He CORNERS COTTON.
Young specuIator Causes a Sensation
to Wall Street.


New York, Aug. 11.-A fair haired,
beardless man Of 81, younger looking
by ten years than his age, who sits in
back room Of a Wall street broker
age house and issues orders to a score
Of busy clerks in a gently modulated
voice, has possessed himself of every
bale of cotton not under contract in the
warehouses Of Greater New York and
is smilingly watching the painful con-
tortions of a group of grizzled bears on
the New York cotton exchange.
These bears have sold 100000 bales
of cotton for October delivery. while
the visible supply in the vicinity of this
town is only $4,000 bales, the ware
house receipts for which repose safely
in the strong box of this newest Ma
poleon of speculation.
Such situation has never before
been known in the history Of the local
cotton market. In many respects this Is
the most remarkable corner ever at
tempted, existing as it does in ngthe face
of glowing prospects for an abundant
cotton crop.
This unique condition is the handi-
work of Jesse L. Livermore, Wall
street lamb, who has built up q fort
une of millions from an original bank
roll of $3.12. Estimates of his win
nings range from $3,000,000 up to fig
ures he himself admits are absurd. His
friends say he has the money safely
invested against the vicissitudes of the
hazardous game he is playing.

SENIOR GARLAND IN JAIL.
His Pretty American Wife NarrowI,
Escapes Same Fate.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. II. - Senior
lAllejandro Garland, son OF the vice
president of Peru, and former secre-
tary of the Peruvian legation at
Washington, spent Saturday night in
the city Jail on a charge of disturbing
the peace His wife, Louise Garland,
who was Louise Scott, and who is a
cousin of Mrs. Charles j. Bonaparte,
wife of the attorney general, is a
beautiful woman, well known in the
national capital. She was arrested
with Garland on the same charge, but
escaped imprisonment by depositing
$50 cash bail to insure her appear
ance in the police court.
The arrests grew out OF quarrel
between the two, which began Thurs
day over Garlands objection to his
wife carrying on correspondence
with officials and politicians in Wash
ington. Among these Garland specific
ally mentioned Colonel Charles A.
Edwards, with whom he had an en-
counter last year in the fashionable
apartments occupied by Miss Scott.
In addition to the quarrel over the
correspondence, Mrs. Garland refused
to pay $4 which Garland owed for the
rent of their room. This occasioned a
wordy war between the two. and fn-
ally led to their being elected from
the house and their belongings thrown
into the street.

BILE William Salter, of the first Con-

tanned a decree of divorce from D. LIE
Roy Dresser of New York, brother-in-
law of George W. Vanderbilt and uncle

FAvoRs NEW PRIMARY.
Council Bluffs Would Again Submit
Senatorship to the People.

0endIOFSUtP 70 tHS TSVPiSs
Special to Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Apg. 1.-THE Nom
pareil of this city, a standpat organ
favors holding another and informal
primary to settle the question of the
senatorship. There has been consider
able interest in the matter. The paper
says editorially:
For the governor to resign now
with the understanding that he is to
be appointed by his successor would
raise a storm of protest from. many
quarters, and to call an extra Session
of the legislature, would entail an ex-
pense that most of the people would
regard wholly unnecessary. The same
objection might be urged against the
holding of an informal primary cleo
tion in which the people could again
vote for the candidate Of their choice.
The last course would most nearly con-
form to the letter and spirit Of the
latest and most approved methods Of
selecting candidates for any office, and
for the governor to advocate such a
procedure would be proof to the peo-
pie Of the state that he proposes to re-
main consistent with the purposes Of
the primary law, in the enactment Of
which, he was an important factor"

Des Moines, Aug. 11-A conference
of all republican candidates for state,
congressional, legislative and judicial
offices, county chairman, newspaper
editors, and others interested in the
party welfare, will be held in Des
Moines, Aug. %. Chairman c. F..
FRANKIE of the republican state central
committee will issue invitations to the
candidates this week, extending to all
other republicans who may desire to
attend general invitation to do SO.
The meeting coming at the time of
the state fair in Des Moines, those at
tending can take advantage of the low
rates offered at that time. The purpose
of the meeting will be to get the ex-
preston of party leaders on matters
of recent development in political af-
fairs, and let the candidates become
more thoroughly conversant with the
work the state committee is doing and
intends to do.
While the invitation which Chairman
FRANKIE will send out will not so state
the conference is primarily intended
for discussion of the senatorial situa-
ton. 1t is believed that the opportun-
ity will be offered for the legislative
candidates to take up and solve the
senatorial problem. The conference
promises to be of great Importance in
Iowa political affairs and it seems
probable now that it will become ia
nous as harmony meeting where the
specter of the bitter factional struggle
in Iowa will be hidden away forever.
Following the lead of the Davenport
Times both the Ottunwa Courier and
Muscatine Journal, members OF the Lee
syndicate and formerly Allison papers
published in counties which returned
Allison majorities have come out
squarely for Cummins for senator. The
Des Moines Capital announces that
both Congressman Haugen, of the
Fourth district and Walter I. Smith. of
the Ninth are candidates but no verifi-
cation of the story can be obtained.
The Nonpareil, National Committee
man Hart's organ, at Council Bluffs
favors another primary vote to be held
at the time of the general election.
George L. Dobson, of this city, who
is recognized standpatter andi who
is not classed as one of the governor 3
supporters, said few days ago that
the proper thing for the governor to
do was to call a special session of the
legislature. He is the nominee of the
republicans for county treasurer.
1t is understood that the business
men Of Des Moines will endeavor to
take some part in the campaign for the
governor. They propose to boost for
Des Moines for one reason and anoth-
er reason is that practically all of the
business men of Des Moines are ad-
mirers of the governor. They see that
it would be some advantage to have a
United States senator live here and
propose to use every influence they can
to get solid support for the governor
at least from Des Moines.

New York, Aug. 11.-Optimistic
views on business conditions abroad
and the outlook for American enter
prises there were expressed by Dar-
win p. Kingsley, president of the New
york Life Insurance Company, who
has lust returned from a four months
trip thru all the principal countries OF
Europe, including Russia.
He said that he sought out and
met men Of every class and inter-
viewed bankers and government min
listers in nearly all the capitals Of
Europe.
"I found practically no hostility to
America or American Institutions ne
continued. "on the contrary, the
products Of American. enterprises are
today more largely in evidence than
ever before.
"In every considerable city there
are handsome plants offering success
fully American shoes, American type
writers, American plows. reapers,
and all kinds; Of agricultural imple-
ments and American life insurance.
"Governmental regulations arc
strict but friendly. I found the for
eign insurance departments friendly
in their attitude toward American
companies. None Of the European
countries have adopted any laws un-
favorable towards the American COM
panies and they show no disposition
to do so.
Americans, as they call us, are
cordially welcome in Spain, notwith-
standing the late unpleasantness, and
in Russia the word America is still
one to conjure with, Notwithstanding
the sympathy, America was supposed
to have with Japan in their recent
trouble.
"There is general recognition of
the increasing Importance of the
United States. In the minds of the
masses of the people, the United
States IS still the land of opportunity,
and they maintain toward 1t the ro-
mantle interest which necessarily at
taches to that frame Of mind. They
expect great things from the people
here. They criticize us, but they do
1t in a kindly way.
