the scene of the murder.
De Carlo, a Siclian who runs dairy

held in the county jail, but later released
after an examination by the investigators.
The two children of De Carlo, who were
in custody of the juvenile court, were also

weeks. Both denied any knowledge OF
the killing, neither even knowing Echois.
A pair of muddy shoes about the size OF

operation between the grower and
spinner.
Foreign spinners objected to the con-
demnation of the sale of cotton on CALL
declaring it was necessary that they
should be allowed to purchase their cot
ton in their way. The ginners' group OBJ
jected to the gin compression recommen-
lflation, because gambling was not de-
fined. The bankers group voted against
the feature of the recommendation, ex-
planning that the futures market was a
necessary part of the cotton industry and
that dealing in cotton futures had often
been classed as gambling.
Points Approved
The recommendations Of the growers
committee, which were unanimously APP
proved after a suspension Of the rules,
follows:
Diversifcation of crops urged.
| Country damage recognized as an in
excusable economic loss. u.
/ Storage warehouses urged.
Twelve-month marketing system for
| farmers recommended.
Formation of the American export
financing corporation Endorsed.
| Tagging of each bale with the name and
address of grower urged.
! Opposed price-fixing by the govern
n.ent.
| Opposing embargo and restrictions on
cotton in times of peace.
| Demanding price for cotton covering
cost of production and allowing a fair
[ profit.
/ 1t was after an agreement was reached
to suspend the rules that number OF
British delegates left the hall.
| The report that the delegates from
England had "boted" the conference was
circulated among the delegates, but was
| later disproved when DR.. John A. Todd
of London explained that only about
six of the SO delegates had left the hall
| and that they went out to confer on a
matter pertaining to resolution.
| A recommendation by the growers thai
all revenue taxes be removed from cottor
| seed oil products and markets enlarged
| was rejected by the conference. an ad
verse vote having been recorded by the
| textile manufacturers who announced
they feared cotton would be raised more
for seed than staple under conditions

FIRST APPLAUSE HEARD
The first applause heard in the in

greeted the declaration today OF Frank
Morrison. acting chairman OF the labor
delegation, that "the fact that conspira-
tors aiming at the ruin of trade union

in a programme placed before this con-
ference is evidence of their blindness
to the spirit today animating the mas
ses OF America, blindness of pride
that goes before fall, blindness to the
determination of public opinion that
the autocrat, the multi-millionaire the
communicating of Americans through
foreign colonization in industrial cen
tiers, shall meet his just doom of ex-
tinction.''

posed by the capital group to the in

JEWS MOURN DEATH
OF LOUIS LOWENTHAL
South Street Man Lived Simple
Life and Gave Money to
Zionist Cause

Many jews here speak with sorrow
today of the death of Louis Lowenthal,
who had a small millinery business at
1880 South street. For he was a
"rochman "a man with notably
kind and mcrciful spirt--and was
widely esteemed, although a quiet. re
tiring man throughout the thirty five
years he had spent in Philadelphia.
Lowenthsl was sixty years old and
came to America from Kovnow, Russia.
He did not aspire to wealth and did
not grow rich, but he won a firm place
in the affection of those who knew him,
especially those who profted by his ad-
vice or help.
While he was satisfied with his lot in
America and wanted his children always
to be Americans, he took great inter
est in the Zionist movement and even
purchased land in Palestine.
On his dcathhed, he had his wife and
