a cent lower in price than the South
Texas staple. The cotton was ship
ped by former Texan and it may
mean the opening of great new cot

Robin Cooper's Bond Is
Reduced To $4,000 By
State Supreme Court

Nashville, April 1.-THE bond for
the next term of the criminal court
to answer an indictment charging the
murder of former United States Senator
e. w. Carmack. was today fixed at
$4,000 by the state supreme court,
following the action of that tribunal
yesterday reversing the verdict of the
lower court which had sentenced the
young man and his father to 20 years in
the penitentiary for the murder of
Carmack. Pending the action of the
supreme court yesterday on the ap-
peal Colonel Cooper and his son were
at liberty on bonds of s25,0G0 each. The
bond for the sons appearance is thus
reduced to $4,000.
According to Attorney General Nc
earn, the case will be placed on the
docket of the Davidson county court
and will come up at the next term
in May.
Governor Patterson. whose pardon OF

after the supreme court had affirmed
the sentence of 20 years in the peni-
tentiary, caused considerable of SEN

today, except to say that the pardon
spoke for itself. The governor has
received about $50 kilograms from his
friends indorsing his action.
While the events of yesterday were
still the chief topic of conversation
today, there was no gathering of groups
anywhere to discuss the matter and
there is no ground whatever for, sew

gained currency.

ment on the streets and public places
until late last night, there has at no time
been any indication of approaching dis

SHRINERS WIND UP
LIVELY CONCLAVE

New Orleans, April 14-With a page
ant similar to the New Orleans Mardi
Gras parades and ball in the old French
opera house in Bourbon street, the an
nual conclave of the Mystic Shriners In
this city was brought to close tonight.
The day was given over to masquerades
in which many of the visitors took part
While several of the visiting temples will
leave on their special trains early tomor-
row morning, some will remain until to-
morrow night Several temples have char
tered schooners and will spend tomorrow
In the gulf in hope of catching some
sharks. Several other temples have ex-
pressed a, desire to put in one day fishing
on the coast.
The battleship Wisconsin, which has
been tied up to one of the city wharves
during the Shriners conclave, proved one
of the features of the occasion, several
thousand members of the order, principal
ly from the middle west, making an in
spection of the big man-of-war. The bat
tleship will leave for New York Satur-
day.
The Memphis delegation led one of their
camels into the ST. Charles hotel today,

Kitchener OF Khdrtoun
Loosens Up His Tongue
For a Chicago Reporter

Chicago, April 14-Lord Kitchener of
Khartoum became Kitchener of Chicago
for exactly one hour and thirty minutes
today. The taciturnity usually ascribed
to him was not in evidence. it is said,
and he surrendered gracefully to a sur
prise attack by a reporter who boarded
the train on the outskirts of the city.
Lord Kitchener asked and answered
questions with good humor in them. On
rilitarism he spoke guardedly, saying:
"One must be careful when a thought
less word might be wrongfully taken and
to mean something one did not intend it
to-.
II see no reason why international

SENATOR BURTON
CONDEMNS WORK

Washington, April 14-CSpecial.) )-Sena-
tor Burton of Ohio has submitted a mi
nority report from the commerce COM
mittee in which he objects vigorously to
many features of the rivers and harbors
bill. He does not like the plan for the
Improvement of Mobile harbor, and has
this to say regarding that work:
The provision of the bill which pro-
vides for the adoption of the new project
for improving the harbor at Mobile, Ala,
contains the following amendment:
Provided further. that no part of
the appropriation shall be expended for
the construction of dredges.
The engineering department in recon-
mending the adoption of this project, es-
timated the cost, including the construc-
ton Of two government dredges, at 81 2,049.
S93 80, if the work was done by the gov
ernment and that If it were done by
contract the cost would be 81, 7s7.''
In another reference to Alabama wa
terways Senator Burton says:
IAN illustration of the large expendl-
ture for locks and dams without ade-
quate result may be found in the case
of the Muscle Shoals canal a lateral
canal beside the Tennessee river. This
canal is divided into two sections or di-
visions; one on the left bank, 35 miles
long, with two locks, and the other on
the right bank, 14.5 miles long, with nine
locks. A survey was made for these
under a project adopted in 1868, and the
canal was finished between the years 1876
and 1890. at a cost of s3,191, 1850 There
has been expended upon this section for
maintenance and repairs since the COM
pletion of the canal. the sum of 81, %,
SSS.26. The sums making up this last
amount have been paid out of the treas
ury without specific appropriation by
Congress under the act of July 5, 1884
The cost of maintenance during the year
ending June 80 1909 was s53, Sc. The
quantity of freight carried through this
canal In the year 1908 was 1859 tons,
including all classes of freight The
maximum annual amount carried through
the canal in the last ten years was 26,S7s
tons in 1906 and the minimum amount
7712 tons in 1902.
1T thus appears that the mere expense
for repairs and maintenance for the last
year was more than 81 for every ton
of freight carried, and If interest were
computed on the cost at per cent.
an additional total of $3.50 per ton should
be added, making $11 so for every ton of
freight carried through this canal

Panama canal has come into the list now
as a new factor. The nation whose food
supply is cramped is restless and irrit-
able. 1t wants to expand. 1t wants
what the other fellow has. 1t was a COM
fort to my heart as a peace loving man TO
see broad acres of food-producing land
in this country and to hear that Canada
could duplicate it.
THE Panama canal was the best move
America ever made. 1t will bring the
south and the east closer together with
the west, and will be a big factor not
alone in commerce, but in the country s
military future.
The general characterized the political
aspect of the Pacific ocean as hard
question to answer.
'I wish to know what the future would
bring forth for the Pacific" he said. And
1t is gratifying to us that the canal is
being built at Panama, as it helps to sim
plify matters. But only by the move
ment of nations in the future can we tell
what part the Pacific will take in his
tory"
MY idea of the army and navy of the
future" he continued lis that the navy
must be of the first consideration. Either
in offense or defense the navy must take
the. Initiative like Mr.. Hobson says, but
nation who depends upon its army cam
not whip the enemy
The general said his whole view of the
future was international peace.
Even with an international agreement
for peace" he concluded, must physical
force exist to punish offenders"
After a brief ride about the city as the
guest of Gen. Frederick Grant, Lord
Kitchner left for New York. where he
expects to meet his brother, Gen. Freder-
ick Walter Kitchner, governor of Ber-
muda, soon.

ROOSEVELT ENJOYS
VISIT TO VENICE

Venice, April 14-Former President
Roosevelt and his son, Kermit, visited
many places of interest today. The Duke
of Abruzzi, in command of the naval ar

nearly an hour with him. They talked of
their recent experiences in Africa and
the Himalaya mountain climbs, and
touched upon the subject of Arctic ex

same roof as the former President of the

soto voce declared it in the breakfast

Mr.. Roosevelt was frequently recognized
