 EGYPTIAN COTTON
United States Plans to Pro- duce Important Require
 ments of Cotton Goods

Washington, May 5.-(Special )-That the requirements of the cotton goods in- dustry necessitates the importation of approximately 6OoOoooo pounds of Egyp- ton cotton. costing s16.0Oo,oOo, is probably unknown to the majority of readers, wine read of the enormous crops of cotton produced in our southern states and learr that during the last seven months al records have been broken and practically $500 ,OO0 GOO worth of that staple has been exported
 But 1t was the considerable value of this import that induced the United States department of agriculture several years ago to endeavor to develop Egyp- tian cotton culture In the United States in order to supply our own markets with a homegrown product.
 Although experiments were made at different points from South Carolina to Texas, as well as in western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California, 1t was only in the Colorado river region that climatic and other conditions similar to those in the Nile valley, and suited to the long staple Egyption cotton were found. There 60o,000 acres of excellent land are, or soon will be, under ditch in the Imperial, Yuma, Salt and Gila val produce the amount of Egyptian cotton annually imported for the use of New England mills.

ATTORNEYS CLASH
 IN MURDER TRIAL
Warm Personalities Mark COlse of Alexander Case.
 Jury Is Still Out

The case of Robert H. Alexander, charged with the killing of A. O. Lid don at the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street last May went to the jury yesterday afternoon at 6:10 o'clock
 A verdict was not arrived at last night at o'clock so the weary jury men who have sat on the case which has been in hearing before Judge M. F. Cahalan since Monday, were allowed to return to their hotel. They will re- sume conference on the case this morn ing.
 The augmentation in the case was closed for the defense yesterday by Attorney Robert N. Bell and for the state by Jesse F. Stallings. It was one of the most hard fought battles ever remembered of a criminal case. Person. alties were not spared when point was to be gained and the counsel for the defense referred to the prosecuting at torneys as hirelings.
 With equal vigor one of the attor- neys for the prosecution came back at the counsel for the defense. He rep resented to the jury that an insult had been offered the state when the states attorneys were referred to as acting with pecuniary motives. He then showed to great advantage three at torneys representing the state and nine the defense, and asked the jury if it were evident to them what inducement had been held out to secure such a number of attorneys for the defense. The court room was packed with spectators who stood throughout the whole of the afternon to hear the clos ing arguments. Many Of them had been in attendance at the trial during the entire week and their interest was none abated up until the timo it was finished
 short recess was taken after the close of the argument and at 5:45 o'clock Judge Cahalan delivered the charge to the jury which was of 25 minutes length. He undertook a gen eral review of the facts in the case 1 and instructed the jury with refer ence to the different degrees of mur- der and man slaughter and the penalty therefor, and other minor points, The | charge for the defendant was read by Deputy Clerk David U. Williams, and the jury retired.
 The jury will probably come to . decision today.

ties have been undertaken in southern Arizona, southeastern California and Egypt and several bulletins have been issued giving detailed reports of the prog ress made and success achieved.
 Just now the department has issued an- other pemphlet Bulletin 210, bureau of plant industry) reporting the results of a visit to the cotton growing districts of Egypt in June and July 1910, of the bionomist of the department, in which is shown that the mixture of IIndi cotton is proving to be a serious burden upon the Egyptian cotton industry. Hindi is the name applied in Egypt to an unde- sirable type of cotton with short, weak fiber, that injures the high-grade Egyp- tian varieties by infesting them with hy- brids. The introduction of the Egyptian cotton into the United States brings also the problem of the Hindi cotton, and tn, practicability of establishing a conner cial culture of the Egyptian cotton in tn United States depends largely upon tn, elimination of Hindi contamination ant other forms Of diversity, so that the fibe may be produced in a satisfactory con diton of uniformity.
 Breeding experiments have shown tha 1t Is possible to secure a much higher degree of uniformity in Arizona than now exists in most of the cotton fields oi Egypt. If reasonable care be used in maintaining the uniformity of these types it does not seem that the American grown Egyptian cotton is likely to suffer any commercial disadvantage on the ground of lack of uniformity even though the Egyptian habit of hand-sorting Is not followed
 The exclusion of the Hindi cotton by an efficient system of selection will en- able white varieties to be grown produc- ing longer and stronger fiber than the brown varieties are likely to afford, and will further the development and preser- vation of uniform strains of Egyptian cotton in the United States.

FUTURE COTTON
 CONTRACTS VALID

Laurens, S C., May 5.-Contracts for the future delivery of cotton at a specified price are valid and cannot be violated by the farmer or his agent according to a decision rendered in the common pleas court here today when Cooper & Griffin, cotton dealers, were awarded a verdict of $5650 against J. M. Pitts & Brothers of Clinton.
 The testimony in the case brought out to what great extent the farmers and merchants lost on future contracts during the year 1909. A large amount of cotton was delivered at 10 cents, when the prevailing market price was 15 cents or better. The farmers in many instances repudiating the debt.
