CANNON THAT WILL HELP
GUARD THE PANAMA CANAL

When its breech-loading device
has been perfected at Watervliet
arsenal, the sixteen-inch gun, the
biggest piece of ordnance in the
world, which has just been shipped
from Sandy Hook proving grounds,
will be practically ready for service
ON the Panama canal Notifications.
Some idea of the tremendous pow
er Of this gun, destined to protect
the Pacific entrance to the Panama
canal, may be formed from the fact
that it is fifty feet long, weighs 142
tons and fires a projectile about six
feet long. The projectile itself
weighs a ton and is discharged by
665 pounds of powder. 1t requires
eight men to carry the powder
charge. This gun has a maximum
range of from twenty-five to twenty
three miles. The elevation permit
ted by its carriage will enable the
gun to fire projectile about eleven
miles over the Pacific ocean. 1t has
sufficient power, theoretically, to
pierce two feet of the best armor at
the muZzle. AT eleven miles the
gun is calculated to pierce a twelve
inch armor plate, or any side armor
af1oat.

COTTON MARKETS.

with a bullish crop statement by well
known commission house. The latter
condition since 1907, when the crop was

plant now was nearly month late. That

next Monday and thus record present
unfavorable conditions. Many COM
plants about dry. cool weather arrived
from the eastern belt and were accom-
panied in not few instances by good
buying orders, While late kilograms
from Texas and Oklahoma said fields
were foul with weeds and grass and that
it will be some time before cultivation

NEW YORK, May GIN it's essential
features todays two-hour session of the
stock exchange differed only slightly
from the preceding days of the week.
Trading was a little more active in the
first hour and sentiment was somewhat
more hopeful, based in part on the more
encouraging views of high authorities in
the steel and iron trade and on overnight
developments in the Mexican situation.
These factors were again neutralized,
however. by further advices from abroad
which pointed more definitely to extreme
financial tension in Paris and London. In
fact, the situation at Paris was referred
to as calling for drastic action.
OF the local stock market it may be
said that some stocks, chiefly specialties,
moved upward. while some others of more
speculative importance scarcely moved at
all. United States Steel. Union Pacific,
Canadian Pacific and Amalgamated Cop
per. were notable exceptions, recording
material advances. In the final dealings a
stronger undertone was manifested.
Outflow Of gold to Europe continued.

Agricultural Bill.
WEST URGES ACCEPTING
OF OIL KINGS MILLIONS
Comparison Of Work With That Of
Nobel Causes Warm Argument
by Lawmakers.

John D. Rockefeller and his fortune
were the objects Of bitter attack in the
Senate yesterday. Senator West Of
Georgia offered an amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill, which
would permit the Department Of Agricul-
ture to continue to accept the aid Of the
general education board in stamping out
the boil weevil. the arch enemy of the
cotton farmers. This board is the child
of Rockefeller and endowed by him with
millions OF dollars. It has contributed
s25O.OO0 year in the past to aid the work
Of the Department Of Agriculture.
No sooner had the senator from Georgia
taken the floor in support of his amend
ment than senator after senator rose to
denounce Rockefeller as criminal and a
murderer Of women and children through
the monopolies which he has controlled
Senator Kern Of Indiana, the democratic
leader. and Senators Kenyon. Lane, Mar
tine. Gore and Reed, led in the attack
upon Rockefeller. declaring that the
United States government should never
"enter into a partnership" with Rookie
Teller, no matter what the purpose Of that
partnership.
Senator West replied that he was no
defender Of Rockefeller. but that he saw
no good reason why this money should
not be used for the benefit of the people
He said that he saw no difference be-
tween the fortunes amassed by Rookie
Teller and Alfred Nobel, who left mil
lions for the distribution of prizes an
nually to men and women who have done
the most to advance learning and uni
versal peace. Nobel. he said, had gone
into the oil fields of Europe and made
his money in the same way as Rookie
Teller.
THE senator does not claim that any
one ever charged Alfred Nobel with be-
ing criminal" said Senator Gronna.

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
OPPOSED BY BURLESON

Postmaster General Burleson has re-
ported adversely to the proposition en-
bodied in the Senate bill providing for
government employment agencies to be
located at every presidential post Office,
where those seeking employment, as well
as those who desire help, can register
for a nominal sum. The bill further pro-
vides that these government employment
agencies shall be self-sustaining by the
sale of registration stamps, and that the
postmasters at every presidential office,
without expense to the government, shall
post the registration lists.
Burleson's Position.
In a letter to Chairman Bankhead of
the committee on post Offices and post
roads. the Postmaster General says:
In cities Of any size there are employ
ment agencies whose ability and financial
success depend upon their ability to
bring together the employer and the
person seeking employment. and 1t may
be assumed that the unemployed who
want work. and are willing to pay a rea-
sonable fee to secure position already
have ample opportunity for advertising
their desires.
"In smaller towns persons needing help
and those seeking employment are less
numerous, and, as a rule. there Is COM
mon knowledge concerning the demand
and supply.
..The salary Of the average clerk in the
Post Office Department Is $1.O6S per an
mum. and to cover the cost OF clerical
services. printing, circulating and keep
ing the list corrected would probably re-
quire a larger registration. fee than is
now paid to private agencies conducted
at less expense"

Plan Is Investigated.

The question Of government employment
agencies is now under consideration by
the Industrial commission and hearings
are being held in New York. 1t is pro-
posed that the Department Of Labor be
given Jurisdiction and that legislation be
enacted whereby employment agencies
shall be established under the direction
and control of the Secretary OF Labor.
II is declared there is quite a sentiment
developing in favor of the post office en-
ployment agency plan: as embodied in
the ground that the post office is me-
dunn which would bring employer and
employe in closer touch and at a nominal
cost. Those advocating the bill insist that
employment agencies in large cities. as a
rule, are not reliable; that the fees
charged are excessive: that in many in
stances so cents is charged, regardless
Of whether job is obtained for an ap-
plicant, or help is secured for an en-
ployer. A hearing probably will be re-
ouested before the committee on post Of
fees and post roads.
