FIGHT
ABOUT FIGHT.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept .26. U.P)-
Negro and white students hurled
rocks and sticks at each other in
a fight at a school here today over
the Baer-Louis fight.
Police were rushed to the scene
when the parents of the children
threatened to take part. More than
SO children were involved.
Parents took their children from
the school and were escorted to
safety by police.
The battle started as classes were
about to begin at the Oyler grade
school. An hour after the child
rem had dispersed, groups of white
and Negro parents gathered near
by.
Police sought to disperse the
crowd of adults. Angry cries came
from both groups Some of the
parents crowded into the school
offices.
The fighS- between the pupils
brought the first call for police.
Additional calls came when the
parents gathered.
Police said the fight really start
ed yesterday when the Negro pu-
pills came to school, jubilant over
the knockout of Max Baer by Joe
Louis.

To facilitate payment it is pro-
posed to establish a small admins
trative auditing unit in each state
in the same office where the cotton
contracts and Bankhead applica-
tons for allotment have been
handled and to have the Treasury
Department. make payments direct
from its various state disbursing Of

and producers should be reminded
mat 1t is subject to revision,
Another tentative proposal is the
suggestion that the price adjust
ment payments be made in not
more than three installments. 1t
is contemplated that the first pay
ment will be made about December
Is, 1895; another about March 13,
1896; and the final payment about
august Is, 1886.

District Assistant In Cotton
Adjustment

The following analysis of the
Cotton Price Adjustment Payment
plan of the Agricultural Adjustment
administration is for the informa-
ton Of cotton producers and the
cotton trade generally 1t is sug-
gested they arrange for the widest
possible distribution of this material
so that cotton growers and other
interested parties will understand
the plan and will assist in facili-
tating its execution by intelligent
cooperation.
1t might be well, however, to call
attention to portions of the plan
which are preliminary and subject
to revision. 1t should be made plain
that these particular phases of the
plan are tentative and may be
changed at later date.
The object of the plan is to as
sure producers, insofar as possible.
o return on the average of II cents
per pound, basis Is inch middling,
for their 1885 cotton crop sold prior
to August /, 1886.
The adjustment payment per
pound to each producer will be the
amount per pound by which the Of
ficial average base price on the 10
designated, spot cotton markets
Norfolk, Augusta, Savannah, Mont
gomery, Memphis, New Orleans,
Little Rock, Houston, Dallas, Gal
weston, is below u cents per pound
on the date Of sale of the cotton,
but in no case shall the payment
per pound exceed two cents. In
case the cotton is not sold by July

BE DELAYED UNTIL NOVEMBER

of the alleged victims of the at
tack which occurred in a railway
car here March 81, 1881. Mrs. Price
charged each of the nine defend
ants with criminal assault in the
warrants. Ruby Bates was the
other victim of the alleged attack.
The defendants are Haywood
Patterson, Clarence Norris, Charlie
Weems, Ozie Powell, Willie Rob-
ertson, Andy Wright and Olen
Montgomery. Two of the Negroes
named in the warrant have been
remanded to the jurisdiction of
the juvenile court. They are Roy
White and Eugene Williams.
In the four years that have
elapsed since the alleged attack the
cases have gone through three
Alabama court trials, resulting in
convictions and death sentences
which have been reversed twice by
the U. S. supreme court and once
by an Alabama trial judge.
In the fall of 1882 the u. S. su-
preme court reversed the death sem
tence convictions on the grounds
they had not had sufficient time
to prepare a defense. The follow
ing spring, Patterson was convict
ed a second time when tried at
Decatur on a change of venue. Cir
cult Judge James E. Horton gave
him another trial on the grounds
of insufficient evidence.
Convicted Third Time
Patterson's third conviction and
Norris second came in December,
1888, when they were tried before
Judge w w. Callahan at Decatur
after Horton excused himself. These
were the convictions reversed by
the U. s. supreme court in its most
recent decision.
At the first trial, Mrs. Price
identified the Negroes who she said
her and those who at
tackled her companion. Each Negro
denied the charge, but gave evi-
dence discriminating the others.
This testimony was repudiated
by Ruby Bates at Patterson's Sec
ond trial before Judge Horton.

