CARTER FAVORED
CAYNOR AND GREENE
Delayed Sending Specifications So That
Others Would Not Have OPP
portunity to Bid.

Savannah, February 6--Evidence pre-
scented for the government in the Greene
and Gaynor case today was designed to
show an alleged practice of Captain Car
ter to shut out other contractors than the
defendants from river and harbor I'M
provements made under the supervision
OF the officer of engineers, with whom
Greene and Gaynor are charged with
having conspired to defraud the govern
ment of some $000,0O0.
One phase of the method alleged to
have been followed by Carter was the
Withholding of specification from con-
tractors, who were not in collision with
the engineer. Carter. it was shown in
, most cases would enclose but one copy
of the specifications, whereas 1t was es-
sential that the contractors should have
three, as proposals with specifications at
tached had to be made in triplicate. By
the time letters had been exchanged and
the additional copies sent, 1t was alleged,
the date for the opening of bids would
have approached so closely as to preclude
the outsiders" getting in their propos-
ais In time.
Many letters were introduced The au-
thenticity of these was proven by Chief
Clerk Sterley of the office force of Carter
and his successors They were read by
Gen. Thomas e. Barr, formerly judge adj

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS

Montgomery, February 6.-(Special)-
The supreme court in an opinion written
by Mr.. Justice Dowdell, today held that
the city of Mobile has no right to certain
property it has sought to secure from In
dividuals along the water front. The
court takes the ground that the act OF
the state by which the rights were con-
veyed to the city is unconstitutional,
hence there is no ground for the cases
to stand upon. There were five of them
and they involved values that ran into
many thousands of dollars.
The property in question is that part
which lies between the lines of high and
low tide. Some years ago an enterpris-
ing lawyer discovered that in the grant
of the state this land was given to the
city and it was not shown that at any
time the city had given 1t away or sold 1t.
Consequently the suits were brought and
the cases have see-sawed back and forth
in the supreme court for some time Once
or twice they have gone to the United
States supreme court but 1t would seem
that the decision today that the state did
not legally convey the property settles II.
MIR. Justice Tyson failed to agree with
his brethren on the bench and dissented.
The court opened today on the second
counties of Bib, Chictaw, Dallas, Greene,
Hale, Marengo, Perry, Sumter and Will
cox After this call, which will be over
Thursday, the court will not have another
until April 2, when the first division will
be heard again.
These were the decisions handed down
today:

SINNERS of yarns and print cloths open
" admit that present prices of their fin
ished output authorize price of IA cents
for the raw cotton. This fact is we'll
known to every person who has invest-
gated the high prices of cotton goods in
all lines It is also we'll known to all
careful students of the question of actual
supplies of spot cotton and the enormous
demands Of legitimate consumption, that
there will not be sufficiency of raw
cotton to meet the demands for consump-
ton before another crop can oe planted,
cultivated and harvested. The present
price OF spot cotton Is. therefore, not
based upon the intrinsic value of the
staple. No cotton this season has been
sold on the basis of it's intrinsic value.

with the cotton market The present

nation of spinners, exporters and bearish

Cotton association as a factor in the flu

crop Nearly 100000 bales of the present
crop has already passed out Of the hands
of the producers, furnishing temporary
needs of spinners and placing them in an
advantageous position, as they have the
ammunition. But this condition cannot
last long This crop is 3,500,O00 bales short
of the crop of 1904. Six million new spin
dies were added to the worlds manu-
features in 1905 The demand for cotton
goods is unprecedented. We sold 100000
bales crop for 10 cents. There is only a
remnant Of one million bales left from
the present short crop of 100000 bales.

The last grand jury returned two in
dictments against Mr.. Avery One charged
him with receiving a stolen COW, know
ing the same to have been stolen" The

of the peace. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Avery was forced either to resign as
