FORECAST 17,454,000 BALES THIS SEASON

[subheadline and first paragraph span columns 1-2]
This Exceeds All Previous
Crop Records By A Million
And Quarter, Report Shows

Washington, Oct. 25.—(AP)Predicting the largest cotton
crop ever grown the Department of Agriculture today placed the
indicated production at 17,454,000 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight. That is 827,000 bales more than indicated on October 1,
and exceeds the previous record crop bt more than a million and
and quarter bales.

[column 1]
Reports from all parts of the cotton
belt showed that production this
year is greater than had been expected
and that the yield of line cotton
per acre would be approximately 176.8
punds or 8.3 pounds more than in-
dicated on October 1. The heavy
yield combined with the largest acre-
age ever estimated resulted in the
huge production.

Extensive defoliation of the cotton
plants by the cotton worm, coupled
with warm weather has advanced
the maturing of the late boils and per-
mitted rapid picking, the department
said. Ginning to October 18 totalled
8,722,066 running bales compared
with 9,518,946 bales to that date last
year.

No Question Now
There is no question now that the
largest crop in the history off [of] the
country has been grown, said the
crop reporting board in commenting
on their report. "On the other hand
the low price and scarcity of pickers,
especially in the western part of the
belt, will probably result in the con-
siderable quantity of the lower
grades not being picked.

"The present estimate of 17,454,000
bales refers to the indicated total gin-
ings for this season and is subject to
some uncertainty with regard to how
much of the crop produced will be
harvested. Because of the low price
of cotton, farmers are discouraged

[article continued in column 2]

and may not be disposed to pick the
last remnant of the crop, even if they
can do so. In consequence of ele-
ments of uncertainty with regard to
the picking of the entire production
of cotton, the crop indicated on Oct-
ber 18, ginned and to be ginned may
vary somewhat from the final fig-
ure."

The forecast was based upon data
concerning condition probable [faded]
ginnings and other factors as of Oc-
tober 18, which indicated a yield of
approximately 176.7 pounds of [faded]
cotton per acre. No condition [faded]
was announced.

The previous report on indicated
production based on October 1 con-
dition, placed the crop at 16,627 [text faded]
bales and the acre yield at [text faded]
pounds. Last year's crop was [text faded]
103,679 bales and the acre yield [text faded]
pounds.

MUST USE THAT
RUBBER TIRE A
LITTLE LONGER

Punctures Must Also Be
Given Attention; Rubber
Imports to Decrease

Washington, Oct. 15—(AP)—The
punctured tire and blown inner rube
must be repaired again and use a lit-
le while longer. And this defense
measure on the part of United States
rubber consumers must be followed
successfully, the commerce depart-
ment reported today, against govern-
ment control which has been estab-
lished over the production and mar-
keting of eight other important com-
modities which must be purchased
from abroad of a total more than
11,000,000 annually.

Coincidentally with the summary
of the import situation E. G. Holt,
chief of the department's rubber div-
ision, came the announcement from
London that the Stephenson system
of restricting rubber exports from
Ceylon and Malava will continue for
at least another year from November
1, next, in an endeavor to maintain
prices. Under regulations, however,
it seems probable that the coming
three months will see a reduction of
the exportable rubber allowance from
the present 100 per cent to 80 per
cent. The average price for the cur-
rent quarter up to October 20, was
20.149 pence, and the average must
exceedd 21 pence to justify continu-
ance of the 100 per cent standards of
exports. Following the great success
achieved by the British rubber
monopoly, Holt said in his summary,
foreign governments have sought to
raise the price of long staple cotton,
camphor, coffee, iodine, nitrates, pot-
ash, mercury and Sisal, most of which
are essential to American industrial
activity. The United States is the
largest single national consumer of
all these.

SHAH OF PERSIA HAS
VERY NARROW ESCAPE

Teheran, Persia, Oct. 25.—(AP)—The
Shah of Persia today escape unin-
jured when an automobile which was
escorting him on a tour of the prov-
ince of Manzandaran was blown up
near Namavend. Several officers
were killed and two injured.

