NETS THE GROWER
TWENTY FIVE CENTS
First Report on Cotton Shipped
TO Europe Under "TOli
Plan-GTOWerS Surprised
.Gentlenlen:

Gentlemen:
You will recall that the first ship
ment of cotton made to central Eu-
rope under the "toll plan" was shipped
from Mississippi. This shipment con-
sisted OF 5000 bales of very low guide
cotton, which at the time was not
salable at anX price, but which had
an estimated value of about five cents
per pound. This cotton has now COM
pleted the cycle and the owners
(growers) have their returns.
/ am just in receipt of telegram
from Mr.. w. d. Nesbitt. president of
the Warrant Warehouse Company,
Birmingham. Ala, which reads as fol-
"Birmingham, Ala. Oct. 20, 1921.

To my mind, this is one of the most
important kilograms that ever reach
ed Southern Calif0Ania4 Just why
the growers and the bankers in the
cotton growing valleys have not sen'

grown cotton 60 forward under this
plan is beyond my comprehension. II
is fair to presume that had we snip
ped California cotton at the same
time as l urged the growers to do, II
would have netted for short cottor
75c to 81 per pound, with much
higher rate for Pima.
l am sending this to you feeling
that the growers should know the
possibilities of the cotton producing

take advantage of the advantages of

Trial of Arthur Burch Set
FOR NOVEMBER |: WO-
man to be Tried at Close
of Burch Case
(By Associated Press)

Los ANGELES, Oct. 25.-Trlal OF
Arthur Burch on the charge of the
murder Of ]. Belton Kennedy was set
for November l in the Superior Court
here yesterday. District Attorney
Thomas Lee Woolwine made no OBJ
lection to a motion for separate trials
of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain and
Arthur Burch and elected to proceed
first with the trial of Burch.
Woolwine late yesterday offered
vigorous and unqualified" objection
to the court granting privilege to
Charles Erbstein of Chicago, of ap-
pearing as attorney for Mrs. NADIA
lynne Oberchain. charged with the
murder of J. Belton Kennedy.
~ believe him to be a person Who'll
ly unfit to practice law at this bar
District Attorney Woolwine declared.
Objects Strenuous!y
District Attorney Woolwine de-
clared: "His reputation in Chicago is
of the very worst, being that of a
trickster, jury-fixer and suborner
of perjury"
This was part of a 700 word pre-
pared statement, which District At
torney Woolwine read and had placed
in the court record as objection to a
motion that ErbStein he permitted to
appear in behalf of Mrs. Oberchain.
This occurred when the court called
the case to hear final arguments on
a motion that separate trials be grant
ed Mrs. Oberchain and Arthur Burch.
who are jointly charged with the muir
der of Kennedy.
A telegram from Maclay Hoyne.
former states attorney of Cook coun-
ty, Illinois, was read by Woolwine as
an answer to a query bv Woolwine
concerning Hovne's krsG'ledge of Erb-
stein. Hovne's telegram, as read
into the coutr record: was as follows
"a witty, unconscionable crook. A
fiXer and suborner of perjury indict-
ed twice and acquitted both times. A
reckless gambler. Will write you
fully"
Judge Passes Buck
Judge Reeve, without comment. re-
ferred District Attorney Woolwine's
objection against Erbstein's admis-
sion to practice in California courts
to the Los Angeles Bar Associatin.
Erbstein was heard by the curt in
answer TO the charges. Voicing a pro-
test that these charges were made af-
ter he had come from Chicago, he re-
ferred. to the charge of "trickster,' .
and said that he believs1 this charge
might be applied to the prosecutor.
"Hoyne is my bitterest enemy" he
said. "If l were not sick man.
would take care of Mr. Woolwine."
Later, in defense against the
charges, Erbstein declared that thc
charges were entirely unexpected.
"All these charges against me were
made and disproved in Chicago" he
said, "and every Judge in the courts
of Chicago will vouch for me and my
character. court hearing before
the Bar Association and am convinced
that body of gentlemen will vindicat(
