WOULDN'T THIS FROST
YOU? AND MORE COMING!
Middle West and South Visited by
Snow and CoId-Great
Damage Is Done

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Amazing
weather conditions continue in the
middle west and south. Snow fell in
Missouri, eastern Kansas, Tennessee,
Georgia and several other southern
states today, and the indications were
that the weather tonight would be very
cold, considering the season. There
was frost as far south as northern
Louisiana.
In all the states mentioned there was
great damage to crops, particularly to
fruit Some snow fell in Iowa, but
Nebraska had clear weather with low
temperatures. Atlanta, Ga, reported a
snowfall equal to any recorded there
during the winter. Around Hopkins
vile, Ky, five inches of snow fell and
the crop damage in that state is esti-
mated at 100000.
Reports from Louisiana and Missis-
sippi indicate that thousands of acres
of cotton have been severely damaged.
Northern Alabama reported snow and
sleet. Seven lumber boats which left
Chicago had to return to that port be-
cause of the severe storm on Lake
Michigan. Two lumber schooners lost
a part Of their cargoes.
ST. Johns, n. F., reported hot wave
In districts where at this season tenn
peratures are usually below freezing.
Thermometers registered as high as IS
degrees in the shade.

COTTON PRICE SCARS AT
REPORT OF CROP DAMAGE
Bulls Stampede Market, and Big
Squeeze Seems Imminent

NEW YORK, April 25.-Not since the
big break of January last has the New
York cotton exchange seen so much
activity and excitement as today.
II was a time of triumph for the
bulls, whose already strengthened po-
sition as regards the old crop was
sensationally stimulated by reports of
disastrous weather in the south.
1t is argued that even if the south
finds enough seed TO replant the en-
tire area reported damaged, the cold
SNAP has made 1t look like late crop
and that mills consequently will be
dependent upon old crop supplies for
a long period.
Seldom has such a flood of crop
damage reports poured into the local
trade from so wide an area as today
and for the time being it seemed that
the excitement in the new crop months
was overshadowing the old crop situ-
alton, possible legislation at Washing
ton, the government investigation or
even the failure of southern houses
Damage complaints from the south
were in many instances accompanied
by southern buying orders and almost
all the fresh buying for long account
was said to be for new crop delivery.
October cotton sold at 1894 cents, or
81 points above the close Of last Sat
urday, while May touched 1892 cents, or
a gain of only twenty-one points from
the closing price of last week.
The market closed at practically the
best point Of the day so far as the
new crop was concerned, and trading
during the last half hour was prob
ably the most active of the entire ses-
sion.

LODGE PASSES BUCK TO
DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, April 25.-In accord
ance with an agreement reached be-
tween Republican senators last Tues
day, Senator Lodge gave notice in the
senate today that he would not fur
ther press his resolution appropriating
S65 900 for extension of the senate cost
of living committee. He gave as the
reason for his attitude the opposition
of the Democratic senators.
THE obvious attitude of the other
side renders II impossible to get vote
and l do not feel like interfering with
the railroad bill by holding the resolu-
tion before the senate said Mr.
Lodge.
Mr.. Stone protested against Mr.,
Lodges statement.
I'VE do not accept the statement of
the senator from Massachusetts that
he cannot bring his resolution to a
vote because of the opposition on this
side. He presented the resolution and
it was a proper subject of discussion
If the senator wants to withdraw the
resolution he can do so. If he desires
to run up the white flag he should dc
so, but he should not run up the white
flag so soon"
When >the Lodge resolution was
taken up for discussion, Mr.. Percy eX-
pressed the opinion that it was a po-
iitical move. He said he could not
bring himself to support it without al
amendment extending the inquiry into
cotton speculation, declaring that in
all "the spoliation of the south through
trusts and combinations under the New
York Cotton exchange, not once hao

When the improvised special arrived

that when Hudson demonstrated Ken

DIVORCED FROM SON OF
OSCAR HAMMERSTE|N
Reno Judge Grants the Decree on
Grounds of Failure to
Provide
Especial TO The Herald.)

RENO, New, April 25.-Mrs. Jean
Hammerstein this afternoon was
granted decree of divorce on grounds
of failure to provide from Arthur
Hammerstein, manager of the Princess
theater, New York and a son of Oscar
Hammerstein, the impresario. The case
was called in the district court before
Judge Pike.
Mrs. Hammerstein testified that she
was married in Jersey City when is
years old. She is 80 now and has never
been an actress because she was mar
ried too soon. Her domestic troubles,
she testified, came to a climax two
years ago in Philadelphia, when HAM
merstein, who was building a theater
there, told her he did not love her any
more and she left him. Mrs. Hammer
stein asked that her maiden name,
Jean Allison, be given her. This the
court refused to do until she explained
that Hammerstein had three brothers
in Europe of the same name. and that
he was going to marry again, therefore
she did not want the name. By special
request the court did not decide upon
the custody of the child. a 14-year-old
girl now going to school in Philadel-
phia. There was no money settlement,
Mrs. Hammerstein stating that she
had sufficient property rights of her
own. Mrs. Hammerstein has been a

