nal. says Court.

Albany. Feb. 26.--The court of ap-
peals, i'm a decision handed down to-
day. decided I'M favor Of George w.
Perkins. vice president Of the New
York Life company. and member of
the firm of j. =. Morgan & Co, in
the matter Of the charge of grand lar
ceny made against him in connection
with the payment of a campaign con
tribution from the funds of the COM
pany To the republican national COM
mittee in the summer of 1904.
The opinions Expressed by the
judges agree that the expenditure Of
the New York Life's money for cam
paign purposes was illegal and Inn
proper Judge Gray In the majority
opinion, says;
'It IS unqucstionably true that the
purpose for which the moneys of the
company were promised was foreign
to the chartered purposes Of the cor
poration, but that faet-does not make
the payment a criminal act The in
nocent motive of indirectly promoting
the corporate affairs through the sun
posed advantage of the continuance IN
power Of the republican ndmlnlstra-
tion purged the act Of immortality, and
It lacked the criminal intent"

 PAPER MAN TODAY.
Residence Is Filled With Friends to Pay Respects-Press Club
 Meets and Takes

Birmingham, Nov 17.--tSpecial.)-- The funeral of Elisha Phillip smith, managing editor of The Birmingham News. who died Sunday morning at 1:3o o'clock of typhoid fever and com pifcations, will take place Monday af- ternoon at o'clock from the Highland Avenue Presbyterian Church.
 The interment will be at the Elm wood cemetery. Rev. Sterling J. Eos ter will ofiiciate.
 There was no man better known in Birmingham than Mir. Smith. For nearly thirty years he was connected with The Birmingham News. He was hard and persistent worker. He was prominent in secret societies, holding membership in the Woodmen of the World, Knights of Pythias. Knights of the Khorassan, Improved Order of Red Men, Elks. Odd Fellows and the en- dowment rank of the Pythians. He was member of both the Southern and Country clubs. N
 He was 39 years old. Two years ago he married Miss Emily Mapes of Montgomery. Besides the widow, his mother and two brothers survive.
 The announcement of the death of 1fr. Smith this morning was a shock to the entire community. Ross c. Smith, President of the Birmingham Press Club, appointed committee today to draft resolutions of respect to the de- ceased. who was a former President of the club.
 Many friends of the deceased and his family called at the residence today to Dffer respects, Many floral tributes are being sent to the residence.
 Just a few weeks ago a younger brother of Mir. Smith was killed in a wreck near this city. This had much to do with MT. Smiths trouble. his ill., ness following shortly thereafter. rs- r44 er.- -akG- ed, courteous to everybody. strong in his convictions and was consistent in everything. He was member of the First Methodist Church.
 At special meeting of Camp Clayton, Sons of Confederate Veterans held to- day, resolutions of respects to the memory of the late Mr. Smith were adopted

COTTON

New York. Nov. 15--Some misapprehen- ston seems to have been created by my ad- xsTttsed offer. published on Thursday. to supply cash. at the current premium, against New York exchange, or to advance so per cent of the prospective proceeds. against cotton shipped to New York for delivery on December contracts. An i'm pression has gained currency, that this of fer was made with view of inducing hold deprsas the market. Such is not the case and although I, personally expect lower pose my views upon others. to whom they ara not aggreeabls.
 s'E would therefore point out to those. who higher prices that the operation will be really more economical for them if they ship that cotton to New. York deliver it on December contracts. and purchase, instead of the cotton so delivered. contracts for May delivery. At this writing. cotton can be at 10.43 cents per pound. basis niddiing, New York contract terms. and cotton can be bought for May delivery, i. e., five cents per pound The difference between the two quotations is equal to $1.15 per bs ns cGss or SsrrynE @ Sotton tHclad interest at per cent. for the five months is hardly less than $2. 50 per bale This those who intend holding cotton for an ad- vance. and are so holding the actual cotton at present. In other words. planter or a merchant, who at present is holding 100 bales of cotton at the expectation of realiz- ing F or IS cents a pound for 1t will in- crease his profits (if his hopes are Justified) by exactly $365 if he sells his cotton for De- csmber delivery in New York, and pur- ehases cotton for May delivery in New York instead. He will in addition. relieve the financial situation by making the proceeds of the cotton he sells, immediately available in cash. and will furthermore increase the probability of higher prices in the spring, as of course. no actual scarcity in the sup- ply (however small the crop) can beReIt un- til next May or June and the less cotton there is at that time for sale. the higher the market will go.
