Farmers Union Prices is II cents.
If the 10 cent minimum for cotton
is considered victory for the conser-
vatlve element of the Cotton Associa-
tion, then the whitewashing that
Cheatham got at the same time must
be victory for the cotton gambling
element!
If the prices for labor, mules and
many other things that are in it too
produce cotton now are double what
it was when we got Sc. for cotton,
there is no more profit in 1Oc. cotton
now than there was back yonder when
we got only Sc. for cotton.
Ii you can't get profitable prices
for your cotton, what is the use of
selling it at or below cost and keep
Oh climbing up CREASED pole and
then sliding down again, busting the
bottom out of your constitution
against the hard ground7
Farmers Union price, 11c., will
give you a profit for your cotton 10c.
and below will rob you and many
others who are dependent upon the
prosperity of the farmer.

The strength of the Farmers Union
is built and maintained on our faith in
one another.
If III" miner should strike a rich
vain that would bring him in three
times the amount Of profit for the
same outlay, has the world of trade
claimed tie increase of, fortune of
this miner? Well, then, how could
the speculator or trader demand any
part of the fortunate increase in the
bountiful crops of the cotton farmer?
There is absolutely no such thing in
it these days like the supply and de-
mand governing the prices if the pro-
ducers Of cotton prepare themselves
to take care of their surplus products
as do sensible business men in other
occupations.

There is only one legitimate way Of
making money and that is by creating
wealth by producing something, and
when the farmer has made this money
by his industry it is the part Of wis
dom OH his part to prepare himself to
husband this fortune for his own by
joining his faith with his own crafts
men.

FIRES IN BROADWAY CENTRAL.
Evidences Of Incendiary Work In the Hotel
False Alarm, Too.

Hoso HiaTHs TOO,
Between half past 8 and II O'Clock last
night fire was discovered in three places
IN the Broadway Central Hotel, and the
police made up their minds that frebugs
mad visited the old house. No damage
was, done but the guests of the hotel were
unnerved by the excitement.
About $50 O'Clock Mccormick, the stew
ard, whcee Office is in the basement near
the engine room, smelled smoke. He ran
into the engine and saw a pile Of rags
burning. Mccormick kicked them out
and smothered the flames.
A little more than an hour later a bellbov
named Sam found a pair Of curtains ablaze
IN the second floor hall on the Third
street side. They were blazing ieroely
and Sam yelled. Some Of the guests ran
out and helped Sam and another bellbov
yank the curtains down. The hotel people
wondered how the curtains got on fire. No
gas jet was near them.
A few minutes after IL O'Clock a member
OF the Providence baseball team. who ia
stopping at the Broadway Central, found a
bunch Of rags blazing in the fifth floor
toilet room. The fire had got a fair start
and had scorched the woodwork. He
called the clerk and they put the fire out.
Some of the guests on that floor got a scare,
Investigation showed that the burning
rags had been apparently a bundle Of
laundry that had lain on the table on the
fifth floor near the toilet room.
Every one was nervous by this time and
when one of the guests looking out of a
windo saw a Pickering at a seventh floor
window there was a rush for the seventh
floor. Nothing was the matter. A pair
of curtains, waving in a draught, caused a
gas jet to flicker.
But when the hotel was quiet once more.
every fire gong in the house let go with a
banging and a jangling. People piled out
OF their rooms and rushed through the halls
in undress, very much frightened. Miss
Tucker, the seamstress Of the hotel, ran into
the office in her night clothes and tainted.
Bellboys and clerks were sent through the
hotel assuring\ the guests there was no
danger.
The panic was over in a few minutes.
No fire was discovered. The fire gongs
are controlled by a lever at the clerks
desk. He didn't touch the lever, he said.
Later it was found that box 20, in an upper
hall, had been tempered with.

APPORTIONMENT CALL.
Anti-Parsons County COmmltteemen ASK
for O Sepcial Meeting.

