l0RISn Is WANTED AS
PRESIDENT OF EMPIRE

brownsville, Ga, Sept zz-0ine9
tba suggestion of Umpire Derrick d.
! president of the Empire State league
next wear, there has been a general
among the fans of this and other
.onYs in the circuit, in opposition to
that NpggestiOn'
The 1name of Nick Corish, president
II ho &Sa1lv league, has been befor7
49, +otKns for next years presiden-,
IN weeks and it was generally
ogrpod that he would be the man 1o'
.,o nosi+ In. Certain it is that no man
living in by of the towns included Ill
the EmpiA league would want the job
ora the oi'(ion is that an outsider y
experience ! would fill the place most
acceptably
The fans argue that Derrick is not
oxnerienced as far as running
league is concerned, although they
agree that he is a good umpire and
,yonld make an acceptable one for the
league next season.
Corish is being boosted as the laV'
orite in the race, and it would not be
surprising if he is selected at the
meeting which will probably be held
in January or February to make plans
for the next seasons campaign.

GIRL given A BEATING
FOR JOINING The CHURCH
Brutal Case Reported Near
Macon

Macon. Ga, Sept. 22.-In the midGt
OF a sermon last night, the subject be-
ing NO One Careth For My Soul Rev.
T. w. Galloway, of the Tabernacle
church, told of an incident that hap
pened in the country, seven miles from
Macon, on the Columbus road only a
short while ago.
He stated that he had been reliably
informed that a girl who had joined
the Bethel church, upon returning
home, and relating the fact to the fam
lily, was taken by the father and sc
horribly beaten that it was necessary
to afterwards send for doctor to heal
her wounds.
The pastor insisted that a faith II
who cared so little for the soul of his
daughter, should have the law placed
behind him for not allowing the young
lady to worship God according to her
own conscience, or to be driven from
the community of decent people"

FARMERS PICK The BOIL WEEVLS
IN EFFORT TO SAVE THE COTTON
South Georgian Makes Trip to Infested Districts of
Mississippi and Tells of the Appalling Conditions
Existing There From RaVageS of the Cotton Boil
WeeV.

Quitman, Ga, Sept. CIV. W. Rast,
the Brooks county government demon
strator, returned today from ten
days trip through the boil weeyil in
tested districts of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi and his account of the fight be-
ing made there against the weevil is
one that should stir every southwest
Georgia farmer to action. In the party
with Mr.. Rast were a number OF
county agents, as we'll as J. G. Olivier,
G. V. Cunningham, ]. Phil Campbell.
and other agents of the government
agricultural department, who are stat
toned in Georgia. The object of the
trip was to study the boil weevil at
close range, the methods employed
against it and to formulate a campaign
in southwest Georgia against its COM
ing.
Mr.. Rast says that experience has
shown that the only really effective
method of dealing with the weeyil is tc
pick it off of the cotton by hand ana
destroy it. Thousands OF dollars have
been spent in efforts at quarantine ana
st poisoning the weevil to no avail.
This was DR.. Knapp's first theory
about the weevil and time has proved
il true. Preventive measures have been
Iboiled down to planting early varieties
of cotton and getting the acreage so
that it can be taken care of by picking
the weevils off as they appear. That
is absolutely all that can be done.
Picking Weevils Costly.
In the districts visited the Georgia
party found that where an active fight
had been waged along these lines the
cotton Weld would be from one-half to
| three quarters of a bale to the acre.
THE land owners leave the raising OF
Ic9tton largely to the negroes and the
land is portioned off to them according
tn the size of their families, the chill
dren attending to picking the WeeyiiS
eff Where the weevil pickers are paid
wages it costs from SO to SO per acre to
get this work done and this must vi
course be added to the production, The
.srmers in the Mississippi Valley use
no fertilizers on the rich black land.
Mr.. Rast says, however, that cond'-
tons are different in that country AMI
southwest Georgia particularly IN
Brooks county. Ihe FARMERS Heie az
ready diversity their crops to a greater
extent than did the farmers out there
He finds, too, that the farmers her
are more prosperous in that they hav'
better barns and more improved farm
implements. He found farmers on
there with / 900 acres planted in cotto'
and the poorest sheds for barns.
The farmers here are already diver
styling their crops, said Mr.. Rast, an
they also have an advantage in bein

able to plant cotton earlier here than
Go the Mississippi Valley farmers. Mr..
Rast does not believe the farmers can
abandon cotton altogether, though he.
himself, has not planted any cotton in
ten years. He says they must diversity
their crops more, raise more cattle and
hogs, and plant only such acreage in
cotton as they can keep free of weevils
by Manipulating, looking also to plant
ing early varieties
Weevil a Sort of Blessing.
The weevil is now within a hundred
miles of the Georgia line. Its progress
is controlled partly by weather condi-
tons and it will reach this section
perhaps next year, certainly in 1915.
The south Georgia farmer who
thinks it is not coming is dreaming"
says Mr.. Rast. He said, however, that
in the weevil districts it has proven 1
blessing, though in disguise. 1t has
forced the farmers to diversity and has
made them more economical and as a
result the bankers out there say the
farmers have more money now than
they used to have when they depended
On cotton entirely as their chief source
of revenue.