The automobile blown up was car-
rying arms, ammunition and bombs.
The cause of the explosion was not
apparent. The Shah continued on
his tour.

COOLIDGE TAKES
HAND IN POLITICS
OF THE BAY STATE

Writes Letter of Endorse-
ment For Butler and Fuller,
G. O. P. Candidates

Washington, Oct. 25—(AP)— The
political waters of the capital rippled
today in ever widening circles from
the impact of the latest element cast
into their midst—endorsing of Pres-
ident Coolidge of Senator William A.
ident Coolidge of Senator William A. [line of text is duplicated]
national committee, who is opposed in
the November elections in Massa-
chusetts by former Senator David I.
Walsh.

The pronouncement, the president's
first utterance on behalf of any Re-
publican candidate for office in the
upcominh elections, was contained
in a letter from the chief executive
which was made public by the Massa-
chusetts state committee. It also
praised Governor Alvan T. Fuller, a
candidate for relection on the Repub-
lican ticket and drew immediate fire
from Democratic leaders in the form
of a prediction by Chairman Oldfield
of the party's congressional cam-
paign committee, that the letter would

charged Mr. Coolidge with repudi
ating his previous stand and "inter-
ferance". Apparently the President,
Chairman Oldfield declared, "very very
much frightened at the prospect of the
defeat of Senator Butler and Governor
Fuller. When President Wilson
wrote a similar letter in 1918, the Re-
publicans were very much horrified."
The letter replied to a telegram
asking whether the President indent-
ed to cast his vote in his home city
of Northampton. The chief executive
wrote that he and Mrs. Coolidge plan-
ed to make the trup, but he had re-
quested to have absentee ballots sent
[text faded] for use in the event that he
could not return to Massachusetts to
vote in person.
"Of course, I want to vote for Sena-
tor Butler." the president wrote. He
is my friend. I know how faithful
he is. It was to him that I turned
to intrust the great and delicate tack
of conducting my presidential cam-
paign will long stand as a model of
wisdom, efficency and honest efforts.
It left him the natural choice for sen-
ator. He represents Massachusetts
ideals. . . .

HOME, ELEVATOR
OF NATION, SAYS
ATLANTA PASTOR

As Goes Up Or Down, So
Does the Nation, Rev.
Haughton Says

Atlanta, Oct. 25—(AP)—"The home
is the elevator of the nation. As it
goes up or down, so goes the nation."
said the Rev. Will R. Houghton, pas-
tor of the Baptist tabernacle here
last evening addressing his congrega-
tion assembled for the last of a series
of sermons on "love, marriage, and
the home."— There once was a time
when children knelt at their mothers'
knees to pray but now about [text faded] they
get there is a a lesson in anatomy." he
continued. Decrying the large num-
ber of divorces and the small number
of births in modern days, the taber-
nacle pastor said "what we need to
do is chloroform the poodle dog
and have children." Stating that 80
per cent of modern divorces were un-
contested and many obtained thru
fraud he declared "the crying need of
America today is uniform divorce
laws."

The pastor listed "ten helps for the
home" in his sermon.

They follow:

1— Don't reserve your good man-
ners for company. Your family en-
joy politeness too.
2— Do not quarrel in public. What
is the home for anyway?
3—A mother has no union to pro-
tect her from overwork and love is
her only only wage.
4—Teach your children obedience
in home so we can close some prisons.
5—Remember, if you wife has all
the religion, she will get all the
heaven.
6—Do not make mole-hill under-
standings into mountains, for moun-
tains are hard to climb.
7—If you want happiness, sell your
card table and buy a [illegible]
8—Do not expect too much of your
children. No doubt they take after
pa and ma.
9—Throw away your scrap book
and get a Bible—and read it every
day.
10—No home ever was defeated
that had a mutual love, mutual thrift,
mutual loyalty, mutual trust and
Christ.

