Admiral Fletcher named several
officers for extraordinary heroism in
battle. In that connection he said !:
commanded the second seaman regi-
meut. His Indifference to the heavy
fire, to which he himself was ex-
posed at the head of his regiment,
showed him to be fearless and coura-
geous in battle.
Ensign II. C. Frazier, U. S. N, ran
forward TO rescue wounded man and
in so doing was so exposed that the
fire of his own men was temporarily
suspended for fear of hitting him. He
returned at once to his position in
line.

- ADAMS OF Grand junction
pleaded guilty before Judge X. Il.
today to fifty of the counts in the
indictment charging him with viola
tions of the federal banking law in
connection with the closing of the
Mesa County National Bank.
Judge Lewis sentenced Orson
Adams to serve six years on each
liz prisonment on each count should
apply concurrently, SO that the time
of total commitment amounts to six
years.
Under good behavior this may be
re..Iced 10 four years and under the
parole law he may be released mt the
end of one third of the time of COM
mitment.
The proceedings in courf lasted one
hour.
The gray court room in the teticr-
al building, where so many scenes
have been enacted that probe the
human feelings to their depth, have
seldom witnessed one more remark
able than that OF today.
In the pleas for clemency, made
by District Attorney Kelly, Thomas
O'Donne!l and Straud NJ. Logan, there
were notes of thrilling appeal seldom
heard in Il court room.
Friends of Adams of long stand
ing, some from Grand Junction and
others from Denver, listened with
heads bowed. Among these was one
head, grayer these last three months,
that held itself erect--not in any
pose of pride or defiance, but as that
OF a man ready to take the punish
ment without whimpering for SYM
pathy, for the wrongs committed by
him.
Ii was Orson Adams,
Many IA time as he was referred to
by the speakers, or his wife and chill
dren were referred to. he must have
struggled to restrain his emotion, but
he succeeded in maintaining a calm
exterior throughout the ordeal. For
all his looks he might have been sit
ting in the bank at Grand Junction.
Adams sat with his lawyers
Throughout the proceedings. Across
the room, in one of row of chairs
against the wall, was Mrs. Adams.
One one side OF her sat John j.
Lunsden; on the other side Judge
Hayt.
Brave throughout was her de-
meanor.
In the pleas made for clemency by
O'Donnell and Logan. and in de-
gree by the district attorney himself,
three pictures of Adams were pre-
scented in the vivid coIors of men
speaking from emotion.
The first picture: That Adams had
been the foremost builder OF Grand
Junction and the Grand Valley; that
practically every great enterprise that
had converted that section of the
state into a prosperous and leading
community of Colorado owed mucn
to his initiative and support-from
the first the mans impel!ing motive
had been to serve his community in
the broadest way: that at the very
time the bank closed he was working
on several new enterprises for the
Grand valley.
Second picture: That OF Adams
striving to protect the bank from
influences which lie believed were
doing it harm and would end in its
ruin; that this situation began when
two men obtained "a control of the
bank: that large funds were trans
ferred to bank in Utah, for the
strengthening and support OF their
transactions there; that one of them

AGAINST POOL PLAN.
cotton Exchange Thinks II Both IL
legal and Unnecessary.

Sentiment on the Cotton Exchange Is
against the proposed Sl3J. 10000 cotton
pool. Members OF the exchange see in the
proposed pool only continued stagnd-
ton of the cotton market resulting from
an artificial and uneconomic attempt TO
boost the price in favor OF the producer
at the cost of the purchaser and the con-
sumner without any actual good TO any OF
the parties Whatever favorable sentl-
ment the proposed plan has received was
due to the fact that members of the local
exchange believed that at its worst it was
better than any OF the other plans which
had been proposed by various southern
Congressman.
Members of the Cotton Exchange main
tain that the proposed plan is direct
violation OF the Sherman law in that II
ties up commodity and holds II off the
market for higher price than would
naturally prevail. They point out that
instead OF releasing cotton for consump-
ton In this country and in Europe the
effect of the pool will be to tie II up
and TO make the market more stagnant
than ever. They feel that Secretary Nc
Adoo, the President and the Attorney
General In taking the stand they have in
favor OF the pool have established a dan
gerous precedent and one that may we'll
cause trouble for them before the next
elections. Cotton Exchange men feel that
an occasion may arise during the pres
eut Administration where II will happen
that some corporation or firm is doing
exactly the same thing that the Admins
tration is now trying to do regarding
the cotton situation and that the
precedent set by the Treasury Department,
the Chief Executive and the Attorney
General might be embarrassing.
Cotton Exchange men further insist that
with the reopenlng OF the Liverpool and
the New York exchanges there is no
need for the cotton pool, "A prices will now
he standardized Under the cotton pool
plan should n planter have his cotton tied
up in warehouse It is suggested that the
red tape necessary TO release II might cost
him an opportunity to sell.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Capital Cautious.

Brokers report that the note market
Is really surprisingly active and strong
and. moreover. not only comparatively
90 but absolutely so. The volume OF busI-
ness that is being done Ia said to be
even larger than usual. Besides notes
very high grade bonds are also strong,
but less so than the securities Of short
life. There is also a good demand for
the best type of convertible bonds with a
short period to run.
Tho reason is to be found In the gradual
return Of confidence and the accumulation
OF idle capital. But this concentration
Of the investment demand upon short term
securities Is not regarded as a wholly ia
Norable development. 1t is favorable in
that 1t implies that capital is at last going
Into securities. 1t is unfavorable because
II indicates extreme caution upon the part
OF capital
Investors nowadays are buying securl-
ties OF the shortest maturity rather than
equally good securities OF long maturity.
The preference Is dictated by the theory
that the prospect Is now so obscure that
II would he unwise to trust the future. The
prevailing idea is that the financial world
Is confronted with n situation whose mag
nitude is not and cannot yet be fully
grasped and that extreme caution is the
only safe rule.
