One man on foot can go over the city
in three days and see that the garbage
is properly removed
Dwights motion for deferment was
unseconded.
Hustace stamped the resolution as a
rash move and said that it reflected
on the board.
Fern refused to withdraw his motion
and Harvey insisted on the question
why didn't the chairman of the
Garbage department tell me if any
thing was wrong or that a change was
committee and am always wishing to
do what 1 can to help you"
Harvey said that the motion was
put and seconded and objected to hav-
ing Hustace thrust his plans down the
boards throat.
Johnson said that if there was any
thing against him he would like to-
know it. He had some credit coming
to him. He knew that there was
politics behind the resolution.
Fern said that he introduced his
resolution because he didn't think
Johnson or any other man should hold
two offices. He also wanted to see the
of stores and houses that didn't get
their garbage removed.
Hustace said that the resolution was
outrageous. He didn't think that the
members of the board had begun to be
supervisors yet.
'fOnlv vou." said Harvey.
"You shouldn't say that to me-" said
the chair. We've made a good record
so far and we don't want to spoil it,
If we hadn't made a good record the

for it's all good advertising and will
do good if we run for election again .
Are we going to stay here all
night?" queried Fern.
1.-The shortest way is to put II to
VOTE said Harvey, land if we've
made a mistake it will be found OUT
Cox said that hts record was of al
ways having backed up the commit
| tees. He had no axe to grind and
would do what was right. Politics cut
no ice with him. He thought that the
department could be run cheaper.
Dwight said that he was in the dark
as to how to vote because the chair
man of the garbage committee had
produced no figures as to what the
cost of the proposed change would be,
Archer said that $500 a month was
all that would be asked for. He
thought that if new business was cam
vassed the income Of the department
| would greatly increase.
Harvey and Fern abated their e1o-
quence in order to mop their brows
and Hustace suggested an adjournment
which was taken until the 18th inst,
at 7:3O p. m.

An overdue police bill provoked
some little discussion. The sheriff had
had some repairs made to the police
station without having previously
notified the board.
The chair said that this kind of
thing must stop and told the police
committee TO see to it that in future
no authority is given for the purchase
of anything out of the ordinary until
the matter had been brought to the
attention of the board.
Harvey said that the sheriff had
brought the matter to the notice of the
committee. He thought that the money
had been well spent.

was apparently of fairly high grade. Conse-
quently it is certain that the amount Of very
low grade cotton carried over in New York
for any considerable period of years cannot
be extremely large. On the other hand, there
is some cotton which has thus been carried
over from year to year.
The president of the New York Cotton
Exchange, in November, 1907, stated to the re-
vision committee that some cotton had been
IN the New York stock for four years, and
that the reason it had not been purchased for
consumption was that it was Of such poor
quality as to be undesirable at the grade diff
ference then ee:4tsting.
''While 4EtteAe. charges against the grad
ing of cott6a< at New York have undoubtedly
exaggerated actual conditions, nevertheless it
is certain that serious overclassifcation has
frequently occurred in2that market.

standard prescribed for contract delivery been

New York Cotton Exchange is gambling
institution and not mercantile exchange is
practically sustained in the report submitted
to President Roosevelt by Commissioner of
Corporations Herbert Knox Smith, and made
public today.
Mr.. Smiths report is based on an exhaus-
tive investigation begun shortly after the
adoption by the House of resolution intro
duced by Representatives Burleson and Living
ston on February f. 1907. That resolution
was aimed to ascertain why contracts sold on
the New York and New Orleans exchanges
brought about such violent fluctuations in the
price of cotton, and also to learn whether the
members Of the exchange, by combining among
themselves, brought about depression in prices
because, under the terms of the contracts
they could deliver any one Of thirty grades Of
cotton.
The House resolution followed close upon
the filing of charges of fraud against the
New York Cotton Exchange with Postmaster
General Cortelyou by Representative Living
ston and Harvie Jordan, president Of the
Southern Cotton Association of Atlanta on
which fraud order against the officials and
members of the Exchange was asked
The charges, which seem to be upheld, in
part at least by Mr.. Smith, include the fol-
lowing:
New York Gambling Exchange
"That New York City has ceased to be
commercial spot cotton market, and that the
New York Cotton Exchange, operating under
its present debased and fraudulent contracts,
has developed into purely speculative or
gambling exchange, and that the grades of
cotton shipped to New York and tenderable
on the contract under the rules of the New
York Cotton Exchange cannot be used for
commercial spinning purposes, and that such
grades Of cotton are used solely to depress
the price of spinnabe grades in the South, to
further the speculative features of the New
York Cotton Exchange, to the heavy detriment
Of the entire legitimate trade of the Uuited
States. ("
The care with which Mr.. Smith modiies
his findings seems to have been forecasted
by Representative Burleson, who, in letter
to Mr.. Jordan on April 80, this year, wrote:
81 do not believe that the President has
any idea of making recommendations along
the line on which think legislation should
be had The report from the Bureau Of
Corporations on the resolution written and

