FUNERAL OF MRS.
 ALVA CAVE HELD
Her Mother Has Been PrOstrated
 Since the Murder.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug 16.-The fu- neral of Mrs. Alva Cave, widow of Steve Cave, a son of Dr. Lin Cave, chaplain of the United Confederate Veterans, who was shot and almost instantly killed Wednesday night by Mrs. Leola Hooper Jones, took place this morning at the home eff her motb- CT, Mrs. Sophia Leinhos.
 Since the tragedy the mother has been prostrated and has made ho statement. The accepted idea that jealously played part in the shoot- ing has led to an investigation of the divorce bill filed by Mrs, Jones against her husband, J. G. Jones. The bill made no charge of infidelity, the allegations beng drunkenness, failure to provide and that he had caused his wife great suffering by falsely charg- ing her with infidelity. This bill was filed October ', 1911, but was win drawn and the suit dismissed before the end of the month.

! New Orleans, Aug. 16.-Cotton--Fu- lures opened steady at decline of 15M19 points. cables were not near i ly as high as due and short selling was stimulated by this and by con- tinued dry weather ill the eastern and central portions of the cotton region, where it is claimed the crop is show ing marked improvement. The mar ket had no support in the early trad ing. although bulls called attention to the fact that Texas was getting no rain. The forecast promised fair weather for the entire belt, including Texas.

 Reports of showers at several points in South Texas held the mar ket down around the middle of the morning but shorts showed a fondness of profits and their purchases served to make the tone steady, and, in the end, they checked the decline.
 Buying was lively at one time and prices recovered 15 points from the lowest of the morning. The market had no real buying power, however, and after the edge of the demand from the shorts had been taken oil, prices commenced to sag again. Al noon the trading months were 2o@24 points down.

Little Rock, Aug. fG.-The commits sion recently appointed by Governor Donaghey to examine the condition of W. c. Alexander, the condemned Pine Bluff murderer, has decided that Alex ander is insane, and this will be the report made to Governor Donaghey upon his return. The physician who examined Alexander were selected by Dr. J. l..

Bledsoe, Dr. Morgan Smith and pr. J. P. Runyan. It is said that all five agreed that Alexander's mind is d wreck, and there is no hope for his recovery.
 The commission visited the peniten- tiary several days ago and made a thorough examination of the condemn- ed man, both as to his mental and physical condition. They state that he does not know where he is, and labors under the hallucination that he is in prison in the army barracks I where he once served. He has nc mind or memory, according to the report that will be made, and it is stated that the physicians do not be- lieve that he will live long.
 Alexander is said to be suffering from alcoholic delnentia He is saiC to have drunk on an average of abou a quart of whiskey a day for the past 15 years, and that being deprived O his whiskey has gradually weakened his mind until he has become hope. lessly insane. 4d
 Governor Donaghey stated som, time ago that if the commission re- ported that Alexander is insane, i would be his duty, under the law te report the findings of the commission to the sheriff of the county, who Wil be required to empanel jury and SC these facts before it. The jury vii then take further action in the case probably ordering the removal of the condemned man to the State Hospita for Nervous Diseases.
