NEGRO ROBBERS
 ARE ROUNDED UP

New Orleans, April 26.-After success fully holding up and robbing the crews and passengers of street cars on several occasions, gang of negroes, disguised white men, were rounded up by the New Orleans police on the outskirts of the. city early today. In a running bat tie with the officers one of the negroes was fatally wounded.
 To throw off all suspicion as to their color the negro highwaymen wore white kid gloves and masks that completely covered their faces. Following several hodups, Chief of Police O'Connor and Chief of Detectives Reynolds last night yaid trap into which the highwaymen fell The result was a running fight shortly before daylight between Alfred and Ollie Smith, brothers, and Patrolmen Roy and Jackson immediately after the negroes had held up 8 car on the Peters aveftfe line. The negroes were making for the swamps and exchanged score or more shots with the patrolnen.s Alfred Smith, one of the negroes, finally fell with several shots through his body, and his brother was captured a short time later.
 The capture of the Smiths resulted in the rounding up of several other negroes alleged to be members of the gang, which has been operating successfully for a week or more. A trunk filled with valuables taken from passengers was being prepared for shipment when the subsequent arrests were made.

DAMAGE Ii COTTON
 IS DISASTROUS
Freeze Has Had Effect Upon
 All Southern Crops
CROP BULLETIN ISSUED
Stormy and Freezing Weather in the Mississippi Valley Has Hindered Farming and Seriously In-
 jured Much of the Crop

Atlanta, April 26.-Last nights re- ports of the damage done the young cotton crop by the cold wave which overspread the entire southland Sun day night and Monday were not exag- gerated. This is proven by reports from all sections of the cotton belt which indicate that at least 50 per cent Of the young cotton was destroyed Further damage in some sections was added by the frost of this morning in parts of Georgia, north Alabama, Ten nessee and the Carolinas. Ice was re- ported this morning as far south as Thomasville, on the southern boundary of Georgia.
 Cotton seed oil mills in this and oth- CT southern states have signifed their willingness to supply farmers with seed to the extent of their stock, but it Is thought there will not bc sufficient seed available to replant the cotton de- stroyed by the cold. The prevailing price for seed is s1 per bushel, or about double what the farmer obtained from the mills. In some instances the cot ton fields will be plowed up and planted in corn.

Effect of wenther Upon Crops

Washington, April 26.-Nhe effect of last weeks weather upon crops throughout the country is set forth in the national weekly bureau bulletin of the weather bureau as follows:
 Considerable snow occurred at in- tervals during the week over the mid dle and upper Mississippi valley, lake region and Ohio valleys, that during the latter part of the week being com paratively heavy and extending south ward into the northern portion of the gulf states. Some damage resclted from the breaking of fruit and shade trees from the heavy coating of snow but it was probably more than off, set by the protection 1t afforded the vegetation from the freezing weather following.
 "Stormy weather greatly fnterfered with farming operations over the more northern districts and freezing temper atures did immense damage to fruits and vegetation of all kinds in the Ohio and middle Mississippi valleys and the northern portion of the gulf states wh ere, on account of the warm weather during March, the season had been un- duly advanced.
 "Over the southern portion of the great plains, including the western DOT tions of Kansas and Oklahoma, consid- erable damage resulted from high winds and a lack of rainfall and drouth stil continues over the greater portion oi the Florida peninsula.

SEVERAL TARIFF ACTS
 WILL BE COMPARED

Washington. April 26.-An effort was made today by members of the repub- iican majority of the House to have published and bound 10000 copies of a comparative statement of the tariff acts of 1907 and 1909 for use in the coming congressional campaign. MT. Underwood of Alabama objected. The resolution was withdrawn for the pur- pose of obtaining the authority of the ways and means committee for the publication.
 MT. Underwood contends that. these papers will show that Canada and oth- CT countries have been given large trade advantages by means of the granting of the. minimum rate without the United States having received proper concessions In return. The reso- iution will be called up probably next Thursday by Mr. Underwood for action hy the House

