Pittsburg Councilmanic Conspirators
Under Detectives Eyes.
ANOTHER RINGLEADER INVOLVED
Man is Believed TO Have Weakened
and Told HIS story to District

"f tors Active.

PITTSBURG. March 6.--Another of the
councilmen charged with being one OF the
rIngleaders is believed 10 have weakened
today and to have told his story Of the
graft consiparcy to the district attorney
This step and the unusual activity of
county detectives, serving to indlcatt 90
counoilmen that any student departure
from town would be hazardous, were the
only developments Of the day in the graft
cases.
Charles Stewart, with his attorney, forme
Governor w. A. Stone called on District
Attorney Blakely in his office today. Three
hours later when they emerged, Blakely
would bive out no definite statement.
The district attorney, however, has re-
peatedy announced that Stewart held the
key to some Of the big ones implicated in
the graft conspiracy. If Stewart has made
clean breast Of it, indictments against
certain bankers are assured, 1t is thought
The grand jury yesterday, in its present
ment, said Stewart was the man who was
paid $500 in Hotel Imperial, New York.
The name OF the man who paid It is known,
and Stewards evidence would be in the line
OF corroboration.
Interest today centered about the meet
,ings OF the directorates OF banks named by
the grand jury yesterday. The subject of a
reply. to the district attorneys demands
was not taken up at the Columbia National
bank or the German National of Pittsburg
while the Farmers National Deposit bank
announced that It would ready comply. The
Second National directorate prepared a
statement signed and cer''s'e1 as ordered,
and forwarded II to Harl estut, fore
man Of the grand Jury, -, German Ma
tional bank Of Allegheny had q, statement
to make, and the Working Mans Savings
and Trust company held no meeting.
That the graft crusade Is at last reaching
the men higher up" Is shown by an an
nouncement by the district attorney today
that n certain bankers did not appear and
tell what they knew OF the graft proceed
ings mentioned in the indictments Of yester-
day. bench warrants would be issued for
them.
1t is expected several OF Plttsburgs hest
known financiers will be caught in the
draghet Of next weeks investigation.
The strain Is wearing on those under

REMEDY FOR TRADING EVILS
Federal Guard Over Speculation
~" Urged by Cotton Leader.
QUESTION OF RIGHT AND WRONG
w. b. ThOmpnOn OF New Orleans Says
There Is No Wrong in Futures,
but that There Should
he Laws -

NEW YORK, March ,26-Eederal super
vision of speculative exchanges was recon-
mended tonight by w. B. Thompson, presi-
dent OF the New Orleans Cotton exchange.
In a address before the Republican club OF
the city, Of New York.
Mr.. Thompson's subject was, How Can
the Economic Features of the Speculative
Exchanges Be Preserved and the Ethical
Evils ElimInated?" In suggesting his
remedies he said
There, is no wrong in future trade nor
is there any evil in a fairly and equitably
admired system Of future trading. The
speculative feature is adjunctiVe to the
trading in the actual commodity. The spec
ulative medium is regulated by the value
Of the actual commodity for which the
medium stands. On the contrary. future
trading is as ethical as present trading,
and a properly regulated system of forward
commitments is an indispensable factor in
modern trade. Remedial efforts, therefore,
should not have for their object the aboli-
ton Of the future trading system, but
should be directed towards the codes and
rules of the exchanges which occur in the
system as operated.
Obligations TO Public.
THE first step in the remedial endeavor
is TO bring the exchanges to just appre-
ciatlon Of their responsibilities and obliga-
tions to the public, and the second step is
to compel a fair response to this RESPONSE
bility and this obligation. l know of no
effectual method by which these results
may be accomplished except by the action
of the people themselves, enforced through
their strong governmental arms
1T / snot feasible or wise for congress to
undertake to make books OF rules for the
government OF the exchanges, but It is
feasible that it is wise ana necessary that
the observance of few plain principles Of
right and wrong shall be commanded by
national legislation and that a special
executive agency shall be charged with the
duty of seeing that these mandates are
obeyed.
II take this stand with no misglvings
The active interference by the government
with the operations OF powerful organized
interests which have hitherto enjoyed i'm
munity from compulsion involves conse-
quences worth serious condition; but that
far-reaohing nature Of the wrongs and the
increasing discomfort and restivehess OF
the millions who are touched thereby make
wise remedial action Imperative"

Overhauling the Treasury Building

Fifteenth street; frieze windows will
 be placed on the third floor, and a general adjustment of bureaus and divisions will be made to facilitate the work. The treasury department has been seriously overcrowded for mum. Der of years. One of the very first i'm. proyements was the elimination from the building of the branch printing office, with It's combustible inks. oils. etc. With the great Fifteenth street steps removed fine entrance at grade will be provided for the em. ployes, and count will be kept of the people entering and leaving the tuild- ing. which at the present time seems to be impossible. At the present time the employees are obliged to carry their clothing, hats, rubbers, umbrel- las and everything of that character into their working rooms, so that lock. CTS are imperative.

Not very much has been done to the inside of the great pile of masonry, where the United States money is kept, but more or less work is all the time going on on the outside. All of the original sandstone or soft limestone that faced the outside of the building has been at last removed, and granite has been put in it's place. The principal change that will now be made will be to eliminate the huge granite entrance steps on the

 Surely we are moving along and the progress and improve ment of the people who are buy ;ar are no more marked than IS the progress of the merchant.

BRIkKLEY HOME COMING.

From Ft. Smith, Ark.

J. Lank- ford, manager of the Cotton Oil Co.,, at England, Ark.
 Surely this is a happy sugges- ton and there should be a con- cert of action of all the people of the city looking to the success of such a move.
 Since there is apparently no other organization in the town to handle 1t the ARGUS would sug- gest that the Civic Improvement League get behind the move and push it through.

A civil suit before Justice Cam. eron yesterday afternoon in which Wm. Hawkins (Col. ) sued Hudson & Dugger, the heading people, for a balance on a ship ment of stock, drew quite a crowd of spectators.
 The case resulted in a verdict in favor of Hudson & Dugger, who proved that they had "come clear" with Hawkins.
 The Hudson & Dugger factory is about the largest factory in Brinkley now and so clearly is their business managed that law suits are seldom if ever known with them.

The great leading brands in every line frc1l rFcariag a.-.2arel to food stuff is known to the person who reads and keeps posted. Who is it that doesn't 1 know that there is not another hat manufactured in the world l that comes up to the rank and cmede of the famous Knox Hats, a.ld probably next to that the celebrated Stetson and Worth brands.
 Even children, as well as lone headed parents, know that tEe top notcher in grade and value is. when 1t comes to children s shoes; any bright child will tell you quick, that there is nothing on earth that ranks equal tc Buster Brown and Blue Ribbon Shoes.
