Rose, is a close friend terday removed as the head of th strong arm squad. District Attorney Whitman learned enough to con vince him that Rose, at the police's suggestion hired some of Jack Zee- lig s gim-men gang to make away with Rosenthal. William Shnpire, the "murder car driver, told the district attor ney and his private detectives that after the shooting, murderers loaf ed around the scene of the crime with no apparent fear of arrest.

Mr. Bost. of the News' and Observer, and Mr.- Park, of 'ine Times, were guests of Mr. W. A. Simpkins this morning, and made a haBty trip, a delightful tlrizzie oi rain, so grateful to everybody here just now, to his noted farm, three miles south of Raleigh.; known . as the Cobb farm. There they saw what is undoubtedly the finest cot ton in the soutn today, it. was planted April 1, is now over three feet hi Eh, some of the stains carry three hundred squares and bolls, and so large are the earliest bolls that in perhaps ten days they win ue open, in a au-acre neia, wnere me rows are an eighth ot a nine in leneth .'the cotton is seen to great advantage. -on a high table land, wiih a particularly fine setting of liem and forest. ; The wliole scene snow ed clearly what can bo done here in the way of high-class fanning, and Dr. Jordan, who has traveled in an lands, spoke of the work of Mr. Slmukins is doing as something which makes for the prosperity oi the whole world. He asked if the Simnklns cotton seed could not be obtained for planting in Korea, and said this industry would not come in conflict with what the south la doing with this great staple crop Korea is one of the most struggling countries in the world, and one time had only one production whicli brought in any money at all, this be ing the vegetable sponge. When told of the development won and that which is still I'm- ther planned by Mr. Simpkins, l)r Jordan said that it is a very wonder ful thing to have brought up uie production of cotton from the old average ot something line an eigniu of a bale to the acre to three bales, for he was assured that Mr. Simp kins would be very greatly surprised and disappointed If on the lliiriy acres already alluded to the yield was anything less than 1,500 pounds of lint cotton, which means three bales of 5UU pounds each. Dr. Jor dan alluded to the power of ex ample in these matters and declared he was sure Mr. Simpkins naa fortune in his cotton seed, for seed selection was as Important as that Of animals. He had seen during his life the most enormous increase in the productivity of land and the raising of the standard animals of all kinds, and he in this connection referred to the wonderful work done by that wizard of the vegetable world, his long-time friend, Luther Burbank, of California, who has wrought what may be termed miracles. Dr. Jordan has been all over the south, and twenty-five years ago was in Nor.h Carolina for some time making a study of streams and their possibilities in the way of providing for the food supply of fish by re stocking. He did this work at the special request ot the United States government and was at Swananoa and oiher points in the mountains At Raleigh, where there was then a fish hatchery, and also at varlou points in the east and along the coast, lie said that the improve ment of conditions In the south was something to gratify every citizen of the country and that he was pro foundly Impressed by these since his last visit to the state.
