Recover Few Points of 12
To 14 Point Loss
NEW ORLEANS. March 25— </P>—
The cotton market opened easy at
a decline of 12 to 14 points due to
lower Liverpool cables and to fa
vorable weather in the belt. Prices
eased off a few points additional
on overweight selling orders, May
trading down to $19.89, July $19.94,
and October $19.76. or 13 to 15
points below Saturday’s close.
Towards the end of the first hour
the market showed a disposition to
rally owning to indications of less
favorable weather and prices recov
ered 4 to 6 points of the loss.
The market developed more re
sistance to selling luter and gradual
ly recovered on fair trade buying
and shorts covering. May advanced
to 20.01, July 20.05 and October
19.87, or 11 to 12 points above the
early lows but still 2 to 4 points un
der Saturday’s close.

highs.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, March 25.—f/P)—
Cotton opened steady at a decline
of 9 to 12 points, with active months
selling 12 to 15 points net lower
in early trading under liquidation
combined with some southern and
local selling.
While offerings were absorbed by
covering and trade buying, prices
were within a point or two of the
lowest at the end of the first half
hour.
After selling off to 20.63 for May
and 19.97 for new October contracts,
in the early trading, prices steadied
on covering. Considerable selling
was absorbed on the early decline,
and offerings became comparatively
light later in the morning.
At midday the market was quiet
and steady at recoveries of some 5
to 10 points from the lowest on ac
tive positions. Prospects for showers
in the eastern belt helped to steady
prices.

TOLL OF FLOOD
STANDS AT 49
Tennessee And Kentucky
Bear Brunt With 37
Lives Lost
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ March 25.—(JF)
—Floods rushing down from the
Cumberland mountain watersheds
took a toll of 37 lives in Kentucky
and Tennessee over the week-end
while tornadoes and storms spread
death over four other southern
states bringing the South's death
toll to 49 or more.
Tennessee was the hardest hit
with 31 known deaths. Kentucky
has six. Alabama had five negro
children killed in a tornado. Two
negroes were killed in Georgia by a
tornado and a white man by light
ning. Three negroes were killed in
Mississippi in a storm. A boy was
killed In North Carolina in a storm.
Mountain streams in eastern Ken
tucky and Tennessee receded as
rapidly as they had trapped their
victims. Twenty persons, mostly
women and children were lost when
the Emery river at Harriman. Ten
nessee. left its bangs at 3 o’clock
yesterday morning. Seven Boy
Scouts and their scoutmaster were
swept into White Creek and drown
ed as they slept. They occupied a
cottage on the creek bank during
a week-end hike. Three members of
one family were drowned at Web
ster. Tenn. Bodies of six Boy Scouts,
their scout master and two others
have been recovered.
Hundreds of families were with

PARLEY SEEN ON
FREEDOM OF SEAS
WASHINGTON. March 25.—(A*)—
Official and diplomatic circles here
expect the continued agitation, both
in the Untied States and abroad,
over the question of the freedom of
the seas will bring about some
formal consideration of the subject
before the end of the year.
The declaration last week by
Ramsay MacDonald, prime minister
of Great Britain in the labor gov
ernment of 1924. that Great Britain
must agree with the United States
on a sea policy, is looked upon here
as imnortant. MacDonald said the
United States and Great Britain
must agree on the freedom of the
seas as the only basis of complete
friendship between the two coun
tries.
With the possibility of the con
servative government of Prime
minister Baldwin not being returned
to power and the possibility that the
age-old policy of British mastery of
the seas may be changed by another
government, it is considered likely
the question will be held in abey
ance until after the general elec
tions in England two months from’
now.
Sir Austen Chamberlain, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, has indicated
on several occasions the foreign of
fice wTas consulting with the Eritish
dominions on questions relating to
the Anglo-American affairs. While
the nature of these negotiations has
never been revealed a belief is ao
oarent here that thev are along the
lines of freedom of the seas and the
closely linked questions of empira
i defense.

