COTTON GROWERS WRONG,
SAYS ROBT. M. THOMPSON
Man Who Heads Syndicate Which
Proposed to Loan Money on Cot-
ton Says Farmers Will Lose
Washington.—Robert M. Thompson,
of New York, head of the syndicate
which proposed to advance $r>0,000,000
for the purpose of handling the south-
ern cotton crop, blames the southern
planter for the delay fn putting the
Bcheme into effect. He declared that
the syndicate had already made ar-
rangements to proceed with the plan
which meant everything to the south-
ern planter.
"We didn't reject the plan," he de-
clared, "it was the south which re-
jected it, and the southern farmers
are opposed to it only because they
do not understand it. They will have
to be educated into the knowledge that
our scheme is not a speculative pne
as they have been led by certain in-
terested parties In the south to be-
lieve.
"We would be willing today to put
through the plan which we proposed
some time ago to the committee of the
south which met in New York and
talked over the proposition. We are
not trying to urge the south to accept
something it does not want, but if it
should appoint a committee and send
it to us we would see to it that the
plan we suggested was put through.
"As it 1b, a number of individual
farmers of the south have expressed
their desire to have us handle their
cotton. This will be a lesson which
will show the rest of the south just
what we intended; and it is probable
that by next year others will be will-
ing to fall in with the scheme.
"The southern cotton farmers this
year will lose $300,000,000, and the
trouble is that at least $200,000,000 of
this will go abroad. The whole coun-
try, not only the south, will be the
loser by the south's refusal to accept
the economic proposition we submit-
ted."
Will Not Extradite Reyes
Houston, Tex.—Acting upon the ad-
vice of the attorney general, United
States Judge Lock McDaniel, district
attorney for the southern district of
Texas, announced that he will aban-
don his efforts to extradite General
Bernardo Reyes from Mexico for trial
in this country on t-7o charges of al-
leged violation of the neutrality laws.
CITY LIABLE FOR DAMAGE
CAUSED BY MOB VIOLENCE
United States Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision In Case Result-
ing from Chicago Strike
Washington, D. C.—As a result of a
decision by the supreme court the city
of Chicago probably will be compelled
to pay out $425,500 in damages to rail-
roads and other corporations whose
property was destroyed in the Debs
strike riots of 1894.
The court upheld the constitution-
ality of the Illinois statute making
cities and villagess liable for three-
fourths of the damagt to property re-
sulting from mob violence. Frank
Sturges sued the city for damages to
his building, occupied by the Kellogg
Switchboard company, the injury to
the structure-resulting from the at-
tack of a mob during the strike of the
employes of that company in July,
1903. SturgesB was awarded damages
by the Illinois courts, but the city
appealed on the contention that the
Illinois statute was invalid.
In an opinion written by Associate
Justice Lurton it was declared that
the statute represented a valid exer-
cise of the police power of the state.
Not only will the city be compelled
to pay Sturges for - the injury to his
property but the fate of other suits
against the municipality will be de-
termined by the decision. Following
the Debs railway strike riots in Chi-
cago, some of the railroads sued the
city to recover three-fourths of the
value of the cars, buildings and other
equipment which were burned by the
rioters.
The Pennsylvania and two or three
other roads pushed the suits and final
adjudication in the state courts and
the city was defeated. Now that the
supreme court has decided the law
constitutional, it is expected the rail-
roads will demand the enforcement of
the judgments in their favor. Large
amounts of damages also are involved
Two Teachers Killed
Bucyrus, Ohio.—Miss Katherine
Scott of this place and Miss Pearl
Schlater of Lexington, Ohio, school
teachers, both aged 21, were instantly
killed at a street crossing here when
struck by a Pennsylvania train. The
teachers were driving in a buggy and
attempted to beat the train across the
track.
E CATTLE
ARE SUFFERERS
COLD SNAP OVER SOUTHWEST
CAUSES STARVATION
RUSHING FOOD SUPPLIES
Blizzard Covers Whole Soutnweste.n
Section and Puts Railroad
Traffic and Telegraph
Lines Out of Order
Oklahoma City—"Going down" was
the substance of reports from the local
weather bureau all day long Saturday,
and while there were slight attempts
a> snow, now and then, while at other
times only the bleak, chill wind was
in the air, the mercury kept dropping,
dropping, dropping. At 7 o'clock Sat-
urday morning, the thermometer was
"clear up" to 19 above, the "hottest"
of the day, while at 7 in the evening
it had been forced gradually down
ward until it hovered at 11 above.
The storm is general over the so lth-
weBt and as the ground is covered
with a solid Bheet of frozen Know and
Bleet, the situation is bad all over
this portion of the country. Trains
are late; telephone and telegraph
wires are being gradually put out of
commission, and the big ranchers of
the Panhandle country aro in des-
perate straits.
Traffic officials report that the Okla-
homa cotton seed men received scores
of rush orders Saturday for cjtton
meal cakes from the big ranchers of
the Panhandle. That big cattle dis-
trict is frozen as solid as an icecake.
There is, temporarily, no such thing
as grazing and ranches that ordinarily
carry through the winter thousands
of head of beef cattle are facing the
stern Issue of a complete food deple-
tion. The railroads are accumulating
cotton seed meal as rapidly as pos-
sible and teams are worked day and
night transporting food supplies over
the slippery roads from the stations
to the ranches. On account of the
Buddenness of the freeze, the bad con-
dition of the roads, the short available
supply and the necessity of it having
to be transported from the Oklahoma
mills, it is feared that the cattle death
list will be heavy.
Not Bad in Oklahoma
In Oklahoma the cattle ranges aro
small and for some time have been on
a winter feeding basis. The home
situation, therefore, is regarded as pos-
sessing no panicky elements and very
little loss is expected.
Saturday night was one of the cold-
est in southwestern Oklahoma during
the last seven years. The snow and
sleet of Friday night has covered the
ground with a sheet of ice, making it
almost impossible for pedestrians to
walk the streets. Old-timers say that
It is just what is necessary for the
wheat and that it will kill out the in-
sects that have ravaged the fields for
the past two growing seasons. Scat-
tered reports from other sections of
the state and the adjacent states show
that the cold wave is general, and that
people are suffering in many cqmmu-
nities.
Want Clean Money
Baltimore, Md.—Officials of the Bal-
timore clearing house are preparing a
letter which will be sent within a few

Crude Oil Will Sell for $1.35
Pittsburg—Announcement has been
made by the Joseph Seep Purchasing
agency, now the buying power of the

independent producers to $1.35 a bar

Oklahoma City.—T. C. Beller has
presented the Oklahoma Historical
society with a riflle which was taken
by him from the house of Chito Harjo,

Crazy Snake uprising in 1909. The
weapon is an interesting piece of
mechanism. On the brass mounting
of the stock Is stamped "Daniel
Boone, 1710." It Is difficult to say
what whim was pleased by this as
Danie! Boone lived from 1785 to 1822
and the gun is of a more modern pat-
tern than those made at that time,
Washington—Week-end tourists who
want to go back to the folk with photo-
graphs labeled Washington, showing
President Taft in the act of shaking
them by the hand or in earnest con-
versation with them, got an unexpect-
ed Christmas present from Mr. Taft
In which he put the official ban on
these "fake photos." Several days ago
a Pennsylvania avenue photographer,
whose window exhibit contains many
photographs of Mr. Taft in the act
of shaking hands with various citizens
whom he probably never met, was in-
formed by United States Attorney
| Wilson to elave Mr. Taft out of such
picture in the future.
The protographer appealed to the
White House but the president upheld
Mr. Wilson.
In a recent decision of the supreme
court held that photographs were a
person's own property.
