Japanese Expect to
Use 100000 Bales
Of Cotton This Year

Galveston, Sept. 27.-(Special.) y
Japan will use 100000 bales OF
American cotton this year and ORR
entail shippers will route as much OF
this as possible through the port OF
Galveston. according to K. Fujita,
president of the Texas Gosho COM
pany, who was here recently in COM
pany with H. Kita, director of the
parent company in Japan.
Difficulty in making financial ar
engagements for Indian and Chinese
cotton increases the amount OF the
staple which Japan must secure from
America, Mr.. Fujita said.
laps Make Complaint.
Japanese shippers are dissatisfied
with the manner in which cotton is
handled through the Pacific coast
ports according to Mr.. Fujita, espe-
cially through delays in booking and
lack Of facilities. Last year, he said,
the Gosho company routed 1000
bales through Galveston and was
we'll satisfied with the promptness
and facility with which the ship
ments were dispatched.
"The United States shipping
board said Mr.. Fujita, is willing
to furnish bottoms for cotton to the
orient, and probably will do so. but
shippers are unable to do business
with the board while it asks rate of
81 on high density cotton from Gal
weston. / believe some of the ship
ping to Japan during this season
will be carried in British bottoms.
In addition, Japanese shipping COM
panieS are planning to put three&r
four steamers into the Galveston
service.
"In the past years, Japan normally
used about 100000 bales of Amer
lean cotton annually. Last year the
quantity was increased to 100000
bales and this year, 1 believe, will
reach 100000. The Chinese and In
dian cotton is inferior to the Amer
lean staple and Japanese mills are
demanding not only better, but
longer, grade of cotton"
The Gosho company has just in
stalled compress and concentration
plant at Galveston.

house and was fined SIS by Judge
Fitzgerald.
Kelly. who, in a signed statement
published exclusively in The Bee
several months ago, admitted he
had been a party to a conspiracy
with Detectives Herdzina and Arm
strong in an illegal raid on the
Brown apartments last June, sur
rendered voluntarily, it is alleged,
to the police Wednesday.
When arraigned in police court
after talking to Chief Ebersteh at
the city hall, Kelly admitted guilt,
declaring he had been prompted to
do so by the anxiety of his mother,
who feared her son would be in
jured at the hands of the police. For
some reason Judge Fitzgerald did
not impose fine until yesterday
morning.
Whispered to Judge.
Kelly appeared before the court
accompanied by his brother, Tom
Kelly. He was not even represented
by an attorney. Kelly and his broth
er whispered to the judge and in a
few seconds they were in the clerks

Was Immunity Promised?
Neither Commissioner Ringer nor
Chief Eberstein has confirmed OF
denied the rumor that members oil
the police department promised
Kelly to obtain him pardon in con-
sideration of his repudiating the
statement confessing the part he
played with the. policemen in the
Brown raid.
1t has been said that Mrs. Brown
was contemplating bringing suit
against Chief Eberstein for his re-
sponsibility in the raid.
Kelly's friends. however, believe
that he was induced solely by the
solicitude of his mother to surren-
der to the police. =
There always has been doubt in
the minds of many as to the SINGER
ity of Commissioner Ringer and
Chief Eberstein in ordering Kelly's
arrest. 1t is known positively that
many members of the police depart
ment deliberately refused to arrest
Kelly when they saw him time and
againgon the streets.

TUCSON. Ariz., July 12- What is believed to be the first clcw to the re- puted buried trcasurers of the padres of the TumacacoIia Mission. built by Spanish JesuitS high up in the Tuna cacOr mountains. less than three hours journey from Tucson, has been discovered by Frank Pinklcy. custod- ian of the ruins. It is the gateway 70 the mission cemetery. From this ga,o- way, it is said, the plans and maps left by the padres start outline the way to the buried gold and silver.
 The Tumacacori Mission was bui,. near what are believed to be the ruins of one of the Seven Cities of Cibola Scattered over the long, red mesa sur- rounding the mountains are large numbers of hieroglyphic boulderS, which say the modern Indians. Aztec placed there. to mark the hiding place of another great treasure hidden jn the neighborhood. This is said to cor ,ist of 2O50 buro loads of white silver and 905 burro loads of gold and silver
 The entire region is said to show evidence of rich mineral deposits which, declare those who have inspect. ad the mountains, doubtless led the padres to build their missions.
 On the sides of the mountain lie the ruins of many dwellings, while on the ton, carved from solid rock, is the Aztec god standing guard over the silent city.
 Nearby, on a large flat rock, are the stone basins that held the bleeding hearts of the victims sacrificed to aN. peaSc the wrath of the stone image. Hundreds of these sacrifices are said 70 have been made each year.
 There are five of these ancient viii ages in the vicinity of Tucson and TWO immediately across the Mexican border in Sonora. Some say they arc 70 seven cities referred to by the con miStador, Cabeza de Vaca.
 A newly city, that of Tubac, mean ng Ruined House stands near the mission but little is known of the life there.
 Ten acres of land on which the Tumcacori mission was located have been deeded to the United States gov 'rnment and the plot now is known as the Tumacorci national monument. r. IS under the direction of Frank Pink ley, who also SuperviseS the mysSe- 'ous Casa Grande ruins near Florence

BATHING GIRLS
 GIVE THE BOYS
 A GREAT TREAT

PHOENIX. Ariz., July l2- The frs, bathing girl parade ever held m what formerly was ca,,vs, greasewood covered desert was what Phoenix Wit messed today.
 Atlantic City on the eastern coast never have exhibited more striking colorful bathing costumes than those which passed in review here. This, at least was the opinion of those who came from every corner of the Salt river valley to sec the parade, whi"H marked the re-Opening of one of the city parks.
 Giant cacti. SentinelS Of the out skirts of the descrt that Gefied every colonizing effort of man until the Roosevelt dam poured the water or agriculture life into this valley, stood out in primeSal contrast to the shim- mering silks of beach costumes but might well have graced Newport water fete.
 Desert proSpectorS, whose acQuaint- ance with water for years has been limited almost to what they carried in their canteens, gaped in amazemen. as the array of abbreviated styles went up. borne by the handsomcst automobiles the city and valley could muster.
 Cowboys from some of the great ranches of the southwest, leather chaps Tapping. spurs clanking and broad SombreroS shading their wond- ering eyes, stood here and there along the route of the procession in sort ot stunned awe.
 But the prospectorS and the cow boys were tho exceptions in that crowd. The great percentage of It, from the young women in the beach costumes who formed the main at traction. to the thousands who turned out to view the spectacle, belonged to the new order, modern, metropoli- tan.
 It was just one more piece of cv'- dence that Phoenix and Arizona have outgrown the era of the spur and the gun. The proSpector, the cowboy and the burro have given place to the banker, the big businessmen, the au- tomobile- and the bathing girl.
