Croker Refused Training Quarters at
Newmarket.

London. Jan. IA serious scandal
promises to develop in racing circles
as a result of the Jockey Clubs action
in intcrdicting Richard Croker from
training his horses at Newmarket.
The history of the affair given out by
friend. of Mr.. Croker is that when at
the Newmarket sales in September. Mr..
Croker appeared as n bidder for Ger
tain ycarlings he was informed that he
was opposing Lord Marcus BereSford,
who. it is well known, has entire charge
of King Edwards racing stable. This
did net deter Mr.. Croker and it wa;
suggested to him that if he insisted in
train his horses ut Newmarket. Mr..
Croker. hoW"E'-r, VA; not Influenced
claiming that hi; cnNi,lrt was not dis
courteous as he was dealing through
IN agent who did moE know his adver-
1ary in the transactions and merely
carried out his instructions.
II an interview IN Dublin, Mr.. Croker
said ne was still completely i'm the dark
regarding the whole matter and eX-
pressed astonishment at the fact that
the stewards did not give reason for
their action.
A newspaper says Mr.. Croker intends
Ia sell his residence ut Vantage, Eng
land. For some months past he has
been living in Ireland where it is re-
pnEl ed he will reside altogether here
after.

NO GINNERS' MEETING

 POSTPONED.
President Taylor of Associntson Has Been Called to Indian Territory.
 CDmmisst0mef R. R. p0ese
 Will Gather sfMfiNtIen

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole yesterday received a letter from President ]. A. Taylor, of the National Ginners' Association saying that he had been suddenly called from Mem- phig to his home In wynnewood. In- dian Territory. and that he could not be iu Montgomery today at the meet ing which he had called.
 This means that there will be no meeting of thd ginners in Montgomery today as was proposed. The enforced absence of President Taylor of the Ginners' Association means the indefi- nite postponement of the meeting.
 It Is the desire of President Taylor to hold the meeting in warmer days and he will name the date in time to insure . good attendance.
 Commissioner of Agriculture Poole will not let the ginners remain en- tirely inactive in the meanwhile. It Is his intention to gather some indepen- dent statistics of cotton production and acreage by the immediate use of the plan he outlined in his address before the New Orleans convention.
 He win call apon the Tax Assessors in every county of the State to get a report from each ginner therein and forward the figures to Montgomery as quickly as possible. He will also cor respond with trustworthy practical men within a given radius. It was the sense of the New Orleans convention that the Commissioners of Agriculture of all the cotton growing States should follow some independent plan of this kind. |,
 The fact that this independent sys- tenn of gathering statistics will not be in line with the United States Gen. sus Department does not mean that all the possible co-operation of the ginners and commissioners will not be accorded the Governments agents. On the contrary, the convention at New Orleans as body voted unanimous thanks to Director North of the United States BuTeau for the valuable infor. nation furnished by that department The States growing cotton point ou, that the farmers and others are iln- patient to get the statistics before of ficiaIly issued by the Government.
 Commissioner Poole will also make efforts to gather early statistics oi the acreage of 1908. This would also be done principally by correspondence
