AUT0M0BIusT PLAYS
IN LUCK; ALMOST HITS
H0MB-LADEN MAN
Aqueduct Worker With Explosives !:
Pocket, Makes Bed In Roadway.

New York, Nov. 21.-This is small
story, but it has large moral. If
they ever publish primer for auto
mobilists, it ought to be up near page
/, with an illustration.
Well, to shove in the clutch
Daniel Rollins was driving his ra'-
ing car through Cold Springs yeste"-
day. Daniel turned a sudden corn ar
at high rate of speed and there be-
fore his flying wheels was an oppor-
tunity such as is given few motorists.
A man was lying in the road. He
made no move when Rollins cut in his
siren. There he lay-a hated pedes-
trian who couldn't even move his feet
1t was fair shot.
Did Rollins accept this gift of for
LuHe I1C ulu uOS.
Instead he twisted his wheel and
threw his flying machine into a ditch
in time to save the motionless man in
the roadway. When he went back to
took the human obstruction over, he
was glad he had ditched his car.
The man was an adeluct worker
who had evidently been imbibing too
deeply Of liquids, such as will never
flow through the object of his toll. In
his pockets we're four sticks of dyna-
mite. Rollins was mighty glad he
missed him.
And that is the moral.

JAPANESE PAPER MAKES
ATTACK ON u. S. SOLDIERS


Honolulu, H. l., Nov, 2l,-The
Nippu, a Japanese daily paper pub
lished here, contained an attack yes
terday upon American soldiers
quartered in this city. The pap per
charged that women had been insult
ed by the soldiers and that many
feared to appear on the streets.
Brigadier General Frederick Fun
ston, commanding the department OF
Hawaii, has sent a communication to
the editor of the paper demanding
an apology. He characterizes the ar
ticle as malicious untruth which
tended to disturb the harmonious re-
lations between the Americans and
other races in the islands.

the big dollar hand of the money
clock in Madison Square which reg

this morning was $2,S49,3S0, over
1900 persons having thus far a2-
peared in the subscription lists, in
eluding many who have sent cheeks
from remote places.
The last half of the third million
is regarded as the hardest task In the
campaign, and with 1t completed to-
day the workers have no fear of be-
ing able to gather the last million
in the other three days.
Failure to do this will seriously un.
dermine the whole scheme as num-

made conditional upon realizing the
100000 goal.

TUMBLED
ON PUBLICATION
GINNERS' REPORT
ten and HALF MILLION BALES
Cotton Ginned to Middle Of
November

The Americas cotton trade awaite l
with keen interest the publication Of
the ginners report at II O'clock yes
terday morning. Apprehension was
felt regarding the effect the reopct
would have upon the local spot mar
ket, and futures as well, and the fear
was well grounded.
The government report showed that
10, ,435, 900 bales Of cotton had been
ginned to November 18th, which
amount far exceeded estimates, and
was 100000 bales in excess of the
number of bales ginned to this date
ilast season.
The report was decidedly "bearish"
and the market broke accordingly.
The decline of twenty points, which
resulted, was soon recovered, a fact
which brought about a somewhat bet
ter feeling locally. The effect of the
ginners report was far-reaching, how
ever, and left darkbrown taste that
may not be eliminated during several
days.
In the Americus market prices for
spots dropped a shade below the 13
cents figure where it has been for
some time. The demand here is good
and many sales were effected yester-
day.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 21.-One Of
the most exciting convict chases to oc-

that of yesterday afternoon when Dep

dero exclaimed
only God can save Mexico" x
which his brother Daniel added: "Bu
only with the help of the United
States" Evaristo replied: Eyes, th&
is true"
The party had been followed to th'
launch at a respectful dista ice by
solitary detective, who had beer
watching the consulate all night.

not properly constructed and equip
