Southern Executive Criticises
AttOrney-G General at Meeting
of Confederate Veterans.

MOBILE, Ala, April 26.-The annual
reunion of the United Confederate vet
Grams formally opened today. The cold
weather of yesterday had given way to
sunshine. Morning trains brought sew
eral thousand veterans from all parts
of the South.
In his address of welcome today, Coy
ernor r. B. Conner. of Alabama, severe
ly criticised Attorney-General Wicker
sham for his prosecution of the men
who are alleged to have operated a
bull pool in cotton. He charged that
the encouragement is ''instituting
legal process for the arrest of citizens
who are trying to break the power of
speculative cliques which, through the
New York exchange. have fattened by
using millions of money to force the
price of cotton up and down and with
out regard TO the effect on the grower,
the consumer or the manufacturer"
In helping them. the Governor said.
the attorneN-general forgets the in
terests of the toiling masses of the
South. the poorest paid labor in Amer
lea. He was astonisheds at any officer
thus attempting to injure the citizens
of the South for the benefit of specula-
tors in the South's great product.

WOMAN WALKS
AFTER IS YEARS
PRAYING TO SAINT
Doctors Declare New York
Woman Could Have Used
Leg Years Ago.

| NEW YORK, April 26.-Doctors ex-
hpressed the belief today that the many.
years spent In bed by Mrs. Mary Bouil-
Ion, of ~ East 1o6th street, were
wasted, and that she could have
walked. had it not been for lack OF
courage that caused her to believe one
of her legs useless.
More than twenty years g Mrs.
Bouillon re, overed from an Illness to
find that her uppe left leg was affect
ed. An operation was performed re-
moving two and a half inches of the
thigh bone. The doctor ceased his calls
in q few weeks, confident that the knit
ting process would soon enable her to
walk by using a special shoe.
But year after year Mrs. Bouillon
remained in bed, always praying 60 st.
Anthony of Padua, until eighteen had
passed. Recently she decided the eff
cacy of prayer had cured her. Feeling
strength, she moved her body to the
edge of the bed, placed her right foot
on the floor and stood up. The left leg
was too short, but by placing books
on the floor and putting her left foot
on them she found that she could stand
on it and could even walk, except that
the stiffening of the muscles from her
long years in bed made 1t awkward.
She is now able to walk about the
house and occupy a chair near the
window. She is sure it is a reward for
her devotions to st. Anthony.

STEAMER AND 1877
MEN REPORTED
LOST IN NORTH
Sealer Aurora Missing Since
April MAY Have Struck Ice
berg and Sunk With Crew.

ST. JOHNS, n. B., April 8.-The
probable loss of the British sealing
steamer Aurora, with her crew of 1877
men. was reported here today by the
sealing steamer .Beothic. The Aurora
had been missing since April l. No
more definite news is expected until
the next arrival from the fishing
grounds.
Those on board the Beothic and Erik
reported that numbers OF seals killed
by the Aurora's crew and panied
upon the ice had drifted ashore.
The Aurora is owned by c. T. Bow
ring & Co. Ltd, of Liverpool. She is a
wooden steamer with a tonnage of $50
gross and 1856 net. She is 165 feet long,
S0-foot beam and was built at Dundee
in 1876. She has been sealing from
this port every year since 1877.
BOSTON, April 2s.-It is feared that
the Aurora collided with an iceberg in
the fog.
Nearly all of the vessels of the fleet
nave reported unusually large catches
of seals this season, and it Is believed
thai the Aurora carried down with her
a valuable cargo.
There Is still nope that the aurora
may have been merely delayed owing
to her engines. and his theory is en-
coIraged by the arrival at St. Johns
early today of the crippled sealer Erik
in tow of the Beothic, which brought
the Eews of the supposed disaster to
the Aurora.
There is, however, a possibility that
a big d~erelict reported recently in the
track of vessels in the European trade
by the northern route MAJ furnish a
clue to the mystery.
Captain Black, Of the Anchor lire
steamer Furnessia, from New York
for Glasgow. reported by wireless at
1855 o'clock last night that when las
miles southeast of Sable Island he mad
passed an object, seemingly a large up
turned vessel, in latitude 42.35 north,
longitude 60.47 west, directly in the
path of shipping.
The same derelict has been reported
for the last ten days by the Atlantic
liners, and the United States revenue
cutter Androscoggin made an unsuc-
cessful search for it. Should this be the
Aurora, however, she would have had
along drift from the sealing grounds.

BELLEVILLE FOLKS ASK
AUDIT OF TOWN. BOOKS.

Prosecutor Mott and Foreman Fur
man, of the grand jury, today received
communications from the citizens of
Belleville who are anxious to bring
about an audit of the books of the
township. 1t is stated that, with the
exception of the year 1909, the town
ship books have not been audited.
I One of the communications further
states that "one reason for signing this
letter as a committee. instead of in
dividuals. is that if some of the Belle
vile citizens knew who we were they
would make things hot for us and we
would not be able to live in the town."

s62o,oOO,00o Loss
TO AMERICAN CROP
BY RECENT STORM
Damages of Last Two Days Will
Mean Big Raise in Cost
of Living.

CHICAGO, April 26.-Crop experts re-
port. after figuring on data carefully
collected by wire, that the country mas
suffered a loss of $500, 0oO, 900 from the
visitation in the last forty eight hours
of snow. frost and freezing weather.
Half of the cotton crop has been
killed, they say, entailing a loss of
$225, 900, 900. The remainder of the dam
age is to fruit. vegetables and grain.
The direct and heaviest sufferers are
the growers, and after them the pub .ic,
which must pay high prices for nearly
every necessary of life. Vegetables and
fruit will be scarce, meat will go
higher, from the shrinksge of grain, as
will flour and other cereals. The spin
ner must pay more for his cotton,
which means an advance in clothing.
The weather conditions in the Far
South are extraordinary. Louisiana
and Mississippi and Texas report frost
and cold that severely damaged thou
sands of acres of cotton.
The greater part of Georgia is
wrapped in a snowy blizzard, and there
the cotton fields and crops of all kinds
have been devastated.
The demand for cotton seed with
which to plant to relieve part OF the
loss is 50 great that at New Orleans
the price for cotton seed rose to the
highest point on record, long STAPLE
selling for $3.50 a ton and ordinary seed
$50 to s75 a on. Cotton jumped $3.50 a
bale.
Heavy snow fell in Eastern Tennes-
see. Chattanooga reported a depth of
four inches. The blizzard also covered
Northern and Central Alabama. The
Washington weather bureau predicts
that the frost and storm wave has rot
spent itself, and that tonight there will
be heavy frosts or freezing temperature
in the East Gulf n South Atlantic
States; that a light frost may be felt
even in Northern Florida.
DR.. j.. Burrill. of the University o.
Illinois, says that the apple crop in the
central part of Illinois is a total loss,
and the same may be found true of all
Illinois.
Iowa Strawberries are said to have
been damaged so per cent. Michigan
has suffered heavily. Its many
orchards had an early start and early
fruit trees were in full blossom, while
others were in bud.
