COTTON BREAKS ON
FEDERAL REPORT
Govt. Estimate of S,34O,000
Bales Greatly Exceeds
Trades Belief.

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-THE cotton
market. which had been strong from
the opening and during the greater
part Of the forenoon mainly from the
bulllsh influence of the further sharp
advance In foreign exchange rates.
broke sharply on the governments an
nual crop estimate. 1t had been ex-
pected for about a fortnight to show
100000 bales. In fact. the average
OF all the private crop estimates num-
berinG about fourteen issued within
that time. was about 7.950.0O0 bales
without linters. While this had been
considered bearish when Contrasted
with the governments low crop esti
mate Of 6,537.00 bales from its Octo-
Der , final crop condition report for
the season. many in the trade had
considered the sharp declines in prices
throughout the month OF November, as
having discounted such a larger Yield
than had been thought likely TO de
velop earlier in the season. As con
sequence there had been good deal
OF covering of shorts during the clos
ing days of last week with many local
and Southern traders tgain buying it
in. getting back on the long side OF
the market again.
Within a half hour after the gov
ernmentS crop estimate OF $4,000
bales of the gross weight Of 500
pounds each had been flashed at
O'Clock our time. the market had
broken III to 120 points. or between
s. and Sc a bale from the high prices
prevailing.
The break in December contracts
went off to IL. cents, while January
and March declined TO 1895. May.
1854. and July to 1880 There was a
good deal Of selling on stop orders and
their execution helped to make the
low prices At about 2:3O O'Clock the
market had. however. recovered 30
points from the low levels. mainly on
active covering of shorts and renewed
support from the local and Wall Street
bull element and also some fresh trade
buying by some OF the large spot
houses. Todays government crop es
innate compares with 13.430.000 bales
produced last year and ll.4s0,000 the
previous year.

SALOON MEN WIN
in SEVEN CASES
Seven Sheboygan County Saloon Men
Win in Dry Prosecutions
in That County.
{By Associated Press Leased Wire. !

~AS0S~ANSS~0 A~~SSoS0
Sheboygan, Wis.-Seven of thirteen
liquor cases were disposed of in favor
of Sheboygan county saloon men
on Tuesday.
The case against William Ragasis
was dismissed by Judge Meyers when
the state asked for an adjournment
pending the arrival of two other state
agents who were attending court at
Fon du Lac and the delay was denied,
This was the fifth case dismissed on
the same grounds.
The sixth dismissal was registered
when Arthur Schwartz, son of a sa-
loonkeeper, who was released in the
morning, was freed upon motion of the
defense. He was charged with having
Intoxicating liquor in his possession,
"being a license" under the state day
act. The defense indicated an error
in the charge, namely that he was the
son of the licensee and that he could
not be held under the charge stated.

James Johnson Drifts in Lake Michigan for an
Hour This Morning But is Finally
Rescued by Coast Guards.
BATTLED WITH WAVES FOR AN HOUR
Loaded Down With Clothes Man is Unable to Swim
Ashore But He Keeps Afloat Until Aid
Finally Reaches Him. \.

James Johnson, one Of Kenosha's
pioneer fishermen, narrowly escaped
death from drowning this morning
when he was rescued from Lake Michi-
gan by Ben Werner, a member of the
life saving crew, after he had chung
to the side Of a rowboat for nearly
an hour. Johnson is an elderly man
and was worn out by his long strug-
gle with the water when his rescuer
reached him and lifted him to safe
ty. He was taken first to the life
saving station where first aid was
given him and later at tn direction of
his physician, DR., George F. Adams,
was taken to his home at ATT Bond
street.
All precautions are being taken to
prevent him from suffering any i'll
effects from the long exposure to the
cold water of the lake and it is be-
lieved that he. will not be confined
long to his bed as result of his har-
rowing experience.
n. Went on Fishing Trip. i.
Johnson early this morning went
on fishing trip, using his rowboat to
take him to the pier near the Sim
mons company, where he caught a
good string of fish within an hour.
He was alone on the pier and it was
not within sight of the life saving sta
ton nor was he near enough to be
seen by any of the fishermen who were
on the north pier. For that reason
his disappearance was not noticed
either by the fshermen or by the life
saving lookout,
at was partly my fault tco," ex-
planned the veteran fisherman this
morning as he told Of his experience
%You see I've lived on the water and
by the water ever since | was knee
high to a duck and thought could
get myself out Of IL. But I'm not as
spry as | used to be and with my
clothes loaded down with water, had
all could do to cling to the boat"
Waves Pull Boat Away.
Johnson told how after he had
caught long string of fish, he start
ed to return home. He had anchored
his boat by chain but the lake had
risen and was tossing the boat about
badly. Johnson, when he went to get
in the boat had the misfortune to
have the chain cut by the waves and
the boat was pulled out from under
him. He managed to grab hold Of the
sides of the boat and putting his ell
bows over it held on for dear life.
"They say you only go under three
times" he declared, "but l went under
more than that Time and again l
thought could not hold on any long
err / drifted north for several yards
and in time came in sight of the fish
ermen on the north pier Finally |
let go my hold on tho boat with my
right hand and waving my cap, yell
ed for help. NThey heard me and sent
the ife-saving man after me-"
All But Exhausted.
Werner, who went to the rescue, ar
rived just in the nick Of time. He
helped Johnson into his boat and
then trailed the rowboat in behind

ZION HAS WARS
AND WAR RUMORS
Independents Prove Unruly
and Refuse to Take Out
Licenses.
THIRTEEN ARE JAILED


"There shall be wars and rumors of
war" This is quotation taken from
Revelations in the Bible and as Zion
City is a holy place, it is especially
applicable there. Voliva is rampant
again it is said and has had thirteen
Of the Independents there pinched for
failure to take out licenses in accord
ance with the ordinances of the city
council Of Zion City. And at last re-
ports the thirteen men had been ar
rested, rearrested and if they persist
ed in opening their places of business
without licenses would be locked up.
War Declared Monday.
The city council on July 25th passed
an ordinance that the shops, Of Zion
should enrich the Zion cofferes by a
substantial license fee. For ice men
it was $500; butchers, $4,000; res
taurants, $500; bakers, $4,000; and
garages, $4,000 The Independents
took exception to the license and
opened their place Of business despite
the orders of the council. Chief Of
Police Becker arrested the unruly
thirteen and had them arraigned.
They pleaded not guilty and were re-
leased under $500 bond each. This
morning they opened their places of
business and the paddy wagon" got
busy again and Becker had the thir-
teen. on his hands again. This time
A. E. Bills, a dealer in real estate,
refused to give bonds, saying that he
had not been established in the city
a sufficient time to pay such license.
They released him and are investigat-
ing his case. The other twelve again
signed bond of $500. Becker states
that he has orders to keep arresting
the men if they persist in opening
their stores.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1921-08-25

was taken to the life saving station
where he was revived and later sent to
his home.
The life saver declared that John
son was entirely exhausted when he
reached him and would probably have
been unable to cling to the boat but
a short time longer. He had been
chilled through and through by the
water and only the fact that he was
accustomed to exposure had enabled
him to stand the ordeal as long as he
had.
Rescued Several Times.
It was a close shave" commented
Johnson, "but I've had lots of them in
my time. ! want to say though that
| have plenty of praise for the way
that the life savers helped me and
that | was agreeably surprised with
the way they cared for me after l was
brought ashore"
Johnson is one of Kenosha's best
known fishermen and he was being
complimented by his friends for the
nerve he displayed in clinging to the
boat for more than an hour until he
arrived where he could summon help
