COTTON Market PLAYS SAFE.
WAITS FOR FIRST KILLING
FROST IN SOUTH.
The War in the Balkans Will act
as Balancing Feature Against Pos
sible Frost

New Orleans. Oct. 13.-The cotton
market promises to be more or less
waiting affair until the first killing
frost of the season is reported over
the cotton belt.
This week the trade will hang anx-
iously on weather news and the first
sign Of colder weather will bring in
the buying orders.
AS a balancing feature against pos
sible frost will be the war in the Bal
kans. Complications there are feared
by all the markets Of the world and
probably the uncertainty over the sit
uatiOn would have more telling effect
on cotton but for the approach of the
killing frost date. Further declaration

effect on prices, but bears will be able
to push the advantages because Of

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 11.-An ultima

strike Of trainmen and conductors
will be called unless the roads cease
at once their reputed aiding of the
Georgia 'ilroad and the Atlanta
Termi' mpany in moving freight.
The . IN was the result of two
aseN.gs here today Of chairmen of
' trainmen and conductors, for the
drpose of investigating alleged vio-
lations of the neutrality agreement"
existing between the unions and the
various railroads. Settlement of the
Georgia railroad strike, it is said. de-
pends only on action to be taken by
the terminal company in regard to
the reinstatement Of the 46 men who
struck in sympathy with the Georgia
railroad trainmen and conductors. c.

lanta G. West Point railroad and
chairman Of the terminal board. who
has been in conference today with
Chas. P. Neill, the federal government
mediator, stated late today that none
of the new men will be discharged to
make places for those who went on
strike. 1t was reported, however,
that number Of the strikebreakers
had given up their places and left the
city.
For the first time since the strike

ROOSEVELT SAYS DINEEN LIED.
Charges Illinois Governor Friend
And Ally OF LOrimer."

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Governor Di-
neen, of Illinois, was accused by Col.
Roosevelt today Of deliberate and
wilful perversions Of the truth" Col.
Roosevelt characterized the Governor
as the friend and ally of Lorimer."
The Coloners statement, in part,
follows:
Mr.. Dineen has now seen fit to as
sail me by deliberate and wilful per-
version Of the truth. Mr.. Dineen SAYS
that l asked him to limit his resoIu-
ton concerning the contests to thirty,
four Of them.
He continues by saying that had
all of those thirty four contests b,sen
decided in favor of me l would still
have been in the minority.
This is falsehood. l had no pri-
vate dealings with Mr.. Dineen during
the Chicagfio Convention. During that
convention 1 became convinced Of his
shutting and double dealing. / grew
to feel very hearty contempt for
him and entirely to mistrust his sim
cerity and loyalty to the peoples
cause.
Mr.. Dineen, when he utters false
hood, should cultivate his memory.
He continues by saying that had all
OF those thirty four contests been de-
cided for me, / would still have
been in the minority. Mr.. Taft was
nominated by 81 majority and the
change OF "a votes. therefore. would
have put him in the minority.
Mr.. Dineen knows this perfectly
well and he is trading on the short
memory of the people when he tries
to assert that the contrary is true.
My attention has been called to
testimony Mr.. Dineen gave before the
Senate investigating committee. of
which was ignorant. and which CON
clusiNcly shows that Governor Dineen
was friend ard ally of Lorimer. sug-
gested to Lorimer that Lorimer elect
himself to the senate and formed a
defensive allia" G with Lorimer in the
city Of Chicago.
Seemingly, Governor Dineen has
only changed nov the extent that his
alliance with NJ. Lorimer is not only
defensive, but offensive.
/ wish u caN tie attention Of the
people of Illinois To the fact that Gov
ernor Dineen has made false state
ments to buttress his position and has
ais" made admissions about his ac-
uons with Lorimer, which shows that
he is UNIT to ccupy any position of
trust in the Government"
