ator Fletcher brought to the State
Departments notice a telegram from
two we'll known residents of the
community, reading:
Archbishop Alexander of New York,
head of the Orthodox Greek Christian
Church of America, is here to officiate
at the annual celebration of Epiphany
in the presence of 10000 people. He
has received the following telegram

with Rear Admiral Mark l. Bristol,
American high commissioner at Con-
stantinople. Admiral Bristol replied
that he knew of no foundation for
such rumor." Last week the rumor
was borne out by the deportation of
the Greek ecumenical patriarch from
Turkish territory. Senator Fletcher
has called the State Departments at
tention to tho fact that its emissary
in Constantinople was manifestly not
as well posted as the Greek orthodox
church people In tho United States.

SLAYER-BAND SHARED,
CHEATED LAW BY SUICIDE
Probe Shows Bullet From Own Gun
Ended Life of Michael
Riccitelli.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, February s.
Michael Riccitelli, known as the
post road bandit" who was cornered
in the freight yards of Stratford by
Stratford police, took his own life
when he found that capture was in
evitable. This was disclosed in an
autopsy yesterday when physicians
removed from Riccitellfs brain a
bullet which fitted the single empty
shell in one of the bandits revoIvers
found near the spot where he had
fallen.
Riccitelli has been identified as the
man who committed two murders,
one in New Haven and one in Darien;
shot a policeman in Mount Vernon,
n. Y, and another in Stratford and
held up more than a score of places
along the post road
The bandit had been mortally
wounded by Stratford officers, but,
according to Medical Examiner H. L.
Peters it was the bullet from his
own gun that brought death.
Thus Riccitelli is said to have
carried out a threat made weeks ago
that Til never be taken alive"

Probably those who enjoyed the

soldiers arrived in Dawson hot, tired
and dusty but were in high spirits
following a dip in the refreshing water
OF the pool.

CONDITION OF COTTON
IN GEORGIA PUT AT rs
IS HIGHER THAN ANY YEAR
SINCE 1919. ENTIRE STATE IS
SUFFERING FOR RAIN.

The average condition OF cotton in
Georgia on May Is, as reported by
the correspondents OF the Georgia Co.
Operative Reporting Service, was
higher than on that date in any year
since 1910. The condition was Is per
cent OF normal. as compared with 68
Der cent on May 25, last year. 65 per
cent in 1928, II per cent in 1922, 63
per cent in 1921, IS per cent in 1920,
and 81 per cent in 1919 The report
further says:
While the condition in the state as
whole was above the average report
ed on that date for the past Jew years,
some localities are exceptions and the
conditions are spotted, due largely to
late and irregular stands in those To-
calities caused by droughty conditions
after planting. This is particularly true
in a few central and west-central
counties.
Planting was much earlier than last
year and preparation more thorough,
especially in the northern half OF the
state. where the crop has been planted
unusually late for several years. Gen
erallv speaking, early planted cotton
came to a good stand and is well ad-
vanced: intermediate and late plant
ings (after about the second week III
ApriD did not have sufficient moisture
for termination until rains came about
the middle OF May Some localities
have not yet received rain and have
not succeeded in getting later plant
ings up to stand. Ali sections OF the
state are needing rain at this time
Best in South Georgia.
In southern Georgia the crop has
secured a splendid start Stands are
very good plants are healthy and well
advanced and fields are in splendid
state OF cultivation A doubtful feat
ure of the situation in this part Of the
state is the fact that weevils have been
found in fairly large numbers in
majority of the counties
A belt across central Georgia, par
ticular1y in west-central counties, is
very spotted, with good stands from
early paintings, but very irregular
stands from intermediate and late
paintings, due to droughty conditions.
Preparation and cultivation were good.
Weevils have appeared locally in the
northern half Of the state. In northern
Georgia fair to good stands were OBJ
tanned, for the most part, after the
rains of about May 18th. Fields are
clean and the crop is making salts
factory progress. although this sec
ton would also be benefited by rain.
The average condition OF cotton in
the United States is reported as 700
per cent of normal The l0-year aver
age for the same date is Y per cent.
The prospects are poorer than usual
only in Texas, North Carolina and
Virginia. Practically everywhere else
the crop has secured a good start on
well-prepared soil The fields are most
ly clean and are in an unusually good
state OF cultivation.
