Accompanied by his daughters, Misses Rose and Agnes, both young women, Mayor John F. Fitzgerald of Boston ar rived in the city at an early hour yester day and did not have a minute to him self. The mayor was met by Mayor Dahl man. City Commissioner Butler, City Clerk Flynn, Dr. II. M. Fttzglbbon and R. 1p Carter and escorted to the Jlen ehaw, where he breakfasted, his daugh ters being taken to the home of R. L. Carter, where they were the guests of Mrs. Carter during the day, she being an old friend of the Fitzgerald family and having formerly lived In Boston.

Starts as Newsboy. Mayor Fitzgerald Is a rapid-fire talker and fetter .city, government Is his one, hobby. Starting llfo as,' a loton news boy !ne had a hard strtiggi;! But he'did not Remain a newsboy. Shortly after reaching his majority, in 1632, he was elected a member of the Boston city council and In 1K3 a member of the state senate, bocornilig a member of congress and mayor In 1906, to be re-elected' In 1910, running each time on the deraor cratic ticket, and that in a city that is strongly republican. While he denies It, the mayor of Bos ton is said to have a reputation as ait orator and a man who has made a 'study of city affairs. As a result he Is -In de mand all over the country. While at his hotel he received an Invitation from the mayor, council and Commercial club of Denver Inviting him to that' city to address a public meeting there. Owing to his limited time he was compelled to decline the Invitation, Country All Right. ' Major Fitzgerald is of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with the country. and In making 'his trip he says that on every hand there are evidences of pros, perlty and evidences of a continuance of good , times. In the east conditions are practically the same and no possibility of any change unless It Is brought about by a concerted effort upon the part of those who demoralize the trade of the United States and its Institutions b seeking to bring -on a panic. The revision of the tariff Mayor Fitz gerald believes will bring about an un precedented era of prosperity. He- take the position that goods and wares In America can be manufactured as cheaply as In any other country In the world and that on account of their superiority they will ro Into foreign markets that at the present time are unknown to American manufacturers. In the east, says Mayor Fitzgerald, people have a very high opinion of the west and the central west,-looking upon It as a section peopled by the best citi zens of the United States, besides being the bread basket of the world and a. section from which comes about til the; necessities that, supply the table. .'

Oct. 3,-Hans Schmidt, who murdered Anna 'Aumuller, became frenzied today at the coroner's Inquest Into the death of his victim, rose from his seat, ripped ,from his heck the rosary he had worn ever since his Incaroeratton, tore it into many bits and hurled them at the newspaper reporters sitting half a dozen steps away.

Schmidt will be placed on trial for the murder of Anna Aumul ler, whom he slew as she slept, dis membered and sank In the Hudson river on September 2 last., 'Mr. Whitman's opinion, It is under stood, Is based on the conclusions of the four alienists who have examined Schmidt In the Tombs at Mr. Whitman's behest. Their formal report will be made soon. Schmidt's outburst of temper occurred in the presence of a Jury of millionaires empanstled to conduct the Inquest. The verdict was quickly round. It follows: 3Ve, the Jury, believe that Anna Au muller came, to- her death on Beptembor 2, 1913, at No. 68 Bradhurst avenue, at the hands of Hans Schmidt." v Schmidt -was remanded to the Tombs without ball tq await the action of the grand jury. . Theodore P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit company, was foreman of the Jury. His fellow Jurors Included Vincent Aster, B. J. Greenhut, merchant; Mortimer lUgsns- berg, cigar manufacturer, and E. S. Marston, banker. During the examination of witnesses not a trace of emotion crossed '.Sohmidt's face. ,bu Ooreptr FJenWr chafre seemed-lo lash' the'prlsonerMnto- a sudden tempest of fury.