Cotton Seed Very Scarce

New Orleans, April 26.-Tha.t- the southern planter faces a serious prob lem in the matter of securing desirable seed for replanting was the concensus of opinion among cotton men here to- day. Reports from Mississippi, Ala bama and Georgia and other sections which felt the hand of the cold wave would indicate that much difficulty was being met by those who were endeav- bring to purchase seed of the better grades.
 As a shortage of seed was noted before the cold spell, the planters realized after their cotton had been killed that the mat ter of securing seed was a matter de- manding immediate attention. One hun dred and fifty dollars ton seemed a fancy price to many of those who went into the market, yet great deal of seed has already changed hands at this price, Much seed is being offered at $40 to $50 ton f. o. b. New Orleans, Montgomery and other points, but the cheaper grades have been found so full of dirt, hulls and refuse that those who are in the market for seed are generally seeking a better quality.
 However, few cases of extortion have been reported, iD spite of conditions, the oil mills and other concerns with a supply on hand gladly offering to help out the planter in what they consider a public calamity. Those who have high grades, however, find that they cannot part with the seed except at high price, One man who had shipped two carloads of seed to Mexico announced today that he was con templating bringing them back, but that it would have to be sold at $50 or s20O a ton to cover expenses. This seed was originally bought in the Carolinas and was of the best grade

FRESHMEN STRIKE
 ON CHICAGO PAPERS

Chicago, April 26.-Local No. 2 of the Chicago Webb Pressmen's union. struck on the Chicago daily newspapers today but the places of the strikers were promptly filled from other sources by President George L. Berry of the international union.
 The trouble started a fortnight ago in the pressroom of the Inter Ocean as result of a dispute between unions as to jurisdiction
 The dispute is over the appointment of Charles II. Rogers as foreman of the pressroom of the Inter Ocean. Ac- cording to a statement issued by the publisher of this paper, Rogers was formerly a webb pressman but of re- cent years has been in charge of a fiatbed establishment. He has always been in good standing in his union, but union No. z refused to accept his card President Berry ordered Rogers to as- sume his duties, which he did, other members of the union thereupon walk ing out Members employed on the re- rnaining newspapers followed today

CABINET MEMBERS
 SPENDING MONEY Sumptuous Offices Fitted Up
 for Departments SOME OTHERS CAREFUL Obeying Policy of the Administration to Hold Down the Expenses of Government as Much
 Possible
SOME OTHERS CAREFUL
Fly JONATHAN WINFIELD

Washington, April 26.-(Special. )-Not-
 withstanding that earnest efforts have
 been made in government departments to
 "cut down expenses in order that a
 more economical system may be estab-
 lshed in the management of the govern ment business, some cabinet members
 spend the public money in ways that
 have caused widespread comment. The
 Secretary of the Treasury and the Sec
 retary of the Interior have spent several
 thousand dollars fixing up their offices
 to make them conform more to the digni- ty of cabinet members.
 | Contrary to these officials are Secretary
 Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and Secretary Wilson of the
 Department of Agriculture. Under the present administration not one cent of the l governments money has been expended | by either of these officials in fixing up sumptuous quarters. Attorney-General Wickersham, Secretary of War Diclkin- son, Postmaster General Hitchcock and
 Secretary of the Navy Meyer have fine offices in their respective buildings, but
 since the present regime they have not
 been renovated or touched
 Secretaries Meyer, MacVeagh and At
 torney-General Wickersham all excep-
 tionally rich men, have been alluded to as the "aristocrats' of the present ad-
 ministration, and yet an inner personal
 knowledge of their characters in some de- gree refutes the statement
 | MT Won Meyer, by reason of his long association abroad as minister of the | United States to Italy and also to Rus sial gives one the impression that he is | of foreign extraction and imbued with the idea of aristocracy. When in personal touch with newspaper men and his every day associates different impression is obtained. In fact he is one of the most democratic members of President Taft s cabinet.
 | Mir MacVeagh, although possessed of great wealth, is very genial and cordial | In manner. He has spent about $10.0Oo in | furnishing his new office quarters in the treasury building, installing a private el- evator, etc, but these facts are not held | to be proof of a feeling of superiority or exclusiveness. To show his democracy | fact pointed out by his secretary, R. O.
 Bailey, stamps him as typical Ameri- | can.

Bridgeport Conn, April 26.-The ques- ton of the disposition of two mortuary funds of the Knights of Columbus was brought before Judge H. c. Curtis in the superior court today in a friendly suit in behalf of those who date their mem bership prior to 1902.
