INVENTOR OF COTTON GIN
TO HAVE MONUMENT

The movement looking to the cree
ton of a monument in Savannah to
the memory of Eli Whitney, the in
ventor of the cotton gin, which pro-
ject was first launched by James Bran
don of New York. who invented the
Teazer gin, which is a recent improve
ment on the Whitney gin, is now we'll
under way. Mr.. Brandon, who is now
in Savannah in the interest of the
Teazer gin, will himself subscribe
sum as the nucleus around which
the monument fund will be built.
1t is a curious coincidence that nei-
Their Whitney nor Brandon had seen
growing cotton at the time their in
ventions were perfected. Mr.. Bran
don expresses himself as much sur
prised that none of the monuments
now here commemorated the achieve
ments of Whitney. He at once set
about remedying this omission.
Sufficient data has not yet been Sc
cured to mark approximately fireplace
where the shop of the great inventor
was situated-the exact spot will pro-
badly never be known. Further
investigation in this direction is now
being pushed rapidly. The promoters
of the monument desire the co-opera-
ton of the people of Savannah in the
undertaking as we'll as those interested
in the cotton industry over the south.
Mr.. Brandon thinks that this tribute
to the man whom Lord Macaulay said
did more for America than Peter
the Great did for Russia" has already
been too long delayed.
The monument will not be located
in Savannah proper, but on the old
Greene plantation, some miles up the
river, where Whitney was making a
living by teaching children the rule
of three at the time the idea for the
gin became clear in his mind. The
monument will be on the public road
and will bear suitable inscriptions
commemorating the inventors work
and indicating the spot where the in
vention was completed. The monu-
ment will be pretentious and imposing
or only simple shaft according as
the ginners and spinners of the coun-
try respond heartily or otherwise to
the call for subscriptions.
The invention of the cotton gin
links the city of Savannah closely to
the history of the cotton trade. The
then Yankee school teacher first set

attention. A certain type of the veal
thy will not stop tipping because of
the law. Law means to them little.
The people then who can really make
the measure against tipping effective
are the business men themselves
whose employees receive tips If ho-
tel and restaurant keepers and all
such employers would make a string.
ent rule that their employees should
not receive tips and back it up with
instant dismissal if they accepted gra-
tuitles of any kind, they would Gre
ate a public opinion that would make
the proposed law effective. The pub
lie would be with them and tipping
would soon be abolished The few
who might insist upon tipping be-
cause they have more money than
they know what to do with would
soon be cried down.
The hotel or restaurant manager
who would take this stand and pub
licly announce it on al his advertis
ing matter would soon be overrun
with business, for it is a reform the
people want. But to institute it these
employers would need to pay their
employees more wages-and that is
the fly in the ointment. The public,
by means of their tips, help to pay
the wages of the employees in restaur-
ants, hotels and such places, and
while the public will do this, employ
ers are 10th to stop them. So that it
is a difficult proposition to get hotel
keepers and restaurant managers to
act together in the matter. But those
who would take the lead would max
big hit, and in the course of time 9th
ers might be induced to follow
Tipping is, as the bin names it, a
nuisance. 1t is also an imposition;
and if one looks at it officially, 1t
has no ground to stand on. For the
tip is of the family of brides and
it lowers the self-respect of the one
who takes it. Every one should lend
his voice in creating a strong public
opinion to back up the measure to
abolish the tip.

Sheriff Wears Gay Creations
to Horse Sale and Has
Bad Luck Again.
BUYS HORSE: 1T ESCAPES
WHETHER IT REFUSED TO STAND
FOR THE "PANTS" OR SCARED
At STONES HURLED At IT, IS
NOT KNOWN.

Sheriff Linus Meredith wore a pair
of striped trousers yesterday to the
Cambridge City horse sale, the same
ones he wore when Frank Townsend
escaped. and which led to his fake ar
rest and mock trial and punishment at
the Elks' lodge, last fall.
1t may have been that the trousers
were responsible for his troubles yes
terday, and it may have been that his
friends were to blame. But. in any
event. an attractive bronco was pur-
chased yesterday by the sheriff. for
$50. While on the block the critter
was a very mild hammered animal. but
when the sheriff attached the shining
wristlets and attempted to tow the
animal to a Jail, which, in the equine
sense, is a stable, two Of Mr.. Meredith's
friends threw stones at the animal and
it kicked all over Cambridge.
Mr. Meredith does not discuss the
incident, but it is said that the animal
secured its freedom. In any event, 1,
was not in Mr.. Meredith's possession
today, according to his friends It Il
probable another mock trial will be
held.