Even Bucket Shops Do Less Injury
Recently the Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor gave out an interview, in which he
stated that the President was not opposed to
the legitimate cotton exchange, but was op-
posed to bucket shops, etc. |, too, am op-
posed to bucket shops, but the injury to the
cotton producer coming from bucket shop op-
seraTons is nil compared with the great hurt
,1hiSkis done him by operations on the So
called legitimate cotton exchanges
Mr. Shssth in his report indicates that he
will have mach more to say later on. What
he gave eat cfor publication today was two
parts dealing with cotton exchange methods
of classification Of cotton and~with the range
of contract grades Subsequent parts, he
says, will take upethe effects of exchange rules
and other conditions upon the price. In the
report made public today he says:
So far as spinners are concerned the
practical certainty of receiving several differ
ent kinds Of cotton on one contract makes It'll
impossible for them to buy their cotton ons
the exchanges
''The contract must be broad enough toN
induce general trading thereon, and thus fur 4
nish the broad market necessary to fulfil thek
true functions Of an exchange. There is mol
reasonable obligation, however, to take careH
of that part Of the crop which is for mostB
purposes unspinnable, and the admission of
very low grades Of such understandable or !
unspinnable cotton into the exchange stocks !
creates several evils. The effect Of such cot 4
ton is to depress the price of future contracts,
and this tends to affect unfavorably the value
of the entire CROP the great bulk Of which is

Stock Held Till It's Rubbish.
The investigation has shown that many ex-
IRENE charges regarding the stock of cotton
at New York cannot be fully sustained.
"a prevailing impression that many thou
sands Of bales of cotton in the New York
market have been carried for many years, UNI
til the stock is little more than an accumula- /
ton Of rubbish, is disproved by the fact that
the entire stock at New York has on severalk
occasions in recent years been reduced to al
very small quantity. Thus, in October, 1900s
the total certifcated stock was only trife D
over 5000 bales, and as recently as Septem.
Der, 1904, it was only 1880 bales. At the

ESCAPED CONNECTS

RENO, Oct. 1.-Advices from the
penitentiary are to the effect that the
Nevada state police and a number of
guards of the prison this morning
found the trail of E. A. Davis and
William Lane, the two convicts, who
some time yesterday afternoon es-
capped from the prison, and that they
will probably be captured in the

We come now to the question of Ia
bor One important phase of the poll
cies of the present administration has
been an anxiety to secure for the wage
Garner an equality of opportunity and
such positive statutory protection as
shall place him on a level in dealing
with his employer.
The Republican party has passed an
employers liability act for interstate
railroads, and has established an eight
hour law for government employees and
on government construction. The es-
sence of the reform effected by the for
mer, is the abolition of the fellow-ser-
want rule and the introduction of the
comparative negligence theory by
which an employee injured in the service
of his employer does not lose all his
right to recover because of slight negli-
gence on his part
Then there is the act providing for
compensation for injury to government
employees together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances
upon interstate commerce railroads for
the protection of their employees and
limiting the hours of their employment
These are all instances of the desire
of the Republican party to do justice to
the wage-earners.
\ a nhnr live
measure for compensation of govern
ment employees will be adopted in the
future the principle in such cases has
been recognized and in the necessarily
somewhat slow course of legislation
will be more fully embodied in definite
statutes.
The interests of the employer and the
employe never differ except when it
comes to division of the joint profit
of labor and capital into dividends and
wages. This must be constant source
of periodical discussion between the
| employer and the employee, as indeed
/ are the other terms of the employment
To give to employees their proper po-
|
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they
may well unite, because in union there
is strength, and without it. each indi-
vidual laborer and employe would be
helpless. The promotion of the indus
trial peace through the instrumentality
of the trade agreement is often one of
the results of such union when intelli-
gently conducted.
There is large body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of the union men, and are to be
protected with the same care and
watchfulness.
In order to induce their employer
into compliance with their request

the national assembly and the full dis
cussion of the situation that has
arisen from the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary
and the Bulgarian declaration of indie

ton, has undertaken all necessary
measures for a vigorous defense of
Servian interests. 1t has declared fur

SQUADRON LEAVES Annoy
Chinese Apathy Disappears on Depar.
ture of Warships.

Annoy, Nov. 6.-The Second squad
ron of the American battleship fleet,
which, under the command of Rear
Admiral Emory, has been in Annoy
since Oct. 80 as the guest of the gov
eminent of China, brought it's visit to
close when it steamed out of the
harbor bound for Olongapo to join the
First squadron under Admiral Sperry
The departing warships were given
a demonstration in marked contrast
to the apathy which was noticeable on
their arrival. The hills behind the
beach were black with people who
had assembled to view the spectacle
and the firing of crackers continued
for one hour
The cost of the reception has ex-
ceeded $1,000,000. The Chinese gov
eminent has been lavish in it's gifts to
the American officers and men and
the final official function on shore, the
entertainment afforded by the Chinese
government, was declared by the
Americans to have been, with the ex-
ception of Australia, second to none.
