ure of steele, Miller Company,
Three Members of which
Are in Jail.

NEW YORK, Sept 2O.-While cotton
men of two continents are discussing
plans for guaranteeing bills of lading, 1t
is not generally known that the courts
of this country have yet to untangle the
snarl of litigation created by the failure
of Steele, Miller & Co. of Corinth, Miss,
whose crash preciptated all the trouble
Three members of the firm already have
been sent to jail, but various civil ac-
lions growing out OF the case have to
be adjusted.
Thtse actions involve thousands of
dollars and will be settled in the supreme
court at Brooklyn, where the cases are
on the calendar All are actions in
equity and the plaintiffs are Mississippi
banks and the Delaware, Lackawanna
q Western railroad. All seek to recover
from the New York Dock compny cotton
shipped to New York by Steele, Miller &
Co. for which Stephen Weld, New York
cotton broker, held bills of lading which
the plaintiffs charge were forged.
Cotton valued at $4,000 is the basis of
two actions brought by the Lackawanna.
Weld G. Co. here held one bill of lading,
but before delivery the Steele Miller COM
pany disclosures came and the Bank OF
Holly Springs. Miss, and the first Ma
tional bank Of Jackson pressed claims
for the cotton with what purported to be
the original bills of lading. The Lacka-
wanna, rs carrier, established to its salts
faction that the Mississippi banks were
entitled to the cotton, but the New York
Dock company, into whose hands 1t had
passed, declined to give it up in the face
Of a claim from Weld & Co. The Lacka-
wanna thereupon replevined the cotton
and on motion Of the dock company was
made codefendant, in order that all in
terested parties might be represented in
the suit. Similar suits were then quickly
filed by the Bank of Macon, Miss; the
Granada bank and the Bank of Tupelo.
The Granada banks case has already
been submitted to the court and de-
cision is expected soon.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Sept. S0--The Iowa
university students heard their merits
and shortcomings discussed today by
their new president. John G. Bowman,
who made his first address to the faculty
and students. lie said that owing to the
development OF the high schools In Iowa
the undergraduates of the university
were better prepared than the average,
though less cosmopolitan. due TO the
fact that Iowa is an agricultural state OF
small cities and towns. He continued:
You lack sense of humor which
might save you at times from the idea
that you are created with special favor
in a difficult world. You lack, further,
ease Of conversation. versatility and in
some degree. the constant gentility which
is the pride of 4 Columbia boy. And IL
YOU are as you were fifteen years ago
you are deficient in aggressive college
spirit, which makes for your own well
fare.
'On the other hand I am proud OF the
fact that YOU are endowed with as high
native ability as any student body and
that as Iowans you come with more
seriousness of purpose than does the aver
age college student"

How to "Shed" A
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt 10 cover up or
hide a sallow complexion, when you can
so easily remove the sallowness, or the
complexion itself Rouge and the like
on a brownish skin only emphasize the
defect. The better way is TO apply pure
mercolized wax-the same as you would
cold cream-putting 1t on at night re-
moving 1t in the morning with warm
water and soap, following with a dash
of cold water. The effect of a few ap-
plications is simply marvellous. The
half-dead cuticle is absorbed by the wax
-painlessly, gradually, in tiny imper-
ceptible understanding the beauti-
full velvety white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a sallow blotchy
pimply or freckled complexion If she'll
