Early Rise Is Lost.
COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. May 24.-The cotton mar
ket opened at q decline of point on May,
which was Influenced by a few notices,
but generally unchanged to points
higher. The weather map was consid-
cred favorable on the official forecast.
but rumors that the National Ginners As
ISOLATION would issue a bullish report
either tomorrow or Monday evidently
caused q good deal Of covering for over
the week end, and there was also some
buying by trade interests. The May no
tees were said to be soon absorbed, and
the market was firm on quite furry or
buying. with prices about 10 to II points
net higher on the active months. Liver
pool was about as due. The English mar
ket will be closed tomorrow. also Monday,
Friday and Saturday of next week.
The market was less active late in the
forenoon. Offerings seemed to be a little
heavier some 10 or II points above the
closing figures of yesterday, but prices
eased off only or 4 points from the nest
and the market at midday was steady
and about to points net higher. Buying
by houses with Memphis connections
tended to confirm an impression that the
report of the National Ginners Associa-
ton would make a bullish showing, but
il was claimed that no figures would be
available until tomorrow or Monday.

SAY NEITHER CANDIDATE
HAS ENOUGH DELEGATES
Members of Republican Com
mittee in Chicago Discuss
Probable Lineup.

CHICAGO, May A.-Those members Of
the republican national committee who
were in Chicago today discussed among
themselves the probable lineup OF the
temporary roll call of delegates in the
convention in the contest between Taft
and Roosevelt. and the opinion was ex-
pressed that neither candidate would
have the $40 instructed votes necessary
to nominate
They agreed that the control OF the
convention would be in the hands OF the
uninstructed delegates, but would vouch-
safe no guess as to what the action OF
this class might be.
A supporter Of Taft on the committee
declared that even II Roosevelt won all
the delegates yet to be chosen he still
would be short OF the necessary $40 votes.
Test on Adopting Report.
It is expected that the first real test
vote between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces will be on the adoption of the re-
port Of the committee on credentials. 1t
is believed that every contest passed
upon by the national committee will be
taken before the committee on credentials
and fought out on the floor OF the con-
yention. The makeup OF this committee
vfded and majority and minority reports,
lit Is said. are almost certain to be pre-
scented.
The members Of the national commit
tee who have considered the matter do
not expect q fight to be made on the Sc
lection Of Elihu Root as temporary chair
man.

Wire Concerns Cut From 40

STEEL HEARING TESTIMONY
Witness Then Modifies Statement
Under Cross-Examination.
ASKED ABOUT COMPETITION
Met With No Uniform Practices
When Merged Companies Were
Sold to Corporation.

NEW YORK, May 2.-John Stevenson,
jr. of Sharon. Pa. who told yesterday
how he profitably sold his steel plants to
the interests that organized the United
States Steel Corporation, was recalled to
the stand today for further cross-exami-
nation at the continuation Of the hearings
in the federal suit to dissolve the cor
poration.
r. v. Lindabury, attorney for the steel
corporation. questioned a statement Of the
witness that competition in the wire trade
during the sos had reduced the number
of wire plants from 46 to Z.
Are you sure" he was asked. that
there were only seven left when you
sold out your wire concern to John w.
Gates In 1892"
We'll, there might have been some
who were doing a peanut business. said
the witness. "but when it came to real
business these concerns weren't in it,
The witness conceded. later. however.
that there were several strong concerns
which he had overlooked that ought to
have been included
when you came back from Europe
you organized the Sharon Steel Com
pany"
Yes"
No Attempt to Keep Him Out.
There was no attempt to keep you
from going into business?''
mo suppression whatever; nothing like
that
Mr.. Lindabury asked about competitive
conditions In the steel trade during the
two years previous to 1908. when the
merged Sharon and Union Steel CON-
panies were sold to the steel corpora
ton.
Ibid you meet with any unfair prac-
tees during that period?''
mo, sir; Frank Baackes and the rest
Of the crowd had all got religion"
Stevenson stated that overtures for the
sale had been made by the merged
company and not by the United States
Steel Corporation.
II wanted to sell because I was hard
up. If I'd had 1900. 900 to operate the
plant I never would have sold"
Did the steel corporation obtain a
monopoly in the products manufactured
by the Union-Sharon Steel Company
when 1t took that company over?"
If they had been as strong as that I
couldn't have existed" replied the wit
ness.

THE JEFFERGONIAN

McLendon was Wctimized for no other rea-
son than that Smith and his Journal wanted
to lay on the shoulders Of some one the respon-
sibility for Smiths failure to keep his cam
paign pledge.
X y
I certainly hope that my friends in John
son County will not send Stevens back to the
Legislature
He is one Of the members who refused to
allow the people to have voice in the cleo
ton of u. S. Senator
Stevens voted for Hog it-all Smith. He
knew quite well that he misrepresented john
son County when he did so.
Give him his medicine, boys.
He went back on you in Atlanta, and he has
no right to expect you to forget it.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-06-27

allow the special favors which Smith sought
for his clients.
Governor Joseph M Brown was one Of
those Commissioners
Pope Brown, as / remember was another
and Smith voted for him for Governor last
year.
Warner Hill was another of those Commits
sioners and Smith appointed him to the SUI
preme Court, year ago.
In the Macon platform Of 1906, the longest
plank is the one which demands san imme-
diate reduction" of freight rates on all com
modities going to, and coming from, our sea-
ports, Savannah and Brunswick, mainly.
Smith had pitched his campaign on this
leading issue, the reduction of freight rates.
Smith stated, again and again, that the
transportation companies qOere r065iog the
people Of Georgia, to the epto1et Of 100000
a gear.
Smith vowed, in stentorian voice, that if he
were elected Governor, he would reduce all
freight rates especially the seaport rates
and save us that 100000.
After he was inaugurated, he forgot all
about his most vehement campaign pledge.
The whole of his first year in office passed,
without single effort to reduce freight rates,
So we lost the 100000 again in 1908.
Then Smith entered upon his second year.
and we began again to lose that 81, 100000.
Not word had Smith to say on the subject.
With a servile Legislature on his hands, he
could have done what Missouri and Alabama
had done, under Governors Hadley and
Conner: he could have got us lower freight
rates by legislative enactment.
But he made no attempt to do so.
When his second year was almost out, Clark
Howell hoped on him, and jeered at him
about his utter failure to even try to redeem
his pledge as to seaport rates.
Thereupon, Smith did a characteristic
thing.
he grabbed has old petition IN favor Of the
Beck Gregg Hardware Conapa1oy ct al. and
laid 1t before the COMMISSIONS
He knew that the Commission could not
possibly grant the special favors applied for
by those Atlanta jobbers.
He hneaO that the Commission would be
compelled to refuse the petitioners
But he wanted a scape-goat and he had Sc
lected Guyt McLendon, who was the ac-
knowledged head of the Railroad Commits
sion.
Although a majority Of the Commission
voted against the Beck Gregg petition, Smith
singled out McI4endon, and attacked him
alone, with savage vindictiveness that has
never been surpassed.
BY q majority of one vote, McLendon was
expelled from his office; and the man qoho
cast that cote qoas condemned at the nept
election By has oaon people,
| refer to Galloway, of Wilkes County
McLendon is superbly fitted for the position
of Railroad Commissioner.
His knowledge of everything pertaining to
the service is wonderful. He is in the prime
of life, and can do more work than any three
ordinary workers can turn out.
