COTTON GINNING
MAY BE- HALTED

New Orleans, Oct. 21.-A move---
ment was inaugurated here today in
volving the closing Of every cotton
gin in the. South for period Of 80
days, beginning November 1, as a
means to revive confidence in the
demoralized cotton market. 5'
w. B. Thompson, president of the
Louisiana division of the American
Cotton association, has forwarded
Recommendations to the president of
the association to begin the work of
organizing the cotton men at once
with this purpose in view. This
move on the part of Mr.. Thompson
is in accordance with the plan set
forth by the officials of the Louisiana
Ginners' association and ohtre prom
inent ginners of the state.
; In the event that the movement
proves successful, it = is estimated
that $4,000 gins throughout the
South will be affected and would
make it impossible for the cotton
planters to market their crop be-
fore December l. The promoters of
the movement express their belief
that if all the cotton gihners will
enter into the agreement to close
down for 80 days cotton will reach
80 cents a pound by the end Of that
period. '
I. It is stated that the ginners of
Louisiana will proceed at once with
the organization and that practically
all the gin operators in this state
will adopt the proposed plan, ire
spective Of whether the other states
JOIN them or not. The Texas division
of the cotton association has been
asked to cooperate with the move
ment.

CHIEF JUSTICE GARY
" HAS PNEUMONIA ATTACK

The friends of Chief Justice Eu-
gene B. Gary are greatly concerned
about his condition. The physicians
in charge Of the patient have dag
nosed his case as one Of pneumonia.
AS yet only one lung is involved,
but his temperature has been ex-
,trendely high and on account Of the
fact that he; is now about sixty-fiye
years of age and a man Of frail
physique II is recognized that he lis
a very i'll man. *
: The Chief Justice u went down 10
Columbia at the beginning of last
week, and; was engaged in the work
of the court until Thursday, when
on advice of a physician he returned
to Abbeville. When he arrived home
he thought he would be better in a
few days, but the cold he had con-
tracted did not yield to the usual
simple remedies and in a few days
he was confined to his room. Ss !. Z
Last night his condition was
thought to be somewhat better and

Haiti will have been ''lost''' unless

Gently sent to Haiti at the request
of the state department to study
conditions declared in a statement
made public here tonight.
Replying to letter from Charles
Mckinley of Portland, Ore, forward
ed by Secretary Daniels and asking,
among other questions when :: the
United States would withdraw from
Haiti, Admiral Knapp's statement
said:
'I can not answer this for, the ad-
minisration but, in my personal view
the work of the American interven-
ton will have been practically lost II
the United States withdraws its mill
tary force fos great many years
to come. ~ = 8;
81 am not hopeful that the old idea
of graft, or public Office as means
cf private gain can ever be exter-
minated from those who have reach
ed manhood under the old corrupt
standards. 1 personally believe it
will take at least a generation to de-
velop in Haiti, sufficient men Of o
high enough standard of ethics to
provide personnel for an honest adj
ministration and back ground of
honest population for it's support"
|" Replying to questions regarding
treatment of natives by the 'Ameri,
cans Admiral Knapp denied that wo-
men and children had been killed or
that "srtangeation, flogging,' or
other cruel practices had been used
to extract information from natives.
A 'full answer" could not be given
TO the. latter question, however, until
certain allegations had been investi-
gated, he added. -. ..ri =
