COTTON MARKETS
Edge Appears Off the Bull
Side in Cotton, But Pres
sure Is Limited.

Wednesday Afternoon, Sept. "a.
Apparently the edge was off the bull
side IA the cotton market today, but
buying power seemed less thar for sew
eral days. Yet withal there was little
willingness 10 sell and sentiment was
confused. The idea prevailed In some
oiFcles that the hullish features Ia the
new had been pretty well discounted,
but with the bureau report just ahead
and general expectation that It viii
show a low condition and stimulate re-
duced crop ideas efforts for a lower
level were lacking. Most offerings We're
from traders who had profits or nom
spot people releasing hodges. The mat
ter OF deciding which shall dominate,
the shortage OF the crop or the slow
buying by the ~spinners, Is still unsolYed
and opinions differ as to which will.
Liverpool cables were not so sug-
gcstive Of activity as they Were yes
terday, and the bullish feeling evidently
had been wen satisfied by the rise.
close and finals were called barely
steady and were from 2 points up TO 3
down. Spots were marked up 81
points, middling TO 10. T0d, with sales
5000 bales, including $500 American.
Receipts for the day were 1900, all
tie or no news.
The weather map showed that the
belt Jared better during the past "a
hours. for there was little OF which
10 complain. Rainfall was scarce and
temperatures were not low enough 70

as there was nothing to Indicate change
from present conditions. .

a hullish weekly summary, and II was
not disappointed. although Il was no

seemed to stiffen ideas among the bulls,
but was not any worse than already
known and by most people regarded as
having been taken into account
The steel strike news was given at
~tention, but there was little definite In
what came TO hand. The situation Is
one full OF uncertainties, although Tho
stock market did not reflect any large
concern over Il.
The markets were quiet and without
special feature, except that activity was
less. The opening was near the prevl-
GUS close, December being at 3l,70c, but
In a short while dipped to 3l.b4c when
some scattered liquidation took place.
Some support, coming from trade inter-
eSts and others who were bullish, sent
the price up to S1.S0c, but again there
was realizing, The next dip extended
TO 2t.4ic, hut again support was forth

ACE ] PHOENIX
 MEN KILL MEX.

PHOENIX, AriZ., Dec. "A drama tic touch was given to a coroner's in quest today when J. w. Shelton, aged 5S, testified that his elderly partner, Ira J. Richards, 70 years oI age, mad shot Ustacio Espinosa on the river bottom homestead of Richards and near the cabin where the men lived, ten miles southwest of Phoenix, yes terday. Espinosa and his brother-in- law, named Seperano, were cutting wood on the Richards homestead af ter having been warned off the prem ises, it was said.
 As result of Shelton's testimony, he and Richards were held in the sheriff's custody to await arraign- ment proceedings probably tomor- row. Sheriff Montgomery said Rich ards had admitted to him that he had fired twice at Espinosa, but that Shelton also fired once.
 Shelton said that on Sunday he and Richards ordered the Mexicans off the place and were threatened with axes and stones. Monday, he said, they heard the Mexicans again chop ping and that he took a shotgun and Richards rifle to scare them away. They penetrated the thicket until they could see the Mexicans, he said, and Richards fired once, but not at the Mexicans. Shelton said Espinosa and Seperano then charged towards them and at 75 feet Richards fired a second time wild shot like the first. As the Mexicans did not halt, Shelton said, Richards fired third time and said, T got him. as Espinosa fell Shelton testified he and Richards buried their weapons and disclaimed knowledge of the shooting, fearing an uprising of Mexicans in the vicinity.

PANDOLFO SAYS
 CO. SLANDERED

CHICAGO, Dec, 2.-The Pan Motor company of St. Cloud, Minn., has been subject to the attacks of it's enemies ever since it was organized, $. c. Pandolfo, president and organizer, testified today when he resumed the stand in his own behalf in the trial of 13 corporation officials accused of abuse of the mails in stock selling operations.
 "Unfriendly eyes were turned to- ward us," he said land we were ham, pered in many ways by the activities of our enemies"
 He also told the jury that trans action of May, 1918, whereby he was to receive 100000 shares of Pan stock for half the selling price was entered into to protect the company in case it's license to sell stock was taken away in any state.
 "I knew that could dispose of the stock personally if the license of the company was cancelled" he said, "and did this to protect the company in this."
 He told of the trip he made from Indianapolis, Ind, to St. Cloud in the first Pan car, which the need and Glazer engineering firm of the former city built for him. The car broke down several times, he testified, but in all cases because of careless and faulty construction work
 ''I felt that I had been buncoed, or to put it mildly, robbed" he stated.
 It is expected the cross examination of Pandolfo will begin early tomor- row

posse was sent Saturday night from Cheyenne by special train.
 In the meantime, Sheriff Roach had organized another posse and took a train to Dwyer. There the posse ob- tained teams and drove through a bitter blizzard to the ranch of Bob Fletcher, at the head of Fish creek. on the south side of Laramie peak.
 The snow was so deep it was i'm possible to go further with teams and the posse proceeded Sunday morning on horseback to the top of the peak. The remainder of the pursuit was made on foot, the horses being un- able to blow through the huge drifts
 The posse learned that Carlisle had eaten Thanksgiving dinner at the ranch of William Hill. From almost every rancher the posse obtained further information. He had dined at the home of one rancher one day. an- other the next Yesterday morning he was at Jim Shaw's ranch on Horse shoe creek. He had dinner and SUD- per at Frank Days. near Esterbrook park and was traced to that place

 Men, Dies Suddenly

Prick for the past month had shown symptoms of an organic af- lection of the heart, which presuma- bly, was the late result of the severe attacks of inflammatory rheumatism to which he was subject in earlier life"
 Dr. Connor added that MT. Prick died Gin the midst of what seemed to be satisfactory improvement in his condition.H
 The sudden passing of MT. Prick shocked Wall street. although it had no appreciable effect on stock values. Until the last Mr. Prick retained his interest in business.

Government Convinced Strik- ing Coal Miners Violating Injunction, and Will h.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. D. Convinced that efforts to bring about a resumption of operation of coal mines through offers of 14 per cent wage advance to miners have failed and that the injunction issued by United States District Judge Ander- son against the strike has been yio- lated. the government has concluded to institute contempt proceedings at once, it was indicated tonight.
 Federal agents would make no statements as to when court action might be expected. but it is known that evidence has been collected against alleged violators of the in- it was confidently expected that ar rests would be made within AS hours
 It is understood that the govern ment has delayed taking action in the hope that some other way out of the fuel difficulty would be found.
 The injunction, as explained by Judge Anderson, extends to individ- ual miners. operators or other per sons who in any way encourage the strike or interfere with production of coal. Government attorneys, it is said, interpret this to mean that any agreement between two or more men to continue on strike, constitute a violation of the injunction.