LIMBURG-AN- N-DER-LAHN, Prussia,
three dirigible balloons of the German

day and was destroyed.
The airship. which was forced to
descend here last night owing to a
storm encountered while attempting a
return trip from Homburg to Cologne,
broke her moorings and without crew
drifted in a northeasternly direction A
few hours after its escape the dirig1ble
dropped at Weilburg and was smashed
to pieces.
OF the three aerial cruisers which
made the successful flight from Cologne
to Homburg, where they were reviewed
by Emperor William and their officers
decorated, but one returned to Cologne
under its own power. This was the
Parseyal, which struggled triumphantly
against yesterdays gale. The Gross II
was sent home by train.
Zeppelin II started out bravely yes
terday morning but was forced to
descend here later, being unable to
make further headway against counter
currents and also being short of gas.
The military stations at adjacent gar
risons succeeded only with great diff
ficulty in holding the machine on the
ground during the stormy night. At
noon today the gas bags were refiilled
and the journey to Cologne was about
to be resumed when sudden squall
tore the dirigible from its moorings,
tossed it about In the air for thirty
minutes and then dropped it with a
bang that put an end to the monsters s
careeer.
Two companies of infantry made flu
tile efforts to hold the airship when the
ropes broke.
What caused the craft to descend
after so brief a flight is not known, but
it is thought probable that the gas bags
were torn and the mechanism damaged
while it was making its escape.

CASHIER KNOWN AS EASY

Say the Detectives

NEW YORK, April 25.-Secret SER
vice agents here believe the same men
who feeced William F. Walker of
$4,000 of the money of the New Brit
ain Savings bank three years ago got
their clutches on George Coleman, the
cashier of the National City bank of
Cambridge, Mass, and took a big slice
of the 100000 or so which he is charged
with having embezzled.
With the arrest in Massachusetts of
William J. Kelljher, detectives in the
case of Coleman were transferred to
New York city, where they hope to
arrest two suspected confederates of
Kelliher Coleman is said to have been
separated from his money in q house
on Forty-fourth street, where he was
known as the "easy mark from Cam
bridge" according to the police.
With the Walker case as a guide the
secret service men believe they will
have no difficulty in running down the
gang. The same methods we're en-
ployed with Coleman, a woman acting
as lure. Tho two men were good
friends of the cashier and led him on
to risk the banks money in the vain
hope of recouping the loss of his per-
sonal funds.
Both faro bank and wire tapping
games are believed TO have been en-
ployed as fleeing mediums.

YERKES' GOTHAM PICTURES
NOT CHICAGO 'D0UBTFULS'

NEW YORK. April 25.-The late
Charles T. Yerkes himself wrote the
catalogue describing the works in his
art collection, the recent auction sale
of which here broke many art sale rec
ords. This information was made pub
lie today by Thomas f. Kirby who
conducted the sale, in answering for
eign questions as to the genuineness of
some of the works in the collection.
ANY criticisms of genuineness must
have applied to paintings In the old
Chicago collection made by Mr. Yerkes,
according to Mr.. Kirby who added:
1.-The old Yerkes collection was
largely a different collection from the
New York collection sold the other day.
Much of the Chicago collection has
been sold or traded for the works
which composed the later gathering.
For the New York collection Mr..
Yerkes was his own cataloguer. He
got out for private CIRCULATION a cata-
logue de luxe that cost thousands of
dollars. We merely reproduced that
catalogue in cheaper form"

SURE, WALSH WOULD LEAVE
JAIL IF HE is PARD0NED

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., April 25.-
John r. Walsh, the banker, would ac-
cept a pardon from the United States
if rendered him, but the aged financer
has in no way had anything to dc
with the circulation of the petition for
his release.
This statement was made tonight by
Warden McClaughrey of the federal
prison at Fort LeaVenworth, where
Walsh is confined.
Dispatches from Washington say that
before acting on the petition, the de-
partment of justice viii ascertain
whether the document represents the
wishes of the prisoner.
Previous experiences have made the
department careful about acting on pc
titions for pardon that do not bear the
prisoners name. If such petition is
denied the prisoner is barred from
making a new application for pardon

HEINZE BREAKS EVEN
ON FOURTEEN COUNTS

NEW YORK, April 25.-Seven of the
found against F. Augustus Heinze last
month in connection with his handling
of the Mercantile National banks
funds while he was its president We're
dismissed by Judge Hough in the
United States circuit court here today
Judge Hough sustained the remaining
seven counts.
This indictment was included in a
consolidation indictment on which
Heinze's case was called to trial today
A number of counts in various indict-
ments against him have been previ-
ously dismissed, but two other indict-
ments will hold good. One was found
in January, 1908, containing fifteen
counts for oyercertification and fifteen
for misapplication, and another in May
1909 containing one count for misap-
plication.
The last or 1910 indictment was at
once attacked by Heinze when he was
called today The panel of jurymen
which had been summoned was ex-
cused and the court heard the argu-
ments on the motion to dismiss. 1t was
urged that the indictments were bare
of statements of facts sustaining the
allegations Of criminality in connection
with loans to Otto c. Helnze & Co. and
to himself, as charged in the last in
dictment
Judge Hough in dismissing seven
counts in the 1910 indictment said the
ground they covered was essentially
the same as that covered by the seven
others which he sustained.
The motion of the defense to invali-
date service of subpoenas on Heinze
was denied by Judge Hough. The sub
poenas call for the production of books
and records of the United Copper COM
pany and for the production Of books
and papers of the State Savings bank
of Butte, Mont, in so far as these
records or books concern Heinze.
