MT Aiken declares that if the govern- ment had the legal right to proceed against a combination of speculators whose purpose was to force up the price of cotton, it has the same legal right to prosecute a combination seeking to de- press the price of the same commodity.
 Tt is certain,' he added, that bear pressure on Wall street has forced a de- cline of fully 3 cents per pound in the future market, thereby roDbing the south of approximately $l05,000,000 and giving it to foreign spinners. This decline has been brought about by the bear element oversellng the market, publishing raise or misleading statements and combining to keep buyers out of the market"
 The Attorney General agrees with MT. Aiken on the general proposition that if cornering a product to increase it's price is illegal similar cornering to depress the price is likewise illegal
 The formation and operation of pulp corner to increase the price of a com modity, he adds, is clear, but he does not understand by what process a bear pooI' Is organized and conducted.
 Moreover" he continued, it is not quite clear insmy mind how such a beau pool can operate to restrain interstate commerce"

AFT AIRS SINPERS|A AT CRITICAL STAGE Further EncrOachments on Persian Territory Is
 Threatened

London, November 13.--Affairs in Persia
 have reached stage which promises further encroachments upon that king dom's independence by Russia and Great
 Britain. Since their agreement dividing the country into spheres of influence these two nations appear to have worked in harmony in the direction of gradual ab- sorption. If Russia's ultmatum is car ried out Great Britain will take the south ern sphere.
 | The ultimatum was presented to the Persian government more than a week ago. It declared unless apologies were
 made for the alleged insult to A. Petroff,
 Russian vice consul, on the occasion of the seizure of the property of the Shua- Es-Sultane and Persia made other repara- tion, Russia would occupy two of the provinces In the north.
 Last week the Russian troops in the
 north it is reported, were augmented by strong endorsements. At the same time two regiments of Indian troops were land- ed at Bushire, a seaport city, on the Per sian gulf, nominally stated to guard Brit ishe consulates in the south, although there is no apparent need for such forces.
 The Daily Times, replying to long communication from w. Morgan Sinister. American treasurer general of Persia, complaining that Russia and Great Britain are attempting to destroy the independ- ence of Persia, denies that Persia is inde-
 pendent It says that Russia and Great
 Britain exercise control over Persia akin to that by guardians over minor.
 MT. Shuster declared that it was the announced policy of Russia and Great Britain to thwart the restoration of order and the upbuilding of a strong govern ment and to keep the country in a state of financial collapse.
 Teheran, November 13.-The head of the Russian section of the Persian foreign office today informed the Russian minis ter that as the new cabinet had not yet
 been formed. it was impossible for the government to reply immediately to Rus sa's renewed demands for. an apology in connection with the Petroff affair.

Chief Justice James Keith made this official statement to the clerk: 'In the Beattie case the court being of opinion that the judgment of tho lower court is plainly right, doth refuse the petition for a writ of error."
 Seventeen bills of exceptions were filed with the highest court by Beat ties counsel Cases were cited in an attempt to show that in the closing address to the jury Prosecutor Wen- denburg had erred in his demand that Virginia should open the graves of all murderers hanged heretofore and apol- ogize to their bones if Beattfe is per- mitted to go free.
 Early this afternoon H. c. Beattie. Sr., visited the penitentiary and was escorted to the death chamber, where. in a faltering voice, he notified his son that the appeal had been denied. The prisoners iron nerve did not de- sert him. He did not seem to feel or comprehend it's meaning but he en- deavored manfully to comfort his aged father, whose grief was manifest.

Tennessee Suffers

Nashville, November l3.-Belated reports of the storm that swept over middle Ten nessee Saturday night and sunday morn- ing reaching a climax in a cyclone at lotion, in this county, as coming In to- day. In a number of towns houses were ,inroofed, fences and wires blown away fand corn fields leveled.

Cornell Walters Strike

Ithica, N. Y, November 13.-Fifty men, Cornell students, who, in working their way through the university, are walters on the tables of the co-eds in Sage dormitory, struck today. As a consequence the 400 girls are compelled to wait upon themselves. The boys struck, they say, because they were obliged to eat butter that had come back to the kitchen from the girls tables and to drink milk they believed to be watered.

Dr. Wu Advises Abdication

Shanghai, November 13.-Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese minister to the united States, who recently was ap- pointed secretary of foreign affairs un- der the proposed reform administra- ton, has telegraphed long address to Picking urging the regent prince, Chun to abdicate. He points out that since the Emperor's edict admitting respon- sibility for present conditions and promising reforms, there has been an atroclous massacre and 10 provinces have severed themselves from the throne without struggle
 Wu Ting Fang adds nothing but the adoption of republicanism can bring peace and stop the shedding of the blood The regent, he says, should emulate the exam pie of the ancient emperors Yao and Han who abdicated after choosing the hest available substitutes.
 Dr. Wu promises that if the regent wakes up and works for the republic the citizens will respect and support him in a style compatible with his birth as the peace and safety of the Manchu clans are not excluded from the national aims
 The appeal concludes:

New Orleans, November 13.-The bliz- gard which swept over greater part of the United States Saturday and Sunday at the rate of an express train' smash ing thermometers, freezing vegetation and Sbringing shivers where there was sunshine. actually made the old earth culver. and quake, if one is to believe the records of the state seismographs and the deductions of the scientists who attend them Not only that but the seismic elements promise to come back at the atmospheric elements in an effort to demonstrate superior power.
 All day yesterday micro-seismigram.' were recorded at the Louisiana State uni versity here, and today just before noon they developed into a regular earthquaKe' The disturbance was not of destructive character.
 The observer at the university stated that the quake and tremors whlcn pre- ceded it were probably due to the Vioieh' atmospheric disturbances and rapid changes of pressure over such a large area of the country
 "The present seismic disturbances are not ended" he said. He added, and more violent shocks will probably be recorded in the near future."
 The main shock today began at 10:4S a m. a maximum of four millimeters on the east-west needle was recorded at ii a. m. and at 11:O6 the maximum swing on the porth-south needle was two milii- meters. .@
 Damage to Crops
 Considerable damage was done the sugar and trucking industries in Louisiana ana Texas bv the unseasonably low tempera- lures of yesterday and today. Freezing weather extended as far south as the mid dle gulf coast today with the tempera- ture 27 degrees, as far south as Alex andria, La. M
 In a large part of the sugar belt cane | is. still standing in the fields. and the cole I snap came so suddenly that few planters | had time or sufficient force to give any protection to the crop.
 The cold came too late to do much dam age to cotton except to injure the grade hut the high winds of yesterday stripped the scattered open bolls clean In some sections.
 Increasing cloudiness is indicated for the west gulf states tonight and Tues day. but the weather bureau promises a general rise in temperatures.
