Greater Domestic Program
This year--after five years of con-
structlve effort during the war and
otter the armlstice brings with 1t a
greater responsibility for domestic
service to the American Red Cross.
The budget for foreign operations,
however, totals $3,4O4.0O0, but of this
amount $L,834,000 is for medical re-
lief and hospital supplies for Russia,
which Is part of the gift made by
the American Red Cross in 1921 to
the Russian famine relief work of the
American Relief Administration pro-
gram. The child health service in Eu-
roIe continues, moreover, and $654,-

MOST OF STATES
COTTON CROP GATHERED
Fall has been Best Picking Season
for Farmers In Several Years
About 25 per cent unpicked.

Jackson. Farmers OF Mississippi
are agreed that this is the best
autumn for cotton picking they have
had in many years, and not more than
rs per cent of the seasons yield re-
mains in the field to be picked. In
some counties the percentage is much
smaller.
During the latter part OF last week
few heavy showers were reported
In the central counties, but, over a
good portion OF the cotton-growing
area there has been practically no
moisture during the past month. This
is not altogether pleasing, in view of
the fact that drought conditions have
developed, especially in the southern
counties where creeks have dried up,
and many farmers are compelled to
haul water for their live stock Forest
fires covering a considerable area
have also been reported.
The quality Of the staple is the best
that has been harvested in this state
for many seasons, and the tendency
to hold back the crop from the market
is somewhat general. 1t is common
sight to see wagons vending their
way back to the farms from the cot
ton gins laden with new-made bales to
be stored awaiting better prices.

Tried on n4Gl,arses:
Decision Reserved
Leach Withholds Judgment
on Policeman Alleged TO
Have Hit Girl. Shot Man
and Been i'm Cafe Brawl

Patrolman John P. Cullen, OF the
Butler Street, Brooklyn police station,
was placed on trial before FIRST Dep
uty Police Commissioner Loach in
Brooklyn Police Headquarters ycstor-
day. -Four charges were inclu1ed in
the complaint against him
1t was alleged, first, that shortly
after l30 a. m. on October 81, at his
home, 292 Columbia Street, Brooklyn,
Cullen punched Miss Catherine Larsen
in the eye with his fist. Miss Larsen,
tcstifying at the trial, said that the
only reason for Cullens action, so far
as she knew, was her refusal to serve
as bridesmaid at the wedding Of Cul-
lens sister. Cullen denied striking
the girl. Another witness testified
that the girl was struck accidentally
while he and Cullen were exchanging
blows. On this count decision was re-
served.
The second charge against Patrolman
Cullen states that he shot James Gal
laghor, Of 391 Hicks Street BROOKLYN
in the leg at Hicks and Pacific streets,
Brooklyn. when Cullen was OFF duty and
IN civilian clothes, and then followed
hlm to the Long Island College Hospi-
tai and struck him with his fist as he
vas waiting to undergo an operation
Commissioner Leach reserved decision
OH this charge also.
Tho third charge was preferred by
Captain Thomas Donohue. Of the West
forty-seVcnth Street police station
and Sergeant Kssin, Of the same
precinct, who alleged that with Patrol
man Walter Y. Mctelski, of the West
Forty seventh Street station. Cullen
caused serious disturbance at the
Rose Garden cabaret, at 2O3 West
Forty-ninth Street. shortly after A.
m. on New Years Day. Patrolman
James ]. Stack, OF the West Forty
seventh Street station. assigned to
watch the cabaret for violations of the
prohibition Law, was charged with
failure to stop the disturbance or to
make report of the affair. Decision
vas reserved on the charges against
Cullen and Stack, and the case against
Metelski was adjourned
The last charge against Cullen was
that he could not be found on post
for three and = half hours on New
ears Day. Cullen pleaded that he
was i'll, but did not want to report as

ne had been on New Years celebra.

medicine containing an evident mar
