A RULING POWER.

During the recent stagnancy OF the
money market on Wall street a lead
ing fnancier of New York attributed
the fact to the retention by southern
farmers of their cotton. Had the cot
ton been brought indlscriminately in
to the market during the past several
weeks at the prevailing prices it would
have had the effect of releasing a great
deal of money for circulation, and as
this money would have remained a
considerable time in the hands OF the
New York bankers and brokers an
abundance would have been within
reach to ward off the pressure. The
acknowledgement is cheering, says the
Augusta Herald, and the fact is in
structive to southern farmers. 1t de-
mOnstrates that their staple is still a
ruling power in the financial world, a
power that may operate to keep the
various veins of the commercial world
filed with life-giving f6w, or that
may, by withholding itself, cause
these veins to shrivel up of mani
ton.
The southern farmer will see in this
what an important factor he is in our
national life. His landscape may APP
pear uninviting. His soil may have
the appearance Of an Arabian sand
desert. These may be the outward
signs that strike the eye, but the little
feecy knot growing on its slender
stem is the dominating power of even
Wall street, concludes the Herald.
MAYOR WOODWARD of Atlanta is to
be heartily commended upon his posi-
ton in regard to non-debt paying city
officials. whom he thinks should be
dismissed from the public service
Any man, official or emplOye, who oc
cupies a position in the public service
should pay his debts, and failing
therein should be made to get out
The truth is, Mayor Woodward is
strong and capable man, and we hav
the word of many of the very bes
people of Atlanta for it that the cit
never had a better chief executive tina
be makes.

Wooster, Aug. 2S.- Mrs. Taggart
entered court this morning prepared
to take the stand. While awaiting
her the attorneys of the opponents
engaged in a controversy. Wertz and
Smyser called each other liars. The
court threatened to punish them for
contempt of court and order was re-
stored.
Taggart was recalled to the stand
compromising position with another
officers wife, and said he never
quarreled with an officer.
| Mrs. Taggart testified: 81 am IS
years old, was born and raised in
Chicago. Am an adopted daughter of
Mrs Culver. Mrs. Culver was total
abstainer and was brought up that
way. / met and loved Taggart wien
he was stationed at Fort Sheridan.
Am sure he loved me. was sick af-
ter our marriage and soon Joined my
husband at Plattsburg barracks,
where my mother furnished a house.
First drank beer at Plattsburg The
captain had it in the house. Was
happy there. Moved to Fort Thomas
and met Captain Rither. he was an
enlisted man. He and a friend, an Of
ficer's son. were permitted to call
in citizens clothes. After he was
commissioned he became friend of

ed company. Our home was a gath
ering place for young folks. We
went everywhere we were invited
and 1 paid much of the expenses my
self. That was never a subject of
conversation between us. The cap
tain was ambitious and tried to
make him advantages"
Mrs. Taggart said when she joined
her husband in the Philippines after
a long separation she found him q
changed man. She believed the
hardships of the tropical campaign
had injured his mind. She said he
was so jealous he magnified innocent
/ happenings into terrible offences.
The witness said she treated Billy
Taggart as would any brother or a
sister of her husbands. She accus-
ed Oroville gossip of poisoning the

would crush the Jewish populat.
and teach the Jews a lesson"
a small gathering Of Jews, possibly
Socialists, but not authorized by the
Socialist party to act, ordered that
the brutal treatment of their arrested
coreligionlsts be avenged. The per-
sons picked to do this work threw a
bomb on August 12 among some SOL
diers, of whom three were Killed,
while a dozen workingmen were
wounded. some fatally. This was a
signal for a general outbreak by the
troops against the Jews, innocent and
guilty alike. Soldiers marched up and
down Bialstok streets, shooting lndis-
crlmlnateIy whoever was in sight.
They entered the houses, killing and
robbing the occupants.
Most of the killed or wounded were
shot in the back, proving that the
troops fired on fleeing crowds. Wo-
men, children and old men were shot
down ruthiessly, and their corpses
were horribly mutilated.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Edwin S.
Holmes, Jr.. former associate statisti-
clan of the department of agriculture,
surrendered to a United States mar
shal this morning in response to an in
dictmcnt charging conspiracy in con-
nection with the premature publica-
ton of government crop reports.
District Attorney Beach in the
morningwent before Justice STAFF
ford and Holmes bond was fixed at
$4,000, with the understanding that
when the former associate statistician
presented himself the bond would be
executed before the clerk of the court.
Mr.. Holmes arrived in the city this
morning, accompanied by Mr.. Lester,
his attorney, and Immediately the de-
feHs" OF Mr.. Holmes was prepared.
II looks as though one of the big
FONTS would go to show that the leak
could not have occurred without the
knowledge of the secretary of agricul-
turc himself In a statement given
out here tonight for instance, II Is
stated explicitly that the cotton re-
Iorts were prepared by four persons,
"one of whom was the secretary of
agriculture himself"
Mr.. Lester for Holmes. denies that
the latter gave way any information.
He also says 1t is strange that a man
would have confessed instead of con-
tnuing in a business which made him
or nettcd him SO many thousands u
dollars.
One of the strange things in the de-
vclopments today is that when Mr..
Holmes was first attacked he came
home to Washington and the authori-
ties, it was claimed. were notified. He
was not arrested, however. He went
west and returned voluntarily.

Wholesale Massacre of Jews.


Warsaw, Russian Poland. Aug rs
Especially )-Another massacre of Jews
marked by atrocities worthy of saw
ages has occurred in Bialistok about
so miles southwest of Grodno. Little
is known outside Of Russia of this
SLAUGHTER, while even IN Russia itself
few people know Of it's horrors. The
official report minimizes 1t as usual
merely stating that a party of Jews
at Bialstok threw a bomb which kill
ed some soldiers, whereupon the
troops fired in self-defenee. and that
during the scuffle" 40 Jews were
killed and $50 wounded.
But reports from n correspondent
say Trustworthy eye-witnesses draw n
sanguinary picture. Bialstok lies near

Olympia, Wash. Aug 2S.-Stock-
holders in the Olympia banks will not
be permitted by the county board of
equalization to "swear OFF, their taxes
on their stock holdings. The board
today sustained the assessor in fixing
valuation OF 100000 or par on the
stock of the Capital National Bank
and $4,000 on the Olympia National
Bank.
The stockholders of the former
bank ,swore to debts aggregating
Sls2,0OO. The stockholders include
President C. j. Lord. F. d. Heustis,
ex-oollector OF customs; SOL G. Simp-
son. Seattle, capitalist: Thomas Bor-
men In the southwest: Leopold F.
Schmidt owner of breweries in Tum-
water. Bellingham and Salem, Ore,
and about 12 other stockholders, all
of whom allege debts in excess of the
par value Of their stock and demand
ed an offset therefor which is per-
mitted by law.
The ruling Of the board was on the
ground that there was no showing
that the bank stock was the only
credit of the stockholders, nor that
the depts were owing to residents of
this state.
The board also sustained the asses
sor in fixing valuations OF eight of the
franchises owned by public service
companies, which is an innovation in
this county. The Weyerhauser Tim
ber company, whose holdings in this
county were taxed last year on a val
uation of s750,OOO, secured reduc-
ton of about s125.0oo.
