TURNER'S FALLS, Mass, May Il.
Louis Cole, an inmate of the state
hospital for the insane at Gardner,
yesterday killed John Myles, his room
mate, beating him to death with
mop handle. Both men came from
Montague. Cole originally was COM
mitted TO the insane asylum at North
ampon and was transferred to the
Gardner Institution several months ago.
He is said to have shown violent ten
denotes for some time. Myles was
transferred from Northampton several
years ago.
Myles was in bed when he was at
tackled. Cole had been hopping the
floor of their room and turned upon
his companion when attendants who
had been watching them left the ward
for few moments in order to bring
the men their dinners.
John Myles, who was killed by Cole,
was former resident of Turner's
Falls, where he was employed for sew
eral years in the Esleeck paper mill.
He attempted suicide by taking paris
green about eight years ago. and when
! Chief of Police Ripley of Turner's Falls
arrived he found that Myles had scat
tered about $500 in bills about his
room. Prompt attention by physicians
saved Myles s life and an examination
showed that he was insane, so he was
committed to the Northampton state
hospital. He was transferred to Gard.
ner about five years ago. Myles WIS a
single man and nothing is known
about his relatives at Turner's Falls
His money was turned over to the
state at the time he was committed
to the asylum.
/ Montague officials were unable last
night to recall Cole and were inclined
to doubt if he was committed from

IN so far as 1t indirectly serves us,
have been vastly improved during the
administration of President Mellen.
We can testify that the passenger
service for this town has improved
more than fifty per cent in the last
seven years. We are glad to bear wit
ness that the managing officers of
these roads have met our requests and
suggestions fairly and generously. Not
only have they so far fully met in let
ter and in spirit their promise in build
ing new railroad into this town, but
they have continually improved their
physical properties in the lines which
serve this town and have undertaken
faithfully we believe, to meet the
highest standard of their duty in the
operation and management of the great
public service corporations which they
control We repudiate any statement
made in argument to the interstate
commerce commission in behalf of any
party which condemns the service of
/ the Boston & Maine railroad or the
| New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad, in so far as it relates to this
section.
We believe the best interests of New
England require that we all support
and stand by those men who are un-
dertaking to build rather than to give
aid. and comfort to those whose sole
idea seems to be to tear down.
We extend to Mr.. Charles S. Mellen,
president of the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad and the Bos-
ton and Maine railroad this word of
our hearty appreciation of the great
work which he is doing for New Eng
land

RESOLUTION.

Whereas, attacks are being made
both i'll the public press and by various
legal proceedings upon the present
management of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad and the
Boston & Maine railroad; and whereas
it is charged in many of these assaults
that under the present management the
said railroads have permitted their
service to the public to become demon
allied and inefficient throughout all
New England, and whereas it Is re-
ported in the press that the attorney
for the Boston chamber of commerce
at Washington on May I, 1913, charged
7 that these roads rendered poor service
+ in Vermont as well as other statee
named. and whereas we Believe that
the said attacks are in the main I'M
| justified and are extremely harmful to
the best interests of New England, and
that it is due to the management OF
said railroads that the business inter
ests of New England which are not in
accord with such policy of assault and
defamation, should frankly voice their
views,
Therefore. resolved: That the diree
rectors of the Brattleboro board OF

In Illinois last year the per capita

At last the ultimate consumer has
his innings. The Administration, not
satisfied with removing import duties
upon necessaries, in the hope of lessen
ing the cost of living, is sending a mes
senger to the Argentine Republic TO
invite the attention Of exporters OF
beef to the opportunities that exist in
America.
OF course, this country can produce
more than enough cattle. But, accord
ing to reports, farmers all over the
country are paying too little attention
to the shortage in the production OF
beef They are being urged not TO sell
calves as veal when they can be prof
itably raised and sold as beef. They
are being urged to raise more stock and
TO depend less upon ''money crops.
Now comes the Administration with
a plan of stimulating the importation
Of meat. We seem at last 10 have a
Government that cherishes desire to
serve the many, and does not believe
that its policy should be to coddle the

A bulletion issued by the United
States Census Bureau places the cot
TOD crop of 1912, at l4,090,s93 running
bales. This is the largest cotton crop
ever grown with the exception Of that
OF 1911.
Compared with 1911 the production
showed decline 10 all the great cot
ton-producing States with the eXcep-
tion Of Texas and Oklahoma. In each
Of these States all previous records were
eclipsed, ani Texas alone produced al
most one-fourth OF the entire CONNER
cial crop Of the world. The weather con-
ditions were highly favorable in Texas
and xlahoma lest year, which could
not be said Of the cotton-growing States
along the Mississippi Valley. The
Texas crop amounted to nearly 5000
900 running bales.
Practically all the cotton is grown
in he Southern States AboJt doz-
en- counties in Missouri produce cotton.
Small areas also devoted TO the staple
in Arizona, California, Kansas, Ken
lucky and New Mexico. as far back
as 1889 cotton was grown in Delaware,
Maryland, Indiana and Illinois, the
last-named State alone producing more
than j,00J bales. Under the stimulus
OF the high prices following the Civil
War, cotton was grown to a limited ex-
tent in West Virginia, Nevada, Cali
fornia, Illinois and Utah, in all of which
States its cultivation subsequently
ceased New Mexico, which produced
more than 1000 pounds of cotton in
1853, afterward abandoned It's culture
but has again established the industry
as has California. Cotton growing in
Virginia is confined to comparatively
small portion Of the State.
The census bulletin notes remark
able development in the cotton-seed
products industry. There were $50
establishments engaged in crushing cot
ton seed in 1912. Thirty years ago a
large part Of the seed production went
