STAUNTON, Va., July 22.—Jaixies
Eads How, “millionaix-e hobo,” died in
a Staunton hospital today, of pneu-
monia, “evidently superinduced by
stax-vation,” physicians said.
How was 56 yeax-s old and a mem-
ber of one of the wealthiest families
of St. Louis, where he was born. His
grandfather was the distinguished en-
gineer, James Eads, who built the
bridge over the Mississippi river at
St. Louis.
The body was sent tonight to Wash-
ington, whore it will be met by a
bx-other, Louis How. In accordance
with How’s wishes, it will be cre-
mated.
How arrived in Staunton last Fri-
day, in a weak apd enfeebled condi-
tion, and registex-ed at a hotel. For
several clays he appeax-ed in the lob-
by, but was in the dining room only
a few times, Hotel employes said he
ate very little, axxd told thexxx he was
a vegetarian because of stomach trou-
ble.
He was found to be ill Monday, and
was renxoved to the hospital today.

spend most of his years in the com-
panionship of hoboes, and at nearly

AUSTIN, July 23.—Possibility of
a short cotton crop because of the
severe drought of July was seen Tues-
day by Geox-ge B. Tei*rell, state com-
missioner of agriculture, on the basis
of crop reports received from moi-e
than 200 counties as of July 15.
“Only a few counties report any
rain in July,Z the statemen said, “and
cotton is failing for lack of moisture.
The ci'op is repox-ted good in only a
few7 counties and it appeal’s the crop
may be as shoi*t as last year.”
He estimated the cotton aci-eage had
decreased 6 per cent. Damage to the
late hay ci'op vyas anticipated if the
drought continued, and wheat was
said to be in poor condition, due to
the extreme drought of March and
April, with the estimated yield eight
bushels per acre.
Corn was reported in good condition
from Austin south to the coast and in
some counties of Centi-al and North
Texas.

But Texas will likely go on send-
ing a bunch of corporation lawyers

muster a nlajority for more bad legis-

ten years probably.

make the voters coxne alive. If they
