Savannah, Ga, Dec. 1O.-Victims of

their home, No. 4O1 Perry street.
West, here, today, while a third wo-

Other arrests will be made before

Mrs. sGribble evidently. was. attack
ed from behind, as she sat in an
easy chair reading. On the floor. be-
side her body, were found the news

were dealt her. Her grey hair, blood
matted, shows the imprint Of the
blunt axe.
1t is probable that Mrs. Hunter was
the first to be struck down; that she
met the murderer at the door as he
entered and was struck before she
could escape.

SAVANNAH POLICE BAFFLED.
Both Hunter and Walls Are Now
Thought to be Innocent.

Mrs. Maggie Hunter, who is dying at
Savannah Hospital from blows dealt
her by the murders of Mrs. Carrie
Ohlander and her mother, Mrs. Eliza
Gribble, here Friday afternoon, the
admission that he had visited the
home OF his wife, from whom he is
separated, on the day of the MUIR
ders, the police today were compell-
ed to eliminate him from suspicion
of being the murderer. However. he
Is being held as prisoner at police
headquarters, and will be until it
seems certain that the real murderer
cannot be captured.
The police today questioned Will
liam Walls also, who admitted that
he went to the house, peered
through the closed window blinds
into the room of Mrs. Hunter, hop
ing to attract her attention, but he
declares he saw no one. This. he
says, occurred at the time the two
women were lying dead in the house
after the visit Of the murderer. The
third degree" was administered.
and for three hours a rapid-fire of
questioning was kept up, but after
making those admissions Walls stuck
TO his story of innocence. The police
now believe his story to be true.
This leaves but the original the
ory, that the murders were the re-
suit or a negro mans plan to attack
Mrs. Ohlander.

1e CENTS AT NEW ORLEANS.
May Reaches Long Dreamed of Mark
On South's Leading Exchange
Small Panic There.

New Orleans, Dec. 10.-Followiug
the posting of the cotton crop report
estimate Of 1o,0sS,000 bales on the
cotton exchange this afternoon. the
future market took a jump which
ranged from 26 to 40 points. May
cotton went to 16 cents, establishing
a new high record for the season. The
estimate was about 10000 bales be-
low the predictions of the most SAN
guine bulls
Anticipating a bullish estimate, the
trade started the market toward
higher levels several days ago, and
the May option yesterday sold at 15.-
54. 4 points above the high price Of
the day before. Yet it was even then
far below the level which was accord
ed it today, when it broke all records
for the season by going to 16 cents.
A majority Of the operators had been
trC ding on the belief that today's
estimate would be between 10,300,000
and 10,60O,0OO bales. When an esti-
mate of 10,OSS,000 was put out, a
small panic ensued and the market
went up with jump.

CLOTH MARKET STRONGER.
Crop Report Added Very Materially
TO Strength of Demand for Manu-
factured Staplc-Good Advance
Business.

New York, Dec. 12.-The effect Of
the government report on the cotton
crop has been to strengthen the
cloth market materially. Sales of
print cloths at Fall River jumped
from $4,000 pieces last week to 175.-
600 pieces this week, and the New
York market has been active and
strong on convertibles for spot and
future delivery. Yarns are much
steadier and are tending higher.
Merchants expect that curtailment
OF production will be enforced but
they anticipate no larger restriction
in consumption if present general
trade conditions hold. A shortage
OF 100000 bales in the cotton crop
Will of itself force curtailment what
ever may be the effect Of necessarily
high prices for the finished goods.
Jobbers are doing a good advance
business and the retail trade is ac-
tive In holiday lines. The large lob
pers are pretty we'll provided with
merchandise for the initial spring
trade, having purchased early, but
lhe question of the maintenance Of
values is no longer in doubt in any
larger way, and as their present
STOCKS are lessened they will be con-
tent with present quotations of cot
ton staple goods and are of the opin-
lon that prices will rise to a. level
with higher cotton as the duplicate
spring trade begins.

sixteen CENT COTTON.
PRICE ADVANCES So A BALE IN
LESS THAN TWO HOURS.
Spectators Prevent More Violent
Advances by Selling Heavily TO
Realize the Profits on Gains.

