Future Winner

The following is copied from Flel6
and Fancy-a sporting paper publish
ed in New York:
Dainty Betty, Mrs. Avis chocolate
Pom, has not only proven herself one
OF our best American breds and a
good and consistent winner at some
fthe best shows, but breeder as
well, having presented her mistress
with two jet black dog puppies. Betty
was born on Christmas day, 1908, and
was never shown as puppy, her first
show being the Bellevue -Stratford ex-
hibition, December 2S, 1900, winning
first under Mr.. Oldham.
Her next appearance al an A. K. {.
show was at Mneola, 1910, under Mr..
Marston. Her record at eight shows
of thirteen firsts, three seconds, three
thirds, one winners, two reserve Win
ners and eight specials is an enviable
one, and now that she has proven a
breeder and a devoted mother hei
value is greatly enhanced. The sire
OF these puppies is Mrs. Ralph c..
Stewards winning shaded sable, Offley
Sun Dew, by the famous champion
Off'ey Honey Dew, lately purchased
from Mrs. L. Dennis by Mr.. r. Carr,
owner of the Home Farm Kennels. Of
England. Sun Dew has quite few
winners points to hic credit, and
should continue, as he is fine bodied
Pom, short, compact, with good coat,
head, perfectly carried ears and plume
but more to his credit is his ability to
sire good small stock, Sandy Lynd,
Mrs. Keim's beautiful winning sable
dog puppy at the ate Poreraniun
speciality show. being one OF his sons,
and others coming on. Sun Dew is
rich in chs Sable Atom. Sable Mite,
and Nanky Poo blood, and, being a
little over two years old, has many
years OF usefulness before him. An
other fine little Pom bitch that has a
litter by him is Mrs. Frank Smyth's
Goldlocks, who IS not only New
York. w. K. c. show winner but one
OF three winners, al! bred by this well
known fancier, to win outright Mrs.
Avis Princess Katherine trophy that
had to be won by the same owner
three times with different dogs. Among
them the beautiful little sable dog,
Banner Nabob, should add many more
wins to his already fine record,

BROWN BULLS COTTON.
Cotton Leader Says He Doesn't Know
How High Old Crop Will Go.

New Orleans, May 23.--W. p.
Brown, the well known bull leader in
cotton, one of the first to predict 16
cents for the summer months Of this
season, is once more a daily visitor
on the cotton exchange, and the gos-
sip Of the floor is that he has an ac-
tive interest in the market. He seems
to have almost completely recovered
from his recent illness, which was
the cause Of his return to his home
here from New York, where, during
the winter, he was engaged in large
operations in the cotton market
there.
From his utterances since he left
his sick bed. Mr.. Brown has not
changed his attitude toward cotton.
He is as bullsh as ever. Today he
said:
Back in harness again and well

but famine ahead. and not only

Washington, May 24.-President
Taft denied the applications for the
pard IN of Charles W. NJ orse, Of New
York, and John r. Walsh, of Chicago
the two most prominent bankers ever
convicted and sent to Fe 1eral prisons
under the national banking laws. Not
only did the President refuse to par
don either Of them, but he refused
to extend any sort Of Executive elem
ency.
In denying the pardons the Presi-
dent took a firm stand that the
banking laws, or any laws, must be
upheld when they affect the rich man
even more than when they affect the
poor. The record in the Walsh case,
the President said in an opinion,
shows moral turpitude of the insid-
ious kind, to punish which the ma
tional banking law was enacted.
In the case of Morse the President
said that from a consideration Of the
facts in the case. II have no doubt
that Morse should have received a
heavier sentence tn an Walsh. Indeed,
the methods taken by Morse tend to
show that more ksenly than Walsh
did he realize the III of what he was
doing"
In mi IL,
the President protested against the
failure to discriminate against legiti-
mate business. 1.-The truth is" he
said. that conditions are such that a
mad rush for wealth is being made
and the interest Of the pubic should
emphasize the breaches Of trust"
The L .'asident's denial of the par
don applications of Morse and Walsh
does not mean that they must stay in
prison until the end of their terms.
Walsh began a sentence of five years
prison, and under the Federal parole
law is eligible for parole next Sep
tember. the Presidents action tonight
having no bearning whatever upon
the future application for parole.
Morse began his fifteen year term in
the Atlanta prison in January, 1910,
also. II denying his application the
President granted leave to renew it
after January I. 1918 Under The la
role law Morse Will he eligible Tor
release in 1915.
