THREE WOMEN DROWN IN THE TRINITY
They were Members of Picnic Party
From Batson-Mrs. Beaver and
Misses Kerr and Logan Victims.

Beaumont, Tex.-While at picnic
on the Trinity River, about twelve
miles southwest Of Batson, in Hardin
County Saturday, three young women
were drowned while wading in the
river.
Miss Mamie Logan, aged IA; Miss
Emma Kerr, aged %; Mrs. Edgar
Beaver, aged about %.
A picnic party consisting of about
dozen people went from Batson in wag-
ons to the Trinity River Saturday and
the three young women and Mr.. Bea-
yer went wading in the river. The 8
women were together, while Mr.. Bea-
yer was a considerable distance fur
Their down the stream. It appears that
the three women stepped suddenly in
to deep hole, and, while the screams
attracted Mr. Beavers attention, he
was unable to reach them before they
drowned. 1t was stated in some of the
reports that the young ladies waded
into quicksand and were unable to pull
themselves out and that Mr.. Beaver
was unable to help them.
The bodies were recovered Sunday
night.

HAMON DENIES ALL BRIBERY CHARGES CRPEN MAINTAINS CLMl RESERVE
Accepts the London Solicitors Ser.
vices and Keeps His Own Coun-
set-Sergeant Mitchell Sails.

Quebec.-Inspector Dew Of Scotland
Yard said with positiveness and irrl-
tation Wednesday that Crippen had
not confessed to the murder of Belle
Elmore, his wife.
JOS. Norm, Crippens jailer, was
equally positive thai no word of con-
fession had come from the dentists
lips.
Attorney General Guoin and Judge
Langlier, before whom the man and
his girl companion, Ethel lie Neve,
were arraigned, said they had heard
nothing of a confession and they scout
ed the idea that Crippen would have
made one to Dew without their knowl-
edge.
The foregoing details came on top
of vague rumors of unknown origin
that there had been confession, al
though Inspector Dew spent barely
five minutes with Crippen during the
entire day. This visit he made to the
dentists cell Wednesday to OBJ
tain Crippen's answer to Solicitor
Newton's cablegram from London Of
fering legal assistance. To this Grip
pen replied accepting and promising
to keep his mouth shut and not resist
extradition, conditions which were i'm
posed in the solicitors cabegram Of
last night.
Crippen's acceptance of the offer of
counsel would seem further to indicate
that he intends to maintain his atti-
tude of silence. And the few words
that came directly from the prisoner
himself indicated anything but the
mood of a self-confessed murderer. He
told one of his keepers that he would
make no fight here, but was prepared
to fight when he came to trial in Lon.
don. An effort to learn anything about
the friends that the London solicitor
says are willing to pay the expenses Of
his defense was as fruitless here as
it is said to have been in London.
Miss LIE Neve did not figure in the
crop of rumors. She continues to
spend her time quietly in the prison
infrmary, and is said to be improving
in health.

For Four Hours Friday He Told of
Oklahoma Indian Land Deal to
House Committee.
Copyright. 1907

Muskogee, Ok-With United States
Senator Thomas P Gore reasserting
his charge that he had been offered a
bride of $4,000 or $4,000 to influence
his action in congress and with ]. L..
HamOn, accused by the senator OF hay-
ing offered the bribe, denying he had
ever done any such thing, the inves-
tigation of the Oklahoma Indian land
deals, by a committee of the house
Friday simmered down to mass Of
denials.
For four hours Hamon, former chair
man of the Oklahoma republican state
committee, entered continuous Sc
ries of denials relative to his alleged
connection with what are known as
the McMurray contracts, by which, &C
cOrding to Senator Gore, 100000, Or
10 per cent Of $30,000,O00, to be real
ized from the sale of Indian lands to a
New York syndicate, was to be divert
ed from the Indians in the shape of
"attorney's fees"
Hamon also answered Congressman
C. E. Creager with denial. Replying
to the congressman charge that Ha-
mon had suggested that an interest
in the contract might be available to
the congressman if the latter helped
remove opposition to congressional ap'
prevail, Hamon testified:
at was just this way: l was down
here in Oklahoma attending to my
business when a friend told me Crea-
ger had said had approached him i'm
properly in regard to the McMurray
contracts. So hoped on train and
went to Washington. l got hold OF
Creager and said: Look here, you
know never said any such thing.
Then Creager said: Now Jake,
| that certainly was the impression |
got-that you suggested | might get
an interest in the contracts | re-
pIlGu. L Ou SSlIdluly dlS ulioIohCh'
Then Creager said: Well, if you say
should not go, won't go before that
investigating committee down at Mus
kogee and testify that you approach
ed me-"
Among lannon's denials were the
following:
He denied that he at any time had
been closeted with Senator Gore In
the senator's office at Washington to
urge the approval of the contracts.
He denied that he had ever men
toned Vice President Sherman, Sen
ator Chas. Curtis of Kansas or Con-
gresham B. S. Mcclure Of Oklahoma
as being interested" In the contracts
as charged by Senator Gore.

TEXAS RAINS CAUSED DROP IN COTTON

Were Known.

New York.-Accompanying report
that the Texas drouth had been Drok-
en- in part at least, cotton prices
broke thirty points Thursday. There
was a good deal of cotton on the mar
ket at times, some of it from houses
who have accumulated big lines IN the
last few weeks, but there was no evil
dence of decentralization, and when Tie
detailed weather reports from texas
appeared, showing less precipitation
than had been reported early, there
was a disposition to buy back some
of the cotton sold before the forenoon.
Prices steadicd up ten points in the
afternoon on this buying, but there
was no aggressive support pending
further details as to the extent or the
Texas benefit from rains. Ne" \ DIX
private dispatches took the stand that

most of the commission houses au-
vised the purchase of cotton on any
further break. One firm credited win
holdings of about 10000 bales sold
upward of $4,000 bales during the day.
On the other hand, mill interests were
good buyers on the decline ana II was
said that spinners had taken possibly
$4,000 out of the market during the
last week The Liverpool market was
the first to reflect the reported rams
in Texas and sent selling orders here.
Oklahoma advices report rain both
in Oklahoma and Texas and there was
a drop in temperature which in itself
was quite a relief to those who are
apprehensive as to crop conditions.

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS
Bottom Seems To Have Dropped Out
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts
of Manufacturers.

New York-Indications point to the
bottom having fallen out of the auto
mobile business. The manufacturers,
it is reported in trade circles, are
making strenuous efforts to keep up
a show of continued prosperity, but
it is also said that they are not sell
ing their product, but are storing ma
chimes throughout the country at their
various agencies to prevent the pub
lie realizing the true conditions OF
the market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts Of rea-
sons for so doing except the state
ment that they are overstocked. Two
or three of the largest factories re-
Gently closed entirely, ostensibly for
the purpose of taking inventory, but
the workmen were not given any def
mite time at which to again report for
work, and it is not expected that
these factories will again be in oper-
alton this year.
A well-known automobile agent Of
this city said yesterday that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
% per cent. to so per cent. less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perform the
same work, and while there was, for
time, tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and | venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced
