NEW ORLEANS REVIEW.

New Orleans. July 2O.-Tradlng il
cotton this week again favored tho
bulls, the net rise amounting to II
points on July, while the new crop
stood II up to three down, on the
close.
At the highest, the trading months
were II to 36 points over last weeks
close and at the lowest they were 20
to % points under.
The main influence of the week
was damage by excessive moisture IN
the eastern half Of the belt, particu-
larly Georgia and Alabama. Drouthy
conditions in Texas in the early part
Of the week also aided the bulls, but
from the middle Of the week on Texas
got scattered showers and
concerning that State was more bear
ish tina bullish.
A feature of the week was insect
damage. Not a few localities in tho
central and eastern belt complained
Of worms and gr~asshoppers. The
week closed with no promise Of any
change Of consequence in weather
conditions, which was taken to mean
that the spread Of insect pests would
be aided. Takings for the week we're
10000 bales, against $4,000 this
week last year and $4,000 this week
two years ago.
Bears were rather worried over tho
small amount Of new cotton in sight
IN Texas. To date less than half a
dozen bales have been marketed.
In the spot market prices advanced
one-eighth Of a cent. middling closing
at 13 1-8 against 13 cents last week
and IA cents this week last year.
Sales on the spot amounted to SGT
bales against LIS last week and 472
this week last year; sales to arrive
amounted to 1.168 bales against 372
last week and mono this week last
year.

NEW CANCER CURE
DISCOVERED BY
SCIENTISTS
Successful in 100 Per Cent Of
Experiments Made
S TRIED ON ANIMALS
No Test Made Yet on Human Beings
But savants Feel Confident
Of Results

Berlin, Jan 29.-The New York
Times correspondent is enabled to
make the highly important announce
ment that Prof. Enrich of Frankfort
has been secretly at work for many
months on his cancer cure, which
has already attained even more re-
markable results than those announ-
ced few weeks ago, with his friend
and colleague, Prof. Won Wassermann
of Berlin.
The international medical world
will be further interested to learn
that the two great biologists have
pooled their issues, and henceforth
will work hand in hand in probing
the cancer mystery, @though contin-
uing their researches in separate lab
oratories.
DR.. Ehrlch is experimenting with
a combination of three or four chem
icals which are still completely un-
known, and with which he has sue
ceeded in curing 100 per cent of
mice treated, including not only
those artifcially infected with can
Ger but also mice in which cancers
had spontaneous origin. No relap
ses, moreover, have occurred.
Profs. Ehrlich and Wassermann
emphasize, Notwithstanding the
highly promising character of their
experiments, that their cure as it
exists today is applicable only to
cancerous mice Many years, they
point out, must elapse before a drug
can be perfected which can even be
tried on human beings. The famous
Hochst Chemical Works, which for
years have financed DR.. Ehrlich's ex-
periments, have again placed their
enormous resources at the command
of Drs. Ehrlich and Wassermann- for
the perfection of their cancer cure.

PITTSFIELO FIRE
DOES SEVERE
DAMAGE
Three Buildings Burned Early
Sunday Morning
LOSS OF OVER 100000
Among the Buildings Burned Was
the Academy of Music Owned
by Zebra Quackenbush

The Academy of Music building on
North street in Pittsfeld owned by
Zebra Quackenbush of Hoosick Falls
n. Y, was practically destroyed by
fire which broke out about 11:45
Saturday night in the store OF Moses
Rosenthal, and quickly spread
through all sections of the building.
The loss will probably reach $780,
600
The fire broke out in the Rosenthal
clothing store about half an hour af-
ter it closed for the night and when
discovered the flames had a good
start An alarm was pulled in from
box AZ, which, being in the business
district, brought out practically all
OF the fire apparatus in the city.
The flames broke through the rear
Of the store, but the firemen at first
seemed to be getting the best of them
but the fire soon crept up into the
partitions and into the upper part of
the building and the structure was
soon mass of flames. Parts of the
walls fell about an hour after the fire
started.
The building is occupied on the
irst floor by the Rosenthal store,
Richardson & Boden, furniture, the
Albany cash grocery, Berkshire Hard
ware Company, ]. II. Cone & Co., sal
Don, and a vacant store. On the
upper floor is the World in Motion
moving picture theatre.
There was a supply of powder in
the store Of the Berkshire Hardware
company but this was gotten out be-
Tore the flames reached that store.
The Miller block, two and one
half story structure, adjoins the
academy Of music block on the north
and when the walls of the burning
building began to weaken a part of
the wall on that side fell over on the
Miller block The hremen turned
their attention to preventing that
building from catching fire, and were
able to save IL.
A police officer was injured early
in the fire and taken to the House Of
Mercy hospital and fireman was lat
or struck by hose stream and thrown
down and had his ankle broken or
badly injured.
The loss on the Academy of Music
is placed at $4,000, with insurance
of $4,000 Kelton b. Miller, owner
of the Miller building, estimates the
loss on his building at $4,000 and
carried $4,000 insurance. He plans
TO build a four-story brick business
block as soon as he can do so on the
site OF the burned building.
The loss on the storage building
is estimated at $4,000 with insur-
ance OF $4,000. This building was
owned by Zebra Quackenbush of
Hoosick Falls 1t is not probable
that Mr. Quackenbush will rebuild,
but will try and dispose of his prop
erty. The damage to the Shipton
block Is slight. Mr.. Quackenbush
carried rent insurance of $4,000 to
repay him for loss of rent on account

