Los Angeles, Cal.-The question of
the amount of bail which Mrs. Daisy
Turney KrauSs, divorced wife of VIM.
Krauss, a prominent Memphis physi.
clan, must furnish to remain out of
Jail while she is awaiting trial in the
superior court, was settled in Police
Judge Williams court Friday.
Though the district attorney con-
tended that the present amount of
1900 should be doubled, the Judge
allowed it to stand.
According to a statement made in
the district attorneys office, the trial
of Mrs. krauss will be one of the
biggest sensations of its kind in the
history Of the superior court. The dis,
trict attorney is setting aside one
week Of the trial for the reading of
letters which Mrs. Krauss wrote to
various men. The nature of the let.
tiers is said to be startling. In all
the district attorney has collected
900 letters, and the six days set aside
would not be sufficient time to read

Washington-The recent summary
OF the census oitive shows a very

For example. in 1900 New Orleans,
Louisville and Memphis were the only
cities that could show more than 100,.

Nashville and Richmond moved up to
the class Of cities with 10000 or
more persons.
Of the eighteen cities throughout
the country showing the highest per-

are Southern cities. The list includes
Oklahoma City, which still leads the

POSSE KILLS TWO.
Farmer Said to Have Been Cause Of
TRIBE Murder.

Fort Meyers, Fla.-E. j. Watson, a
well-knOwn farmer, and Wesley Cox,
an escaped convict under sentence for
murder, were riddled with bullets on
Tuesday night by a posse which went
to Chatham Bend Sunday to capture
the slayers of Miss Ellen Smith, A.
Waller and "Dutchy' Renolds, who
we're killed ten days ago.
Watson, who is known as a desper-
ate character, reported the killing of
the three persons at Fort Meyers last
Saturday. He claimed that he had
captured Cox and produced the lat
ter's coat and gun as evidence. He
was asked to produce the corpse and
to find this a posse accompanied him
to Chatham Bend.
Arriving there, Watson Joined Cox,
who was still alive, and put up a
desperate resistance before both were
riddled with bullets.
The murder of the two men and the
woman was committed by Cox and a
negro who is now in jail here. He
confessed to the crime, declaring the
murder was done at the instance Of
Watson, who owed the three victims
money. Miss Smith, n of the vic
tins, was a unique character, being
of masculine proportions and living by
herself on the edge of the Everglades.
She hunted and trapped and was
called tn "Big Squaw" by the Indians.

TO START AN ANTI-COCAINE CRUSADE
New Regulations to Reach the Whole.
sale Dealer.

New Orleans.-A very strict law.
regulating the sale of cocaine and
placing the brunt of the worry in
connection with it's enforcement on
the wholesale dealers in the deadly
drug, will be adopted at the next
meeting of the State Board Of Health.
District Attorney Adams had a con.
ference with Benjamin Waldo, attor-
ney for the State Board of Health,
which resulted in the drawing up Of
a provision which will be inserted in
the sanitary code of the board.
The new law provides for the first
offense a fine ranging from $40 to
5000; for the second a fine ranging
from $25 to $500; for the third a fine
from $50 to $500, and for subsequent
~offenses terms of imprisonment for
the offender for not less than 10 days
nor more than six months.
Statistics recently compiled show
that the use of cocaine is steadily on
the increase, and drastic meanS must
be taken to put a stop to the curse.

CENSUS SHOWS ONLY $4,000
BALES GINNED.
December Advanced From 1891 to
14.+9-Rise Followed Decline
Of 40 Points.

Memphis, Tenn.-There was an ad-
vance of $50 to s. per bale in the
cotton market Tuesday, while trading
was active and at times excited.
The rise followed a decline Of ITO
to l2U points, which eliminated on
Monday evening, but whereas the de-
cline occupied more than a week, the
advance was the doinS Of one day.
The moving factor vas the report on
cotton yiNned to October IS by the
census bureau, showing a total OF
5~,l1V,OVO bales, and some Of the most
bearish predicted 100000 bales.
Last year there a ginNcu TO this
date $3.50. 800 bales, and the crop Waa
only lo.O0O.OO0 bales. In 1908 there
was ginNed G.229i 900 and the crop was
.J,>21,G10 bales. The crop this year
is late, but The bulls claim that, al
lowing for thai, the ginning is 100
small 70 Justify claims for anything
Tor than a crop Of ll,ooU,O 900 bales.
The showing was so surprising to
bears that for the moment they APP
pear without argument, although the
weather continues most favorable and
crop reports from the Atlantic states
say that the yield has been greatly
increased by delayed frost and the
pleasant weather.
On the decline Southern spot mar,
kets gave way and it was feared that
the position was being greatly weak
ened and that holders might become
demoralized. Stimulated by the small
ginning returns the days news was
that these holders were advancing
prices and would not sell at former
concessions.

New York.-The third day of the
international aviation meet at Bel
