Hester Urges South
To Think Calmly
New Orleans Cotton Exchange Au-
thority Important State
ment.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 26.-In
statement prepared at the instance
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
directors and made public, Henry G.
Hester, secretary of the exchange and
for 30 years regarded as an inter-
national authority on matters per-
tanning to cotton marketing, declared
there is "no reason for rushing for
federal financial add and asserted
there was nothing the matter with
the south beyond an unreasoning
scare in cotton"
The statement, prepared, "for the
benefit and encouragement Of those
who are not fully informed" follows:
"The drastic decline that has oc-
Cured in cotton since the first Of Au-
gust, amounting to early $50 bale,
or about az per cent, has been mainly
due to the pressure to sell on a shrink
ing market, undermining confidence
of both sellers and consumers, ac-
centuating the fears of the former
and increasing the reluctance of the
latter until they practically abandon
ed the market except at constant
concessions which in the aggregate
probably constituted the greatest drop
that has ever taken place in the
staple in any like period. In the past
10 weeks, more than million bales
Of spot cotton have literally been
thrown overheard without rhyme or
reason. Nearly three-fourths of the
Texas ginnings to Sept rs have been
rushed to market and while other
sections have sold more sparingly, the
reported sales at three leading Texas
centers having amounted to more
than 100000 bales. Futures have
Iperforce followed spots, the pressure
having been accumulated by sales t
hedge spots.

BIG COMPANY TO
TAKEOVER WELL
TOMBIGBEE'S OIL WELL
HANDLED BY BIG
COMPANY.
DEEP TEST ASSURED
Anderson Drilling Co., Of Chica-
go, Will Push Well to Com
pletion-Agrees to Drill
Second Well.

Announcement was made yesterday
morning at meeting of the stock
holders of the Tombigbee Oil and Gas
Company to the effect that the Of
ficers Of the company had entered into
a contract with the Anderson Drilling
Company, of Chicago, to take over the
Hardy Well No. | and carry it to a
complete test.
The contract also provides that a
second we'll shall be drilled on another
part of the company's acreage, thus
insuring two complete tests of this
immediate section for oil.
The company virtually surrenders
title to two-thirds of its acreage ac-
cording to the terms Of the contract,
but it is felt that some sacrifice was
necessary to secure outside and COM
petent help in order to carry the
proposition through.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Charles Evans, vice president of
the company, and Mr.. Carey Cooke
officiated as secretary. Mr.. c. F.
Sherrod, president Of the company.
outlined the terms Of the contract
which was later read in full by Mr..
Cooke.
The contract was attacked from the
floor of the meeting by number of
stockholders as being one-sided and
entirely inadequate for the protection
of the interests of the stockholders.
1t was pointed out that the contract
which had been executed was the best
which the officers of the company had
been able to secure, and they pro-
ceeded with It's execution with the
Axiew Of giving 4hs people here fair
test at the earliest possible moment.
Under the terms Of the contract the
Anderson people are to begin opera
lions at once, and plan to install all
necessary additional machinery and
equipment. In fact, they already have
drillers on the ground and operations
will begin in the next few days, ac-
cording to statements of the officers
of the company.
Acreage retained by the Tombigbee
company is Immediately adjoining
the present drilling site and includes
some of the choice tracts throughout
the territory under lease.
1t was stated at the meeting yester-
day that thorough investigation had
been made as to the reliability and
competency of the Anderson Drilling
Company, and it is the belief of the
officers of the local company that a
fair test will be given the stockholders
and that drilling operations will be
pushed forward with all possible
haste.

.M'SWHVEY MARTYR
TO IRISH CAUSE
DIES IN ENGLISH PRISON
AFTER FASTING II
DAYS.
HAD LONG BATTLE
Gave In His Life for Irish
Freedom-Was Most Spec
tacular Fight for Prin-
ciple Ever Staged.
BY International News serriee.


4 London, Oct. 25.-Terence Mac
Swney, Sim Fein lord mayor Of
Cork, today gave up bis life for Irish
freedom. He died ii Brixton jail at
$40 o'clock, a martyr to his political
principles, after being ON a hunger
strike since August 18th. He was
unconscious when the end came.
The Rev. Father Dominic, personal
spiritual adviser to the lord mayor,
was at the bedside. Mrs. MacSwiney.
the wife, and two sisters, Mary and
Annie, who had been on constant vigil
at the Jail for weeks, were not pres
ent when MacSwiney breathed his
last.
The Rev. Father Dominic was
called into the death ward at ass
o'clock when it was observed that the
time Of dissolution was rapidly APP
preaching. He awaited the end at the
bedside, but was not allowed to tcle-
phone to Mrs. MacSwiney tlor to Ar
thur 0'Brien, president of the Irish
Self Determination League. Later
O'Brien was notified and made an
nouncement Of MacSwiney's death.
The members Of the MacSwiney
family visited the Jail between ten
and eleven o'clock and viewed the
body.
The Evening STANDARD said it UNI
derstood that the British government
would allow the body to be taken to
Ireland for burial.
The MacSwiney family appealed to
the home office for permission to al
low the body to lie in state in South
warck Cathedral. Up to noon no re-
ply had been given to this request,
but II was generally believed it would
be refused.
Throughout the entire morning
Scotland Yard continued to mass po-
lice reinforcements about the prison,
but there was no attempt at violence.
A small crowd gathered, but most of
them appeared to be there only
through curiosity. The crowns
solicitor conferred with the governor
at Brixton jail and decided that the
inquest should not be held today.
The inquest viii be conducted by
Doctor Wyatt, coroner Of Herus Hill,
in Surrey.
The police guard about the prison
was heavily increased during the
morning and strong rc-inforcements
of mounted and foot police patrolled
the streets about the jail.
The government announced at
1880 o'clock that its procedure re-
garding the disposition Of Mac
Swiney's body had been determined.
For nearly seventy-four days Mac
Swlney had refused 70 touen food.
This was the method he took to pro-
test against his arrest and the gen.
eral treatment Of Ireland by
England.
On Wednesday, October goth, the
doctors at Brixton Jail infirmary be-
gan feeding MacSwiney during inter-
walls of Inconsistencies. Small guam
titles Of beef extract and brandy
were administered. On Thursday
food was forced upon MacSwiney. On
the night of October goth, Mac
Swiney became delirious and raved in
paroxysms of delirium until his death.
He sank rapidly on Saturday, snd
