PLANTERS OPPOSE TAX
ON COTTON EXCHANGES

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Southe
planters are protesting to the Senate
Finance Committee against the pro-
vision in the tariff bill taxing cotton
exchange dealers .05 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 a
bale of cotton, no exchange can con-
tinue t. DC business. The planters
are opposed to the New York Ex-
change, but they want the New Or
leans and other Southern cotton eX-
changes to continue.
In this argumt 1T they present it is
held that the New Orleans Exchange
and other Southern exchanges are
bullisn on the cotton market and seek
to hold the price to the advantage of
the Southern grower. These eX-
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.
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 great injustice would
be done the cotton growers who are
now laboring under the disadvantage
Of competition with Egyptian cotton,
which is Of high grade and commands
better price than Southern cotton.
Egyptian cotton, which needs salt
air is being grown In the reclaimed
lands of Salton Sea, California, and
il is an active competitor of the
Southern cotton, which is short on
fiber

KAHN SAYS REPORT PROVES
EFFORT TO BLOCK JUSTICE

WASHINGTON, July THE pub
location to-day of former District At
torney McNab's report to Attorney
General McReynolds, dated May 81.
in the Caminetti-Digg white slave
cases, giving the details of the alleg
ed seduction of the Warrington and
Norris girls by young Camlnetti and.
Diggs, aroused new interest in the
cases.
Representative Kahn, Of California,
and other members of the California
delegation declared the House Ju-
dietary Committee was wrong in sup.
pressing the McNab report. In the
committee report before the House,
those parts of the McNab report deal
ing with the methods used to lead
the girls astray; the alleged attempt
to suborn perjury and the revela-
ton that Caminetti's counsel had told
McNab that Caminetti probably
would plead guilty were omitted.
Kahn declared to-day he would de-
mand that all the cores ondence in
the case be made public, He declar-
ed the McNab report justified his
charge that a ystematized effort was
being made to block justice, and that
the explanation of the President and
Attorney General McReynolds in the
case was not well founded.

place among the navies of the world
and not third, as is generally sup
posed

shown very clearly in Brassey's Man
ual, whose rating of the nations was
discussed generally to-day by Off
GERS at the Navy Department.

of staff of Secretary Daniels pointed

the nations as shown by Brassey's

|SENATORSH|P ALL IMPORTANT TOPIC Four Candidates Loomed Up in Race for Senator
 Davis Job. ROBINSON IS SILENT Governors Vacancy Also Attracting Considerable AttentiOn-Sit-
 uatiOn Not Clearing.
ROBINSON IS SILENT

Little Rock, Jan. 6.-The political situation is not clearing up very rapidly. The appointments of Editor J. N. Heiskell. of the Arkansas Ga zette, to fill the unexpired term of Jeff Davis, in the United States Sen ate, being non-political, can have no bearing upon the result, as MT. Hcis kell is no more candidate f,r the full term than he was an aspirant for the interim appointment.
 Governor-elect Joe T. Robinson, who has been in the city since Sat urday night, has as yet authorized no statement, but it is believed by many that he can have the office if he will take it. He has been in close conference with his friends, and the impression prevails that he will be a candidate before the legislature for the coveted honor.
 The "Big Four."
 There are four figures looming large in the field for United States senator-Gov.-elect Joe T. Robinson, Gov. Geo. w. Donaghey, Attorney General Hal L. Norwood, and for mer Congressman s. Brundidge, whom Jeff Davis defeated by only $500 votes last year. A score or more of others are being mentioned as availables, or actual aspirants, the latest being former State Senator D. Lat Kiug Of LeWisville.
 Contest for Governor.
 Should Governor Robinson go to the Senate a vacancy would be created in the office of governor, for which there would be a great scramble. AL ready at least three candidates are openly avowed for the place in tue event of the contingency arising.
 These are Hon. John H. Hinemon Of Morrell, Ashley county, former state superintendent and one-time candi- date for the nomination; Hon. Robert L.. Rogers of Little Rock, prosecut- ing attorney of the Sixth judicial cir cuit and Earle w. Hodges, secretary of state. Each of these has definite ly announced for governor at the special election which will be called should Joe T. Robinson don the senatorial tOga.
 Does Not Want to Discuss Subject. When asked this morning if he would be a candidate for the United States Senate Gov. George w. Dona- ghey replied that he did not want te discuss that subject at this time and would make no further statement.