ALLEDGED "KEY WITNESS"
IN MELLETT MURDER IS
CAUGHT BY DETECTIVES

Canton, Ohio, Oct. 25.—(AP)—For
three months while he was sought the
country over us the man having full
knowledge of the murder of Don R.
Mellett, Canton publisher, on July 16,
Patrick Eugene McDermott lived in
luxury in Cleveland.

Then his desire to see his mother
led him homeward and into the hands
of the law. Last night he was lodged
in the Stark county jail, the last of
the trio indicted for the murder to be
taken into custody. The other two,
Ben Rudnet of Massillon, Ohio, and
Louis Mazer of Canton, are awaiting
trial. Mazer goes on trial November
8 and Rudnet December 6. McDer-
mott was taken into custody yester-
day morning at Twin Rock [illegible] by
Ora Stater, Cincinnati detective, and
P. B. McClintock, Stark county prose-
cutor. He was captured in a trap laid
by his brothers, Tom and Bernard
who long ago promised Slater and Mc
Clintock that they would try to locate
him so he could tell his story, wha-
tever it might be. Mellet publisher of
the Canton News, was killed July 16.
He had received numerous threats
against his life because of his vigorous
campaign against vice and lawlessness
in Canton; and had attacked the Can-
ton police derpartment making
charges of unrestrained bootlegging
and crime. He was fired upon from
ambush as he put his car into the
garage in the rear of his home. Only
one of the three shots fired struck
him. It entered his brain and he fell
dead.

PROSECUTOR AND GRAND
JURY NOT IN ACCORD

Somerville, N. J., Oct. 25—(AP)—
Open warfare existed today between
the September grand jury of Somerset
county and State Senator Alexander
Simpson special prosecutor of the
Hall-Mills case. The jury will begin
consideration of evidence against per-
sons charged by the state with being
accessories to the double slaying and
then was ordered by the prosecutor to
postpone indefinitely the resumption
of the proceedings scheduled for to-
morrow, last ight took matters into
its own hands, and announced that
it would meet despite Simpson's
wishes to the contrary.
Simpson gave as his reason for the

ALLEDGED SLAYER OF
FIVE IS ON TRIAL

Meridian, Miss., Oct. 25. —(AP)—
Kinnie Wagner, notorious trick shot
expert and alleged slayer of five men,

here today on a charge of murdering
Murdock McIntosh, a Greene county
deputy sheriff.

The defendent entered as plea of not

MAN WHO FOUGHT HATTERS' UNION
IN LAST BATTLE

D. E. Loewe is Nearly Blind
and Almost Broke, Says
The World

New York, Oct. 25—(AP)—Dietrich
E. Loewe, the Hatter of Danbury,
Conn., who became famous twenty
years ago, when he fought in the
courts, labor unions that boycotted
his goods because he would not union-
ize his shops, is wagining his last fight,
the New York World says today. "Old
Man Loewe," as he is known to his
fellow townspeople is 74 years old,
nearly blind and broke. His last bat-
tle is to keep from creditorship his
factory, now bare, but which used to
employ 250 men and his home. Both
are heavily mortgaged. When Mr.
Loewe staged his finish fight with the
unions more than 20 years ago he
won a $240,000 verdict against the
Hatters' Union and the American Fed-
eration of Labor which was upheld
by the United States supreme court.
He collected every penny of it, be-
cause of a boycott.

To get his money Mr. Loewe levied
attachments against the homes and
bank accounts of his former em-
ployes. He was much criticized at
the time, but the American Federation
of Labor took up collections thruout
the country and the workmen's homes
were saved. The hatter has never
regretted his step, and the workment
learned to respect him as a man and a
fighter.

