TIIE COTTON MARKET
Opened Easy Today at Beeline of 7 to
11 Points—Beeline Carried July to
22.87.
New York. June ].—The cotton mar
ket opened ea*y today at a decline of 7
to 11 point* under local and southern
selling, attributed chiefly to liquidation
of small old account* due to reports of
rain at a few points in Texas and in
creasing southern mill curtailment. With
Liverpool closed and the government crop
report due at noon tomorrow, general
business was very_quiet. There was no
special trading feature on decline which
carried July off to 22.87 and October
to 22.88 on the early trading. Covering
caused rallies* of sit or seven points, but
the market was within a point or two
of the lowest and at the end of the first
hour, active months showed met losses
of five to ten points.
Three more private corp reports is
sued this morning ranged from 78 to
77.1 without apparent effect on senti
ment.
Cotton futures opened steady: July
22.88; October 22.39 ; 1 lecember 22.0.">;
January 22.15; March 22.48.
“TRADE ASSOCIATION”
METHOD IS UPHELD
Business Concerns Operating Under Plan
Not Violating Law. Supreme Court De
cides.
Washington. June 1. —The "trade asso
ciation” method of co-operation within
great industries was upheld by the Su
preme Court today over the protest of
the Federal government.
Laying down principles of far reaching
importance to the business world the
court dee ; de that neither the Cement Man
ufacturers Protective Association nor the
Maple, Flooring Manufacturers* Associa
tion was invalid under the anti-trust‘laws.
The operations of these two associa
tions have been declared by government
counsel to be broadly similar, and typical
of a movement among great business con
cerns to pool their interests in violation
of the Sherman act, under the gu : se of
merely exchanging trade information.
With that contention the Supreme Court
disagreed, holding that both organizations
were operating lawfully.
INCH-STAPLE COTTON IS
POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT SOUTH
Says Report of Bureau of Plant Indus
try Following Series of Tests.
Washington. June I.—Every cotton
planter in the South can raise cotton of
at least one inch staple, officials of the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the depart
ment of agriculture declarer! today fol
lowing a series of experiments through
out the belt.
If this is done, they contend, there
need be no fear of foreign competition,
because American cotton would be far
superior to cotton preducted by any oth
er country.
Tremendous quantities of short staple
is now produced in the United States the
commission asserts, due to the mixing
of seer! in ginning, and is brought into
direct competition with cotton of short
staple produced abroad. The seed mix
ture at gins can be eliminated only by
community co-operation, with local gins,
so that only a uniform quality of seed
cotton will pass through the gins.

Heart Affection Caused His
Death. —Served as Vice
President During Trying
Days of the World War.
Washington, June 1 (By the Associ
ated Press). —Thomas R. Marshall, war
time vice president of the United State*,
died here today.
He passed away at the New Willard
Hotel here, where he had been ill for
several days with a cold and heart affec
tion.
The end came unexpectedly as the for
mer Vice President had shown improve
ment in the week he had been confined to
his hotel room, and plans had been made
for his return to his home in Indianapolis
some time this week.
Accompanied by his wife, Mr. Marshall
came to Washington a week ago today, i
On his arrival ho went directly to the ho
tel complaining of great exhaustion. When
physicians were summoned it was found
he had suffered from a heart attack. Ho
regained his strength gradually, however,
and was soon in such condition as to al
low Mrs. Marshall to leave the bedside
and attend to errands about the capitol.
Death resulted from a recurrence of the
heart attack which he suffered a week
ago.
Tentative plans were made for the bur
ial at Marion. Ind., near his father and
mother and a foster child.
"When the end came the former A r ice-
President was sitting up in bed, reading
from the Bible to which he had turned
throughout life for consolation and guid
ance. and into whose passages he often
delved in his office adjoining the Senate
chamber in moments when his presence
was not required as presiding officer.
Only a nurse was at his bedside. Mrs.
Marshall was in an adjoining room. Sud
denly slumping down into the pillow he
passed away without a word and appar
ently without pain.
The room in which he died was on the
fourth floor of the Hotel, overlooking L
street fashionable shopping center. It
was in this hotel he had resided during
his official life in Washington.
'The-former Vice President had planned
a ten day stay in the capital. It was
one Of' the periodic visits he had made
' since his retirement from the Vice Presi
dency in 1921 and on these occasions he
had alwavs called at the hWite House to
pay his respects to the President.

