ton crop in warehouses until cotton
brings 10 cents a pound was the prtn-
.cipal object ofsa meeting here to-day

Considerable reticence asft the pur-
poses of the meeting was shown by the
fifteen directors who participated. The
financial situation was thought to re-
quire the most careful cooperation by
planters in order to mold UP the price
of cotton. 1t is proposed to store the
cotton in warehouses and to make
a warehouse receipt on cotton as near
ly as possible the equivalent of money,
in order better to insure the success
of the storing scheme. The recommen-

either compelling Senator Brown to marry
her or OF killing him. The very facts Of

That Such Increase Is
Clearly in Viola

NEW YORK. November 23.-Repre-
sentative Charles N. Fowler. ci,aIrman
OF the House Committee on Banking
and Currency. to-day gave out state
ment regarding thu issue OF Panama
Canal bonds and Treasury certificates.
Personally and from party standpoint.
.air. Fowler said. 1t was unpleasant for
him to jdisapprove the action of the
Republican administration. but his
study of the questions involved and
his duty to the public compelled him
to set forth the reasons why the action
of the admins tration was surprising,
extraordinary. unwarranted and most
unfortunate.
wv hen the financial and currency sit

Fowler says "the administration inter

Judges of the situation. Therefore,
primarily, the effect OF the governments
action must be a most disturbing fac
tor. although the bankers OF the coun-
try may prevent any serious conse-i
quence at the moment. In the second
place, the government did not need the
money. as 1t has 3940.00o.000 to its
credit, which It has taken from the
people through taxation.
"Therefore the interest bearing debt
|of the government should not have
been Increased $150o00,000. especially
when such increase Of debt Is clearly
In violation OF the intent and purpose
|of the law; and, in the third place. be-
cause the action Of the Treasury Is a
most violent violation OF economic law.
for which the people must yet ply the
penalty.
THE government has, as stated, $40
10000 in Its treasury or to its credit.
and, therefore, it did not need tho pro-
tlceeds to pay for tho construction of
1.-THE Panama Canal or to meet the cur
