WHY COTTON AND NOT WHEAT?
Democrat Inquiries into Consistency
of Department of Justice.

Washington, May 12.-The House
judiciary Committee last Wednesday
voted to report to the House the res
olution offered by Representative
Craig, (Democrat.} Of Alabama, ask
ing the Attorney General If any inves-
tigation or prosecution was ever be-
gun against any persons for Illegally
combining and conspiring to advance
the price OF wheat I'm the United
States in May and July, 1909.
The resolution is directed at ihe
"bull pool" maintained at that time
by James Pattcn, and was offered by
Mr.. Craig in connection with the in
quiry regarding the bulls and bears
in the New York and New Orleans
cotton markets.
The department Of justice having
announced that 1t was investigating
conspiracy Of "bulls" to raise the
price Of cotton, Mr.. Craig presented
a resolution inquiring If there was
not also bear" conspiracy to de-
press the price Of cotton. The cotton
rc>olution was favorably reported a
tcw days ago from the judiciary COM
mittee, but was adopted again to-
day in connection with the resolution
regarding the wheat pool. Both will
come up in the house in few days.
Attorney General Wickersham was
inaccessible to the press yesterday.
Subordinate officials Of the depart
mcnt Of justice said, however. there
had been no formal investigation BY
the government Of the whea. rool
maintained by Mr.. Patten. Hereto
fore when questioned about the Pat
ten pool, Mr. Wickersham made it
plain that the government did not in
tend to take it up at this late day.

(Greenville News, Nav 11D


A first mortgage covering $1o,-
100000 bond issue by the Southern
Power Company, of 20-year, 5-per-
cent gold bonds, Of the denomination
of $1,000 each, Is being filed in nifty
counties Of North and South Caro-
lima. The mortgage lien covers 1873
pages Of printed matter.
The mortgage Is given to the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company
incorporated in New York, and is
dated March 1, 1910, as to the bonds
issued.
1t is expressly stated that this,
mortgage IS to cover loan Of 3d.
100000, to be used by the Southern
Power Company Immediately, while
the remaining $7,000,00O bonds are
to be issued from time to time for
purposes OF extensions and improve
ments to the Southern Power Com
pany's vast system throughout the
Carolinas.
The mortgage is signed for the

and A. V. Hcely, secretary

The mortgage Of 1873 pages, as is
required by law, will be filed in every
county in which the Southern Power
Company operates or owns property,
or through which its transmission
lines have been constructed. Accord
ingly the mortgage will have to be
fled in probably fifty counties in the
States Of North and South Carolina.
AS the instrument is an unusually
large one, the cost Of having the
same filed will be a small fortune in
itself
Full Description of Property.
The mortgage filed here contains
complete description Of each OF
the plants OF the company, and Of its
various land holdings along the Ca
tawba river, Broad river and in other
sections, and thus constitutes a COM

by the company as 1t would be de-

Great Expansion Assured.
With the $3,000,00O for immc
diatc use and $7,0OO,O00 available

Company, it IS at once seen that the
company IS placed in position where
1t can, on short notice, draw upon
the trustee or holder OF the MORTGAGE
for almost unlimited sums Of money
to be used in developments.
with this amount Of money within
easy reach there Is scarcely any de-

GRAND LOIM;E ODD FELLOWS.
Convention Held in Spartanburg--
Officers for Ensuing Year.

Spartanburg. May I2.--The city
has been given up to the Odd Eel
lows this week, and they seem to
have the right name. for they arc
very odd in some respects. In the
first place, 1t IS a fine looking. manly
body Of mon, who know how to take
cai OF themselves at home and
abroad. Then they stick to their
business and waste no time I'm out
side attractions. When the hour for
work arrived there were no id!nrs on
the streets. If there had been a
thousand Of them present there
would have been no need Of an extra
policeman.
The Rchckas were the attractive
feature Of the convention. It was
very clear that they were not tackled
on for ornament. They were here to
learn and to work, and they mani
fcs.@d great interest in the charita-
BILE and educational enterprises Of the
order
AT their meeting yesterday there
were about 50 ladies present. Mrs.
Grace Eastern. of Georgetown, pre-
sided, and Miss Annie Hardin. Of Pei
zcr, was the secretary.
Raised 81, 100 for Orphanagc.
One OF the subjects for considera-
tion before the Grand Lodge was the
Odd Fellows Orphan Home at
Grcenvillc. It was established in
1904, and began work in 1905 with
hVe children. There are now forty
fonr in the home. They have a farm
OF 7? acres, with suitable buildings.
Thcir Indebtedness was only $I,5OO.
a voluntary contribution was taken
up and l.i0O raised. which virtu-
ally pays the debt and leaves the
home free from encumbrancc.
Although accommodations for a
large crowd are limited, many citi-
%cnS threw open their homes, and no
one lacked for a place to stay. Spar
tanburs people have enjoyed the con
Ncntion, and the only regret, now It
Is over, Is that they did not do more
FOR their visiting friends than was
done.

