j. M. SHAHAN' $
 CROP PRAISED

According to the opinion of cotton experts from Texas and other south ern states, the J. NJ. Shahan cotton crop consisting of 155 acres on the Springer ranch, F miles west of Phoenix on the Christy road, is one of the best in the valley.
 In the entire 1855 acres there are only three acres which are not up to the standard of the remainder of the crop. The stalks. which average twelve feet in height, are literally GOV cred with bols The bolls on the lower part of the stalk have broken open and are ready for picking
 In an effort to reach an estimate as to the average number of bolls on a stalk, total of 270 bolls were counted on an ordinary sized plant. Although the tops of the plants are covered with new bolls experts state that it will all be cotton before the middle of November
 Superintendent William Waddell, in charge of the 40 people handling the crop. was induced to come here from New Mexico. He is an expert in the raising and handling of cotton having gained his experience in New Mexico and Texas fields.
 Next year MT. Shahan contemplates giving families parcels of land to farm ranging from 40 to so acres in size, with the idea of farming on more intensive scale. He is of the opinion that this will tend to elimi- nate entirely the wastage of land

25.-(By the Associated Press.)-Cap- tain Roehl, the initiator of the German shock units, received rude counter shocks yesterday, when. with special ly selected model battalion he attempt ed to evict the French from positions extending from the northwest corner of the Posses wood to the eastern fringe of Chaume wood, on the Verdun battlefield
 Sprays of liquid flame and furious grenade attack followed a terrific Ger man bombardment of the French lines, but the French troops, undismayed by this. went out to meet their assailants and beat them back with bayonet and hard grenade, until the discomfited Germans were forced to return to their own trenches.
 There were many hand to hand com- bats between the lines. where the Ger mans now lie thick Not an inch of territory was reconquered by the Ger mans, notwithstanding their extraor- dinary efforts to regain ground in the neighborhood of Hill 352, which would be of immense advantage to their ob- servers.
 Other German attacks facing Bezon- vauX and to the south of Beaumont were intended to distract the attention Of the French from the real German objective. Here the Germans came face to face with French colonial bat talions, who hurled the enemy back inflicting a large number of casualties and maintaining inviolate the entire French line.
 Three divisions of the crown prince 8 army participated in the action.

correspondent examined the roll of past captives, among whom were the terrorist assassin, Gershuni, and the chemist. Nicholas Morosoff, held in the bastion for 25 years under sus- picion of complicity in the assassina- tion of Alexander II.
 In the roll were the two other en- tries of a striking character in a diff ferent way The first reads:
 xaIV JJoHqos9!d :GI fIBnuBf 'e06I., is Maximovitch." This is the real name of Maxim Gorky. The second entry reads:
 "Gillik Issye, identity uncertain, be- ieved surnamed MaZantZeff, handed ovc- for execution February ', 190S'
 While the roll was under examination there occurred the most striking inci- dent of the visit. After putting his head into one of the side rooms, the procurator announced that the exam ination within the room had been fin ished. Into the chancellory with two soldiers behind him walked, we'll dressed but collarless, a man of middle height, slight figure, small features and a short, grayish beard, with eyes un- naturally bright and almost feverish and an expression of extraordinary re- finement and dignity.
 That" said the procurator, lis NJ PrOtpopoff."
 The former minister of the interior stopped in the middle of the room.

RICHMOND, Cal. Sept. 25.-Federal officials said tonight they were mak ing a thorough investigation of a gas explosion that partially wrecked the Standard oil steamer J. A. Moffett. at her dock here early today, killing two men. J. H. Brooks, superintendent of the Standard Oil plant here, said he believed the explosion was purely ac- cidental. His theory was that one of the victims had ignited the gas by striking q match.
 The steamers cargo of 61,000 gall Ions of gasoline and crude oil was not harmed.
 The explosion. according to J. F. Brooks. superintendent at Richmond, for the Standard Oil company, was probably caused by ignition of gas while the men were cleaning the hold More than 6G,000 gallons of oil which lad been pumped aboard escaped de- Struction

 The court yard, in which because of rain that was falling at the time no one was exercising, makes an incon- gruous impression because though overlooked by the -forbidding barred windows, it can be reached only through metal cage, in which the prisoners wait The yard itself is a green paradise, overgrown by non- flowerless jasmine and lilac bushes and shaded by tall lines of poplars. aspens and naples It is trimmed with broken pavement, from the crevices of which rise wild plants and untrod- den grasses. Under a towering tree m the center of the yard shapeless bath house used by the prisoners stands another incongruous note.
 Next in order came a visit to the unoccupied obsolete part of the prison under the commandant's house. This consists of real stone sacks" with earthen floors far below the river lev el and with windows guarded by cum brous bar works, designed to initiate row. of medieval halbreds.

