MURRY NELSON ON FUTURES.
The Chicago Operator Gives the States
men Some More Points.


men Some More Points.
WASHINGTON CITY, April l2.-Murry
Nelson, Of Chicago, made an argument be-
| fore the house committee on agriculture
yesterday in opposition TO the Butter worth
bill to prevent dealing in options and fut-
ures. He declared that all the regular com
mercial exchanges in the country were in
sympathy with the obvious intention of the
trainers of the bill-the suppression of puts
and calls and bucket-shop gambling. But
this law would kill all kinds of trading at
is known to every one said Mr.. Nelson
shat as a rule farmers want to market their
crops as soon as possible after harvest In
most cases their necessities are such that
they are unable TO bold the grain. Here
capital steps in, estimates the future value
OF grain, and advances the money on which
to move the crop, hoping to gain small
margin of profit for itself
The Whole Modus Operandi.
After saying that England and CONT
mental Europe, through the great marts of
Liverpool and Antwerp, advance a large
part of the capital required TO paw the
farmer cash for his crops, at an assumed
future value, Err. Nelson continued: THE
TO the railway station and asks the local
grain buyer for an offer The grain buyer
has but small capital, and he can go on buy
Ing only by getting the money from one of
the financial centers He takes in GUAM
tity of grain, issues warehouse or crib re-
ceipts against it, and sends these re-
ceipts TO his city correspondent as col
lateral. The city merchant in turn car
ries the receipts TO his banker and the money
is advanced. As soon as possible bills of
ladng follow from the local dealer to the
city merchant, and from the merchant to
the bank as addition security. After the ar
rival of the grain in Chicago or other center
it is warehouse and warehouse receipts issued
against it for use as collateral This is the
system which the bill would interfere with
and subject 10 harassment"
In reply TO questions Mr.. Nelson said the
local banks could not advance one-tenth of
the capital required by any process now
known in commercial dealings

IDA'S ENTERPRISE.
Seqacl to a Recent Matrimo.
NAL Incident.
THRIFTY PLANS OF FLORIDA GIRLS

Marrying Young Northerners with an
Object in View Edward Phelan's
Dream of Welded Bliss Knocked Out
by the Perfidy OF Ida Notwithstanding
News in Letter from the West-An
Ohio Girls Mistake.
Greenwich, Mass, April I2.-0n March
Is these dispatches gave an account of the
marriage of Miss Ida Aloris, of Florida to
Edward Phelan, of Orange, and the very
| business-like way that Miss Aloris demanded
before coming here to have her expenses
guaranteed both ways, in case she objected
. to her lover when she saw him Time has
produced a sequel in which the young
| woman appears in a decidedly bad light.
The couple had all their counting through
the mail a matrimonial advertisement in
serted by Ida having set the ball rolling, and
their first meeting was when she stepped
of the cars at Orange, March TO-
Seeds of Suspicion Sown.
After their marriage the couple went to
| housekeeping in a little cottage, and every
| thing went on smoothly until Phean found
in his wife's trunk letter from girl COM
panion III the west, who also had found a
husband in a similar romantic way. The
| writer said that her husband was generous
aud that she exp cite / to get several hun
dred dollars from him, and then leave. Sus-
pcion took root III the husbands heart, but
| he said nothing. Then letters began to come
| from the south to Ida, written in a mascu-
line hand. Naturally tue loving husband
wanted TO know the contents, bat Ida re-
fused to divulge.
A Letter That a Tale Unfolied.
Edward finally secured of the letters
| and found it filled with protestations of
love, and urging thu pretty brunette to ever
remain true and faithful to him, notwith-
standing her marriage, and that he on his
part would remain true TO her. Then there
was 'ruction." Hot words and then sharp
| blows were exchanged, and after this very
naturally came separation. The unfortu-
| nate young man knew there was no divorce
for him, as both he and his wife are Roman
Catholics, but he strOve to learn how badly
he had been taken in, and wrote to the chief
of police at Tampa.
Another Lover at Tampa.
The reply assured him that the girl had
lover there, and that their marriage had
been forbidden by his parents. Thursday
Ida received a money-ordeT from the Tampa
young man and announced her intention of
quitting Orange yesterday. The theory is
that this game is not altogether a novel
one in the Ian of alligators and that there
are a good many men in the north who have
had similar experiences with enteiprising
daughters of the sunny south
