EXCHANGE DEFENDED
REPLY is MADE BY HUBBARD TO
PRICE.
President of New YOrk's Speculative
Headquarters Says There Is No
Over Classification of SOuth's
Product.

Now York, May 2s.-President Wal
ter C. Hubbard tonight made public a
defense of the system of classification
practiceo by the New York Cotton Ex-
change.
His statement, which, he says, con-
stitutes the first official expression in
the Exchange on the subject, Is gen.
eral denial of the charges OF over
classifying made in the action recently
Instituted against the Exchange by
T. H. Price and the Southern Cotton
Association. The statement, in part,
follows:
The charge made by Mr.. Price and
by the Southern Cotton Association,
that the classification committee of the
New York Exchange has systematically
over classed cotton so as to make it
deliverable on Exchange contracts on
a higher basis than its grade would
warrant, Is absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false.
The attorney for the New York Cot
ton Exchange, Henry w. Taft. has In
his possession for use In the Price ac-
ton, aff1davits from many of the lead
ing cotton merchants of the country.
These affidavits show clearly that the
cotton delivered to the merchants in
question, under the rules of the New
York Cotton Exchange has been uni
formly up to the established standard
They show that the work of the classt-
fication committee has been honest and
Intelligent and that the number of
claims made with the exchange for
errors In classification have amounted
for many years to less than one twelfth
one per cent. of the total number of
bales inspected and classified by the
committees
"As a matter of fact. the only COM
plants which have reached the ex-
change are from cotton merchants who
complained because the cotton shipped
here for delivery on contract by them
has been classed too high. The mer-
chants making these afidavits. includ-
ing firms which have received and
shipped many thousands of bales Of
cotton classed by the New York Cot
ton Exchange declare that the system
of classifying and delivering through
the exchange is the fatrest and best in
existence In any cotton exchange In
the world.
The New York cotton exchange de-
MES specially and in toto the charges
that its classification committee has
engaged in the practice of over-classi
flying cotton so that unstable grades
might be utilized for clearing contracts

THE MEANING OF LIBERTY.

The Constitution OF the United States

that memorable instrument begins in
the words:

establish justice, insure domestic tran
guilty. provide for the common de-
Tense promote the general welfare, and
secure the blessings OF liberty to our
selves and our posterity. do ordain and
establish this Constitution"
Part Of the preamble looked back
ward to the injustice inflicted upon The
colonsts by the British crown in the
past part of II related to conditions
which prevailed at the time Of the
adoption Of the Constitution. but the
most important part VI It looked to the
culture with the view OF securing to the
oncoming generations. the yet unborn

subjects OF the British nation had heoa
invaded In -four distinct aspects.
They complained that they had
been denied the ancient and cherished
right Of all English subjects IN being

and proper sense. AZ early as 1915. the
