Arbitrators Make Grades.

The actual application of differences to cotton delivered on contract in New Orleans is conducted by arbitrators, who examine samples of the cotton rendered. The prices Aquoted by the spot quotation committee, however, au- tomatically determine the differences for full grades rendered on contract; that Is, for cotton the samples of which exactly correspond to the. official ex- change types of any deliverable full grade the arbitrators apply the diff ferences shown by the official spo- quotations for the day preceding the issuance of notice of delivery. For cotton which exactly corresponds to types for halfway between those for the two adjacent full grades. For all other cotton including tinged and stained grades, the arbitrators estab fish differences on their own judgment using, however, as a guide the official spot quotations for the full grades and the officially quoted range of discounts for irregular grades.

the wharf at that point was badly DAM
aged last week by one of the big tugs OF
the navy yard running into 1t while on the
way from this city to the naval proving
grounds at Indian Head. Nd, with
a lighter on which was big gun in tow.
The accident occurred about dark and
during thick fog. The river channel
runs close to the pier at Glymont. and
the course up and down the river changes
almost abreast of the wharf. So far as
known the tug and barge escaped serious
damage but the wharf was badly torn.
and the steamboat men here are doubtful
if it can be used as landing place until
repairs are made.

Indianapolis. The news from
 Denver reached here Tuesday John Worth Kern, running mate with
 William J. Bryan on the democratic national ticket, was Tuesday officially | informed that four weeks ago he was selected to make the race for the vice presidency Kern accepted.
 But the Kern notification. despite the fact that it attracted 10 this city an outpouring from far and near. was but side light on the big show w J. Bryan was really the man in the limelight. He delivered the real speech of the day He delivered his second set speech of the campaign as a part of Tuesdays program and out lined the issues upon which he seeks to win the Middle West.
 The Kern notification took place at the State Fair Grounds, just outside of the city. Long before the hour set for the departure of the committee and it's guests, the headquarters of the demo- cratic organization was filled with prominent democrats from all sections of the United States. There was no set parade of marching clubs. neither was there any street demonstration in con nection with Tuesdays event.
 The big Coliseum on the Fair Grounds was well filed Seated on the platform were the members of the committee and distinguished guests from Indianapolis and surrounding cities
 By virtue of his position as na- tional committeeman from this state, Thomas Taggart, former chairman of the national committee, called the meeting to order. Rev Father Gavisk, pastor of St. Johns Catholic Church, delivered a short invocation, after which spectators and committees stood while the band played Amer ica.' Norman E. Mack. chairman of the national committee, was then in troduced by Taggart Mack declared that there was little doubt that the democratic party would be successful at the polls at the coming election. in- sisting that he had reasons to know that the public were aroused to the "misgovernment of the republican party"

EVIDENCE LACKING
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES MAY NOT
 PROSECUTE FITZGERAlD.
SAY EVIDENCE IS SLIGHT
State Judge Issues Warrant and Fine Legal Complications May
 Result

Chicago w. Fitzgerald. former assistant teller of the United States subtreasury here was arraigned Monday, charged with steal ing the $173.000 which disappeared from the subtreasury in February of last year, theft of which has baffled both the state and federal authorities. The warrant. which was served on Fitzgerald early Sunday morning, was issued by Judge Chetlain.
 The court announced that post ponement until next Monday had been agreed upon and that Fitzgerald would be released on $10,000 bond. This was furnished and the prisoner was set free.
 The federal authorities declare they have watched Fitzgerald since the dis appearance of the money. and that there is little evidence of a convict ing character against him. Capt. Por. ter of the United States secret service says he will have nothing to do with the proceedings against Fitzgerald. As the state judge under the United States statutes must turn over the prisoner to the federal courts if he finds probable evidence that a crime has been committed, fine legal tangles appear possible.
