COTTON FUTURES PROBE
/" GROWS IN ITS SCOPE
New Orleans Exchange and Ma
tional Changers Want to Be
Heard.

The congressional inquiry into the
question of abolishing speculations in
cotton futures and other options IS
spreading Today the House committee
on agriculture, which is conducting the
investigation, continued the hearing Of
arguments of representatives of the lead
ing grain exchanges of the country in
opposition to the pending measures, par
ticularly the Scott bill, which is de-
signed to eliminate all transactions
where there is no intent to deliver.
There are two differing elements in the
New York Cotton Exchange, one of
which has already been represented by
Vice President Marsh, George w. Neville
and others who are unalterably opposed
to the proposed legislation. The other
element, which will be heard by the COM
mittee next week, is understood to favor
changes in the present methods Of the
exchange and to have views radically
divergent from those already presented.
Then the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
whose operations frequently have been
referred to during the hearings, has given
present. Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smith of the bureau of corporations,
whose report on the cotton exchange at
New York has been bitterly assailed by
representatives of that body, will be in
vhed to appear personally or by repre-
sentatives to meet the attacks

DISTRICT MONEY BILL
IN CONFERENCE MONDAY
Senator Foster to Act in Place OF
Senator Tillman, Who Is
Seriously Ill.

The District appropriation bill Will De
considered in conference by representa-
tiyes of the Senate and House Monday
morning Some of the conferrees nave
been out of the city and that has delayed
the holding of the conference for several
weeks.
Senator Foster will act in the place OF
Senator TiIlman on the conference COM
mittee Senator Tillman's serious illness,
it is expected, will prevent any participa-
ton by him in his duties in the Senate
for many months, and therefore it was
thought best to select another democrat.
Two appropr.a ton bills We're considered
by Senate committees today. The rivers
and harbors bill. which passed the House
several days ago. was taken up by the
committee on commerce. The time was
taken up with the reading of the bill and
no definite amendments were determined
upon.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was be-
fore the Senate committee on agriculture
and forestry in connect on with the agrt-
cultural appropriation bill.

PLAN COSTLY
COMMISSIONERS UNWILLING TO
STAND BY EXPENSE.
Would Have System Inaugurated on
q Less Pretentious Basis Than
Proposed $11, 800 Estimate.

The bill to establish a probation and
parole system I'm the District of Column
bia will meet with the approval Of the
Commissioners. The board does not
believe, however, that the District should
be saddled just at present with an cx-
pense of s11,920 to pay employees to
carry out the law. - :
Commissioner Ru1nlph said this aft
ernoon that he believes probation
and parole system, whereby first Offend
ers may be given q chance to "make
good" without going to jail, is a good
thing. Other cities are adopting Ii, he
said. and the District OF Columbia woult
seem likely to benefit by 1t.
The bill establishes a probation com
mission, consisting of the Judges of
the Supreme Court OF the District who
are sitting in Criminal Court. the Polite
Court judges. the Judge OF the Juvenile
Court and two residents of the Districi
who have lived here for at least five
years. The last named would be APP
pointed by the Commissioners for a.
three-year term.
Wherever the ends OF Justice and tho
best interests of the community shall
seem to be best served by letting a pri.s-
oner off," or by pardoning him after b.
has been imprisoned, the probation com
mission could recommend probation and
parole. The prosecuting officer would
have to be consulted and the Attorney
General of the United States would have
to give final approval.
The bill excerpts treason, murder. arson,
kidnapping and certain other crimes %
violence.
The bill authorizes the expenditure oE
S11.920 year for probation officers,
clerks, office rent, etc. The Commissions
ers do not think II wise to recommend
this expenditure at the start, but viii
suggest that this estimate be lowered un-
til some time In the future.

Taft some time today going over the
political situation in Indiana. They have
made many visits recently. Their friends
claim that they did not attempt to inter

Senator Beveridge in Indiana
They expect the Presidents purpose to
give to Senator Beveridge that which he
has given to other senator's, but they felt
warranted I'm asking the President to re-
tain about ten poStmasterS out or a total
of over three hundred In the presidential
class. These postmasters were not only
competent men. but they had been warm
supporters of President Taft and did good
work for him. 1t Is learned that some
time ago they submitted to the President
the names of these ten postmasters, with
a request that they be retained. The
President thought the matter over and
promised to grant the request. He has
already sent to the Senate the names of
three af the postmasters and the others
are expected to so in as the terms Of the
officials expire.
Democrats Favor Stillman.
Senators Fletcher and Talliaferro of
Florida today departed from accustomed
Northumberland in federal patronag e

of Pensacola wish John Z. Stillman re-
tanned as collector of customs at that
place. The republican organization rec
commended Capt. w. III. Northrop for
collector. and Stillman hot-footed to
Washington to get whatever influence he
could 10 hold himself in Office. He was
at one time one of the powers of the
Florida republican machine, and has been
holding office for many years. The Treas
ury Department IS satisfied with his work
as collector.

in Cincinnati from August % to October

One of the exhibits put into the record