AVOID DRAFT BY TAKING ID BRUSH

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

ENID, Okla, Sept. 25-With testi- mony that leaders of the Working Class Union urged their members to take to the brush and shoot the of ficers who came after them," to draft them into the national army, the gov ernment rested it's case late today in the trial against the eleven men ac- cused of participation in the Oklahoma anti-draft riots of August 1st.
 That the Working Class Union at the time of the arrests, was planning a state convention to arrange for guns and ammunition also was stated, as well as that the Unions plans included communicating equipment of the Ok lahoma national guard.
 Government attorneys believe thu testimony brought out covers the all legged purpose of the union to foment treason among the ignorant classes of people. It was said enough ground work had been laid to show later that Rube Munson, state organizer and B. k. Spence, state secretary of the union, had received funds from German agents.
 The defense will begin introducine testimony tomorrow.
 J. c. Harrod, aged father of three of the defendants, who Friday attempted to commit suicide, occupied the wit ness stand throughout the morning. Weak from loss of blood he was asked to tell the jury why he wished to die.
 In voice so low none but the court stenographer could hear, he replied
 T was willing to suffer as I tried to, rather than tell the things I knew I would have to tell here against my neighbors."
 Harrod lives in the immediate vii cinity of the eleven defendants.

 Without offering any testimony at his preliminary hearing which began yesterday before Magistrate Pitts, Means through counsel, late today con- scented to be bound over to the higher court. The magistrate attached to the remanding order a statement by Means counsel that their consent was predi- cated upon two facts: that they could not present a proper defense without possession of papers seized in Means New York apartment. and that they had been informed New York officials here had brought eXtradltion warrants to take their client to New York on some undisclosed criminal charge.
 Unsuccessful attempts to get pos session of the papers were made by some of Means counsel while others argued for the dismissal of the prison CT on the ground that the state had failed to make out case.
 They particularly attacked the tes timony yesterday of two experts tha, Mrs. King could not have fired the shot that caused her death.
 Mrs. Mary c. Melvin. a sister of Mrs. King, joined Means in obtaining a writ from Circuit Judge Webb at Gastonla, which if made permanent would re- quire Assistant District Attorney Doll ing and other New York and Chicago officials who came here to aid in the prosecution, to turn over the documents to the clerk of the superior court. The writ is returnable October and in the meantime Solicitor Clement, to whom the documents were delivered, will keep them.
 Among the documents mentioned in the writ was the alleged second will of the late J. c. King of Chicago. F. T. Cansler of Means counsel. in- dicated no habaes corpus proceedings would be started pending grand jury action.

Because the cattle industry has been hard hit by the draft, John Montgomery well known cattle man of Arlington has asked Judge Lyman to excuse him from jury duty. Mont gomery declares that he will better serve his country by producing food than serving on jury.
 He stated yesterday that it was i'm possible to get a sufficient number of men for work on his ranch and that it followed that he could not get away from his ranch for any length of time without suffering material loss.
 A friend suggested that Montgomery invade the motion picture world for material but the Arlington rancher has little faith in the picture cow mans ability.

 The prisoners exercise in the court yard twice daily with oniy their guards for company. They never see one an- other. The doctor visits each cell daily, but in case of serious sickness the prisoners are sent to hospitals outside, as were, for instance the late Premier Sturmei and the former empress friend, Mile. Virubova as there is no hospital within the fortress. The pris- oners behave extremely well and are never querulous now.

than Monday nights, and apparently the raiders were less numerous. There was a general air of expectation of another visit and many business houses and stores closed down somewhat ear Her than usual to enable the employees to reach home before the raiders ar rived. As a result, when the police warnings to take cover were given, the streets in the city section were rapidly cleared, although much omnibus traf- fic continued throughout the raid. Con- siderable crowds had been waiting at most of the tube stations in expecta- tion of the raid and immediately took refuge underground.
 The air battle tonight was compar- atively insignificant compared with that of Monday night, as heard in tho center of the city.
 The anti-aircraft fire in the first in- stance lasted only about ten minutes It then stopped entirely for about 40 minutes, when it was resumed again in a more distant section, but only for a few minutes. Nothing further was heard after this, although it was still another half hour before the police gave the signal that all was clear.
 Apparently one raider reached the southeastern outskirts of London. Bombs dropped by him caused twenty casualties.
 A successful raid by British naval air men on the German airdome at Vars Senaere, Flanders, is announced in an official statement from the admiralty. A fight between a naval aerial patrol and a German squadron, in which one German machine was destroyed and another driven down out of control, also is reported.
 The Germans delivered a powerful attack against the British east of Ypres today. They succeeded in gaining foot hold in the British lines on narrow fronts Hand to- hand fighting ensued and after another German attack the British drove them from their newly won positions and re-established their line in it's entirety, according to Field Marshal Haig's report tonight.
 Total casualties of all British ranks in all war theaters for the week ending today are reported officially to have been 23035 The casualty lists are sub divided as follows:
 Officers killed or died of wounds 103.
 Men killed or died of wounds, 4,430.
 Officers wounded or missing, 432.
 Men wounded or missing, 18,070.