MURDERED
Fierce Outbreak of People Of
Guayaquil
Ex-PRESIDENT AMONG SLAIN
Those Killed Were Revolutionary
Chiefs Who Had Been Captured
and Placed In Jail
EX-PRESIDENT AMONG SLAIN

An Infatuated mob broke into the
Quito penitentiary in Ecuador yes
terday in spite of a double guard and
lynched Gems Eloy Alfaro, Flavio AL
faro and Medaro Alfaro, Ulpiano Pa
ez and Manuel Serrano, all prominent
reyolutionists With the putting to
death of Gen Eloy Alfaro, ex-presi-
dent of Ecuador; his brother. Gen.
Flavio Alfaro ex-Ininister OF war
and commander in chief of the reyo-
lutionary forces; Gen. Medardo AL
faro, who is believed to have been
brother of the two other Alfaros, and
Gems. Paez and Manuel Eerrano, the
leading lights of Ecuador's last rev
olution have been snuffed out. This
revolution although it had long been
brewing, actually began a few days
after the sudden death on December
22 last OF President Emile Estrada.
The first of the drastic measures
taken by those who opposed the rev
olution were carried into effect last
Thursday at Guayaquil, when Gen.
Pedro Montero who was proclaimed
president by the troops after the
death OF Estrada, was shot and be-
headed by a mob which afterward
burned his body. Eloy Alfaro and
Gems Paez and Montaro were captured
last Monday at Guayaquil, when gov
eminent troops under Gen. Leonidas
Plaza forced the revoulonists who
held Guayaquil to capitulate. Flayio
Alfaro had been wounded in a battle
a few days before the fall OF Guaya-
quill Medardo Alfaro was captured
Thursday as he arrived at Guayaquil
on board a steamer with body OF
rebel troops
Eloy Alfaro was proclaimed presi-
dent OF Ecuador by the populace in
January, 1906, after he had defeated
the government troops at Quito. In
October of the same year he was
elected provisional president by the
national convention and held the OF.
fee of chief executive until 1911. In
that year Gen Emilio Estrada ran
for the Office with Flavio Alfaro as
an opponent and was elected by a
majority OF over 100000 votes. Fla.
VIC Alfaro then started a revolt in
which he was aided by President Al
faro. The charge was made that
Eloy was trying 20 set up a dictator.
ship in Ecuador and from the first
the efforts to gain the presidency
from Estrada met with adyerses.
Estrada's forces were frequently
victorious and with public opinions
against the revolt, Eloy Alfaro re
signed in August and he and Flavio
departed for Panama. Estrada was
then indicted into office and retained
the chef executiveship until his
death last December The Alfaros
and their followers had not been idle
during Estrada's tenure OF Office and
there often came reports of their In.
tentlon to start a revolution in Ecua-
dor.

with his last breath that he was in
nocent, Albert w. Wolter went to his

AS he left his cell in the death row
at 5.S6, he called cheerily good bye,

fined in the death row. He walked
boldly to the chair and took his seat
without a tremor
He spent part of the night writing

was convicted. He was less than 20
years Of age at the time of the crime.

by the owners and occupants Of the
building, the total loss was placed
at s257, 800, but II is believed that
after careful inventory has been
taken the figures will be brought
down nearer to 100000 which is con-
sidered a conservative estimate. The
amount of insurance carried on the
buildings and contents is S124,000 and
there will be very little il any sal
