ID REOPEN FIGHT
 ON RECULAT|ON OF
 COTTON FUTURES
Kenyon Moves for Recon sideration of Bill After It Has Been Passed-Mis-
 understanding Claimed

Washington. March 27.-After the Senate today had passed bill to regulate cotton futures trading, Senator Kenyon, who with others had misunderstood an amend ment to legalize pooling operations, moved for reconsideration and paved the way for reopening the fight on the measure tomorrow The amendment would annul the supreme court decision in the Patten case that pooling, with an agreement not to sell on an exchange, violates the Sher- man law.
 The bill as passed would provide that no person connected with an exchange shall send through the mails matter promoting enforcement of future delivery contract unless the exchange requires all such transactions to comply with certain con ditions, among them that contracts must provide for delivery with department of agriculture standards. The pooling amend ment introduced by Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, was advocated by him to pre- vent such prosecutions as that of Pat ten and associates, indicted by the federal government on charges of pooling cotton in 1910, with the purpose of withholding 1t from the market until they had reaped profits of some s10,000,000. Senator Smith declared these men should have been re- garded as benefactors, not as criminals.
 Ends Long Fight
 The passage of the bill ends fight led by Senator Smith of South Carolina for legislation against practices of cotton ex- changes denounced as injurious to the cot- ton industry Senators Smith of Geoergia and Ransdel of Louisiana, also introduced bills The three senators today, after two-days debate, reached an agreement on a compromise measure, and it passed without roll call.
 Among the conditions the measure would require exchanges to impose on futures transactions is one providing that if the cotton sold is of the middling or basic grade. and the delivery is of other grades, then the commercial difference in value between the grade delivered and the grade sold must be paid. At present the New York Cotton exchange has in force fixed difference in value of the grades. An attempt was made to require the delivery of the grade specified in the contract, but Senator Ransdell denounced this amend ment as unduly restricting speculation and unjust to the New orleans Cotton ex- change.
 The bill provides that no one shall use mail or telegraph lines to send out cotton exchange quotations unless the exchange adopts the specified contracts. The send .l, made a misdemeanor punishable by fine not to exceed 5000 or by one years impris- onment.

MINING ABOUT ADAIR.
Veteran Prospector Has PROMISING
Property in That Vicinity,

William Sutherland, the original To-
Gator Of the Sunset mine, now being
developed by Senator Clark, and also
the locator of the st. Lawrence. one
Of the big copper properties in the
Saltese section, was in the city yester-
day. Mr.. Sutherland is row located
near Adair on the Milwaukee line,
where he is engaged in developing
what he describes as two very prom
ising groups of claims. They are stu
ated about mile from Adair and are
known as the Portland and Domingo
groups. On both groups the veins
show up strongly on the surface and
the little development work has re-
vealed values in copper and gold Mr..
Sutherland has been working on these
claims all winter and returned yester-
day to resume operations.
Mr.. Sutherland reports much min
ing activity in the vicinity of Ada,r,
the most prominent property in the
vicinity being the Big Elk,
which has a wonderful showing of
copper-gold ore, from which several
cars OF ore have been shipped

But Mr.. Shonts and his associates
are not the only beneficiaries. Other
ore shipments are made from Big

active in that section and Is on the in

out the ore. but also receives ship

ally. Federal, would not like to lose the
mine and mill. If it could acquire the
Stewart it could keep up a desultory,
nominal production from the Last
Chance mine, and mill Stewart ore in
the Last Chance MILL The arrange
ment would be highly profitable one
for Federal and for Smelters.
Stewart Has Same SmeIter Contract
as Federal.
However conditions in the old Fed
eral and the present Stewart Mining
company are different, and even if
Stewart should fall into the hands Of
American Smelling & Refining COM

