CYST GIVES COTTON FIGURES ON CROP
 NOW CARRIED OVER
By FRED IT. GORMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age Herald 22i-2 First National Bank BuildinE

Montgomery, July 21.-(Special.)- Americas carryover cotton crop on July 31 probably will be 6,4o4,4Ss bales according to an estimate made today by C. F. Gist, federal and state agricultural statistician, based on al. analysis of the monthly report of the census bureau on the consumption and export of cotton for June. The report showed that the total supply for the year, including the carry over of last year, the crop or lasl year and the imports, was l6.9S3,oTO
 This report also showed that the total consumed in America from Au- gust l, 1920, to June 30, 1921. was 4,417.73, the total exported 5,149,f56, a total used of s,627,229, leaving on hand June 30 7,S56,34l. He figured that the total cotton to be consumed during July will be 950.S56 bales. the same as for June. leaving 6,4O4, 4So bales of actual cotton and not in- cluding linters, which will be held at the end of July.
 Of the 7.356.341 bales on hand June 30, 5.510,S0S were in consuming es- establishments and public storage so- called in sight, said Mir. Gist. The remainder, 1,s45,5S3 bales, were pre- sumably held on the farms The amount of cotton held on farms on August l last, was reported as 1o0, 900 bales. The present farm holdings are perhaps the largest in the his tory of cotton production at this time of year, and are equal to the average total carryover of former normal years.
 intaraQtin0 a this year of less than seven million bales will when added to the prob able carryover. equal the crop of last year. Unless the consumption and exports are increased next seasor such supply would still leave more than the former normal carryover of 1 6l0 aAQ hales l. al in Qoo

It makes & growth In from 90 to 100 days of about two to three tons to the acre, When this growth Is plowed under it is worth as much as 15 tons of manure to the acre.
 The demand from seed houses and farmers in the corn belt is Tar be- yond the supply. Many orders were taken today for seed at $12a per bushel. One crop which has been threshed out at this price netted its owner ssso per acre.

INDICTED WHITE SOX PLANNED 1919 DEAL THEMSELVES
Eddie Cicotte Approached Him With Proposition,
 Says Chief Witness
WILLIAM BURNS.
By Associated Prcss

Chicago, July 2.--ChIcaso w hlte Sox players, accused of conspiring to throw the 1919 world series, were not approached on the deal by gam blers or corrupted by gambling clique, but formulated the conspiracy themselves and went to New York CTS and former baseball players for financial backing, Bill Burns, ad
 mtted aecomplice and states wit ness. testified today in the trial of seven of the players and four others who are under indictment in the case.
 Eddie Cicotte of DetroitA former White Sox pitcher, once rated among the best in the American league, made the sell-out proposition to Burns and Gandil, and Cicotte then volunteered the information that they could have the series thrown for s100,O0o, Burns testified.
 Players Made Plan
 Burns testimony to this effect was admitted late today after Judge Friend three times had barred 1t temporarily while the attorneys could look up supreme court rulings on the question. It was looked upon by the state as among the most important part of the witness testimony, and it was designed to do away with the belief that the players were cor rupted by millionaire gamblers and to show that the alleged conspiracy had it's inception in New York.
 The testimony was given in re- lating details of conversations be- tween Burns, Abe Attell, Hal Chase, ACicotte, Gandil and Bennett, iden- ktified by Burns as David zelser of Des SMoines, la, defendant. These conversations were said by the wit
 ness to have taken place at the Ansonia hotel in September, 1919, and were contended by the defense to be inadr1isslble. on the ground that they | took place prior to the inception of the conspiracy.
 Having placed before the jury it's contention that the alleged con- spiracy had it's inception in New York and it's birth in Cincinnati. the state tomorrow plans to bring t to Chicago. John Seys, secretary of the Chicago National League club, IS eX- pected to be the first witness and 1t IS uuQeTSlcOu VIII ttStlly lo ASS ing bets paid to Abe Attell. Burns may be recalled later by the defense for further examination.
 Burns Testimony Deadly
 The states chief witness, in base ball terms. today hurled excellent ball, permitting the defense few hits in the gruelling cross examination. He was forced to change his original testimony as to idate of meeting with Bennett and occasionally got twisted on street numbers and such details At no time did he become ruffled under the fire of the de- fense, and the smile never left his face. He joked with his questioners, questioned them at times and match ed his wit against theirs in re- partee.
 The chief loop-holes found in Burns testimony by the defense were
 when he was forced to admit that
 he had not talked with the players the night of the first game in Cin- cinnati, whereas he previously testi- 1 fled he met them that night, and when he corrected his first testimony that he met Bennett in New York the day before the first game to read two days before the first game

Betty Compson as Blanche Davis in Prisoners of Love" at the Trianon this week, enacts a role that is notably dramatic. The girl thrown by her own choice into the world alone is called on to endure a most unusual trial
 Are all men alike? Just what part does protection play in the life of a girl? are the two most vital ques- tions propounded. That many men do not villainously take advantage of an unprotected girl. but them- selves find a girls protection an aid in living out their better instincts toward her seems to be the author idea. queer twist of fate in tht early part of the story has given the situation great significance to tho spectator.
