A DEFIANT CRATER.
Former Warden Moore Examined I'm
Georgia Investigation.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 4.-Jacob Moore,
formerly chief warden Of the State,
whose official acts have been severely
criticised during the present investi-
CATION into the convict lease system,
was the principal witness before the
legislative Investigating committee to-
day. DR.. Handy, large lessee "'of
cohvicts, who twas on the Stand yes
'terday, twas again called today, his
testimony Being along the same lines
as that previously given by him.
Former Warden Moore stated that
he had often. while acting as chief
warden, arranged the transfer Of
convicts from a camp where they
were aot needed, to another camp,
where they were desired, and for this
service at various times had made
$4,000. He said he had acted under
the advice of his attorney, and di not
believe he had done wrong or failed
in any Of his duties to the State. He
contended that in arranging the trans
fer OF 25 to so men from a small
camp to one already established, he
saved the State from s2,5OO to $4,000
year in salaries.
The witness took up the various
acts Of cruelty and brutality, which
other witnesses had charged he knew
about, and declared that his actions
in every case had been governed by
the evidence brought out by witnesses
Of these affairs when he made his Of
fetal investigations. He denied that
he had ever used a convict unjustly or
that he had ever harrassed or annoy
ed a convict lessee in an attempt to
have such lessee surrender men work.

BIG CORNER IN COTTON.
THE YOUNG BROKER IIVERNORE
OF NEW YORK HAS MADE A
SCOOP.
Has Secured Entire Supply Of Cotton
Available for Delivery OH Contract
Farmers Are Standing Pat.

New York, Aug. 6.-The entire SUD-
ply Of cotton stored in New York
city and vicinity available for deliv-
cry on contract is said to have been
acquired by J. L. Livermore, the Young
broker. who last May made more
than $1,0OO,000 in a corner on the
July option. The New York visible
supply consists Of only $4,000 bales
Of cotton, worth about $1,000, 900.
During the last two weeks cotton
has advanced in this market over
$3.50 bale and the shorts have been
bordering upon panic. An enormous
quantity Of October contracts have
been sold short in New York, be-
cause Of the general belief of the
trade in reports from the cotton
States that an enormous crop will be
gathered. AS consequence, prices in
New York have been depressed far
below the commercial value of the
cotton in the South.
ter have been bought and shipped
away; so that its available supply is
the lowest in several years. Mr.. Liv-
ermore and several other cotton men
began buying August contracts sew
eral weeks ago, until they are said to
have acquired every bale not under
contract to the spinners and other con-
sumers. ~
The situation has been made all
the more remarkable by the fact that
the Farmers Union has secured
pledges from nearly every planter in
the South that he will not sell cotton
before December below 10 cents, for
midd!ing. That this pledge is being
kept is shown by the fact that in
southern Texas, where the crop is
just beginning to make it's appearance.
cotton has advanced within the past
week 20 to so points.
pi ominent member Of the cotton
exchan ;e said yesterday that the
short interests in October amonts to
nearly 100000 bales. The total value
OF this cotton would be nearly $780,
100000. The amount Of the LIVER
more pools profit could not be deter
mined yesterday, as their holdings
were acquired quietly. This corner is
said to be, the first attempted in
many years in New York in the face
OF an abundant crop. Daniel ]. Sully
operated several corners before his
collapse. which was due more to the
treachery Of other members of the
syndicate than lack Of strength in
mis- speculative position. Sully put
the price Of cotton to 16 cents in one
Of his corners.
