STAR WITNESS AGAINST ALLEGED RADICAL TO GO UPON STAND TODAY TX. s. 97" Will Tell of Com
 munist Meeeting on
 Sand Dunes

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, March 1S.-(By Associated Press.)-"K> D. 97" gov ernment agent, who rose so high in the communist party of America that he attended the national convention near here last August as delegate, will take the stand tomorrow or Tuesday in the Berrien county circuit court as the chief state witness against William z. Foster of Chicago. charged with criminal syndicalism. The cryptic symbol of the government agent hides the identity of Francis Morrow in the records of the federal department of justice.
 As government agent at Camden, N. J., Morrow entered the shipyards and then joined the communist party un- der the name of Ashworth. By that name he was known to communist leaders, but at the bridgemen's con vention, where all delegates used as sumed names and were forbidden to disclose their true identity, he used the alias of Day.
 The state expects Morrow to tell of the speech said to have been de- livered at the convention by Com rade Borden" the alias which the prosecution claimed concealed the identity of Foster. He is also ex- pected to describe the activities of "Comrade Brooks" whe the state will attempt to prove was Arnold Lose vesky of Moscow.

IT'S MOVING DAY IN
 BEST CIRCUS CIRCLES
Horses Put On Best Appearance
 For Long Road Tour

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, March 1S.- Now that the reaching and towering instinct is rife again among the clods, Jim Stone, stiff in the knees and a little bleary in his squinty, gray blue eyes, is fetching himself out of another winters lethargy and feeling the feel of the reins. The Civil war was still raw recollection when Jim first swung a leg to the quar- terback of band wagon back in 1868 and "giddapped" 20-horse team at the front of the grand free street parade and educational exposition of McGuigan's circus-the greatest show, of course, on earth.
 Jim is the Adelina Patti of his profession, having made 20 farewell tours of the United States, driving 20-horse teams. Once in London, many years ago, he drove team of 40 steel-grays in Barnum x Bailey's parade. His wrists are as round and strong as those orphan scrub iron woods that you find growing cockily
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-19

out of rocks and the skin of them is
 as rough as bark. If Jim ever misses
 farewell you people will think he is dead and most likely he will be. But this week he is marcelling the tails of his grays and scratching their rusted Hanks with the curry comb, because it's spring and the cir
 GUS is stirring again. There are 390-
 odd horses, both show stock and draft, in the barns of the Ringling-
 Barnum & Bailey show, the greatest, of course, on earth, and the boys, by now, have worked halfway down the last row of stalls.
 Across a soggy yard from the horse barn is the elephant garage, where old John, the big one with the razor back, stands shackled tC the blocks because his temper has been backfir- in,; lately They're going to leave John behind when the 34 other big fellows and the six pygmies are goaded into the cars in few days now to take to the road for another summer. That will cancel lot of the old fellows meanness and when he finally comes to time they will route him out to meet the show wherever it happens to be. John has been an agitator in the barn for the last month and it has been difficult to keep the others at their lessons in the ring with him swaying on the sidelines, trumpeting and clanking
 his chains

O[D CROP MONTHS SCAR TO NEW HIGH SEASONAL RECORDS
Weeks Quotations Opened and Closed Steady With
 Reactions Between

NEW ORLEANS. March 1S.-Old crop months in the cotton market made new high record prices for the season this week and new crop months traded up to within few points of previous high records. The tone was very steady in the early part of the week and again on the close, but in between was a rather extended period of long liquidation which caused fairly substantial re- actions. At the highest the trading months were 55 to 91 points over the close of the preceding week and on the close the list showed net gains of 39 to 60 points. Fluctuations car ried the market over a range of 73 to 93 points. May traded up to 31.16c a pound and closed at 30.71c. In the spot department spots gained 25 points on middling in the net results, that grade closing at 31c. against 16.75c on the close this week year ago. Middling stood at 31.25c, at its best, new high for the season.
 Until liquidation by longs took possession of the market unsatisfac- tory weather accounts rom many portions of the belt caused a fair volume of buying. According to mar ket gossip, large long interests took advantage of the unfavorable wealth CT conditions and sold out.
 Spots Active.
 Early in the week there was some talk of a quieter market for spot cotton, but late in the week points both east and west of the Mississippi river were claiming more inquiry. Mill takings for the week were 202,000 bales, against 190,000 this week last year.
 According to government reports. planting of cotton has been going on in south Texas, south Georgia, in Florida and in some of the coastal sections of South Carolina. At the end of the week it was feared that frost had damaged young plants wherever they were up; that low temperatures would check germina- tion and might cause rotting of seed in the ground. Too much rain was reported from large areas of the cotton region, and the week closed with prospect that wet and cold weather might extend into the new week. The weather is likely to be a more important factor this coming week, for the time has arrived for general planting in more southern sections of the belt and for the com pletion of preparations to plant in more northern sections.
