GOOD DINNER FOR
 CONDEMNED MAN
SCHUMANN RECEIVED THANKS GIVING DINNER FROM HIS
 MOTHER IN OKLAHOMA.
Wife Slayer Greatly impressed by Heiiday Remembrance, and Is Still
 Hopeful for a New Trial.

l Neatly wrapped in tne old fashioned
 way that mothers have, and contain | ing the usual good things from a }Thanksgiving table, came remem. Ebrance yesterday to Clarence A. Schu- mann in the county jail, from his
 mo her in Oklahoma.
 Schumann is the wife slayer con denned to die on Jan. 17 for killing
 Mrs. Lula Schumann in this city last
 July. His trial took place early i'll the present court term, and 1t did
 not take a jury long to bring in q verdict of murder in the first degree
 Cicuit Judge Gotham sentenced
 Schumann to die on Jan. IT, and if he is executed as the trial court has
 ordered, he will be the first white man to be legally executed in Garlss.d d
 county.
 Schumann is still confident that ne will get new trial, which means that there will be stay of execu- tion ordered in his case by the sn- preme court. His attorney, w. C.. Bouic, appointed by the court to de- lend him, and who made the best
 effort of his life in this Instance.
 against insurmountable odds, believes also that there were irregularities in the trial sufficient to warrant q new hearing of the case and will present the matter to the supreme court. Schumann's defense was insanity, occasioned by tle use of morphine 1t was proved in the trial that he had been addicted to the drug, but the defense was a weak one on which
 to justify such a murder as Sehn-
 mann had committed, and the jury
 was not long in returning it's verdict
 During the progress of the trial
 Schumann sat n court apparently in different to the proceedings befor, him. He did not look above the level Of the lawyers table during the pro
 gress of the trial, and the greater
 part of the time he spent with eyes cast down about his feet.

COTTON EXPORTS
 HAVE INCREASED
GAIN OF 17o PER CENT IN THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS Ac-
 coRDING TO REPORTS.

Washington, Dec 3.--American ex- ports of cotton manufactures have in- creased ITO per cent in the last 15 years and are growing, while imports of cotton manufactures have ncreas- ed 120 per cent during the same pc riod. Statistics of the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce, an nounced today. show the imports this year will approximate $70000,000. The exports probably will exceed $50,- 0,000. Imports are coming in at about the same rate as in 1910 and 1911. but exports are rapidly increas- ing.
 The United States, producer of 7O per cent of the worlds cottcn, exports two-tnirds of its production chiefly to England, Germany, France and other European countries, from which the United States in turn imports large quantities of cotton manufactures, mostly of higher grades Europe as yet takes only very small proportion of American manufactured cottons. China ranks first as a market for American cotton cloths, though ex- ports to China this year are consider ably less than in earlier years
 American clothing and knit goods are exported chiefly to Canada and the United Kingdom.
 Practically every civilized country is represented in the list of commu- mites to which American cotton goods are exported, and whiN in some cases, the totals are relatively small, they are sufficient in size and growth to give promise of future expansion.

 Then there is chiffon to remember. One delightful model is made of rose petal pink chiffon over loose under robe of silk of the same tone. The robe is quite without trimming, save for tiny fiowerets made of the chiffon bordering the turned back fronts of the outer dress, which looks vary much like coat with train.

INVESTORS BOUGHT
 HOLE IN THE GROUND
BIT FOR TIDY SUMS ON FAKE MINING SCHEME OF THE tiAW-
 THoRNE PROMOTING co.

New York, Dec. 3-ssNOthing but a hole in the ground" was what John I'M Henderson, of Waterbury, Conn, saw when he visited the Temagami- Cobalt mines, one of the properties promoted by Julian Hawthorne and others, on trial for using the mails to defraud Henderson, mechanical engineer, so testified today, stating that he had paid $4S0 for 1,250 shares in Temagami-Cobalt and also had SUD scribed for 1,200 shardes of Elk Lake Cobalt, another Hawthorne property. The witness said he visited the Temagami mines in June, 1910, and found that work had ceased and all the mining machinery was being packed up ready for shipment.
 What did you see in the way of mines or mining?" asked the federal prosecutor.
 Nothing but hole in the ground" !" replied the witness.
 Frank M, Clarkson testified that he subscribed for 5000 shares of stock in the Temagami Cobalt company and 1000 shares of Elk Lake Cobalt stock in response to letters inviting sub scription received through the mails. He paid $2,425 for the former and S38S for the latter, he said.
 A prima-facie case "tlat several persons were induced to part with real money for stock of the Tefna- gami Cobalt mines, seems to have been sufficiently established" was the ruling by Judge Hough after several other witnesses had testified along this line. The court held it was un- necessary to put in further similar evidence.
