said that two months would be a fair

COTTON GAMBLING
HINDERS TRADE

Washington, April 24-Unless abnormal
speculation IN cotton in the United States
Is stopped and the business taken out of
the hands of stock gamblers, Americans
VIII lose foreign trade in that stan,a
amounting to millions of dollars each
year. Efforts are now being made by the
government to curb this evil, and upon
their success largely will depend the TN.
ture Of American cotton abroad.
Ihe abnormal price of cotton caused
by spectators in the United States lest
year heavily curtailed the imports of that
product in foreign countries. In Russia
alcne the falling off of imports of Amer
lean cotton amounted to nearly one-half
OF those of the previous year, when al
most SSo,Ooo,00 worth Of American cot
ton was imported into that country. Rus
sia In 1908 required sl25. 100000 worth of
cotton, of which almost one-half was i'm
ported, five-sixths of which came from
this country.
OF the American cotton used in Russia
IN 1908 about one-third was bought
through German and English commission
houses. The American product in that
way is bought and sold several times be-
fore 1t finally reaches its destination, and
therefore, even under ordinary circum
stances, the price of the raw product
has reached abnormal proportions by the
time 1t is delivered at the textile centers
oe Russia.
Russian manufacturers assert without
hesitation that IL they were able to puy
at reasonable figures they would consume
$100, 900, 900 worth of American cotton each
year.

Coleman, Tex, April 24.-Twelve ne
groes badly beaten, one white man seri-
ously injured, and the entire negro
population of Coleman of between $50
and zoo men, women and children,
driven out of town as the result OF
race riots which occurred here at ]
o'clock this afternoon and ragged far
into the night. That many persons
were not killed or seriously wounded
is due to the fact, it is said, that the
negroes offered no resistance except In
Isolated cases and the white men con-
-ented themselves with using clubs and
stones instead of firearms.
Until the Santa Fe railroad began

in this section, a black face was a rar-

fed recently by alleged inflammatory
utterances of some of the negro leaders

broader and needed but a spark to

KNIGHT. T.YANCEY
COTTON SEIZED

Mobile, April 24.-The first seizure

made in Mobile today when Deputy
United States Marshal White served an
INDUCTION on Capt. Arthur Parker of the
British steamship Meltonian restrain
ing the movement of 1900 bales of cot
ton loaded in the steamship and con-
signed to Havre, France.

and w. s. Lowell, receivers for the
bankrupt cotton company.
Latham & Co of Havre and the Elder,
Demster Steamship company, owners
of the Melronian, are named in the
Injunction which is issued until fur
ther orders of the court are made in

There are 2200 bales of cotton on the
wharf where the Meltonian is berthed
waiting to be loaded into the steamer
but no attachment has been issued
against this cotton as far as known.
The Meltonian's cargo would have
been completed and the vessel cleared
within two days. and she is billed to
sail Wednesday, but for the extraordi-
nary circumstances.

INDIANA WARNS UP
OYER SENATORSHIP

Indianapolis, April 24-Open controversy
over whether or not the Indiana DEM
ocratic convention to be held in this
legislative candidate for the United States
Senate broke out today in the lobby of
tho Denison hotel, where the party lead
ers had assembled in great number. John
E. Lamb of Terre Haute, vice chairman
of the democratic national committee, a
candidate for the nomination of United
States senator and an advocate of the
plan that the state committee on arrange
ments fix the slate with others, have
charged the opposition with seeking to
block the plan by having the report of
the committee on order of business omit
ted and turn 1t over to Governor Mar
shall, who has been selected as tenn oor-
ary chairman.
Governor Marshall is the originator of
the idea that the convention should | T.
dorse a candidate for the Senate, and
he is to speak In its favor. This is an
outrage" said Lamb, 1t Is a violation Of
all precedents and II an attempt is made
to push it through there will be riot in
the convention"
You cannot bluff me-" retorted Jack
son, one of the opposition leaders, "a-id
this is no place to start a row. II you
had a grievance why did you not come
to me privately?
Friends interposed and argument was
suspended. Lamb, however, went to the
state headquarters and demanded that
the convention programme be changed SO
that the report on order of business shall
be received by Governor Marshall after
he has assumed charge as temporary
chairman.
The leader of the opposition to the gov
ernor's plan is Thomas Taggart, former
national democratic chairman, it is stated
He Is candidate for the United States

gestion to nominate a candidate in the

Baseball Is Stumbling
Block In Way OF ActiDe
Work By Con9ressn1en

Washington. April 24-The Marathon
between the Senate and the House for the
distinction OF being the first to pass
President Taft's railroad legislation is
attracting more than usual interest. Both
branches of Congress had hoped to reach
votes before the close of the coming
week, but the Senate seems to have en-
countred several obstacles, and from pres
ent indications 1t will be 10 days proba-
bly, before the measure is sent to confer
ence. Representative Mann of Illinois,
who has charge Of the bill in the House.
succeeded in getting an order for the
consideration of the bill for amendments
under the f1ve-minute rule. Unless he
strikes unexpected obstacles 1t is likely
he can bring the measure to a final vote
by Thursday or Friday. On the Senate
side extra delays have been provoked
by the desire Of the members to go to the
afternoon baseball games. Senator Ell
kins said yesterday he could have put
through several important provisions
during the past week If it had not been
for the absence Of so many of his col
leagues
AS matter of fact, Mr. Elkins did not
exaggerate the situation, although he
was speaking jocularly.
On Friday and Saturday early adjourn
ments were necessities on account of the
absence of quorum, and for the same
reason earlier sessions could not be or
dered. Supporters of the bill had plan
ned to get a vote yesterday on section
of the bill, which relates to the subject
of traffic agreements. This section has
been debated at great length and the end
OF the struggle is not in sight.
Sunday afternoon Senator Elkins report
ed that he had sufficient votes to defeat
the Cummins substitute for the Elkins.

in charge of the bill want adopted.
