11E sOIIH'S COTTON BELT.
President Walmsley Says Its Develop
mcnt Must be Pushed.
(By the Associated Press.

Nby lUG Associated GGeSS.)
Boston, Mass, April 27.-In his an
nual address to the members of the
New England Cotton Manufacturers
association which began it's yearly
convention here today President Her
bert E. Walmsley said that one of
the most pressing questions engaging
the attention of the cotton world to-
day was that of the development of
the resources of the Southern cotton
belt. He said that it was essential to
the interests of the United States, as
a producer manufacturer and export
er of cotton, that the supply from our
fields be increased and it's cost re-
duced so as to retain an enormous
source of wealth to the country. He
expressed the belief that the trade
would never be free from unlawful
high prices, speculation and unsatis-
factory and harmful fluctuations, until
there is ample supply of the raw ma
terial.'
Mrs. Walmsley thought that the re-
suit of the disastrous twelve months
just passed with its shortage of cot
ton and it's speculative manipulation
would ultimately prove q blessing in
disguise for the entire manufacturing
world. 1t was not unreasonable, he
said to anticipate a revival of trade
at remuneratiVe prices and a return
to long period of prosperity. Speak
ing of the labor problem the president
said it might be long time before a
uniform working day or week was es-
tablished in the United States, but
when the necessity for it was recog-
nized, he said, it would inevitably
come. He pointed out that the mar
gin of profit in cotton manufacture
ing was now so small that such a diff
ference as exists in the working hours
in different States, particularly be-
tween the North and South, is enough
to compel a removal to the South
where there are longer labor dc
or else a suspension of business al
together.
Mr.. Walmsley said that it would APP
pear that relief may come through
immigration from Southern Europe
for the development of the cotton
fields. He suggested that the economic
necessity might become so pressing as
to justify and even demand the i'm
portation of some form of Asiatic la
Dor; for instance, the Japanese. The
operatives, he said, were the chief suf-
ferers from the lack of raw material
and the situation had become intoler-
able.
Theodore H. Price, of New York,
read paper upon THE Cotton Sit
uation' in connection with which he
referred to an alleged breach between
the producers of cotton and the pur-
chasers. He said that he did not be-
lleve any such antagonism existed
but thought there was bitter feeling
towards the Spectators. Mr. Price
held that the American spinner is in
a position to exert a tremendous pow
er IN restraining immoderate specula-
ton stability of values

THE sMOoT INVESTIGATION.
T.. e. Abbott, Sheriff of Davis county,
Utah, Before the COMMITTEES.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, D. c., April 27.-L. e.
Abbott, sheriff of Davis county, Utah,
was before the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections today in the
Smoot investigation. He was examin-
ed in regard to Apostle John w. Tay-
lor who he said is reputed to have five
wives.
These wives are known as Nettie
Wooley, who has five children rang
ing from IL to 2 years, and Nellie
Todd, who has six children ranging
from 15, 16 to 2 years, all of whom
are recognized as apostle Taylor's chill
dren. Two other wives of Apostle
Taylor, said Mr.. Abbott, are Rhoda
and RoXie yelling, who are about 23
or "a years of age. 1t was reported
two years ago that they had been mar
ried to Taylor. One was working for
Nettie Wooley and the other for Mel
lie Todd, both as domestics.
Senator Overman wanted to know
if their ages had been given correct
ly at about "a years. The witness
said he believed that to be about their
ages.
''Then they have been married
II don't know, / have told you all
l know about them;'' responded the
witness.
Attorney Taylor placed in the
record a letter written to Senator
Burrows by President Joseph f.
Smith, respecting his inability tc
have Mormons come to Washington
to testify before the committee. He
says that John Henry Smith, Mariner
w. Merrill and George Teasdale are
i'll and that John w. Taylor and M
F. Cowley were unwilling voluntarily

.CRU|M is REJECTED.
An Effort to Confirm His
Nomination Again
Fails.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, April 27-The nomi-
nation of William d. Crum, to be coll
leetor of the port of Charleston, S.
c. was considered today in executive
session of the Senate lasting from 4 :35
D. m. to 9:15. A failure to confirm
the appointment was the result. Sem
ators Gallinger, Spooner, Hale and
Aldrich were for confirmation, and
Senators Daniel, .Latimer, German and
Clay against confirmation. Senators
Spooner and Daniels, on opposite sides
of the question, made the principal
speeches. The former defended the
Republican policy in relation to free
and equal citizenship without regard
to racial prejudices, and the latter de-
clared that the policy Of elevating ne
groes to high positions was contrary
to the established law of centuries,
that the Anglo-Saxon race is the chos-
en- people to govern the world.
After the doors were closed, Senator
Gallinger, who had charge of the NOM
nation, called attention to the several
times the nomination had been sent
to the Senate and the long period it
had been prevented from coming to a
vote Senators Latimer and German
discussed the question of Senatorial
courtesy, saying that Senator Tillman,
now i'll at his home in South Carolina
and unable to be present. Senator
Spooner then contended that the Re-
publican party should not be asked to
surrender it's convictions as to the
rights of man; that the negro is held
to be a citizen and as such is entitled
to participate in the government He
said the negro had been a good citizen,
had not been lacking in soldiery or in
any form of defense of the country
and that he is asking too much of the
Republican, party to put it in the po-
sition of abandoning the policy of civil
liberty, which he said was the chief
significance and the foundation of the
party.
In reply Senator Daniel declared
that the appointment of negroes to
high political office, such as that to
which Crum has been named, sets the
race dreaming of rights inconsistent
with the position of negroes in society
and inflicts more harm than good on
both races. He said such appointments
tend to make the negro arrogant and
offensive in bearing and infiame the
race prejudiceS in the South and all
places where negroes reside in great
number.
AT this point Senator Cockrell said
that it was apparent the question is a
difficult one, but he doubted not that
Providence eventually would point the
way to a solution consistent with the
desires of the whites and the interest
of the blacks. That time. he said, had
not arrived, however, and he proposed
and the Senate decided to resume legis-
lative session and to take up the pen
sion calendar.
The Crum nomination dies with the
adjournment of the present session,
but the action of the Democrats in
taking a position which Republicans
term a filibuster, they argue will war;
rant the President in again making
recess appointment.
and other minor bills the Senate adj
journed at 1902 o'clock until 1920
o'clock tomorrow.

KNOX REPLIES TO WILLIAMS.

Y
Washington, ID. c., April 27.-Attor-
ney-general Knox today transmitted
to the House replies to the two reso-
buttons of inquiry introduced by Mr..
Williams (Miss), relative to trusts. He
says that no criminal prosecutions
have been instituted against the per-
sons involved in the Northern Securi-
ties company. In reply to the inquiry
whether any investigation has been
made into the so-called anthracite coal
trust the Attorney general says an in
veStigation was begun into the coal
trust, but had not proceeded far un-
til it was discovered that if such
combination existed, the evidence OF
it's existence had been adroitly con-
cealed, and that if it was to be estab-
lished would largely depend upon the
governments ability to secure eVi-
dence of a chain of circumstances
which, in the aggregate, would eslap-
lish a combination"
AS the Department OF justice pos
sessed no powers to compel the pro-
duction of persons and papers the
subject was taken up with the Inter-
State Commerce commission with
view to ascertaining the facts. ABOUT
