STOCKS DEPRESSED
AT SHORT SESSION.
Market Gives Evidence of
RaIIying Tendencies at
Close Of Trading.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, October 1S.-Large- scale
liquidation again poured relentlessly
into the stock market today, and the
week closed with the general level OF
prices at a new minimum. The list
developed impressive resistance to SELL

Faint rallying tndencies appeared in

averaged fractionally above the lowest.

COTTON CALAMITY,
FARM BOARD FEAR
Williams Warns Against 0verpro
duction and Price Depression
Like That Of 1925.
BY the Associated Press.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, February a.
The South is facing q cotton calamity
as dire as the depression Of 1926 unless
the Governments campaign for acreage
reduction is successful, Carl williams,
Federal Farm Board member, told
directors of the American Cotton CO.
operative Association here today.
Cotton acreage Is on the red side
OF the ledger" he, said, land there must
be an immediate reduction of 5000, 900
acreaS. Unless farmers reduce their
acreage ito 100000 there will be no
cotton profit in the South, and further
more Southern farmers face the PROS
pect this year of no Government aid
OF an effective character because of
over production"
He said cotton may sell at low as 10
cents a pound "or less If the same
acreage is planted this year as was
planted last year.
IF the Farm Board is to help the
Southern farmer it must not have to
deal with an unwieldly surplus Mr..
Williams said. And Southern farmers
cannot make expenses as long as over
production holds down the price"
He said there was great danger in the
tendency OF American growers to lower
quality OF their cotton while European
growers improved quality.
The farmer must move up O year
In his calculations and think of his
prospective crop in terms of perspective
prices and abandon the system OF plant
ing on the basis of last years CROP" the
cotton representative said.

FLORIDA DEATH CASE
LINKED WITH THREAT
Use of Carpenters Square Preceded
Staying of Former Editor
in Labor Paper Dispute.
~ the Associated Press.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, February a.
Testimony that w. P. (Billy) Parker,
former editor of the Menace, threat
ened Harvey jackson with q carpen-
ter'S square moment before Jackson
shot him to death was offered by the
defense at the trial here today.
The State charges Jackson plotted
Parker'S death because Of resentment
of articles the editor published about
jackson in the Blue Shirt, a labor
paper edited by Parker when he was
killed.
Henry Harris testified he heard the
argument between jackson and Parker
and went into the editorial ofIice In
time to see Parker raise a carpenters
square over his head and advance to-
ward Jackson.
When he first entered the door, Har-
us said, he saw Parker shaking q hand
ful Of papers toward Jackson While IN
the next room having his subscription
attended to, Harris had heard Jackson
exclaim, You know you wrote q
damned lie about me"
Then as he saw the editor brandish-
ing the papers, Harris said Parker cried
70 jackson. You know that you have
Just told q damned lie." Parker,s wife
and daughter were in the room. Jack
son mumbled something, he said, and
Parker stopped down, picked up the
carpenters square and started toward
jackson, Jackson fired three times,
Harris said. The editor slumped to the
floor
Other witnesses for the defense testa-
ned that jackson had made no threats
against Parker's life. This contradicted
State testimony.
Both State and defense have brought
out that there was split in the Or
ganization for which the Blue Shirt
paper was published. Parker led one
faction Of Blue Shirts and jackson the
other, It was said.

Baker Is being returned on an indict-
ment charging theft of $40 from the

thoritieS centers in the statement of
the prisoner that he murdered Henry
3. Cav, Waterman at the laboratory.
Horey telegraphed New York authori-
ties before he left recommending that
Baker be indicted for that crime.
The murder of Cav is the only one
OF the nine confessed by Baker of which

convinced by Bakers accurate descrip-
ton of conditions at the scene that he
knew something of the watchman's
death on the night of December 81,
1928. Examination of Baker by
pyschiatrists here resulted in a report
which would ut either a ruthless