died with the allegedly irksome smelt-
ing contract imposed upon Federal by
Shelters. Why not? Stewart already
operates under the same smelling con-
tract terms as Federal, and has man
aged to earn handsome profits under
this selfsame smelling contract.
Stewart Not Controlled by SmeIters.
las matter of fact Stewart has not
as yet fallen into the control of the
Guggenheims. Really the negotia-
tons of the American Smelling & Re-
filming company in connection with the
Assets Realization loan are only one
of the whisperings of rumor. The
truth Of the matter is that American
Smelling & Refining has not succeeded
in taking over the loan, or the collat-
eral indicated, and even the negotia-
tons Of the Guggenheims with that
end In view are hardly more than the
intangible gossipy whisperings of
Dame Rumor. Whether there be any
truth in them, it is difficult to say
just now
Neither the Guggenheims, the AS
sets Realization interests or the Heinza
interests will commit themselves on
the question.
Stewart Loses to Ontario.
Another adverse development in
the affairs of the Stewart Mining COM
pany Is the loss of its suit before u. S.
Judge F. S. Dietrich regarding control
of the Ontario lode claim. This fam
Gus litigation, several years old be-
tween former Y. S. Senator Jonathan
Bourne of Oregon. and the Stewart

pected. 1t could not, therefore, be talk

able decision would doubtlessly have
been considerably Of a boost to the
Stewart stock. 1t is probable that the
Stewart Mining company may take an
other appeal"

KEEN INTEREST IN
ORE BEARING RAD|uM
YEAR AGO LITTLE INTEREST
TAKEN IN THIS MUCH
SOUGHT METAL,

Interest in radium bearing minerals
in the United States has grown rap
idly in the last year. Twelve months
ago radium was considered largely of
academic Importance, but today the
potential value of a genuine radium
industry in this country is recognized.
says the Metallurgical and Chemical
Engineering.
In the light of these facts 1t Is not
surprising that our deposits have az
tracted the attention of the European
buyers, and that scientists and gov
eminent officials in this country
should become interested in exploiting
them in such way as to produce
first an adequate supply Of radium for
domestic use, without undue prejudice
to the needs of foreign countries.
Withdrawal Bitterly Opposed.
A proposal on the part of the gov
eminent to withdraw the Colorado
Utah carnotite deposits from private
entry has precipitated storm of
criticism, particularly in Denver.
against a further exercise of federal
conservation of the states resources.
1t is plainly the fear of the state au-
thorities that an act of withdrawal
will result in unnecessary delay in the
final disposition Of the lands, and that
a condition will be created similar TO
that which has existed in Alaskan
and western coal lands. There is also
a feeling that more rapid develop
ment will take place under conditions
of free prospecting by individuals
than under government supervision
and control
Prospecting for Companies.
Practically the only persons who can
be injured under the plan advocated
by the secretary of the interior are
future prospectors, but even they can
profit by making special effort to %
cate claims pending final action ~
the government Up to date compare
lively little prospecting has been, done
on personal account. Most Of the work
has been done by agents Of the large
companies, and even this has been
confined to locating claims on which
outcrops We're plainly visible. Such
deposits are now privately owned and
the ores can be sold when and where
the owners wish. Exploration might
develop further deposits.
Radium for Domestic Use.
Undoubtedly great pressure has
been brought to bear on the govern
ment, through medical societies and
other agencies, not so much to pre-
vent the expectation of radium ore
from this country as to produce as
soon as possible an adequate supply
for domestic use. A great deal Of such
ore is going abroad, and one unfortun-
ate feature of this is that American
users can buy but little of the radium
produced from their own ores, even at
the rapidly rising speculative prices.
1t is a time for cooperation of the
different interests. All Of the facts
should be considered on their genuine
merits. to the end that this country
may take advantage of what appears
to be wonderful opportunity.

