LOAN VALUE OF
COTTON NOT FIXED
STATE COMMISSIONERS MEET,
BUT FAIL TO TAKE ACTION
IN MATTER.

Commissioners of agriculture of
different southern states met at
Little Rock last week and discussed
a plan to fix the loan value for
cotton, but reached no definite con-
clusion in the matter. The board
decided that existing conditions did
not warrant the adoption of any
standard rate for loans, and issued
the following statement:
l. Reports brought in and receiv-
ed from cotton states places esti-
mates of cotton crop at this time
stys TO exceed Il,500,80G bales with
prospects of further deterioration on
account of excessive drouth in
western section causing heavy she'd
ding, heavy rains in eastern and
southern sections resulting in boil
weevil and red spider infestation.
z. Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Ala
bama, and other southern states re-
port that in view of the short crop
they have ample financial facilities
for handling Of same.
;. The abolishing of the through
bills of lading on export cotton has
worked a great hardship in financing
of the cotton crop and we recon-
mend the establishing Of same.
a. In view of the present trans
portation situation and the facih-
ties that will be afforded to cotton
movement we recommend the move
ment of cotton between the points of
concentration in train loads.

SUSPICIOUS LOOKING
 AUTOMOBILE CAPTURED
One Old Man and Two Young Men Taken Into Custody Engine Number Had Been Filed Off.

Constable Fred Murrah and Night Marshal Litton, who are becoming famous as prodigal Ford catchers. were again aForded chance to prove their ability last night when they divided the honors in a capture which took place near the creek below H. V. Scotts farm
 According to Constable Murrah, three men, giving their names as J. w. Silvis, about 65 years of age, E.. J. Hatzel and Ralph Dupont, both young men, walked into Prescott last night afoot after having been seen to drive Ford car into the woods near the creek. The officers went out after being notified that the car had been secreted, and examined the engine the number having been filed off. This suspicious looking evidence caused the officers to question the man who became indignant and re- fused to talk, telling the officers it was none of their business where they got the car. One of the boys escaped but was captured this morning at Bierne by Officer Litton. When Off, cer Murrah went out to get the car he ordered one of the men to back it out of the woods and drive it to town. When he backed the car out he man. aged to handle it rough enough to break the radius rod and the indig- nant tourists were loaded into anoth- CT waiting automobile and brought to Prescott and lodged in jail Little Rock officers communicated with said three cars had been stolen in that city Wednesday night and an investiga- tion is now under way.
 Upon being pressed with questions, the older man stated they were from Little Rock, where they borrowed the Ford from a man by the name of Stanley Cape, and were on their way to New Orleans. They contradicted themselves numerous times, which led the officers to more firmly believe they were on an unlawful trip. Sylvis stated that Hatzel was his son, which was denied by the boy. Dupont this morning stated his real name was Hatzel. The authorities here are awaiting information from Little Rock, where it is believed the car originally came from