WILL NOT ACT
AGAINST GEORGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The trus-
tees of the George Junior Republic,
of Freeville, N. Y, will take no ac-
ton on that part of the recent report
of the State Board of Charities
recommending that William r.
George, founder of the institution, be
removed from all participation In its
affairs. The trustees will make public
late this afternoon a reply to the ten
recommendations of the board as to
the future conduct of the institution,
but will take the ground that Mr..
George officially severed his connec-
ton with the republic in 1908 and that
therefore they have no jurisdiction
over him. Mr.. George owns his home
In Freeville and the committee would
have no right to evict him, even If 1t
so desired, 1t was said.
This was announced today after a
meeting of the trustees at which their
forthcoming reply was drawn up. 1t
was further said that trustees had no
intention of abandoning the self-gov-
eminent principles of the republic.

Act on Appeal Question

bankrupt Home Ice and Products
Company. of this city and Plainfield,
is being held in New York city today.
The purpose is to decide whether or
not an appeal should be taken from

appointment of Ernest L. Quacken-
bush as trustee for the company.
The ice company is one of the con-
Germs in which Raymond p. Smith
was interested. 1t failed following
the closing of the Roseville Trust
Company. Quackenbush was ap-
pointed trustee by Referee Adams
after the attorneys for the various
creditors had failed to agree on any
candidate at an all-day session.
Attorney Nathan Bidder, appearing
for New York attorneys who repre-
sent a majority of the creditors, asked
for a postponement of the seal of the
real estate owned by the company
until the United States District Court
had passed on the referees appoint
ment If the creditors decided to have
the matter reviewed.
The referee allowed an order for
the sale of the property, imposing
the conditions that 1t must be sold
for not less than $4,000. Attorney
Wilfred c. Roszel, representing cred
itors, spoke in favor of operating the
business, declaring that a profit of
perhaps $1,000 could be made IL the
plant was kept running long enough.
The referee did not approve this
course.

Youngstown, o., Sleuth,
Champion Shot, Gives an
Exhibition on Range Here

Detective John j. Kane. of Youngs-
town, Ohio, rated as the greatest po-
lice shot in the country, gave an ex-
hibition of his skill on the ranges at
the Sixth precinct yesterday after
noon. He shot a string against two
OF the best revolver shots in the To-
cal department, Louis Holzworth and
Joseph Bruins.
Bruins scored SO, Kane So and Holz-
worth 81. Kane was handicapped by
the fact that he had never shot on in
door ranges before and had used in
his championship matches a six-inch
barrel gun instead of the four-inch
barrel as used by the local men. On
q second trial he beat Bruns's string
by a score of 30.
Kane came to this city to get Abra-
ham Steinrich, who was arrested at
1853 Blocker street, by Lieutenant
Detectives Meehan and Donovan, of
local headquarters, as fugitive from
Youngstown. where he jumped his
bail of 1920 after being indicted for
keeping a disorderly house and other
counts
Kane has shot at Camp Perry
against the army men and against
the police of Harrisburg, Pittsburg,
indianapolis and practically every
large city of the West. He has the
title of champion revolver shot of
Ohio. Many members of the local
force took the opportunity to witness
his exhibition yesterday.

THINK LOPEzIS
Gagged IN MINE
Utah-Apex Securely Sealed,
but Will Be Opened After
Christmas.

BINGHAM. Utah, Dec. 23.-If
Ralph Lopez. slayer of six men, is
still in the Utah-Apex mine, where
he took refuge on November n, he
is securely sealed up and will be
held a prisoner there until after
Christmas. Not a sound has come
from the mine since December IA
when heavy bukheads were erected
in the tunnel mouths to prevent a
dash for liberty.
Although Sheriff Smith, now in
charge of the man hunt, was conf1-
dent today that the desperate Is
either dead or alive in the mine,
many believe he escaped shortly
after sludges were lit on December
/ for the purpose of asphyxiating
him and that the mystery of the
mine will not be cleared until the
bulkheads are removed and the
workings searched Tor the gunman's
body. Other than the stories OF
miners, who said they had encoun-
tered Lopez and talked with him,
there has been nothing to indicate
Lopez's presence in the mine since
November 30. following his killing
of two deputies in the Andy tunnel.
The pursuit of Lopez began on
November 81, after he had killed
Mexican. Before the day ended he
had killed the chief of police and two
deputy sheriffs.
