Cotton Market
Was BulliSh.

New York. oct. 3.--Although today's
government report on the condition Of
tho cotton crop did not fully bear
out some Of the extremely bullisl
private estimates, it was bullish
enough to start an active buying
movement which advanced prices to
a new high record for the season.
While there was tremendous realiz-
ing the market advanced to LILA for
December and to 14.3O for March be
fore there was any reaction of con-
sequence. Even then offerings were
so well absorbed that after selling
off some Is to 25 points from the top,
the market again rallied and at the
close was firm. with las. prices 20 to
30 points above the closing figures
Saturday.
Business was more general than at
any time since last May for the ex-
element which attended the closing
phases of the old crop bull campaign
did not represent such wide spread in
terest as the market now appears
to he attracting, owing to an appre-
hension that another crop is to fol-
low.

Is Decision in j. s. Cir
cult Court at Atlanta,
Holding Western Union Not
Liable on Federal Valuation.
States Passing Franchise Tax Laws
Prohibited From Collecting.

Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 3.-The Western
Union Telegraph Co. was held not
liable for taxes on federal fran
chise valuation of $950,000 in an opin-
ion handed down in the United States
circuit courts of appeals here today
in the case of the Western Union Co.
VS.. w. S. Wright, comptroller of the
State of Georgia.
In the opinion, which reversed the
lower court, it was held that as the
company had already been taxed on
a valuation of $756,000 by the state
on it's property. further tax on a
$950,O0O federal franchise value. was
excessive, particularly on view of the
fact that the profit made by the COM
pany in the state in 1908 was only a
little in excess of $1,000.
Attorney Albert Howell, Jr., who
represented the telegraph company,
in the federal court said after the
decision was announced that the case
was of more than local Importance
He continued:
"By this decision every telegraph
company in the United States which
accepted the post roads act of 1866
is exempt from state taxation on It's
franchise This means that states
which have passed franchise tax laws
will be prohibited from collecting
such taxes from the telegraph COM

rluded in the tentative death lists
caused by the swapping of barge
lowed to the battleship New Hamp-
shire in the Hudson river on Saturday
night reported for duty today. Eigh,
others reported as missing but not re-
membered as being aboard the barge
turned up safely. This reduces the
list of probable dead to %, with
missing. 80 in all. Last nights list
of missing was given out as IL, but
was increased later to is, leaving
with today's deductions.
Those of the Probably drowned
who are alive are:
J. A. Bonner Green Creek, n. j.;
T. A. Bonsall, Philadelphia and James
Greene. Cleveland, Ohio; E. w. Sieber

In the face of these cheerful devel-
opments two other drownings among
sailors of the fleet occurred today.
One of the crew of the Kansas, be-
Iieved to have been Gene Audit gave
his life in attempting to save young
woman visitor to the battleship. She
was rescued but he persisted. To-
night sailor cleaning the side of the
hospital ship Solace, lost his balance
and was swept under the vessel by
the swift tide. A companion dove
to the rescue. but without avail. The
latter was saved by the police boat
Patrol. The name of the victim was
not learned.
Graphing for the lost New Hamp-
shire men brought no results today.
One sailors body was found, but eX-
animation showed it to be that of
Joseph V. Dudley. a coal passer from
the repair ship Panther He had been
missing since Wednesday, Sept 2S.
The police theory is that many if not
all of the bodies have been swept
either into the lower bay or else far
up the river by the swift current
Dragging the river was continued at
low tide but not so much as a piece
of clothing was brought to the sur
face.

held on the New Hampshire this af-
ternoon. Chaplain w. G. Gassard Of
Heated. The service was attended by
all of the officers and surviving crew
of the New Hampshire. the officers

vestigating the disaster. has not fin

representing the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, conferred to-
day with Chairman H. c. Emery and
Alvin II. Sanders of the Tariff Board
about the investigation for the proba-
bic revision of the pulp wood and print

The tariff board has made more pro-
gress on the pulp and paper schedule

ard an expert has been in the field sew
eral weeks. Furthermore, the Tariff
Board has a great deal of information
at hand which was gathered ~ the
Mann committee for Congress.
The commissioners of corporations
today made public the August report
from the American Paper and Pulp
Association. 1t shows a substantial in
crease in production during the month
and an increase of stock of newspaper
on hand.
The months production, 102 $50 tons.
represents the output at all the mills
but one in the United States. The pro
duction for the first seven months of
1910 now averages $4,000 tons. the larg
est ever reported to the commission.
The August production was 81 per
cent. of the so-called normal.
Stocks on hand increased from 2S.22O
tons to 1920. the largest total since
September, 1909. A representative OF
the association. however. says the in
crease of stocks in August is largely
made up by a few companies and that
it represents chiefly paper for spe-
cific customers.

Pretenses and Larceny.
Young HaIstead's Brokerage Firm
Failed Last January.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Griffin Halstead,
son of the famous journalist, the late
Murray Halstead, whose well known
brokerage firm failed Jan. II last. was
indicted by the federal grand jury to-
day on charges of embezzlement, false
pretenses and larceny.
Two indictments were returned. On
deals with Halstead's alleged wrong
full conversion to his own use of two
notes aggregating $500 given to him
by John H. Howell, a customer. and
the alleged embezzlement of $4,000 in
cash which Howell alleges never was
credited to Howelrs account.
Another charge embraced in the
second Indictment relates to an alleged
similar transaction with Orinda f.
Yerkes, in which Halstead is alleged to
have misappropriated 200 shares OF
United States Steel preferred stock
certificates. valued at s25. 200 and bonds

trict attorney by Hubert kleinpeter,
chauffeur for Mrs. Mark Hanna, that
Halstead had wrongfully withheld 100
shares of New York. Ontario & Western
Railway stock. A warrant for the arrest
of Halstead was issued on jan 30 and
he was taken into court. He denied nav
ing wrongfuly used the stock in ques-
ton and friends tried in vain to effect
a settlement of the case.
The railway stock owned by Kleinpeter
the savings of a lifetime. His
story to the district attorney occasioned
so much sympathy that a statement was
made public at the time concerning the
loss of Kleinpeter who has wife ana
two children. Halstead's total indebted
ness was estimated by his creditors to
be go OoO He was declared bankrupt
