NEW YOgABUYS REFUS,z ,zC0TTON Harvie Jordan Boasts F.ston Exchange. RETURNS FROM EUROPE Refuse of Liverpool Market Sent to
 America. MT. Jordan Says This Has a Depress- ing Influence Upon Price of
 Spot Cotton In
 South.
 

Atlanta, Ga. June 25.-President Harvie Jordan, of the Southern Cotton Association, who returned last night from tour of Europe In the interests of the cotton growers of the South. today gave out the text of a letter to the president of the New York Cotton Exchange, which was published In New York today.
 In this letter, he says: I was fn- formed by prominent cotton factors and brokers of Liverpool, that a shipment of 5000 bales of American cotton in one lot would soon leave Liverpool for New York to be rendered pn July contracts. sold through the New York Cotton Exchange. Further, that the bulk of this shipment of s,e00 bales back to America was cotton which had been rendered on the Liverpool ex- change and refused by the arbitration committee on account of its being too low grade to meet the minimum re- quirements of the Liverpool contrat. l was shown the samples of portion or the grades of this special lot of 5000 bales and was informed that such cot ton was regarded as the xefuss Of the Liverpool market.
 AS understood the rules of the Liv- erpool and New York cotton exchanges, as to the tender of grades on contract are practically the same, and that nothing below good ordinary white is tenderable In either market. If the re- iections of the Liverpool cotton ex- change are a legal tender under the rules and regulations of your exchange, then the New York cotton exchange must be the lowest in the world. or else not fairly and honestly adminis- tered. There appeared to be no secret or attempt at concealment in Liverpool as to this special shipment of low grade cotton, and they seemed to take 1t as @ matter of fact that New York was the best place to get rid of such refuse cotton at profit
 Tt cannot be denied and this matter I wish to urge upon you. that the noto- rious accumuiattors of tho worlds re- fuse cotton in New York. where it Is recognized and received as legal tender against contracts, means the existence and perpetuity of a depressing influence upon the price of spot cotton in the should stand for.
 'SThe criticism of the New York Cot ton Exchange, its methods and trans actions by the cotton interests abroad not only injure the usefulness of your exchange for the safe conduct of busi- ness, but they also inture the entire spot cotton interests of America"
 In concluding his letter, MT. Jordan appeals to the president of the New York exchange to check the delivery of cotton refuse scraped up in for eien markets and enforce the rules of the New York exchange for the safe guarding of all American interests.

SHIP TO BE CALLED
CHATTANOOGA SHERIFF GOES ON
 STAND TODAY.
Ministers weaken Case of Government by Denying Talk of Lynching- They Testify to Defendants
 Good Character.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 25.-At the afternoon session of the Sheriff Shipp contempt case 1t was decided that Sher- fir Shipp would be placed on the stand in his own behalf when the case Is called tomorrow morning, thus the climax of this famous case will be reached.
 It was also determined that the hear ing should close with the afternoon session Thursday.
 At the morning session Rev. A. B. Beachmann, pastor of the First Pres byterian Church for the past thirty four years was the principal witness. The other witnesses for the defense ware Rev. MT. W. c. Robertson, pas tor of Christ Church; J. B. Nicklin, druggist; T. H. Payne, merchant; James A. Caldwell. lawyer and cap italist, and R. H. Parent. dealer in paint.
 pr. Beachmann was the first wit ness called He told of the excitement at the time of the first mob, of his be- ing called into consultation with the sheriff and other authorities; of talk ing with the Governor over the tele- phone relative to calling out State troops and of other matters connected with the excitement at that time. Af- ter the trial the excitement entirely died down, he stated. and he was sur prised to hear of the lynching. In fact he was at his study the night of the lynching about 9:15 o'clock He saw only some boys at the corner of Seventh and Walnut streets who appeared to be playing, One of these had a handkerchief tied around his head and pr. Beachmann supposed that he had lost his hat
 pr. Beachmann told of the stormy day following the lynching and of the efforts exerted by the best people to prevent any trouble between the races. In his testimony Dr. Beachmann also referred to the ~,eeting of the pastors association the morning after the lynching: the existence of the law and order committee and the fact tn t danger of mob violence was so little apprehended that the matter was not even discussed although it had come up at previous times. Dr. Boswell had told of this in his testimony yesterday.
 All the other witnesses gave testi- mony favorable to Captain shipp's case.
 Court Will convene at 9.3O o'clock tomorrow morning.
