PLANS COTTON DEALS
NEW ORLEANS MAN ANNOUNCES
 HIS SCHEME.
.Advises Farmers te Dispose of Crop at Ten Ter Cent . Month-- Would Create Stable
 Market,

New Orleans. Sept. 1i.--w. B.. Thomuson, President of the New Or- leans Cotton Exchange. and head of the cotton firm; of W. B. Thompson C Co. of this city, has issued circular letter to farmers. wherein he offers . new plan for the marketing of the cotton crop. He urges farmers to market their crops at the rate of 10 per cent month. According to MT :. Thompson. this would create a stable market for both buyer and seller.
 Mir. Thompson says:
 "Let the producer of cotton market 10 per cent of his crop each month for ten months. An instant of reelection will convince any thoughtful man that, whether the crops marketed be large or small and whether hundred plant ters or a hundred thousand employ the method, the result will be better than if the crop was sold at once or the at tempt made to hold 1t all. Tn the plan is good for one planter, 1t Is good for all. and if all. or any great num- ber of planters adopted 1t the prob lem of marketing the crop Is solid."
 MT. Thompson says that the farmers are in a better position to carry out this plan this year than they have ever been before. for the reason that they secured less in the way of ad- vances and provided their own neces- stiles of life to greater extent than previously. m

Beverly, Mass. Sept il.--Beveriy was crowded as never before this aft ernoon when President Taft. from q stand erected in front of the city hall. reviewed parade of some 1.600 Grand Army men belonging to posts in this vicinity. The crowd centered about the reviewing stand. and at one time became unmanageable.
 Secret service men accompanying the president finally took a hand in affairs. and besides rescuing a number of women and children from the crush helped to get passage way open. The Grand Army squeezed through the crowd two abreast for a time and finally there was sufficient room for lines of four to pass the presidents stand. c$
 When the last of the veterans had passed. there was Q second rush about the presidents stand in anticipation that a speech was to follow. The president. however. bowed his way out and departed amidst enthusiasm.
 In addition to reviewing the Grand Army and announcing the selection of the new tarfff couinaissiofi today, Prssa ident Taft contributed slOo to the building fund of the protected new F. N. q. A.ssin Beverly. The psesident's eontfibution was the first received

 The value of the gems stolen amounts to about SI00.000. yet the police refuse to make known the name of the per- son robbed. They admit. however. that they are on the track of the man or men who stole jewelry and precious stones to the total of sl00,000.

Thus far the Arden telegraph office has received more than 400 messages expressing coincidence. Messages from Mrs. Nicholas Long, worth. J. P. Morgan. Thomas Ryan and Charles P.

 Prepared for Death.
 Arden. N. Y. Sept. 11.-one of the last men to talk with Edward H. Har- riman before his relapse of last Sun day that ended in his death was ]. P. Morgan.
 The hnancier came to Arden House Thursday of last week when the en- couraging improvement noted in MT. Harriman's condition was at it's height. and in spite of his bodily weakness the head of the Union Pa ciflc system was as well fitted to dis cuss business as at any time in his life.
 For nearly two hours the two lead CTS of American finance sat on the porch in the sun. It Is believed that at this conference plans were laid to support the financial market in the event of MT. Harriman's death or in ease his health forced him to abandon all business activity.
 Mir. Morgan's country estate on the west bank of the Hudson joins that of MT. Hartman.
 When this conference occurred, MT. Hartman knew he was a dying man, although he kept this information from his family and steadily encour- aged their belief that he would get well. No one saw more clearly than MT, Hartman what would probably happen when he died. For the sake of thousands of railroad stockholders as well as for his own interests he knew that unless the strongest money power in the country got under' the market. the enrect of his death would be disastrous.
 This, without doubt. was why he called In MT. Morgan.

DANES. COOKS FRIENDS.
Express Implicit Belief in ExpIorer's
 Story.

