ENJOINS EXCHANGE.
Theodore Price Alleges That Classification
Of Cotton is Done by Improper Stand
ard and Buyer is Favored.

Of Cotton is Done by Improper Stand
ard and Buyer is Favored.
Upon application Of Theodore II.
Price, Justice BischoF at New York,
Thursday, granted temporary iniunc-
ton restraining the classification com
mittee of the New York cotton ex-
change from classifying cotton by
what are alleged improper standards.
Under the order of Justice Bischoff,
the exchange is enjoined from classi-
flying cotton by samples drawn from
bales so long before the time Of cias-
sifcation as to enable them to become
bleached from classifying samples I'M
less the bale from which they were
taken can be identified, unless they
are compared with proper grades, or
without affording an opportunity for
comparison with standards Of every
grade, or from Classifying cotton
which is understandable because OF
sand and dirt
The order also requires the classi-
fication committee OF the exchange to
deliver to members of the exchange
a set of the type of standards used
by it in certifying and classifying
cotton
Mr.. Price declared in his petition
that the classifying committee classl-
fed samples which are not tagged so
as to identify the bale from which
it was taken, that the classification
is made by improper standards and
that the committee is influenced by
undue pressure to produce an over
classification in favor of the seller.
RE asks that the injunction be made
permanent.
Late Thursday night, Henry w.
Taft, representing the New York cot
ton exchange, secured from Judge Bis
chof a modification of the temporary
injunction, 1t was represented to
Judge Bischoff that the injunction
might seriously interfere with current
contracts to the injury of the mem
bers of the exchange. Judge Bischoff
accordingly modified the injunction SO
that it would not take effect pending
a hearing in the matter Monday.

the Is mills does not meet the re-
quirement of the state law regulating
the manufacture and sale of cotton
seed meal.
The following mills are affected by
the order of the commissioner: South

pany, Augusta; Georgia Cotton Oil
Company, Albany, two brands; Far
mers' Oil and Guano Company, San
dersviIle; Tennille Oil Mills: Madison
Oil Company; Greensboro Oil Mill;
Farmers Oil and Fertilizer Company.
The brands of the mills above men
toned fail of requirement with the
state law because they contain too lit
tie nitrogen, one of the three prin-
cipal elements of plant food, the com
mission says. The brands have been
placed on the market as first class,
but the analysis Of the state chemist
of samples submitted to the depart
ment of agriculture shows them to
fall short of the requirements Of the
law

NEW RECORD PRICE FOR coNvIcrs,
State of Alabama Receives S45.25 Per
Month Each for IFS Men.

The making of contract for 175
convicts at $45.25 each per month,
which has been closed by the state of
Alabama, sets a new pace in the mat
ter Of service on the part of the wards
of the commonwealth, while it serves
to indicate the great demand for re
liable labor on the part of the indus
tries of the section The contract was
with the Henderson-Boyd Lumber
company at Richburg. There was one
bid of exactly the same amount, but
for 100 men instead of IT'S.
The best contract other than this
one was that made with the Hand
Lumber company at Bay MiRette, some
days ago. for SAB, up to that time the
most remunerative ever made. 1t was
for 100 men.
There is a bad shortage of labor
with the lumber mills at this time,
caused by the farming people rushing
back to the farms for the spring plant
ing.

CUBANS FIGHT
OUR JACK TARS
Santiago Police Use RevolverS and
Machetes on Americans.
ATTACK UNPROVOKED
Marines Were Unarmed and None Of the
Policemen Were Badly Hurt-Several
Tackles Wounded. One May Die.

Confirmation was received both at
the navy and state departments at
Washington Wednesday Of the attack
OF the police OF Santiago upon par
ty of sailors from the United States
cruiser Tacoma who had been given
liberty and were returning to their
ship early In the morning. A full
investigation Is in progress, the re-
suits of which are awaited with in
terest.
Regarding the affair a Santiago dis
patch says: The conflict between the
sailors and police followed an order
ly banquet which was given at the
Cafe Leon de ORC by q party of first
class seamen OF the cruiser Tacoma
AT l in the morning the men sepa-
rated and twelve of them went to the
Cafe Unions They were not intoxlcat-
ed A police captain named Lay, who
was in citizens clothes, had been
watching this cafe all the evening,
with seven or eight policemen to sup
port him. At about 2 o'clock in the
morning the seamen started for the
wharf with the intention of boarding
the Tacoma Captain Lay claims that
the seamen started the trouble and
the sailors claim that Captain Lay,
without proyocation, caused the dis
turbance.
AS the enlisted men had been him
dered by the police on their way
to the wharf, Ensign Brisbin decided
TO walk slightly ahead of the party.
Suddenly he heard a revolver shot
and Immediately afterwards the po-
lice charged with revolyers and ma
ohetes. Brisbin received an ugly cut
on the arm and was felled to the
ground three times. AS the crowd Of
seamen came up the policemen emp,
tied their reyolyers at them, at the
same time attacking the Americans
with machetes.
A fierce fight ensued, with the re-
suit that Henry L. Lee, a fireman of
the Tacoma, will probably die of a
compound fracture Of the skull, caus-
ed by machete, and gunshot wound
in the right breast Ten other mem.
bers of the crew of the Tacoma were
taken to the ship hospital suffering
from machete wounds and clubbing.
Not one of the policemen was bad
ly hurt, though several of them suf-
fered from fist contusions.
The captain and all the policemen
who participated in the affair have
been suspended by order Of the civil
governor Of Santiago, on the repre-
sensations Of Commander Tappan Of
the Tacoma, and the American con-
sui Mr. Holiday who affirm that the
lives Of the American officers and
men who go ashore are net safe while
such men are acting as agents of the
law MIR, Holiday is making a thor
ough investigation of the incident.

According to Washington dis
patch the farmers Of Brooks county,
who are engaged in the profitable in
dustry of raising pork for the mar