A request, signed by the requisite mum
Der Of names, has been sent to Herbert
Parsons, president of the Republican county
committee, to call a special meeting of
that body on Monday or Tuesday next
The purpose Of the meeting is to decide
upon a plan of reapportionment Of the
Senate and Assembly districts in the county
to be recommended to the Legislature =.
Although the Aldermen will have the actual
fixing of the Assembly district boundaries,
the plans to be sent to the Legislature
will suggest the new Assembly as we'll as
the Senate districts.
At the meeting Of the committee next
week two schemes will be presented. One
has been prepared by a committee appointed
by MIR. Parsons, which provides for at
least three certain Republican Senate dis
tricts, but the boundaries of these have
been so drawn that there will be a lot Of
shutting around Of the Assembly districts,
and four districts below Fourteenth street
will be wiped out entirely. The new dis
tricts are to be added to the uptown terri
tory.
Because Of the dissatisfaction with this
plan on the part of the downtown leaders
who would lose their jobs, twenty of the
of the executive committee,
constituting a majority, have prepared
a plan of their own and intend to have it
adoptedi If possible by the county committee.
Under this scheme the new districts have
been so mapped out hat the leaders be-
to what is known as the Odell fac
ton will be left secure in their PLACES.

If Indiana Republican Plat orm Commit ee
Refuses, He viii Appeal to Delegates.

1NDIANAPoLIs, Ind, April 1.-THE

afternoon and was addressed by Temporary
Chairman Brick, who appealed for a re-
duction Of the tariff On certain articles;
by Senator Beveridgs. who praised Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and by Gov. Hanly, who
told the story of his administration and
the reforms that he had inaugurated.
When he closed the speech, which he
had prepared for delivery, he aid aside
the manuscript and made an impassioned
appeal to the delegates to sustain his adj
ministration. He said he understood the
committee IN resolutions might not report
certain planks submitted to il, and declared
hat he wanted the Endorsement OF the
delegates.
He asked whether or not he was TO have
it, and a number OF delegates replied that
he would get it.
Two hours before the convention met the
committee on resolutions went into secret
session, and it developed that there waAto
be pronounced opposition to the plank In
dorsing the Governors administration;
also to the plank demanding the establish
ment Of repositories for public money and
the payment OF the interest to the State.
Differences on other points arose and the
platform was not reported to the conven-
ton. The committee is meeting again
tonight in an effort to get together. II

ment from the committee he will 20 be-

SMUGGLED RINGS IN ORANGES,
hut italian Watched the Fruit Too Closely
and Inspector Caught On.


A clever attempt to smuggle was dis
covered yesterday when the steamship
Germania arrived from italian ports.
Among her passengers were Pietro Corato,
a saloon keeper of New Haven, and his
prospective %son-in-law, Mariana Puso,
Corato left New York early last September
and promised to bring to his daughter a
pretty collection OF jewels for ~her'trousseau.
When the Germania reached her Brook
lyn pier yesterday, the first to leave the
ship were Pietro and his companion. Gus
toms Inspector Peter Simons was assigned
to inspect their baggage. A cursory ex-
animation revealed several pieces of fnery
which had not been declared. These we're act
aside for the Appraiser and Simons gave
more careful attention to the contents
OF Pietro's trunk.
This, it was soon discovered, had a false
bottom and then the inspectors took the
two Italians back on the ship h search
their clothing. Nothing was found on
Puso, but Corato's pockets gave up a few
cheap rings and chains and three oranges,
The latter were thrown aside, as they were
beginning to decay. but Corato watched
them so closely that the inspectors picked
them up again.
Each OF the oranges had been stuffed
with a box containing a diamond ring.
The rings n the jewelry were worth, in an.
about 5000. Corato was arrested for
smuggling and United States Commissioners
Benedict held him in 1900 bail for trial.

TRACE TAPPERs OF RACE WIRE.
Information Company Men Say Their Line
Was Cut Between Albany and Utica.

