Ner Lac Goes INTO Efect-Con-
soLidated Erchange Puts Up Bars.

Charles H Radeau. president Of the Consoli-
dated Stock Exchange, has issued the following
statement IN regard to the anti-bucket shop law,
which went into effect yesterday:
The efforts of the bucket shop men to obtain
direct representation the Consolidated Stock
Exchange since the passage Of the anti-hucket
shop law have all been frustrated. and we expect
bucket shop clients. The law is an excellent one
because IL drives out of business very per
nicious element Several OF the attacks upon
Wall Street of recent years have been due in large
measure to the rascaIy dealings Of the bucket
shop interests. ard the brokers the legitl-
mate exchanges should not he made to suffer in
the public mind through their nefarious work
william E Bishop. who has led the crusade
vaged by Wall Street against the bucket shop bust
ness for the last Eve years said yesterday that the
new law would make little change in this city. for
the simple reason that for time there have
been practically no bucket shops in operation here
One small bucket shop in Brooklyn, which has
hung on in spite of the crusaders, did not open
yesterday for business.
Bucket shops driven out Of the Wall Street
district several years ago by the efforts of the
property owners, who formed a combination and
refused TO rent Office room TO bucket shop men
The only quarters which We're available for bucket
shop business in ramshacke old buildings
and # was difficult 10 attract customers TO such
places The anti-bucket shop crusaders, when a
place was found had little trouble in forcing out
Of business.
Il is ir the upstate towns and cities where the
bucket shops have ourished that the effect of the
new law will be felt Many of these places will be
forced go out business. while Others who have
been ''on the square" will make connections with

BUREAU REPORT ON COTTON.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The crop reporting board of
the bureau of statistics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture announced to-day that the
condition of the cotton crop on August 25 was 761

ton for the last ten years
The annual report of the cotton crop of the
United States for the year ended August g. 1908.
as compiled by William V King. superintendent
of the New York Cotton Exchange. shows total
yield of 1153oo02 bales. compared with 135Ss.siS
bales In the preceding year. Mr. King states that.
while this aggregate falls below the general ex-
pectation formed at the beginning of the season,
yet the moderate supply under the prevailing de-
preston in business has proved amply sufficient for
all requirements of the consumer.
The total exports for the year to foreign coun-
tries the report states, 1870 S35 bales 65
per cent of the CROP against SS64,260 bales or 81
per cent of the crop in tie preceding year. The
takings for year by the mills North and South.
the report adds show a total OF s166 bales.
compared with 514096 bales last year. OF the total
exports $500 bales returned from Europe to
this country. OF the exported cotton Great Brit

since the preceding report caused considerable
comment on the local Cotton Exchange, because of
the wide discrepancy existing between the govern
nnents figures and those of the private crop ex-
perts The latter were from to points higher
than the government estimates. 1t the gen
eraI opinion among the trade that the government
figures underestimate the condition on the date
given and that they were made as low as was
consistently possible with the view of helping the
growers to receive good prices for their cotton
II was pointed out in this connection that the
governments condition ftsores in the past have
proved TO be misleading in many instances. With
the increased acreage of tie present year and the
condition of 761 as given by the government. the
crop estimates yesterday from u 10000 bales
to 100000. Former estimates ran as high as
Il 500 900 bales.
Although the government figures were lower than
had been expected, bears showed great confidence
and all efforts on the part of the bulls to force
up prices ended in failure The market closed
steady at a net decline of II to II points.

10 LACK OF MANLY BOYS
NezC York Educators Deny Femini-
zation of Schools.

The old crv about the efreminization of boys by
women teachers has been raised again. this time
by George W. Ehler. late athletic director "f
Cleveland's public schools. Mr.. Eher made the
charge against the women teachers the occasion
of his resignation from this post. The schools. he
declared. were not turning out manly lads They
lacked the qualities man would teach by example
In games they showed no sportsnans honor They
merely wanted to win. They were cutters and
taeoearers and their characters were negative not
positive. The school board of Cleveland does not
take this view. but President Thwlns or western
Reserve University indorses it
DR.. Luther H Guck, physical director of the
public schools of New York City. disagrees most
emphaticalIy with Mr. Ehler. He has not noticed
that the boys under mis- supervision are becoming
ladylike, in spite of the thirteen thousand women
teachers. Neither has any one intimated to him
that they do not show much mantiness in their
athletic sports any other boys
NO one has suggested he said to a Tribune
reporter yesterday that football played by the
boys Of the New York puDlic schools is effeminate
that basketball has become mild and ladylike
game
IF women teachers tend to make boys efennate.
it is strange that they DO not seem 70 have that
effect in New York. where there many Of
them. Last winter. you may remember, there was
discussion about discipline in the schools. and
some thought it would be necessary to restore cor
pora punishment. That does not look II the
boys were mild and ladylike. In Of our
schools particularly in Brooklyn, the principal and
teachers ali women. and yet these schools take
splendid in athletics. This is because the
teachers have made the work go They don {
actually do the themselves but they furnish
the inspiration. a
1T is the old question that has alvsSs been
in the world. The mothers OF all of have been
women. In the age of chvaIry the women were the
inspiration OF the men, yet accused the
knights of effemnacy In fact, the whole history
of bullhghts and similar exhibitions shows that
women can be just as savage men,
"Of course think that in the schools we'll as
ir the home should be the mans influence
we'll as the woman's but plain matter Of ex-
perience during the time that have had them un-
der observation 1 have never had any occasion to
fear that our boys were becoming weak and efenn-
New-York tribune., 1908-09-02

General George W wingats president Of ths
Public Schools Athletic League. and member OF
the Board of Edueation. both agrees and disagrees
with George W Ehier.
Mr.. Eher Is dead wrong about women teachers
making tale bearers Of boys" General wingats
said TO Tribune reporter Il believe that up to
the age of twelve boy ought to be under woman
teacher. No man-unless he's very exceptional
man-ought to have anything do with child un-
der eight Women understand the child nature bet
ter. They more sympathetic. and they can teach
the boy honorable conduct as well as or better than
a man. That IL while the boy is child. After the
boy reaches twelve or thereabouts he needs a man.
Ever II the man teacher is rouzher and harsher he
is good for the boy Boys respect the man teacher
more; rule. viii obey him quicker Men can
:alk to boys about things women can't They talk
from the mans standpoint. They understand
boys and what boys have got when they
become men
It's just like the difference between the mothers
attitude and the fathers The mother says. Johnny.
don't do this; Johnny. don't do that Johnny. don't
fight. etc. The father may acquiesce. but in bis
heart he Is glad that the hoy does those things TX
he says anything he u say. Don't pick fight. but
IL you are attacked put up good fight as you
can
The great reason why General wingate favors
teachers for big boys is that men are mora
interested in athletics.
Il want TO dfrerentiate between different women.