Express Implicit Belief in ExpIorer,s story.
 Copenhagen. Sept. 11-Denmark ap- parently remains faithful in support ing pr. Cook. All the Copenhagen newspapers today reiterate their beIief In him. Sentiment doubtless is a fact or in this feeling, the Danes being proud that the explorer visited their country first.
 Moreover. there is a noticeable pre- judice against Commander Peary, on account of reports from the Danish colony in Greenland of his treatment of the Eskimos. the allegations by Cap tain Ito Sverdrup's friends that Peary treated Sverdrup shabbiiy when the two expeditions met in the Arctic. With regard to the alleged fIl-treat- ment of the Eskimos. 1t has not been possible to secure any definite specin- cations here, supporting this ctory. Only assertions are made that such a belief Is current in Greenland.
 Today's newspaper discussion brings to light only one new fact. The Lon don Daily Chronicle. which is at- tempting to prove Dr. Cook an impos- itor. published -Rn interview which its correspondent here had with Mrs. Ras- mussen. in which she is quoted as say ing that her husband informed her by letter that his talks with the Eskimos caused him to doubt Dr. Cooks story. The interpreter who translated Mrs. Rasmussen's words for The Chronicle correspondent has sent a letter to the paper expressing regret that his im- perfect knowledge of English caused him to represent Mrs. Rasmussen az saying exactly the opposite of what she said.
 London newspapers have been re- ceived here containing reports of Dr. Cooks talk when he submitted him. self soon after he landed at Copen, hagen for exa1ination by the corres- pohdents. These reports are full of inaccuracies. because several of the correspondents relied entirely upon their memories. A comparison of the accounts makes 1t appear as though Dr. Cook uttered contradictions which he did not.
 Director RyberR head of the Cream land administration, was asked today if pr. Cook was In earnest in his at- tempts to send a ship after his Eskimo companions. He replied:
 "Dr. Cook has asked us to do ev. erything in our power to send out a shin for that purpose. I advised him that 1t would be useless and foolish to send an expedition this season."

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES PERSON.
 MEL OF COMMISSION.
Board of Experts Composed of Edu- cator, Ffnancier and Editor VIII Investigate Foreign
 and Domestic Rates.

Beverly. Mass. Sept. 11.--President Taft this afternoon announced the ap. pofntment of the new national tarin commission as follows:
 Professor Henry c. Emery. of Yale. chairman: James B. Reynolds, of Bos- ton, assistant secretary of the treas- ury; Alvin H. Sanders, of Chicago. edi- tor and publisher of The Breeders Gazette.
 The new tariff commission, or board is to assist President Taft in the exc cution of tho new tarin law with especial reference to applying the maximum and minimum clauses to na- tions which are unfriendiy or friend Fly in their tariff relations with the United States.
 In announcing the selection of the board. authorized by the Payne tariff bill. the following statement was giv- en out at the executive offices to- night: the Treasury have agreed upon the plan that these gentlemen are to con- 'stitute the board and are to be given authority to employ such special ex- perts as may be needed in the investi- gation of the foreign and domestic tarift."
 The announcement followed . con- ference this afternoon between the President and Secretary Mcveagh.
 Mir. Taft had left entirely in the hands of the secretary the selection of the new commission and today ap- proved the men recommended by MT. Mcveagh.
 It had been a question until today as to whether the new board should consist of three or five members. It finally was agreed. however, that the smaller number, assisted by such ex- perts as they deemed necessary. would act more quickly than the larger num- ber and with equal effectiveness.
 There has been much discussion ever since the passage of the Payne bill as mission shall have.
 As the measure left the House of Representatives. 1t provided that the commission or board of experts should advise both the President and. Con- gress on technical questions about the tariff.
 The Senate did not approve of this broad authority and amended the pro- vision for the appointment of the board SO as to prescribe that the du- ties should be limited to assisting the President in the administration of the section relating to minimum and maximum rates.
 At the time or the tarim ftght Tn washington. the President indicated to callers at the White House that he did not look with any great concern upon the Limitations imposed by thu Senate and left the impression tha l he felt that the commission would b, able to do all that the framers of tn, measure originally Intended and al that the chief executive could hop for.
 rk c. .afataS tn thta non. nection that when the Presi. dent was once asked whether he preferred the name 'tariff commis. sion or foreign tariff board" he re- piled with smile:
 T have no particular choice. You know that rose by any other name
 No announcement was made as to what salaries the three commission CTS are to receive. Congress appro- priated s75,000 to cover salaries and the expense of the campaign of the commission.
