COTTON GROWERS
FACING CRISIS
Two Million Bordering on
Bankruptcy.
BIZ Tnitcd Press

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Two mil
lion cotton growers in the United
States face an economic crisis border
ing on bankruptcy, because of the
bumper cotton crop and attendant
low prices, Federal cotton experts
told the United Press today.
With a surplus of about 100000
bales of short staple cotton from
the 1925 harvest, 16,627,0O bales will
be produced this year, most of it of
only fair grade.
Federal intermediate credit banks
have already advanced farmers $751;
600, 900 for cotton in warehouses, in
an attempt to remove the surplus Of
this year from the market while
prices are low.
Federal Aid has been promised
the growers by A. c. Williams,
Federal Farm Loan commissioner,
and Jardine.
Government experts said the only
real solution of the cotton surplus
problem lay with the farmers them.
selves. Each year they have been
increasing cotton acreage until the
supply is greater than demand dur
ing favorable years.
Efforts will be made next plant
ing season to have cotton growers
reduce the 47,2O7 900 acres left for
harvest this season by at least 25 per
cent, it was stated.

DATE TO Be SET
Judge to Sustain Demurrer ir
Stephenson Case.

The kidnapping case, pending in
Criminal Court against ID. c. Steph.
enson, Earl Gentry and Earl Klincll,
will be set for trial, it was an
nounced today by Judge James A.
Collins, who said he would sustain
the States demurrer to plea in for
mer jeopardy filed several months
ago by Ira M. Holmes. former attor.
ney for Stephenson. Judge Collins
said he would rule Monday morning
when Holmes and Prosecutor Will
liam II. Remy will be present. The
case may be set for trial then, Judge
Collins said.
Judge Collins said Holmes has
personally informed him that he is
no longer Stephenson attorney.
Gentry and Klenck, tried with Ste
phenson on murder charge in No
blesville were found not guilty and
acquitted. Their plea is that since
all of the evidence brought out il
the murder trial is identical to thai
which will be used in the kidnapping
hearing, their rights will be in
jeopardy. The three are charged
with kidnapping Miss Madge Ober
holtZer. For Miss Oberholtzer's death

Adams said the appeal to the Sen.
ators was made after it was de-
cided that it would be futile to ask
Governor Jackson to issue a call for
a special session. Jackson is under
stood to hold the view that with the
Legislature converting in January a

Fatigued with the arduous duties
of his Office. Governor Jackson was
too tired" today to discuss with The
Times his decision TO appoint a
special committee to interview Ste
phenson at State Prison and ferret
out the charges of political corrup-
ton being hurled by Adams.
Jackson refused to bulge from his
bed this morning when informed by
his wife that the Times desired veri-
fication of a story. printed in a
morning paper. that he would APP
point an investigation committee
soon.
HE doesn't care to talk to you,"
NT,.cy tnI
The Governor had complained Fri
day that this same morning paper
had "misquoted" him when it car
ried a story that he was going to
appoint an investigating committee.
Jackson denied saying he would ap-
point such a body when he was asked
for a verification of the previous
story.
Today, however, Mrs. Jackson said
it would be all right with her hus-
band if The Times picked up" what
the morning paper had said.
Stirred by Roosevelt
Jackson promised an investigation
Thursday when young Theodore
Roosevelt stood on a platform at La
Grange and told Indiana Republic
ans to come clean on the Stephenson
fiasco.
Jackson's idea, according to the
morning paper, is to select a group
of men 'who will command the con-
fidence of the people," To them, the
Governor is quoted as saying, will
be left the matter of deciding
whether it should make public it's
findings" This is generally con-
strued as meaning that the commit
tee will go through the actions of
interrogating the former Khan car
and then announce there is nothing
to it at ALL
Governor Jackson has told the
morning paper to say that he is
very much wroth with the refusal
of Adams to entrust his evidence
to either Prosecutor William H.
Remy or Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom. Adams refused to act
when Jackson suggested such pro-
cedure, fearing it was an attempt to
''pry loose" the basis of the editors
charges. Other State officials, as
well as Jackson, betray strong de-
sire to know in advance what Ad-
ans is going to spring from his sur
prise box.
