COTTON TRADE PAYS TRIBUTE
Better Banking System Needed to
Give the South Command Of Its
Own Trade-Opering Of Canal viii
Make Epoch in Worlds Commerce.

New York, Nov. 28.-Irving L. Bush,
If the Bush Terminal Company, who
las put millions Of dollars into pier
development on the New York water
front, and who is recognized as an
authority on coast-Wise and overseas
commerce, said before leaving for Eu-
rope that he believed that the greatest
benefit from the opening of the Pan
anna Canal would accrue to the south
ern ports.
The ports of New York" said Mr..
Bush, naturally will gain from the
great expansion Of our trade with the
Orient that will follow the opening
of the Canal, but the southern ports,
especially the ports on the Gulf, like
New Orleans and Galveston, will reap
the greatest benefits.
THE commercial interests Of the
south are looking forward to the
growth of their trade with the open
ing of the Canal, but I do not believe
they fully realize what this coming
re-charting of ocean routes means to
them. The opening of the Suez Canal
marked an epoch in the worlds COM
merce; the opening of the Panama
Canal will mark a greater epoch.
THE south has been making great
strides in our export trade, which now
reaches the enormous total of two bill
lion dollars a year. How few people
realize that, next to New York, the
two greatest shipping ports of the
country are the Gulf ports Of New Or

BETTING BROWN
WILL NOT HANG
BELIEVED THAT THE CONVICTED
MURDERER HAS CHANCE TO ES-
CAPE DEATH PENALTY.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 2S.-Betting
is even at the present time that Gov
ernor Brown, the Crescent township
negro, will not hang as scheduled on
Friday, January 19, for the murder OF
Robert l.. Burks, another negro last
July. Judge Huston who sentenced
Brown, has ordered an immediate
transcript of the case made, for the
purpose of sending it to Governor
Lee Cruce. The governor therefore
will have ample time to act
While the circumstantial evidence
against Brown is strong, so strong in
fact that Judge Huston stated that
he believed the jury did not err in fix
ing the death penalty, yet it is believ-
ed by many that Brown will not hang
on footprint, wagon wheel track and
knee-print evidence. Brown admits
killing Burks, with whom he had quar-
relied several times, but he says he
did it in self defense.
The circumstantial evidence is that
when Brown, driving along a rural
highway near Crescent, learned that
Burks was driving toward him, he
drove from the road into the trees
and brush at the side, hitched his
horse to a tree and then walked to a
deep ditch by the roadside. BY stoop-
ing down, leaning one knee against
the side of the ditch, Brown could not
be seen by Burks while the latter was
passing.
What Circumstances Showed.
/ It is claimed that Brown did kneel
on one knee and that earth showed the
knees imprint afterward. This posi-
tion gave him a steady nerve and
paced him in an excellent position to
make a correct shot. He used a shot
gun. The load went into Burk's head.
Then, according to the circumstantial
evidence. Brown walked back TO the
horse. which he had secreted among
the trees, and drove away to apprise
the authorities that he had killed
Burks in self defense.
Brown maintained, even after sen
fenced to hang. that he acted in self
defense That he met Burks in the
road, was threatened, and that he
shot to save himself. Brown believes
he will be hange1 and asked that the
sentence be carried out Immediately.
He has selected Deputy Elmer Spen-
Ger to spring the trap. 1t is generally

leas and Galveston. They far outstrip
the ports of Boston and Philadelphia.
1t is our wonderful trade in cotton
that has placed the south in such q
commanding position in our export
trade. We are selling abroad every
year close to half a billion dollars
worth of the souths great staple. Cot
ton is the bulwark of our export trade.
But the south cannot reap the full
benefit from It's export trade and from
the opening of the Panama Canal so
long as it continues to be dependent
upon outside financial centers for the
financing of its trade.
Every pound Of cotton that Is
shipped today from the south pays its
tribute to the London banker, either
directly or through New York. One
of our leading international bankers
said at New Orleans, last week, that
the United States paid hundreds OF
millions of dollars 4 year tribute to
foreign bankers for financing our for
egn trade. A good share of this
tribute is paid by the south.
The whole country needs a more
modern banking system to finance our
So. 500. 100000 of foreign commerce. 1t
is time we stopped paying tribute to
Europe for doing work that we ought
to do ourselves for our own prot;t.
But the south, more than any other
section of the country, and especially
in view of the expansion of southern
commerce that will come with the
opening OF the Canal, is in need of a
better banking system.
'I do not mean to say that the south
has not strong sound banks that com
pare most favorab!y with the banks
of the rest of the country. Nor do
I mean to say that the banking prog
ress IN the south has not kept pace
with southern business. In fact, there
mas betn Il III INV
souths banking resources in recent
years. In the past ten years, while
the deposits of tn banks of the whole
country have gained 116 per cent,
those of the south have gained 24l
per cent. or more than twice as much.
Southern bank deposits have increas-
ed since 1900 from $375,OO0,OOO to
5000 100000.
"But, what the south needs-and
this is what the whole country needs
is cooperation between the banks
that will enable them to do the work
that foreign bankers now do in fl
nancing American commerce.
CAS- a business man interested in
our foreign trade, have a special in
terest in banking reform that will
place us on a par with the nations
of Europe in handling the credit trans.
actions that control the overseas COM
merce of the world"
