THAT COTTON POOL
SENATOR SIMMONS ARRAIGS!
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
Which, He Said, Had Only Under
taken to Prosecute the Boosters
OF Cotton Prices.

In a speech delivered in the Sen
ate Wednesday Senator Simmons. OF
North Carolina. attacked the meth
DDS Of the department Of justice in
the matter Of its prosecution Of the
cotton pool. He did not complain
because OF the suits. but because the
| cotton producers and spinners had
been iaovlved In the matter.
Complaining of partiality in the
enforcement OF the Sherman anti
trust law. Mr.. Simmons said that
in undertaking to prosecute The
bulls and not the bears. the depart
men. had undertaken only partial
prosecution He said that the pro-
ceedins amounted to usurpa.ion Of
authority.
Senator Simmons made bitter
complaint against a course which he
said had had the effect OF placing
the real cotton men in the light OF
spectators when the efforts had
been in exactly the opposite direc-
ton.
If the cotton spinners OF the
country will cooperate in the same
line which the cotton spinners OF
the South are pursuing. all the e1-
changes Of the country will be on a
spot basis instead Of paper basis"
he said. He conteaded that contracts
for future sales Of cotton should be
for real and not sham delivery"
The Attorney Generals attitude
toward the price Of cotton was
sharply criticized. He said that OF
fetal had attacked prices ,rot be-
cause OF the pool. .bu. because he
considered them national evil.
He has the whole matter grorg:
prices are not ahnormally high"
said Mr.. Simmons. they are certain
ly not above the level OF prices fx-
ed by the tariff and In the interect
of monopoly" He said there had
been 40 protest from the Attorney
General when the bears had squeez-
ed SIS ont Of the price OF cotton.
he contended that the high prices
OF the present day were due to short
crops and other natural causes. He
said prices were not high enough.
and he thought they would so high
or.
And the Attorney General can
aot prevent t'-t. whatever proceed
ings he may institute in the Inter
ests of foreign buyers" he added
M Simmons refused to concede !
this Government the righ, to inter-
fere with the purpose OF affecting
the price OF the staple. ct IS as
startling as 1t is unpauiotic and It !.
is as unpatriotic as It is untenable."
he declared. speaking Of the Attor-
ney Generals course. AS our chief
article OF export, he declared. that |
the price Of cotton should be kept |
up. He said that while the South |
always would be the first to receive |
the beaefi. o. any increase the whole
country would profit.

London, Nov. 2.-LOrd MOrley'S retire
ment from the India Office and, indeed.
from official life. although not yet Off
cially announced. will hardly come as
surprise to his intimate friends He
made no secret of his disinclinatiOn to
continue in office when the present Cabi-
net was reformed in 1910. Only the fact
that Indian affairs were of a grave
nature and that a change in ministers
might have been construed in native
quarters as a sign of weakness caused
him to stay at his post
There is some talk of carrying out an
important reorganization of the Colonial
Department Since the constitution of
the Australian Commonwealth and the
formation of the Union of South Africa
the responsibility connected with the
duties of Colonial Secretary have been
greatly augmented. As the empire con-
tinues TO grow in population and
strength, there must be corresponding
increase in the importance attaching to
the office.
There are some who think that the
functions now performed by the Secre-
tary for the Colonies ought to be divided

George w. Yeandle, an architect, of
No. 314 Madison avenue. who had been
selected as a juror for the trial of Ed
ward T. Rosenheimer, in the Criminal
Branch of the Supreme Court. was in
dicted yesterday on a charge of accept
ing bribe. With him was indicted
Dagobert Timendorfer. Of No. 46 West
116th street, who offered to deliver
Yeandle to James w. Osborne. of coun-
sci for Rosenheimer.
1t was through the prompt action Of
Mr. Osborne, and after a midnight con-
ference between Justice O'Gorman and
District Attorney Whitman, that Yean-
die and Timendorfer We're trapped yes
terday morning with $500 in marked
bills, the first payment of $500 for
which Timendorfer represented that
Yeandle could be bribed.
When arraigned- before Justice O'Gor-
man Yeandle pleaded not guilty. Timen-
dorfer announced his readiness TO plead
guilty. but the formal entry of his plea
was deferred until this morning at the
request of the District Attorney, so that
Ttnoendorfer's lawyer could be present
Roth men were held for trial in $4,000
each.
Yeandle was a juror in the second
trial of Nan Patterson, on December D.

reported its Indictment, Timendorfer
said that Yeandle told him he was
tired of being straight; that the only
way TO make money was by graft: that
all public officials grated; that he was
in the market, and that he would de-
liver the goods for 300"
The indictment OF Yeandle did not in
terfere with the trial of Rosenheimer.
Frederick S. Glover, an insurance
broker. of No. $50 West 126th street,
was chosen in his place. The prosecu-

case without further delay
