HURTz CAPTURED
WHILE SLEEPING
Slayer of Champion Prize Fighter
Claims Self Defense and
Insult to Cook
tAssociatsd Presa>

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, Oct. 16.-Wal-
ter Hurtz, who shot and killed Stan
ley Ketche. worlds middleweight
champion, yesterday morning, was
captured today at the home of Thorn
as Haggard, one mile from Niangua,
Mo.
Hurtz was taken to the Webster
county Jail at Marshfield, where ne
is being closely arded.
After being placed in his cell Hurtz
made a confession in which he de-
clared he shot Ketchel in self defense.
He said he ordered the prize fighter to
throw up his hands and when the or
der was not obeyed, he fired.
Late last night, overcome with hun
ger and fatigue from fleeing through
the Ozark mountain country, Hurtz
reached the home of Haggard, where
he applied for a place to sleep and
something to eat. He was given food
and a bed. At that time Haggard had
not heard OF the shooting, but learned
of it a short time later. He also re-
ceived a description of the slayer.
For several hours while Hurtz was
sleeping Haggard stood guard with a
shotgun. Shortly after o'clock this
morning Haggard secured the services
of three neighbors and they awakened
Hurtz at the point of a gun. They
forced the man to roll up his sleeves
and finding a tattoo mark there ac-
cused him of having killed Ketchel.
He broke down and admitted the
shooting. Later he was turned over
to the officers and taken TO Marsh
field.
llurtz. in telling the story of the
shooting. asserts that Ketchel made
insulting remarks to Goldie Smith, a
cook employed at the farm. He says
words passed between Ketchel and
himself and he then demanded that the
pugilist throw up his hands. When
the champion refused to do TINS, ne
declares he was so frightened, know
ing Ketchel carried a revolver, that
he fired and without fully realizing
what he had done, fled.
Goldie Smith, the woman in the case,
has been taken to the Webster county
iail and will be held pending an in
quest to be held tomorrow.
Funeral services over the bodv of
the fighter were held at the Elks'
club here today. Tomorrow the body
will be taken to Grand Rapids, Mich,
the home of KetchePs parents. The
hody will be accompanied by r. p.
Dickerson, with whom Ketchel was
visiting.
Local officers assert that Ketcheps
SLAYER tonight admitted that his real
name was Walter Dipley, that his home
was at Webb City, Mo-, and that he
was deserter from the army.
To avoid detection he roamed over
the country working as barber, un-
iii he met Goldie Smith at Bluff MO-,
a month ago. The two then came here
and secured work on the Dickerson
ranch.
Goldie Smith, over whom the shoot
ing is said to have occurred, reiter-
ated today her statement of yesterday
that Ketchel had made insulting re-
marks to her and that she told Hurtz
Of it She said she and the SLAYER
were not man and wife and had
known each other little more than a
month.
The slayer has not been told of the
statement made by Mrs. Smith and
he maintains she is his wife.

MILLIONS
IN COTTON IMPORT
United States Buyers Break Rec
ord for Vast Purchases
of Foreign Product
Especial to The HeraldI

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16-Nearly
the fiscal year 1910, imported into the
United States, the worlds greatest cot
ton-producing country, the exact fig
ures being S6,097, ,691 pounds, valued at
$15,S16,138. This is a larger sum sent
out of the United States to buy cotton
than ever before, except the year 1907,
when the total was $19,930,9S8.
Most of this cotton from abroad is
produced in Egypt, but more than
dozen other countries and all the con-
tinents contributors the grand total,
though presumably none of that COM
ing from Europe is the production of
that section of the world. The total
quantity imported direct from Egypt
in the fiscal year 1910 was 57,911, $50
pounds. valued at $11, ,4S3,555, while
10 0OO, 900 pounds, valued at $200O,OOO
speaking in round terms, came
from Europe; 100000 pounds, valued
at a little more than $1,00O,0OO, came
from Asia: 100000 pounds, valued at
about 81 10000 came from South
America, and 100000 pounds, valued
at 1885, 900 came from North America.
ENGLAND GREAT PRODUCER
OF the 1O,OOO,0OO pounds imported
from Europe nearly all came from
thither chiefly from Egypt, and in less
quantities from British colonies. The
next largest contributor after Egypt
and England is Peru, from which
6. 75O. 900 pounds, valued at $1,0S5,97S
were imported. From British India
nearly 5,5O0,O0O pounds, valued at $543,-
6O7 were imported; from China, over
4. 100000 pounds, valued at $526,OS
from Hayti S51, ,002 pounds, valued at
40. NToUinO 00e mounds lne0
at $655S; and from the Dutch East In
dies = Java and Sumatra = 374O44
pounds, valued at $9S,432, with smaller
quantities from Venezuela, Santo Do
ningo, the British West Indies, the
Dutch West Indies, Panama and Mica
ragua; while from Canada 46,422
pounds. brought to that country from
other parts of the world, were i'm
ported.
cotton was in 1910 about 30 per cent
higher than that of American cotton
exported in the same year, while few
wears ago the average price of import
ed cotton was nearly 100 per cent high
err than the average export price OF
domestic cotton. This is practically
due to the increasing share which cot
ton from countries other than Egypt
forms of the total imports of that ar
ticle. Egyptian cotton, by reason of
its length and fneness of staple, al
ways commands a price materially
higher than that of American upland,
the average import price of cotton
brought from Egypt having been in
1910 20 cents a pound, against an aver
age export price for American upland
in that year Of IA cents; and In l90o
15h cents for Egyptian, against little
less than cents for American. This
question of price indicates quite clearly
that the 100000 pounds of cotton i'm
ported from England in 1910 was also
of Egyptian origin, its average import
price having been 20 cents pound