New York, Dec. 10.--Not since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New York
cotton exchange witnessed a mora
sensational scene or a more spectacu-
lar rise in prices than occurred to-
DAY with the announcement of the
government crop report. With the
galleries crowded with visitors from
the South, augmented by friends and
relatives Of operators and other in
terested spectators, the market soar
ed to a new high record for tho sea-
son, with gains Of more than 81 a
bale over yesterday Both the May
and July options touched the high
mark Of 1880, both gaining approxi-
mately AZ points over yesterdays,
close.
Bull brokers prevented a more vio-
lent advance, as they had distributed
teavy selling orders every S points
up from 1855 for May and July.
They sold enormously, supplying the
demand Of shorts and also the thrush
OF buying orders from Wall street.
Chicago and Southern operators and
the local and New England dry goods
interests. The market continued in
an excited state up to the close, with
estimates that 100000 bales had
changed hands in the last hour. May
closed at 1857 and July at 1874.
1t was 2 o'clock when the news
came from Washington that the gov
ernment estimate was only 10,0Ss,00O
bales, the smallest crop since 1903.
Immediately there was a tremendous
rush Of buying. Orders poured in
from the world over and prices
jumped from 20 to 80 points on the
first transactions. Last trades made
just before the report was announced
were on the basis of 1850 for May
delivery; the next. sales We're made
at 1870, an advance of 81 a. bale.
ihio WdS IOllOWSu Dy tremendous
trading both ways and by rapid fiuc-
tuations. A break to 1855 followed,
then came the rise to 1880. July
cotton f1uctuated along the same
lines, while March reached 1850 as
its high point and closed at 1910.
The government estimate is about
100000 bales below the prediction of
the most sanguine of the bulls and
the action of the market naturally
followed. Sixteen cent cotton, so
much talked about, was not realized
but the market came near it,
1t now remains to be determined
whether the federal estimators have
underestimated the yield, as has been
the case for the past 10 years. Dur
ing that time the crop has been un-
derestimated each year at from $780,
600 to 100000 bales.

REPORTS OF CORPORATIONS
new Tax Law Provides for Full Re-
turns

turns.
Washington, Dec. 12.-More than
100000 corporations in the United
States will have to make their re-
turns in conformance with the new
corporation tax. Secretary of the
treasury MacVeagh has issued a
very comprehensive statement for
the government of those corporation
officials. The statement is calculated
TO cover any questions of classifica-
tion and distinction which might
arise in the making of the reports,
and it sets forth in terse language
what the government expects.
Secretary MacVeigh's statement
PLAINLY begins with the statement
that the government expects returns
TO be made to conform with the in.
tent of the law and that the law had
TWO intents-first that it should be
revenue producer for the govern
ment and second to levy a tax of
per cent. on the net income of cor
porations as provided in the law.
After a concise definition of what is
considered net income with the law
the statement saws:
III Is clear that the purpose of the
law was not to put tax on receipts
but tax on profits and that the
terms net income and gross in
come are used because, while thew
are practically identical with gross
profits and net profits. they are yet
more embracive and consequently
permit more comprehensive ad
ministration Of the law"
For convenience and facility In
classification, corporations have been
divided into six classes. They are
insurance companies, transportation
companies, manufacturing COM
panies, mercantile companies and
miscellaneous corporations
The statement makes detailed ex-
plantations of what can be considered
gross income, net income, and de-
nnes what other terms used in the
statements are held to be within the
law. 1naccuracy is expected in some
or the returns, the statement says,
and 1t is expected they will be from
TWO causes. The first is honest error
and the second is intent to defraud
the government. Honest errors will
De corrected, but any attempts at
fraud will be met with vigorous pros
ecution.
The regulations do not call for
specific methods of keeping accounts
or any other particular method of
bookkeeping. The requirement is
simply that the business transactions
be so recorded that accurate returns
can be made and verified when neces-
sary.

DeIinQuent Tax Collections

Deputy Sheriff Sykes, who has
given his personal attention to the
collection Of delinquent taxes, for
which executions were issued, has
collected and paid over to the Coun-
ty Treasurer $3,O3S.52, and to the
City Treasurer $1,096.94-a total of
$4'135.46. This is the largest amount
ever collected from delinquents, al
though the executions issued were
about the same in number as in for
