TALKS EXPOSITION
Secretary Boosts for Seattle Fair In
1909, and Also Introduces the Philip
pine commlssioners-caiIs on the
President Later.

Washington, Jan. 27.The appear
ance OF Secretary Taft before the
house committee on Industrial arts
and expositions today in support Of an
appropriation for the Seattle exposi-
tion in 1909 was the signal for dem
onstration in his honor.
The proceedings were interrupted
when he entered the room by hand
clapping and humping on the tables.
The congressional delegation from
Washington, as well as delegation Of
business men and officials from that
state. also were presented and ap-
pealed for an appropriation. 3
Secretary Taft thought that on ac-
count Of the Philippine finances the
government would not be able to
make any exhibition Of considerable
size, but he said the war department
would have the jamestown Philippine
exhibit sent to Seattle.
Answering question by Mr.. Miller
Of Kansas, Secretary Taft said that It
was more important for the United
States to have expositions in the west
than in the east, because they have q
direct bearing on our Oriental trade
that will be q substantial contribution
to our progress In that direction. The
next so years, he said, will see the
greatest development In the world on
the Pacific coast, and he added: '1
1T seems to me we ought to be in
It," " *.
Calls on Payne.
Mr.. Taft later visited Representa-
tive Payne OF New York, republican
floor manager Of the house, in the
ways and means committee room and
secured the privilege Of the floor for
the Philippine commissioners, Benoito
Legarda and Pablo Campo, in order
that they might formally be welcomed
by the house. Before he left the cap
itol, the secretary was asked II he
meant to wait and meet Mr.. Bryan.

not even know he was to be at the
capitol today" 3.
Secretary Taft hastened from the
capitol to the White House, where he
was due to present the Philippine
commissioners to the president.

of one big company took the appear
ance of concerted effort on the part Of
millers to stop the price manipulation
that has been going on openly in the
Minneapol pit for some time and has
threatened to end in a corner in Nav

The miIlers' contention is that 2

paralyze the Industry; that while
there is wheat enough there is so
small a quantity of No. / Northern.

that one large firm or a combination
of firms might control it and run

Not AII Bryan Men.

The Mississippi delegation to
Denver is not solidly for Bryan,
according to the Jackson represen-
tative of the Times-Democrat,
though all will probably vote for
him if he does not insist on con-
demning Roosevelt for his stand
on the Brownsville episode. The
writer says
''There is some speculation here
as to whether or not the solid Mis-
sissippi delegation to Denver will
vote for Bryan 1t is known that
there are some of the members who
are not Bryan men. and under the
peculiar method of selecting the
delegates prescribed in the primary
election law, there are in reality
two separate delegations, one be-
ing selected by the district conven-
tions and the other from the State
at large by the State convention.
The district delegates we're chosen
before the State convention met, as
delegates to Denver, and their Gre
dentials would come properly from
the district conventions. The State
convention had nothing whatever
to do with their selection and could
not have changed them had it so
desired. None of the district del
.egates,o or rather onlya few of them,
were instructed at all, and whether
or not they feel in any way bound
BY insvs ions - the Staes
convention is the question, also
whether or not they are bound by
the unit rule. Certainly if the
State convention had no right to
instruct them, which seems plausi-.
bic at least, it would have no right
to bind them by the unit rule.
Nothing would have been thought
of the matter at all and the delega.
ton would have gone on, doubt
less, and have voted for Bryan
without question but for the IN
formation contained in recent press
dispatches to the effect that Bryan
desires to put plank in the plat
form censuring Roosevelt for his
action in the Brownsville affair.""

AGREED VERDICT.
Supreme Court to Affirm Chan
ceIlor Hicks on Appeal and
cross-AppeaI.

1t has been agreed between the at
torneys representing the State and
those representing the Gulf Com
press Company, that the decision of
Chancellor Hicks shall be affirmed
on appeal and on cross-appeal, thus
leaving the matter as it stood few
months ago when he decided that
the Gulf Compress Company was a
trust and combine as defined by the
laws of the State.
It was also ordered by Chancellor
Hicks that the Gulf Compress Com
pany should wind up its affairs and
get out of the State of Mississippi in
one year. The year has almost ex-
pired and there is no evidence that
the company intends to get out Of
the State.
In the meantime the Company has
gone into the hands of a receiver, ap-
pointed by the Federal court, and it
may be that the receiver will en-
deavor to run along under his re-
ceivership. Attorney General
Fletcher states that the State does
notobject to going into the Federal
court; he admits its Jurisdiction, but
does not believe the Federal court
will permit an Illegal business to be
conducted in the State even under
a receivership, and does not fear the
outcome of such a test in that tri-
bunal.
This case was instituted in the
Chancery Court of Warren county
almost one year ago by District At
torney Thames, and Attorney Cen
eral Fletcher joined in with him in
the prosecution. They won before
the chancellor, and could have in
sisted that the Gulf Compress Com
pany get out of the Stale at that
time, but In view of the fact that
the farmers were just beginning to
put their cotton on the market and
there was nc other cospfess
handle same at that time, it was
agreed that the company should
have one year in which to wind up
its affairs.
The appointment of receiver has
complicated matters to some extents|
but even in the event that the re-
ceiversbip should not entitle the
corporation to operate In Mississip-
pi, the farmers of the State do not
seem to be in any better condition
than they were a year ago, as no
other compress companY.is in exist
ence nor making arrangements to
handle the cotton crop now grow

Piled with the provisions of house
bill No. 800, passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, requiring
them to obtain and publish lists of
the internal revenue licenses grant

The reasons for this neglect are
not plainly apparent, since general
publicity has been given to the new
statute from time to time during
the past thirty days, and in order to
obtain the required information the
sherifs had only to address letters
to the internal revenue collector
of the district In a majority Of
cases it seems that the sheriffs have