Torture Rivaling

“.by his ears
Thrice ’round the haunted hovel—”
McMILLAN SCHOOLHOUSE, San Saba County, March 25.—A thin
little band of yellow gold, a mystic emblem of evil portent whose hyp-f
nctic spell had power even to life or death over three or four people, is j
the cause of the unbelievable tortures inflicted upon Doss Moore, credu
lous backwoodsman of this community, who is fighting probably a losing j
cattle lor his life. According to>
those who have seen the pitiful
wreck of Doss Moore's body, no such
physical torture perhaps ever was
laid upon any human being in any
desperate and mind-breaking effort
to appease an angry pagan deity.
Some of the neighbors have come
to lack in upon the unconscious j
man, or to mumble incantations.
His face, a welt of wounds which
hide the gaping hole from which
one of his eyebals was gouged gives
faint signs that he clings to a
thread of life.
Mcore was tortured and beaten
all night and all day, a week ago.
Ranger Jim McCoy of Austin, in1
company with Sheriff Newell'
Graves, arrested those charged with
his mutiliation, said he has never
seen a man before who had lived
through such tortures as befell the
backwoodsman. Sheriff Graves got
the story of the mystery ring by
patching together fragments of
facts and local tradition.
It was the second time that
Moore, a bachelor of about 35. has
been in the shadow of bodily harm
on account of the ring.
The ring, allegedly came into
possession about a year and a half
ago.
He was set upon and beaten then.
Nothing came of the matter after
that for a time.
Two men now held on charges of
the new’ attack upon Moore, are
Stan Hawkins of Walker creek, and
Lee B. Smith of Rosebud. They
now are charged with assault to
murder.
According to Ranger McCoy and
Sheriff Graves, here is something j
of the torture through which Doss
Moore lived :
Two men stopped at his home
just after nightfall. They lured the
lonesome, credulous man into a car.
He was taken to a vacant house in
,some isolated spot, and was beaten
over the body and hacked with a
heavy instrument, at intervals all
the endless night.
Helpless, he was left in the cabin
until morning. Then his tormen
tors began again, this time an orgy
of physical torture almost without
parallel.
He was again beaten. Then he
was placed in a car and taken back
to his house. He was strung up by
his ears and his thumbs to the
limb of a tree near the house, and
hacked and slashed about the face.
His blood was spattered about the
ground, evidence of the grilling pun
ishment.
Then he was jabbed in the face
m such a way that one of his eve
balls is supposed to have popped
i out- though doctors aren’t sure yet
‘ because his face is so badly swol
j len they can't see his eyes,
j As Moore writhed and twisted,
| he was struck a heavy blow which
i broke both jaw’s.
I Then another chapter occurred to
! his tormentors. The limb on which
, he was sw’ung up by his ears and
j thumbs was chopped off, he falling
i with it to the ground.
Then, after the words of the old
incantation, the agonized victim
was dragged around his house. Per
haps he would have been dragged
thrice around, but one of his ears
was twisted off, leaving a great
seared strip of bloody flesh alongside
his hanging, misshapen jaws that
had been broken. Then the thong
slit through his other ear, and his
thumbs appeared that they too
would be pulled from his outstretch
ed arms. Part of this he has told
I officers since, in moments of lucid
ity.
Whether the ring, the cause of all
the trouble, was found, officers did
not say. Moore’s senseless body was
picked up and dumped on the floor
of the cottage, and there they found
nim later, at first believing he was
dead.
Improves—Percy McCall, San Be
nito high school student, who un
derwent an operation in San An
tonio last week, is improving and
is expected to return to his home
in the next few days. Young Mc
Call was in the Mercy hospital
prior to his departure ofr San An
tonio.

Help for the beleaguered federal
garrison at Mazatlan was within 40
miles of that city today and dan
ger of its capture by the rebel west

IN OUR VALLEY

tecture which predominates in the
Valley's building program.
* * *
THE ENTIRE VALLEY should
be interested in the movement re
cently inaugurated to organize
Izaf.k Walton leagues in this sec
tion.
The league has been functioning
in other parts of the country many
years, and has been an important
factor in the conservation of the
nation’s game and wrild life.
The organization has sponsored j
several legislative programs, includ
ing bird and game refuges, closing
of waters to commercial fishing at
points where such fishing threat
ened extinction of marine life, and
has preached the doctrine of con
servation the length and breadth
of the country.
The Valley, long noted for its
attractions to sportsmen, should
endeavor to preserve that attrac
tion. The objective of the league
is to educate the public to the
necessary for conservation and to
prevent ruthless slaughter of game
and fish.
The Valley can endorse its pro
gram, and should evidence its
approval by organizing Valley-wide.
