saloon now takes the fam
| ily to the nickel theater.
Nickel theaters have sprung int
prominence that ofsitself attests the fac
that they are highly popular In New
York attention has been directed t
them chiefly by the crusade agains

DETERIORATION
Of Cotton Crop Has Been Great-In
Many Districts Amounts to Disaster.

The Times Democrat in its issue of
September gives summary of the
cotton crop for the month of August
based on the reports of its correspond
ents in every section of the cotton grow
ing States. In substance it is as fol-
lows:
Sharp deterioration has been the rule
and the loss has, in many districts,
amounted to a disaster.
Excessively high temperatures and
parS1ing winds have forced the bolls to
open prematurely and caused the plant
to shed.
There are complaints of damage by
boil weevils in some sections, but the
abnormal heat has, of course, minim-
lied the ravages of all insects.
Picking will soon be general. Most
farmers seem inclined to sell at current
prices, though there is desire to hold
at least part of the crop for an ad-
vance.
The correspondent of the Times
Democrat at Shreveport says:
Shreveport, Sept Cotton deterio-
rated during the month of August from
20 to 40 per cent. This was caused part
| ly by the severely hot weather, which
checked the growth of the plant and
caused shedding within the last thirty
days, and unless further damage is
caused by the boil weevil, it will be so
per cent of an average crop. The bot
tom crop is now being picked and 20
bales were ginned at the Farmers Union
gin at Duplessis The top crop will be
picked after frost if not destroyed by
! boil weeviis. The situation has inn
proved since last years crop, which in
some instances were as low as 10 per
cent of an average crop. Last years
short crop was caused by incessant
rains and this years by the boil weevil. y
While it is true that the crop has de-
Perforated 40 to so per cent, especially
in some sections of Alabama, Arkansas
and Georgia, the price of the staple is &

HOWARD ADAMS

A telegram states that the grand jury
has again indicted Howard Adams, of
Mansfield, for selling Intoxicating
liquors without a license. The case IS
Of special interest because it has been
through the courts twice before this.
The accused, who operates a cold drink
stand, sells a concoction called nutrlne.
He was indicted some time since under
the allegation that it was an intoxlcant,
and at the trial a number of witnesses
swore on the stand that It was an in
toxicant, and about an equal number
swore that it was not. The court gave
the accused the benefit of the doubt and
acquitted him Then he was arrested by
the city authorities and fined SI5o, but
upon appeal to the district court he was
discharged because he had already once
been tried for the. same specific offense.
Then the citizens held 4 mass meeting
and petitioned him to st p the sale OF
the stuff, but Mr. Adams declined to do
so, saying that sucf i Course would be

THE CRISIS At TABRIZ.

Affairs at Tabriz hsve reached a crisis which
calls for intervention. American attention has
been strongly attracted 10 that city through
the death of an American who was fighting az
the head of the Nationalsts. The tragic Incl
dent will probably cause no international COM
plications. for. of course. when an American
abroad enlists among the heligerents on one
side of a foreign civil war he forfeits his claim
upon American protection and must take his
chances with his fellow cOmha tantS. But the
fact that the situation in Tahriz is so serious
that desperate sorties TO obtain food have been
undertaken is sufficient to make that city an
object of special interest.
Tabriz the chief city of the province Of
Azerbaian, in the northwestern corner of Per-
sia has been the most conspicuous centre of
the Nationalist movement. When the Shah
treacherousy repudiated the constitution to
which he had sworn fealty, Tabriz rerolted for
the maintenance of the constitution and estab-
lished local government Of its own. the first
real municipal government ever known in Per
sia. 1t was an excellent government and it
not particularly hostile TO the Shah That
is, it did not deny mis- sovereignty, but simply
insisted that he must restore the constitution
aud that Tabrz would not recognize the Ieciti-
macy of his abrogation of ii. For months the
city and the surrounding territory seemed able
TO hold out against the imperial forces But
now scarcity of food appears 10 he effecting
what the army of the Shah could not effect.
and the city is in danger of being compelled TO
