ADVISED TO
SIGN EXTRADlTION
BUT GOVERNOR FELkER HEST.
TATES UNTIL THAW Is
INDICTED.

CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 27.-It was
learned today that Attorney General
futile, of New Hampshire had ad-
vised Gov. Felker to sign the extradi-
ton warrant for the extradition war
rant for the return of Harry K. Thaw
to New York State. The attorney
general based his opinion upon the
fact that the extradition papers are
in proper form, and that it Is unnec-
essary for the governor in a case OF
this kind to go into details before
signing the warrant. 1t is known,
however, that Gov Felker is opposed
to signing the warrant unless Thaw
has been indicted by the Duchess
county grand jury. The governor has
taken steps to ascertain whether
Thaw has actually been indicted by
this grand jury.

GOMPERs URGES
FIVE LABOR BILLS
PRESIDENT is ASKED TO GIVE
!. LEGISLATION FAVORABLE
CONSIDERATION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The
speedy enactment of labor legisla.
ton now pending in five bills before
congress was urged upon President
Wilson by Samuel Gompers, presi.
dent of the American federation OF
labor, and the executive council of
that organization.
I'VE. urged the President to give
his favorable consideration to va
rious matters Of labor legislation .
said President Gompers, after a con.
ference at the White House. Among
the bills which we want enacted into
laws are measures providing for the
protection OF American seamen, a
bill to limit reasonably the issuance
of injunctions against labor organiza-
tons, a bill for industrial and voca-
tional training, bill for uniform
wages for women workers and bill
to increase the appropriation to the
department Of labor, so that the de-
partment may demonstrate its eff
cheney"
Mr.. Gompers expressed his appre-
citation to the President for his selc-
ton of w. B. Wilson to be secretary
of labor.

COTTON AND RICE
CROPS DAMAGED
LOUISIANA, TEXAS, ARKANSAS,
AND OKLAHOMA ARE STORM
SWEPT.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-Heavy
rains riding terrific gale have done
.incalculable damage to the cotton and
rice crops of Louisiana, Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas, according to re-
port from various points throughout
this area.
Within the last two days. Shreve-
port, the Louisiana cotton center, has
been deluged with STA inches of rain
and other sections of the stae have
received fully as much. Cyclonic
winds have made he rain storms all
the more destructive. Cotton has
been forced to IA cents, the highest
recent price, owing to the shortage
the brokers believe this damage fore
shadows. It is still raining In many
parts of the cotton section and cloudy
conditions are prevalent all over the
state.
Rice men say that they cannot even
estimate the damage that was done
the rice crop.

POLICE ONLOOKOUT
FOR JOS. L. MARTIN
THE CLEVER sWlNpLER SAID
TO HAVE OPERATED HERE
IN NASHVILLE.

WASHINGTON Sept. 27.-The po-
lice here are on the lookout for Jo-
seph l. Martin, the clever swindler,
who is said to have operated unsuc-
cessfully at Nashville, Tenn, during
the month of August. Martin passed
a worthless check for 1920 on the
United States Trust Company of this
city He opened the account with
draft drawn on the First National
Bank of Minneapolis. 1t is reported
that he tried this same scheme In
Nashville, using draft on the Min
neapolis bank as bait, but the mer-
chants at the former place refused
to play the parts as victims in his
game.

the opening of the United States dis

Judge Sanford on the bench. Sever
al hundred witnesses, jurors, attor-

in the cases to be tried will be here

ficulty in finding their usual accom-
modations.
The federal court docket this term
is unusually heavy. Many criminal
cases are to be heard, most of them
being internal revenue cases.

and Should He Run It Would Be

Probably Decide Right Away.

The placid surface of the waters
OF the municipal campaign are threat
ened with disturbance in the posi-
BILE appearance of another candidate
for mayor in the person of Louis
Loeb.
This is. however, not positive, but
there is every indication that Mr..
Loeb will be candidate. In speak
ing Of the matter Mr.. Loeb says as a
matter of personal preference he does
not desire to make the race, and that
if he should eventually cast his hat
into the ring it will be at the request
of his numerous friends, who have
been beseiging him the past few
weeks to enter. It was his purpose
to make a final decision Wednesday
afternoon, but this was not done.
For some time there has been nu.
merous inquiries as to wether there
would be any opposition to the pres
ent mayor, Joe Dedman, who though
not announced publicly, is candi-
date. Finally the opposition to the
administration appeared to crystalize
around Loeb and he has been sore
ly importuned to get into the fight,
with the assurance Of majority OF
those who have talked to him that he
could win easily. The astute baker,
however, has taken these assurances
with some doubtful consideration 1t
seems, while accepting the confiden-
tial attitude Of his friends as trib.
ute Of faith in his ability as a munich
pal Splinter.
There has never been any sugges-
ton that has come to the surface as
to the arranging Of an alderman's
ticket to go with the new candidate
for mayor should he come to the
wire. 1t is not expected that the
present board would Be Objectionable
to him, as he has been a member Of
the board himself and has co-operat.

LESS THAN FIFTY PER CENT or
VOTERS IN CITY ARE
QUALIFIED.
BOOKS CLOSE FRIDAY NIGHT
OF Thirteen Hundred and More There

to Vote When the Polls Open for
Election on 23rd.

The supplemental registration for
the municipal election which is to be
held here on October 20 for the cleo.
ton of mayor and board of alder.
men for the ensuing two years is nov
being conducted at the court house
by the registrars, and there is appar-
emily but very little interest therein.
The possibility of a second candi-
date for mayor seems not to have
aroused any particular desire to vote
and the registration is very slow.
At the former registration, which
was the regular biennial August reg
istration there was approximately
$50 in the entire district OF this
number there were 200 who did not
live within the corporate limits of
the city of Columbia, which would
bring the city's registration down to
about $50. The registrars had less
that fifty applications Wednesday,
and the aggregate number of quail
fed voters inside the corporation at
noon today was less than 600, or is
estimated at so per cent of the num-
Der Of voters in the city.
When the books were opened Wed.
nesday morning there we're unregis-
tered in the city voters to the number
Of 800, according to the estimate
made out carefully from the books
and the personal knowledge Of those
making the estimate. This would
place the number OF voters in the cor
poration at more than thirteen hun.
dred,. and with no more interest than
has ensshown by those not already
registered there will still be less than
hall. the voters qualified by the time
of the closing Of the books Friday
might.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2.-Orders
that no American troops be sent into
Mexican territory at Piedras Negras
without specific instructions from
Washington went from the war de-
partment today to Brig. Gen. Bliss,
commanding the border forces. Full
advices have been received from Gen.
Bliss and Consul Blocker concerning
the critical situation existing at Pie.
dras Negras as a result Of Its prac.
teal evacuation by the constitution,
asts before the advancing federals,
but the Washington administration
Is congdent that there will be no de.

As result Of several conferences
between Consul Blocker, Major Cald.

alist officers at Piedras Negras, II
was arranged that the constitutional.
lists would not attempt to destroy

The instructions to Gen. Bliss will
not operate to prevent American
troops from returning any fire that
may be directed upon them from the
Mexican side, such as might be Incl
dent to the use of force to defend the
bridges and keep them open.
Several days ago Gen. Bliss was au
thorized at his own request to take
care of any Mexican wounded Of eth

at the state department, was quite
sufficient to warrant the general In
taking under his own care the six car
loads of wounded constitutionalists

Rlo Grande this afternoon by the
fleeing rebels.