Last April, Mr. Loewe's business
reached the point where bankruptcy
seemed the only eway out. Thre
friends, forming a creditors commit-
tee raised $90,000 among themselves
and made a settlement at 10 cents on
the dollar. All but one creditor
agreed and he was paid off at a
higher price.
The three men, Charles D. Parkes,
Charles A. Mallory and Arthur Twee-
dy are still out their $90,000, but
believe they will be reimbursed. They
are again trying to assist their old
friend.

ATTORNEY KILLS
FIVE OF FAMILY

The Commits Suicide; Was
Formerly U. S. District At-
torney

Marion, Ills., Oct. 25—(AP)—Worry
over financial reverses, ill health and
the loss of his position as United
States district attorney four months
ago are ascribed as the reasons for a
sudden fit of insanity late Saturday
night that drove W. O. Potter, 56,
porminent Southern Illinois attorney
to kill five of his family and then
end his own life.

After his victims had retired, Pot-
ter crushed the skull of each, one of
them a baby three weeks old, with a
furnace shaker, and then ended his
own life by hurling himself into a
cistern at the rear of his home.

The bodies were found by a son,
Morris Potter, 26, who returned sev-
eral hours later from a trip to a
neighboring town.

Testimony before a coroner's jury,
which yesterday returned a verdict of
murder and suicide brought out that
Potter, who served part of his term
as United States district attorney at
East St. Louis under Federal Judge
English, now facing impeachement
proceedings, brooded under the belief
that his official actions were under in-
vestigation as well as those of the
judge.

NEWBERRY COLLEGE
TO GET ATTENTION

Richmond, Va., Oct. 25—(AP)—De-
tails of a two year survey of Luth-
eran colleges to be undertaken imme-
diately by a commission of the board
of education of the church were given
the fifth biennial convention of the
United Lutheran church in America

location, equipment, finances, admin-
istration and curicular of the twenty-
nine junior colleges and academies of
the church and will work out a uni-
fied educational program for the fu-
ture developent of higher educa-
tional institutions.

The board also reported the merger
of Summerland college and Newberry
College in South Carolian under a
single board of trustees. Attention
will be concentrated on Newberry
College but certain courses for young
women will be continued at Summer-
land. Site for a Lutheran College for
Women, which has long been under
consideration has been selected in the

SAYS MURDER MAY
RESULT FROM CAR
CAUSING A DEATH

Judge Shipp Defines Differ-
ence Between Manslaught-
er and Murder in Address-
ing County Grand Jury

A person who takes the life of a
fellow man thru the reckless use of
an automobile may be found guilty of
murder on account of his flagrant
disregard of the rights of others on
the highway, Circuit Judge S. W.
G. Shipp of Florence, said in the Oc-
tober term of General Sessions Court
which convened here Monday morn-
ing for a three weeks term.

Judge Shipp was at that time ex-
plaining to members of the grand jury
the meaning of the various charges
submitted them in bills of indictment
handed out by Solicitor J. G. Leatherwood.

"In driving an automobile on a
public highway," Judge Shipp said,
"one must always recognize the rights
of others to be on the highway. The
automobile is a very dangerous thing
and, when a man drives his auto-
mobile so recklessly as to show that
he utterly disregards the rights of
others, the court and the jury have
the right to infer that his mind was
malicious, he had that wicked intent
which is necessary to sustain a charge
of premeditated murder. When such
is the case the driver of the car is
guilty of murder.

"If, one the other hand, the driver
of an automobile which takes a life
is simply grossly careless and not
reckless, he is then guilty of crim-
inal negligence and therefore, in the
eyes of the law, guilty of manslaugh-
ter."

Judge Shipp— complimented the
grand jury upon the expedition with
which it executed the work before it
at the last term of court and said that
he thought it unnecessary to deliver
the legal meanings of the charges set
forth on the indictments handed out
by the solicitor and instructed the jury
to retire to the offices in the court
house.

SEVEN CONVICTS
HURT IN BATTLE

They Had Attempted to
Escape From the Missouri
State Prison

Jefferson City, Mo., Oct. 25—(AP)—
Seven convicts, two of whom are be-
lieved to be dying, were in the pri-
son hospital here today suffering from
buckshot wounds and three guards
and a negro trusty were recovering
from minor injuries received when
the prisoners attempted to escape
from Missouri state penitentiary yes-
terday.

