COG, 900 bales of stuff in one season, when
only 1000. 900 bales of actual cotton were
produced, objects, and very seriously OBJ
jects. to being interfered with. What he
deals in. is called cotton. but the fact is,
he has no cotton and II does not take
cotton to carry out his contract on the
New York exchange.
II repeat that the legislation we seek
is no restraint of trade in cotton. but ii is
a distinct and direct effort to encourage
trade in actual cotton and to define what
Is fair and legitimate dealing In cotton.
Upon such a regulation where the Law
of supply and demand Is undisturbed by
the artificial and false conditions brought
about by cotton gamblers. the cotton pro-
ducer is willing to stand. All that he
wants Is a fair price and living profit,
and he is entitled to both.
1.-THE cotton business will not have been
regulated properly until the producer, un-
fettered and unhampered by the mysteri-
Gus and illegitimate workings of a gam
bling exchange is allowed to have some
thing to say in the matter of fixing the
price of cotton. The producer is not treat
ed properly unless the cotton that he pro-
duces Is demanded to fill contracts which
name cotton for delivery. We are trying
to confine dealing fin cotton to cotton In
existence or cotton to be grown and de-
livered during the year. This is fair, and
it Is just to all concerned, and cotton and
facts about cotton will Ae the ruling fac
tors in the cotton world Honesty, even
In the cotton business, is the best policy.
''Mr. Speaker, this proposed law will
not abolish single legitimate cotton ex-
change. but on the contrary 1t will build
up splendid system of spot cotton ex-
changes in the United States. where act
ual cotton will be dealt in. where actual
cotton will be bought and sold and actual
cotton delivered. Then when cotton Is
bought and sold the man who produces
cotton will be called on to furnish cotton
to fill the contracts. and the law of supply
and demand will be In full and free op-
eration''

ROOSEVELT TALKS
WITH OLD FRIENDS

Oyster Bay, June 24.-Theodore
Roosevelt held long talk today with
James r. GARFIELD, his former secre-
tary of the interior. and Clifford Pin
chot the chief forester, whom Presi-
dent Taft deposed but what the men
said and what bearing, II any, tn cir
talk had on the national political sit
uation, is known only to the partici-
pants themselves.
That the three men talked politics
is coniectured here, but this conjec-
ture is supported by only ore bit OF
fiimsy circumstances. 1t is this: Just
as the two visitors were about TO
leave Colonel Roosevelt excused HIM
self from other guests and conferred
privately with Messrs Pinchot and Gar
field for some time.
Oyster Bay, which is somewhat self
conscious politically, took no end of
interest In the visit of Messrs. Gar
field and Pinchot and this afternoon
the oyster Bay Pilot appeared with
an editorial utterance to the effect tlat
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Pinchot and Mr..
Garfield were very lusy formulating
new national party.
Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot, who,
on their arrival last night, refused to
discuss the subject of their visit. were
as elusive as ever when they left town
at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
Medill Mccormick of the Chicago
Tribune. who came from New York in
big automobile. took them back witt
him. AS they passed through the vii
lage they took care to dodge inter
viewers.
Governor Hughes is expected in Ov.
ster Bay either at the end of This week
or next week after Mr.. Roosevelt re.
turns from Cambridge.

BROWNE BRIBERY
CASE WITH JURY

Chicago, June Alt has been many
Years since an Illinois jury has been called
,pon to consider q verdict of greater po-
lftical Importance than the one wnlcn
this afternoon retired to consider the
charge Of bribery against Lee ONeii
Browne, leader of the democratic minority
of the Illinois house of representatives.
In instructing the jury Judge MO-
Surely stated that the uncorroborated tes-
tinony of an accomplice may be consid-
cred. but 1t should be received with great
care and caution and carefully weighed.
Should the jury believe that any of the
states Witnesses testified because OF
promises Of immunity from prosecution.
this also should enter into the considera-
ton of the case. To find Browne guilty
the court said the evidence must establish
beyond a reasonable doubt all of the fol-
lowing propositions:
a. Whether on June 16. 1903, Browne
Rave Representative White. in the BRIGGS
house. at Chicago, the sum of $3.50.
..2. That said sum was given to White
in consideration of his having voted for
william Lorimer pursuant to a corrupt
agreement entered into between Browne
and White and by which White agreed to
vote and Browne agreed to pay him.
II the Jury retains any doubt on these
two points. the court added, 1t must find
the defendant not guilty. As to the tes-
timony of Representatives Beckemeyer
and Link. who confessed to receiving $1,000
each for voting for Lorimer. Judge Nc
Surely said:
'.The purpose of admitting this testi-
mony was solely ito determine whether
there existed any motive on the part Of
browne that might lead to his paying $3.50
to White in the Briggs house in June. 1919.
as charged In the Indictment. or for deter
mining the intent with which Browne
might have paid White the sum. or for
determining whether there existed .
scheme, design or plan on the part Of
Browne to accomplish certain purpose.
that purpose being the payment of the
money to White in connection with that
scheme, design or plan."
Receiving no report from the jury room
of a probable verdict tonight. Judge Nc
Surely at 10 O clock left for his home after
Issuing instructions that the verdict II
reached shall be sealed and returned In
court at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

