Thornton, Feb. 14.-About a dozen
of the farmers cooperative societies

nothing but troubles. and out of this
they hope to unravel some of the diff

At this meeting II Of the tangles is
in keeping members of societies from
patronizing outside concerns when they
are paying higher prices. This Is par
ticularly true in selling stock. The
Rockwell Farmers Cooperative So
ciety is one of the most profitable OF
all. and has existed for a quarter or a
century and it attributes It's success
mostly from the fact that they have
demanded that farmers who are mem :
bers of their society when they sell To
other concerns than their own. must
pay into the treasury of their concern
so much for every bushel of grain and
SO much for livestock. If any m

Attorney General Prepared Statement
Defending His Connection With
Telephone Co.. but Cleveland
Did Not Give u Out.

The greatest embarrassment and
the chief annoyance to which Mr..
Cleveland was compelled to submit
after he became president In 1885
were due to the very vigorous and ap-
parently plausible attempt to involve
his attorney general. Augustus H.
Garland of Arkansas. In some kind Of
pecuniary scandal In connection with
an attempt to organize an independent
telephone company based upon de-
vices said to have been invented by
another than Prof. Alexander Graham
Bell
There was no man in the cabinet
for whose integrity and ability Mr..
Cleveland had a higher regard. There
were three men whom Cleveland took
from the United States senate to
serve in his first cabinet-Thomas F.
Bayard, as secretary OF state; l.. Q.
G. Lamar as secretary OF the interior,
and Senator Garland, as attorney gen.
eral. Like Senator Vest Of Missouri.
Senator Garland had served In the
Confederate upper house before he
was elected to the United States sen
ate. Mr. Cleveland was very fond OF
listening to certain of Mr.. Garland 9

a member of the Confederate senate.

general as large measure of his con
fldence as he ever gave to any man,
with perhaps one or two exceptions.
Then of a sudden was exploded the
scandal-so-called-0 the telephone
company. involving, apparently, tbs
attorney general. Mr.. Cleveland was
greatly distressed. His confidence in
Senator Garland was not shaken, but
he felt as II there ought to be a COM
plete denial and one which could not
be questioned, since 1t was essential
that his administration should begin
without a faint OF any scandal
The matter was discussed at sew
eral cabinet meetings. Mr.. Garland in
sisting that his connection with the
company, such as 1t was, was absO-
lutely defensible. that there was no
faint attached to 1t.

should be some statement coming
from you which may put an end to
these scandals. VIII you prepare a
statement of that kindT
