COTTON DROPS 80 POINTS
AS RESULT OF REPORT

NEW YORK, June 1.-The government
first cotton crop report of the season,
published at moo ntoday, proved rather
more favorable as to condition than had
been anticipated and caused quick break
In prices of from "a to 80 points under
the closing figures of yesterday.
Trading was very active and at the de-
clines there was a great deal of buying
owing to the fact that while the condi-
ton of 50 per cent was above the ten
year average the acreage showed an In
crease of only 2.S per cent. This made
the total number of acres SS,196,OOO COM
pared with 50, 292 COO planted last year and
81. $40. OCO. the estimated brea planted in
1908.
That a bearish report had been an
ticipated in many quarters was lndl-
Gated by the support which was given
the market following the break. Soon
shorts rushed to cover and there was
an immediate recovery, which carried
the market back up to levels but few
points below yesterdays close.
Although admitting the bearishness of
the figures, many traders said the re-
port had been largely discounted by the
recession in values on the break which
came earlier in the week.

MISSING JAN|TOR MADE
ESCAPE TO EUROPE?
Man Answering Description
Bought Ticket From Red
Star Line

LOUISVILLE, KY, June "A man
answering the description of Joseph
Vending, the suspected murderer Of
Alma Kellner. purchased a ticket from
New York to Antwerp on the Red Star
line, January 20. r. o. Brewer, the To-
cal representative of the Red Star line,
says the man paid $S2 for the ticket
He does not know the name of the
steamer on which the man sailed.
With contribution by city council last
night of $500 to the fund which will be
offered for the arrest and conviction of
the slayer of little Alma Kellner, the
charred remnants of whose body was
found buried in quicklime in a cellar be-
meath ST. Johns parochial school, the
sum has now reached $500. This will
be augmented probably today by an offer
by Governor Wilson of $500 on behalf
of the state. Smaller subscriptions of
from IS to 500 were rendered today by
citizens of Louisville. and it is expected
that before the end of the week the re-
ward will reach $4,000.
Chief of Police Lindsey says he has
received information which leads him to
believe that Joseph Vending, until jan
uaTy IA the janitor of the building be-
meath which the body was found and to
whom suspicion strongly points as the
murderer, remained in Louisville as late
as March J..
II have not fully proved this informa-
tion," said Colonel Lindsey, but it came
from such a source that 1 am almost
positive it is the truth"
The date upon which the inquest will
be held is as yet indefinite. Coroner
Duncan announces that there is yet
much work to be done before he will
summon a jury. With Captain Carney
chief of detectives, he. went carefully
over the evidence that has been gathered
with view to submitting it to the
grand Jury, If 1t is thought it will fur
nish sufficient grounds for an indictment
of anyone.

CONNECT DATTLEF|ELDs
By RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, D.. c.. June 1.-THE
gospel of good roads as taught by Tie
Atlanta Journal-New York Herald ma
tional highway project was reflected in
the United States congress and received
renewed impetus today, when Congress-
man Gordon Lee, of the Seventh district,
proposed the Construction BY the govern
ment of an sO-foot highway connecting
the battlefeIds of Chickamauga and
Feachtree creek. The. bill proposes that
the boulevard shall connect many of the
historic and interesting battle fields that
marked the memorable Conflict along
the line of, march between Chettanoosa
and Atlanta.
The battlefelds of Rockfaee. Dalton.
Snake creek gap. Resaca. Alpine, Cass-
vile, Altoona gap, New Hope church aud
Kennesaw mountain are some Of the his
toric grounds that may be touched by
the proposed highway, though none of
themi is named specifically in the. BILL
Mr.. Zee proposed that the boulevard shall
be known in history as THE Johnson
Sherman Way" as commemorative OF
Generals Johnson and Sherman, who
commanded the opposing armies in the
great battles and skirmishes along the
route. 1t is provided in the bill that the
secretary of war shall cause the route
TO be surveyed and the cost of its con-
struction reported to congress. Also that
the project be intelligently and econom-
ically handled by the government, once
tie actual work of construction begins
Mr.. Lee has long favored the construc-
tion of a national highway connecting
Chattanooga and Atlanta and during his
membership in congress has worked in
season and out to enlist sufficient SYM
pathy to have the. government build
the roadway. He believes that the time
is now propitious for pressing the pro-
ject. 49,
He attributes much of the good roads
sentiment and enthusiasm to the activ-
ity of The Atlanta Journal and the New
York Herald. President Taft is a warm
advocate of national highway from
Chattanooga to Atlanta as proposed by the
Lee bill. When secretary of war he be-
came enlisted in the project and stated
in an interview in The Journal that he
hoped and believed that congress would
some day construct the roadway.
