Especial to News and ObseEver)
New York, Aug. 81. 19O5.-John
Shelton Williams, of Richmond, Va,
former president and chief owner OF
the Seaboard Air Line Railway, is
sued a circular today making another
vigorous attack on Thomas f. Ryan
and John A. Blair, who now control
the road. The circular contains copies
of recent controversial letters between
Mr.. Williams and the Baltimore bank
ing firm of Hambleton and Company,
who also are stockholders
THE one way to keep the hands or
the Ryan-B Blair party out of your
pockets" wrote Mr.. Williams, lis to
make them realize that they are known
and watched, and that every attempt
they make upon the rights and money
of the stockholders will be stubbOrnly
and promptly resisted. They took our
stock partly by a confidence game and
partly with club.
II am convinced that meek and
quiet acceptance of the situation, and
dumb acCuieScence in the leadership
Of Messrs. Ryan and Blair will pro-
mote their plans of spoilation and re-
suit in giving them not only control
but possession of the property and
rich returns for which the original
stockholders invested their money"
you gentlemen of the majority are
placing lamb before the Blair wolf.
The lamb strove for peace and got it
dead inside the wolf and assimilated
in his system"
Referring to financial stringency
which enabled Ryan and Blair to get
a hold on the Seaboard, Mr.. Williams
wrote:
Under the leadership Of John l..
Williams & Sons and j. William Mid
dendorf & Company, the Seaboard Air
Line system was created, organized,
nursed and developed. Standing 10y
ally by the stockholders we assumed
very heavy burdens. We could have
carried these even through CONNER
cial disturbances with the general aid
of our friends, but We could not cal
culate on or permanently resist DELHI
crate treachery. and the frightening OF
our friends and allies by a course of
long, continued, steady threat and
pressure and artful manufacture and
dissemination of falsehool
I'VE were despoiled by methods and
conditions without precedent in our
experience. Our two firms have paid
to their creditors in settlement of their
obligations at 100 cents on taA dollar
and interest in less than two years
more than $4,000.
I'VE have abundantly proved that
Messrs. Ryan and Blair depolled and
deceived us. From that fact the plain
argument is that thew will despoil ami
more than $1,000 Cd

THE PLACE ASHEvILLE
And the Date is September Six. Theo
dore Price is Pushing This Move
ment Which MAY. RevoIutionize
the Cotton Business of the
Whole Country.
Whole Country.

Especial to News and Observer ,
New York, Aug. 31.-Cotton broke
badly today. 1t was a result of the
knowledge of meeting to be held in
Asheville, N. c., September 6, at the
instance of Theo. w. Price. of cottoA
growers and manufacturers, to agree
upon prices of raw cotton and main
tain them with a view of preventing
such corners, as Brown and Sully es-
tablished in 1903 and 1904. This pro-
posed meeting has alarmed bull spec
ulatorS and II was said today that the
Brown and Sully bull pools had sus-
pended operations to await results.
If Mr.. Prices efforts are successful,
as they promise to be, the entire cot
ton business of the country will be
reVolutioniZed and the speculative ele-
ment in the staple to a great extent
eliminated. Mr.. Price seeks to form d
big community of interests among the
cotton produce and cotton manufac-
turers, the middle men, the exporters
and the foreign buyers, and to proven:
corners, which while temporarily bene :
fitting the South, paralyZe the milling
industry in New England and Great
Britain.
The principal branches of the cotton
industry will meet for the first time al
Ashevile, when the meeting of the
executive committee of the Southern
Cotton Association is held there. 1t is
hoped that the New England Cotton
Association, the American Manufac-
turers Association, the British FEEDER
alton of Master Cotton Spinners and
the Southern Cotton Association Will
be represented.
1t is expected that a board of APP
praisers will be formed to agree upon
a fair basis of prices which the planter
is to receive for his crop.
Mr. Price made public today let
ter to himself from President Jordan,
of the Southern Association indorslng
the project in part and promising
that representatives of manufacturers
will q be cordially welcomed by the
Southern men, and expressing the be-
lief that a satisfactory agreement as to
prices can be made.

TOXIC STILL IN THE DARK.
Many Believing that Japan Has Made
Material Concessions, are Criti-
cising and Directing.

Toxic, Aug. 81, 1900 a. m.-The
public continues to be without infor-
nation regarding the agreement of
the peace ENJOYS at Portsmouth. The
division of the island of Sakalin and
the waving of Indemnity are not yet
publicly known.
Despite the lack of information,
many people are convinced that the
Japanese government has made sub
stantial concessions. and already are
criticising and objecting. Unless the
terms prove to be better than were
anticipated, 1t is certain that the
compact will prove unpopular and be
bitterly assaied by the press and by
the diet which is expected to meet in
special session shortly. The radical
elements are asserting that cabinet
changes are inevitable. The mass of
the public is not moved. There I'M
questionably is. a feeling of great re-
lief that hostilities have ended and
that the men lof the great army will
return home, he disbanded and re-
enter the walks of peace. This feel
ing, however. is without public man
ifestations. There have been no pro-
cess ions. no display Of flags or other
marks OF popular jollification.
The capital continues normally
quiet and reports from throughout
the empire indicate a similar condi-
ton.