points, white strict middling inch
cotton of the same growth was
bringing 125 points more than mid
ding q inch cotton. On this same
Gay white cotton of strict middling
grade and one inch staple length
was bringing 100 points more than
white middling Is inch at New Or
leans, 100 points more at Memphis,
and los points more at Houston and
Galveston.
Method Of Payment
Paymetns will be made through
out the cotton year based on the
amount of the producers cotton
sold up to and including July 81,
1886, which is not in excess of the
producers 1885 Bankhead allotment,
to each producer who is participant
ing in the 1885 Cotton Acreage Ad-
justment Program and who agrees
to participate in the 1885 Cotton
Adjustment Program. Producers
who before August l, 1896, sell cot
ton from their 1885 crop but who
do not have a Cotton Acreage Ad-
iustment Contract for 1885 or who
have not complied with such a con-
tract in 1885 may make application
for Cotton Price Adjustment Pay
ments based on the amount of their
cotton so sold which is not in eX-
cess of their 1885 Bankhead allot-
ments, but such payments cannot
be made to such a producer until
he has entered into and complied
in 1886 with a Cotton Adjustment
Contract. Applications based on
cotton sold prior to August l, 1886,
must be made not later than August
Is, 1886. Where the cotton is not
sold by July 81, 1886, but is on that
cate under the 10-cent loan, pay
ments will be made after July 81,
1886, to producers on the amount
of cotton which is, on July 81, 1886,
under such loan. but carrying
charges will be deducted from the
Imperial Valley press., 1935-09-26
REGULATIONS FOR COTTON PRICE
ADJUSTMENT PAYMENT PLAN TOLD

the 10-cent loan, a similar adjust
ment payment will be made in the
amount per pound by which the Of
ticial average base price on the 10
designated spot cotton markets is
below II cents per pound on July
81, 1896, less loan carrying charges.
but in no case shall the payments
per pound exceed two cents.
Cotton producers should be in
structed to insist upon receiving
from buyers the premiums due them
on cotton which is above average
in grade and staple length.
Producers Advised
Producers will lose if they sell
premium cotton for the price paid
for middling 7s inch cotton in the
belief the price adjustment pay
ment will compensate them for their
better grade and staple length.
For example, the average price
for white middling 7s inch cotton
in the 10 spot markets on Septem-
Der 10 was 1850 cents per pound. If
e producer sold on that day, the
government will pay him a diff
ference of lao cents per pound.
He would receive this payment of
lao cents per pound even if he sold
premium cotton on September 10
which brought him II cents a pound
or more.
AS a further example, official
quotations issued by the depart
ment of agriculture as of Friday
August 30, were to the effect that
at Carolina mill points white strict
middling inch cotton of Southeast
ern growths was bringing 125 to 1870
points more tran middling Is inch
cotton; and that at Alabama,
Genrpia and East TehneSSee mill

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, Sept. 90
No resumption of the notorious
Scottsboro assault trials is likely
before November Is, the United
Press has been informed. An
nouncement that new trials for de-
PENDANTS ordered by the U. S. su-
preme court probably would begin
early in October was made at
Montgomery recently by Lieut.
Gov. Thomas E. Knight, Jr., special
prosecutor of the cases.
1t has been learned that no new
jury rolls have been made out in
this (Jackson) county. The Negro
defendants in the case will be re-
tried at Decatur, Ala, in Morgan
county, but because of the supreme
court ruling they must be REIN
dicted in this county.
The court struck at the very
foundation of the case when it
ruled in effect the indictments
which accused the Negroes of
criminal assault upon two white
women were illegal because mem
, bers of their race had been sys-
tematically excluded from service
on the grand jury.
AS a result of this decision, Gov.
Bibb Graves wrote to every trial
judge and jury commission FORE
man in the state urging they re-
wise their jury lists to comply with
the supreme law of the land" This
revision has been underway in
many counties and has been virtu-
ally completed in Morgan county.
No official jury board has eX-
listed in Jackson county since jan
uary l, according to a reli2ble au-
thority. There has been only one
member of the board, and the law
requires at least two members be-
fore any work can be done.
Two other members recently were
appointed by the governor, but
have not yet received their commits
sions. Upon the receipt of their
commissions. the board will organ
1ze. Then they will be ordered by
Judge A. E. Hawkins to refill the
jackson county jury boxes. It is
believed this procedure will take
some three weeks.
Indictments Two Months Off
Even though a special grand
jury session probably will be called
when the jury list is completed, it
is believed it will be at least 60
days before the indictments can be
returned. Once the defendants are
indicted, the cases will go into the
court, where they were sentenced

after a change of venue.
The indictments will be based
on new warrants sworn early this
summer by Mrs Victoria Price, one

Connecticut democrats were sit- ting atop a volcano today with the eruption ready to occur at any time as result of President Roosevelts action yesterday in sending to the U. s.
