NOT A GAM BILE.
Big Southern Cotton Dealer Defends
the Cotton Exchanges.

Washington, Feb 10.-Defending the
true information which is disseminat-
ed by thousands of brokers to every
body interested, Solomon Napoleon
Core of Greensboro, ~ c.. attacked the
proposed anti-option bill during the
hearing before the House committee
on agriculture today. Mr.. Cone de-
scribed himself as stockholder in va
rious cotton mills, a member ''of all the
cotton exchanges of the world and
the dealer in over $40,00,000 worth of
spot cotton annually.
The sessions today were devoted to
tie closing arguments by the advo-
Gates of the proposed legislation to
prohibit dealings in future in the eX-
changes and board and to the argu-
nnent of Mr.. Cone.
Former President Hubbard of the
New York Cotton Exchange and
George w. Neville of that body, We're
among the opponents of the measure.
while Senator Smith of South Carolina
and Representatives Burleson Of Tex
as, Hardwick of Georgia and Sims Of
Tennessee were among the outsiders
who occasionally prompted informa-
ton.
The hearing will be resumed tomorrow
and on Feb. IS the committee will hear
a delegation from the American Associa-
ton of Grain Exchanges.
Mr. Cone said that his practice as a
large dealer is to sell more heavily when
the market is going up and to buy more
heavily when the market is going down;
that that unusual practice was based on
pure calculation, not on luck or chance.
Il do not defend gambling" he ex-
planned. II am an old bachelor; some of
you others are married but I have never
taken that chance. 1 think this whole
matter before the committee is a matter
of ethics and one for the preachers to
deal with
ut was common report recently" sug-
gested Chairman Scott, 'that Mr.. Patten
of Chicago came down to New York and
picked s50O0,0O0 out of the New York Cot
ton market. If that is true, who paid for
the proft?"
Much of the money was lost in both
legitimate and illegitimate way, as COM
merce runs" answered Mr.. Cone.
why is it that such boon to the cot
ton trade as a future Market" inquired
Mr.. Scott, has not evoluted in their bus
mess newspaper property, business, hay
and other lines of industry?"
Mr.. Cone did not furnish much infor-
nation on that point but declared that
he believed he would make more money
if the exchanges were abolished, all
though he did not favor any such STEP
He characterized the mill men as "the
worst lot of pessimists ever knew"
Mr.. Cone said that the commission gen.
orally paid on cotton transactions is SIS
per 100 bales and because Of his large
business he got one-half the brokers'
commission
Mr.. Cone referred to the Galveston Ex-
change as dead letter, and future trans
actions were inhibited all the exchanges
would be dead letters.
There is more honor in Wall Street."
he volunteered, "and in Beaver Street
than there is in the heart Of the coun-
try"

TICKET sPECULAToRS

New York, Feb 10.-Theatrical man
ayers in New York openly cooperate
with sidewalk spectators in tickets.
Mare Klaw. as spokesman for the man.
ayers. said so today without reserva-
tion to the board of aldermen.
Two years ago" he said, Il came to
you with clean hands, declaiming
against what l believed to be an evil.
| still believe this business can be
stopped-entirely, but under present
conditions the managers are to some
degree in partnership with the specu-
lators.
Despite our best efforts to defeat
this traffic We are beaten, and yet We
are consciehtiously against it, because
1t kills successes. The reason GER
tain musical comedy that ran for two
years in London ran for less time here
is that spectators starved off the de-
mand by charging exorbitant rates.

Halls Artistic Lies Will
Not Save Him
From Serving Out His Term
On the Prison Ship.
Bogus Confession Of Murder May
Cause Him More Trouble.

Washington, Feb. 10.-James Hall,
the marine who made a bogus confess
SIGN to the effect that he was the muir
derer of the unfortunate Anna Schu-
nacher in the cemetery of Rochester,
is apt to pay dearly for his joke. He
was turned over TO the civil authori-
ties bv the naval commandant at Kit
terry, Me-, and taken to Rochester for
trial by the civil authorities, and soon
afterward it was found that he had
been working or farm at the time of
the murder
Now the Rochester authorities can
not hold him but the navy department
has rescinded the order for the i'm
mediate discharge of the man from the
navy, and he will be taken back to the
prison ship at Kittery to serve out the
unexpired portion of his sentence for
cnlisting under false pretenses. More
over, it is probable that Hall also will
be tried on a fresh charge of practic-
ing fraud against the navy.

previously been stated will be pitted

There has been one change since the
'rlals We're run few days ago. Roy
GOOD and Clarence Small tied for
fourth place, the favor being on Goods
side, but the two men were so near
even that the coach gave them an
other chance to try out, Small winning
out by about one second so he will be
placed on the team instead of Good.
Bates has several fast men as Colby
realizes since they were against them
IN the dual meet at Lewiston last year
and so understands that to win at the

man has got to take every advantage.
