COTTONSEED CO
STEADILY ABOVE
THIRTY DOLLARS

Americas busy streets were again
crowded this morning with cavalcades
of farm wagons hauling cottonseed to
the mills here. The unusually good
prices being paid, $50 per ton or bet
ter, have tempted many farmers here
to sell seed and put the money either
in cottonseed meal or other kinds OF
fertilizer, although as yet but few fer
tilizer sales have been reported in
the market thus far this season. The
manufacturers are not pushing their
goods, tho merchants are not buying
much fertilizer and the farmers are
not making much inquiry as to the pro-
duct. Usually by this time a large
amount of guano and other fertilizer
has been sold in this market.

VIENNA, Jan. 3O.-Today's official

is progressing satisfactorily to Aus

outflank the Austrian army command
ed by Archduke Ferdinand has been
completely frustrated, and a Russian
movement against Cracow blocked in
the same maneuver An Austrian army
is now engaged in assaulting the Rus

the enemy has been forced to abon-

Russian attempts to invade Tran
sylvania have proven ineffective, and
the Carmen in that section find them
selves facing an overwhelming Aus
trian army which is steadily driving
their outposts toward the Carpathians.
The line of communication between
these troops and their base is seriuos-

FOUR MEN ENTER PAWNSHOP IN
NEW YORK AND HOLD UP CLERK
AT POINT OF PISTOI,-MAKE A
SAFE GETAWAY WITH $4,000
WORTH OF DIAMONDS
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-A big diamond
robbery reported to the police early
today is the sensation of the metrop-
oils this afternoon. The crime rivals in
audacity the sensational assassination
of the gambler Herman Rosenthal by
east side gangsters a year or so ago,
and for which four men have already
been electrocuted Police lieut. 'Chas.
Becker is now under sentence of death
as participant in the crime. A big
grey automobile used by today's thieves
resembled closely the notorious "mur-
der car" so prominent in the Rosen-
thai case.
Between forty and fifty thousand dol
lars worth of loot was secured by the
bold highwaymen, who operated in
broad daylight, displaying wonderful
nerve in successfully holding up three
clerks, who were in charge of the
east side pawnshoop where the big
robbery occurred. Four men entered
the store shortly after the opening
hour and asked to be shown some dia-
monds. AS soon as the big safe door
swung open, each of the bandits drew
a revolver and commanded the clerks
to throw up their hands. One of the
number then produced dark velvet
bag which he filled with the contents
of the pawnbroker's diamond safe and
the quintet left the building.
A big automobile standing outside
the curb was entered the bandits who
were quickly whirled away before ev-
en- the number of their car could be
secured The men were all we'll dress
ed, and apparently belong to the more
genteel class of crooks. A description
of the highwayman has been furnished
the police, tut no trace of them has
yet been found.
