Shows Further Deterioration
as the Season Advances.
FIGURES VERY BULLISH.
Government Statistics for July Put

Compared with 77 in
Month of June.
The fallowing report km the condition
of the cotton crop was issued
by the statistical board of the department
of agriculture in Washington at
noon Thursday : \
"The^tifN&imatlng board of the
bureau ofra&tistics "of the department
of agriculture finds from the
reports of... the correspondents and
agents of the bureau tha( the average
condition of cotton on July 23 was
74.9, as compared with 77 on June 25,
1905; 91.6 on July 25, 1904; 79.7 on
July 25, 1903, and a ten year average

Attorney General Moody returned
to the capital Thursday morning and
was at his desk in the department of
justice during the remainder of the
day. In speaking of the reasons for
: his return at this time, he said that
there were peveral matters of considerable
importance, which required
' his presence, among them being
that of a successor to Mr. Cotton, who
recently was appointed United States
diatrW in Oreeon in olace oi
Judge Bellinger, deceased. Mr. Cotton
had accepted the position, but for
business and private reasons has withdrawn
his acceptance.
There are several other matters of
trust litigation which require his attention.
In answer to an inquiry concerning
the cotton leak investigation
the attorney general said that he had
been in close touch with the investigation
from its origin, but desired
a further personal conference with
District Attorney Beach.
Mr. Moody said that Mr. Beach was
quite able to properly conduct the investigation
without any assistance
from him or any one, but that as this
was a matter of personal house cleaning
of the administration it seemed
fitting that the head of the depart
ment of Justice should keep in close
touch should matters assume a personal
responsibility with reference to
It. and the president and with the
country.
The attorney general had a conference
with Mr. Beach during the day.
The district attorney said that the
grand Jury now investigating the cotton
leak would take a recess until the
15th. He explained that the adjourn*
ment of the grand jury was in consequence
of the fact that additional evidence
was expected from distant !
points which could not be obtained
before that time.

After Shooting Him Down.
Mike Aspenwall, city marshal, was
assassinated at Baxley, Ga., Thursday, J

said "blind tiger liquor has brought

. DEATH HAMPERS JURY.
Sudden Demise of the Mother of Juror
in Sanford Case Temporarily
Stops Deliberations.
Death interrupted the deliberations
of the Sanford jury at Rome, Ga., on
Friday night. A messenger hurried to
the court house and announced that
the mother of Juryman W. A. Brandon
died during the afternoon. As soon
as Judge Wright was informed he
called counsel on both sides into con
ference, and it was decided to permit
Mr. Brandon to attend his mother's
funeral. After which the jury will again
take, up the case. Mr. Brandon left
for his home at once, accompanied by
Special Officer Baxter.
The fate of Vincent T. Sanford was
placed in the hands of the' jury at
10:15 Friday morning, and from that
hour until the news of the death\ of
Juror Brandon's mother came, the
case was under consideration without
a verdict being reached. No word
came from the jury room as to how
the jury is divided, though naturally
there were all sorts of rumors. There
was a great crowd at the court house
Friday morning to hear Colonel Copeland's
closing argument for the state,'
and Judge Wright's charge, and to
await the verdict of the jury.
One of the sensations of the day
was an announcement by Mrs. Sanl
fnrd that Colonel CoDeland, who had
prepared her petition for divorce, and
is also aiding in prosecuting her husband,
would no longer act as her counsel,
but hereafter Colonel Dean, who
is defending her husband, would act
as her attorney. . >"
MRS. SANFORD FIRES LAWYER.
Drops Copeland and Retains Dean, Her
Husband's Attorney.
The following signed statement was
given out at Rome, Ga., Friday for
publication by Mr. Jordan H. Sanford:
"Mrs. V. T. Sanford no longer retains
Mr. Frank Copeland as her legal
adviser.
"After serious meditation I feel that
my adviser has done me an injustice,
first, by allowing divorce pleadings to
be published to the world, for no other
purpose that I can see but to furnish
gossip and sensational reading for the
general public.
"Second, a portion of said divorce
pleadings, which were published by
none other than Mr. Copeland, were
untrue and published without my
knowledge or consent.
"I will admit that these pleadings
were read to me before being made
public through the press, and I directed
such portions of same as were
untrue and unfounded to.be stricken,
which was not done. But original copy
was used and said corrections were
not made.
"For these reasons I full well know
j that future relations with him as my
j advisor would work to no good end
and would fully carry out nis ideas,
which would continue to be sensational
and would work harm to me.
"It was not my intention or purpose
i to have my divorce proceedings pub!
lished.
"It was my understanding they were
to be filed with the court only.
"MRS. ELIZABETH SANFORD."
The above statement was given out
by Mr. Jordan Sanford, a brother of
Vincent Sanford, and Hon. R. E. Davison
of Greene county, a former
member of the legislature.
"This statement was given us oy
i Mrs. Sanford for publication," they
stated, "and she requests it," they
I said.
j "Colonel Linton A. Dean, leading
counsel in the defense of Vincent T.
j Sanford, will in future be the legal
j advisor of Mrs. Sanford," said Mr.
| Jordan H. Sanford. "She has requestj
ed my brother, James K. Sanford, \o
l bring Colonel Dean to her for the puri
pose of retaining him."
"I was present when this statement
i was made," said Hon. R. E. Davison,
"and know it to be true."

