MANY REASONS GIVEN South Scarcity of Money Figures as a Factor., iLSO T.1E DIFFICL1UY OF BORROWING 7 i ' - r here Is the Decline in the Price cf Cot ton. Too Much .Labor, Too Utile L&borand Some Other Reasons. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 12. The industrial om mission today made public its re ;.'v oL .evidence taken before ihe t miiiis.siOG on the subjects of agri- : uiture and agricultural labor. Am on ( .h r subjects discussed is that of 'asr r uiturr.l depression, of which the com mission, speaks as follows: - The cause most often assigned f.or iiii depression of agriculture in the Kaiitrn States is the increased pro ouftion due to the opening of Western juiKls in advance of the natural demand, - . t oiaily through the agency of liberal laws and grant of land in aid of ... ta t t onstruction. The competition . ih. West has been rendered especial :y .-..-re by the policy, of the railroads in making freight rates relatively low i r lung distances. The old staple pro duct. s having thus become unprofitable in the East, it has been necessary for laimers to change their methods and vary the character of their crops, taking- up especially the culture of pro r.ie.ts which are not easily transported Ur.i'j; distances. Thus truck farming has largely superseded cereal growing along .': Atlantic coast, but farmers in the North Atlantic States now complain of tV severe competition of States further South in this industry, and much the ;anit' may. be said of fruit growing. Even so perishable a commodity as milk is transported much longer dis taiif.'Oi than formerly since the introduc tion of refrigerator cars. "Another cause which' several wit-n-ssea assign for the unsatisfactory con dition of agriculture in some parts of ti.- country is the conservatism of the 'farmers, their lack of quick adjustment '.- changed conditions, and lack of effec tive business planning and manage ment. , The farmers as a class have not K'-pt up w ith the. times, but have raised the same crops year after year without resrard to changes in supply and de mand. This undue conservatism and lark of managing ability among farmers i - especially emphasized with reference lo the Southern States, and is given as ;:u explanation of the too exclusive at untion to cotton production prevailing.,; th. re. . (. . 'Another cause assigned for agricul tural depression in .the South is the scarcity of moneyu4he difficulty of bor rowing on real estate security, and the or.f.equent high rates of interest. It f . ms to be possible, however, to bpr--o.- money, in .the South at somewhat if'Wf v lower rates of interest than form erly. The decline in the price of cot 'on is of course an important element in the depression of agriculture in the South. The inerfficiency of negro labor assigned as another cause. On the " her hand, it is affirmed that there is roo much good and cheap labor in the South. An abundance of cheap labor i suid to be unfavorable to the suc of agriculture, because it results '5: planting too large ah acreage and in 5.ei4,t., uf personal attention by the .'i"mtor. ' '"Again, the charges that farmers are "nduly conservative is met by the 'oimter charge that they turn from one ''op to another without sufficient re Kard to the suitability of the "climate, : i soil, and to the conditions of the ninrket."

Birmingham; Ala., Nov. 12. Partial re turns from every county in Alabama in dicate that the new constitution m wn ratified by .nearly 20,000 votes.

Rathbim listened as one by on6 the circumstances which the police re gard as proofs of his guilt were laid before him by Chief Sullivan. Accord- ing to the officer Rathbun suddenly sprang up, and walking hastily, to a w indow, looked out for a few minutes, then turning1 like an animal at bay he faced the crowd of men in the room and asked in a shaking voice: , "What is the punishment for offenses of thi3 kind in Indiana? Does the death penalty exist there?" - : "Never mind about the penalty Rathbun," : said Captain Sullivan. "What we are iaterested in is th nam of the dead man." " For a moment Rathbun looked at the group of faces before him and then said: ' 'You are on the right track: Good man Is the name of the dead man. I met him in front of the Salvation Army Hotel and determined to keep him drunk for several - days and then fix him." . "When questioned further Rathbun denied having given Goodman laudanum and said he would have made use of chloroform. ' Just before he was taken back to jail Rathbun made the following statement to Chief of Detectives Sullivan: "I admit everything except that I killed Goodman. I meant to kill him, and kept him drunk for .the purpose, but he died of alcoholism and I was not forced to make "way with him. The mystery about the accomplice Blan chard was fictitious. T acted alone and without a confederate." Blanchard was, .according to tfie story Rathbun told yesterday, a corporal whom Rathbun became acquainted with at Piatt sburg. N. Y. It" is said that Goodman, who was pf a. roving nature, came to this city on October 29 and put up at the Salvation Army Hotel. He repeatedly told the clerk, J. C Pelton, that he did not have vany money and did not know how he could get out of the city. According to Pelton's story, Good man returned to the Salvation Army Hotel shortly after 9 o'clock last Wed nesday with a new ccat and vest on and also a collar and neck tie.

THE CADETS' QUARTERS The Earracki Poorly Equipped, the Ventilation Execrable. THE ACADEMY BU'LT A CENTURY AGO I Nearly All the Irrp-ovemen's on it Hva Betn on the Patch Wo k Plan and Such Work as This Now is Work Thrown Awy. (By tho Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 12. The most impor tant feature of the report of the board of Visitors to the West Point Military Acad emy is a recommendation that the acad emy be rebuilt. The report says: "It has been nearly one hundred years sinceWest Point was founded, and fromj tne mrtn or tne institution nearly an the improvements have been on the patchwork plan. There is but one building con structd by the Government at the post that is in harmony with this day and; generation. It can be truthfully said that there is a pressing necessity for a com plete tearing down and a new building up. The policy pursued in this regard at An napolis should be speedily adopted, at West Point. Nothing can be gained by postponement. Indeed it seems to the board that almost every dollar spent in the future for altering and patching is so much money: thrown away. "The West Point Military Academy should be a model, perfect in the min utest detail, possessing every advantage and improvement which the new century affords and in entire harmony with the grandeur and dignity of the mission which our army is to fulfill. ; 'Putting the matter in a few words, it can be' truthfully said that the barracks in which the xjadets "sleep and study and live when notin' recitation, room or on the drill ground are little better equipped than the barracks at the average county poor house. In many of the rooms three cadets are crowded. The ventilation of these rooms is in accordance with hygenic notions of a century ago and is simply execrable." ' The report takes ut the subject of discipline and - states tbat the board is satisfied that the hazing has been eradi cated. Full credit is given to Col. Mills for this disciplinary measure, and the breaking up of hazing organizations. A REQUEST TO STAND ABIDE- Dickinson Demand That Bulgaria Keep Out of the Negotiations. (By the Associated Press.)

He cites-instances where the. attitude of subordinate officials has not conformed with this assurance. Finally. Mr. Dickinson ; repeats his demand for the non-interference of the government in the negotiations. The Government's reply, according to the opinion expressed in official circles will set forth that while hesitating to two ladies, the Government, as an act of courtesy and humanity, will cooply with Mr. Dickinson's request.
