1 COTTON EXCHANGE MANAGERS AGREE TO
 NINE TYPE SYSTEM

New York, March 17.-Submission to favored by the United States government was acknowledged today by the board of managers of the New York cotton ex change in the adoption of a resolution making the government standard types of cotton the basis for trading on and after April 1. 1915. The resolution reads:
 Resolved, That the government stand ard types of the following grades of cot ton, i. e., middling fair, strict good mid ding, good middling strict middling, mid ding, strict low middling, low middlng, strict good ordinary and good ordinary, shall be the basis for determining the grade of all cotton for delivery upon con tracts maturing on and after April l, 1915.'
 The g cotton grades heretofore main tained by the New York cotton exchange have been criticized severely in the south and it was said by some of those in touch with the situation, that today's &C., tion was taken to forestal possible an- tagonist legislation by Congress.
 The nine grade system has been ap- piled by the New Orleans exchange for years, and is said to simplify the mar keting of the product. Conciliatory &C., tion was taken last fall by the New York exchange, but the concession did not con- pletely appease dissatisfaction in the south, which has insisted on complete surrender, it is said.

 "Fabre Letter. Discussed
 The existence of what is known the "Fahre letter. regarding the Rochette case was denied vehemently by various deputies and vehemently affirmed by others. NJ. Monis, minister of marine, was called on to explain his position. He relunctantly declared he had no knowl edge of the letter. Finally M. Barthou, amid a great up- roar, mounted the tribunal and read the original letter of which M. Calmette had a copy. The letter set forth in the plain est terms that the strongest pressure had been exerted by M. Monis, the premier. on M. Fabre the public prosecutor, to postpone the Rochette trial for six months. NJ. Fabre, shocked at such an order, at first resisted it, but finally gave in, de- claring that 1t was "the greatest humila- ton" of his life.
 M Barthou explained that the letters was written M. Briand when he was minister Of justice. at his special re- quest. He passed on to his successor M. Barthou.
 M Monisthen arose again and said it was the first time he ever had heard of the letter. He formally denied knowl- edge of its contents and said he readily would submit himself to a committee of inquiry.
 The chamber voted unanimously for the appointment of a committee to inves- tigate the whole affair, the committee to have judicial powers to examine wit nesses.
 Rumors late tonight affirmed and de- nied reports that the whole cabinet would resign. The reorganized cabinet is as follows:

 M. Trouin, interrupting, called out:

 We will defend a hero, who, doing his duty. has been assa ssinated. It has been said that M. Calmette intended to publish private letters"
 A voice from the socialist left-'is that true?"
 M Delahaye: "I say that Is false. M. Calmette declared to me that he had no intention of publishing private letters."
 During the day Deputy Thaamas of Versailles circulated in the lobbies of the chamber a copy of a letter he had sent to Mime CaillauX. congratulating her on killing M Calmette.
