Higher VALUES
IN COTTON ARE
EXPECTED NOW
INTEREST IN The new CROP
Drought and Cool Weather
Damaging Crop

New Orleans, May 12.-The interest
of the cotton trade this week will
probably be almost wholly centered on
the new crop situation The old crop
did not attract much attention last
week and it promises to attract less
this week. Old crop holdings are
gradually being liquidated and trans
fered to the new crop months and
from now on October and December
promises to become more active than
July.
The new crop is more or less
critical condition because of the
drouthy conditions in the eastern belt
and the continued low night tempera>
lures. Probably this latter feature is
of more Importance than the first, al
though market writer's are giving 1T
less prominence. If temperatures do
not warm up this week, and if it rains
do not fall in the Atlantics the bulls
will be given a decided advantage. AL
ready much replanting has been nee
essary, some sections representing ev-
en- the third replanting and continues
unfavorable conditions will have a
tendency to increase the necessity of
it. This may lead to some abandon
ment of acreage and would offset the
large area originally broken for COT,
ton this year. Principally, it will be a
weather market this week.
The increased exports of late have
been surprising to nearly every on :,
but there have been few signs of a
good forward business in the spot
department How spinners are going
to view the new crop is big question
which all traders are anxious to solve
any signs that exporters are sell
ing spinners cotton for fall and win
ter delivery will probably be the sig
nal for bull activity in the futures this
week while continued holding off will
encourage the short side

Probably the most greatly thumbed
and hilariously perused volume in
Americus for some time will be the
third issue of the "AMeri-Clan," the
annual published by the students OF
the High school. The issue this year
is one that is far ahead of any that
has yet been published, and it is a
representative index and reflection CT
the school life of the students.
To Mr.. C. C. Youmans, principal Of
the High school, and to Mr.. c. G. Gle
ment, of the department of English,
is due most of the credit for the ac-
tive management that made possible
the issuance of such thoroughly rep
resentative and attractive annual.
These two members of the faculty
worked ceasely and diligently to make
the annual the best one ever issued,
and standard for those to be issued
in the future.
Commendation is also due in hign
measure to the staff of editors and
which is as follows Misses
Annie Laurie Page and Mary Gray
editors in chief; Marion Skinner, as
sistant editor; Miss Mildred Borum,
art; Eugene Gartner, athletics; Miss
Elizabeth Allen and r. H. Conner, lit
erary societies; Alex Stephens and
James Lot, business managers.
From its pleasing dress of soft, tan
leather to every feature of its clear
typography and high class illustrations
the annual is an excellent one. Mem
bers of the faculty are duly pictured
and cartooned as are the members of
the student body, each class being re-
presented in a group picture. Numer
our other illustrations prepared by the
clever and talented art editor and by
Mr.. Il. NJ. Viquesney, who recently
gained national fame by his design fo :

gerald, and who kindly aided in the

SHAkE-UP IN
PERSONNEL OF
LOCAL TEAM
BETTER BALL is PROMISED
Weber Given Can and New
Players Secured

A general shake-up in the personnel
of the Americus baseball team has
been carried through as the result
of the failure of Manager Weber to
make good, and the generally unfortu-
nate conditions which have prevailed
in baseball circles here since the sea-
son began.
Weber was formally given a tin-can
Saturday night, though he went to
Waycross with the team yesterday ami
played second base in yesterdays
game. He played, however not as
manager, but simply as second base
man. Hal Griffin, first baseman, has
been named as manager temporarily
In the meantime the officials of the To-
cal club have their lines out for {
manager. Several good men are un-
der consideration, and it is the pur-
pose of the local management to land q
manager who can really handle the
team with some degree of success.
1t is hoped that a second baseman,
secured from Manager Dudley, OF
Townsville, and who is touted as =
fast man, will join the team in Way
cross today in time to play in today's
game so as to replace Weber. A short

ALIENS CASE
DEPENDS ON
GOV. JOHNSON
He ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE
Bryan Asked Him to Veto the
Bill

Washington, d. c., May 1.-THE
fact that Secretary Bryan has ad-
dressed an appeal to Governor John
son, of California, to veto the tanti-
alien land bill, inasmuch as the gov
ernor had unofIicially. at least, re-
peatedly declared his purpose to sign
the bill as it passed the legislature,
is taken in official circles here as in
dicating either that some powerful
influence has been brought to bear on
the governor in the interest of DELAY,
or, and more probably, that the Will
son administration is perfecting it's
record.
In this action there may be a dou-
Dle purpose. First, to satisfy Japan
that the federal government can do
nothing to prevent the legislation un-
der its international limitations, OF
which many diplomats contend Japan
should have been aware when it en-
tered into treaty relations; and, sec
ondly, to place upon the state authori-
ties of California responsibility for
any serious outcome OF the alien land
legislation.
AS the legislature is near the end
of its session, it is expected that Gov
ernor Johnson's reply will be forth
coming tomorrow. If he yields to
Secretary Bryan's appeal, the element
of urgency will be removed, as Japan
ese land owners in California will not
be in immediate danger of loss of their
property, and the state department can
at its leisure embark upon negotiations
with the Japanese embassy for a new
treaty to replace that of 1911, and
provide some permanent means of
adjustment of the rights of citizens
of one country resident in the other.
1t has been suggested that possibly
that by a fiat declaration that neither
country shall admit the right of cisi-
zens of the other to hold land in its
territories, the Japanese may be sat
isfied.
Should Governor Johnson decide TO
sign the bill, notwithstanding federal
opposition, legal proceedings are al
most certain to follow the first at
tempt of the California authorities to
escheat the property of the Japanese
landholders. Probably an issue is to
be up Immediately by some such lan;i-
holder undertaking to transfer his
land to another Japanese in California.

That the ladies of the Hospital as

is indicated by the fact that they COM
menced yesterday a systematic can

places. Reduced rates will be offer
ed on both the Central and Seaboart

There will doubtless be much larg--

HEARD SCREAMS
IN BASEMENT Of
PENCIL FACTORY
CRIES OF MARY PHAGAN
Heard by Woman Passing by
Plant

Atlanta, May 12.-Evidence that Ma
ry Phagan was murdered in the pencil
factory basement in which her life
less form was found was submitted to
Chief Lanford and Solicitor Hugh
Dorsey in the shape of an affidavit
attested to by young woman pedes-
trian who passed the fatal building at
4:3O o'clock, the Saturday afternoon
of the crime.
She testifies to this effect:
That at 4:3O o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon, April 26, as she passed the
Forsyth street entrance to the National
pencil factory, she was attracted by
.shrilI screams of girl emanating. ap-
parently, from the basement of the
plant building. So tragic did the cries
sound that she stopped. Three sharp,
piercing screams came in succession
then died away as though having been
stifed.
The deponent says that although
Ter experience preyed depressingly
on Ter mind, she did not consider 1t
impU .tant enough to report to police
headquarters until she read of the Pha-
gan murder. Her testimony has been
in the hands of Chief Lanford a week
Or longer.
This throws a new aspect on tle
rya,ery. The problem of the bloody
hairs and stains found on the second
Goor confront the sleuths. 1t has
heretofore been the accepted theolv Y
that the murder was committed in that
section of the building Chief Lanford
however, believes that the gtrT was stu
alive when her body was lowered to
the cellar
Neither Chief Lanford nor the solic-
itor would reveal the name of the
woman. Her home is on Haynes
street. but further than this they
would tell nothing. The affidavit ex
lists, though the chief states positive
ly, and will be delivered to the grand
jury.
