scout Is a sad, sad man. Jim is nice
old gentleman, and were he inclined to
the use of Incorporate language he has
enough provocation to indulge in a few
weii-chosen words not fit for publica-
tion.
The answer is, Ben Henderson, the
Oakland outlaw pitcher, whose services,
according to the laws OF the baseball
Medes and Persians, belong to C1eve-
land. Henderson, who has deep sense
OF loyalty, refuses to desert the outlaws
because Of the magnificent manner In
which they have treated him. Ever
since Mcclure came TO the coast he has
worked with might and main on Hem
derson, but Benny can't hear him, and
to add to Jim's woes, Henderson is
showing better than ever. In a recent
series he capped the climax by striking
out thirty nine men in three consecu-
tive games pitched by him. which the
dopesters think is a worlds record. In
addition to setting this strike -out mark,
Henderson won all three games, two of
them being shut-outs.

SPENDS $500 ON MACHINE WHICH

New York. Aug. 11.--Among the me-

WEATHER AND CROPS
Picking Is Now in Progress Over the
Greater Part of the Cotton Belt.

/. New Orleans Picayune September 10:
The past week has shown but little
change in the general character OF the
weather. There has been but little rain
in the western portion of the cotton belt,
only moderate showers in the central
norton and sufficient rain in the eastern
portion. The drouth in the west has
been accompanied by continued high
temperatures, thus keeping up the re-
cord of a remarkable season for heat
and drouth.
While rain would no doubt help the
plant to make more lint, it is considered
doubtful if general rains would now be
beneficial with the crop open and pick
ing operations progressing rapidly At
the same time it is admitted that ram
would be welcome, as would lower tenn
Deratures in the west, as a good harvest
season and late frost would do some
thing towards modifying the shortage
now admitted to exist in the yield.
Owing to premature opening of cot
ton, due to the heat, picking is now IN
progress over the greater part OF the
cotton belt and cotton is coming to mar
ket freely. Large early receipts are by
no means a good indication of the size
of the crop, as past seasons have amply
proved. That producers have sold free
| ly is admitted, as existing prices have
bees attractive to those who have obll-
cations to meet and must dispose OF a
portion of their early cotton to pay
debts.
The weather has been favorable to
gathering the corn and forage crops,
A large corn crop has been produced IN
the South this year, the yield in LOUIS
lana being in fact the largest on record.
1t is probable that the dry weather will
facilitate the gathering of the crop IN
good condition.

RICE MURINE
Sellers of the Beverage Convicted OF
Violation of the Prohibition Law.

There was tried in Mansfield on Sat
urday the case of Jones & Adams,
charged with the sale of Intoxicating
liquors, which resulted in the conviction
of the two defendants. In telegram
to the Picayune it is stated that these
two men have been selling rice MURINE,
and this was the third time this case
had been before the district court, the
other two trisls resulting in an acqult-
tai of the adsdsed. Several witnesses
swore that they had become intoxicated
by drinking rice MURINE, while many
more testified that they drank the liquid
and that it was not intoxicating. 1t was
shown that the defendants sold the bev-
erage in different kinds of bottles and
with different kinds of labels. Mr.. Ad-
ans was fined $275 and Mr.. Jones $225.
Afterwards the fines were reduced to
$Ioo and costs, provided the firm would
cease to sell the stuff M. c. Elstner of
Shreveport represented the defendants,
and the State was represented by Dis
trict Attorney Palmer of Leesville. The
other parties who had been indicted for
the same offense pleaded guilty and
were fined $Ioo and costs. This has
been hard legal battle, and it is said
that the expenses of the contest have
been betrayed by Houston brewing
company, which manufactures rice nu-
trine, but this decision will put stop
to the sale, within this judicial district
at least.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Bennie Killgore's Experience-A Pair
of Mules Frightened by Motor
Cycle Run Away.

This morning soon after 9 O'Clock
Bennie Killgore had a thrilling expert
ence. He is employed in the postofhce
as a special messenger. He was on his
wheel on Texas street when he, was
struck down by two mules and wagon
in which there were two bales of cotton.
The mules when about opposite the
court house were frightened by the
pop-pop of motorcycle. AS an eye
witness described it, when the motor
cycle passed the wagon going 'pop-pop-
pop, one of the mules reared up and IN
twinkle the two dashed away at full
speed The owner and driver, Henry
Robertson, negro, whose home is IN
the neighborhood of Spring Ridge, did
his best to check the runaways, but IN
vain. The street was more or less
crowded with vehicles and people at the
crossings. The mules were checked and
stopped after reaching Spring street.
Robertson, believing that Killgore had
been seriously injured, was greatly
alarmed and was ready to surrender, but
he was exceedingly glad when told that
the boy had received slight injuries.
Many people witnessed the accident
and willing hands picked up the boy and
carried him into Meyers drug store.
He received the attention of Dr. A. A.
Herold, who after a close examination
announced that the injuries were but
bruises and fortunately not serious.
Itwas narrow and remarkable es-
cape, an experience which Bennie Kill
gore will never forget. He is congratu-
lated on his good luck.

DISGUSTED WITH PEARY
Washington Does Not Like His Savage
Attack on Cook

New York, Sept. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Pole
hunting is a sportsman's job; the sclen-
tihc value of discovery is very slight,
said Henry w Perkins, acting super
intendent of the Coast and Geodetic
Survey, today.
All Washington replies: If this be
true, why, in heavens name, can't the
question Of victory be settled in a
sportsmanlike manner? ??
1t is not putting it too strong to say
that Washington, which was predisposed
to be friendly to Robert E. Peary, this
being his home, has become disgusted
with his savage attack on DIR. Cooks
claim to discovery of the great prize OF
exploration. The food of kilograms
from the north are deemed undignihed
for an explorer of Mr.. Peary's record
and ability.
The first really official reports from
Mr.. Peary arrived here yesterday. This.
to the Secretary of State, aroused the
greatest interest: Respectfully report
hoisted Stars and Stripes on North Pole
and formally took possession that entire
region and adjacent for and in name of
President and United States of Amer
ica. Record and United States flag lett
in possession. F"
Mr.. Adee, acting Secretary of State,
was interested but said that the State
Department had no comment to make
beyond saying that he saw no necessity
of replying to Mr.. Peary's report.
This raises the old question: Who
owns the North Pole?
The answer is: America of course.
If the Pole is in the sea or in sea ice,
lit is on the high seas, and therefore the
property of no nation, nor can it be
claimed by any It belongs to all, just
as the waters of the globe beyond the
fthree-nlile limit of jurisdiction of thu
i mowers. IF, on the other hand, the POLE
lis on land or on the glacial ice tha
lcovers land. it Is American territory b.
virtue of discovery of DIR. Cook or o
Commander Peary, or both. DR.. Cool
lis private citizen. Peary is govern
rnent official but on private expedition
!, This phase of the question brings u
the question of what land is suppose
to lie at or adjacent to the Pole. III
: Coast and Geodetic Survey for severa
years has upheld theory that a con
siderable land mass existed within tn
Arctic ocean. It is not land as the Ia
mind conceives land, but the scientist
lbelieve that underneath portion OF tn
icy waters there are rocks and earth an
!. that the peculiar direction of the froze
4 currents in the Arctic ocean are cause
:. by this land, which may be unbrokei
but is thought more likely to consist
4 an archipelago.
