ReaChes Out For The ''Bulfs
Cotton Operators.
FUTURES COME TUMBLING DOWN
q. s. Attorney General Orders Grand
Jury to Investigate Bull" Cam
paign and Arrest Spectators Cot
ton Mills Excited.

NeW 1Ork, Speclal.-1ne attorney
general Of the United Statos has or
dered an inquiry into the gigantic
bull movement in cotton, with which
the names of James A. Patten of
Chicago, Frank b. Hayne, William
p. Brown of New Orleans and Eu-
gene Scales of Texas have been
popularity connected.
Never before has the government
brought similar action against any
pool operation in the market on
either the long or the short side.
Subpoenas were issued at the 6irec-
tion of Mr.. Wickersham, commanding
dozen or more prominent New
York cotton brokers to appear he
bore a special federal grand jury
Tuesday to testify in the matter ot
the "United States against Frank z,
Hayne and William p. Brown
The subppoenas demand the sub
mission to the special grand jury Of
all records, papers, letters, memo
randa and an agreement dated Feb
ruary 26, last, by Hayne, Brown and
others. The agreement, the SUBJ
poenas state, was fer the purchase
of 100000 bales of cotton for de-
livery in New York during the months
OF May and July, inclusive, at ccr-
tain prices and under certain con-
ditiOns. The fixing of the price and
conditions, the government charges
was violation Of law.
Announcement of the governments
action was followed by a verv eY.
cited break in prices on the New
York cotton exchange which at on,
time bade fair to result in almos. as
great demonstration as that noted
last January.
Wall street was stirred by the
news and it was widely discussed
also in banking circles. Much in.
terest is taken in the case by the
financial districts and the stock ex.
change, rs well as by the entire cot
ton trade.
Atlanta, Ga, Special.-Southcln
cotton mill operators are alarmed
over the action instituted in New
York by the federal authorities
against the leaders of the bull CAM
paign and profess to see in it a
covert effort on the part of certain
New York cotton brokers to get re-
lief from contracts with mills. they
assert that the government unwitting-
Iy is cooperating with the bears in
another and what they fear will prove
q most disastrous "raid." Many mill
men in this lection wired congress
men and 26 senator's appealing Ia
them to institute all investigation
with view to uncovering the '.con-
spiracy" which they declare appears
to exist.
Washington, Special. - Attcrneu
General Wickershum has taken up
the cudgels against the pool in raw
cotton which, it is alleged, already
has resulted in an increased price Of
that staple and curtailment of the
output by manufacturers and con-
sequently loss of employment by mill
hands.
In connection with the discussion
over the prevalent high prices Of
food and other commodities, the at
tention of the attorney ge, aral has
been directed to the alleged existence
OF certain pools and combinations
operating corners in various CON-
mOdities and their effect on inter.
state commerce.
