NEW REPORT UPON
COTTON ADVOCATED

WASHINGTON, Oct 14--Under res

would be ordered TO issue new cotton
report next Nov, 2, showing the crop

promise Of Republican house leaders to
call II up for final action late today or
tomorrow.
Congressman from Southern states
today unanimously requested that CON
gress direct the agriculture department
to issue new cotton report Nov, q
Appearing before, the house agriculture
committee they complained that the last
report, issued almost two weeks ago,
was erroneous and would result in
Southern planters falling to receive as
high a price as warranted by this
years yield.
Unless speedy action is taken by
congress- the committee was told no
other report would be issued this year
for Secretary Houston was said to hold
the last report was as accurate as the
department could make II. and that an
other report would be Of no useful pur-
pose.
Representative Byrnes asserted the
October report failed to show abandoned
acreage with the result that an est :
mated yield Of l0,696O0 bales was too
high.
"Then, too the exact same condition
Of the crop according to the report.
produces two different results" declared
Mr. Byrnes, acting as spokesman for
the Southern delegation. Last year the
condition was reported as 54.4 per cent
with an estimated Yield of 154 pounds
an acre, and for the same date this
year the same percentage as TO cond-
tion gives an estimate OF 1853 pounds
an acre. For a total acreage Of $4,000,
600, this factor alone adds more than
100000 bales TO the estimated yield"
Explaining prices are governed by the
crop yield, Mr.. Byrnes said II the de
partment report is inaccurate 1t would
be so proved by the census bureau OF
bales ginned, which will be available
next spring.
BY that time" he declared, "cot.
ton will have left the hands Of the pro.
ducer and the benefit will not be tc
the farmer but TO the speculator".

PROTECTS
POSSIBLE JURORS
Refuses to Allow Ralph Davis
to Ask Improper
Questions.

Twenty-Five veniremen were examin-
ed Tuesday morning in the Jack Frey
case, without a juror being qualified,
although it took the first peremptory
challenge, of the defense TO keep q. p.
Manley, blacksmith, of Neshoba, from
taking a seat in the jury box. n
The first man picked on the jury
which tried and convicted Allen Nc
Namara, strangely enough, was a Me-
shoba blacksmith, named h, c. Cum
mings 1t may be that Mr. Davis,
counsel for Frey recalled that, un-
iantly to disqualfy Manley. But. 1t
availed him nothing, and he clashed
with the court, when Judge j. Ed
Richards again warned him that the
court would protect veniremen from Mr..
Davis sharp questioning of their mo-
tives. Mr.. Davis had asked Manley If
he wanted to get on the jury. This
question caused the judges rebuke.
Eleven of the veniremen examined
Tuesday morning had fixed opinions re-
lating to Ffey's guilt or innocence. Nine
were opposed to the death penalty In
criminal assault cases. Among this
number was Theodore Read, head OF
the Security bank.
One man, George c. Ruby, was ex-
cused when he told the court that he
sc metimes could not understand Mr..
Davis questions. 1t later developed
that he had been juror in the George
c. Bennett case in the circuit court
four years ago. Mr.. Davis had repre-
sented the losing side In that case,
which involved considerable money.
"Ah, yes, l quite believe the gentle
man now, when ne states that he cam

SHERIFF IS GIVEN
!. MORE MEANSFOR
QUELL|NG RIOTS
Emergency Appropriation Of
$1,000 Voted by County
Court Available II UprisingS
Are Threatened.

That the Shelby county court stands
for law and order and Ia determined
that there shall be no riots and insur-
rections In this section during the pres
ent wave OF unrest that is sweeping the
country, was clearly demonstrated at a
meeting OF that body late Monday,
when the court gave vote of conf
dence In o. II, Perry. the sheriff and
highest peace officer in the county and
at the same time authorized an emer-
gency apprC priation of $1,000 to be used
as the sheriff sees fit II the occasion

sheriff and his deputies will he ready
to cope with the trouble. with the emer-
genCy appropriation at hand, he says
It is the purpose of the sheriff to pur-
chase two Ford automobiles to be used
in cases OF emergency. to purchase the
necessary equipment, and to employ
such special deputy sheriffs as he
deems necessary to meet any emer-
gency.
Y. Lee Bartels county attorney, when
asked for an opinion on the legality
OF such an appropriation, said that In
his opinion II was Illegal, but advised
the court to do whatever 1t deemed
best under the conditions. Only one
magistrate voted against the appropria-
tion.
Sheriff Perry says he does not neces-
sarily fear any trouble, but wishes to

explains that with his limited staff OF
deputies It Is almost a mater Of Inn

Most OF the men on the regular staff
are employed in the courts. Two men
are on duty when courts are In session

.YOUNG'S LIFE TO
PAY IN PART FOR
BR|NKLEY'
Three Dollars WOFst0f Stolen
Fowls Cost Two Lives and
Halt d Dozen Wounds From
Bullets.
BY BOB AlLpEsRANp.

Lorenzo Young, negro, will die in the
electric chair for the murder Of John
q. Brfnlxley, police sergeant.
I'VE. the Jury, find the defendant
guilty on murder in the first degree"
vas the verdict the jury returned AT
Gs45 o'clock Monday evening in the
Second division of the criminal court.
THE Jurors deliberated an hour before
agreeing on verdict :,
Judge Tom Harsh read the verdict:
As he reached the words guilty OF
murder" Young. who had been looking
straight at the judge. dropped his gaze
to the floor. His chin sank forward on
his breast Nervousy, he began to-
jnterwine his fingers. And In this fposi-
tion he remained while his attorney,
Lawrence Monteverde, the public de-
fender, made the customary motion for
a new trial.
When the switch in the state peni-
tentlary at Nashville is pressed into
contact, and the fatal electric current
goes coursing through Young's body,
then 1t Is that the last chapter will
have been written in a double tragedy
which had its beginning in few stolen
chickens valued at two or three dollars
Two men will have lost their lives, while
other living men will bear to their
graves dozen scars made by bullets
all because of n few stolen chickens.
Merchant Called Police.
Young was a chicken thief. Perhaps
It was a double omen Of Ill luck that
caused him to select fateful Friday the
thirteenth of June, as the day to bring
his few stolen chickens into Memphis.