Lodge Of Odd Fellows ACCOMPLISHED

LETTER CARRIERS TO
Be SELECTED
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

East Chicago, Ind. Nov. Within the
next few days civil service examina-
tion for mail carriers to be taken on
for the distribution of mail on the free
delivery service will be held.
After that it will be only a matter
of a short while before the mail car
riers will be appointed and the free
service i-naugurated.
In the meantime boxes will be in
stalled at the street corners selected
by the inspector who visited east Chi
cage from Washington some months
ago.
The territory to be benefited by the
recent order from headquarters in
cludes what is known as East Chicago
proper and Oklahoma. Indiana Harbor
has had free delivery for the past two
years or more. At first 1T was not ex-
pected that Oklahoma would partici-
pate in the free delivery. as the side
walks were not in. but in the mean
time this has been remedied on several
of the principal streets and 1t is there
fore expected that this section will be
upplie with free delivery the same
as East Chicago.
F.. G. Proudfoot, is working a ire
mendous force of men putting in side
| walks and paving the work being rush
ed with all possible speed In order that
when the new order is put into effect
that the streets on which the work is
being done may be benefited. Carriers
! are not required by the government to
deliver mail on streets which are un-
provided with sidewalks.
Many ~householders already have
their mail boxes up and houses hereto
fore unnumbered, are being provided
with the necessary numerals. 1t is ex-
| pected that before the free delivery
service is ready to be put into effect,
the citizens and the city will nave done
their share in the way of preparation.

work. Being unsuccessful he returned
only to walk into the arms of the officers
who were waiting for him at the Colfax
avenue address.
The police are inclined to credit
may be some reaosn why Mishvreb is
assailant. on the other hand they say
that Mishvreb may be honest in his
alleged suspicious of Suravich as the
pair had had trouble. and it is quite
possible tina Mishvreb feeling that
Suravich had it in for him, was expect
ing trouble from that quarter and when
yesterday mornings shooting took
place. Immediately jumped to the con-
ciusion that it was this enemy who had
shot him.
1t appears that Mishvreb did not see
his assailant as he at first reported he
did, at least not sufficiently plain to
distinguish his features. He was carry
ing a lighted lamp in his hand as he
went to the door and as this dropped
when the shot took effect. the would
~be-murderer got away without Mishv-
reb recognizing him.
Mishvreb who is at St. Margaret's
hospital is to be confronted with Sura-
vich some time today if his condition
will permit. The bullet which entered
his neck has not been located. but DIT.
A. G. Schlieker performed an operation
uniting a cord which had been partly
severed by the bullet, and which hav-
ing been successful will most likely
save the patients life.
Surayich spent last night in the East
Chicago Jail and he will be detained
by the police until he can prove his
innocense of the charge brought
against him.

GARY DEMOCRATS
HAD A HARD TIME

The democrats of Gary last night
hold a meeting. Try as hard as they
could they could not secure a hal in
which to meet. and when they found
that this was impossible they decided
to hold several open air meetings.
The fun first started at the Garden
hail., where they tried to enter the hall
where a union meeting was in session.
Here they found that there was moth
ing doing, SO Mayor Knots. Chief Mar
ers, mostly members of the street
cleaning department. held an open air
meeting in front of the Garden hall.
Night Cold; Met With Frost.
But 1t was a cold night. The first
frost of the season and the meeting
was likewise a frost. Not content with
this. the small band of the faithful
colored republicans were holding a
large meeting. They crowded into the
hall and tried to take those assembled
with them, but here they met another
frost. The weather grew colder and
the mayor and chief and the head OF
the laundry trust in their fur caps put
on their earlaps and fur mittens and
decided to hold another open air meet
ing.
Placing a beer keg in the center of
the street a foreign-tongued sptaker
was placed thereon and he soon rent
the air with "Pratski democratski."

East Chicago, Nov. 4.-Considerable
mystery is developing out of the shoot
ing early yesterday morning of Daniel

was called from his bed by a rap on his
door and on appearing at the door was
met by a shot from a revolver which
struck him in the neck seriously
~wounding him.

LOCKED IN
HIS CLOSET
Especial to THE TIMEs)

East Chicago, Nov. 4.=While Albert
Given the Chicago avenue tailor and his
family were at breakfast this morning,
they were startled by yells which they
were at FIRST unable to locate.
The yells were accompanied by frantic
pounding, and listening intently Mr..
Given made out the somewhat smother
ed ejaculation Let me out. out out!'
The sounds seemed to be coming from
a closet in the hall of the Given fiat,
and Mr.. Given went to investigate.
On approaching the door to the closet,
there was no longer any doubt of
whence the muffled sounds were issu-
ing. There was a man in the closet
and he wanted to get out. But the
door was locked.
Mr.. Given believing that discretion
is the better part of valor. and anyhow
seeing no good reason why he should
release a man from a closet in his own
house, told the intruder to have pa
thence and he would shortly have the
entire police force to his re-
lease If that were necessary.
A pho call brought Sergeant
Leo Mccormick to the scene in haste
and h not knowing what manner Of
man he had to deal with, pulled his
gun before unlocking the closed portal.
When the latter was swung back. the
somewhat sheepish features of an in
dividual known to fame as Box Car
Dutch, the Exalted ruler of the Inde-
pendent Order of Buns. was revealed.
How did you get there, demanded the
sergeant putting up his gun after he
had recovered from his surprise.
"Cussed if 1 know" was the meek
rejoinder
The Owens it appears retired at
about II oclockand before doing so
went out into the hall to lock the closet
door as is their custom. Mr.. Given little
thought that as he did so, Box Car
Dutch was even then wrapped in the
arms of s1umber within that same
closet.
Dutch declares he was somewhat the
worse for liquor last night and he has
no recollection of having e%nsconced
himself in the closet. He says his first
intimation of his whereabouts was up
on awakening and even then he did not
realize where he was until released by
Sergeant Mccormick. He admitted
however that the closet was a swell
place to sleep in.
Dutch is not nknow to the police
It is his imperial custom, so it seems
TO follow the elections. Wherever the
fght is waged hottest, there is sure tc
be the most plentiful supply of free
beer. He reads the there
