COTTON MEN SAY OFFER
OF GERMANY VALUELESS
Lack of Government Insurance Would
Prevent Shipments
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 It was ascer-
tnlned by the Southern Commercial Con
gress that the German offer Is practically
valueless, because the Federal War Rlk
Insurance Bureau will not Insure cotton
cargoes and the rates charged by private
Insurance companies are prohibitive.
The elimination of Government Insur
ance competition and tho hazard Involved,
tt Is said, make It Impossible to attempt
to Insure cotton, which Great Britain has
put on the contraband list.
A convention of cotton-producers to dl.
cuss the entire cotton problem may be
held here this month, according to re
liable reports today. Southern legisla
tors and cotton-producers are said to be
formulating plana for such a gathering.

HAD DRAMATIC ENDING
Mexican Raider and Followers

American Posse Fell
Upon Them
EL PABO, Texas, Sept. l.-Tho killing
of General Pnscual Orozco was highly
dramatic, according to details received
licro today. The Mexican loader, with
his men, wete surrounded as they camped
In 4 cuhyort between the Eagle And Lone
some mountains.
Twenty-four American ranchmen, cus
tom ofllclals and troopers of the 13th cav
alry formed the posso that, killed the

Word was passed over the Big Bend
country by rural telephone on Sunday
that tho raiders were In the, vlclnjty" afid
Immediately all the ranch houses were
In p. state of activity. Ten ranchers set
out to trail Oroxco and at every ranch
recruits joined tho posse.
The chaso was through the wildest part
of the Big Bend country, The Mexicans
finally were rounded up In the canyon.
Scouts sent ahead reported that Orozco
and hlcmen were around a campfire, with
their horses hobbled somo distance away.
The posse then closed In and the killing of
the leader followed.
Alt of the men of the Big Bend sec
tion were under arms today, fearing that
Mexicans might attempt a raid irt re
prisal for Oroxco's death. It was believed
here that Orozco 'was attempting to or
ganize disaffected Mexicans of all factions
Into a nationalist party with the object
bf lnadlng Texas, Appeal has been made
from Sierra Blanca for more troops to

TO SELL RISK CONCERN
TO MAKE UP SHORTAGE
Another Insurance Company to
Take Over Business With
Depleted Capital
Murdock Kendrlck, attorney for the di
rectors of the American Assurance Com
pany, met a. representative of another
insurance company -at the offices of John
C. Bell. In the Land Title Building, today,
and discussed the terms under which the
American Assurance Company's .buslnert
will bo turned over to the other concern.
The terms will be submitted, to Insur
ance Commissioner Johnson today for his
approval, and the transaction will bo
completed on Friday, following a meeting
of the directors at 13th and Spring Gar
den streets. Mr. Kendrlck refused to
divulge the name of the purchasing; com
pany, but said a format announcement
will be made on Friday.
Today's developments followed two nil
day sessions of the directors behind closed
doors In an effort to meet a J2,HM Impair
ment of tho capital stock, discovered by
Insurance Inspector William J. Roney
last week. A. J. Simpson, president of the
company, who was conspicuous by his
absence from the directors' meetings,
could not be found today, but It Is snld
that he will be present at tho meeting
Friday.
The directors decided to tell to the In
surance company rather than continue tho
business by meeting the Impairment
from their own pockets.
Mr. Bell, who represents the creditors,
whtlo declining to state the name of the
Insurance company which had made the
offer, said that the price offered Is satis
factory, and that tho stockholders would
sustain little, It any, loss, should the deal
be conaumated.
Speculation has been aroused by tho
continued absence of President Simpson,
and alt Inquiries as to his whereabouts
and his Intention to return to the city
havo been mt with "Don't know whero
he is, but expect him to return soon."
He has been variously reported as being
In Indianapolis, Now York and other
cities, but these reports have never been
verified, and It was rumored at yester
day's mectlhg that he has been in the
city all the time, but did not care to
appear at the meetings.
Demand was mado upon Simpson, ac
cording to Mr. Bell, for the return of
921? shares of stock given him last year
when he went to Indianapolis nnd brought
back mortgages aggregating $77,100, which
wore listed In the assets of tho company.
Shortly afterward, Simpson was given
the mortgages again to take back to in
dlanapolls to be transferred and recorded.
Since thnt time they have not even been
In tho nominal possession of the com
pany, While the stock has not been returned,
Mr. Hell said that his clients knew whero
the shares wore and would eventually
get possession of them. The demand for
them was made because, It Is said, noth
ing was given for them except tho tem
porary loan of the mortgago paper.
