New York.-An Indian camp has

who is 80 years old, protested against
the combining four walls of a mere

sons, George, Arthur and Philip Mu-

arrested in their apartments on the

of the elder Musica, Louise and
Grace, were also detained. The par
ty was taken into custody just before
the departure Of the Heredia for Co.

When searched at police headquar-
ters, large amount of money and
much negotiable paper was found in
the possession of the prisoners. Fifty
thousand dollars was secured from
Arthur Musica and about ten thou
sand more from other members of the
party.
The Musicas carried with them nine
pieces of baggage, which the police
hauled to headquarters. 1t is believ-

The Musicas did not appear to be
perturbed over their arrest. Affidavits
were sworn out charging the father
and three sons with being fugitives
from justice and the two daughters
with being material Witnesses.
On the way to the central police
station an incident occurred which
caused some excitement. The elder
Musica attempted to secure from Phil
ip a revolver which the son had in
his pocket.
"No, won't give it up. I am going
to kill myself before I get to police
Headquarters, Philip declared.
The weapon was taken away from
him after a desperate struggle with
one of the detectives escorting the
party.
Eighteen thousand dollars in bills
of large denominations was found
hidden in Miss Grace Musicals cor
set. Eighty thousand dollars was re-
covered from Musica and his three
sons.

Included in the statistics for 1912
are:
Linters. 6O5,7O4 bales: Sea Island
cotton. 1854 bales; round bales, ST.
528. Round bales are counted in the
estimate as half bales.
The average weight of the bale for
1912 is 5O7.S pounds as compared with
5044 pounds for 1911 and 501.7 for
1910.
Cotton not yet ginned is included
in the total estimate, and is placed
by ginners and delinters as 1912
bales.
The only surprise in the estimate
is the great increase in linters, which
this year are placed at 605,704 bales,
a startling jump from 1911.
Analysis of the figures by states
shows big crops west of the Missis-
sippi Texas with nearly 100000
bales and Oklahoma with a million.
When the crop west of the river is
heavy, linters show a great increase,
and the diminished crop in the east
has very little effect on linters.
The Texas cotton has fuzzy seed,
which will not gin clean.
