Nev Orleans Cotton Exchange
 Head AnsUers Certain Charges

New Orleans, Dec. D. Especial )---A statement has been issued by Presi- dent ". B. Thompson of the New or leans Cotton Exchange. taking excep- tions to certain statements published from Washington in connection with the report of Commissioner of corpor- ations Herbert Kpox Smith. It ts declared that the report does
 not condemn future trading as such. nor as it is conducted on the New Or leans Cotton Exchange. That the New
 York system of fixed" differences is condemned. and that the New Orleans
 system of commercial differences" is not condemned, is one of the principal allegations of President Thompson's statement. Mir. Thompson protested against the Associated Press statement. sent from
 Washington, which was the introduce
 ton to the report of Commissioners
 smith, as follows:
 Tn your telegram from Washington.
 published In the morning newspapers, 1t Is stated that parts and Of the report of the Commissioner of Corpor- ations. Herbert Knox Smith. say: "1. That both producers of cotton and dealers in that commodity are vic- tims Of the system of trading In vogue on the cotton exchanges of the country.
 
 futures as It Is carried on at present is condemned, the report branding this form of speculation as pure gambling and highly injurious to legitimate trade.
 "'s. That in quotations for future deliveries of cotton the market Is so uncertain and so many elements of chance enter into the transaction that all bids are made at a much lower fig- . her nT ally In existence.
 "4. That the report says the ef- feet of these fictitious quotations tends to misiead the cotton planter as to the true value of his crop honestly grown. "All of this you say Is due to the methods in vogue in the exchanges of the country. which statement necessar- fly includes the New orleans Cotton Exchange
 We must and do protest against the findings of your Washington corre- spondent against the New orleans cot- ton Exchange. and we claim that they are his findings only and not those of the Bureau of Corporations or Mir. Her. bert Knox Smith.
 "sased upon the report Itself as you give 1t:
 "First--rt neither says, nor does 1t | Intend to say. that producers and deal- CTS in cotton are victims of the system in vogue in the New Orleans Cotton | Exchange.
 .second---It does not condemn the practice of dealing in futures In the
 New Orleans Cotton Exchange. It does not brand the New Orleans Cotton Ex- l change future business as pure ganib- | ling nor does 1t say that the New Or
 leans bushes Is highly injurious to legitimate trade.

MORMONS TO SEE FIGHT
"TExs RICHARD TALKS or JEFF
 rRIEs-JOHNsON BOUT.
Deelares That Mfli wiu De HeIa Ia Salt Lake City and That Talk
 of AFalxes ls roolish.

Boston, Dec. 9.--"The Jeffries-J John- son bout will be held in Salt Lake City and 1t will be no fake" was Tex Richards declaration here to- day.
 T am sick of this fake talk' said Rickard. 'and I will give any one s. 900 If they will show me anything crooked in the arrangements.
 T knew days before bids were op- eneJ that Johnston would stand by me and that Jeffries would be with Jack Gleason so we got together and talked the matter over and came to an understanding. cohroth told GIea- son to go ahead and come in with me
 That let Coffroth out Of the whole affair and want the public to know he has nothing to do with 1t.
 T will not have to fix any official in Salt Lake in order to pull the bout of there. The bankers. brokers and business men of the city want me te hold it there and have given me all the assurance necessary that it vii not be interfered with. The Salt Lake palace where the bout will be held will. with some alterations hold about s30.O00 people,"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-12-10

1 "Third-It does not say of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange that quota tions for future deliveries are SO un- certain that all bids are made at much lower prices than those offered for ae- tuai cotton.
 "Fourth--It does not say that quota tions of the New Orleans Cotton Ex- change misled cotton planters as to the true value of their crops honestly grown.
 What Report Dees Say.
 what the Commissioner of Corpor- ations, MT Herbert Knox Smith. does say in the report which your Washing ton correspondent has incorrectly sum- marized, Is that the troubles above quoted are due to the New fork sys- tenn of fixed differences which he con- demned in previous parts of his re- port. and which that exchange per- sists in maintaining.
 "The Commissioner of Corporations also says that the New orleans system, which Is based on the actual price or cotton of all grades and at all times. is the proper system.
 Tn brief. the report is stinging condemnation of the system Of hxe6 differences and shows that the evils of future trading, which 1t emphasizes. proceed therefrom. On the other hand 1t comments the system of commercial differences' as practiced by the New Orleans oCtton Exchange and special ly commends that institution in the fol- lowing words:
 "The New orleans Cotton Exchange with its system of commercial dfner- ences based on the natural law of sup ply and demand. has largely avoided such evils.'
 .sThe report does not condemn future trading, as such. nar as 1t is conducted on the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, but 1t does condemn it when conducted upon uneconomic and ineauitabie prin- ciples.
 wise, your Washington correspondent has not only misauoted MT. Herbert Knox smith. but has unwittinsiy. we trust, threatened the New Orleans mar ket with undeseryed Injury.
 'Tt is a fact known to the cotton trade of the entire world that Commits sioner Herbert Knox Smith and some of his abiest assistants conferred per- sonaliy with the members and cfheials of this exchange. and wes after Full discussion. accepted fully and without hesitation, the suggestions and recom- menda tions of Commissioner Smith. and further that the rules and regulations of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange now represent the views of Commits sioner Smith as to how the future con- tract business should be conducted. Tn justice to the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange. we earnestly ask that you give this communication the sama publicity that was given the state msnts to which .y ws 9s'sss. 2 Tssmn,o,.

New York. Deo- e--W. Gould Bro- kaw's teIegraphic admonition to his wife to be careful whom she kissed crimsoned her checks and brought tears to her eyes today as 1t was read in the Supreme Court at Mineoia, l. I.
 Yet this telegram wal introduced by her counsel in an attempt to show the young milIionaire's insane 5eai- ousy and unrsasonableness as Justi- flying the separation for which Mrs. Brokaw is suing with sso,oo0 a year aiimony. This wss the second day of the trial.
 !. The telegram read as follows:
 You know what told you about kissing the doctor. When he attempts to kiss you again tell him what you know if he kisses you, should not want to kiss you again"
 Mrs. Brokaw hung her head as the message was read and blushed furi- ousiy. By agreement the name of the doctor was not read in court.
 Previously In her testimony. Mrs. Brokaw told of . luncheon at which a Doctor Chapman was a guest and which her husband, she testified. had interrupted. and made scene. accus- ing her of wsnting to elope with the

 Telegrarns and letters between hus- band and wife, as introduced by Mrs. Brokaw's counsel, occupied a prom inent part of today's session. The en- tire bundle represented about s1o,0oo in telegraph tolls, 1t was estimated. The defendants lawyer volunteered the explanation that Mir.