j present during the conference,

over Friday in . the number of

Tha wnart QMTirinv showed a ereat
improvement over those during the j
middle cf the week, and the fact that !
there were only two new sub-foci, one j
uptown and one downtown, was a
source of special encouragement. An
effort is being made to determine the.
number of cases of fever under treatment
and allowing ten days, which
is a liberal estimate for a patient to
either recover or die, it is figured that
there are now 233 cases under treatment.

j of the Sanford case at Rome, Ga., at J
S o'clock Saturday night, Mr. Bran- j
don having returned at that hour from
attending the funeral of his mother.
Mr. Brandon, on his return, went immediately
to the jury room and con- i
sideration of the case was resumed. J
At 10 o'clock, seeing there was little
hope of a verdict during the night,
Judge Wright left for his home in the
country. He stated that he would receive
no verdict, if made, until Monday
morning.
One of the most dramatic statements
in connection wi ;h the trial was
the declaration of Mrs. Sanford that
she is utterly indifferent as to the fate
of her spouse. She also affirms that she
has wronged her lawyer, Mr. CopeI
land, whom it was reported would not
j be retained longer as her advisory
counsel, and in fact, wishes him to
continue to represent her, saying:
"I was unduly influenced into making
the statement, and I consented
in sheer desperation. It wus against

AN INFORMAL CEREMONY
President Acts Host on the Mayflower ;

' History was made in Oyster Bay ;
Saturday.
President Roosevelt, on behalf of J
the United States and its people, extended
iormal greetings to the repre- ;
sentatlves of Russia and Japan, in- j
troduced the plenipotentiaries to one :
another, and entertained them at an j
elaborate luncheon at which Russians 1
and Japanese fraternized with one an- j
other and as comrades rather than en- ?
emies.
Curing the luncheon President
Roosevelt proposed a notable toast, in
which he expressed the earnest nope
and prayer, in the interest not only i
of these two great powers, but of all !
civilized mankind, that a just and last- j
ing peace may speedily be concluded i
between them.
The occasion was impressive. It was j
attended not by psmp and ceremony, j
but by a simplicity and frankness chav i
acteristic of the president and the J
people of America. Due honor was paid ;
the distinguished guests pf the pres-1
ident jmd of the country, and they were \
received with all the dignity to which |
their exalted rank entitled them. The |
day was ideal.
The handsome war yacht, Mayflow- j
er, one of the most beautiful ves-1
sels of the UDited States navy, on j
which the formal reception of the Ruv |
sian and Japanese plenipotentiaries j
took place, swung easily at anchor j
just at the entrance of Oyster Bay J
from Long Island sound.
; In order that no questions of precedence
should arise it was determined
that the luncheon should be a buf- <
fet function. In this way was avoided i
the necessity of seating the envoys at j
table with the president No set addresses
were delivered.
Baron Komura presented to the
president the twelve members of his
suite.
The president then introduced the
envoys to the army and naval officers
present, after which, with Baron Komura
and Minister Takahira, he retired
to an inside cabin for a brief i
consultation prior to the arrival of
the Russion mission.
The cruiser Chattanooga, with the
Russian envoys on board, anchored
a third of a mile from the Mayflower
at 1:05 p. m., and fifteen minutes later
the Chattanooga's nineteen gun salute
announced the departure of the
Russians for the Mayflower. A few
minutes afterward the form of M.
Wltte, Russia's chief plenipotentiary,
appeared at the starboard gangway

Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador,
and second peace envoy, and eight
members of his suites. They were received
precisely as the Japanese had j
been.
After receiving the members of the
suite and presenting all in turn to !
his presidential guests, the president ;
then brought the two sets of envoys |
together, introducing them formally to |
one another. j
The ceremony ended, the president j
returned to Sagamore Hill and the en- i
voys boarded vessels in waiting and
began the journey to Portsmouth.

COL E. P. HOWELL DEAD. |
A'idely Known and Greatly Admired
Georgian Succumbs to Grim Reaper
at His Home in Atlanta.
Captain Evan P. Howell, former
mayor cf Atlanta, and one of the most
widely known and distinguished citizens
of Georgia, died Sunday afterioon
at the family residence in Atlanta.
The end came calmly and peaceful- i
ly. rnconsc'.o; sness, into which he j
sank, late Stturday afternoon, was un- j
broken to the end. During the past
three weeks Captain Howell suffered
with a carbuncle between his shoul- j
ders, this trouble being accompanied j
by diabetes.
Captain Howeii is survived by his I
wife, Mrs. Julia E. Howell, and seven j
children?Hon. Clark Howen, jr., hoxi.
Albert Howell, Jr., Mrs. Robert L.
Foreman, .Mrs. Ida Cramer, Miss Rosalie
Howell, Mrs. Byron Bower and
Evan P. Howell, Jr. His brothers
are Colonel Albert Howell, Sr., Charles
A. Howell and Clark Howell, Sr. His
sisters are Mrs. Nathan Lyon and Mrs.
Park Woodward.
News of the death of Captain Howell
spread rapidly through the city
antl during the afternoon hundreds
called at his home to pay their respects
to his memory. During the late
afternoon and evening the house and
front yard were crow*ded! Among the
callers were Governor J. M. Terrell,
all state house officials, who were in
Atlanta and many city officials.
Many old confederate veterans were
among those who visited the residence
to view for the last time the face of
their war-time comrade, who had been
their friend, both during the^war and
during the forty-one intervening years.
Of Captain Evan P. Howell, "Famous
American Men and Women" has
this to say, among other things:
"An eloquent orator, a journalist
of rare ability and a.patriot whose
heart is full of love and devotion for
his countrymen, Evan P. Howell Is
one of those most distinguished men
of the south. Captain Howell is a native
of Forsyth (now Milton) county,
Georgia, At the age of 12 years his
father moved to Atlanta. Here the son
passed with distinction through the
common schools, entering the Georgia
Military Institute at Marietta in 1853.
After completing a two years' course
he went to Sandersville, where he
read law until the end of the year
1858. A year later he began the practice
of law, which was interrupted by
the breaking out of the civil war. He
enlisted in the First Georgia Regiment
as orderly sergeant and was
appointed a lieutenant before the expiration
of a month. He was promoted
to the rank of first lieutenant and before
the second year he remodeled
the company and became its captain.
After the war he served a term as
solicitor general. He was elected to
the state senate in 1873, and was reelected
for a second term. In 1875 he
purchased a controlling interest in the
Atlanta Constitution, and became its
editor-in-chief."
Under his guidance The Constitution
at once leaped Into prominence
as a national newspaper. He secured
for the paper Joel Chandler Harris,
Frank L. Stanton and later Henry
W. Grady, whose brilliance was coupled
with the executive ability and
the able management of Captain How
ell to place The Constitution among
the foremost newspapers of the country.
About 1897 he sold his interest in
the paper, and retired from active
business, although he has never
ceased to be prominent in public life.
In 1902 he was called upon by numerous
prominent citizens to make the
race for the mayoralty of Atlanta, and
his candidacy proved so popular that
he was overwhelmingly elected.
