GOVERNORS COUNSEL
COMPLETELY COMPOUNDED

The governors attorneys gave indica-
tions of being completely confounded by
the testimony of these two witnesses.
None of them had the faintest inkling, it
was learned. that such accusations were
to be brought by the attorneys for the
assembly managers.
1t was further brought out that Richard
Croker, Jr., son of the former leader of
Tammany Hall. had contributed a $1,000
check, payable, at the request of Sulzer
to the order of cash. and that tho
check was cashed by Frederick l.. Col

agent in his Wall street transactions.
Croker testified that the governor wanted
the check in a convenient form, to cash
it Immediately. because he was in hurry

This was on October iG but it was de-
yeoped that Colwell did not cash the
check until October 81.

COMPROMISE SURE
ON TAX ON FUTURES
Many Protests on Clarke
Amendment Received
SENTIMENT CHANGES
Senator Bankhead Confers With At
torney General McReynolds, But
No Decision as to Appoint
ments Has Been Made
Rx G. Il. sTEwART

Washington. September 26.-tSpecial)
That the Clarke cotton futures tax is
practically certain to be modified in ac-
eordance with the Smith-Lever amend
ment, becomes evident from the express
sions and the change of sentiment against
the cotton tax which have grown rapidly
in the last few days.
kilograms and letters from the cotton
belt are partly, if not entirely, RESPONSE
BILE for the willingness of the Senate
conferees to recede from their hitherto
unalterable position.
1t is regarded as practically certain that
if given the oportunity to voice its con-
vietions, the House will go strongly on
record as being opposed to the prohibitive
tax I'm the Clarke amendment, but will
stand for law to force the cotton ex-
changes to make an honest contract. Ii
is highly probable that the Smiti-Lever
plan of requiring the cotton exchanges to
adopt the government standard grades
and penalizing upon failure to deliver
ed, will be adopted.
Protests against the cotton futures
amendment come not only from mill men
and cotton buyers alk over the south, but
from farmers as well.
Senator Bankhead called on Attorney
General McReynolds today, and they had
an hours conference over the candidates
for district attorney for the middle dis
trct and other Alabama offices. No defi-
mite conclusion was reached, and the
senator expects to see the Attorney Cen
eral again next Tuesday.
Governor O'Neal is in Washington to-
day, stopping over here on his way to
Alabama from New York. He called at
the White House but was too late to see
the President, who had gone out for the
afternoon. The governor will leave for
Alabama tomorrow night.

Hearing Adiourns Until Monday


Washington, September 26-Witf enough
witnesses desiring to be heard to con-
sumo two or three weeks of time and re-
quests for hearings on the administra-
ton currency bill still coming in. the SEN
ate committee today adjourned until Mon
day. Today had been set for hearing pro-
tests of New England bankers against
provisions of the currency bill The com
mittee will resume on Monday with a
continuation of the examination of Sam
.uel Untermyer, who spent a part of two
days before the committee this week
The hearings up to date have developed
wide range OF disagreement among
members of the committee. So divergent
ere the views expressed in the examina-
ton of witnesses that some members be-
lieve the committee will be unable to
agree upon a bill along the lines of the
administration. If the disagreements con-
tinue 1t is possible that the views OF bank
ers and business men from all over the
country will be considered. and an at
tempt will be made to report the bill to
the Senate without recommendation.
In this event a series of minority re
ports probably would accompany the
measure each condemnng different pro-
visions or suggesting different changes.
Although scores of requests are being
received from prospective witnesses for
an opportunity to be heard Chairman
Owen said today the hearings could be
