FREED FROM INDICTMENTS
Cases Against Railroad Men Dismissed
by State.

Chicago.-Indictments against four
former officials of the Illinois Central
railroad, Frank B. Hartman, John NJ.
Taylor, Charles L. Ewing and Joseph E..
Buker, who were alleged to have been
implicated in car repair frauds by which
the road was swindled out of s1,145,O 900,
were dismissed in the criminal court.
Absence of indispensable witnesses
forced the dismissal, so States Attorney
Northrup declared. E. H. Policy of Sierra
Madre, Cal, was said to have refused to
come to Chicago to testify. Henry C.
Ostermann could not be found and F. H.
Niles was reported ill at Richmond, Va.
Civil proceedings, which had also been
started, were settled out of court.

COTTON UP, THEN DOWN
Unfavorable Weather Reports From
Georgia Caused Rise.

SSoi 6Ad SduSS0 NiSCs
Memphis.-The cotton market took on
littel life and, with fluctuations in
prices of the leading options of from
10 to 12 points and fairly good sales,
some interest was injected into the ses-
sion. After opening at an advance of
from S to points and decline to
Mondays level the market again stiff
ened and closed l to 4 points above
Mondays finals.
Unfavorable weather and crop condi-
tions reported from the eastern part of
the belt, especially from Georgia, and
higher cables than expected from Liver
pool, were the main factors in the III
itial advance. A western estimate on the
acreage and condition in Oklahoma and
Texas placed both below last year at
the corresponding time, and this was
said to have affected the market to a
certain extent, but the report was too
generally discred;ted by the trade to
have had much influence with prices.

ARRESTS FOR OLD
WIRE TAPPING GAME
DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE ALLEGES
ATTEMPT TO SWINDLE.
WON S1O5,00O on ONE RACE
After Putting Up $4,000 R. J. Buckley
Of Chicago Stopped Payment of
Draft and Had Two Broad
way Men Arrested.

New York.-R. j. Buckley, of Chicago,
q delegate to the Democratic national
convention, caused the arrest here of two
men, one of whom he charged with at
tempting to swindle him in a fake wire
tapping game. The prisoners, John and
Henry Nj. Wilson, were held in $4,000
bail each by magistrate for examine
tion on charges of grand larceny.
Buckley told the detectives he had
met John Wilson on Broadway and 1T
Wilson's invitation, they visited gam
bling house in the tenderloin. He was
induced, he declared, to lay a 12,00O
wager on race horse and was told
after the race that he and two COM
pan;ons had won S1O5,OO0. Inasmuch as
Buckley had, instead of cash, given
check for $4,000 and draft for $4,000,
he said, the cashier refused to give him
his share of the s1O5,O00, but made an
appointment to meet him and Wilson at
an uptown hotel and talk the matter
over.
Buckley declared that he had no real
intention to make bona fide bet, and
that his first act upon leaving the gam
bling house was to stop payment on the
check and draft. He told the police of
the appointment and they arrested the
two Wilson's. The cashier did not put
in an appearance.

Chicago.-Subscribers to the fund to
bring the national Republican conven-
tion to Chicago have an unusual surprise
in store for them. in that they will get

was in excess of the cost by $40, 900.
Mr.: Upham says the arrangements were
perfect and that the success in carving
them out was due to the excellent work
done in many different directions.

Washington.-On July l Uncle Sam

POINT OF PISTOLS.

Commissioner of the Mexican Revolu.
tionary Party Denies Charge, Main
tanning That the Brigands Were
Madero Volunteers.

FL Paso, Tex.-Seventeen Americans
in Velardena, fifty miles west of Tor
reon, Mexico, were recently lined up
against barn, while half-dozen drink.
crazed rebels brandished six-shooters in
their faces and threatened summary ex-
ecuton unless million dollars ransom
was forthcoming. The rebels abandoned
their orgy when So, 500 in gold was paid
them.
Americans, they said, had feared the
consequences Of a revelation of their
plight through official channels, and
only with the routing of columns under
Gems. Campo and Argumedo, after near
ly two months of depredations, had the
facts begun to come to light.
At Velardena forty federal volunteers
captured by Gen. Campa were executed
in small squads. Rebel officers vie
with one another for the privilege of
conducting the executions. One of the
ptiful sights was the killing of fed
eral volunteer about IS years old by q
rebel soldier hardly out of his teens. !,
A man arriving here told of finding
near Torreon seven bodies, horribly dis
figured and mutilated. One of them
was a woman. This act is charged to
the federal forces.
The commissioner representing the
Mexican revolutionary party here issued
formal statement denying that the
brigands who neld up Americans at We
lardena were rebels, and intimating that
they were Madero volunteers. He reit-
Grated the pledge that the Revolutionary
forces will protect all foreigners.
Orozco, he says, is to be tried by court
martial for his infammatory proclama-
tion against foreigners and their prop

court of the United States, which re-

Bondsmen were on hand and attorneys
for the labor men gave notice of an in.
tention to file an appeal to have the SUI
preme court review the judgment.
In its previous review of the case the
supreme court reversed the convictions
on the ground that contempt proceed
ings had been Improperly instituted.
New proceedings were at once begun.
The sentences under the first conviction
were Gompers, one year; Morrison, six
months; Mitchell, nine months.

COTTON CROP NEEDS
WARMER WEATHER
COOL WEATHER ONLY DETERRENT
TO FAVORABLE CONDITIONS.
CROP MADE GOOD PROGRESS
Some Grass and Lack of Cultivation Still
Retards Eastern Section, but Prog
ress Was Made With Fair
Weather.

Rains over the western part of the cot.
ton belt and clear, open weather in the
east made the past week good one on
the cotton crop. Progress was made,
generally speaking, both in plant growth
and cultivation, although in plant growth
somewhat retarded, the former by un-
seasonably low temperatures and the
latter by rains.
In the west, where most of the rains
of the week fell, the soil was already at
high state of cultivation, and the fields
were clean. In that part of the belt the
week was unusually favorable, as the
moisture that the crop received was just
the one thing that it needed. All over
Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas heavy
rains fell, and good general rain fell in
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Tennessee. In all these states cultiva-
tion is well advanced and all the crops
needs is hot weather in order to promote
more rapid plant growth.
Owing to the heavy rains of the pre-
ceding week, farmers are somewhat be-
hind with cultivation in Alabama.
Georgia and the Carolinas, but they made
rapid progress during the past week.
Many fields are grassy in Georgia, and
the same may be said of lesser number
in the Carolinas and Alabama.
The principal need of the crop is warm,
open weather for period of ten days
or two weeks, in order to promote plant
growth and cultivation, although in the
western and central part of the belt the
latter feature is we'll cared for.