CONFLICTING TILES
ABOUT FIRE WHO
CAUSED MAN'S DEATH
Police Inquiry Into Death of
Deo Reynolds Parsons,
Wealthy Chicago Ma n,
Brings Different Stories.
WIFE SLIGHTLY
HURT IN FIRE
Body of Dead Man Found
After Fire In The Drawing
Room—Say Wife Tells Dif
ferent Stories About Fire.
Chicago, June 1 (By the Associated
Press). —•'Conflicting stories confronted
the police today in their efforts to ac
count for a mysterious fire which caused
the death of Deo Reynolds Parsons, a
wealthy broker and club man, in his
apartment in a fashionable North Side
neighborhood Sunday morning.
Firemen found Pardons partly clothed
in the burned drawing room of his home.
In the apartment at the time were Mrs.
Parsons and James King, a policeman
who said he had accompanied the broker
home several hours previously.
Mrs. Parsons, tin amateur singer, and
known to her friends as a motorist and
horsewoman, suffered slight burns on the
face,and hands w'hile King was severely
burned and also injured when he fell
from a second story window.
Many persons about to attend services
at the nearby Michigan Avenue Church
and millionaire residents of the Gold
C-oast were attracted to the scene of the
blaze.
Mrs. Parsons said she did not know of
her husband’s death when she greeted
firemen who entered the apartment.
At first informing the police that she
and Mr. Parsons returned home at 10:80
Saturday night, she later fixed the time
as 1:30 a. m. Sunday, saying she had
retired immediately. Neighbors reported,
however, they had heard the two talking
loudly in front of the building about 4 :80
o'clock Sunday morning.
Awakened by someone about 10 a. m.,
Mrs. Parsons summoned a Japanese ser
vant and sounded the alarm. The Japan
ese said that previously Mr. Parsons had
awakened him early in the morning to
prepare breakfast for the clubman and
Policeman King. Breakfast over, the
butler went back to bed. he said, leaving
Parsons and his guest in the living room.
Firemen believed that Parsons, holding a
lighted cigarette, may have fallen asleep
on the divan, thus starting the fire. Be
side the body was found an unexploded
revolver cartridge, but its presence there
could not be accounted for.
King, who was questioned at a hos
pital. said he had just ended his patrol
duty on upper Road when an
automobile careened towards him and
halted at hi?r side, and the single occu
pant, Parson*, introduced himself and in
vited the policeman to help him drive
home.

EXPECT ADVERSE REPORT
ON LEASE OF SHOALS
Believed Special Committee Against the
Lease of Power Developed at Plant.
Washington. Juno I.—An adverse re
port on the proposed leasing of power at
Muscle Shoals, Ala., is expected to be
j recommended to the war department by
'the Muscle Shoal* commission.
This is the sentiment of members of
! the commission now- in Washington, who
! also have been in touch with other mem
bers. The war department some time
ago asked the advice of the commission
with regard to the proposed leasing of
power. The commission’s answer will
be drawn up at a meeting called by
Chairman McKenzie for June 10th. to be
held here. This will be the first meeting
T,f the commission since it was organized.
Investigation of the Muscle Shoals
| property has led to the conclusion that
I the new power expected to be available
Iby July Ist as a result of the work on
[the Wilson dam will not be ready until
1 December Ist. By that time the com
mission is expected to have drawn up
I its report on the disposition of this prop
erty.
[ This report will be submitted to Con
gress which convenes again in December.
President Coolidge holds the view that
no power should be leased if it will inter
fere in any way witfc the final disposition
of the property. On such a ground it is
understood the eommisison would recom
mend against leasing of the power. The
War Department, however, is not bound
to follow the recommendation.
CONDITIONS AT MINE
APPROACHING NORMALCY
Only Work of Experts From Washing
ton Left to Remind One of Last Week’s
Explosions.
Coal Glenn, N. C., June I.—Conditions
at the Carolina Coal Company’s mine
here today had resumed a normal appear
ance. Only the party of Federal experts
here to make an official investigation of
the disaster of last Wednesday which
snuffed out 553 lives, and the Red Cross
relief workers remained as outside evi
dence that disaster had visited the lLrie
town. The ropes which held hack hun
dreds from the mine while rescue was in
progress were no longer needed, for the
crowds had departed. The relatives had
scattered to their homes in Chatham and
adjoining counties to mourn their grief
free from the curious glances of the thou
sands who had come from far and near
to view the mine. y.
Many of the miners who had responded
nobly to the call for rescue workers today
slept for the first time in four days ex
cept for intermittent naps. Within the
mine the experts and a small crew of
miners explored the innermost recesses in
an attempt to determine the couse of the
three explosions which killed half the
adult population of the town and wrecked
the mine so that its operation will be im
possible for many weeks.
Red Cross workers were engaged today
in making a survey of the situation for
the purpose of extending relief to stricken
relatives. An appeal by Governor McLean
for SBS,(XK) for the work was supple
mented by $5,000 from the Red Cross
funds and it was indicated in reports re
ceived here that the Governor’s call was
having imediate response.

