STIR IS CAUSED

Main St. Orange. Phone 1858.
The above advertisement Is causing
a furry of excitement among residents
in the neighborhood of 262 Parker
street. They say it is purely the
work of spite.
The owner of the house is Charles
j. Kieran, a real estate operator, of
376 Parker street
The dealer who placed the adver-
tisement acknowledged today that he
was acting for Kieran. When Kieran
was asked whether he wanted to sell
the house to colored people, he re-
piled: "Tll sell 1t to any one with
the money"
Kieran would not say anything
about the sale to 'colored people" as
being retaliatory.
He bought q lot a year ago last
spring from Fred NJ. Baum, who says
that negotiations were first opened
for a man named Banks.
Baum had owned three lots in Par
ker street for a number of years.
When he bought them they had been
unrestricted. but the street was after
wards restricted solely to residential
uses. A clause was ordered inserted
in the deed to the lot at 262 by Mr..
Baum stating that no building other
than the restricted type should be
built on the lot. The word placed"
was used instead of built.
Kierans plan was to move a house,
formerly occupied by John ]. Herman,
for years gardener for j. William
Clark. at 1928 Parker street, to the
lot at 262. The city authorities would
not allow him to do so, however. 1t
is said that threats were made that
IL the plan was thwarted revenge
would be had by building house and
letting or selling 1t to colored per-

Storms in Cotton Belt
Make Cotton Prices Soar;
Market Up 3S Points

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Apprehen-
sions of serious damage to the crop
caused a big advance in the cotton
market this morning. The opening
was p to IS points higher on an e&-
cited general buying movement,
which carried December contracts up
TO sl9.79, or $3.50 per bale above the
low level of last week.
Reports of frosts at many points in
Texas, Oklahoma and the Mississippi
valley and snow and sleet in some
sections of the Eastern belt caused
the rise. Heavy realizing checked the
advance around the opening figures
and caused slight reactions. but the
market was very nervous over the
outlook.
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 20.-The cold
wave put the price, of cotton up
almost 81 bale soon after the mar
lxet opened this morning. On the first
call there was a rush to buy, and
prices mounted swiftly.
Trading months went to a level 36
to A. points up before long profit
taking caused a reaction. However,
the downward movement was not
well maintained. as detailed reports
from the weather bureau made the
situation over the belt look worse
than did the weather map.
