LE CROS BEBE RUTH EXCITING
 FRENCH FANS
and Gaston Marvel at Money
 Making Career.

PARIS, April 13.-The fame of the great Babe Ruthe has at last crossed the ocean and French publications re- centlv have been filled with unique narratives of the superslugger's eX- ploits.
 He of the 59 home runs is not being exalted in France for the number of fences he has driven the ball over, but for the dent he has made in the bank roll of the club owners.
 "The swing of his bat is terrible, but the swish of his pen is deadller,' says the staid Avenir referring to the slgn- ing of the reported $500,OOO for Five Years Contract"
 'The Virtuoso of the Home Run IS also an ace in the business end Of It, the Paris Midi comments.
 Five hundred dollars each time for hitting a baseball half as far as could hit a golf ball." laments an anonymous writer in the Paris Sport.
 "Besides the money which he gath CTS from baseball 'le gros Bebe Ruth also earns enough on the stage to keep many families in affluence,' says Comoedia, a theatrical paper.
 Babe Ruth might have gone on for ever knocking the covers off baseballs' doffing his cap in a bored way each time he reached the home plate after a circuit trip of the diamond, yet ne never would have been heard Of Ill France, had he not signed for the re- ported sum of $100,000 year.

Fatty Says Is Coming Back Into Movies If People Want Him to Be Thus Reinstated.
 OUT ONLY SIX MINUTES
D e clare Acquittal Is Not Enough and Asks Public to Exonerate Him From All Blame.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-A ver- dict of acquittal was returned last evening bys the jury in the third trial of "Fat" Arbuckle on charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of Miss Virginia Rappe, motion picture actress, as a result of injuries alleged suffered at his hands in his rooms in the St. Franc is Hotel during a liquor party
 The jury was out only six minutes. Arbuckle received the verdict with a great sigh of relief. Mrs. Minta Durfee Arbuckle, his wife, wept quietly. Both shook hands with each juror. Mrs. Arbuckle then expressed thanks to Gavin McNab chief de- fense counsel, by giving him a re- sounding kiss.
 The group of jurors gave out the following statement:
 sAcquattaI is not enough for
 Roscoe c. ArbuckIe. We feel
 that a great injustice has been
 done him. We feel also that it is
 only our plain duty to give this
 exoneraton, under the evidence,
 for there was not the slightest
 proof adduced to connect him in
 any way with the commission of
 the crime. We wish him success,
 and we hope the American peo-
 pie will accept the judgment of
 the fourteen men and women,
 who sat listening for thirty-one
 days to the evidence, that Ar
 buckle was entirely innocent
 and free from all blame"
 Arbuckle himself said: '1f the public doesn't want me back in the pictures, to which I wish to devote my life, I'll take my medicine, but, after the quick vindication which I have just received, I'm sure the American people will be fair, and believe I'm due for a come- back" :"

CONSUMPTION OF COTTON
BACK TO PRE-WAR LEVELS

Striking Feature OF the Situation is
the Consumption of 12,000,000 Bales
for 1921.
Washington, April 30.--World cot
ton consumption has returned to it's
l>prc-war level, after q 5-year period of
low consumption, according to sur
vcy Of the international cotton situa-
ton covering producti)r cCnsumD-
ton ard stocks IS Of fe\pr' ma lie
public tonight by the commerce &C.
partment.
The striking feature Of the situa-
tion,' the department said, "is an in
dicatcd consumption of 100000 bales
for the year ending July 81, 1922, ap-
proximately 100000 bales more than
was produced for the crop year"
The world carry-over, the depart
ment concluded, from it's survey, will
return to normal by August T. 1922,
while the outstanding feature Of in
tercst now is the degree to which
world cotton production will return TO
the ure-war level or whether it will
continue on the basis Of the last 5
years average Of lS,000,000 bales
Much depends, The department declar-
ed, on weather conditions and the ex-
tent to which the boil weevil proves
to be a limiting factor.
From its survey, the department
stated, it appeared that on August 1,
1921, the carry-over of cotton was A.
i135,000 bales, world cotton produce
! ton for the 1921 crop was 15,197 900
bales and the total supply for the
l921-1922 season was 15,1S7,00O bales
Consumption from August 1, 1921, to
March 81, 1922, was estimated at A.
100000 bales, leaving an indicated sup
Iply on April / Of 14,903, 900 bales. Prob
ably consumption from April l. 1922 to
July 81, 1922, was estimated at 7,000,-
600 bales and the carry-over on Au-
gust 1, 1921, of 100000 bales.
MANY believe" the department said
"that new world consumption level
had been found, some two or three
million bales lower than the pre-war
level Of approximately 21,00000O bales
per annum. The low consumption of
less sthan 100000 bales for 1920-2l
confirmed this view, a matter Of great
concern to cotton growers, in view of
the enormous carry-over aRd the
knowledge that single good cotton
year would make what looked like a
bad situation, worse.
During the past s months cotton
! consumption has shown a strong up
turn, reaching this time 100000
bales, and a prospective consumption
! Of 81 100000 bales by the end Of the
cotton year This would leave car
ry-over Of less than 100000 bales,
thus getting cotton consumption and
carry-over back to a pre-war normal
basis"
