Baby Sister Shot by
Boy Of 10, Initiating
Western Movie Scenes
Youngster Uses Pistol Just Like
Cowboys Do and Kills
Little Girl.

NEW YORK. March 20-with mind
influenced by motion pictures of In
dams and cowboys ten-y ear-old Ste
phen Pantes, of No. 1853 Third avenue,
Passaic, N. J., shot his four year-o
sister, Maggie. She died almost in
stantly.
The tragedy occurred in the kitchen
of the little home while the father was
at work and the mother in the hos
pital. Mrs. Kovak, who conducts a
small store in front of the living rooms
occupied by the Pantes, was taking
care of the children, but had left them
for a minute to attend to customers.
The children have been almost insep-
arabic and devoted to each other.
Mrs. Kovac. while in the store, heard
a terrific report, and, rushing TO the
rear room, found the boy still clutching
the pistol and bending over the form of
his little sister. He was crying bit
terly.
The boy said he found a key and
just wanted to do as the cowboys he
saw in the moving pictures did. 1t is
believed he suggested a game of IN
dians" with his sister, and, quite una
ware Of the danger, fired the revolver
when within a very short distance of
her. The mother, critically i'll in the

Linters Very High.

Included in the statistics for 1912
are.
Linters, 6O5,7O4 bales; Sea Island
cotton, 2S,641 bales; round bales, ST.
52S. 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
5o44 pounds for 1911 and SOIL for
1910.
Cotton not vet ginned is included
in the total estimate. and Is placed by
ginners and delinters as 129,172 bales.
"A dogfall" is the expression of At
'anta cotton men in commenting on
the census bureaus estimate. There
we're some few authorities in the trade
who looked for 14,250,000, or even more.
There were as many who looked for
less But the majority of well-infOrm-
ed cotton men looked for 100000.
The only surprise in the estimate IS
the great increase in linters, which
this year are placed at sos, 704 bales,
startling jump from 1911. Spot deal
ers were at a loss to explain this, but
cotton oil men have a reasonable eX-
PLANTATION.
Analysis of Figures.
Analysis of the figures by states
shows big crops west of the Missis-
sippi; Texas with nearly 100000 bales
and Oklahoma with million. When
the crop west of the river is heavy,
inters show a great increase, and the
diminished crop in the east has very
little effect on linters.
The Texas cotton has a fuzzy seed,
which will not gin clean. Again, in
Texas and the western belt generally,
gins are larger, and the cotton is not
as carefully cleaned of it's staple The
result Is a greater yield for the de-
anters In the eastern belt. gins are
smaller, ginning is much closer and
the black seed cotton naturally is
cleaner of lint
Besides, for the first SO days of last
year, cotton was ginned while not well
dried out The staple can not he
stripped as clean from damp cotton.
Tor ii will stick to the seed. This was
another factor increasing the linters
Weld.
Georgia cotton yields about so pounds
OF lint to the bale of cotton, while in
Texas the yield is 50 pounds of lint to
the bale.
The Georgia crop is shown in the
Hnal estimate at something larger than
many leaders in trade had expected.
