Led by an escort of 500 automobiles
containing Mayor Busse, members OF
the Council and magnates of the motor
ing industry ad sport, the winning
remnant of the Glidden tour reached
Chicago yesterday, completing the
long run of 1850 miles through thir-
teen states.
In the evening a smoker was held at
the Chicago Motor Club, relieving the
strain of waiting for today's decision
of the technical committee after
examination of the eleven cars out of
cinnati seventeen days ago.
On the face of the returns the
Premier, No /. wins the trophy as far
Chalmers, No. 5, second, and Maxwell,
No. I. third. In the roadster class for
the Chicago trophy the Moline seems
to have won, with Illingsworth's Max
well second and .Molines third and
fourth.
A protest has been filed against the
winner, although this may not be nee
essary after the examination of the
cars. A number of changes in the
score will be made and the Premier,
Chalmers and Maxwell all seem to have
a chance on the final count.
The Chalmers, Number 5, won excep-

TWO GAMES
THIS WEEK

The newly organized c. 1. & S. Boiler
makers team will play two games this
week. On Sunday the Boilermakers will
play the West Ends at the latter S
grounds in West Hammond and Mon
day they will clash with the K. of c.
team at the H A A. park
Both teams are preparing for the
Monday game and they are expected to
draw a large crowd. Many new play
ers have ben added the Boilermakers
and therefore the team has been
siren gthened fifty per cent.
The game between the K. of Cs and
Boilermakers has aroused a great deal
of interest owing to the fact that the
teams are near rivals and both mines
will do every thing in their power to
defeat the other.

THE GOVERNMENT BREAKS INTO
~ THE COTTON MARKET. -

The government has summoned lot
of cotton gamblers and forestallers before
the grand jury and there is great in
dignation. Nothing of the kind was ever
heard of before 1t is charged that spec
ulators caught s'short" and weak manufac-
turers who are in trouble have pleaded
the baby act. The Department of Jus
tice is accused of taking sides in the market
and attempting to break prices. Out
rageous Unprecedented.
While these lamentations are heard let
the people remember that they accenturate
movement that is highly creditable to
the administration. For once government
is on the side of the consumer. If, in
deed, it be the first time, let everybody
hope that it will not be the last.
BY taxation, by privilege, by subsidies,
by discriminating legislation, by the crea-
ton of monopolies and by all the we'll
known devices of fraud and favor the gov
ernment has been most Of the time of
late committed to inflated prices. Every
body concerned in the gouge-game, from
the plutocratic trust magnate to the slip
dery rnarket-rigger, was sure that govern
ment was at his back. The people as such
have had to look cut for themselves
There is nothing new in the fact that
the government is "in the market The
only novelty about it is to be found in
the circumstance that it has changed
sides. 1t is not good thing for govern
ment to be always hand in hand with
greed and extortion. 1t is not a good
thing for government to be always blind
to commercial injustice and deaf to the
complaints of those who suffer industrial
wrong.
Nothing that this administration has
done is more to its credit than this at
tack upon the speculative desperadoes
who have practically corned great
staple dislocated the markets of the world,
halted manufacture and burdened consum-
ers with oppressive prices. If govern
ment must interfere In business matters,
| if government must takes sides in the mar
kets, let it occasionally, as in this case,
consider the necessities of the masses.-New

ALLEGED COKE MERCHANT.

Mr.. Walter Phillips, the well known
Jackson druggist, who was convicted for
selling cocaine at the present term of
court was sentenced to pay fine of $500
and four months in Jail. Mr.. Phillips
appealed to the supreme court and was
released on a bond of $500. In return
ing the verdict the jury recommended Mr..
Phillips to the mercy of the court. Judge
Henry in. pronouncing sentence, referred
to the crime of which he was convicted
and said he thought it one of the most
reprehensible of whichhe could be convict-
ed. That he did not know what the jury
recommended him to the mercy of the court,
that he would, to the extent, adhere to this
recommend alton. The maximum sentence
is $500 and six months, and Judge Henry
made it $500 and four months. A motion
was made for a new trial on the ground
of conspiracy, but Judge Henry overruled
the motion, and counsel for the defense
then gave notice of an appeal. Mr.. Phillips
declared the prosecution was a conspiracy,
and said he would fight it to the last
court. "The fine may as well have been
FIVE cents and FIVE minutes in Jail, for |
would have fought that just as hard as
will this sentence"

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CALL.

