 lows Sanitarium.
HEIRS GET CENT EACH
Estate Valued at S150,000 to s200.OO0 Grand Master Made Sole
 ExecutOr.

Newport. March 9.-The will of A. W. Shirey, the Minturn merchant, who was assassinated in his store last Taning by some unknown per- son, was opened here this morning.
 It was found to contain a provision leaving his entire estate, valued at between $15O,O0O and s200,0O0, to the Arkansas Grand Lodge, I. o. o. F., for the purpose of establishing and maintaining an Odd Fellows Sani- tarium at Hot Springs.
 The will was drawn June 9, 1905, witnessed by the president and cash fer of the Arkansas Bank and Trust Company, with whom it was deposit ed. It is a photographic and shrdlu ed. It is a photographic will and those who have examined it declare that they have every reason to be- lieye it is in every respect valid.
 The grand master of the order is named as sole executor until the next meeting of the grand lodge, which shall decide upon the further administration of the estate and the carrying out of the bequest. Louis Joseph of Texarkana is the present grand master Col John P. Paul, the grand secretary, now resident of this city, left this morning for Min turn to look after the business.
 He also leaves 400 acres of valu- able land in Lawrence county for the benefit of an orphans home or industrial school for the Odd Eel lows, as the grand lodge may deter mine.
 The will leaves lone cent and no more'' to his wife, Sarah Bell Shirey and to her child, from whom the years, and with whom he had not been congenial; similar amounts are left to his sister, Matilda Shirey Hit, deceased, and her children; to his brother, Barney c. Shirey, who is living, and his heirs to second sister, Eleanor Shirey Jones, and her children.
 The deceased was member of Minturn Lodge Odd Fellows. He had a great deal of domestic trouble dur ing recent years, which is believed to account for the character of his will

tion with the Pacific Electric railway
tracks and thence to the Alhambra
line, including Bairdstown and Rose
Hill, and thence along the east city
limits to Belvidere.
The South Pasadena and Alhambra
committees are heartily in favor of
making these cities contiguous to Los
Angeles. The Alhambra board of di-
rectors recently adopted resolutions
favoring the plan, so that future an
nexation to Los Angeles would be
made possible, but declined to urge
such annexation until that issue had
been more thoroughly discussed by the
people of Alhambra.
The Los Angeles county highway
commission, it is said, is to immedl-
ately improve the roads in the area II
is proposed to annex.
Except for q few residents of the
Arroyo Seco it is said the plan is ia
vored by every one directly concerned.
Only the question of property rights
and the problem of what valuations
will be declared in the event of con-
demnation proceedings prevents prop
erty owners of the Arroyo Seco from
Withholding their Endorsement.
The chamber of commerce directors
referred the request for their sanction
to a committee, and a report is eX-
pected at the next meeting.
Promoters of the plan say 1t has re-
ceived the Endorsement of nearly all
the prominent civic bodies.

HAWAIIAN COTTON
 CROP IS LIMITED

Atlanta, August 16.-The cotton in Ha- waii can hAver rival that of the south according to pr. E. V. Wilcox, director of the governments Honolulu experiment station, who is here on a trip of study of southern cotton culture. pr. Wilcox says that although the islands produce fine grade of sea island, bringing from 30 to 35 cents per pound, there are only 10000 acres suitable for cotton culture But 1000 acres are now under cultiva- ton.
 Dr. Wilcox brought with bim some seed of caravonia cotton to see whether it can be grown in this soil. He says that this cotton is perennial requiring only one planting. bearing each year from the same stalk. In Hawaii he says these cotton plants are pruned to prevent them from attaining height of 10 to 12 feet.

 On the other hand. the Smith forces set great store by the governor action in sending troops to the Durham mines to suppress the threatened riot ing on the part of couple of dozen ltai- ian laborers. They are counting on this and on MT. Smiths acts as governor in the Georgia railroad strike case to win him the bulk of the labor vote. It IS stated here, however, that the labor vote in Fulton Is divided between the two can didates, and that outside of the railroad employees, who are said to be pretty solid for Smith, the division will come some- where near an equality. ..
 Strangely enough, this is. one campaign in which Thomas E. Watson is not ex- tensively figuring. MT. Watson Is taking a few shots at some of the congress sional candidates he doesn't like, but in the race for governor he has had no one to tie to. He has, it is true, taken a shot or two at Hoke Smith. bN 1t is because of his feeling against MT. Smith, rather than any desire on his part to do toward the reelection of Gov ernor Brown.

