HOBBY SENDS AGENTS
 TO CAPTURE OUTLAWS
fPy Tp;4aJ proe,N

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 12-Gov- ernor Hobby today took a hand in tracing down terrorists who have burned cotton gins and congresses by wholesale. He sent department of justice agents to Cameron to inves- tigate the firing of cotton warehouses, which resulted in the loss of $1,000,- 900. Five thousand bales went up in smoke in this fire.
 Agents of Governor Hobby will seek to determine whether the fire was of incendiary origin, and if it was, to bring the guilty to punishment Other cases are being probed by the depart ment, which holds that the destruc- tion is the work of large organi- zation of night riders. Gins burned were first posted with warnings against operations. Two gins were lost Monday.

WILL FILE WAFER
 PETITIONS OCT. 20

A final roundup to secure sigma lures to the petitions for the recon struction of the local waterworks system is now under way, and in or der to allow the canvassers more time, the city council after it's meeting to- night will adjourn until Wednesday, October 20, when it will meet for the purpose of receiving the petitions, Mayor Cole said today.
 The attention of the canvassers is directed now to new owners of Con- way real estate. Hundreds of pieces of porperty have changed hands since the latest real estate assessment was made, and the names of the new own CTS do not yet appear on the ta books. Local abstract and real estate firms, however, haves furnished many names and list of these is being made up today. They will be called upon with in the next few days and requested to sign the petitions.
 The breakdown of the pumping out fit, leaving the city without water for two days, has emphasized the need of new system and it is believed the accident will make the work of se- curing signatures less difficult.

WAFER SERVICE IS
 FINALLY RESUMED

After being idle for A hours on ac- count of a breakdown, the pumps at the Waterworks station at Gleason were started again at o'clock last night and by 9 o'clock water began to appear in the hydrants for the first time since Sunday morning. Normal pressure, however, was not attained until this morning.
 Supt E. V. Leverett and Assistant Supt. NJ. c. Turner, who with a crew of men had been working without in- remission since the breakdown first occurred, came home and got their first nights sleep last night since Friday night. MT. Leverett said to- day that within two or three days a gasoline engine for emergency use as power at the pumping station will be ready for operation and he does not anticipate any further interruptions in service in the near future.
 The situation of Sunday and Mon day could not have occurred, he said even with the present antiquated ma. chinery, if settling basin from whicf to draw water had been avavilable, as there would have been no difficulty in priming and starting the pumps after a breakdown.

COTTON TO NEW
 LOW LEVEL HERE

Continuing it's descent to new low levels for three years, cotton on the Conway market broke under the 20- cent mark for the first time today, when a few bales of rather off-grade were sold at 19 1-2 cents. Most of the sales, however, were made at 20 to 20 1-2 cents, today's prices averaging fully cent pound lower than yes terday's.
 The New York and New Orleans markets were closed today in obser- vance of Columbus day, but local buy CTS attribute the drop here to an ab- solute lack of demand for actual cot ton at anything like the prices pre- railing at Conway recently. One Con- way firm sent representative to Little Rock yesterday in an effort to se.,i list of cotton, but he was un- able to get bid of even 20 cents for the list, which included some of the best cotton marketed here this year.
 Although prices on the Conway market have been declining rapidly, they are said to be higher than those prevailing in surrounding towns, and many bales of cotton from Van Buren and White counties have been brought to this market in the past few days

SAYS WHEAT ALREADY
 BRINGS GOOD PRICE
(By nited Press)

Washington, Oct 12. = Arguing against a price of $3 per bushel for wheat, as asked by farmers of the middle west, the department of agri- culture announced today that from figures in it's possession, the granting of this price would mean $318,O00,000 for the 1920 wheat crop, and would send the price of bread to an unheard of figure. It was further declared by department officials that Amer ican consumers already have paid wheat farmers $813,000,000 for their product this year, despite the fact that producers are still holding 445,- 00O,O0O bushels for better prices.

 Cleveland, Oct. 12-With Stan Coveleskie pitching scoreless ball, the Cleveland Indians easily defeated Brooklyn today, 8 to O. and annexed the title of world champions. Grimes, the most effective of the Brooklyn pitchers, was selected by Manager Robinson to lead the Dodgers in their last desperate hope to stop the smash ing Indians. He was touched freely by Speakers men, and finally gave way to Mamaux, whose pitching has been a disappointment.
 Coveleskie went the full route for Cleveland and showed little effects of the two games he already has pitched and won in the present series. Brook lyn got only five hits from his offer ings.
 The score: h e Cleveland -----00011 0x-3 2 8 Brooklyn ---0 000000-0 5 2 Batteries: Coveleskie and O'Neil; Grimes, Mamaux, Krueger and Miller.

at $50.
"Your argument rings true ruled

of the depreciation in the purchasing
value of the dollar, SO that in the mat

R. R. MEN WILL QUIT IF
STRIKE CLAUSE REMAINS
Meeting Called by Brotherhoods to
Consider Proposed Leaislation-Ma-
chinists Announce Stand

Washington, Dec. 81. = Organized
railway machinists, through their pres
ident, served notice on congress yes
terday that they would not submit to
enactment of the Cummins railway bill
with its drastic anti-strike provision.
Voting more than month ago, SO
per cent of the 125,000 members of the
union favored an immediate walkout
in event of the bills passage by both
houses of congress, but the result was
not made known through fear that the
brotherhoods might appear in the light
of attempting to coerce the law-mak-
ing branch of the government.
The machinists, according to Will
liam H. Johnson, president of the in
ternational association, are the only
railway employees who have taken a
strike vote, but the heads of all the
IA brotherhoods have been summoned
to meet here Monday to consider pend
ing railway legislation and define pre-
cisely their position on the clause in
the Cummins bill which would prevent
strikes and put strikers in Jail.
The call for the conference was is
sued by Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, but
Mr. Gompers and other leaders refused
to discuss any probable action. Presi-
dent Wilson's Christmas eve an
that the roads would be
handed back to their owners March l
was a distinct disappointment to labor
leaders, who had been pleading for a
two-year extension of government CON
troll. They agreed however, that if
the roads were to go back it was a
good thing to let it be known.

The anti-strike section is known to |

While it was left intact in the bill

rankly expressed doubt yesterday
whether the house would accept it.
