New York, May 19.-Cotton trading interests here were given a pronounced shock today when it became known that 46 members of the New York cot ton exchange had been, subpoenaed to appear before the federal grand jury of this district. Among those answering the call were all the members of the board of managers of 1905 and also many members of the trade revision committee of the past few years.
 1t is stated on excellent authority that the investigation has to do in an immediate sense with the case of Ed win S. Holmes. wno was dismissed In 1905 from the associate chiefship of the bureau Of statistics, department of ag- riculture after leaks" in the crop re- porting system of the government had been investigated by secret servi 3 agents. One of the aims of the gov ernment now, it Is believed, is to ob-

 CALLED BY GRAND JURY

tain additional evidence with view of reopening the case and entering upon active prosecution.
 The feature of today's happenings which created the biggest stir in the cotton trading circles, however, was demand made by the grand jury, through Federal District Attorney Stimson, for the production of the books of the exchange members sum- inoned. From this many cotton traders have gath cred the idea that the present investigation has a purpose beyond the discovery of additional evidence bear ing on the Holmes case.
 Whether or not the exchange firms will produce their books With out being compelled to do so through court pro- ceedings could not be learned tonight
 Superintendent King of the cotton exchange emphatically denied tonight that the service of the subpoenaes had anything to do with the methods of the classification committee or with the business of the exchange.

Bryan, However, Carries State By Large Majority Over
 Johnson
HATFIELD IS ELECTED
 SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
The Other Place Seems to Be Between Simpson, BIlbro and Alston. O'Neal and Pugh Are
 Probably Safe.

With the complete vote of but two or three counties in the state heard from there is but one thing absolutely ocratic primary.
 w. J. Bryan and three of his ac- credited delegates are elected with good majorities. It Is almost certain that John W. Tomlinson leads the ticket with second honors in contest between Hefin and Clayton. Book ar appears to be elected but Cunningham is making a strong race.
 Johnson carried Montgomery and Mo- bile counties and possibly one or two more in the south ern section. Johnso , boiled surprisingly large vote in a majority of the southern counties, and also ran well in a few sections in the middle and north parts.
 One of the surprises of the election is the apparent pronounced defeat of Senator John A. Lusk of Marshall county for supreme court justice. IT. is known that Senator Lusk was the favorite of the present state executive administra ton. Indeed 1t is said that Governor Conner availed himself )f every opportunity to speak to voters in behalf of the formers candidacy.
 Whether MT. Corners support is in any way responsible for the result is purely a matter of conjecture.
 Mayfield, Simpson and Bilbro stu appear to be in the lead for supreme court justices. Mayfelds election seems about certain. It is impossible at this time to name the possible win ner for the other place, and it Is not impossible for one of the other men te supplant one of the two second men mentioned.
 Emmet ONeal and John c. Pugh are well in the lead for electors at large and there Is hardly any doubt but that they are elected.
 Heated local contests in many of the counties added interest to the ballot ing, and even the fight for state places was overshadowed entirely by some of them.
 In a few of the counties the local tickets were so long and complicated that their counting was not completed until yesterday, thereby delaying the count of the state ticket

Melba elected to appear in La Boheme." She sang h undminished style and was given a great reception. but the general impression is that the enthusiasm tonight was hardly so great as has been displayed on let razzini nights.

"WHEN PEOPLE PASS UPON

Washington, May 19.-(special)-The Alabama primaries resulting in the elec- tion of Bryan delegates to the democratic national convention was a fruitful topic of discussion among democratic members of Congress today. Even those who have been outspoken for the nomination of the governor of Minnesota realize that little can be gained by continuing the fight for his nomination, and, except in the eastern states, where uninstructed delegates will be chosen, the opposition to him will be immaterial Those who are opposing the nomination of the Nebraskan are placing

Delegates Elected.

Montgomery, May 19-The length of the tickets used in Mondays democratic pri- mary election and the bad roads, due to rain, make 1t impossible to secure def- nite returns from the interior counties.

MORGAN.

Decatur, May 19.-(Special)- re- turns of yesterdays democratic primary are not all Tn from the county yet, but the returns received thus far indicate the election of the following county offi- cers: Solicitor law and equity court, D.. F. Green; treasurer, Dick Fyan; tax col lector, George Hardwick; tax assessor, Frank J. Troup; superintendent of educa- tion, F. A. Oden
 The most heated race in the county was for solicitor of the law and equity court The interest manifested in this race over shadowed the race for state offices. P. M. Brindley of Hartsele made good fight for this office and the official figures may yet show that he has been elected, but the vote thus far indicates the cleo tion of MT. Green of New Decatur.
 On the state ticket Wallace carried the county almost solid for game warden. o Neal and Rountree carried the county for electors. The returns indicate that Iusk and Aston have carried the county for supreme court justices. The indica- tions are that the following have carried the county for delegates to the Denver

WILL RALLY TO TRUSTS AID,
BUT NOT TO ASSIST RUSSIA

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-[Editor
Herald: This mornings carrier brings
me your admirable article on Venezula
and a copy of the magnificent plea
made by Tolstoi for cessation of the
reign of bloodshed in Russia. the plea
being most appropriately entitled II
Cannot BE Silent"
Does 1t not seem an extraordinary
thing that this great. and Christian
nation is ready to send it's warships to
intimidate a tenth-rate power that
Furnishes trust for having, as is adj
mitted even by the trust" itself, TO-
mented revolution, and yet cannot see
its way to exercising the pressure that
might terminate the awful reign Of
violence in Russia?
The case is actually worse than this,
Ignorant as we may be of the internal
affairs of the unhappy Russian en-
pire, there seems to be no doubt that
in all these massacres and executions
the cars autocratic government is
unquestionably the great offender. Yet
this country has on various occasions
of late formally expressed it's sympathy
with the very rulers who are the cause
of all the trouble.
This may be modern diplomacy, but
1t is evidently not humanity.