Armed with knives, the prisoners
attacked and overpowered J. T.
Wynes, and A. C. Wekenborg, cell
house guards and after securing a
pistol from Wynes, leaped thru a win-
dow to a corridor leading to the tu-
berculosis hospital. Here they at-
tacked L.T. Freeman, another guard
who was stabbed in the shoulder be-
fore the covicts obtained his pistol.
A negro trusty who tried to aid
Freeman was stabbed after he knock-
ed one of the men down with a chair.

The prisoners then opened fire on
other guards, and trusties who ap-
peared in the corridor and ran to the
South stockade, where two of them
were shot down by wall guards using
riot guns loaded with buckshot. The
rest were sprinkled with shot as they
retreated to a shirt factory. The five
convicts were taken from the factory
building after a two hour siege in
which tear gas was used without ef-
fect.

"MISSISSIPPI" WAS
TOO MUCH FOR HER

Queen Marie Could Not Pro-
nounce It; Leaves On
Western Tour

New York, Oct. 25—(AP)—Queen
Marie, of Rumania, today was aboard
the rolling palace of ten special rail
way cars that will be her home for
the two months of her western tour.

Leaving New York at 7:50 a. m.
she is due at Buffalo at 8 p. m., she
will make a radio talk here from
station WGR, and will leave Buffalo
for Niagra Falls early tomorrow
morning. Her itinerary today called
for two, ten minute stops, one at Al-
bany at 1:20 p. m. and the other at
Syracuse at 4:30 p. m.

Queen Marie, with her children,
Prince Nicholas and Princess Ileana,
and her retinue boared the train at
Grand Central station at midnight
after attending a benefit performance
at the Metropolitan opera house of
an interpretation of the "Lilly of
Life" a fairy tale written by the
queen.

Forty-eight women, one from each
state in the union have received
greetings from the queen in her own
handwriting for the citizens of their
states.

Queen Marie presented the greet-
ings at a luncheon given by Mr. and
Mrs. Ira Nelson Morris at the Bilt-
more.

She had difficulty in [pronouncing]
the names of the some of the states as
she gave out the tributes. She at-
tempted "Mississippi" several times
then gave up, saying "too many dou-
ble letters. They always give me
trouble."

NEW YORK WATER
SUPPLY IS LOW

New York, Oc. 25.—(AP)—The
York city water supply is seriously
threatened by the subterranean cracks
which are slowly draining the $160,
000,000 Ashokan reservoir in the
Catskill mountains, the New York
Tribune says today. The reservoir
is 12 miles long and three miles wide.
A recent survey, it says, supports the
theory that millions of gallons from
the huge basin are seeping away thru
the veins, and thence to the surface
again in the adjacent water courses. The
reservoir, described as rivaling the
Panama Canal as an engineering
achievement, is virtually empty.
There has been no lack of rain, how-
ever, and feed streams are flush bank
to bank. The water supply in the
reservoir is low at present; in spots
flowers are growing.

REED SAYS INDIANA
G. O. P. CHAIRMAN HAS
BEEN "DISCREDITED"

Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 25—(AP)—
Chairman Reed of the Senate funds
committee declared here today that
the investigation of Indiana politics
"prove conclusively that the chair-
man of the Republican state commit-
tee put out a deliverate falsehood
and he was fully discredited."

He said that the state was flooded
with money. Senator Reed added
but the money turned out to be a lot
of cheap pamphlets. "That gentle-
man and his stories were left sus-
pended in the air."

Senator Reed's statement about the
Indiana Republican chairman, Clyde
A. Walb was made after he had de-
nied he had stated at Indianapolis last
Friday that the Indiana inquiry was
furnishing only "chaff." He was
quoted by the Indianapolis News as
having made such a statement.