"Do ypu wish to place your client on t,ho stand?" Corortir Flenberg next asked counsel for Schmidt. The answer was In the. negative and the coroner, ap parently expecting that Schmidt vtuld testify, asked If the priest had anything to' Jay. "JJothlng whatever," replied the lawyer. The coroner's charge was brief. He told the jury that It could find that Anna Aumuller came to her death at the hands of an unknown pers6n 01- that she was killed by a person to be named by the Jury. Within fifteen minutes from the time the first witness had taken the stand the jury had withdrawn. Within ten mlnutea mord it had returned with Its verdict. Counsel for Schmidt Issued a statement this afternoon saying thai his client's outbreak had been provoked by the coro ner, who had made "a holiday" of the Inquest and had appealed to public spirited citizens for funds to bury Anna Aumuller. Schmidt resented this, he said, and hurled his rosaFy and some coins at the newspaper men because he thought they were laughing at the coroner's un usual appeal. Prosecutor Attacks Charters of Social Clubs in St, Louis ST. IXUISr Oct. 3. Circuit Attorney Harvey today opened what he called a "war of extermination against 'lid' blubs" in St. Louis by filing quo war ranto proceedings against the St. Louis VJub, the Missouri Athletic club and the Brewery Workers' association of Missouri to compel them to show why their charters should not be revoked. The proceedings are brought on the allegation that the defendant organiza tions have been selling Intoxicants with out a state license. The St. Louis club is a social organiz ation ot wealthy St. Loulsans and tha Missouri Athletic club Is a social and ath'letlc . club combined. Since .the, Sunday and 1 o'clock closing laws have been enforced In St. Louis, numerous so-called "lid clubs" have sprung up" In the city. These clubs when attacked in the courts have sought refuge under a supreme court decision of 1S90 holding (hat the St Louis club was not a dram shop within the meaning of the law. Circuit Attorney Harvey said he ad advised several wealthy members of various clubs to have their organiza tions take, put dram shop. Hcense, but they declined on the ground that they did not caie to be classed as saloon keepers. ' Mr. Harvey said he filed the suits against the clubs named on the theory that no distinction should be made be tween rich men's clubs and those of poor men.

Egyptian Cotton BrofitablvEaised' " in. the Southwest ATLANTIC- CITT,, K. J.. 6ct. i-Thi government's experiment ih growing Egyptian, cotton Jn the Irrigated, section! of the southwest has shown that such cotton nlay be raised nUccessfutly there and at fair profit, according to Carl B. Schdtield, agriculturist, In charge of western Irrigation farming, of the United States Department of Agriculture. In an address delivered today before the Na tional Association ot Cdtton Manufac turers Mr. Bchofleld announced the re sults of the' experiment. A supply of seid obtained joy the gov ernment and distributed among seventy five farmers In- Arizona and California, sufficed to plant 630 acres. In the Salt River valley, Arizona where the best re sults were obtained, Mr. rlchofleld said thirty-two farmers planted "303 acres. Their several fields were measitfed and a record, kept of the harvest. This rec ord Mr. Schofleld read as follows: Yield of fiber. Averago Size of field, acres. Total, pounds. r,62T 3.S72 3,81 994 3,2(5 10.1S0 RfW7 1,441 791 6 65S per aore pounds. 747 729 714 700 ess 66T 673 606'" 490 6.32 -I:: 35 43. 4.7R 15.25 10.38 .,2.K 1,62 13.45 US Alfalfa has proved to be the best alter netting crop to be used with this cotton, Mr. Schofleld said. The quality of the cotton was excellent, some of the lint stapling slightly more than one and one half inches and the bulk one and seven, sixteenth Inches. The price obtained for the cotton, ho said, varied between 21 and 23 cents a pound. About 1,00 pounds of seed cotton of the Tfuma variety the kind used, yielded a fcOO-pound bale and the cotton seed obtained therefore was more than sufficient to pay for the ginning and baling, even when sold to an oil mill at the low figure of $15 a ton. Mr. Schofleld estlmuted the cost of pro ducing an aero of Egyptian cotton-basing his estimate on averages at approxi mately J61, exclusive of Interest on land Investments. This he divided as followsj Seed, tillage and Irrigation, $15; picking (1,S00 pounds seed cotton), $36; ginning and baling,- t'lO. As the average yield In the Salt. River valley experiment was In excess of a bale an acre the profit was consequently a good one approximating $50 an acre. Nebraska Water Power Ilompany is Incorporated PIERRE, S.
