HESTER, IN STATEMENT SENT
AM, DEFENDS FIGURES AND
CHARGES U.S. INJURES SOUTH BULLETIN
AUSTIN, Oct. 19.—(UP)—Indicated supply warrants a
cotton price of 22.46c, according to I)r. A. B. Cox, director
of the bureau of business research. An analysis of the cot-ton
situation was issued by Dr. Cox today based on the as-sumption
that the demand will equal the average demand
for the past seven years.
The department of agriculture, in making its recent es-timates
of the cotton supply, sanctioned figures of the Man-
Chester Federation of Spinners, which “has been and from
all appearances always will be inimical to southern cotton
growers,” according to Col. H. G. Hester, secretary of the
New Orleans cotton exchange, in a statement received yes-terday
by the Agricultural Development association.
Whether Hester’s figures or the government figures on
carryover are right or wrong is not the issue, says the New

CARPENTER TO
SERVE 7 YEARS
The closing chapter on Clark Car-penter’s
activity for at least seven
years was written by court of crim-
Inal appeals at Austin this morning.
His 5-year sentence for burglary was
affirmed. Last week a 2-year verdict
was upheld.
M- Burton proved the nemesis for
Clark. By a trick of fate Burton en-countered
him one night late, fixing
a tire along the Mart road. When
Burton heard next morning the Hayes
Battery and Service garage at Mart
had been robbed he pinched Clark
and proved it on him.
PARDON USELESS
AUSTIN, Oct. 19.—(UP)—Par-don

AA'rotc Tills Story
IHAA’E just interviewed the
King!
And what a King! „■
From a female of the species,
take it that this year's Royal
Court of King Cotton will be
presided over by the kingiest
king ever.
But concerning the Royal Tit-for-
Tat.
Gets the Majestic Ear
Gaining the Majestic ear ovef
the telephone, a plea with his
Highness for a Hobnob, and
then—
“Why certainly. You just suit
your own convenience. I’ll be in
the office all day.”
That voice over the telephone!
We found it suiting our con-venienco
to make our bow just
as soon as the Plebeian hair could
be smoothed down and the Com-moner’s
hat donned.
His Nibs was attired in the re-gal
tan shirt sleeves, sitting in
an office chair without so much
as a festive wreath draped over
the throne, and grinning as mon-archs
do very seldom. There was

something about his appearance
—oh yes; Iron gray hair, with
a face beneath about as lined
and careworn as a college grad-uate’s.
The Sovereign’s appear-ance
couldn’t' be improved, a
subject secretly decides.
Oh well, it was meant to be
secretly. AA’e couldn’t help if it
showed.
‘It’ Lots of It
“Do you have much ‘It?’
Enough to assure you that you’ll
carry off this King business all
right?” was the somewhat su-perfluous
inquiry directed at the
King.
“I should say so! Do you
know—” His Highness leaned
forward confidentially — "I’m
just lousy with It. It just posi-tively
radiates from me.”
“Aha!” we agreed. “And how
do you like being King?” The
question had to come. AA’e tried
to avoid it, but. it sneaked up and
leaped out unexpectedly. We
knew before the words were
spoken what to expect. The King
would look bored, yawn a slight
trifle behind the Monarchical
palm and murmur that he didn’t
care much for it, hut supposed
it had to be gone through.
But lo!
“Fine. I’m really enjoying it,” this
surprising sovereign remarked. “I
helped stage the first coronation
back in 1913 when Edward Rotan
was king, and I’ve kinda taken a
hand in all of them. I had had a lit-tie
experience in the show business
that made me interested.”
Sli! He Was on the Stage
We mentally decided that he prob-ably
held a show in the upstairs of
his barn one time and charged two
royal pins for it, from the casual
way be mentioned the “show bust-ness.”
It was to our surprise later
on in the hobnob, to discover that
His Kighness Holt has been on the
stage in New York.
“Heeding the call of art,” Holt
termed it, with another unmajestlc
grin. He evidently heeded the call of
a good many other things when he
was quite a callow youth. Rex was
a member of Baylor’s first football
team in 1907, when the boys rushed
out to joust behind noseguards and
other funny contraptions. The Royal
Ribs shook with glee as he recalled
the day that the coach had started
the team on a trot out to Day’s lake
—now Spring lake—on a hot Sep-tember
day.
“He was a Yankee, and September
was fall to him. regardless of a 90
degree temperature here. I was
among those not present—who fell
in the fall—when they limped up to
the lake. I think I had. fallen by a
wayside tree a good many miles
back.” the King recalled. He re-called
other memories of stories and
co-eds at Baylor but in no detail
whatsoever.
Took the Royal Spill
This Palace Pharoah also served
In the army. It came to light when
he admitted that when It came to
mounting a prancing charger and
hieing himself off on affairs at state,
he was not such a much.
“By the time I had ridden a bunch
of artillery horses around with some
cannons hitched, to them, I lost my
taste for equine knick knacks,” he
confessed.
• It appears that King Massey en-listed
in the air service, but suf-fered
a crash in Dallas that would
have put him out of service if he
hadn’t gone into another branch.
The Noble Nibs plans to have his
own airplane soon, he says, for
Royal take-offs, personal, pleasure
and business.
As for swinging a grandiose golf
stick or holding a hand of bridge.
His Stately Sublimity says nothing
doing. There’s something about the
golf game that hasn’t grabbed the
Ermine, and he ridicules the claim
that it’s exercise. Bridge is his pet
antipathy—about his only one.
He has other interesting personal
characteristics—likes okra, ate snails
with a relish in France, and loves to
travel.
Pursues the Finny
In addition, His Highness is quite
a pursuer of fish and game. He has