SENATOR GORE DECLARES THAT
ATTEMPT is MADE TO BRIBE HIM

Washington. June 24.-tSpeeial. )--Repre-
sentative Hefin addressed the House to-
day in the interest of the Scott bill which
lures. He replied to the speech of Rep
resentative Lamb of Virginia, who as a
member of the committee on agriculture
filed a minority report opposing the.
bill Mr.. Hefiin created considerable
amusement in the. House in relating that
he had often heard of the lion and the
lamb lying down together, but that this
was the first time that he ever saw or
heard of lambs and bears lying down to-
gether He said that his district in Ala
bama produced five times as much cotton
as the whole state of Virginia.
When his time expired the House grant
ed him more time. He made a strong
speech from the growers standpoint.
The bill passed the House this after
noon.
1T is an attempt to abolish the handling
of fictitious stuff that the gambling ex-
changes now offer in unlimited quantities,
stun that they call cotton said Mr..
Hefiin. 1T is an attempt to confine deal
ing In cotton to buying and selling In
good faith actual cotton where the party
buying expects to get cotton and the
party selling expects to deliver cotton.
The man who wants cotton to spin or
cotton to hold for profit will not hest
tate to state that his part In the cotton
deal Is honest, that II is bona fide trans
action. 1t is only the man whose deeds
concerning cotton are evil, who loves the
darkness of the gambling exchange rather
than the light of legitimate cotton trade,
the cotton gambler who does not deal in
actual cotton but who handles ficti-
tious stuff that he pleases to call cotton,
whose feelings will be hurt because he
must state when contracting to buy cot

Mastery Filibuster Is
Engineered By Burton

| Washington, June 24.-(Special.) IA re-

a howl of rage to go up in the neighbor'
hood of Oyster Bay has been received
here by friend of w. ]. Bryan from
Hon. Perry Belmont. The letter is dated

given to Representative Sherwood of Ohio.
whose secretary tonight made it public.
The letter declares that the unusual re-
ceptfon accorded Mr. Roosevelt In Europe
was due to the fact that he Is looked
upon as the next President, that many
of the foreigners now believe him to b.
President.
The letter is in part as follows;
sThe cause of Ropsevelt's reception In
Europe is the belief that he Is returning
to the presidency, that Taft is merely a

velt, who Is to be given greater powers
than any of our Presidents. II is almost
impossible to convince Englishmen. es-
pecialy even those whose relation to I'M

velt's return to the presidency Is not an
assured fact OF which there is no doubt
whatever. 1t cannot be supposed that our
ambassador In London and other diplo-
matte and consular agents in Europe, who
are republican politicians have gone out
of their way to correct such wide-
spread impression. The reception in
Europe, 1t is hoped by them. will give
Roosevelt the opportunity on his return
of bringing renewed strength to his
party.
Two years ago the belief that Bryan
was to be nominated and had a chance
of being elected to the presidency ac-
counts for the difference In the Bryan
Of 1908 and the Bryan in Europe of 1910.
The aristocracy of Europe and the re-
dictionary elements In the politics of
Europe wish to believe in the failure of
our democracy and they are quick to
perceive that Roosevelt would personify
its failure. The liberals of Europe and

Helen recognized this as a clever ruse
to find out the amount of their rent;
so she answered evasively:

were married. so I really know very
little about 1T
We'll. it's a very good house. The
neighborhood is good, convenient to the
subway, and most of the tenants are
very desirable. OF course, there are
always some that are not quite what
one would wish I suppose you've heard
of Mrs. Trainor on the third floor"
Helen shook her head. She knew this
was gossip and she ought to discour
age it-anS yet she felt a certain guilty
interest.
Her husband drinks Comes home
late almost every other night. and so
intoxicated the boy has to help him
in the elevator. And then there's al
ways a scene. You may be up too high
but from my court bedroom you can
hear them quarreling. He swears at
her and she always cries.
Poor thing" murmured Helen
Well they say it's partly her fault
She used to be always playing bridge

ner, so he got to dining downtown.

And she looked at Helen rather search
ingly.

go.
Well I must be going. I suppose
Mr.. Curtis will be here in a few mo-
ments now.
"Oh. yes" murmured Helen. he'll be
here in few moments"
We'll, my dear. take the advice of
an older woman, and don't let him stay
out too often and too late" She
laughed. It's not good for these young
husbands, you know"
Helen closed the door after her with
burning cheeks. Why had she said that?
Was it only a casual remark or had it
more significance? Did she know War
rem had been out a good deal lately?
Had she heard that, too, from the ele-
vator boy?
A sense of great resentment. of bit
terness rose within her. Was she not
finding married life difficult enough?
Must she contend. too, with petty gos-
sip? Was that also to be added to her
difficulties?
