Asks For Body.
A message has been received by the
family of Richand J. Baker, a promi
nent El Peso building contractor, that
he had met death by an accident which
occurred Friday at the plant of the
Guanajuata Development company, at
Guanajuato, ilex., where he has been
employed for two years. In spite of
telegraphic appeals by the widow and
children, who live at 809 Myrtle ave
nue, no assurance of the disposition of
the body has been received.
Three telegrams told of the injury
to Mr. Baker's chest by a fall, of .his
critical condition, and the last of his
death at 11:30 Saturday morning. In
response to a message from the com
pany management stating that inter
ment would be attended to, the family
demanded that the body be shipped to
El Paso, or at least Juarez. But no
answer has arrived, either from the
mining officials or the American con
sul, who was also notified.
If no word Is received today the be
reaved family, the widow, two daugh
ters, and a son will depart tonight
for Guanajuato, a more than two days'
lourney. Grief at the death is being

COTTON.
Market Steady.
New York, N. Y., July 11. The cot
ton market was very steady during the
first part of the session, the traders
being more and more influenced by
the strengthening- position of the new
crop. There seems to be no material
improvements in the conditions over
the entire belt and the daily develop
ments seem to induce nll lower esti
mates of the crop. The mercantile crop
l ronnrt sa.vs that the total crop Is irac-
tionally less than 12,000,000 bales indi
cated. The condition in Texas is not
satisfactory. A prominent authority in
the special report on Texas says the
plant is small but is generally doing
well, and that all sections -of the state
need rain and some need it badly.
Speaking of cotton mills in North Caro
lina, John A. Daw, ' president of the
Saxon mills, at Spartanburg, S. C, one
of the largest spinning districts in
the south, says there will be the larg
est curtailment of cotton mills this
summer that has ever been known.
"V Cotton Quiet.
New Orleans, X.a., July 11. The
prices of cotton In both divisions of
the Liverpool market today are low
and a quiet tone is reported. Changes
in futures on this side are small, but
from one to three points above the
close on Saturday. The market Is not
particularly active and the volume
of trade was small throughout the ses
sion. The weather conditions show no
particular change.
Spots Quiet.
Liverpool. Eng., July 11. The trade
in spot cotton .here today was quiet
and while the sales are estimated at
5000 bales, the turnover was made on a
basis of two English points lower at
7.97d for American middlings, or $15.94
in American values. The imports were
1000 bales, including S00 American.

Committee Considers Buy
ing Overland Street Prop
ertv for the Site.
J. U. Sweeney, chairman of the hotel
committee -which has been completing
plans for the financing of a hotel pro
ject, has issued a call for a mass meet
ing' of property owners and merchants
at the chamber of commerce Wednesday
evening, July 20. Letters are being
sent out to the men who are interested
In the movement for a first class, mod
ern hotel In xaso. No subscriptions
are to be asked for at this meeting and
no bonus is to be raised. All the com
mittee will ask Is for an expression -ol-opinion
as to the desirability of the
Overland street site upon which It has
been proposed to build a modern cen
story hotel.
The committee which has the move
ment in charge ds composed of J. U.
Sweeney, chairman; W. C. Davis, J. W.
Fisher, James Magoffin, Phil Young,
H. B. Stevens, William Fenchler. Paul
F. Hammett, and L V. Berrien, A.
Schwartz, H. T. Ellis and Beverly
G. Thomas. The present plan is to pur
chase the entire block between El Paso
and Oregon streets facing Overland
street. Upon this the hotel will be
erected on the north half, leaving the
remainder to be disposed of by the ho
tel company at Its increased value after
the hotel is completed.
The hotel building will have a front
age of 200 feet on Overland street with
entrances on El Paso and Oregon streets.
The building will be 100 feet deep with
a line of store rooms facing the three
streets and a large basement below for
a rathskeller and cafes. The lobby will
be on the main floor with entrances on
to the three streets and a battery ot

simple. The subscriptions of those di
rectly interested in the erection of the

asked to finance the hotel building, a
mortgage on the entire property to be
used to raise the remainder of the mon
ey necessary to build ajid furnish, the

and at tne same time smashing him a

enter the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Scotton had gone down

evening, leaving the little girl In the
house alone. About S:30 oclock ihe tele

asked for Mrs. Scotton. Upon being in
formed that she was with her husband,
the stranger hung up the receiver.
Shortly after this, the girl heard the
door on the Arizona street side of the
house open. Instinctively she took a
long hat pin from her hat and with a
thrpe nound indian club in her Iert
hand, she went to discover who was
opening the door. As the door swung
open she was confronted with a masked
man, apparently an American, wearing
a large light colored hat, a soft white
shirt and dark trousers. He was with
out a coat.
"Without waiting to ask what was
wanted .the girl stabbed at the man
witn the hat pin, sticking it into his
side. She also swung the Indian club
and smashed him on the -side of the head
with it. Not caring for more of the
same treatment, the man turned and
ran down Arizona street. No trace of
him could be found by Mr. Scotton after
ha returned home with Mrs. Scotton.
