of people have offered explanations.
It has been thought-and a great
many anti-baseball folk agree in the
view-that fan" is an abbreviation
of fanatic" There are many. how
ever, who stoutly contend that the
word has another source. A Dorches-

ITO say we are fans because of
fanatics Is too clumsy a word, and
annoys us. Look at baseball crowd
arising from lethargy to excitement; ;
see the arms and forms unfold into
hedlam. and you see a fan Of humans
spreading over the vista OF the stands.
That sight would explain the term
better" II has also been suggested
that the word comes from the action
Of a batter who fans" the air instead
Of hitting the ball. The crowd on the

cause him TO fan" are called fans. "

This interest was. to a great extent, run coming week will need more support from the long side than it required last week because of demand for covers will not be as great. This is a point that must not be overlooked. Again, large traders are accommodating huge lines of long cotton which may eventually put the market in the same position 1t was just beforv the sensational break from above 13.50c ts be- low 11c. The large line of long cotton owned by a certain bull clique made this break possible, and the accumulation of long lines now should be studied by all classes of traders.
 The market will not have a normal feel ing Monday because Liverpool will still be closed. The trade will express much the fluctuations on this side since Friday night.
 The movement of new cotton is now getting so large that it may become a feature of importance this week. Last week the statistics of interior towns were affected in a small way by receipts of new.
 Their effect ought to be increased this week. With the market balanced be- tween bullish and bearsh influences, new cotton moving in bulk might help the bears a whole lot.
 It is now nearing the time of tropical storms and already one two disturb ances of this sort have moved out of trop- ical waters For the next two months the bears will always have to contend against the possibility of a tropical storm that will disturb their best laid plans.

SENATOR BOURNE'S
 REPLY ID ATTACK

Washington, August 6.-Under the political system which has been built up in this country, government is not truly representative and will not be until the people have the power to make 1t so, said Senator Bourne of Oregon, who spoke in favor of the initiative, referendum and recall provisions of the Arizona constitution.
 Senator Bourne replied to the recent attack of Senator Sutherland of Utah on the advocates of initiative referen- dunn and recall. "Sneers are not argu- ment; ridicule Is not logic, declared Senator Bourne in answer to the terms which Senator Sutherland had applied to those who favor advanced methods of popular government.
 q believe in truly2 representative government" said the senator. The initiative and referendum supercede no state legislature They merely pro- vide the people with means of se- curing laws which legislatures refuse to enact and of defeating undesired laws which legislatures do enact The technical work of drafting a measure should be performed by men of skill in that particular, but the people a whole are the best judges of the principles involved, and can be trusted to pass upon the merits. The people of Arizona would better lose state bod than yield their right to control their state government"
 As to the recall of judges Senator Bourne said he saw no reason why man who occupied 8 judicial position should be governed by laws and stand ards of public service different from those which apply to executive or legis- lative offices. A judge who will listen to popular clamor will also yield to the wishes and interests of a political boss.

EVIDENCE IS LOST IN BEATTIE CASE
Magistrate Orders Clothes Burned Because of "Grues0me"
 Sight

Richmond, Va. August 6.-(Special. J. When the clothes worn by Mrs. Beattie on the night she was murdered were burned by order of a magistrate be- cause they were "gruesome," the state lost evidence that the woman was not in the auto, but in the road when shot, 1t is now admitted.
 This afternoon, however. Detective Scherer discovered three witnesses who will swear there was dust and dirt in the murdered woman's hair, which was disarranged, as if she had been seized and dragged by 1t. This evidence and the bruise on Mrs. Beatties face, bear out the theory of the state that the woman tried to escape. but was pulled back knocked senseless with the butt of the gun and then shot.
 The state will not disclose the names of the new witnesses.

THE COTTON MARKET WILL BE UNSETTLED ManipMat0rs Will Be In
 Control FEATURES ARE SNOWY Small Demand For Covers For Shorts Will Necessitate Support.
 Tropical Storms Will
 Help Bulls
FEATURES ARE SNOWY

New Orleans. August 6-The cotton mar ket this week promises to be an unsettled affair. Some of the largest operators in the cotton world have taken opposite sides of the market and a battle royal of wits and money is apparently to be waged be- tween them. Manipulation will be in ev- idence for some time to come; until fresh developments of great strength sweep the market from the grasp of manipulators at any rate. The manipulation that will undoubtedly be carried on will be the downfall of many a small trader who car ries too much cotton.
 In the immediate future the market will be less inclined to pay attention to the legitimate features of the market than to the more showy features, such as the buying or selling of huge lines of con tracts by the big traders for the purpose of swinging the market 15c a pound one way or another.
 Up to the middle of this last week the market was technically very strong, ow- ing to the large short interest it carried

 With Aviator Fred Coffyn as teacher and driver. Alger rose 500 feet Half way down the engine began to act badly.
 Both the professional aviator and the millionaire pupil retained their self-pos- session and maneuvered to keep the plane right side up as 1t fell. They succeeded in guiding it to clear spot to land, but it came down hard enough to smash the wheels and the elevating plane.

TAFT |S PROBING CASE OF DR. WILEY Investigation Will Give the Chief Chemist a Much
 Freer Hand

Washington, August 6.-(Special)-Dr Harvey Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, will not be asked to resign by President Taft as result of the charges preferred against him by the personnel board of the department of agriculture.
 This statement was made today on high authority.
 It was stated also that the President would not sustain the resolutions of Sec retary Wilson and the personnel board in any instance; that he Ghe PresidenO would not reprimand Dr. Wiley for his employment of Dr. H. Rusby, out of which the charges against pr. Wiley grew.
 President Taft is not vet ready to an- nounce his decision in the pr. Wiley case, because he is making 8 personal investl- gation of animus of the charges against the chief chemist. Secretary Wilson's statement in his recommendations that he had approved the employment of Dr. Wiley caused the President 10 go deeper into the 'backstairs" politics than he first intended.
 President Taft will make his investL gations exhaustive. The result of them will be that he not only will refuse to concur in the recommendations of the secretary and his personnel board. but he will ''cean out the politics and repr- mand some of those who have sought to niure the administration through their attacks upon the chief chemist.
 All the evidence being submitted in the investigation by the House commit tee on expenditures in the department of agriculture is being received at the White House and the President is digesting it. By this and some evidence he himself is gathering in the department the Pres- ident expects to make his "clean up.' AS
