100000 BALES
RAISED IN TEXAS

HOUSTON, Dec. 10.-October
freezes cost cotton growers in one Sec
ton of Texas alone 81, 100000, ac-
cording to the December 1 cotton re-
port of II. H. Schultz, government
statistician here. An offset, however,
is better crop prospects as indicated
by a better season in the ground than
at this time last year; but here again
it is not an unmixed blessing, because,
Mr.. Schutz's investigation shows, the
late crop picked during the current
season has been of low grade.
The December estimate of the en-
| tire crop places it at 100000 bales
Of 500 pounds gross weight.
at is estimated" the report says,
"that 81 per cent If the Texas crop
had been ginned prior 70 December 1,
total of 1851, 600 bales or 5000
bales since November IA. During the
past decade the average ginned up to
December has been 80 per cent. Last
year 81 per cent had been ginned to
this date. With a continuance of
good weather the remainder OF the
crop will be gathered in few more
weeks.
Under normal conditions during the
fall the Northwest could have made
| at least 100000 bales against the
9S9, 900 bales ginned last year when
the conditions for gathering were I'M
| surpassed, The October freezing
weather, however, unusual in its earh-
ness and severity, found the crop
easily two to three weeks late; as
q consequence the losses were very
heavy both in quantity and quality.
A conservative estimate Of the cotton
that might have been made in this
district, which includes that portion OF
the state lying west and northwest
of Clay and Palo Pinto counties, In
addition to what is promised at pres
emit can be placed at 10000 bales
which represents fully $1,000, 900.
Most Of the month has been favor
able for gathering the crop, to the
extent that many communities have
ginned and sold the cotton made anc
have started preparing the land FOL
next year.
practically all sections Of the state
have a good season in the ground, thu
very opposite of what prevailed a.
this time q year ago. Owing to ex
cessive rainfall as well as unseasonabl,
low temperatures an unusually larg'
proportion Of the cotton gathered dur
ing the past month or six weeks ha
been low grade. Bellies and snap
have lately been much more in evi
dence than picked cotton. Estimate
on the amount of untenderable cottol
this season range from Is to 20 pc
cent, due partly to lack of staple lengt
but mostly to poor grades

FILED
IN RATCHET
KILLING
Suspect Makes Confession
in Death Of Woman
Found Slain.

Actuated by q fit of-anger brought
on by a bit of Gliding, a 30-year-old
man welded the Ratchet with which
Mrs. Beatrice Without, 65. was killed
last Thursday, according to confes-
sion made to Constable Duke Carver
and members of the district attorneys
force Wednesday evening.
"She chided me for not working,
and threatened to drive me from her
home unless / went to work." the
confession said.
II became Infatuated, and when she
went into the backyard to chop some
wood / followed her, took the Ratchet
from her hands and struck her over
the head.
When I realized what had done
l was sorry" the man said.
Charges of murder were filed against
the man in the justice court of Ben
). Fisk as soon as the confession had
been signed and witnessed.
The man was arrested by Consta-
Bile Carver Wednesday morning after
he thought he was cleared of suspi-
cion. He had been held in jail pre-
viously. Suspicion had been directed
at him for several days, but he had
steadfastly denied completely in the
murder. Constable Carver confronted
the man with evidence pointing to him
as the murderer, and then put him
through persistent questioning. The
suspect weakened under the mass OF
evidence against him which the consta.
bic had assembled.
The confession followed. It was
made to Bat Corrigan, of the district
attorneys office, in the presence of
Duke Carver and John Long, chief
investigator of the district attorneys
office.
Mrs. Without was found lying in
the rear of her home, POI Forrest
avenue, with a severe wound in the
temple and Ratchet lying beside her.
She was taken to the hospital, where
she died Monday.
For a time officers were baffled
by the crime, but Constable Carver,
working alone on the case for several
days, became convinced the suspect
was the murderer. Evidence uncov-
cred during the subsequent investiga-
ton strengthened him in his belief.

At a large gathering of statesmen the
other evening a slur upon Wall Street
by one of the speakers drew applause.
A waiter has just complained to me
that he has lost an important part OF
his savings by a Wall Street failure.
He tells me that he had paid all but
the final few dollars on certain shares
bought for him by Wilson and Char
don, members of the New York Con-
solidated Stock Exchange. when the
firm failed. Visits to the receiver
named by the court have brought the
waiter no comfort or encouragement.
Practically the total amount. he is
informed, will be lost beyond recov-
cry. The waiter offered to pay the
small balance on his stock but this
offer was refused. the shares doubtless
having been used-or misused-by the
brokers in course Of their antics which
brought about bankruptcy.
Another wage Garner, married
man with two children, who had
saved few hundred dollars was in
duced to Invest" it on some Install
ment payment plan, and the whole
scheme has collapsed. with the conse-
uuence that he is told he will get
back little or none of his hard-won
savings. Although this loss was not
sustained in Wall Street, the worker
calls, it "A Dirty Wall Street Trick"
The code of honor among decent
individuals and firms in Wall Street
is as high as can be found anywhere.
But, unfortunately, a large number
of unwise individuals throughout the
country have not been careful to do
their investing through their local
banks or through members OF the New
York Stock Echange or through high
grade concerns. Far too many are
imposed upon by stock and bond ped
dlers. Others who have done business
in "Wall Street have too often paid
grave penalty for dealing with I'M
trustworthy concerns.
The consolidated stock exchange has
had so many disastrous failures in re-
cent years that its reputation has
gone down.

to be the channel for the preparation
Of many crimes against unwary buy
