marked the close of the sensational
testimony of Charles s.. Mellen, for.

criminally indicted for violation of the
Sherman antitrust act, and that he
took the indictment that belonged t.
him" (Morgan), as he believed it
would hove killed the aged financier
if he had been indicted.
Mr.. Mellen spoke with intense feel.
ing as he recited his efforts to shield
the elder Morgan. This turned quick.
ly to a show of resentment, however
as he told how the present J. Pierpont
Morgan had suggested a Change in
the presidency of the New Haven" al

with emphasis:
Il called his attention to the fact
that l had been suffering under the
humiliation of an undeserved indict.
ment to protect his father

recital was given.

HOME ULEB|LL.
ALL ENGLAND NOW HAS EYES
TURN UPON ULsTER-MAY

ARMED VOLUNTEERS FOR RESISTANCE
Clash Is Sure to Come-Londonderry

London, May 24.-With the home
rule bill expected to pass it's third
reading and become a law within the
next 48 hours the eyes of England are
now turned upon Ulster.
The threats of civil war in ireland
before a parliament can be set up in
Dublin is engrossing the attention OF
the nation. With the crisis SO close
at hand Ulster has made arrange
ments to assemble the provisional gov
eminent and mobilize the well-armed
volunteers for resistance.
Arms and ammunition have been dis.
tributed and plans completed for the
calling out of this army at a moments
notice. According to orders to the
commanders of these volunteers, these
steps have been taken ito assist ir
keeping peace in the event of disturb
ances arising out of the passage of the
home rule bill"
Londonderry and Tyrone are dan
ger points, for here the nationalists
and Ulster men are evenly divided,
and both are armed. Nationalist re-
joicings over the passage of the bill
might easily lead to a clash and extra
police have been drafted for service
in these districts, and, if necessary
the military will be ordered to pro.
coed to the assistance of the civil au,
thorities in ease of trouble.
Redmond's Statement.
London.-John e. Redmond, the
Irish nationalist leader, in a statement
Tuesday says the division in the house
of commons on the home rule bill to-
day of 351 to 274 is equivalent to the
passage of the bill into law, and ex-
presses the hope that the Obstetrics
who are genuinely as to their
position will abandon unreasonable
demands and enter into a c~onciliatory
discussion with their fellow country
men with regard to the points of the
bill upon which they desire further
safeguards"

NEGROES NARROW ESCAPE.
Dead Man Left Note Saying Three
Negroes Had Killed Him.

With a bottle of poison beside him,
the Rev. Jesse Plunkett, who lived
between Windsor and White Pond, in
Aiken county, was found late Tues
day afternoon in a dying condition in
his field. He died few minutes
afterwards without regaining con-
sciousness.
A note found on his person, writ
ten in pencil. stated that three ne
groes with whom he had had trouble
last week forced him to drink the
poison, but every physical fact points
to suicide.
The three negroes were at work a
short distance from where Mr.. Plum
kett was found, and there were only
his own tracks in the sand leading
to the stump against which he rested
He had no pencil in his pocket, and
it is evident that the note had been
written before the poison was drunk,

SHOWS UP FAKE CLAIM
DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE NAM.
ED PRESIDENT THIS YEAR.
Standpat Paper Tries to Make it ap-
pear That Electoral College Would
Have Been Republican.

haSc TSCpuUl2Cdus
A standpat Republican paper cir
culated story a few days ago In
which the claim was made that the
Republicans would have named the
president in the electoral college on
the basis of the vote Of Tuesday. Ten
states are listed by this standpat Re-
publican authority, in which the Dem
ocrats elected either their candidates
for governor or United States sena-
tor.
The Republicans are not in charge
of single branch of the government
service. They lost three seats in the
Senate, cutting down their repre-
sentation there to the lowest point
in more than 80 years. They lost
the house when every precedent tes-
titles that they should have polled a
victory, and now fake has been
inaugurated to give them some ap-
parent credit out Of Tuesdays re-
suits.
In the list of states that these Re-
publicans assert would have named
the president in the electoral college
on the basis of Tuesdays vote are:
California, Nevada, Oregon, South
Dakota and Wisconsin, which elect
ed the Democratic candidates for the
United States Senate-and Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Minnesota
and Wyoming, which elected Demo-
cratic governors.
The issue was clean cut in every
one Of these states. 1t was straight
out fight between Wilson and anti
Wilson forces. The Democracy won
victories in most every instance
where the contest was Statewide.
There were exceptions, like New York
and Ohio, where local questions were
TO the front to the exclusion of 6na-
tional issues.
The Democracy would have had
approximately 100 majority in the
electoral college on the basis Of Tues
days vote. The states carried by the
Democracy in statewide contests
were.

TO BAR GAMBLING
HEARINGS ON COTTON FUTURES
LAW IS SOON TO START.
Department of Agriculture Frame
Regulations to Prevent Illegal
Traffic in Fleecy Staple.

Regulations to Prevent Illega
Traffic In Fleecy Staple.
Regulations for administration o
the new law to eliminate so-callec
gambling features from cotton fu'
lures contracts will be considered al
hearings beginning at Washington
this week before Secretary Houston
and treasury officials. Representa-
tives of all branches of the cotton
producing and marketing industry
will be heard. The statute goes into
effect February is, 1915.
By prescribing federal tax of
cents a pound on all cotton sold .o1
future delivery, except under col'
tracts conforming to regulations Of
the department Of agriculture, the
law is expected to prevent specuia'
ton and manipulation Of prices on
cotton exchanges. Tentative regnla'
tions already have been framed and
submitted to those interested, whc
now will be given an opportunity fo
criticise them.
Federal officials are anxious to
have the entire machinery for ad-
ministration Of the law arranged well
in advance of the effective date, 50
that the trade may become familiar
with the new conditions. Promu!ga-
tions Of standards for cotton to be
accepted as legal delivery" will
form the basis for the principal dis
cussion during the hearings.
A tentative set Of standards pre-
pared by the bureau Of markets will
be exhibited for information Of cot
ton traders and for suggestions.
The departments regulations, as
testativeIT framed, provide that fu-
lures sales, in order to be exempt
from txation, must show:
The names and addresses OF buyer
and seller.
The number of bales sold, or the
quantity, in pounds.
The date of delivery.
That delivery is to be made &C
cording to the United States stand
ard grades" to be promulgated By
the secretary of agriculture.
That low grades of cotton or very
short staple can not be delivered in
settlement of the contract.
That the seller shall give the buyer
five days before delivery a memo
randum setting forth. the grades and
specifically describing each bale OF
cotton.
The regulations provide that the
tax of 2 cents a pound, prescribed
for contracts not conforming with
these stipulations, shall be paid by
the purchaser of a stamp to be affix-
ed to contract of sale.
Under the act no tax is imposed on
spot transactions but the price of cot
tor for future delivery must be fixed
by the price in spot markets to be
designated by the secretary Of agri-
culture. The designation of these
markets probably will be decided rlp-
on after the hearings.
The law also provides that dis
putes IS to delivery of cotton shall be
decided by the secretary Of agricul-
ture. For this purpose the regula-
tions provide machinery for examl-
nation Of cotton delivered in disput-
ed cases, collection of evidence and
fling of complaints.