wall a stuffed fish caught in the
north and carried it out to his

in his business sanctum a farmed

owns.
They say Rex, the old thing. Is
certain destruction with a gun in his
hands. No bull’s eye in the world
has ever lived to tell the story.
The king confesses to one weak-ness.
He can’t read sitting up. Re-gardless
of the fact that reading in
bed is supposed to ruin Royal eyes,
he’s carried his Saturday Evening
Post and Liberty to bed many a
night and got up the next morning
to fell a quail with a single shot. He
likes Conrad and reads a good deal,
goes out and .smokes a cigaret when
opera is being sung, but gets a front
seat for the Follies. You know \is
Kings will be Kings.
But the last and crudest blow for
the debutantes and aspirants to
regal favor! Domestic bliss is his
Kingly paradise.
Ah! Ilal The Debs Lose
“From 8 a. in. Monday until 8 p.
m. Friday I do what the family
wants me to ,” he explains as the
stately solving of Majestic Matri-mony.
"From then on until Monday,
I do as I please—which means chas-ing
fish or shooting game. It’s
worked fine, so far.”
The Hob Knob ended. AVhy fur-ther

thus is such queenly favor?

FALL LAUDED
BY LITTLETON

That Clients Were Pa-triots
Aiding Navy De-fense

AVASHINGTON, Oct. ID.—(UP)
—The Fall-SIncIair oil conspiracy
jury of two women and 10 men
was told today by the defense
chief, Martin Littleton, that Harry
Sinclair “never passed a bond to
Albert B. Fall.”
Martin AV. Littleton, in an ad-vance
summation of the case for
the two noted defendants,, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the
government, did the following:
/4, Credited Admiral J. K. Rob-ison,
naval oil chief, as originator
of the oil leasing plan under
which Tdapot Dome and Elk Hills
were leased.

share of stock In the Continental
“Trading company, the alleged
source of $230,500 of Liberty
bonds found in Fall’s possession
following the execution of the Tea-pot
lease.
Developing his thesis that Fall
and Sinclair were patriots aiding

offered to show that the oil leases
were born of a great national de-fense
plan.

is that it will be either

At That, Though, Texas’
Lieut. Governor, in Ac*
tion in Waco Court,
Knows His Okra
Texas’ lieutenant governor, Barry
Miller, is in action In a Waco court-room.
He is one of the attorneys for
the plaintiff in the suit of W. A. Haley
vs. the I.-G. N. railway. Not only has
the lieutenant governor a sense of
humor, but he is endowed with the
courage of a healthy animal.
Seeing Barry Miller in action on his
private business is a treat. This morn-ing,
among the amusing tricks he
pulled was one which made even
Judge Sam R. Scott grin.
Weary of Questions
The lieutenant governor, it seems,
got weary of certain questions repeat-ed
and repeated by the opposing law-yer.
Finally, he held a whispered con-ference
with the judge then returned
to a chair near Senator Edgar Witt’s.
“I just asked the judge if I could
kick that lawyer, but he hinted that he
would have to put me in jail so I
guess I can't do it,” the lieutenant
governor said.
Wore Shell Bims
He wore a dark blue suit with a
pin stripe in it, a soft felt hat, white
shirt and. striped tie. He did not re-move
his shell-rimmed glasses during
the entire morning. Several times, he
arose from his chair as if to stop
some of the proceedings, but he would
then stand on one foot, dangle or
shake the other foot, smile at W. E.
Terrell, then sit down again.
When questioning witnesses, how-ever,
Barry Miller’s whole attitude
changed. His face became a picture of
all earnestness .and he forgot all sug-gestion
of fun or foolishness. When he
felt that the opposing lawyer was
asking, too many questions or was tak-ing
a slightly unfair advantage of a
witness, he objected.
Same Question 40 Times
'’Your honor, this lawyer has asked
that same question 40 times,” he de-dared
one time. He was standing di-recLly
behind ‘this lawyer’ and as If
to hold him in the chair, Miller placed
his hand on top of the lawyer’s head.
All of which amused and pleased the
12 jurymen who seemed very much in*
terested in the lieutenant governor. Mr.
Miller will probably be here all this
week, he thinks.
