O[DT|MER FINDS FORMER HOMETOWN OF FALL RIVER
 CHANGED CONSIDERABLY
COTTON INDUSTRY IN NORTHERN STATES CANNOT COMPETE
 WITH SOUTH

"The cotton industry in the States is shot full of holes because of two things the first of which is because the women these days must wear nothing but silk, and the second is because the cotton growers them- selves are erecting plants CD or near the plantations. This practically puts out of business the northern cotton mills and prior to my de- parture for the coast mills which had cost millions to erect were being sold for few thousands". thus spoke Felix Bouchet. oldtimer from he Interior wastes, and who has just returned from his first trip Outside in over a quarter Of a century, to the Gateway on Sunday.
 There was cotton plant either being disnantled or sold at the rate of one a week when I was back there,' MT. Rouchet continued. The northern plants say it is absolutely impossible for them to compete against the southern plants How ever, conditions were fairly good in the New England States, where my family reside But things certainly have changed When a company se- cures large order the wheels of the industry turn day and night until the big order is filled then, if there are no more orders on hand, the plant shuts down until more business comes in. In my day one worked regular hours during the day and that ended it, but in this day and age those days are gone forever"
 Where We used to buy beef steak three pounds for 25 cents now it costs from 10 to 50 cents; for a sin- gle pound And 50 on down the line. With few exceptions all the old fam iIiar landmarks in my oId hon,o +o1r,, of Fall River, Mass, have disappear ed and upon returning I was a stranger in a strange land"
 MT. Bouchet has departed for Fair banks where he will stay awhile before continuing on down to the Iditarod, or to Flat, where for many years past he has been active in a mining way

BRAWLEY SLAYER
ESCAPES FROM
STATE ASYLUM
By United Press Leased Wire

NAPA, Cal, June 14.-Gaudin
Singh, maniac Hindu murderer, who
escaped from the insane asylum here
yesterday was still at large today
and fresh men were being added to
the posses searching for him.
The Hindu, convicted of uxoricide,
cheated the gallows by becoming vio-
lently insane two days before he was
to hang at San Quentin prison. Au-
thorities of the entire bay district
have been asked to assist in his ap-
prehension.
Apparently the Hindu mentioned
in the above dispatch is Gaudet
Singh, who killed his wife, Margar-
ita Singh at Brawley on April 16,
1921. Singh was convicted in the
superior court here on June 81,
1921, and on June 80 Of the same
year was sentei ed by Judge NJ. w.
Conkling to be hanged at San
Quentin prison.
