RISE IN COTTON JUSTIFIED
SAYS GENERAL IA. 6. BUTLER

from Secretary Wilson, of the agricultu-
raj department. concerning the advance
in the price of cotton and containing some
severe structures upon the men who late
ly have been operating in the cotton
market. The secretary of agriculture dld
not hesitate to characterize them as
gamblers. and to severely criticise them
as such.
Eyes, I have seen what was said to
have been the expression of opinion of
Secretary Wilson," said General Butler
land | must think that he spoke without
correct information. Indeed l am bound
to say that he seemed not % know what
he was talking about. The gentlemen to
whom he refers as gamblers, MesSrs
Brown and Hayne. are not only among
the most reputable business mer in the
country, but are gentlemen of the hlSh-
est character. One of them Mr.. Hayne,
is from my own state, and I think he Will
stand fair comparison. as will Mr.. Bro"n,
from Mississippi, with Secretary wilson
or anybody in official or business HE.
must say | was surprised at what APP
peared to me to be very reckless charse'
one which was not justified by the facts.
"The fact Is that Messrs- Brown ana
Hayne have done more for the producers
OF cotton the farmers, IN few months,
than the department of agriculture mas
done in ten wears. | was somewhat sur
prised at Secretary Wilson, for he did not
appear to get into a frenzy of indignation
when certain other gentlemen in the west
were making a corner on wheat and corn
which enhanced the value of these TWO
commodities and from which the farmers
got the benefit.
"The secretary seems to be particularly
concerned ABOUT the operators and the
cotton mills: that the cotton mills nave
had to shut down and put out of employ
ment a large number of employees, ana
that therefore it's a great wrong upon the
cotton mills. Now in regard TO thdt,
Messrs. Brown and Hayne simply bought
cotton from the bears in the cotton mar
ket and required them to denver the COT
ton and, of course, the price went up
las a rule the managers OF the cotton
mills all over the country are bears and
sympathize with the bear operators. Very
naturally, their interest is to lower the
price of the raw material. and they heed
ed the representations made by the bear
operators, exaggerated the last crop OF
cotton and failed to provide themselves
with the raw material to Keep their mills
going That is all there is in that.
"Can you say anything with reference
to the profits in manufacturing cotton
cloth from the raw cotton?
''Well, only in very general way. "A
friend of mine who is largely interested in
the manufacture of cotton in the south
gave me some statistics at one time of
the profits from say a pound of raw cot
ton converted into the finished product,
and | am told that in many instances
that profit has been anywhere from 10
per cent 20 70 per cent, which, of course.
Is very gratifying to me, for I didn't want
to see the cotton mills of the north, or,
the south either, crippled in any way.
But they have not paid a fair price for

the south.

| am correctly informed it was only about

were better informed they would have

In other words, Messrs. Brown and
Hayne had better information as to the
actual crop than the manufacturers OF
cotton?'
"Unquestionaby."

They simply took advantage Of it and
acted upon ii, and they required the bears
to deliver the cotton that they bought,

VERDICT UPHELD.
Missouri Court Sustains Judg-
ment in Shepherd Case.

Jefferson City, Mo, Oct. 13.-The state
supreme court today handed down it's
decision in the case of Editor Shepherd,
the Warrensburg newspaper man who
was fined $500 several months ago on
the charge of contempt in that he pub
lished an article attacking the court.
The opinion, which is written by JUS
tice Marshall. and concurred in by all
the other judges, is very lengthy and
cites cases, beginning with the time of
Caesar. to show that this court has
inherent power and jurisdiction to nun
ish contempt summarily." After say
ing that the article in Shepherds paper
had in reality attacked the honesty, in
tegrity and purity of every branch of
the state government and of the sew
eral officers, it continues: IF these
charges are true the persons who are
thus charged should be prosecuted and
removed from office. On the other hand,
anyone who makes such charges should
be prepared to make some sort of a
decent showing of their truth
Judge Marshall says that instead of
proving his charges, or making the
amende honorable by Withdrawing g
them and apologizing for his offense.
Shepherd challenged the jurisdiction of
the court and sought to escape on tech
nical grounds. The action of the court
in fining Editor Shepherd is upheld

Two Women Witnesses in MUIR
der Case Dismissed at Asylum.

Alma Oberg and Ethel Bone, attend
ants in. ward ; at the insane asylum.
and witnesses in the recent Neel-Peter-
son murder trial, were dismissed from
their positions at the asylum last Satur-
day by Superintendent Biddle. 1t is
claimed that they were put out because
their testimony was not satisfactory to
the officials of the institution. Superin-
tendent Biddle, however, gives a differ
ent version.
rs is true that Alma Oberg and Ethel
Bone We're dismissed?" he was asked
today.
YES" replied Mr.. Biddle.
"On what ground?''
f'Because it was decided that their
usefulness as employees of this institu-
tion had terminated said the superin-
tendent.
WAS it because of their testimony in
the Neel-Peterson case?''
.'Oh, / don't know as that had much
to do with it. The fact is. l decided
that it was not for the best interests of
the institution to have those two women
here any longer. The Oberg woman was
supposed to be in charge of that ward
where Maxwell met his death. and
have never been able to reconcile this
affair with the testimony which she
gave. It doesn't seem that she could
have been 90 ignorant of what occurred
if she was attending to her business
Ethel Bone was also an attendant in
that ward, and she was dismissed for
reasons similar to those relating to
Alma Oberg.'
Tt is claimed that superintendent Bid
die thinks that the two women did not
tell all they knew about the case, and
that if they had done SO. it would have
tended to clear the reputation of the in
StitutiOn.
