SAN FRANCISCO PLEDGES
 $2OO,OOO FOR BIG MEET

Washington, Nov. 20.-(Special to The Press )-San Francisco, city with the golden gate, fresh with the success of the worlds greatest ex- position, has entered the list of cit ies bidding for the next democratic national convention. San Francisco never does things by halves. It's the whole thing or none with those sunkissed democrats across the Rockies. Dallas, Texas, has offer ed one hundred thousand dollars for the big meeting. St. Louis and Chi cago have called the Dallas offer with an equal amount, and boast that they are more centrally located than is the Texas metropolis This talk of central location attracted the attention of San Francisco, and San Francisco immediately pointed to the fact that a central positiAN should be shunted in as something undesirable in comparison to the wonderful climate of California. And then, just to show her sincerity San Francisco doubled the amount named by any of the other cities, and laid two hundred thousand dollars upon the democratic altar.
 It is admitted in Washington that the offer is tempting. All national committees need money. The dem ocrats this year, as usual, need lots of it, and, as a result, the San Fran cisco offer is receiving serious con- sideration.

CHAMPION PICKS HALF TON
 OF COTTON IN SINGLE DAY

Coleman, Tex, Nov. 22.-Clyde Box is the champion cotton picker of Texas. In one day he gathered 1,OO7 pounds He made the biggest record during the forenoon, when he picked 637 pounds. The nearest record is said to fall considerably short of 900 pounds. Many cotton pickers average, day after day, 450 to 300 pounds, for which they are paid at the rate of so cents to $1 per 100 pounds.
 It is hard work. for the reason that the picker has to drag a sack through the fields as he picks the cotton, and much of the work has to be done in stopping position. It is almost impossible to get white
 In Western Texas where negroes are barred from even temporary res idence in many countes, all the cot ton picking is done by MeXicans, who travel about in punches of a Ldozen or more from farm to farm, cleaning up the fields of cotton as Ithey go In single season pick fer is able to make enough money to keep himself and family for the remainder of the year.

NEW DREADNAUCHT
 IS REPORTED SUNK

London, Nov. 23.-(Special to The Press. "A report, regarded as reliable, reached London last night to the effect that a German dread naught of the newest type, was sunk in the Baltic sea by mine on Friday. The British admiralty has received no confirmation of the report. The Rotterdam message said only thirty-three members of the crew perished.
 (NOTE-Germany was building three new thirty-thousand ton dreanaughts when the war broke out more than a year ago It is understood work on the vessels was rushed to completion, and that they were placed in service within short time after the opening of hostilities. Aside from these three vessels, the newest German dread naught is the Ersatz Weissenburg, completed in July of this year.)

DANIELS PLANS SUBMARINE
 BASES AND FLEET FOR U. S

Washington, Nov. 22-(Special tc The Press) Many submarine bases along the U. S. coasts will be one of the efense program features tC be submitte by Navy Secretary Dan iels to congress. Daniels says the experimental base at New Lonon has been proved a success.
 "The strain of service on submar- inc crews is so great that it is nee essary to provide place where they may rest up after trips" said MT Daniels. Quiet quarters should be provided where the men may re- cuperate' while the vessels are re- supplied and repaired"
 The new submarine MI, just launched, is the first so-called U. s. fleet submarine. Her sister ship is the Schley. These vessels are ex- pected to accompany the battle fleet on cruises of any length. The new naval program calls for fifteen of the M-type vessels. It is pro- posed to build a number of smaller, coast defense submarines. Several of these small subs, however, have recently run the 2,000 miles be- tween San Francisco and Honolulu.

 After hearing the woman's story, District Attorney Coon and Sheriff Edgerton took Boliva to the farm where the Matronis formerly lived. Boliva at first denied knowledge of the murder, but later, District At torney Coon said, he confessed and told the men where to dig. They found the body under 9 feet of earth, the house having been torn down and the cellar filled in after the Matronis moved away.
 Boliva killed Matroni, he is said to have told the district attorney, because, after his marriage to Ma tronis step-daughter, she told him that Matroni had attacker her the day before their wedding.

BIG LAKE HUNTING
 CLUB LOSES APPEAL

Little Rock, Nov. 23.--The Ar kansas supreme court, in an opinion handed down yesterday in the Mississippi county nonresident hunting case, held that the non resident members of the Big Lake Hunting Club, controlling 27,OOO acres of land in Mississippi county, do not hold a title to the land suf- ficient to enable them to come into this state and use the ground for hunting and fishing, and affirmed the Mississippi circuit court, Blythe vile district, fining Jordan $. Stokes and Dunk Kenner, Nashville sportsmen, and others, for illegal hunting. The other men who were fined, and whose cases were con- solidated in the decision handed down yesterday, are: J. M. Blaney, J. M. Hooper, London Hoyt, J. J.. Gray, Jack Hooper. M. c. Jackson, W. R. Cole, Charles Semple, J. M. Kirkland, E. A. Price and F. M. Ward.
 The supreme court found that the deed to the land held by the hunt ing club conveyed only the right to hunt and fish on the land, and fur ther held that such a deed is not operatives; that deed that does not convey fee to land does not convey the right to hunt and fish upon it. In a previous decision the court had held that nonresident could hunt on property in the state if he owned the land.
 J. o. Osborne, convicted of boot logging in the Mississippi circuit court, also lost his appeal. Osborne, 6 partner of Andry Crum, who was lynched in the Osceola jail follow ing the killing of Sheriff Sam Mauldin of Mississippi county, in a fight with bootleggers on Island 37, lying in the Mississippi river between Arkansas and Tennessee, was convicted of operating blind tiger with Crum and fined $500 and sentenced to 30 days in jail.

Mrs. Matroni came here from Syracuse to tell the story of the murder, which. she declared, had been wit messed by her and her young son, Charles.
