So Announces Daniel J. SuIIy Re.
gardins the Failure Of His
Cotton Company.
CREDITORS GETTlNGNERvoUS
Unable to Get Statement Re-
garding Condition Of Affairs
and Feel That They May
Go Smash Any Time.

New York. March 1s.--"My suspen-
sion is only temporary" said Daniel
J. sully, the cotton speculator the
suspension OF whose firm shook the
speculative world yesterday. He made
this declaration upon reaching his
home after a conference at his office
extending late into the night.
Il do not care to add anything to
that simple statement" he continued,
"and ! shall not have any further
statement TO make"
Mr.. sully apparently was no more
downcast than he was exultant not
long ago when the current report was
that he had made several millions
through the unprecedently high prices
for cotton. He would not discuss the
intlmations that there might have been
treachery at some point among his
friends nor would he indicate how
soon he expected TO resume operations.
The members OF the cotton exchange
who had contracts with Daniel J. Sui
ly & Co. held meeting after the close
Of business in the governing room OF
the exchange to discusse the situation.
The were creditors OF the suspended
firm and many Of them did not know
whether they would be insolvent on
he following day or not, in case the
failure was bad one.
II was decided TO appoint a
mittee of the leading brokers, OF T1sch
John McFadden was the chairman.
They visited the Office Of sully & Co,
and made a formal inquiry as to the
amount of cotton contracts which the
firm had outstanding, No information

CRASH HALTs ACTIVITY.
Northern Securities Brishtens Market
and 5ulty Dampens II.

and oully Danpens II.
New York March f9--The ending OF
the suspense over the Northern Secur-
tiles case has resulted In marked in
crease in activity In the stock market
and a rebound in prices on short COW
ering. This came to sudden halt,
however, upon the announcement OF
the SulIy failure and the short selling
was quickly resumed in the last hour
Of Fridays session. II was accom-
panied by report that great lines of
short stock has been covered during
the two preceding sessions by SulIy
followers, but the rumors were not
substantiated. A similar rebound in
foreig1 markets marked a turn in SEN
timent there over the dangers of the
war with corresponding relief to this
market. Revival Of demand for iron
and steel products, the breaking Of the
drouth in the southwestern wheat belt,
more hopeful views Of the promise for
future railroad business by traffic Of
ficals and the announcement that the
soft coal miners viii accept wage re-
duction helped in the recovery.

was ottainable and after protracted
discussion the meeting was dissolved
without any conclusion being reached.
one Of those present said afterward: !:
we counted noses and that's about
all we did. We gathered the informa-
tion, however, that sully does not hold
100000 bales OF cotton. The amount Is
far less than 1t was supposed. I am
glad TO say. and after careful COM
pilation 1t was the opinion OF all pres
ent that safe estimate OF his hold
ings would be about 225.0o0 bales
Upon the average price Of cotton
today hinges the outcome of the fall
ure. Should this be within reasonable
bounds, the creditors will not fare 50
badly as at first might appear and
Mr.. sully's hopeful views are grounded
on this prospect.

emoot's Only Recourse.

There II one sure way in which SEN
ator smoot may save himself the hu-
initiation OF being expelled from the
United States senate. That Il by ap-
pearing' before the committee on ,privl-
leges and elections and declaring in
effect that all these disclosures an to
his fellow apostles Of the church living
in open polygamy and even sanction
Ing and performing plural marriages
since the manifesto are news 10 him:
that they come TO him as revelation;
that he does not countenance such
violations OF law, and now that he
has been made aware OF them, he dis
claims all responsibility and renounces
his connection with the church. A
leading republican member Of the
committee said TO me today that II
Senator smoot were TO do this, were
TO say 10 the committee that he has
resigned M an apostle Of the church
and actually tender his resignation
there IL no doubt as TO the action OF
the committee and the senate. They
would vote, perhaps unanimously. to
permit Senator smoot TO retain his
seat.
Whether or not Senator Smoot win
adopt this course 10 one seems 70
know. His counsel have intlmated TO
the committee that their client in
tends TO take the witness stand before
the case Is closed and to make state
ment In bis own defense. Some mem
bers OF the committee believe smoot
VIII wait till near the last minute,
and II he then believes the case likely
10 20 against him, will save himself
by rcwMhnclng all official connection
with the cAurch and resigning his
apostolic post.
