Cotton Gamblers of New York Keep
ing Tab on Sales to Farmers.
A New York dispatch says: Every
year when cotton prospects loom
large in the calculations of specu-
lators the New York brokers watch
the humble mule with a watchful
eye. Many mules sold in the mar
kets of st. Louis, Kansas City and
other centers are held to mean many
acres of cotton, the mule being the
unit of cultivation. Figures received
in the brokers offices since March 1
show heavy horse and mule ship
ments, indicating that the southern
planters are seeking the sinews of
the cotton fields. Figures for four
months show an increase of nearly
Is per cent over the same period a
year ago, and this means, according
to the wiseacres, that the cotton acre
age in the south has correspondence
increased.

PRISONER TWICE
PAROLED is DEAD
j. Wess Moore Suecuhbs II
Days After He Is Liberated
for Second Time

After the state board of prison di-
rectors had exercised an unusual pre-
rogative in granting a second parole
and leave to absent himself from the
state, j. Wess Moore, convicted in 1900
of murder and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment and who was paroled in
1908, at which time he organized the
Wednesday in Indianapolis, Ind. while
on his way to his brothers home in
that state. Moore was absent on his
second parole, his first having been
revoked by the commission because of
his activity in his work with the So
cial organization he had promoted. He
had been liberated 12 days before his
death.
Moore was sent to San Quentin from
Trinity county, where he had mur-
in prison he was paroled and pledged
his life to the uplift of former con-
victs. He was drawn Immediately into
a conflict with the California prison
commission, social organization
headed by Charles Montgomery and
finally, after he had addressed num-
Der of meetings for the Society of the
Friendless, was rearrested and sent
to prison again from Santa Cruz in
1909 His second arrest was merely
for breaking rules of the state prison
directors.
While in prison he wrote number
of Indifferent poems and sentimental
essays on prison life. These he pub
lished in book form when liberated
Since his last arrest his health had
failed and it was his physical condition
as we'll as a plea from eastern rela-
tives, that moved the directors to give
him second parole. He was 65 years
of age:
The unusual consideration extended
to Moore was explained by Prison Di-
rector Tirey L. Ford last night. who
said:
'It is very unusual for us to grant
a second parole and to give the applf-
cant the right to leave the state. While
it is within our power, we rarely exer-
else it. Moore's health was failing
and as he was pretty we'll advanced in
life, we thought that the least we could
do would be to let him get among his
own people"

FLINTS NAME USED
IN ALAND CONTEST
Rancher Declares He Was AS
sured Senator Would Take
Care of Claim

Los ANGELES, Aug. 25-The names
of United States Senator Flint and the
law firm with which he has been as
sociated here were brought into the
hearing today before United States Sur
veyor General Archer. who is taking
testimony to determine whether the
federal or state government has title
to about 100000 acres of valuable bot
tom lands in Riverside county lying
along the Colorado river in California,
so miles above Yuma. The testimony
which brought out Senator Flints
name produced something of a sensa-
ton
L. L. Morse. a hotel keeper and
rancher of the Palo Verde valley, where
the land in question is located. stated
that he was induced to file on some of
the land as state land on the represen-
tation of J. H. Levering, a civil en-
gineer interested in the effort to have
the land declared property of the state,
who told him. according to Morse's
statements, that "he might as well get
in on this that Senator Flint was
taking care of the Washington end"
and that the Los Angeles law firm of
Gray, Barker & Bowen was handling
matters here. The law firm is Senator
Flints old firm and he still maintains
Offices in connection with it,
How did you happen to apply for
such land?" Morse was asked
valley and saw me-" Morse replied
He said that those lands would be
reclaimed by the government and that
I might as well get some for myself.
I told him ] didn't think there was any
possibility of that, but he assured me
there was. He said that Senator Flint
was taking care of the Washington end
of it and that Barker, Bowen & Gray
of Los Angeles would take care of this

The firm of Gray, Barker & Bowen
represents various persons who are en-
deavoring to prove that the land is

the state. If they are successful. hun

dated and large number of settlers
forced to relinquish their land
Levering was placed on the stand in
the afternoon and declared there was
no truth in the story told by Morse.

said it was unnecessary to bring the
name of Senator Flint into the case as
he knew nothing about IT.

horsepower Hall motor will be mount
ed and the final test of the air craft
made before Baldwin essays to wing
his way from the hills of the Marin
county military reservation.
The machine in which the aviator
will make his fight is built somewhat
on the lines of the Curtiss craft,
though Baldwin has incorporated a
number of features of his own. For
the last two months he has been MAX
Sacramento, and on one occasion he
raced with train for three miles.
This work has merely been done in
preparation for the test which Baldwin
hopes will make him one of America s
foremost birdmen.
Arrangements were completed yes
terday with the army officials by which
two government tugs will be stationed
out in the bay directly in the course
Of Baldwin's proposed fight. To safe
guard himself and his machine the
aviator has equipped the framework
with pontoon arrangement which
will keep the air craft afloat should it
fall to the bay j. M. Patterson and
John Beatty, managers of Baldwin,
have provided for the press on board
the Slocum. The flight is scheduled
for $50 a. m. Saturday.

RAILROAD DENIED NEW
TRIAL IN DAMAGE SUIT
Attorneys Therefore Appeal in
Famous Phillips Case

SEWARD, Alaska. Aug. 25-United
States District Judge e. E. Cushman
today denied a motion made by the at
torneys for the Copper River and
Northwestern railway company for a
new trial in the damage case in which
tR Phillips was awarded $4,000 dam
ages against the company for injuries
received In the keystone canyon battle
two years ago.
Before giving his decision Judge
Cushman said that unless Phillips
would consent to a reduction of $4,000
in the damages awarded by the Jury he
would grant the motion for a new trial
as he considered the $4,000 awarded
in the verdict as excessive. Phillips
agreed.
The attorneys for the railway imme-
diately gave notice of an appeal to the
United States circuit court
