NEW FACTS DEVELOP
chicago and Alton Grand Jury
Probe Again Postponed.
GOES OVER UNTIL SEPT, "a
District Attorney Sims Informs Judge
Lands That He Has Secured Addi-
tlonal Evidence to Submit to Attor-
ney Genaral Bonaparte.

Chicago, Sept. 4-Judge lands, in
he United States district court, has
ordered the postponement OF the grand
Jury investigation of the rebating
charges against the Chicago and AL.
;on road, growing out of the recent
rial and conviction of the Standard
Oil company, until Sept. "a.
1t was generally believed when
court opened that letter would be
presented from Attorney General
Bonaparte defining the action intend
sd by the government against the AL
:on road. The railroad company has
made a claim of immunity, asserting
that it was promised by former Dis
trict Attorney Nor. IN that if it
n the prosecution of the Standard Oil
company that it would be exempt.
No eucn letter, however, was present
ed in court either by Judge Lands
Or by District Attorney Sims, the sue

Il am here, if the court please, in

New Circumstances Develop.
In compliance with the suggestion
Of the court made at the time of the
converting of the present grand jury
the facts and circumstances in con-
nection with the matter under investi-
CATION had been submitted to the de-
partment and | had expected to be
able to report to the court its views
and findings. Very recently, however,
a situation has arisen which, in my
judgment, makes it highly desirable
that | have time to submit to the de-
partment certain facts and circum-
stances in addition to those already
submitted.
For these reasons | request that
further action in the matter be post
poned for three or four weeks. l re-
gret the necessity for asking the court
for this postponement, but it seems
to me, in view of what l know in con-
nection with the case, to be unavoid-
able
Judge Landis promptly granted the
motion and postponed the matter until
Sept. "a.
After leaving the courtroom District
Attorney Sims declared that he intend
ed to submit certain facts to the at
torney general and said that they had
arisen within a few hours. He said
that he would go to Washington with
in a short time to present personally
to the attorney general his reasons
for asking the postponement.

BIG RECEIPTSFOR AMER|CUS
ALREADY THE THOUSAND POINT is REACHED HERE
While Receipts Today viii Garry the Total Well Above 1900 Bales
August Receipts Very Good.

The streets in the vicinity of the
warehouses were blocked with cotton
wagons unloading the $50 bales, for
big fellow of gilt-edged pedigree
will easily bring that amount.
Many big bales have brought as
much as 800 each in Americus.
And this means money; good old
easy cotton money, with some left
over after paying debts.
Many farmers, however, express fear
for the safety of the crop on account
of the long drouth of two weeks.
Forms are shedding, and no new fruit
is taken on. Not a few estimate the
damage inflicted here recently at
fully 25 per cent.
And there is the usual cry of short
,, crop, with the cows pasturing in the
cotton patch in October.
But it is this every year, yet a
good crop is marketed. And the bales
now being sold still bring the fancy
price of 13 1-2 cents, that is--in Am
ericus.
In fact, several bales sold yester-
day over that fancy price, even, and
there is good prospect of even Is
cents in the future.

When August ends with today Am
ericus warehouses will have receiv-
ed a total of 1900 bales of cotton of
the new crop, even if receipts do not
reach the 1900 bale mark. Indica-
tions yesterday pointed directly to
this latter figure.
Yesterdays receipts alone piled up
about 800 bales, and with the hun
reds here previously, added to other
hundreds due today, will make the
total very near 1900 bales.
Such heavy receipts far exceeded
all former estimates, and shows what
Americus is doing as a market for
the feecy in south Georgia.
Two weeks ago the most optomis-
tic cotton buyers and warehousemen
did not count upon more than 500
bales in August, and these opinions
were backed with substantial bets
AS a result, many new hats will have
. to be bought today.
The rains ceased ten days ago, the
cotton opened rapidly, and receipts
during that time have been unexpect-
| edly heavy.
And yesterday proved the banner
day up to this date

GOVERNORS WILL
DEBATE TRUSTS
Gteat Meeting in Chicago
Shortly
CHIEF EXECUTIVES OF STATES
viii Assemble in the Windy City and
Discuss Important Topics
Bearing Upon the Pub
lie Veal.

CHICAGO, August 30.-A score of
governors have accepted invitations
to take part in the national confer
ence on corporations and trusts to
be held in this city next month under
the auspices of the National Civic
Federation. Among the number are
Governors Cummins of Iowa, Folk of
Missouri, Hughes of New York, Cut
Ter of Utah, Warner of Michigan, and
Davidson of Wisconsin.
The conference will consider the
trusts and combination problem, es-
pecially the State and Federal regula-
tion of the corporations, and also the
question of what amendment, if any
should be made to the Sherman Anti
Trust act. The conference is intend
ed to give an opportunity for a free
and full discussion by respective men
from all the walks of life and of every
shade of opinion.
The subjects that are to be discuss
ed are divided into three classes, the
first of which deals with the Govern
mental power over corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce; the
division of power under the Consti-
tuition between the Nation and the
State, and the power concurrent in
Nation and State.
The second class deals with the
question of how should the corpora
ton be constructed?
Should there be National as well
as State corporations? The basis of
capitalization of corporation, the in
ternal control of corporations, provis-
ions looking othe protection of in
yestors and the stockholders, as well
as fair dealing with the public, and
the distinction between public SER
vice and other corporations.
The third division is to consider
the just and practicable limits of the
restriction and regulation, Federal and
State, of combinations in transporta-
ton, production, distribution and la
Dor In other words, the conference
will take up the very latest phases
of the trust question, and from all
Indications the meeting will be the
most important of its kind ever held
in this country.

MANY INJURED IN COLLISION
AMERICUS PEOPLE in SMASHUP ON THE SOUTHERN

party of seven including the Misses

The names of none of these others
appeared in the published list of in

that they were not seriously hurt, even
if they were aboard the Inflated train,
Several other Georgians were more or
less injured.
Relatives here hope to learn some
thing further of the disaster by this
morning, at the latest.
