The morning session of the mining
stock exchange yesterday was a tur-
bulent one Several members seemed
to take as personal afronts the criti-
cism by the newspapers of the dishon-
est methods Of certain brokers. Z. A.
Hartenstein tried to present a resolu-
ton denouncing the press, but he was
howled down by the crowd in the gal
leries. President D. II. Peery made a
speech, scoring the papers for desig-
mating the members of this exchange
az common thieves and liars" A reso-
luton was passed by an overwhelming
vote, requesting the governing board to
pass rule abOlishing all dealing in
futures, but the beard later decided
to postpone action on this until Dec. l.
Before acting on the resolution the
members Of the exchange INDUCED in a
discussion of the system of ''shorting."
After action had been taken and an
attempt had been made to go on with
the call there was such a pandemOnium
that Caller Jones declared the session
adjourned and left his stand. Presi-
dent Peery called J. T. Goodwin to
the callers stand however, and the
session was resumed.
The spectators seats were thrOnged
when the session opened. The brokers
were greatly worked up over the de-
nuneiatiOn by the newspapers of dis
honest methods. and the general public
manifested unusual interest.
President Peery's Statement.
When the list had been half called
President PeeTy mounted the callers
stand and on the plea of having the
members discuss and pass on a recon-
mendatiOn to the governing board to
do away with dealing in futures" he
paved the way for turning the gather
ing into a sort Of mutual vindication
session.
1T has been suggested to the govern
ing board" said President Peery. that
the rule permitting trading in futures
be abolished, and before taking action
We should like to have an expression
from the members. SO far as I am
individually concerned, 1 see no rea-
son for a change, but the board is
ready to hear suggestions.
4 notice that the papers have taken
occasion to designate the members, of
this exchange as common thieves and
liars, and I want to personally resent
hIdA insulting liupuldltUL.
A motion was made that ''as the pub
lie seems to be clamOring for it" the
future rule be abolished.
H. 3. Cole, Herman Bamberger and
Guthrie spoke against the motion and
in favor of the present rule allowing
'shorting." e G.. WOolley, jr.. w. H
West and L. p. Mark favored the new
rule. A. T. Kerr and Herman Hill
wanted the opportunities for short
ing to be increased by allowing de-
livery in ten days, instead of i've
days
During all the discussion the differ
ent members undertook to explain the
'shorting" schemes for the benefit of
the big audience. H. w. Doseher and
w II. Clark both thought the public
would like to see "shorting" stopped.
and they believed the public should

ty; Van l.. Rouse of Colorado Springs,

Fair managers, The board was COM
pletcd by the governor yesterday under
| the provisions of the law introduced
by Representative Bell Under the
law the board must meet in Denver
within fifteen days and elect vice
president, secretary and treasurer.
The treasurer will be required TO give
q $4,000 bond TO the state. After the
first meeting, regular meetings will be
held at the capitol the first Monday of
each month until opening of the fair
in st. Louis, when headquarters will
be moved TO that city. A room in the
capitol will be set aside for the use of
the commission.
The commission is empowered to ex-
pend $500 year for clerical help.
The commissioner in chief is to receive
salary of $3.50 year 10 be paid
monthly and the other members will
receive S5 day for the time they are
actually engaged in connection with
the duties of commissioner. The bill
also approprlates $4,000 10, he spent
during this year or next, leaving S30.-
600 for the last year of the term of

not go out OF office until December 81,

ers, city councils and other public and
private corporations win be called up
on to aid the commission with money
and exhibits.
A question has been raised over the
method which the bill provides for the
drawing of orders upon the state treas
urer for expenses and salaries. All
that the bill requires is that these or
ders should be properly audited and
approved by the members of the com
mission. State Treasurer Chipley says
that he will not pay any money except
on a warrant from the state auditors
Office, and Auditor Crouter has not vet
determined what status the claims of
the commission would have in his Of
flee. Governor Orman In reference to
this question said yesterday:
Il have seen several stories about
the defects of the bill creating the
commission, especially the clauses pro-
viding for the issuance of vouchers.
Two bills for the appointment of
commission came up during the Cen
eral Assembly, and Mr. Bells bill was
SO amended as TO contain all the good
points OF both. The commission will
not incur any indebtedness until there
are some available funds in the state
treasury and the financial end of the
commission will be thoroughly dis
cussed at It's first meeting. l am sure
that there are no serious obstacles In

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
UPHOLD COLONIAL TARIFFS

Majority-Brown, Shiras, White,
Gray, McKenna-5. Minority-Fuller,
Harlan. Brewer Peckham-4.
The De Lima case presented little
more than an academic question. 1t
related to the right of the United
States to collect duties on imports
from Porto Rico during the time be-
tween the signing of the treaty of
peace with Spain and the day when
Congress passed the Foraker act. The
court held that duties could not be col
lected during that time. The duties
which were collected must be refund
ed. This decision was Il nominal de-
feat for the claims of the administra-
ton.
In the Downes, decision, however,
the administration won sweeping VIC
tory. That decision holds that since
Congress- acted and ordered duties to
be collected it is proper to collect
them-in other words, that power to
determine the status of Porto Rico
and other similar acquisitions is re-
posed In Congress. r...,.
