WAR ON COT
 TON SPECULATION
Mnillions by Price ManipuIa- tLNM-EO RemcIX the Evil

Blrmingham. Ala, Jan. 19.=War to the finish on the New York Cot ton Exchange was declared by Pres ident Harvie Jordan of the South nual address at the convention of the organization here today.
 The doom of every private wire exchange and bnc1Sat-shop in a num- Der ot the southern states was also asserted by him to be near at hand by the passage of laws of extcrmina- tion by the yarious Legislatures this winter. He said that in this way the whole south will be freed of species of graft and iniquity that has for years periodically robbed the people of millions of dollars and depressed the price of cotton far be- low it's legitimate value.
 sWe want the New York Cotton Exchange to deliver spinnable grades of cotton on contracts based upon the intrinsic value of the staple, said President Jordan. and to stop it's present practice of oper- ating gambling institution to the great detriment of southern cotton growers. or We will make every eff for through the state and federal legal departments to force it out of business.
 '.The greatest evil with which the southern cotton growers and the manufacturers of American cotton have had to contend has been the speculation in cotton futures
 President Jordan warned /he growers to keep down their cotton acreage in 1907 so as to keep up the price of the product and to in- crease as far as possible the acre age in necessary food supply crops.
 M. l.. Johnson, president of the Georgia division of the association, denounced Wall street speculation as bane to the cotton producer.
 Every one of the eleven cotton stats were represented at tn con- vention.

whom these fashions are extremely becoming, ill fact their faces look better so framed than in any other mode; so, if some fashion leader such fad, We may indeed see the black velvet strings that hang down the back, are brought forward and fastened in front with a jeweled pin take new lease of life.
 But returning to the subject of coats, there have been few years in which we have seen so much of the separate coat. It is everywhere. Women wear it for the street, the carriage, the theatre. Where wo- men once wore coat of black or plaid over any costume, no matter what the color, today they have sev- eral coats, one for each costume If she can afford it. Where one must economize, many womeh manage to get one coat to go with a certain costume to make it complete, and then buy service coat to go over the other frocks. Wraps for the theatre are of light colored fabrics as usual thing, but again if one must be saving to many evening affairs on foot and in the street cars, black broadcloth satin-fin- ished is the most serviceable. It should be lined with white satin. the quilted king is prettier than the plain variety. The style best adapt ed for such coat is the empire with loose fitting yoke and plaits back and front. The angel sleeves seen on many of these coats are too cool for service on cold nights, so the Bishop sleeve with it's elastic string at the wrist, finished with lace ruffles is substituted

FAMED WOMAN
 SINGER DRUNK"
Lottie Gilson, Who Used to Marble "She's Loidy With Spotless Reputation" Reprimand-
 ed by Court.

New York, Jan. 19--''Are you the one who used to sing Shes Loidy With a Spotless Reputa- tion?' inquired Magistrate Breen in the Yorkville police court as a plump little woman with a picture hat on slightly askew stepped upon the bridge.
 "Yes, I'm the same one" she an swered.
 And the officer says you were in- toxicated--too bad" said the magistrate. Then he gave the act ress a reprimand and let her go There was no money in her tinsel gilt purse.
 The prisoner at the bar was Lottie Gilson, "The Little Magnet" who once on a time drew her severa! hundred week for twinkling her nimble toes and singing "The Sum shine of Paradise Alley" and such like songs in vaudeville.
 The round little face had lost some of it's piquancy and there were hard lines about the big baby blue eyes, but in other essentials it was same Lottie Gilson who faced the magistrate today, nodding in affirm ation as he skinned through the complaint. She was untitled in fur coat and there were diamonds on her fingers, but half a night on the sidewalk and the other half in cell had not done her toilet any good. She said it was her first time in a cell.

DfhVfR CONVENTION
OF WESTERN PEOPLE
Called to Meet If June for Discussion
of the Questions Affecting Public
Lands ard the Home Seekers.

a public lands convention has been
called TO meet in Denver June Is. -,
and 70 of this year and Arthur Wi
liams, secretary OF the Denver chaynb r
of commerce has issued a circular let
ter to all interested concerning The
convention. 1t announces some of the
arrangements for the convention and
urges the sending of delegates by all
commercial organizations. The circu-
lar and the closing words Of the intro
duction which explains its purpose. ere
as follows:
Homeseekers are pouring into the
west. anxious 10 secure homes and be-
come citizens of the newer states
While there are still vast areas to be
settled, new governmental policies re-
gaTding these lands are so hindering
the homesteader that il is becoming
more and more difficult Tor the settler
to find a location where he may be
permitted 10 build him home. 1t may
be that the laws require amendment.
but the amendment should be in the
direction of a more liberal policy to-
wards the homeseeker.
Believing that the matter is of suf-
ncient Importance to Justify a confer
ence between the states directly inter
ested. the Sixteenth General Assembly
of Colorado directed the governor to
correspond with the governors of other
states similarly situated as regards
these lands. and ask them To join COL
orddo in a convention. where the mat
ter might be considered in the fullest
possible way. As far as heard from,
all the states so addressed are heart j
lily in favor of the effort To throw the 1
light of publicity on these questions.
The citizens of Denver have arrang
ed To take care of all thu expense of D
holding the convention. Arrangements
are being made for low rates on the
railroads. which will be announced
later.
