The theory that the man killed on
the B. & o. tracks north of Newark
several days ago was Joseph Cuff of
New Straitsville, formerly of Mt. Yer.
non, was given a set back Friday aft.
ernoon when man from New Straits.
vile arrived in the city on the after.
noon train. He was met by a friend
shortly after his arrival and was ad.
dressed with the remark.
ITS too bad about Joe Cuff"
On asking the reason for sympathy
for Cuff the man was informed that
he had been killed on the railroad sew.
eral days ago. Surprised, the man
from New Straitsville remarked that
he had seen Joe Cuff not more than
four hours ago alive and we'll. He cor.
roborated his statement by getting
Cuff by long distance call over the
telephone.
The man killed at Newark was bur.
led for Cuff but further investigation
will now have to be made in order to
learn the mans true identity.

"sTRAWS SHOW"

Following out the same plan
which was pursued in conducting the
straw vote, which, in 1908, correctly
forecast the result in the presiden-
tial election that year, the Cincinnati
Enquirer is this year conducting an.
other straw vote and the returns
phophesy the election of Governor
Woodrow Wilson by big plurality.
In eight straw votes conducted in the
Business district of Charleston, w.
Va, Governor Wilson received more
votes than were cast for both Taft
and Roosevelt, the result being vii.
son 1O5, Taft 81, and Roosevelt SO.
The drift away from the Republican
party on national lines was surpris-

announced their intention of support
ing Governor Wilson. Forty-two Re.
publicans announced their intention
to vote for the Bull Moose candidate,
while only three who voted for the
Democratic candidate In 1908 an
nounced their intention to vote differ.

Der. offered 1920: December. 1921; jan
uary. 1921; February. offered, 1925;
March, 1928; May, 1898
The market opened steady at Ave to
nine points higher. with the public again
apparently in full control. With an accu-
mutation of buying orders since Saturday
commission houses came into the market
and bought up almost everything In
sight. advancing the whole list to new
high records. On the idea that the up-
turn had been far too rapid. many con.
servative traders unloaded big lines of
cotton. but this was quickly absorbed and
the market continued strong through the
first hour at practically ten to eleven
points net advance. Gables were higher
than due and more rain was predicted for
the central and eastern belts
Toward noon there was a reaction Of
about II points from the highest, leaving
the market to points above Saturdays
close. Heavy unloading and aggressive
selling. with let-up in the amount of
outside buying, chiefly explained the set
back. Spot, nominal.
Estimated receipts at all the ports to-
day were 1000 bales, against 1926 last
week and 1918 last year: for the week.
1o.C00 bales. against 1882 last week and
4.1A last year. Todays receipts at New
Orleans were $50 bales. against SO last
year. and at Houszee1 435 bales against

TRENTON. n. j., July S.-vice Chan
cellor Stevens, in an opinion filed in the
court of chancery today in the suit of
Norman D. Hooker and others against
the executor and heirs of Henry o.
Havemeyer, holds that ten million
dollars worth of stock of the National
Sugar Refining Company was issued to
Havemeyer without consideration.
Havemeyer came by this stock at
time when James H. Post, representing
him, acquired the stock Of the New York
Sugar Refining Company, the National
Sugar Refining Company and the Mollen-
hauer Sugar Refining Company for S.
10000, and consolidated the companies
into the National Sugar Refining Com
pany, with an authorized capital Of
$2O,OOO,OOO.
One Of the questions left open to be
decided upon after a hearing is as to
whether this $1O.OOO,OOO of stock is TO
be continued in existence and paid for by
the Havemeyer estate or Cancelled en-
