STORM KING. y. Y. Jan. ?l.-Standing
on the side of storm King, that mountain
at the Hudsons shore, one may look down
at the river 1.1O0 feet, beneath which
many men toiled and struggled and died
that a bore II feet in diameter and half
a mile long might be drilled through solid

same year the work. little more than be-

great difficulty was encountered. At first

Then the engineers hit upon the scheme
of drilling two inch holes down into the

Carl did not shoot Monroe +. Ellis. the
Bask.ng Ridge lumber dealer. back in
November, 1911. there Is n strong posi-
billty that through the young man the
actual culprit may BE- discovered. This is
believed TO be the reason why Prosecutor
Frederick A. Pope has refused to free
Carl from the Somerset county jail. where
he has been for the last week.
e The prosecutor has been pursuing q
mysterious course in the Carl case. givins
different reasons for keeping Carl in a
cell. County Detective Totten is still
working on n line which he will not tell
about but which will. he thinks. do more
to clear up the Ellis matter than anything
yet attempted.
Carl will have a hearing probably on
Friday before County Judge Daniel II
Beekman. Prosecutor Pope expects 10
have Allan P!nkerton. head OF the detec-
tive agency which worked up the case
against Carl. and John A Roebling. who
paid the fees, as witnesses In his effor;
TO hold the prisoner for n while longer.

FIRESTONE co. BUYS COTTON
ordcr Placed With Ralph IInl for a
Bale ut 10 Cents Pound,

The "Buy a Bale Of Cotton" move
ment has spread to all points north,
south, east and west, and purchases
have greatly exceeded expectations.
This movement has been the means
OF several million dollars being put
into circulation in the South, as well
rs bringing about a more stable mar
ket for the cotton crop.
Among the most enthusiastic sup
porters Of this movement have been
the automobile and accessory dealers
and manufacturers. 1t has been esti-
mated that the automobile and acces-
sorry manufacturers have purchased,
or have under headway, at least 5O,-
600 bales, at 10 cents per pound.
which means circulation of ST.
100000 in the South. 1t is further
estimated that this amount by Christ
mas will have paid from 10 to II mil
lions Of dollars in debt.
Among the prominent supporters OF
this new movement has been the

was one of the first to purchase cot
ton for display in their various

gesting new rules and other ideas for
tho good Of the club. A Christmas
fund Is being raised and Miss DorO-
thy turns was made custodian of
these funds by an overwhelming ma

Hearts was the principal game
and all the members played except
those who were still singing the Song

Mrs. Burns then invited the "Col-
onels' to the dining room, whcrc the
tablc-spread with an endless list of
gOOdies-madc Il most attractive sight.
An alluring and bountiful col
lection Of daintics so seductive was
arranged over this long to be rcmmc-

quircd to insure full attendance
and the attendance became rapidly
fuller and fuller. Miss Elizabeth
China will entertain the next meeting
