CHARGE HARKNESS
 SHOT MRS. HOPP

New York July 20.--A well dressed man walked up to a policeman in the hotel dis trict early today and coolly said:
 I've just accidentally shot my wife. Would you mind walking over and taking look at the situation? She is in our room at the hotel yonder.'
 The policeman, amazed at his inform ants coolness, went to the hotel. In an apartment on the second floor he found Mrs. Florence Hopp, 25 years old, a pretty brunette of Lewisburg, Pa She had been dead several minutes from bullet wound.
 Her companion, who gave the name of George R. Hardness, a real estate dealer of Seacliff, was taken to a police station on the charge of having shot and killed Mrs. Hopp. After the arraignment Hark- ness admitted the woman was not his wife.
 She's an old boyhood friend of mine. and she expected to return to Lewisburg today" Hardness said. ''She was looking at my automatic revolver when it acci- dentally exploded"
 Hardness is married, he said. Informa- ton from Lewisburg indicates Mrs. Hopp had been parted from her husband. She | has child in Lewlsburg.
 1 Hardness was taken before a coroner
 and charged with homicide. To the coro-
 ner he repeated the version of the shoot | ing of Mrs. Hopp related to the police He | insisted that the automatic revolver was 1 discharged accidentally, but he could not 1 explain, he said, how the woman received bruises on the chin. He was remanded for further examination.
 Formally arraigned this afternoon Hardness waived examination

MATCH FORFEITED TO
 WHITE THROUGH FOUL

Los Angeles, July 20.-After forcing whatever fighting there was for nearly nine rounds of a scheduled 20 rounds bout today, Owen Moran of England was disqualified for using his elbow in the clnches, and the decision awarded by Referee Charles Eyton to Jack White of Chicago. The abrupt ending of the fight was received with mingled cheers and groans
 Moran did nearly all of the leading Full ly half of the time was spent in fighting and racing, Moran being the pursuer. White had the better of only one round, the seventh. when he landed three lefts to Morans head. Moran was first warned in the fifth round when a short left hook opened Whites lips. The Chicagoan pro- tested that Moran had used his elbow in striking the blow Twice in subse- quent rounds Moran was warned and each time he protested that he was not using his elbow.
 Among the inside spectators there was almost as much difference of opinion as at the Wolgast-Rivers decision, many asserting that it was because of Whites method of defense in clincbes that Moran seemed to be fighting unfairly. Moran displayed much more clevprness than White, whose showing was disappointing Moran was 10 to 7la favorite at the ring side with comparatively little White money in sight

TRADING IN COTTON FAVORS THE BULLS Insect Damage Feature of Week-Range of Prices
 B to 56 Points

New Orleans, July 20-Trading In cot ton this week again favored the bulls, the net rise amounting to 27 points on July while the new crops stood up to down on the close. The high prices were made on Thursday and Friday and the low prices on Monday, at highest the trading months were Il to 36 points over last weeks close and at the lowest they were 20to 23 points under. The range of prices was 33 to 56 points.
 The main influence of the week was damage by excessive moisture in the eastern half of the belt, particularly Georgia and Alabama. Drouthy condi- tions in Texas in the early part of the week also aided the bulls, but from the middle of the week on Texas got scat tered showers and comment concerning that state was more bearish than bullish, although it could not oe said that the improvement in the west fully balanced the damage in the east
 A feature of the week was insect dam- age Not few localities in the central and eastern belt complained of worms and grasshoppers. The army worm was said to be doing serious damage here and there in the eastern belt. The week closed with no promise of any change of consequence in weather conditions, which was taken to mean that the spread of the insect pests would be aided
 Statistics claimed some attention, the hea"s contending that mill takings ex- hibited much larger falling off than was 10 be expected from the claims of the bull side regarding the business man. nfacturers of cotton goods are doing. Taltings for the week were 156,000 bales, against 122,000 this week last year and l5d0o0 this week two years ago. Bears were rather worried over the small amount of new cotton into sight in Texas; to date less than half dozen bales, all told, have been marketed, whereas d year ago several hund. ed bales had come into sight by the end of this week. Bulls claimed that this was proof positive that the crop is abnormally late.
 In the spot market prices advanced K of cent, middlng closing at 13isc, against 1S cents last week and lie this week last year. Sales on the spot amount ed to 637 bales, against 1116 last week and 472 this week last year. Sales to arrivo amounted to 116S bales. against 372 last week and none this week last year.

