IS READY FOR
WRIT FIGHT
Habeas Corpus Move to Free
Negro in Phagan Case Due
to Start Monday.

Habeas corpus proceedings in be-
half OF Newt Lee, negro night watch
man at the National Pencil Factory,
were promised Monday by the negro's
attorney, Bernard L. Chappen Set
tlement of this phase Of the Phagan
murder mystery will determine def
nitely the status OF the negro.
II is known that the State regards
Lee as a material witness in building
up its case against Frank. The atti-
tude OF Mr.. Chappell is that his client
knows no more about he crime than
he already has told, and should there
fore be freed. Lee has told the de-
tectives nothing which links any man
directly with the crime BY the de-
Tense, his story is held to point to the
guilt Of Leo Frank no more than to
the guilt Of Conley.
The State, however. will fight any
effort to give the negro his liberty.
Solicitor Dorsey fears that Lee viii
get out Of the jurisdiction OF the
court once he is permitted his free
dom.
The battle over Lee IL the only out
ward sign OF activity In the Phagan
case either by the defense or the
prosecution, but II is known that the
defense is busily engaged completing
Its case. one new witness was in
terviewed Saturday by Franks law
yers, and his affidavit taken before
notary public. A strong net is being
woven about Conley The nature u
the testimony is being kept secret, but
II is known that the defense expects
to free Frank by showing that II was
Conley who committed the crime. The
negro is said to be enmeshed in the
testimony In the hands OF the defense
Despite rumors OF another post
ponement, attorneys for the defense
and prosecution said Monday that they
would be ready to so ahead with the
case at the time set for trial July
rs. and that they knew OF no reason
for further delay.

PLANTERS FIGHT
TAX ON COTTON
EXCHANGES
Declare Present Scheme Would
Deliver Price-MakiDg Power
Into England's Hands.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Southern
planters are protesting to the Senate
Finance Committee against the pro-
vision in the tariff bill taxing cotton
exchange dealers .O5 per cent.
This provision was inserted in the
tariff bill by Senator Simmons to meet
the demand that there shall cease ali
gambling In cotton futures and on
margins. 1t resulted from attempts to
corner the cotton market made by
spectators on the New York Cotton
Exchange.
The planters contend that with such
tax, amounting to about so cents
bale Of cotton, no exchange can con-
tinue tc &C business. The planters
are opposed to the New York Elk
change, but they want the New Or
leans and other Southern cotton ex-
changes to continue.
Defend South's Exchange.
In this argument they present it is
held that the New Orleans Exchange
and other Southern exchanges are
bullish on the cotton market and seek
10 hold the price to the advantage Of
changes make actual deliveries.
The New York Exchange IS friendly
TO the spinners and is bearish. its
purpose being to depress the price of
cotton. 1t makes no actual delivery
but serves the spinners for their flu
ture needs. Its business is done
through the interchange of purchase
and sale notes.
Gives Power to England.
With the wiping out of the cotton
exchange in this country, the cotton
exchange at Liverpool, also bearish.
Will take command Of the cotton mar
ket and fix the price just as the sugar
market price is fixed in Holland.
1t is contended that through the
proposed tax a great injustice would
be done the cotton growers who are
now laboring under the DISADVANTAGE
or competition with Egyptian cotton.
which Is of high grade and commands
a better price than Southern cotton.
Egyptian cotton. which needs salt
air, Is being grown in the reclaimed
lands OF Salton Sea, California. and
II Is an active competitor of the
southern cotton, which is short or

President Wilson has mapped out the
following program of rest and recre-
alton while here: He will sleep nine
hours, golf in the morning, clear up
correspondence at noon, auto with
his family later and spend evenings
reading. In that way he hopes to

these are the selection Of the federal

Letting the federal reserve board it is
believed he will employ the same pro
cess he used in selecting his cabinet.
1t is thought there will not he any
nominations until the sixty days al
lowed by law have about expired
In drafting the address it is thought
the president will lay stress on the
increasing desire ofbusiness men to
reorganize their concerns in conform
ity with the Sherman law. A recon-
menGation to put in force an inter
state trade commission is also be-
lievcd likely. This commission would
not have regulatory powers but would
merely be a bureau of information
and investigation assisting the courts
by observing whether dissolution de-
crees are actually obeyed. The pres
ident expects to deliver an address
Immediately after the holidays prob
ably Jan. 10, after canvassing the

AFTER THE DRUGLESS
DOCTORS IS ST. PETE

Nine chiropractors or drugIess doc
tors have been arrested here as a re-
suit of campaign of medical doc
tors to drive the members of the new
school out of the State. Attorney j.
S. Mullen, prosecutor of Pinellas
county, Swore out the warrants de-
spite the fact that a new law gives
the chiropractors the right to prac-
ticc in this State without license.
Each gave 500 bond and the trials
were set for some time in January.
Those under arrest will defend them
selves on the ground that they are
not practicing medicine at all, since
thev use no drugs. The medical men
say that anyone who gives treatment
for disease and accepts remuneration
therefor is practicing medicine.
