COTTON HIGHER
Moderate Demand Stimulat*
ed By Dry Weather
Through Belt
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 5.—(>Pv—
Cotton price? opened higher today
under a moderate demand stimu-
lated by continued dry weather in
the belt. First trades showed ad-
vances of 7 to 9 points and in the
absence of Liverpool cables that
market remaining closed in contin-
uation of the “bank clerks’ holiday”
prices here continued steady for a
time after the start. Later how-
ever. further liquidation in advance
of the government report entered
th emarket and the early gain was
soon lost. October sold down to
18.78. December 1888 and January
19.02. or 11 to 13 points down from
the highs and 4 to 5 points below
Saturday's close.
N. Y. COTTON
NEW YORK. Aug. 3—The
cotton market opened steady today
at an advance of 3 to 5 points on
! buying promoted by reports of con-
tinued hot weather In the south-
west. but the demand was limited
and prices soon weakened under
: realizing or liquidation.
October contracts sold off from
19.04 to 18 88 and March from 19 45
to 19.32 by the end of the first half
hour making net declines of about
6 to 10 points.
A private report was published
placing the condition of the crop at
70.0 per cent and the indicated yield
at 15.378.000 bales which was very
closely in line with the average of
the private reports published last
week.
Owing to the holiday there were
no cables from Liverpool where the
market will reopen for business to-
morrow.
The market eased off to 18.82 for
October and 19.28 for March later
in the morning or about 14 to 15
points net lower. There was enough
i buying at these figures to absorb
i the immediate offerings and cause
‘ rallies of a few points.
At midday trading was quiet with
the active months showing net de-
clines of 6 to 12 points.
Two more private crop reports
were issued one of them making
the condition 69.5 and the indicated
yield 15.442.000 while the other
placed the condition at 69.4 and the
indicated yield at 15390.000 bales.

counsel table as Long was called.
They were O. Urbane manager of a
Columbus chemical laboratory and
his assistant. J. M. Miller.
The defense continued Long’s
cross examination interrupted by
adjournment Saturday. John F.
Seidel of defense counsel had Long
repeat some of the details of his
examination of the vital organs of
Miss Theora Hix for whose killing
Dr. Snook Is on trial.
Long launched into a long tech-:
nical explanation of the tests.
Seidel questioned Long as to the
accuracy of the test by which he
said he determined that spots on
Dr. Snook’s clothing the hammer
with which he is alleged to have
killed the girl and on his automobile
were caused by human blood.
“Isn't it a fact.” Seidel asked
“that the leading authorities are at
wide variance in their opinion as
to the accuracy of this test wnen
the test is delayed several days par-
ticularly in warm weather?”
Test Accurate
"The test is accurate so long as
there Is a sufficient amount of blood
to make the test.” Long replied.
Seidel took Long through a close
examination on the tests he made
on two dogs to determine thdr re-
action to a concoction taken from
Miss Hix’s stomach. Long testified
Saturday that his use of the dogs
assisted in determining that an
►emotional excitant was in the girl's
stomach.
The attorney wanted to know If
Long had found any antennae In
the girl’s stomach from an insert
used in preparing the excitant the
state alleges Dr. Snook gave her.
Long replied positively that he
had found such antennae. He added
that he had also isolated with a
microscope the wings body and legs
of the insect.
Paper Also Found
Long said he took a small piece
of paper from Miss Hix’s stomach.
Later he went to a rood side stand
rear the New York Ontral Rifle
range where the etrl was killed and .
bought a sandwdeh.
He said he then romnared the
naner in the stomach with the hag
in which the sandwich was delivered
and found them identical.
Chester hod Long identify a piece
of waste found near the death scene
which contained a few strands of
hair.
"Did you compere the hair in the
waste with Mias Hix's hair?” Ches-
ter asked.
"I did: microscopically they were!
identical." the witness replied.
Lone was excused and John Me- i
Ktnnon. a reporter identified the
gloves on which Long found blood j
stains as coming from Dr Snook’s
coupe. He also identified a rap.
blood stained as being discovered in
Dr. Snooks h^me and said hB had]
seen stains on the Inside of the pro-
fessor's car.
BISHOP DENIES

subject of Constant attack by the
•wet' secular and Roman Catholic
1 press "
Of the food profiteering charge
the bishop says "of course this had
no bearing whatever upon the bc-
trayaitraval of the democratic party
on the prohibition question by Al-
fred E. Smith but slander is one of
the favorite weapons of unprincipled
politicians.”
Denies Profiteering
He declared she tried "vainly to
imd someone who nad publicly
sponsored the charge.” and then
cites the statement of the trustees of
the Blackstone (Va) College for
girls saying they were “fully ac-
quainted with the facts” concerning
his purchase of flour in 1917 while
president of the institution to safe-
guard Its food budget for the ap-
proaching term.
The attemnt at "political intimi-
dation” on the basis of his stock
market transactions he declared
was begun during the 1928 cam-
paign but was discontinued for
seven months until his activities in :
the current Virginia campaign be- j
gan.
“I am being continually attacked
as using by Episcopal office for
purely political purposes.” he said
“This statement is flatly fa’se. I
have never desired nor have I ever
had political control of Virginia. I
never desired nor have I ever had
political control of Virginia I have
ns the representative of the moral
forces of the state insisted upon the
nassage of certain legislation end
In the selection of officers who favor
and maintain that legislation but I
have never at any time interfered in
anv matters retaining to purely
political activities.”
Again assailing the attitude of
various newspapers toward his ac-
tivities. he said "the people of Vir-
ginia and of the nation well know
that the newspapers are not ani-
mated by a holy seal for moral bet-
terment. but that their only purpose
is to wipe (me» off the slate by fair
means or foul.'”

Formulation and presentation to

defended and attacked. The pres-

it fills one of the country's greatest
needs and is one of the outstanding

Fort Worth Protests
Four Cent Gas Tax
FORT WORTH Tex. Aug. 5.—(IP)
—Possibility that the city oi Fort
Worth would present a test case
in connection with the new four
cent state gasoline tax law arose
today with the announcement by
City Manager Carr that the city
council might be asked to approve
such a move.
The city has objected to paying
the tax on gasoline used on gaso-
line used by the municipality. It
holds that the state has no right
to tax a city and that the tax. as
it applies to municipal gasoline l1;
unconstitutional.
It is tentatively planned to pur-
chase a quantity of gasoline in
Oklahoma. This it was pointed out
would cause the state to file suit
for collection of the tax if it ex-
pected to collect the money.
Present supply of municipal gas-
oline is sufficiently targe to mak?
unnecessary any additional pur-
chase until early in September it
was said.
The city manager estimated that
the tax (here on municipally used
gasoline would approximate $15-
000 a year.
