COTTON EXCHANGE
REGULATESFU FUTURES
RULES ARE ADOPTED AT NEW
ORLEANS THAT WILL SECURE
TO THE TRADER FAIR TREAT.
MENT.

NEW. ORLEANS, April 24.-Pressdent
William B. Thompson makes the follow
ing statement of the bearing and scope
of the new rules of the New Orleans
Cotton exchange in relation to cotton fu-
ture contracts:
THE New Orleans Cotton exchange has
recently adopted certain changes In the
future contract and in the rules govern
ing deliveries under the same. These
changes. not only in the opinion OF the
members of the exchange, but in the
impartial and critical judgment of the
commissioner of corporations Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor Of the
federal government, will secure to the
trader fair treatment and satisfactory
results, and to both the cotton producer
and the manufacturer the great benefits
of just and. uniform system OF future
trading. - &c - 9i---7 ~
The cardinal significance OF the
changes lies in the public acknowledg-
ment by the exchange of its obligation
TO the public or that part of the public
which trades through the exchange. or
to those whose interests are affected by
the trading carried on under its rules.
Corporate arrogance and disregard OF
the interests and rights of others not
stockholders or members of the scorpor-
alton, is not only wrong in point of bus
ness morals, but unwise in point of bus
mess policy The cotton exchange viii
lingIy acknowledges its obligation 70
the producer of cotton to so use its
power that the producer may realize the
full value of his product; II recognizes
its obligation to the manufactures to
lend its aid to the bringing about Of
stable and uniform market conditions
TO the end that he may conduct his bus
mess with profit to himself and to
the advantage of the consumers OF his
product; it recognizes its obligation to all
traders to secure, In so far as lies with
in its power. a fair just and equitable
market for buyer and seller alike: It
recognizes that 1t has no interest that is
in opposition to the best interests Of
the cotton trade at large, but that II
VIM thrive and prosper only in so far
as 1t fulfills its proper function and dis
charges its duty and obligation TO the
cotton trader and finally, In order that
# may so perform it's proper function
and so discharge its duty and obliga-
ton, il takes counsel of all who. by
reason Of interest or experience CT the
past, are entitled or qualified TO point
out the mistakes Of the past and to adj
wise present and future betterment, and
upon such criticism and advice 1t bases
its conclusions and formulates its plans"
It is proposed to provide for an expert
and disinterested board of classers to

IF YOU WISH REPORT,
FORWARD THE STAMPS

If you want a copy of the 1905 annual
report of the treasurer OF Georgia, you
can get il at the offices of the treasury
in the capitol or you can send 70 cents TO
that office to cover mailing charges, OF
you can ask that it be sent by express
collect.
But if YOU wait for II to be mailed to
you, you won't get it, for Treasurer
Park is already $500 in the hole on post
age, for reports mailed out during 1905
for the preceding year, and he don't in
tend to go any deeper. o.
Treasurer Park i'm his annual report t.
Governor Smith, published recently, re-
fered to the $500 which he had spent out
of his own pocket for the states passage
on treasury and bank reports, the state
bank bureau not having sufficient funds
to cover it, And I again respectfully re-
quest this often mentioned warrant" he
said land trust that it will be agreea-
BILE to send 1t without further delay
But Governor Smith, though he read
the report with much interest, did not
send the warrant. Instead, a couple OF
days ago he sent a brief reply to Treas
urer Park, advising him that notwith-
standing the attorney generals opinion
referred to by Treasurer Park as author
izing the payment of the postage from
the states contingent fund, IL couldn't
be paid from that fund on his warrant;
that the state bank bureau, in other
words, should stand on its own bottom
and pay its own expenses. The governor
suggested that the treasurer pay his ex-
penses first and his salaries afterward
out of what might be left.
That was small satisfaction to Treas
urer Park, apparently. He wanted the
state to give back to him 1920 that he
had spent But he took steps to see that
no further hole should be made in his
Individual pocket. That's why his annu-
al report for 1908 stays in the office till
those VIII want 1t come for 1t or send
and get it.

BEACH HARGIS TELLS
STORY OF TRAGEDY

IRVINE, KY, April 24-when court
convened today Beach Hargis resumed
the stand to give details of the difficulty
in which his father was killed. The court
held that evidence of former difficulties
between father and son may be given
but not as to detail This will shorten
testimony of the defense.
The object of detailing former diff
culties is to show that young Hargis
was brutally treated by his father and
that on one occasion the father tried to
kill him anu nearly succeeded, according
to the defense.

NOVELIST BRADENBERG
TELLS OF HIS DOUBLE LIFE
AS HE FLED FROM POLICE

last night as a fugitive from justice in
New York on charge of larceny in con-
nection with a political. article claimed
to have been written by the late Grover
Cleveland, declares that he Is the "Drey-
fus of America" and has been made
the ''scapegoat of politics"
Shortly before the election last year he
sold the Cleveland article to the New
York Times, which published it after F.
II. Hastings. Cleveland's executor, had
pronounced the signature genuine. Later
Hastings declared the letter was a for
gerry and Brandenberg was indicted on
two counts, one for forgery and one for
larceny.
The forgery charge was dropped and
Brandenberg was released on $500 bail
to. appear February ! for trial on the
other charge. He failed to appear when
the case was called and the police of the
entire country have been searching for
him ever since.
With the writer when he was arrested
at a local hotel was his step-son, James
Cabanne. of st. Louis.
Brandenberg had registered as d. W.
L. Leonard of London, and after having
been taken into custody explained that
this was a family name under which
he had been travelling for several months
all over the United States.
orkinE on scheme
He claims that he has been working
on a great industrial scheme and that
had he not been interfered with here he
would have realized $4,000 within the
next year and returned to New York to
face his accusers
Discussing the allegation that he FAX
ed the Cleveland article, which criti-
cised w. j. Bryan and lauded President
Taft, he said:
The fact that the sentiments ex-
pressed were those of Mr.. Cleveland has
oeen proved by private correspondence
which the former president had with
other friends He often wrote for nav
while he was president of the advisory
board of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. and it was in his office that I
met him and talked about the articles.
IL was there also that 1 received the
article from him.