mining and Industrial fields" in it's is

extended notice Of the reported ac-
QUESTION of the Stewart mine by the

given for what It is worth. as in any

The article follows:
Guggenheims May Take Stewart.
Not long ago the rumor first got
out that the American Smelling & Re-
fining company was negotiating for, or
had already acquired, the loan made
by the Assets Realization company to
United Copper, or, what is more i'm
portant the securities put up as COL
lateral on said loan. The rumor that
American Smelling & Refining was
thus butting into the affairs of Stew
art was heavy blow at Stewart.
American Smelling & Refining con-
trolls the smelling contracts for most
Of the ores of the Occur d'Alene dis
trict in Idaho, in which the Stewart
property is located and as a matter of
fact the present Stewart smelling con-
tract is held by American Smelling &
Refining.
Subordinate Mines to Shelters.
"Why should Guggenheim control Of
Stewart be regarded with fear by the
Stewart stockholders
Because it has been the policy Of
Smelters' in acquiring Occur d'Alene
properties and other mining property
to subordinate the mines to the ends
Of the smelling company.
1.-THE history of the Federal Mining
& Smelling company Stewards neigh
Dor in the Occur d'Alenes, is familiar
example. This company was acquired
by the Guggenhelms in 1903. Since
then there has been in force a smell
ing contract such as to preclude the
possibility of earnings for the common
stock of the mining company, possible
profits from the mines being turned
into the smelter account.

Differences in Senate.

What the senate will do remains to
be seen and until the situation takes
more definite shape it will be impos-
sible to get an accurate line on the
senate. The last senate by vote Of
3 to l passed the exemption act as APP
plicabe to coastwise vessels and that
measure received as many democratic
votes as republicans. And today there
are republican senators as well Ss
democrats who take the president !
view of the Panama canal toll ques-
tion, just as democrats as well as re-
publicans oppose that view. Senator
Root, for instance Is strongly in favor
of repeal, while Senator O'Gorman,
his democratic colleague and chair
man of the oceanic canal committee
is determined in his opposition to the
president on this issue
The principal criticism made OF
President WilsOn-and this criticism
is made soto voce, thus far-is that
he is displaying a lack Of courage in
his dealing with other nations: with
Great Britain on the canal toll ques-
tions: with Japan on the immigration
question and with Mexico on her own
problem.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-02-19
Washington Posts Views.

The style of criticism heard among
senators is reflected in an editorial
recently printed by the Washington
Post, in which this was said:
How far is the United States to g.
in satisfying Great Britain? Is it ne
cessary on the eve Of celebrating 100
years of peace with Great Britain to
surrender the right to send our own
naval vessels through the canal free
of tolls? Is 1t necessary to admit the
Canadian railroad owned ships into
competition with independent Ameri-
can steamships, although we have
forced American railroads to sell their
steamship lines? Is it necessary to
take away from Panama the right to
send her vessels through the canal
free of tolls? And finally is it neces-
sary to tax our coastwise vessels al
though no foreign vessels can engage
in the coastwise trade?
1T may be that the friendship of
Great Britain Is such priceless boon
that we can afford to do all this and
more. But there are many Americans
with long memories who will ask:
How is the friendship Of Great Brit
ain to be retained after It is once
bought?"
Chief Executive Inconsistent.
Moreover attention is being dierct
ed to the fact that when the woman
suffragsts appealed to the president
to espouse their cause he replied that
he could not dictate to the party of
which he is the head: that he must
carry out only those policies outlined
in the Baltimore platform. Yet the
Baltimore platform anent the Panama
tolls question contained this plank:
1--WE favor the exemption from toll
of American ships engaged in coast
wise trade passing through the canal.
In the one Instance the president
could not take up the suffrage ques-
ton because the Baltimore platform
platform made a clear and
declaration in favor If
the exemption clause which the presi-
dent now insists must be repealed.
Bryan Is Criticised.
With reference to this particular
plank, Secretary Bryan has pointed
cut that he did not know that declar- |
alton was going into the platform and |

ON FREE T0LLSCAUSE
HOUSE WILL FALL IN LINE, BUT
THERE WILL BE STUBBORN
FIGHT IN THE SENATE.

According to washington cores
pendent President Wilson can not
wind up the present session of con-
gress by June l as promised If he in
sists upon the passage Of a bill re-
pealing the law exempting American
coastwise vessels passing through the
Panama canal from the payment Of
tolls. Indeed, 1t is by no means cer-
tain that the president can force the
passage of the repeal bill though his
success with other legislation thus far
tends to confirm the belief that event.
ually he can repeal the exemption
clause in the Panama canal act.
The house of representatives long
ago demonstrated that it will not stand
out against the president no matter
how much his views may conflict with
the views of a majority of his own
party men in that branch Of congress