PARIS WORK GIRLS ON
STRIKE MOB 'BLACKLEGS'

PARIS, Oct. 16.-The Paris "mid-
inettes"-the workgirls who have been
on strike for several weeks-went "fox-
hunting the other afternoon. The ex-
preston "fox- x-hunting" is Socialistic
slang in aris for the chase of the
"blacklegs."
Three hundred of the "midinettes"
marched in a body to the Rue Mont
Cents, near the fortifications. A large
number of police marched with them
to prevent disorder, and the girls
marched out through the gate outside
Paris, where the police, whose duty
ends within the town, could not follow
them.
The strikers called a halt for lunch.
which they ate on the grass grown
slope of the fortifications, and seeing
them peaceably inclined the police
marched back to barracks.
But luncheon was merely a ruse. AS
soon as the police had gone the mid
inettes" formed into close order,
rushed back at the double to the Rue
Mont Cents, broke open the door Of a
workshop where "'blacl1legs" were em-
ployed and assaulted the Workgirls
with umbrellas and hatpins.
The police, who had been telephoned
for, returned in force and charged the
strikers. In the scuffle one of the
"midinettes" was seriously hurt and
another was arrested. Several police
men were badly scratched, and one OF
them lost tooth in the struggle.

WILD WEST SHOW ANIMALS
MAKE SABBATH REST DAY
Fox Terriers Seem to Know When
Sunday Comes

Sunday is rest day for man and beast
in Buffalo Bills Wild West show. Inc
horses, ponies, dogs. 'camels and ele-
phants appear to recognize the day
when 1t comes and ceasing their chat
ing at halter and chain stretch out on
banks of straw for an all-day nap.
Yesterday a dozen fox terriers lay
curled in the straw at the entrance to
the cook tent Pointing to them, Larry
Bradley, one of the business managers
said: '"rhose little fellows seem to
know when Sunday comes. during
week day they would be barking and
scampering about, but today they are
dead to the world and only AWAKEN
to eat"
In. the animal tent hundreds OF COW
ponies and trick horses lay stretched
on straw. Five elephants, huge fell
lows, whose trunks ordinarily are never
still were browsing ona their beds of
straw, each with his foot on another's
back, the quintet forming black
circle with their great black hulks.
Several camels browsed over an un-
finished meal. one of them keeping
watchful eye on the throngs of persons
that passed them.
Joe Baily, one of the most valuable
horses in the show, rose to his feet as
Bradley came to him. This horse,
said the manager, patting him on the
shoulder "can almost talk. He seems
to know everything that goes on about
him. When the band begins to play ne
prances about in a pleased manner and
seems to take actual delight in enter
ing the arena.
DOGS SHOW INTELLIGENCE
"Among all the animals the dogs and
horses seem by far the most intelli-
gent The elephants are tame as kit
tens, but the camels seem to take
mischievous delight in nipping the can
vas men when they are not looking.
Sunday" said Bradley, 1.-The en-
ployes line up like a regiment of SOL
diers for inspection. Every button
must be in it's place and the men must
be clean and neat. The camp is kept
in a most sanitary manner"
Among the hundreds of employees
moving about the big incIosure there
was perfect order There was no loud
or boisterous conduct, no oaths, no in
toxication. Every man appeared to
have his place and his orders.
Queen May, a COW pony that has
travelled all her life with the show and
whose sire and dam were lassoed by
Col Cody on the plans as outlaws and
broken by him for the exhibition, gave
birth to a colt yesterday morning
which the camp attaches named Los
Angeles. Queen May has trod the
arenas of Europe and America. Her
colt, like herself, will be broken to
chase the stage coach with Sioux
brave astride it's back Los Angeles,
like her mother, will be a traveller.
While many of the ponies in the Wild
West show were captured as outlaws
from the plains not few of the horses
have been born and raised in the SER
vice of Buffalo Bill. These horses have
learned the time they are expected to
enter the ring by the shots and shouts
of the combatants and know the course
they are to pursue after they have en-
tered the arena. Camp attaches say
that should a week day be missed in
giving a performance at the hour they
are usually sent into the ring the ami
mails become restless and hours pass
before they are again quieted.

SIXTEEN FAIRGROUNDS
OPENED THIS MORNING
Attendance of Children Breaks
the Record-FuIIy 1000
in Throng.

Juvenile Washington today is in its
glory. The Fairgrounds in the big yards
surrounding sixteen of the public schools
are open.
The following is a list of the grounds
opened: White schools-Congress Heights,
Arthur, Jefferson, Bowen, Ketcham, Den
nison. Henry, Ludlow, Industrial Home
and Towers; colored schools-Magruder,
Phillips. Langston. Payne. Bell and
Stevens.
There were no formal exercises incident
to the Fairgrounds opening for the season
of 1910, and in many instances the little
folks were so enthusiastic that they did
not wait for the directors to appear and
unlock the gates-they simply piled over
the fences and organized their own games
on the base ball diamonds and hand ball
courts, and attached themselves as hui
man pendulums to the swings, parallel
bars and swinging rings.
And toddling infants were lifted over
the barriers and set down to play in
blissful content in the sand piles pro-
vided for their particular delectation.
Attendance Fully 1000.
The crowds at the opening of all the
Fairgrounds were record breakers, and it
was estimated that fully 1000 children
were included in the throngs who helped
to make the first day of the season an
undoubted success.
During the morning hours from $50
until II 80 o'clock the directors rounded
up the older boys and girls and selected
their assistants and leaders to aid in the
supervision of the sports of the rank and
file. AS many as dozen boys and girls
on the various grounds were selected to
act in this capacity, many of them
chosen for their able assistance last year

On half dozen of the grounds weay.
