Rum Runners Decoy Coast
Guard Boats in-Shore
and Then Open Fire
LIVES OF GUARDSMEN
ARE BEING THREATENED
Congress to Be Asked for
More Men and Boats
Thirst Now Prevails.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Rcar Ad-
mlral Bilavard, commanding the
Coast Guard, announced today that
there are many indications that
Rum Row does not intend to strike
its colors without a fight and that
his force undoubtedly faces war to
the death.
Some of the Coast Guardsmen are
threatening to resign on account
of the perils to their families while
they are away.
Confidential reports included the
kidnapping of a man in Atlantic
City, ambushing of cutter off
Montauk Point and many threaten
ing letters have been received here
and by guardsmen in New London
and the Bay shore.
Guard patrols have been sub
jected to the guns on rum runners
when nearing shore in Florida or
entering the bays of the gulf and
coast.
Commander Yeandie and s.ssist.
ant Commander Billiard state that
letters have conveyed information
that certain officers and men of the
Coast Guard have been placed on
the smuggler's death list.
Boatswain Pearson was kidnapped
at Atlantic City but released when
it was found he was the wrong man.
1t is believed the man sought had
been given warning.
Assistant Commander Billiard is
taking all precautions.
Boatswain Gustafson of the pa
troll CG-237, was shot and killed
from ambush a fortnight ago off
Block Island after his life had been
threatened.
The patrol boat was decoyed on
the fatal trip past a rum runner
which then fired a machine gun,
wound two besides killing Gustaf-
son.
The ships on Row Row have re-
sorted to carrier pigeons to COM
municatc with their agents ON
shore.
Assistant Commander Billiard re-
iterated his determination to estab-
lish a blockade as near smuggle
proof as his facilities will permit.
He states the situation has become
50 serious that he is demanded to
ask Of Congress more men and
boats.

TERRELL
ADVISES
Agriculture Commissioner
Of Texas Expects
Advance.

AUSTIN. Oct. 31.-Stop selling
cotton at the present time, is the
advice given by George Il. Terrell,
commissioner Of agriculture Saturday
in commenting on the cotton market
"The price of cotton has now fallen
below 20 cents, because Of the recent
report of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture estimating the
cotton crop at 15,226,O0O bales" said
Commissioner Terrell.
"The world consumed more than
100000 bales of cotton last year,
and consumption at the present rate
will take 100000 bales the com
"There is no justification for this
heavy decline in cotton prices, even
if the government is correct in its
estimate of production. The ginning
are unusually high to date-prob-
ably more than two-thirds of all cot
ton had been ginned, and if this be
true. the crop cannot be more than
100000 bales, which many careful
observers believe will be the actual
production"
"We do not advise any one to hold
cotton indefinitely" continued Com
missioner Terrell, "but nothing can
stop the downward trend of cotton
prices. except to stop selling. and il
all owners of cotton stop selling for
two weeks, cotton will react and pass
the 20 cent mark in that time, and
if the next government report shows
lower estimate than the report of
October IS. cotton will advance still
higher. l believe that the report of
November IL will show rapid falling
off of ginnings, and a consequent
lower estimate of the cotton crop.
Surely it will hurt no no one to hold
cotton fifteen days in order to stop
falling prices which would benefit all
owners Of cotton and all legitimate
business interests of the South"
