SEND WARSHIPS
TO SAN DOMINGO
Action Taken to Protect American In
terests on Island Where
Revolt is on.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Thc cab
met decided that the situation in San
to Domingo was such, as the result of
the assassination of President Ca
ceres to make it expedient for the
United States to have naval force
there sufficient to meet any demands
for the protection of foreign lives and
property and to insure the mainten-
ance of order and the observation of
law.
No American warship was within
hundreds of miles of Santa Domingo,
but as soon as the decision of the cab
met was communicated to Admiral
Wainwright, chief Of operations, he
sent orders ~ wireless to the chief OF
the Atlantic fleet directing him to dis
patch the two big armored cruisers
Washington and North Carolina to
Hampton Roads. No one at the navy
department knew the exact location
OF the Atlantic fleet which was con
Quoting a search problem somewhere
off the Maryland and Virginia coast.

IS A soRD1D STORY
Defense Will be That Husband Only
Got What He Deserved For
His Brutal
Actions.

DENVER, Nov. 22.-With a full
jury completed and sworn the opening
statements of the state in the trial Of
Mrs Gertrude Gibson Patterson on
the charge Of numbering her husband
here last September were delivered in
Judge Aliens court today.
When court opened the chief coun-
sci for the defense had not decided
whether to make his opening state
ment now or after the state has clos
ed it's case.
The state will attempt to show that
Mrs. Patterson killed her husband
out of a sheer desire to get rid of
him and that she had made frequent
threats.
On the other hand the defense will
attempt to prove that Patterson con-
nived the debasement of his wife as
source of income, that he used her
as an instrument to blackmail Mil
lionaire Strouse and that he coupled
with her degradation long and repeat
ed brutality which forced her in de
fense of herself to kill him.
Amid the many uncertainties Of the
trial there is an overwhelming con
viction in Denver that the woman vii
never be hanged, that the jury will no
return a verdict of murder in the frs
or second degree and if there is con
! yictionl it will be on the simple grount
OF assault.

KING COTTON
GETS BACKING
New York Bankers Raise $50, ,ooo, 900
Fund to be Leaned to Plant
ers at s2s on Each
Bale.
BENEFIT FOR GROWERS
Plan Will Permit tho One Who Raises
the Crop to Enjoy Profits
Instead Of the specu-
lator.

NEW YORK, Nov 22.-New York
bankers who have been comforting
here for the last few days with repre-
sentatives of the governors confer
ence and the Southern Cotton Con-
gress announce that they have
raised fund of s50,00O,O00,
to be placed Immediately in the
cotton belt states, for the purpose of
handling the cotton crop of 1911 and
enabling growers to participate in any
rise in the market
The negotiations were conducted,
on behalf Of the south, by Gov. EN-
NETT O'Neal of Alabama; Senator
Bailey Of Texas, who has been advis-
ing his colleagues as to legal aspects
of the proposition; E. ]. Watson,
president of the Permanent Southern
Cotton Congress and Commissioner of
Agriculture of South Carolina, and
Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth, Tex,
representing the governor Of his state.
The bankers who will furnish the
funds. according to the statement, are
headed by Col Robert NJ Thompson
Of the brokerage firm OF s. H. P. Bell
& Co., of this city.
The financial support Of several of
the strongest banks in New York has
been given to the plan, the statement
continues. The plan proposed is to ad-
vance the grower s25 per bale upon
his cotton, based on the market value
at the time of the loan.
No interest will be paid upon the
loan, the only charge being 81 a bale
which is regarded as legitimate min
imum charge for expense of grading
and handling. The cotton is not hello
nor taken from channels of trade, but
is placed at the best advantage. The
grower is given the right to designate
the day of sale prior to January l,
1913. and will participate in ary ad
vance in price to the extent Of three
fourths of the rise of the market.
The details of the plan are yet to be
worked out. 1t has been decided, how
ever, to place the fund through stats
committees nafNad by the governor OF
commissioner Of agriculture of 8
state and these committees shall be
empowered to sell when cotton reaches
u cents, and comr>led to sell wher
1t reaches Is cents. regardless OF ad

sion against any violation of the an

ers believe, In clause empowering
