COTTON ADVAhGE QF g TO 30 POINTS  Two Features Were Statis- tical Report and the
 Weather

New Orleans, May I3-The net re- suits in the market for cotton futures this week was advance of to 30 points. The high prices were made on Friday and the low prices on Monday At the highest the list was Is to 33 l points over last weeks and at the low
 est 1t was 10 to If points under. From
 the lowest to the highest there was a l rise of 30 to 46 points
 This week there was but two fea-
 lures that commanded any attention,
 They were the Statistical position and
 the wea ther. Early in the week it l looked as if the weather would just about balance statistics, but a little
 rain fell and the weather lost much of Its weight. Prices made a remarkably steady rise and in this the new crops shared more fully than had been ex- pected. considering that the old crops are under manipulation. From Monday on the new crop months derived sym pathetic strength from the old. The latter touched new high levels for the season but the former still remained about a dollar a bale under the high records, not because of any tagging Otnl1Q lllS Hcoh Dut dS liiC iCodAi Oi

 months in former weeks.
 On the weekend the trade agreed that the weather was all could be desired, and that the crop was, if anything getting
 better start than it had last year. At the same time the short side made no move to increase it's commitments, and on the closing session a lack of offer ings was very noticeable. Continued good trade reports from
 England and somewhat better business In some lines of cotton goods in thls
 country intensified the effect of stalls ties Tn this weeks tables the visible supply was put only 5000 bales over, ai- though it was last year at this time, when it was called very small and en- tirely inadequate to meet the reqnire-. ments of the world.

I'm the course of few months we
shall have about ten miles of trans

In the vicinity of Tucson. Ariz.," said
President C. X. Durbin of the Albu-
querque Gas. Electric Light & Power
company yesterday.
The merged electric light and power
companies with which Mr.. Durbin Is
affiliated have made a specially OF pro-
vidlng power for irrigation from the
Tucson plant, and according to Mr..
Durbin, the electrical pump is increas-
ing in popularity and utility IN that
section.
From eight TO ten plants are now
In operation near Tucson" said Mr..
Durbin, served from the central
plant. Among recent applications for
power Is one from a Mormon colony
which Will irrigate n thousand acres
of land and which wants i50-horse-
power for its pumps. At the Uni-
versity of Arizona, where they have
been pumping for the past seven
years, they are lifting the water 100
feet and paying 5 cents for their cur
rent. In the course Of the next few
years we will likely double and triple
our transmission lines for irrigation

That the Santa Fe Railway COM

on fuel oil for engines, was the highly
gratifying statement made here yes
terday by Fred b. Houghton, a for

This means nothing more nor less
than that local consumers. in case the
pumping plan is generally followed,
will be able to get their solar oil for

step taken since pumping for irriga-
ton first began to be discussed here
and does away at once with the fear
that fuel oil delivered in this city
would be so costly as to make the
pumping plan Improbable.

less than $1,000, including his build

! The news that the railroad company
will cooperate by making il possible

ceived with great interest and pleas

such rate was one OF the most im-
portant points in connection with the
pumping plant and to have u reason
able rate at once offered Is gratifying.
1t is, however, in line with the we'll

INSANITY DEFENSE
IN SANTA ROSA
MURDER CASE
M'NABB INSISTS THAT
HARGIS RUINED HIS HOME
Precedents in Thaw Trial Cited
By Attorneys LarrazoIo and
Mann in Trial of Vaughn Man
Charged With Murder.

Especial dispatch TO the Morning Journal
Santa Rosa, n. NJ, Feb. 1i.-Emo-
tional insanity will be the defense OF
e. G. McNabb, on triar here before
Judge II. r. Wright for the killing of
II. II. Hargis. The tragedy occurred
at Vaughn on October Is last. o. A.
Larrazolo, for the defense, this evening
outlined his case. Mr.. Larrazolo said
that the defense would prove that
McNabb killed Hargis while suffering
from insanity, which was induced by
brooding over the ruin of his home
by Hargis. The attorney for the de-
Tense in his opening statement to the
jury declared that he would prove
that McNabb was n married man, liv-
ing with his wife at Vaughn. That
he was a travelling salesman and
forced TO he away from home a great
portion of his time in pursuit of his
calling. That while the defendant
was away from home. Hargis made a
practice OF visiting Mrs. McNabb and
remaining late at night, and that on
the Saturday preceding the date of
the killing. Hargis went to Tucum-
carl with Mrs. McNabb and remained
over night. This conduct, argued Mr..
Larrazola, so preyed upon the mind
of the prisoner that he was not re-
sponsible for his actions on the day
the killing occurred.
The first witness for the defense
McNabb, and who lived at the Nc
Nabb home. Stone was asked wheth-
er or not Hargis had made practice
of visiting the McNabb home during
the absence of the husband. Judge
Mann, for the prosecution, at once
objected to the question and lengthy
argument ensued. The rulings in the
Thaw case We're cited by both prose
cution and defense and Judge Wright
finally ruled that the question was ad-
missibie. AT this juncture, the court
adjourned until tomorrow morning.
The prosecution closed its case at
the afternoon session today. The evil
dence adduced was largely similar TO
that brought out at the preliminary
hearing. :. The only new testimony
brought out was that of one Jackson,
a detective connected with the Field
Detective agency. Jackson testified
that he had caused himself to be ar
rested at Santa Rosa and incarcerat-
ed in the county Jail with MeNabb.
During the time he was in the Jail,
he swore, McNabb told him that he
was obliged TO do what he did be-
cause Hargis was trying to ruin his
home.
District Attorney II. II. McElroy Is
assisted in the prosecution by Judge
Edward A. Mann of Albuquerque and
Judge Henry Swan of Santa Rosa.
The case of the defense is In the
hands of Hon. O. A. Larrazolo of Las
Vegas and c. e. McGnnis of Santa
Rosa.
