at $14.92 and August at S14.49 bid or
about IL to 4 points up from the low
level of the day.
Five counts are embraced in the in
dictment, which is in blanket form
and contains 10000 words. The first
count charges that the defendants un
lawfully conspired with certain cor
porations not here indicted to de
man arbitrary, excessive and monop-
olistic prices for cotton"
The firms mentioned as ~co-conspira-
tors, though not included in the in
dictment, embrace five mills in Ala
bama, 16 in Georgia, three in North
Carolina, and 81 in South Carolina.
Describing the inside working of
the alleged conspiracy, the indictment
says that the conspirators were to be-
come members of and engage in an
unlawful combination, in the form of
an agreement, .Ider which they were
s~everally to purchase for shipment
from the south to New York all the
cotton not directly absorbed by the
demands of foreign and domestic
spinners and manufacturers in the
ordinary course of business, in other
words as much as they could purchase
from day to day without seriously en-
HANGING the price, but nevertheless to
such an extent that together they
would, long before the end of the
crop year, have so much cotton in
their possession in the city of New
York that they could by reason of
the abnormal and artificial condition
thus produced in said trade and COM
merce, severally demand arbitrary, ex-
cessive and monopolistic prices"
There is appended to the indict-
ment, what purports to be an agree
ment between Brown and Hayne as
parties of the first part and certain
spinners as parties of the second part,
through the medium of which il is al
legged cotton was illegally cornered.
The contract was signed in New
York on February rs, 1910, and amend,
ed in March Z, 1910.

Iation of Product Is Unlawful
Market Shows an
Excited Break.

New York, n. Y. - The govern
ment came out in the open in its
attempt to prove that manipulat-
ing of the cotton market is against
the law. James A. Patten Of Chicago,
and seven lesser figures in the specu-
lative field have been indicted,
charged with conspiracy in restraint
of trade under the Sherman anti-truOt
law.
The indictment was returned by a
special federal grand jury and handed
up before Judge Hough in the United
States Circuit court. Five of those
indicted, Patten, Eugene B. Scales,
Frank B. Hayne, William p. Brown
and NJ. II. Rothschild, gave bail Of
So, 900 as required, through counsel.
For the other three, who were neither
present in court nor represented by
lawyers, bench warrants were issued.
They are Sidney J. Herman, Robert
NJ. Thompson and Charles A. Kittle.
Immediately the indictment was an
nounced there was an excited break
on the cotton exchange, July and
August deliveries declining about
$3.50 a bale, July selling at $14.S1 and
August at $14.35, as against $15.12
and $14.64 at the close of business on
the previous night.

Agreement Seen In Fight On
House Rules.

Washington, ID. c. - After re-
naming on the senate calendar for
almost three months in a state of I'M
certainty as to it's fate, the bill pro-
Winding for the admission of the terri
tories of New Mexico and Arizona to
separate statehood was taken up by
the senate and passed after a debate
consuming little more than two hours.
The measure was called up by Sen
ator Beveridge, chairman of the com
mittee on territories, at the conclusion
of the routine business of the day and
was passed after speeches by Sen
ators Beveridge, Frazier, Nelson,
Hughes and Smoot.
All the speeches were favorable to
the creation OF the two states, but the
Democrats favored the bouse bill.
When the vote was reached there
was a division on the senate substi-
tute for the house bill, but with that
amendment accepted, the senate vot-
ed solidly for the passage of the bill.
The senate substitute was adopted as
an amendment to the house measure
by a strictly party vote, the ballot
standing 4 to 10.
AS passed the bill would provide
for the admission as states of the two
territories, but not until after a con-
stitution had been adopted by each of
them, approved by the president and
ratified by congress.

At Quarantine the necessary for

Agreement With House.

Much apprehension has been felt
that the bill would tie up in confer
ence in the house, but during the dis
cussion much was said to dissipate
that fear. 1t came in connection with
a speech by Senator Nelson and in re-
sponse by Democratic senators. The
Minnesota senator declared he would
do all that he could to bring about an
agreement with the house during the
present session.
"I1l do all that l can to bring 1t
about" he said, land l think we can
do it; we ought to dispose of the mat
ters in two or three days.
Senators Carter and Borah concur
red in this view.
There are two reasons why we
should reach an agreement" said Mr..
Borah. "One is that we won't go
home until we get it and the other is
that it is getting too hot to stay here
long"
Saying that he would prefer the sen,
ate bill to no statehood legislation,
Senator Bailey declared that it would
be some time before congress ad-
Journed IL the conference committee
did not report IN agreement.
Under the bill as amended by the
senate 1t might be two and a half
years before the statehood law would
become operative and the house con.
ferees want to shorten the time to
the spring Of 1911.

Washington, d. C. - Further re-
classification of the lands within the
national forests will be announced this
week. President Taft is signing the
proclamations as fast as they are pre-
pared by the forest service and ap,
proved by the secretary of agriculture.
This work is being hurried because
the administration has become alarm
ed at the rate of emigration from the
United States to Canada. BY the re.
classification more than a million acres
of desirable lands which had been
locked up in the national forests will
be thrown open to homestead entry.
When the work is completed more
than 5000. 900 acres will be available
for settlers.

That submarine vessels can make
extended trips is shown by a recent
experience with the Viper. owned by
the United States. which, In command

a point of the North Carolina coast to
Annapolis. Hitherto no such attempt
has been made. OF course, the voyage
was made on the surface, as submar.

Early in the morning this immense

when, about 9 o'clock. the scouting

with the word that the Kaiserin Au-

made ready for the first greeting.
AS the big liner came into sight, ev-
cry whistle on every vessel was tied
open and shrieked the welcome to the
returning wanderer. Colonel Roose-