Nashville. July 20.-(Special. )-With only len days left before the date of the August 1 democratic gubernatorial pri- mary there is now great interest pelhe manifested in the selection of delegates 10 the state convention that follows the primary, since the democrats at the con- vention must in some way take action in regard to the prohibition question that has been disturbing factor in Ten nessee politics for the past 35 years.
 The subject has created so much dis cord in the ranks Of the democratic party that it finally split the party in twain, was primarily the cause of the Carmack killing, produced a condition In d strongly democratic state that brought about the election of d republican gov ernor. and that had the effect of putting into tine United States Senate one of the most pronounced republicans that ever lived in the Volunteer State.
 Just what the democrats will do with the liquor question next month is a sub- ject of wider speculation than anything else before the people. The democratic party is split three ways in sentiment on the question. What is, perhaps. ma jority of the party want local option, quite another portion want the prohibit tion laws repealed only as to the larger cities, and the third class are in favor of strengthening the laws so that they may be strictly enforced in the larger places like they were in the smaller towns before the enactment of the state wide prohibition laws. So what will they do with it. is subject that will give the party leaders grave concern from now until the time of the demo- cratic convention next month, and the crowd that is To be reclloned with the most is the radical temperance wing of the party, who under the banner of inde- pendent democracy two years ago boldly supported Governor Hooper and many of them will do so again if the democrats go backward on, the temperance ques- tion.
 Only two things can be done that will hold the latter element. One is to let the laws remain unmolested and the other is to probably leave the settlement of the issue to the white voters of the state One subernatoral candidate. Gen. Wal CT S. Faulkner, has advanced this scheme

.COMER MAY AGAIN
 RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Intimates Intention at One onta Picnic Saturday.
 Raps Railroads

Oneonta, July 2o.-(Special )-This has been a red letter day for Oneonta, fully 5000 people from every corner of Blount and other sections of the state assembling here for the picnic given by the Commer- cial club of Oneonta. Ex-Governor Conner was present.
 feature of the programme was the parade at Il o'clock in which the old soldiers and prominent citizens took part Several thousand listened to an address by s. c. Allgood. One of the feat':Ses of the occasion was the free barbetoe and dinner which. was partaken of by thou sands. Free lemonade was also much in evidence. After dinner there were various athletic contests and several prizes were awarded to the winners. Two games of ball also proved feature.
 While the one time governor did not launch his formal candidacy for governor fully 5000 people threw his hat into the ring The throwing of the hat into the ring was done in a most unique man. ner. A wooden ring was made together with paper and placed in front of the courthouse, where the former governor was to make an address. Just prior to the address hat was thrown from the top of the courthouse Into the ring. Loud cheering followed.
 Prohibition and the railroads were the chief subjects of his speech. He de- clared that the state had no more chance in the recent suits against the Louisville and Nashville testing the rate laws than one would have in a shell game.
 Governor Conner declared that an at- torney for the Louisville and Nashville had the reply of the officials and court officers to his Greensboro speech printed in many papers in the state, paying for its publication as news matter. Conner had thousand copies of the Greensboro speech distributed on the grounds.
 The speaker scored the railroad com mission. which preceded his adminis- tration, and said the railroads had since taken care of all of them. He also dealt harshly with two members of the present commission and said they were elected merely because they were opposed to the amendment.
 Speaking of taxation, Governor Co., mer said places like Birmingham. with their wealth. should pay larger part of the taxes, even if the money is spent in the poorer counties.

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
 FOR TENNESSEE DEMOCRATS
ny PAUL W. TREANoR

and in so doing is said to have come | nearer to the desires of the prohibition | democrats than anything proposed
 If the democratic convention does not
 do something that will appease the radi-
 cal temperance followers in the party
 they will desert in large numbers the har- | mony agreement of the May convention
 and go over to the republicans just as
 they did when Bob Taylor tried to save 1 the state when he ran against Governor | Hooper two years ago and was defeated | by q majority of 12,000 votes,
 Another question to be determined next
 month that is of particular moment to the democrats is the manner of refund
 ing the state debt of over $11.O0oO00. This
 subject should have been dealt with by | the last general assembly and the "whys' l for not acting almost create a scandal | in the present fight for the democratic
 nomination for governor.
 | It is being asserted that the reason the question was not given consideration two | years ago was because the right commis- ! sion was not arranged for by the legis- I lature that went to the expense of send ing a refundihg committee to the princi- pie financial centers of the country and
 later having all the work of that com
 mttee turned down by the Tennessee runaway legislature. But the coming general assembly must give heed to that Atptt IDl tllt MuDlt Ol ltlt fllNNb,oO lH due in October of 1913, following the meeting of the legislature next January. With the close approach of the demo- cratic gubernatorial primary all of the candidates are pursuing thier vigorous canvass with about equal confidence of victory. Governor McMillin, who is one of the old timers in the race, feels sure of success. T. J. Preston of Chattanoo- ga, one of the livest wires Tennessee de- p1ne recently nrnHlIrp1 claims n sure victory. But Thomas J. Tyne oi Nashville, w. R. Crabtree of Chattanoo- ga, and Gen. Walter s. Faulkner of Lebanon, all appear to be of confident frame of mind over their prospects.
 The fact of the business is that 1t Is any ones race at this moment, with Me Millin the favorite, on the ground that
 he has the widest acquaintance, and Preston is regarded as the second man on account of his great campaign, and the other three so closely punched that blanket could cover them.
