Severe Penalties For
Mail Bandits Asked

Washington, Nov. 17.-Secretary
Denbys 'shoot to kill' order to
marines forced into battle with mail
car bandits has been supplemented
by an order to Department OF JUS
tice officials throughout the country
to cooperate with the Postoffice De-
partment urging upon the courts
the most drastic sentences where
convictions are obtained for as
saults on the United States mails.
Attorney General Harry M. Daugh-

been forwarded to United States dis
trict attorneys and others in the
where it is customary
for the government to make sugges-
lions to the courts" to emphasize
the lawlessness Of the crime to the
end that Every severe sentences may
be imposed on the perpetrators"
"The courts will not deal lenient-
ly with this class of bandit in the
future" said Mr.. Daugherty yester-
day. 1.-THE crime is one for which
there can be no extenuation.

Predicts Shortage of
Cotton Next Summer

Washington, Nov. 16.-Prediction
of world shortage of cotton next
summer was made in the Senate
yesterday by Senator Smith, Demo-
crat, South Carolina, in speech
analyzing the statistics on cotton
consumption for October, made pub
lie by the census bureau. Should
the rate of consumption for the en-
suing months equal or exceed that
of October, he said, there would
not be bale of American cotton
in existence by next August 1.
In the course of his speech, Mr..
Smith digressed to discuss what he
said was failure of congressional ac-
ton intended to aid the farmers, as
serting that it command the only
hope for the agricultural interests
lay in the formation of their own
cooperative selling agencies and the
establishment of their own banks.
He added that relief legislation,
thus far, had been converted each
time into breast works behind
which the interests opposed to the
farmers entrenched themselves to de-
stroy the farmers profits"
Experts and domestic consumption
of cotton for October aggregated
100000 bales, which, according
to the senator, constitutes a record
for monthly disposition of the prod
uct.
cat that rate" he continued, .the
exports and consumption between
last Aug. and next Aug. 1, will
be more than 100000 bales and
the best estimate of the visible sup
ply that can be obtained shows only
about 12,5OO,OOO or 100000
bales"
A carry over of about 100000
bales was estimated by Mr.. Smith
while this years crop he believed
would not exceed 100000 bales
He made his figures liberal, he add
ed, but found no way to bring the
two totals anyway near together.
Mr.. Smith reviewed the many
"cries' which he said had forced
the cotton prices down and told the
Senate that all of the 'menacing
things foreseen by the trade, in
Guiding the rail strike" had been
put out of the way yet the price
remained low. He declared, how
ever, that the country never would
see cotton sell as low again, ex-
pressing the belief that American
cotton crops hereafter would fall
below the ten-year average. which
he said was slightly above 12,0GO.-
900 bales.

ALLEGED BANDIT IS
CAUGHT AT H0XIE

Walnut Ridge, Nov. 17.-Jimmie
Stone, aged 20, alleged leader of a
gang of bandits who have commit
ted numerous robberies in this part
OF the state, was captured about
midnight Tuesday night by Sheriff
Caldwell and City Marshal Herrin
of Walnut Ridge at HoXie. The Of
ficers were notified from Thayer
that Stone was on his way to Hoxie
on freight train. They met the
train at Hoxie, but on account of
the crowd, were unable to locate
Stone. They went to the southern
part OF Hoxie, two miles from the
station, to Stones mothers home.
Mrs. Stone refused to, permit them
to go into the house, saying that
Jimmie was not there. They broke
in, however, and searched the place,
finding Jimmie's bed had been oc-
cupied. but could not find him. They
went to the barn, about 100 yards
away, and found him in the loft.
He at first denied his identity, say
ing that he had just come to town
and had gained permission to sleep
in the lott. Despite his objections,
he was placed in the county Jail
at Walnut Ridge.
Stone, "Sliyers" Lawson, Homer
Ross and Pete Smith have been a
terror to this community on &C
count of their crimes, having robbed
approximately so stores, banks and
postoffices as well as having stolen
several automobiles, officers say.
Stone is being held here awaiting
advice from federal officials, who
want him. The gang has been hid
ing near Hoxie for several months.
Jimmie said he would not tell where
his companions were. but would
serve his own sentence provided the
officers were able to hold him.

Carson died at the sanatorium of
la lingering disease. Before. the
end he told attendants at the hos
pital that he had lived in score
Iof states and had married many wo
men. j. r. Harrison, w. M. Brown,
Jack Wilson were some of the
names under which he lived and
married.
After publication that Carson,
Iself-styled mystery man with wives
in every port, had confessed portions
of his former life, the story, appar-
emily, was espied by all the desert
ed wives of the United States, be-
sides parts of Mexico and the West
Indies.
They began writing in. The let
ters came singly, then in pairs, fl
nally the postoffice began sending
them over in neatly-tied bundles.
Pink stationery, violet stationery
and legal stationery are among that
which has poured into the office of
the attorney here. Some thirty of
them claim to be Mrs. X. L. Carson.
Others say they were married to a
man giving the name of ~. L." or
Isome other Harrison.
If every woman who has written
lis the wife, legal or otherwise, of

new record has been set up in the
matrimonial market as the records
pertaining to King Solomon are
somewhat indistinct. AT all events
Carson, if he is given the benefit of
the doubt, ran King Sol hard race,
and after all precincts are reported
may have a substantial plurality.
Attorney Styles is not disposed to
play favorites. There is possibili-
ty, slight though it may now APP
pear. that Carson left an estate.
Therefore the attorney has decided
to let down the bars.