Information Company Men Say Their Line
Vas Cut Between Albany and Utica.
The officials Of the company that sup
plies racing information to poolrooms
think they nave found out how and where
one Of their wires was tapped on Monday,
thus enabling a gan to skin the poolrooms
in the vicinity of this city out Of anywhere
from $50 900 to 100000.
The wire, 80 the officials Of the company
say, was tapped at a point between Utica
and Albany. The information supplying
concern gets its race descriptions and
results from Covington, Ky. A direct wire
runs to that point from New Orleans and
other places where races are being run.
1t is apparent TO the investigators for
the information company that two men
tapped the wire at some point where it
passed through ar enclosure and that
they were seated right near one another.
Just whether or not the company had
any line on the tappers or the gang they
represented could not be learned last night.
1t is thought that they know now pretty
well who the entire clique are that were in
the deal.
The only result that may come of the
is that the tele graph operators
that tapped the wire may be blacklisted
further employment and the gang
that laid down the bets can be barred from
poolrooms, but there will be no prosecution,
as the poolroom keeper victims couldn't
very well go into court, and neither could
the information company, which is also
running on the quiet.

fning Of the owners Of the Gloucester
fishing vessels A. P. Whyland and Elector
last week by the Newfoundland Govern
ment for violation Of the local laws Of New
foundland for ira wiling within the three

to the local law against inshore ira wiling.
On the face OF things this Government
appears to have an excellent case.

Tunnel Under Trolley Loops TO he Con-
structed-New Line to Williamsburg.
Bridge Commissioner Stevenson made
public yesterday details of the plans he
has been working out for improving the
termina facilities of the Brooklyn and
Williamsburg bridges.
A tunnel from the Brooklyn Bridge sub
way station is being constructed under
the trolley loops which will bring passengers
to the surface in the terminal beyond the
loops and at the foot of the stairways lead
ing to the elevated railroad platforms,
New stairways from the Brooklyn terminal
platforms are also being built.
Mr.. Stevenson announced that he has
directed H. B. Seaman, consulting en-
gineer, to give particular attention to
a proposed double deck terminal at the
Brooklyn Bridge, providing a separate
pocket for zach line OF cars and moving
stairways to carry passengers to the upper
platforms, and to a proposed further ex-
tension of the terminal,
The first relief on the Williamsburg
bridge will be secured through the use of
a temporary terminal for trolley cars,
now under construction, which will be
completed next May or June. This will
double the trolley car capacity Of the bridge.
More Metropolitan cars are to be run. One
line which should give considerable relief
will start from the New York Post Office
and run to the Brooklyn side of the bridge.
The plans for an underground station
on the Manhattan side will shortly be adj
vertised The plans have been changed
to provide for eight car trains, and the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has
agreed to operate such trains. The plans
also have been altered so that with slight
changes the station can be made a part
of an underground tunnel for trains con-
tinuing from any part of Manhattan through
Delaney street to BROOKLYN,

DENIES HER SONS LEGITIMACY,
Mother Contests Fathers Claim That.Mar.
rlage Ever Took Place.

PHILADELPHIA, April lin one Of the
s%trangest contests waged in court in many
years Viola Kreider will Tomorrow seek
to repudiato the legitimacy Of her own son
as a defence to the divorce suit instituted
against her by Roland Bostock, a promi-
nent electrical engineer.
The respondent contends that she was
never married to Bostock; that she has
ever been known as Miss Kreider, and that
she cannot be divorced, since she was never
married and WAS only Bostock's mistress.
The real issue is the legitimacy Of a boy
Of IL years, whose mother Viola Kreider is,
and whose father Bostock claims to be.
The respondent, according to her attorney,
is confident that the only reason for the
action in divorce begun by Bostock ia to
prove that there was a marriage and that
this boy was born one year later, 30 that
he will have a legal claim to possession Of
the child.