son. Merriman R. Davis, who had gone
to the local plant with the father a few
minutes prior to the shooting was in an
adjoining office when she heard the
fatal shot- Officers who investigated pro
nounced it a clear case of suicide.
Brooding over business worries
brought about by the long continued ill
health of his chief business partner.
John R. Vanness; the recent death of
his neighbor, friend and business
associate, Sam R.’Moore, and the ill
health of the manager of the Maxton
plant of the Elba company, was the
cause assigned by members of his family
for the act of self destruction.

DEMONSTRATIONS OF
STUNT FLYING
“Peck’s BacTßoy 7 ’ Will Pre
sent Some Daring Exploits.
—Be at Tribune Office at
Noon Each Day.
He has settled down to steady work
now, this slender young man who earned
the title of "Peck's Bad Boy" during the
war because of his daring exploits in air
planes.
But occasionally ho finds time to play,
and play to him means to tumble and toss
an airplane in the skies like a twirling
twig in a windstorm.
His right name is Clyde E. Pangborn,
and he is the star pilot and one of the
owners of The Flying Circus which The
Tribune has contracted to bring to Con
cord to stage free exhibitions of stunt
flying and aerial dare-leviltry Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoons.
In addition to Pangborn, there will be
Pilots Ashcraft and Brooks, Diavalo
Krantz, the wingwalker; Chance "Walker,
“Wild Bill” Wunderlich, Ivan Gates him
self and others.
The ’planes will fly over the business
district of Concord at noon Tuesday and
Wednesday and each day will shower
down copies of The Tribune in front of
The Tribune office. Inside these rolled
newspapers each day will be five tickets,
each of them worth an airplane ride
without any cost. Other persons who
desire to fly will be taken for aerial
“sight-seeing” tours at nominal charges
before and after the exhibitions.
Pangborn was an experienced pilot
when America entered the war, and he
soon was selected as an instructor. But
he wouldn’t confine himself to the safe
and steady courses of the air. He was
what is called a “born stunt pilot.” He
wanted to send his plane through twists
and itwirls, through loops and spirals.
One day. he attempted to roll the wheels
of his ‘sip’ over the roof of his command
ing officer’s quarters.
He was “grounded,” the penalty for
disobeying orders, which at that time
prohibited stunt flying.
But he was up again, only to be
“grounded” again. Time and again this
happened. Once he guided an airplane
through an enormous hangar. Other fly
ers were sent to France, but Pangborn,
spending about half of his time on the
“ground”, only could regret his foolish im
pulses. Tlius he gaiued the name of
“Peck's Bad Boy.”
But during this time he learned how
to fly an airplane upside down. To ac
complish the feat meant that both he and
the airplane would become covered with
hot oil, that the motor would probably be
stalled, and that he'd take a chance on
his life.
But he did and thus earned a new
name, which still sticks to him. It is
"Upsidedown” Pangborn.
The upsidedown flight will be one of
the features of The Tribune's Aerial Meet
in Concord.
Moving Mountain Pauses in Slide To
ward Valley.
Denver, Colo., June I.—Charles W.
Henderson, mineral geographer of the
United States Geological Survey, points
out that even a mountain cannot engage
ing “galloping” without pausing to “catch
its breath.” He believes that the “mov
ing mountain” on the highway between
Meeker and Rifle. Colo., may be resting
for another slide into the Rio Blanco val
ley.
A number of large cracks have appear
ed across the base of the mountain, and
this, according to Henderson, indicates
that the base of the peak is weakening.
If this base, a stratum of sandstone,
gives way. the mountain is expected to
silp farther into the valley.
Geologists attribute the movement of
the mountain partly to “a physical ampu
tation” of its base, made for the con
struction of the highway. This slicing
of the peak's tie apparently upset its
equilibrium, they say.
Six White Miners Killed.
Birmingham, Ala., June I.—Six white
miners were killed last night in a mine
accident at Piper, Ala., report* to the
Little Cahaha Coal Company, owners of
