WILDCAT SPECULATION.
International Mining Bureaus Will Try
to Stop It.

Denver, Col, Jan. Sec. James F..
Galbreath. Jr.. of The American Min
ing Congress, has received word FROM
"A. c. CanaliZO. director general of the
international bureau of finance of Mex-
leo to the effect that the Mexican As
sociation has agreed to the proposed
alliance whereby the American and
Mexican associations undertake to
work together in helping investors
from either country to get complete
information about mining investments
Under the agreement any Mexican
capital seeking investment in America
will be directed to the Amedicaa Min
ing Congress for information and in a
like manner the mining congress viii
direct American capital to the Mexican
association if any investor comes to
its attention. One of the objects OF
this movement is to still further limit
the scope of wildcat speculation.
The Mexican association guarantees
safety to capital invested IN its repub-
lie and in 50 far as possible the Amer
lean Mining Congress will do the same.
TO Mr.. Galbreath American
capital in Mexico is much more safe
than in America. The congress hopes
by introducing Mexican ideas in min
ing into this country gradually to make
the American system as effective ~

Cotton Exchange and as proof of the
charge, we cite to you the fact that
from the first day of September, 1906.
| to Dec 81, 1906, there was only deliv-
cred from that market 10046 bales Of
| spot cotton to shippers out Of total
of practically 100000 bales of Ameri-
can cotton placed upon the markets OF
| this country at other points.
5-We further charge that under the
present debased and fraudulent rules
of the New York Cotton Exchange a
large number Of unspinnable low
grades of cotton are rendered on the
contracts of said exchange which are
not permitted under the rules Of any
other cotton exchange in the world
and we affirm that such rules are
fraudulent.
1--WE charge further that the Off
cial daily quotations sent out through
the United States mails by the officers
and members of the New York Cotton
Exchange to their customers and 9TH
ers, both as to futures" and spot"
prices arc fraudulent, in that neither
represents the true and actual value
of spot cotton. but that the same are
from S. 20 $3.50 per bale less than the
market price at which splnnable grades
of cotton could be purchased in the
South and shipped to New York for
tender on said fraudulent contracts. In
an exhibit attached hereto. we speci-
fically call your attention to the wide
difference between existing quotations
of futures market and spot market on
December IS, as existing in the New
York Cotton Exchange, a difference
of 163 points, or $S.15 per bale, said
offering clearly showing fraud. Your
attention is also specifically called 70
the official quotations in said exhibits
Of the future markets and spot market
Of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
noting the close approximates between
the futures and spot Of that market.
I'VE further charge that out of the
advertised stock of cotton at present
stored in the warehouses of New York
City amounting to 114,0O0 bales, fully
10000 bales Of said cotton is of such
inferior grades as to render the staple
unfit for spinning or manufacturing
purposes, and that a considerable por-
ton of said cotton has been held in
said warehouses for years and is to-
tally UNFIT for any purposes whatever.
except to be rendered on the fraudn-
lent contracts of the New York Cotton
Exchange to the serious detriment and
injury Of the legitimate cotton trade
of the United States. We therefore
ask that you, as postmaster-general Of
the United States, send representa-
tive of your department to the ware
houses of New York City and have ell

Despondent Over Defeat,
Thomas Temple Suicides.
Connects Tube With Gas Jet
and InhaIes The Fumes.
Held Office For twenty-five Years
Before His Defeat.

Boston. Jan. 2.-Depressed, it is be-
lieyed. over his defeat for re-elec-
ton to an Office which he had filled
for % consecutive years, Thomas Tenn
PIE, who was until yesterday the reg
istrar of deeds for Suffolk county, took
his own life at his home in NepOnset
today by inhaling Illuminating gas. His
body was found by relatives in his
bedroom. The evidence Of suicide was
the finding of a gas tube connecting
with the gas jet. with the other end
entering Mr.. Temples mouth.
Temple was 20 years of age and was
elected registrar of deeds for Suffolk
county just % vars ago last month.
At the last municipal election the
Democrats nominated for the office of
treasurer. W. T. A. Fitzgerald, prom
inent politician and former president
of the Democrat city committee. Fitz-
gerald was easily elected over Temple,
who was a Republican and took up the
duties Of the office yesterday. The loss
of the place which he had filled for
so many years caused Temple to grow
nOticeably Respondent, and this de-
spOndency is said to explain his sui
eide.
Mr.. Temple was born In Clinton He
was connected with many business
corporations and numerous philan-
thropic organizations. He was di-
rector of the International Trust Co,
of the John Hancock Mutual Life In
surance CO., president of the Dorches-
ter Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and
trustee Of the Home Savings Bank. He
served for 90 years on the board of
overseers for the poor in Boston and
for long period was trustee of the Per-
kins Institution for the Blind. He was
n leading Mason and prominent il
many other fraternal societies. He is
survived by Il widow and four children.