the Alleged Perjury of c.
Cunningham.
SAID TO HAVE MADE
A FALSE AFFIDAVIT
In Respect to Coal Claims,
Which Affidavit BaIIinger
Presented to Garfield, Sep
tember, 1903.
(American News Service)

Washington, March 11.-Whether or
not the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation
committee will take up the matter of
alleged perjury against Clarence Cum
ningham, the agent of the Cunningham
group of Alaskan coal lands, is ques-
tion now under consideration by the
committee. When the committee met
this morning, Attorney Brandeis, who
represents CLAWS, called attention to
the revised statutes on the subject of
perjury and subornation of perjury,
and left the matter for the disposition
of the committee.
This was done in view of the testi-
mony which has been brought out
which tends to show that Clarence
Cunningham made a false affidavit in
respect to coal claims, which affidavit
Ballinger presented to Secretary Gar
field in September, 1903. Ballinger
was then practicing law in Seattle
having left the general land office on
March fourth, 1908. In his affidavit
prepared by the Ballinger law firm
Cunningham swore that none of the
claimants had made any agreement
for transferring their holdings to the
Guggenheim syndicate or any other
corporation.
A. P. Davis, chief engineer of the re
clamatiOn service, was recalled today
He recalled the operation of the ser
vice under Garfield and went over
| most of the wholesale Withdrawals
mad by Garfield for power sites.
Attorney Pepper led the witness along
the line of his work up to the time Bal
linger became secretary of the interior
The witness said on March II, 1909
Ballinger telephoned for him to dis
cuss matters pertaining to his office
Davis said Ballinger criticised the pow
er site Withdrawals and the past con
duct of the reclamation service, claim
in gthey were illegal.
Davis said that Ballinger didn'
show much familiarity with the recla
nation service and expressed lack o
confidence in Director Newells's abil
ity.
Ballinger afterwards directed thu
service to prepare the Withdrawals TO
restoration. Director Newell protest
ed that it was a reversal of the previ
Gus policy of the interior department.
Pepper brought out the importan
fact, that Davis, in making his recon
mendations for the restoration of tn
land withdrawn, was acting on th'
mandatory order of Ballinger.

BUSINESS MEN MEET.

Philadelphia, March 1.-THE Busi-
ness Mems association, representing
twelve hundred members, was in ses-
sion here today to devise a method of
ending the strike. Many firms are
offering their employees a half holiday
and increased pay to induce them not
TO Join the general strike.
With the company obdurate, the po.
lice determined, and the strikers
claiming more gains, the situation
this morning presented an absolute
deadlock. Yesterdays riot, in which
thousands rioted for three miles, from
the ball park down Broad street
scores being injured by the police
mems clubs, has reacted on the com
pany, in the public opinion. Animos
ity to the corporation whose stand
has thrown the entire city into strife
has been increased.
Call Out More Recruits.
Though the day opened peacefully
there was no diminution in the efforts
OF the strikers to call out moro work
ers. At every industrial plant is 8
force Of union pickets, who report con
slant gains. The Baldwin Locomotive
works continued to be the chief center
of interest.
National representatives of the Tex
tile union were active in the north
eastern mill district this morning, ad
dressing meetings Of men and womer
workers who have left the hosiery ant
carpet mills. advising them to stant
firm and the victory will soon b,
theirs.
At the Baldwin plant this morning
Superintendent Vauclain declared tha
the report that 1900 men were OF
strike at his works is exaggerated. Fig
ures presented to him, he said, showet
there were only 2,211 men out.
Superintendent vauclain is very pop
ular with the employees at Baldwin's
| and it is his personality more thai
| anything else that has held the fore
there together.

ner Of grain feeds it is especially i'm
portant that a iudicious selection of
feeds be made, for much loss may re-
suit from this phase Of stable man
agement if you fail to give it proper
attention.
In the first place, it is necessary to
provide good, comfortable, clearly
kept quarters for the horse during the
cold weather, allowing him, of course,
plenty of pure water and then feed
him such foods as he will relish. For
his grain ration for the most part |
prefer oats in preference to corn. OF
course the horse waAts change oc-
casionally, and for this change | some
times give feed of chopped corn and
wheat BRAN but oats are the main grain
ration These, with pure, clean tim
othy hay, will keep the horse in a de-
sirabe, healthy condition and at the
same time keep his muscles hardened
so as to fit him for the next spring and
summers work
