Sized Him Ip as a Bull

Nj. Worten said the operators sized
him up as a bull while he turned out to
be bear. During the seven weeks opera
tions he secured perfect corner on the
New Orleans market. He was little
known, SO from all parts of the world
came messages asking who that Worten
person was that had tied up the cotton
of the country He was alleged to be
from Athens, Ga, and when that city
turned him down he called attention To
the fact that he was from Athens, Ala.
He could easily have placed the price
of cotton TO 81, he said, but the plans to
deliver him all the spot cotton that he
purchased caused him to start liquidat-
ing and he showed the prices down again
His story related in the parlanee of the
cotton exchange was theard yesterday by
many Of the leading cotton men of this
community who were we'll informed that
some influence at New Orleans was shoot
ing the market like the rapids at Niagara.
He said yesterday that he was very proud
of what he done. For one thing he said
that an Alabama man secured the first
real corner down there in some time and
he also indicated to the operators in that
section that any man with gray matter
could drop in and get away with some
of the loose money at New Orleans
Accompanied by Son
Mr.. Worten was accompanied by his
son through Birmingham yesterday who
is an Auburn man. 1t appears that none
of the operators suspected the dappef
young chap that was on the floor all the
time while the excitement was on and he
was able to operate with his father to the
greatest possible satisfaction of the firm
The final climax came, Mr.. Worten said
when he entered the exchange at the
lunch hour and caught all the big opera
tors out to lunch He stated a selling
movement without momend delay and
then hedged and finally. he says the OPP
orators came trooping back. Before they
could handle the unusual situation Mr..
Worten had placed Athens on the map
ano also 100000 or more In his bank net.
Mr.. Worten is a brother-in-law of w.
n. Malone of this city.

DELAY ON FRANK
HEARING SEEMS
UNAVOIDABLE
Dorsey Can Not Tell if He Will
Be Ready by Saturday, and
ROsser Says Nothing,

Postponement of the hearing of
the motion next Saturday for new
trial for Leo NJ Frank, convicted of
the murder of Mary Phagan, ap-
peared certain Monday. according to
information from various authorita-
tive sources.
The probabilities Of the motion be-
ing heard before Judge Roam. the
trial judge, were as much in doubt
as ever, despite the fact that Judge
Roam has expressed desire to see
the case disposed of before he re-
tires from the bench, as well s the
desire of Solicitor General Dorsey to
have Judge Roam hear the motion.
However, the unexpected may hap
pen. Judge Hill may not relinquish
his place on the Court of Appeals
bench until the Frank motion has
been heard il is said, as a result OF
his expressed hesitancy to hear the
motion for new trial in a case with
which, from a strictly legal stand
point. he is entirely unfamiliar.
A postponement is regarded as
certain. in view of an informal state

he had not heard one word from the

Mr. Dorsey. ito have the case ready
by October 4. but this depends en-

should the papers, for instance
contain matter attacking iurymen,
which would require the summOning
of witnesses perhaps from various
parts of the State, then the possibili-
ties Of getting ready on schedule are
slight.
"All | can say is that I simply can
not tell at this time whether | can

declared Monday he had nothing to

Banks, banking firms and trust
companies that do a foreign business
will be requested to aid the work
by supplying in strict confidence, of
course, the amount sent abroad by
them for various purposes germane
to this investigation.
The Government issues exhaustive
statistics covering our foreign trade
in merchandise and bullion, but il
throws no light on the huge pay
ments made to foreign shipping com
panies on the amount spent by tour
lists, and by American residents
abroad, on our annual bill for divi-
dends and interest to oversee holders
of our securities, or on the sum remit
ted by foreigners
Did America not have to meet so
serious a drain, she would. bv her

ports, gradually reduce her billions Of
Indebtedness to European nations.
one thought tOrcibly impressed
upon the mind by consideration Of
our international bdldnce-sheet is
that it beHOOCes oar manufacturers
to cast their coats and fGht for q
larger share of the WOrId'S custom
so as to make as more Self-SUp-
porting.
With our constant and rapid
growth in population. it is not
expected that our agricultural ex
ports will expand The general be-
lief is that they will dwindle out of
sight-a view l can not share, for
once our farmers are given proper
credit facilities and rise to the
height of their possibilities they will,
| believe, astonish the world.
Meanwhile, the new tariff should
help many lines of industry to COM
pete more effectively in foreign
markets, a step that will be necessary
to compensate for the loss of dOmes-
tic business that the lower tariff
charges will entail.
The following table shows the
total value of our merchandise inn
ports and exports for The last twenty
years. along with the annual balance
in merchandise and also in gold and
silver shipments. II should be noted
that the United States has produced
about $500, 900 900 worth of silver and
$500, ,O0O. 600 worth of gold during the

LIKELY To
LOSE FIGHT ON
EXTRACTION
Friend Says Governor Will Honor
Requisition-Case Slated for
Highest Courts.

