THE EASTERN CROP IS
FAR BELOW LAST YEAR
PLANT IN WEST WELL FRUITED
Danger From Frost Of Average
Date Comparatively Small
Except in Oklahoma
Insect Damage Small

According to the weekly cot
ton crop report of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal published
last Monday. There are two
distinct divisions of the cotton
crop this year and conditions are
so widely different in each as to
render it necessary to consider
them separately. West of the
river. owing to good seasons,
with few drawbacks, the crop
has gone on in good shape for
nearly the entire season. In
this section the plant is well ad-
vanced and much picking has
already been done. Taken as a
whole the crop on this side of the
stream is from 60 to rs per cent.
opened, although in Oklahoma
there is probably more late cotton
than in any other state. Much
of this is in danger of frost. In
the west the plant is heavily
fruited-most correspondents es-
innate as heavily as last year.
In the east only small portion
of the crop is opened, although
it is estimated that a very small
portion is in danger of frost Of
average date, except in Tennes-
see, where the plant is still Wig
orous. The plant over the entire
section is late, but has not fruit
ed heavily estimates place it
from so to Is per cent. of last
year and as there is little
promise of top crop it is believed
that picking, when once well
started, will not last for long.
The insect damage to the crop
is small when compared with
other years. Considerable boil
weevils have appeared in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana, but fairly
good crop was made before their
appearance. Elsewhere the
damage from insects has been
negligible.
In this, the last weekly report
of the Commercial Appeal foI
the season, correspondents size
up the crop about like this;
Carolinas-Crop much below
last year. Little in danger from
frost.
Georgia 4 Crop very short
from so to 65 per cent. of las
year. Almost no danger of frost
Alabama-Estimates average
fruitage at about two-thirds tha
of last year.
Mississippi-Crop very spotted
Some sections expect good crop
others poor, but nearly all below
last year.
Tennessee and Missonri-GoO,
crop promised, but it is late AM
in danger from frost.
, Arkansas Much diversity o.
, opinion, but generally below las

Oklahoma Most estimates fo
. best yield in history of state
with late frost.
Texas-Average about tn

BELIEVES HE IS SQN
 OF JESUS CHRIST

That James Butler, an alleged in. sane man in the Bisbee branch coun ty j1il, believes that either he IS him. self or is ,he son ot Jesus Christ is the reason ctven by w. A. Robinson in his petition to the superior court that Butler be adjudzed insane.
 Butler is apparently raying mad and was so violent yesterday after noon that he was not taken before Judge High for a preliminary eXamL nation as tO his sanity. He was taken into custody yesterday morning by Officer Farley McRae and the sheriff al Tombstone was requested to send for him
 Butlcr raves continually of religion and politics. mixing them in a way that would be ridiculous were it not for the pathos of the situation. When he was taken into custody he seemed to realize limly the meaning of tha action and asked that he be tried by a iurv composed solely of Mo-mons.
 IT is said tbat Butler some time ago bought a piece of land in Colo radn and went there to take posses sion of it but found that the land was not as valuable as he believed it to be. This is believed to have af' fected his mind.

SHOTS CAUSE FINN
 10 INCREASE SPEED

Hope Of reward and fear of punish ment haItled strongly in the mind of 6 FinlanGer las; night in Johnson ad- dition when. as he tried 10 escape, Officer Rooney fired two shots at him. The officers object was to make an argument OF the fear-ol-Dunishment side of the question, but hope of re- ward won ayd the Finlander kept on running and escaped.
 The Lowell deputy sheriff was called to Johnson addition 10 arrest a Finlander who it was said was beating his wife. The man was ar rested and was being taken to Lowell in tow of the officer About in front of the Calumet & Arizona hospital the Finn made a break 10 escape. The officer fired two shots in the air in 5he hope of frightening the man into stopping. but it had an acute contrary effect. making the man double on the speed He made good his es- case but he will probably be retaEen as he is vel! known to Lowell officers.

B|G TELEPHONE
 DEAL CLOSED
Mountain States Company Takes Over All the Arizona COmpany's
 Property
MCVAY Is MANAGER

One ot the largest indrstrial deals of the year in Arizona goes into erfeet this morning when the Mountain States Telephone company assumes control by purchase of the Arizona Telephone aud Telegraph company. which has been it's largest competitor in this state.
 The exact amount of the consider ation cannot be stated but 1t is gen eraIly believed 10 be between $56O.' OOy and 575O.0OO The deal has been pending for some time and it was re ported at Phoenix as long ago as las; Saturday that tine deal had boen consummated The deal was made during the present week, it is said, and will become effective today.
 The Arizona telephone and tele- graph company operated exchanges at Phoenix, Globe, Prescott, Tucson, Yuma Nogales and all trough that section af the state. Only one Ari- zona company, a Phoenix local, re- mains outside the deal.
 The principal stockholders Of the Arizona company were Eugene s. Ives. Epes Randolph and Hinchcilff, all Of Tucson, the latter having been general manager of the company. The Mountain States is a Colorado con. cern whose southwestern offices are at Fl Paso.
 McVay to Leave 5isbee
 The change affects Bisbee and Co., chise county in tn eparticular that it will lose H. F. McVay, who has been district manager of Mountain States with jurisdiction over the company's lines in southeast Arizona, to which section fthc state the Mountain States holdings were confined.
 lt cannot be definitely stated how the new enlarged territory will be districtcd but McVay's jurisdiction will probably comprise the state of Arizona. Tucson will be headquarters of the state territory and McVay will leave Bisbee during the first week of Jurc 10 take up residence at Tucson.
 'fhe Mountain States invasion of Fhc southwest has been swift and general improvement in telephone service has followed in the wake of ,he invasion. No announcements as to the policy of the company in the state have been made but it Is as- sumed that, as iE the past, improve mcnts in the newly acquired plants will be made.
 Bisbee can ili afford to lose McVay, who has tecn one of the live wires of the progressive citizenship move ment that resulted in the organization of the Warren District Commercial club. of which he was made the first president He will tender his resig. nation as president fthe club at the i regular weekly meeting of the club next Wednesday night. He has also ] been a member of the board of di- | rectors of the Warren District Coun | try club, in whose affairs he has been an active and progressive member In fact he has been generally a pro gressiye citizen and Tucson wins in | both the acquisition of Mir.
