The Falcon has been asked to state
that the American Cotton Association
will hold its next meeting in Montgom
cry, Alabama, on April Is to. l6, and to
say that all cotton growers are invited
to atsehd, as well as merchants, bank
ers and other business men of the cot
ton states. Hon. ]. P. Matthews, of

Relatives in Somerville last week had
letters from Jack E. Cooke written a
fortnight ago in which he stated that
he was to be married on March "a in
Versailles, France, to a French lady
whom he has met since he went over
seas nearly two years ago. He secured
his discharge from the army several
months ago and is employed since his
discharge with the American Embassy
in Paris, France. He does not contem.
plate returning to the United States at
present, but will continue to reside in
France.
Next Tuesday is the regular day for
the convening:of the County Court in
its quarterly Sc sion here. The docket
had not been made out complete when
a call was made at the Clerks Office
this week, but no matters out of the
ordinary are known to re up for con-
sideration. Several citizens have spoken
of the tax rate for 1920 being fixed,
but this cannot be done because the as
sessment has not yet been completed
and it is necessary to have the As
sessor's figures before the rate can be
fixed. The rate is seldom fixed in this
county until the July term.

The County Election Commissioners

in May which is the twelfth of the
month for the purpose of electing a
mayor, recorder and six aldermen to

enacted by the last legislature. There
has been but little discussion of candi-
dates. so far as The Falcon has had
any definite information, but there are
rumors of another ticket beingput into
the field against the present city official
family.

JEWELL MYSTERY
 BATTLES GOTHAM POLICE SLEUTHS

NEW YORK, June 21.-Repre- sentatives of the local police depart ment declare that the Elwell mur- der mystery is the most baffiing of any which the New York depart ment has ever undertaken to solve. Clews are almost entirely lacking and witnesses who might be able to assist in solving the mystery have disappeared from the city and can not be located.
 Elwell's housekeeper gave the au- thorities some help when she in- formed the district attorney this morning that she had removed a woman's slippers and boudoir cap from the Elwell room when she dis covered the body of Elwell. She explained that she had hidden the articles in the cellar, hoping thus to protect the woman, of whose identity she appeared to know prac- tically nothing, beyond the fact that she was about 25 years of age.
 The police have also learned that Elwell telephoned to close friend early on the morning that he met his death, but this friend cannot be located. The names of several prom inent society women are being men, toned in connection with the case, including a former princess.
 The police have decided to hold the housekeeper and Elwell's chauf- feur as material witnesses, but the examination of scores of socially prominent friends of the dead man has thus far failed to yield clew.
 Elwell was prominent clubman and whist expert, and was found dead in his apartments a week ago last Friday. He was shot to death, and the absence of a weapon of any kind in the room points clearly to murder. - ~-...: ."..a-. -.:

DOCTOR STABBED:
PATIENT IS
ABED
Mysterious Dual Trag-
edy Believed Result of
Luring Physician Into
Den for Robbery.

New York, March 25.--The bodies
of DR.. Vincent J. Campisi, wealthy
physician and patient" to whose
bedside he was hastily summoned.
were found tonight in tenement
house in BrookIyn-the physician
stabbed to death and the patient"
strangIed.
The police advanced the theory
that the physician was Iured into
the tenement for the purpose Of
robbery and that he stranged the
patient while fighting off his as
saiIants and then was stabbed by
the man who Iured him into the
trap.
The murderer apparently lost his
nerve, the police believe, and failed
to cary out the robbery, for a large
sum of money and a gold watch
were found on the physician's body.
