THE MAKING OF SOAP.
Immense Output Of Big Plants.
Work Largely Done by Machinery.

From the Baltimore American.
Cincinnati used to be named Pork
opolis. but today it might be more aptly
styled Soapopolis,'' said Walter G..
Bouche. Il do not suppose there Is a city
in America or in the world that can vie
with Cincinnati in the annual output of
soap.
Its supremacy is attested by the large
number Of enormous plants devoted to
that Industry. My concern, which Is the
third largest, has an equipment covering
twenty-five acres, seven huge buildings
and miles OF underground tunnels. These
tunnels are not mere trenches for pipes
but are seven feet high and gangs of
workmen move through them constantly.
The output of this plant is 5.OO,OOO
pounds of soap each month, while the
largest factory in the United States has
a monthly output of at least 100000
pounds. Big as these concerns are, they
do not need the services of any vast force
of Iaborers, for the reason that the work

girls at machines will do the work it took
200 girls years ago before modern de-
vices for wrapping and boxing were in
troduced.
THE common soaps are largely made
from what is known as cotton foots,' a
fatty resduum left after the Oil has been
squeezed from the cottonSeed. The fatty
refuse of the slaughter houses is also
greatly used. Cocoanut oil, and even
olive oil, is the base of the fine soaps.
There is no soap trust or combine. but
many of the smaller producers have gone
out of business because they couldn't

years had prot is as good as a gold mine,
it being the rule for them to make from

ing at GERS pound, a top notch price,
they are making not over 40 cents a
box. The reason is in the rise of ma
terials The fat and cotton foots they
once got for a song are now scarce and

MEMBERS OF CABINET
OF SPAIN ALL RESIGN
King Alfonso Is Consulting Leading
Politicians in Regard to
Trying Situation.

MADRID, February a.-The cabinet
which was organized on October p, with
Senior Moret Prendergast as premier,
has resigned. King Alfonso Is consulting
leading politicians in regard to the situa-
ton. 1t is probable that Senior Moret
will remain In Office.
Senior Moret, the liberal leader, achieved
the downfall Of the cabinet headed by
Senior Maura late in October after the
disasters to Spanish arms in Morocco and
the demonstrations which followed the
execution of Prof. Ferrer. He formed a
cabinet of moderate liberals and, in adj
dition to the premiership, assumed the
office of minister of the interior. The
downfall of the cabinet was brought
about indirectly by a statement made by
Senior Moret in the chamber that Senior
de la Cierva, a member Of the Maura
cabinet. had been issuing misleading
statements to the press. De la Cierva
Immediately rendered his resignation, but
Maura refused to accept It, The follow
ing day Maura rendered the resignation
Of the ministry.
Moret has been in trouble ever since
the formation OF the new ministry, and
only recently the government frustrated
plot which has been formed by friends
OF de la Cierva, which involved officers
Of the army and navy.

DENOUNCE COTTON DEALS
REPRESENTATIVE GROWERS
ADVOCATE LEGISLATION.
Hearing Before House Committee.
Exchange Men to Have
Chance Later.

The House committee on agriculture
held the first hearing today on the bill
to prohibit deals on cotton futures.
Sam T. Hubbard, president of the New
York Cotton Exchange, and Arthur L.
Marsh, also of that organization, were
present to protest against the passage of
this bill, which is backed by the cotton
growers. Representatives of the Farmers
Union were the only witnesses. however.
The cotton exchange men will appear this
afternoon or tomorrow.
A delegation representing the New York
Cotton Exchange called at the White
House at 1 o'clock this afternoon to
make its protest directly to President
Taft with respect to this prohibiting leg
islation affecting cotton futures.
The Farmers Union representative
who did most Of the talking at today's
session was T. J. Brooks of Tennessee,
who declared that twenty mine states are
interested in legislation prohibiting deal
ing in futures. No particular bill was
indorsed by the Farmers Union. he said
All that the union wanted was legtsla-
ton prohibiting dealing in cotton futures
1t didn't care what particular measure
was used to accomplish this purpose.
In discussing the New York Cotton Ex-
change the Farmers Union spokesman
characterized the dealers on the exchange
as "hedgers and spectators" and pointed
out that while the exchange Is a corpo-
ration, yet 1t does not publish a state
ment of it's affairs, as other corporations
are required to do.
He insisted that the cotton producers OF
the country, as a result of manipulation
of the cotton market by spectators. not
only had to bear the losses following a
slump, but that people throughout the
world were forced to pay increased prices
for cotton goods when the market was
pushed up to a high level
THE cotton planters want equity" Mr..
Brooks declared, land will take their
chances on what may follow the abo-
llition Of futures.
