WALL STREET ASSAILED
Beall Bill Against Cotton Brokers
Up in House.

tFrom The Tribune's Correspondent
Washington, July 13.-Pursuing it's re-
Gently formed habit of considering legisla-
tion under special rules devised by Will
ing rules committee, the House to-day made
privileged the Beall bill to prohibit gam
bling in cotton futures. The time allotted
for debate was consumed mainly by South
ern Democrats. who assaled Wall Street
and "the cotton gamblers
Mr.. Rucker, Democrat, Of Colorado,
charged bad faith against those behind the
Bean bill prohibiting dealing in cotton fut-
ures and he waged such determined tight
on the measure that he forced an adjourn
ment. Mr.. Rucker declared he had the as
surance of the leaders that he would have
an opportunity TO offer his amendment in
cluding in the measure wool and all food
products"
The Beall I'LL is practically identical with
tine Scott anti-option measure, which passed
the House In the 6lst Congress but failed
in the Senate. 1t prohibits any person from
sending or causing TO be sent by telegraph
or telephone a message relating to con-
tract for the sale or purchase OF cotton. un-
less the actual receipt and delivery of that
commodity is intended. Telephone and tele-
graph companies are forbidden, under
heavy penalties, TO transmit messages re-
relating TO what are commonly termed
futures and which do not concern cotton
actually handled or delivered.
Cotton exchanges vigorously opposed the
legislation before the House Committee on
Agriculture, but IL has the practically
unanimous support of all members from the
cotton growing states.