Illness of C. W. Morse

A lot of stuff has been recently printed over the country, some of it of rather maudling nature, to the effect that Charles W. Morse, the former New York banker and ice king. who is serving 15- year sentence in the federal prison here. Is seriously III in the prison hospital Some of them have even had him near deaths door, and 1t is presumed that eff forts have been made to create this im- presson in order to excite sympathy for Morse, and to assist in securing for him a pardon.
 As matter of fact, Morse is in the hospital as a patient, but It is for trouble which he had when he entered the prison-a disease of the left hip joint which caused a limp. It was on this ac- count that he was sent to the hospital for the purpose of taking certain course of treatment, notably the Swedish exer- cises which he goes through with night and morning for half an hour each time, and as result of which he has shown considerable improvement.
 But he Is not confined to bed; on the contrary he sits around during the day and reads. It is reported also that he has been given a light work to do, the preparation of hospital statistics con- nected with the prison. Morse can hard ly d6 any physical work. but he is in as good condition for mental work as ever, it is stated, and this compilation or statistics will serve to employ his mind and interest him.
 There are more than 100 prisoners in the federal prison who have nothing to do, because there is not enough work to go around They are exercised for an hour twice day, but outside of that they re- main in their cells. With approximately 800 prisoners in the institution, 1t Is diff hcult to find work for all of them, even in big concern like that.
 Many of the prisoners are getting busy with their applications for parole. The parole board met here few weeks ago but only for the purpose of organization. Its first meeting to act upon applications will be held in October. It Is said there are approximately 200 prisoners in the in stitution wbo by reason Of having served one-third of their sentences. are eligible for narole

Campaign Against Weights


 Atlanta is conducting a red hot cam paign against short weights. It began a short time ago with the appointment of W. T. Buchanan. as inspector of weights and measures, under a city ordinance which attaches a penalty of fine or im- I.risonment or both for knowingly using weights and measures which are not up to the standard.
 The ordinance was an exceedingly len tent one, in that 1t gave all the short weight users a chance, even after their obliquity had been discovered. It was up to the inspector, for example, to visit all the coal yards in the city and inspect their scales. If he found they were out of joint, he was to notify the owners and require that they fix them. If they did so 1t was all right but if they failed cases were to be made against them.
 On this first inspection he found that A large number of coal dealers were us- Ing scales which weighed from 300 to 600 pounds short to the ton. On a later in spection, only one dealer was found whose scales were short, and as he had been among those notified, he was haled into court and fined for the first offense.
 When the matter was first taken up, the coal dealers, some of them were obsti- nate. ..
 ',All of them are selling short tons. " they said, "and we do not propose to stop it unless everyone is made to-"
 The second inspection showed. how ever. that with the exception noted. all the scales were acting with approximate fairness.
 Inspection of Ice
 Now the inspector has taken hold of the ice situation, and compelled all Ice men to carry scales on their wagons Many of them. it is said. have been in the habit of giving only about 15 pounds TOT 10 cents. whereas they should give full 25. Two or three of the ice men have re- gently paid small fines in recorders cour' l for failure to comply with the law. A systematic canvass of the grocery stores has not yet been made by the in | spect ,r but they are to be gone througf with just as the others have been. The unsuspecting consumer. 1t is stated | has no idea of the extent to which shor weights and measures are used and there is no adequate law in Georgia tt protect him. The Georgia law on the sub | feet of weights and measures is deat letter. The legislature has been ire quently appealed to for remedy for ths situation. but has done nothing
 Atlanta decided not to walt any longer so passed an ordinance, appointed an In l spector who is taking diligent Told upoi | his job, and it looks as If the situation bera uo,,ld he shortly cleaned up.
