AFTER THE SHORTS.
Senator Smith Succeeds In Forcing
Passage Of important Resolution.

Washington, April 29.-"The inves-
tigation into the purchases of cotton
which Attorney General Wickersham
Is concluding has cost the American
people nearly $40,000,000."
So asserted Senator Smith of South
Carolina in the senate today.
He was making a speech In the
hope of persuading the senate to
adopt the resolution directing the at
torney general to ascertain the names
of the persons who sold the cotton to
the New York pool.
Mr.. Smith said that whereas only
$40 100000 worth of manufactured
goods had been exported last year,
Sc 100000 worth Of raw cotton had
been sent abroad. This year the cot
ton expectation. he declared, would be
about 100000.
THE attorney general is investigat-
ing the sales of spot cotton. / want
him to investigate the sellers-to find
out who were engaged in trying to
put down the price. / want him to
inquire as to the gentlemen who got
together and sold the cotton without
it to sell. His investigation, so far as
it has gone, has depressed the price
to the extent Of a cent pound, to-
tai cost to the people at large of $4O,-
OOO. 900. Let him extend the inquiry
so as to show the real facts"
Speaking sarcastically, Mr. Smith
said:
IF the attorney general must con-
duct an investigation, let him investi-
gate the chief Of the weather bureau
for bringing on the recent frost, and
If that is not conclusive, let him go
higher and investigate Jehovah him.
self for running the cotton crop Of the
present season."
He went on:
II believe, and the south believes,
that this interference at this time Is
for the specific purpose of relieving
certain bears on the cotton market"
He declared Vaccinations on the
stock exchange were in the interest
of foreign buyers.
He said, on account of the scarcity
of seed, it would be impossible to
plant more than 65 per cent Of the
average cotton crop for the present
year.
The resolution was adopted. 1t d.
rects the attorney general to inquire
as to the names of the party or par
ties or corporations that sold the cot
ton alleged to have been bought by
pool of purchasers, who are now un-
der investigation by the department
of Justice" also as to the prices,
whether or not they owned the cot
ton at the time of the sale thereof; and

Senator Clay introduced a bill pro-
hibiting the transmission by mail, tel

to have the verdict set aside on tn,
ground that the jurors had been allow

Judge Hough adhered t. tn" custom
of keeping the jurors together in

reading of the newspapers:
