Four-Fifths of Share oe $135,OO0,O00 to Aid Cotton
 Raised in North
APPREHENSJVE OF
 ANTITRUST LAW.
Bankers Want to Be Assured Sub- scriptions Are Legal-McAdoo Characterizes Fear as
 Pure Buncombe"

Washington, November 6.--Eour- hfths of the share of northern banks i'm the st35,O00,0oO cotton loan fund hns been subscribed, and unless bankers hold back for fear that consummation of the plan will be held in violation of the sherman antitrust law, the re- mainder soon will he forthcoming.
 Secretary McAdoo announced today that $50 0O0,000 had been raised among north- ern bankers, and that the remaining S2.- 00000o to be subscribed in the north was in sight. At the same time 1t became known that certain bankers who had been counted on had become reluctant to enter the plan until assured the method by which the loan is being raised does not violate the sherman law,
 Discountenance Fear
 Such fear was characterized by Afn McAdoo as "'pure buneombe." It Ia known, however that the objection was considered by some authorities sufficiently serious to bring request for an opinion from Attorney General Gregory as to the plans legality
 Distrust has come largely from New England Bankers there are said 10 be chary of the plan because of the recent indictment of former directors of the New Haven railroad. They have pointed, too, to the acquisition of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company years ago by the United states Steel corporation, a transaction sanctioned by the authorities here. but subsequently, held by others to have been in violation of the sherman act. | It was reported tonight that when the fund first was discussed this question was raised. and that representative of the reserve board consulted department of justice officials.
 At that time it was the opinion of the official consulted that there was no viola tion of the law, that the fund was to be raised voluntarily. and that It's purpose was not torestram competition or raisd prices, but to extend aid in making loans to producers.
 Need Contributions
 That opinion, though not from the Att torney General, was sufficient for most of those asked to contribute. 1t failed, how eyer to convince the New Englanders. l Their contributions, probably necessary to complete success of the plan. are under- stood to have been pledged contingent upon favorable opinion by Attorney 1 General Gregory himself
 Lawyers outside the treasury depart ment are for the most part of the v,ew that no violation of the Sherman law can result. 1t generally was predicted tonight that that view would be concurred in by MT. Gregory, and that complete success of the plan will be announced shortly l Attorney General Gregory and Secretary McAdoo conferred for an hour tonight and later if was reported that Mr. Gregory had upheld his subordinates in the opin. ion that the loan plan could not be con strued to be In violation of the Sherman act or any other law. No announcement was made, however, and although the Attorney General carried a memorandum to the treasury, 1t was said no written opinion had been prepared.

TWO MORE STATES 0UARANT|NED BY THE GOVERNMENT Nine States Now Cannot Ship Cattle From

SHEEP AND HOGS
 ALSO UNDER BAN
Suspected That Case of Foot and Mouth Disease Exists in Mississippi. Packers Will Not Advance
 Prices Because of Epidemic

WaSnlngtOn, NOvemDer o.-f urther spread of the live stock foot and mouth disease caused the extension of the federal quarantine today to two more states, Massachusetts, and Iowa. Cat tie, sheep and hogs now cannot be moved out of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Mary land, New York, Massachusetts or Iowa.
 In addition to the states already quarantined, suspected case exists at Como, Miss, where it is reported g herdowner himself has contracted the disease. The federal authorities are advising state officials to impose stringent quarantine against in fected farms and even to prevent chil- dren from leaving the farms to attend iool.
 Hope was expressed today upon the receipt of no reports of new cases in Indiana and Michigan that the cpl demic there had been placed under control New cases were found in Penn sylvania and Illinois
 l Spread Increases Cost The spread of the disease makes eer- tain an increased cost of putting down the epidemic. It would not surprise of
 hcials if the cost would be nearer the s2,o0O,000 expended by the German gov ernment to eradicate the disease from among its cattle a few years ago than the $100,ooo spent In fighting the 1908
 outbreak. The expense of having in- spectors trace the various shipments
 from infected centers will be large. Ter
 new inspectors were rushed today tC Wisconsin, Iowa and Massachusetts.

MORE GOOD ORE IS
FOUND At CRIPPLE CREEK

Cripple Greek. Dec. 21.-An ore
body that is remarkable in its scope
both regarding values and size. II said
to be exposed on the Ineham vein. ait
uated on Raven hin The ore vein
is SO feet wide and during the past
two months shipments have been
maintained at the rate Of 1000 tons
each month.
Drifting that has been forward has
thoroughly demonstrated the continu-
ity Of the shoot. 1t has been almost
impossible to handle the output as
the result OF the heavy tonnage that
has been broken. and the manager. L.
c. Carlton. is now considering the ad-
visibility of constructing an aerial
tramway. the terminus Of which win
be ut the railroad tracks.
It is reported that an average of so
tons Of ore are being broken daily
that brings a mill settlement OF $40
ton in gold. and that during the month
OF November the total output approx
mated $4,000 For December il is
believed that the production will be
at least doubled. with every prospect
that the scope of operations will be
enlarged until the output win be again
doubled.
The ore now being mined is being
broken from the Insham vein. prop
erty belonging to the Doctor Jack Pot
Mining Company. Its greatness is
best understood when it is known that
no sorting becomes necessary. while
on the other hand the entire vein
matter-so feet across lis shipped di-
rect to the mills or reduction works.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

She needed pots and a new floor
broom.
And window shades for the children's
room;
Her sheets were down to threadbare
And her table cloths were a sight to
see
She wanted scarfs and towel rack
And a good. plain. useful dressing
sacque.
Some kitchen spoons and a box for
bread.
A pair of scissors and sewing thread.
She hoped some practical friend
would stop.
And figure out that she'd like a mop.
Or bath room rug or lacquered
tray
Or few plain plates for every day.
She hoped and hoped and she wished
lot
But these, of course. were the things
she got:
cut glass vase and bonbonniere.
A china thing for receiving hair.
Some oyster forks. a manicure set.
A chafing dish and cellaret,
A boulder cap and drawn-work mat,
And sterling this and sterling that
A gilt-edged book of lofty theme.
And fancy bags till she longed to
scream:
Some curling tongs and a powder puff
And a bunch Of other useless stun.
But though she inwardly ragged she
wrote
To all her friends the selfsame note
And said to each Of the damfool
host
-Jus how did you guess what I need