CONCORD, y. H, Sept. ga man
very close to Governor Felker said
to-day the New Hampshire Execu-
tive undoubtedly would honor the
requisition of New York authorities
for Harry X. Thaw, the escaped Mat
teawan fugitive.
Governor Felker. the informant
said, after exhaustive study of all
statutes and precedents having any
possible bearing on the subject, would
concede the contention of William
Travers Jerome that the eXtradition
papers, being in regular form, should
be honored irrespective of other as
poets of the case.
Both Sides Plan Appeal.
This mean that Harry Thaw's fight
for liberty, which already has been
fought in the courts of New York,
New Hampshire and Canada, will now
go to the United Sattes courts. In
anticipation of possible defeat in the
extradition and New Hampshire court
proceedings, Harry Thaw's counsel
had the foresight to sue out a writ
of habeas corpus in the United States
courts.
The hearing. which was delayed at
the request of Thaw's counsel, now
Will proceed, anu since DOlu SlutS
have expressed their intention to ap-
peal in the event of defeat, it is al
most assured that the famous case
will be fought out through the high
est courts in the United States.
Scene to Shift to Boston.
Governor Felker will eXtradite
Thaw, his decision will be a Conven-
tional one" declared a member of the
Governors Council to-day. This
must not be taken as coming officially
from Governor FellSer, but only as my
personal opinion based on an inti-
mate knowledge of the probabilities,
an opinion which / believe will be
borne out by developments within the
next few days"
The Informant expressed the gem
eral belief voiced about the Granite
State Capitol. The effect of Cover
nor Felker's granting extradition pa
pers would be to throw the case into
the Federal courts, transferring the
scene from this city to Boston.

By B. c. FORBES, Business Editor.

The United States is getting
deeper into the debt of Europeans
every year Notwithstanding that our
excess of merchandise exports over
imports has totaled $3.50, 100000

Our invisible" payments to for

sorts of fgures-from $500, 900, 600 to

No trustworthy records have ever
been compiled.
The Hearst papers hope to remedy
this.
How much do American tourists
spend abroad every year?
Vice President Gardin, head of the
National City Banks foreign eX-
change department and recognized
authority puts the amount at $780,
10000.
Vice President Max May, of the
Guaranty Trust Company. who
handles an enormous mass of eX
change and is looked upon as "a
wizard at the business, estimates the
sum at 5000, 100000.
NY guess would be from $225.000,
600 to $3.50. 900.
Take the item. "Interest and divi-
dends on securities held abroad"
Mr. Gardin allows the colossal amount
of $500, 900 annually. whereas Mr..
MAY cuts this down to s50000,000!
When experts differ so, surely
there is need for enlightenment on a
subject of such importance.
The Hearst papers invite every
steamship company doing business
with the United States to give, con-
hdentialIy, the amount it collects for

COMMITTEES
!. WORKING HARD
Excise and Shell Fisheries
Committee Will Soon
Complete Work

Hartford, March Tiff the General
Assembly should begin its Friday ees-
sions, next week, as now seems likely,
there are so legislative days ahead to
final adjournment, provided four daye
a week are used for sittings of both
branches
Two public bills and two special
acts have thus far been signed by
Gov. Baldwin. The former are the
laws extending the time in which JUS
tees of the peace may qualify and
providing for a temporary loan for
the state, and the two special acts
are those authorizing Ansonia to is
sue bonds and providing for a deficl-
ency appropriation for the state IL
brary and state treasurer's office.
1t is anticipated that next week
many of the committees will begin
making reports. The cities and Dor
oughs committee have laid down a
general plan of action on municipal
matters which will be applied 1iber-
ally in the case of many of the New
Haven charter amendments The rule
will apply elsewhere It Is expected
that where measure is supported by
<the executives Of q city and the vote
of the board OF aldermen or court OF
common council and there is no real
opposition, favorable reports will be
made. The, committee takes the POSI-
ton that cities should know what
they want and where not only the au-
thorized representatives of the city
but taxpayers also appear in support
and measure has no opposition, it
is hardly up to the committee to hold
up bills indefinitely to decide wheth-
er there should be favorable or I'M
favorable reports. The committee be-
Heves in making reports on such mea-
sures Just as quickly as the bills can
be put into shape.
The declaration of the committee
on cities and boroughs has been CALI
ed to the attention of other commit
tee chairmen and Indications multiply
that this procedure will be generally
adopted.
Z It is the desire of Senator McDon-
ough, as the Democratic leader, to
have all matters on which there is
little or no controversy reported with
out delay in order that Roadway may
be obtained The excise committee
will probably complete it's hearings
within fortnight, the committee on
sheflfisheries will be through next
week and from 10 to q dozen other
committees VIII clean up their work
before April 4.

Andrus, late of. this city, which was
admitted to Probate today.
Continued reports that applicants
have been ordered to undergo medi-
cal examination by members of the
commission are repeatedly denied,
both by the police surgeon. DIT. Fred
erick j. Adams, Clerk Smith and the
Individual commissioners.
Clerk Smith said this morning: ST
have in my desk $50 and 200 appiica-
tions for positions as patolmen up
been on file for some years To my
knowledge no men have been ordered
to take examinations and such action
has never preceded appointment.
Among the names published yester-
day as applicants are two which I
recognize as having been upon the
files but I received no official orders
respecting these men or any others
whose applications are similarly with
the department.
President George S. Hill said. "As
far as 1 am concerned there Is no
truth to the statement that men are
being examined for fitness. Had any
such ohfciaI action been taken I would
have been cognizant of it, but can
mot assert that applicants have not
been told to assure themselves of their
own physical condition by other mem
bers of the board. 1 have not, how
ever, heard of any such case-
Commissioner william H. Brown
said: .aThere is no foundation for the
rumor that applicants are undergo
ing medical examination as anyone
acquainted with police methods would
know. examinations are not 2us-
tornary before appointments are made
and as far as am concerned have
not transgressed this practice. AS
to any action being taken upon pro-
spective appoin tments, there will be
nothing to say this week at least, as
we have sufficient business before the
board with the Anderson trial tonight .
Commissioner Richard H Murphy,
distinctly stated that he had asked
no man to undergo an examination
for fitness.
Commissioner Lou p. Bristol, who
was absent from the city could not
be reached fol-. a specific denial which
it is asserted he had already made in
private conversation.
DR.. Frederick +. Adams, department
surgeon, denied that he had examined
any men purporting to be applicants
for the patrol force.
