GREENE and GAYNoR.
MIR. Erwin Says Evidence is
Abundant Against the Men.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Marion Erwin,
special assistant to the Attorney
General in charge for the Government
of the suits for the recovery of the
funds charged to have been embezzled
by Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter, formerly
of the corps of engineers of the army,
was at the department of justice to-
day. Being asked as to the truth of
the rumors that Carter would turn
States evidence, and be used by the
Government as witness against
Green and Gaynor, and at the same
time would endeavor to recover the
half million dollars which the Govern
ment has tied up in the hands of re-
ceivers on actions pending in various
States, Mr.. Erwin said:
"There is nothing in that whatever
the government does not need Carter's
evidence to convict Greene and Gaynor.
The evidence to convict them is sup
erabundant. What the Government
needs is to have Greene aud Gaynor in
such a position that the evidence
already at hand can be used against
them before a jury of their fellow
countrymen, and we have no fear Of
the result. Whether we get them in
that position will depend largely upon
the decision of the British privy coun-
Gil, before which the appeal from the
decision Of Justice Carom, of Quebec,
discharging them on habeas corpus,
is now pending"

today in the Philo S. Bennett will
case, holding that the sealed letter
directing Mrs. Bennett. the widow, to

letter unless the present decision is
reversed by higher Court, or unless
he should be successful in legal pro-
ceedings against Mrs. Bennett in the
event that the $50, 600 should be paid
under Clause IL of the will which fol-
lows:
"Twelfth. I give and bequeath unto
my wife, Grace Imogene Bennett, the
sum of fifty thousand dollars 1850, C00)
in trust, however, for the purpose set
forth in sealed letter which will be
found with said will
The text of the letter was made pub
lie at one of the hearings on the will.
Mr.. Bryan was not present when the
decision was announced, but his attor-
neys said he would appeal from Judge
Cleveland's decision.

LOOKS LIKE ~ CENT COTTON.
Lively Transactions on the Cot
ton Exchange Friday.

New York, Nov. 6.-There was
sensational active trade in cotton this
morning, and once more prices we're
forced upward at record rate. The
market opened 4 points down on the
near months to an advance of II points,
and soon after the opening was some
13 to 15 points net higher on excited
covering by those who sold on yester-
days. break, a good demand from spot
people and further aggressive support
from the local bull leaders. After
reaching 10.68 for December, 1908 for
January, 10. so for March and 1885 for
May, there was heavy realizing and
some pressure from Wall street bear
sources. The market eased off or 5
points, although it continued very
active and excited.
After declining matter of II to 18
points from the best prices of tie
morning under liquidation and Wall
street bear pressure, encouraged by the
heavy estimates for tomorrow's re-
ceipts at leading points, the market
was rallied gain by the persistant sup
port of local bull interests, who were
inclined to lay stress upon the fact
that the "into sight, for the week was
less than estimated; that the exports
were full and the southern markets
generally steady at unchanged prices to
an advance of e. At first the buy
ing seems well confined to the bull
leaders, but later shorts began to cover

to new high level for the day, with
December reaching 1890, and May
1922. The market closed firm within
8 or points off the best and net 16 to
21 points higher. Sales were estimat-

aGTIFE COTTON HARkET.
Rapid Fluctnati0n on the New
York Exchange.

New York, Nov, 55.After opening
very steady at a decline of points to
an advance OF z points, the cotton
market this morning developed into
one OF the moss sensationally exciting
and active ones of recent times. Prices
were forced mp at a record rate and
trading continued very active at the
advance. December, which sold at
1925 last Monday, and had opened at
1850, was soon forced up to 1922.
January advanced to 1882, March to
10 so and May to 1921.
This represented gains since the
close of last night Of 25 to 80 points.
The gains were largely due to bullish
crop estimate, issued by a conserva-
tive local house, placing the produc-
tion at 10, ,375. coo bales. in connection
with further aggressive bull support, a
less favorable turn in the weather and
reported heavy buying by spinners.
After reaching the high mark of the
morning, when prices stood at net
gain OF 25 to SO points, the market
was rather less active and for time
displayed great frmness, in spite Of
heavy reahzings. Later, however,
rumors were to the effect that a promi
5nent New Orleans interest considered
the advance too rapid for the season !;
1T was reported that a strong Wall street
clique had been formed, receipts con-
tinned full, exports fell slightly below
estimates and offerings became more
general, with the result that in the
afternoon, while trading was very
active, prices were driven down point
by point until at the close the market
had been reduced to to II points net
advance. The market was finally steady
In tone, with sales estimated at 1, 500, :
900 bales, q total only reached once
before in the history of the market.

ROOSEVELT RECORD.
s The Country May Survive Him,
but the Republican Party Will
Wish That ne had Died When
he was a Baby

Let it be conceded that he is in his
private life yirtuous man, in his
personality cultivated and attractive
man, and what does this prove except
that, being man of trained intelli-
sgence, he is the more bounden by the
obligations of his virtue and culture
to the higher standards Of public duty? :?

old warrior. turns down noble old
admiral, and, even in his literature,
forgets great soldier like Mcclellan.
Low shall we mince our words about
such man?
The key to his character is ambition.
He has made politics the business Of
his life, letting no grass grow beneath
