OFFICERS ON TRAIL OF BOMB MAKERS
"Gimbel'' Bombs Mailed to Prominent Men Were Made in Gary-RepOrt of Plot Against
 Military Cantonments Denied

Chicago, Oct. Military authori- ties today continued their investiga- tion into alleged radical activities in connection with the strike of steel workers at Gary, Indiana, and ques- toned several men, including Anton Gorski, who is said to be under sur- veillance in connection with the ex- plosion of bomb in the Chicago post office in September, 1918.
 Reports of discovery of a wide spread plot against military canton ments were denied tonight by Col. w. s. Mapes, commanding the federal troops at Gary. Reports that troops were being sent from the Gary dis rtict to protect government property in various parts of the country were also denied by Col. Mapes.
 Major Gen. Leonard Wood, com handing the central department of the United States army, was in con ference with Colonel w. S. Mapes, commander of the troops at Gary, to- day. Drastic measures to combat the "red'' plots are said to have been ar ranged gy the military leaders.
 Colonel Mapes announced tonight that no confession had been obtained from Gorski, in regard to the Chicago federal building bomb plot but it was intimated that Gorski would be fed eral witness.
 The federal officers are now search ing for Alexander Ivanoff, Gary steel worker and electrician, who is said to have been implicated by Gorski as a maker of the thirty six bombs which were sent to prominent men through out the country in forged wrappings of Gimbel Brothers store in New York.
 Intelligence officers continued the raids at Gary today in search of radi- cal literature. They reported finding quantity of radical propaganda printed in German, and a large Ger man flag made of silk.
 How many men besides the alleged bomb maker are connected with the nationwide plots has not been re- vealed by the federal authorities, civil or military.

 The Rev. Dr. Hammond of Little Rock, will assist the pastor, Rev. J. A. Parker during the meeting.
 While much depends upon the labor of the preachers and singers, let us not be unmindful of the fact that much als odepends upon the members of the church if we reach any marked degree of success.
 May we all seriously consider this responsibility and be ready to make a few sacrifices if necessary that we may be prepared for efficient service; and let us show by our regular at tendance upon the service that we are really interested in the spiritual well fare of the people of our community.

TO THE FARMERS

Owing to the excessive amount of rain and no prospects of better wea- ther, we think it to the best interest of the farmers as well as ourselves, to close down our gins the remainder of this week, anyway, and perhaps longer if weather conditions do not improve.
 Furthermore we would like to im- press upon the farmers not to try and pick tehir cotton too soon after the weather clears up, but to let the sun and air have time to thoroughly dry out the cotton which will aid in bleach ing and improving the sample which is likely to be very bad after so much rain; and above all, do not bring your cotto fito the gins wet as it is q great loss to you in weight and also in grade of your cotton.

BIG SUNDAY SCHOOL
 RALLY AT FAYETTEVILLE

Little Rock, Oct. 14.-Gov. Brough returned yesterday afternoon from Blytheville where he delivered an ad- dress to an immense audience com posed of representatives of nine churches, assembled in Sunday school rally. The purpose of the rally was to enlist every child in the city in the Sunday schools of the various churches. At the present time 20 per cent of the adult population and 49 per cent of the children are enrolled.
 The governor says that the pastors of the churches were successful in greatly increasing the enrolment.
 In his address the governor took occasion to reiterate his position against all forms of lawlessness, mob violence an drace disturbance. He gave assurance that all law-abiding negroes would be protected so long as he is governor, and that those who may be responsible for race insurrec- tions and the cultivation of race hatred will be severely dealt with according to law.
 The governor announced that he proposes to take up with the post master general the question of sup pressing and denying the use of the mails to such incendiary negro pub lications as ",The Defender" published in Chicago, and "The Crisis" pub lished in New York, and similar or gans designed to infame the ne- groes.
 The last issue of "The Defender" said the governor, had a very erron- eously colored and basely false ac-. count of the race riot at Elaine, en- deavoring, through it's columns, to leave the impression that the white people of Phillips county were respon- sible for the riot. The governor will secure several copies of these incen- diary organs and forward them to the postmaster general, with the recom- mendation that they be suppressed.
 Gov. Brough says that conditions in Eastern Arkanssa, with reference to race disturbances have entirely quiet led down and the negroes have re- sumed work. No outbreaks are feared in Mississippi county.

COTTON DAMAGE | CAUSE SQUABBLE
Growers and Buyers Point to One Another-Everybody to Blame, Says Governor Bickett
 Country Loss is Large.

New Orleans, Oct. 14--General fix
 ling of the blame for damage to cotton
 and the necessity of better warehous- ling for the product from the farmer
 Ito the consumer were topics brought
 out emphatically on the second day
 of the world cotton conference here
 with spirited debate at times de- |veloping between the growers and the
 Buyers.
 Governor Bickett, of North Caro- [lina, said everybody was to blame for
 the damage and denounced the leav- ling of cotton in the rain as "a deliber-
 ate economic crime"
 w. G. Turner of Little Rock, scored
 the railroads for damage to cotton in |transit.
 Following the charge from growers |that the buyers resorted to short
 weighing, a counter charge was hurl- led on the floor of growers deliberate Fly leaving baled cotton in the rain to
 absorb moisture and gain weight. Colonel w. B. Thompson of New Orleans, defended the growers and
 declared it would be impossible to in- |crease acreage unless fair price was guaranteed.
 Spinners, factors and ginners also were blamed for damage and the
 English delegation asserted that the United States bales are blunders in wrapping and compressing and cause a heavy loss in shipping. Country damage to cotton aggre- gating approximately $6O,000,O00 an nually can be prevented by ware houses on the farms, at gins, in in- terior concentration points and at ports handling cotton, it was declared. E. A. Calvin, of Houston, Texas, urged campaign throughout the cotton belt in the interest of ware
 housing, particularly on the farm. He stated that it was his opinion most of the country damage, equal to aDOut $5 bale, originated with the grower through exposure of cotton to the ele- ments without proper protection. No one ras moral right" Mir. Calvin siad, "to wilfullyS allow his cotton to be damaged. There should be legislation to compel the farmer to take care of his product. As a grower I have allowed my cotton to become damaged and should have been punished more than was, for my cotton was worth much less. "The country damage last year would have built warehouses all over the south, if it could have been pre- vented"

STEEL COMPANIES
 CLAIMING GAINS
Union Officials, However, Con-
 tinue to Dispute Break in the
 Ranks-Strike of BrickIayers
 in Some Steel Works.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 14.-More gains in men and greater production were re- ported today by steel companies in the Pittsburgh district. Several inde- pendents, affected by the strike of steel workers, now in it's fourth week started up additional departments and in other plants, especially those of the Carnegie company, workmen who had been on strike since Septem- Der 22, reported for work, according to company officials. Among the plants declared to have started up parts of their works were the A. M. Byers company and the Oliver Iron and Steel company, in the Pittsburgh district
 In the upper Monongahela valley at Donora, where the American Steel and Wire Company has a plant it was claimed large number of men re- turned.
 National headquarters of the union had no formal statement to make to- day. It was stated, however, that the strike remains unchanged so far as the union has information from the various districts. Reports of any con- siderable number of men returning to work were denied by union leaders who maintain that the strikers are standing together. Union leaders as- sert strike breakers brought here are joining the union.
 A petition presented to the Pitts burgh city council today by com mittee of local labor leaders asking for public hearing on complaints against police magistrates and offic- ials growing out of the strike, failed of adoption. There were three roll calls and each time the vote resulted in tie-4 to 4. It is expected another effort will be made to have the council grant hearing.