Chairman Lomax, Of the Democratic
state executive committee, has issued
call for that body to meet in Jackson
on May 9th, and it is expected that there
will be a full attendance.
IF Gov. Noel intends to wage deter
mined fight against the primary, he has
more than two weeks in which to do so,
and during this period the subject will
no doubt be thoroughly aired.
The measure of Gov. NoePs Influence
with the committee is problematical, but
If is known that he has number of warm
personal friends and political supporters
among the members, and will no doubt
succeed in getting up a hard fight.
AS there has not been meeting OF the
committee since its appointment at the
last Democratic state convention, held in
1908, the alignment of the members is
not known. A casual review of its per-
sonnel, however, indicates that it j:

LARGE AREA DEVASTATED

Atlanta, Ga, April 25.-With snow
storms of blizzard proportions raging
throughout eastern Tennessee, northern
and central Alabama and greater part
of Georgia, and freezing temperatures
in other sections of the south, this section
of the country today faced the greatest
loss of early cotton, fruits and vegetables
experienced in many years.
In Georgia, according to Commissioner
of Agriculture Hudson, fully so per
cent of the cotton crop is killed.
More than 90 per cent of the crop was
above ground ard reports indicate that
scarcity Of seed will prevent replanting
vast acreages.
Snow and freezing weather extended
as far south in Alabama as Montgomery,
the greater losses falling in the northern
part of the state, where the damage is
estimated at hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
Light snow is also reported in northern
Mississippi, while extreme cold in north
ern and western Texas has also wrought
considerable damage to crops of all kinds.

COTTON HERE SCARS AS Wealth
Err REPORTS ARE PUBLISHED.
Intense Cold With Indications for More
Frost Means Death TO Young
Plant

Amid scenes of intense excitement with
trade bordering upon the panicy conditions
of the last great corner in the cotton
market, October contracts scored 81 IS
per bale in the New Orleans market Mon
day as a result of one of the severest and
most general cold waves for this period
of the year ever recorded in the south.
The intense cold which has prevailed
throughout the cotton belt since Saturday
night spells disaster for the young cotton,
and when the prevailing scarcity of seed
is taken into consideration the situation
assumes a most alarming aspect, particular
ly when an early and large cotton crop
is so badly needed.
Freezing weather has been reported
throughout the northern section of the belt
over Sunday as far south as Meridian,
and in the southern half intense cold has
prevailed almost to the coast line. More
frost is indicated by the map for the belt
Monday night, heavy in the interior and
light to the coast, with freezing weather
in Alabama and rain or probably snow in
the two Carolinas. What cotton has not
been killed will die under such conditions,
is the opinion of those conversant with
the growing staple, and preparations are
being made to meet the skyward leap which
is expected to be realized Tuesday.
The bears were completed routed in
the local market Monday morning They
were prepared for the advance, however
and were among the first buyers. A thirty
points Jump was scored in October on
the first transaction recorded. and the
shorts forced the staple seven points higher
on the call through their purchases. Later
an advance of twelve points was recorded
before a halt could be called and it was
only heavy realizing by the floor traders
that checked the upward tendency of
values.
The market did not weaken on the sharp
selling pressure, however, but easily main
tanned its recent gain, showing even dispo-
sition to score higher as soon as the
liquidation had exhausted itself. The
rapid advance in the value of the staple
was not confined to the new crop positions
though it is these months that will suffer
the full extent of the cold wave, but q
systematic, movement was reported in near
by positions which lifted the price of the

COTTON Up ALMOST
ALMOST TOTAL LOSS
MORE THAN 90 PER CENT WAS
ABOVE GROUND.
rs Result, Short Crop is Predicted and
Markets are on Sharp Rise,
Both in Futures and
Months.

New Orleans, April 2s.-With more
or less general understanding in the cotton
future market at the close on Saturday,
the weather will prove a big factor IN
the market this week Futures opened here
today from "a to 81 above last weeks
close and exhibited a marked tendency
to seek high levels from the start.
One of the contentious of the long side
of the market was that planters are short
of seed, and if cotton is killed in many
places by cold weather another short crop
will be in order this season.
With the receipts of dispatches from
many points throughout the cotton belt
this morning telling of snow and freezing
weather, new crop months in the future
market opened at IT'S bale above last
weeks close. In the sympathetic rise
some of the old crop months showed ad-
vances of ST. per bale on the opening.
Reports of average damage received from
practically north reported conditions much
worse than those in the far south. Texas
is said to have suffered severely. Pales-
tine, Texas, reported temperature of "a
degrees. reports of ice in many sections
of Mississippi were received, and the Geor-
gia crop, on which hung in large part
the hope of the bears, is reported to have
been severely damaged.
All cotton which was up in many parts
of the interior of the south is reported
killed and the seed which has been put
in the ground is said to be rotting.

One main trouble that confronts the cotton
growers now is the shortage of cotton seed.

to get carload of seed some time today,
and the farmers will plant from the car
as long as it lasts. Considerable ice
showed this morning. The wind has
been blowing very cold all day and frost

have to fear now is that the crop planted
