GIGANTIC SCHEME
- ,saass..GEiSIs5Sss
PLAN BIGGEST WAREHOUSE IN
THE WORLD.
The Prime object Of the Movement
Is to Control the Cotton Crop and

Its Price.
A dispatch from New Orleans says
!! the New Orleans Cotton Exchange
and the cotton merchants and plan
| ters of that section Of the country
will ask the state of Louisiana to
construct a gigantic cotton ware
house on the river front in the city Of
New Orleans The plans are an.
nounced by w. B. Thompson, presi-
dent of the Cotton Exchange. The
proposed warehouse will be the larg-
| est in the world, and will be big
enough to store. the entire cotton
crop of the South. 1t will cost sew
eral, million dollars. !.
T! The prime object of the moye-
ment is to control the cotton crop
! and the prices of the staple. In
addition to the support of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, it has the
backing OF the Southern Cotton AS
J =
sociation.
Discussing the matter, President
Thompson of the Cotton Exchange,
said that the plan meant millions of
dollars saved for the people Iof the
South.
I'VE are convinced that the ware
house should be a quasi-public insti-
tuition, in which the city and the
state will be interested" he said.
According to our plans commits
sion would be appointed and will di-
rect the affairs of the warehouse as
other public commissions carry on
the work allotted to them.
I'm the first place, we will have
| to convince the outside world that
the warehouse which we have plan
ned and which will make New Or
leans by far the greatest cotton
center in the world, is not a money
making enterprise. If company
were organized to build the structure
it would necessarily have to pay
dividend. No one would subscribe
on a philanthropic basis, and 1t
would have to be shown that profit
would accrue.
Therefore we would have TO
make a profit-making charge for
handling the cotton AS public
utility the charges would be min
| imized.. We would only want to
charge enough to pay the interest
on the bonds. the cost of mainten-
ance and certain reserve fund to pay
for wean and tear.
The ramifications Of the ware
house project which we have nlanned
are more potential, considerable and
numerous than that of any economi-
cal movement which has come to
my attention within the last decade.
1t would bring many millions OF
foreign capital here.
Now when the securities of To-
cal companies, no matter how SOL
vent they may be. are offered to
foreign capitalists. they do not know
anything about the standing of local
companies. Nor do they know any
] thing about the value Of cotton
receipt from any warehouse COM
pany. Of course the people of New
Orleans and the state know the
standing of local companies. but
this knowledge does not extend to
!all of the money ceAters. $500.
But when the public warehouse
Is built, the receipts will be as good
as gold and will be accepted as such
BY foreign fnanciers, as they will
have the guarantee OF the state on
1t. This will bring millions Of cap
ital here"

The enthusiasm developed at last
nights open meeting of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, and the compliments
paid to Los Angeles by + oresentatives

would come back for a session OF the
grand aerie.

of the order and their frienos to greet

Senator Grady captured his auditors

his compliments to California.

said. "and to each we replied that we

great harness event of the year, the
American trotting Derby, with a purse
of $4,000, will be held tomorrow on the
Readvile track in connection with the
second day of the grand circuit, with
conditions which make the event unique
in the history of horse racing in this
country
Forty-four horses, most Of them well
known, are entered for the event and
will compete. not upon equal terms. but
upon a system of handicaps. The
slowest horses will start from the
three-quarters of a mile post, or
quarter Of mile behind the wire, and
the fastest horses will start 800 feet IN
the rear, all the horses leaving their
marks at the sound of big bell from
practically standstill, instead OF scor-
ing side by side for the wire.
AS the field is believed to be too large
to send all away at the same time the
race will be decided with two pre-
liminary heats, with eight horses TO
qualify for the final, which will be held
late this afternoon. The heaviest hand
icapped horses are Sweet Marie and

NI HERE will be a meeting OF the
Valley league directors next FRI
II day night at McCormick's pool
room in the Lissner building on South
Spring street. which will be of great
importance, as the entry fees are due
then and the schedule is to be ratified.
Members OF the Chutes bali team
are requested to meet Manager Hahn
this afternoon at the Main street side
for little practice.
Talking about baseball the Boyle
Heights Sunday afternoon games can
not be beaten. While riding out to the
Athletic diamond last Sunday l saw al
least four different teams playing, not
taking into consideration the double-
header at Athletic park. The first
game which attracted my attention
was the Modern Woodmen of America
team and the Euclids on the latter's
field. A little farther, while the car
was hitting the high places on the
First street division, L passed another
game which was in progress, 1t being
between two Mexican clubs. Last,
but not least, out near the jewish
cemetery two junior clubs were fight
ing 1t out for diamond honors. TWO
young women who happened to be on
the same car and were talking base
streets remarked that "Los Angeles Is
baseball mad" Now, is not that the
truth, boys? One of the women hap
pened to look at her watch and re-
marked: "Say Florence, it is now 1880
and we will be late to see Tom pitch.'
q presume they referred to Tom Gray
son of the Athletics, as they went di-
rect to Athletic park. Instead OF
being %: 80" 1t was only "2:12," so they
saw Tom pitch almost the entire game,
although they were late to witness the
first.
Manager Pete Hansen of the Thistles
ball team is classed as the czar of the
Southern State league, as he holds
more important positions in that
league than the other five managers
together. In addition to being the press
agent, and a. good one at that, he Is
sergeant-at-arms and schedule maker.
If there were any more positions to be
filled no doubt Pete would be elected,
as he is there with the "hot air. and
has "Hen' Berry or FLAP" McCor-
mick beaten by seven city blocks.
The Thistles ball team will hold a
business meeting Wednesday night at
their headquarters at Twelfth and
Central, when important matters per-
tanning to the team will be discussed.
All members are requested to be pres
ent.
All managers of the Southern State
league are requested to be present at
the regular meeting tomorrow night at
the Democratic club, as matters of
great Importance will come before the
directors.
If there is any player on the Salt
Lake team that should be a great ia
vorite with the fans of this city it is
| Pitcher Frank Smith, who no doubt
will keep the team well to the front in
the Pacific league. Last Sunday he
started on the right road to winning
another pennant for the railroaders.
Frank Benkert of the Home Council
team says that next Sunday will end
the series Of the Independent league, as
he will throw the hooks into the Pendc

that has been going on for the past
three Sundays for the championship of
that league. DO not count your chick

ANSWER
ANNUAL ROLL CALL

Southern California's delegation to
the annual G. A. r. encampment at
Toledo, ohio, will depart today for the
east to fight the old battles over again
at the department camp1res.
Led by Col. Samuel Merrell OF Long
Beach, department commander of Cali
fornia. Nevada and Hawaii, and As
sistant Adjutant General j. M. Quinn
of Los Angeles, two coachloads of old
soldiers will make the long journey.
They expect to see the shores of Lake
Erie next Saturday, and to remain
there at least a week.
Adtutant Quinn said he has no in
formation as to what cities would try
to get the convention next year, but
he was inclined to think the pendulum
would swing toward the extreme east
In 1909. and the extreme west in 1000.
1T suppose eventually the annual
affairs win be held in Washington" he
said. '.The army is decreasing fast
because of the inroads Of age. and the
veterans are not able to travel as far
as they did years ago."
California has entertained the vete-
rams twice in q quarter of q century,
san Francisco being the host on both
occasions.
