WORKING ON PLANS ID GET MORE MONEY FORSOUTHERNCR0PS Warehouse Project Has Not Yet Been Put Into
 Tangible Form ENORMOUS GAINS
 IN FARM PRODUCTS yanderlip's Address Somewhat Disap- pointing in That He Did Not
 Suggest More Definite
 Plan for Solution
By HOLLAND


 New York. May 6-(Special.) )-There was was some encouragement felt, and yet nothing very definite brought out respect ing the proposition to establish bonded cotton warehouse system in the south at the recent annual convention of the Amer ican Cotton Manufacturers association in this city. The addresses and the in formal discussions tended to prove that almost every one who is interested in this great American industry is hopeful that the expedient and adequate plan for es- tablishing bonded cotton warehouses may at last be worked out.
 There were intimations that before this can be done there will be need of securing legislation in some of the southern states. Some of our bankers heard of consid- erable undercurrent in favor of such na- tional legislation as would authorize bond ed warehouses in which agricultural prod ucts could be stored, with receipts issued therefor which would be readily avail able as security for loans in any part of the country. The belief was general, however that Congress would not favor a plan of this kind.
 There is no doubt that as a whole the banking facilities of the south are not sufficient for the needs of the agricul- tural communities there. For instance, how rapidly agriculture has increased in the south is demonstrated by recent sta tistics, which show that in 1900 the money value of the agricultural products of South Carolina each year was little in excess of $50. 900. The latest authoritative sta tistics report that the money value of South Carolinas agricultural products is now annually about $140 000, 900.
 | In other parts of the south the increase | has been relatively even greater than this and it has been for some years the belief of leading men of the south and of their 1 friends in this city that there would be | a great stimulus toward a heavy increase of the harvests of the south if it were possible to secure upon reasonable terms much needed funds.
 How Can It be Done? But how is this to be done? That ii should be compa ssed in some way was tht unanimous opinion of those who took part in the meeting of the American Cot ton Manufacturers association. The hopt was strong that the president of the Ma tional City bank, Frank A. Nanderip Nwould enlighten the members of the as sociation, showing them the practical and expedient manner in which this great un | dertaking could be perfected. There wal some regret expressed that MT. Vanderlil did not quite meee this point In his ad-

Mrs. Inez Milholland- BOisseyain Says They Should Have It as Well

To the Editor of The AgeHerald;
 This day was marked by much suffra- gette demonstration in New York city and elsewhere. Here, for some reason not made public. the annual May Day march, ing parade was abandoned, and open air speeehifying in all the city parks was substituted throughout the afternoon, clos ing with grand finale at Carnegie hall this evening, when the meeting was opened by the mayor. An incident fraught with special interest for southerners, and which Is the inspiring cause of this let ter occurred in Riverside park near Grants tomb. when Mrs. Inez Milholland- Bossevain was speaking. man in the crowd called to her: How about the col ored women, do you intend to give them the voter" whereupon she promptly re- plied Why, we certainly do Intend to give votes to colored women in precisely the same way we shall give them to all other women."
 Will Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, Miss Jean Gordon, Ellen Glasgow, ct al. kindly sit l up and make note of this? They and | their southern suffrage followers have been hugging the fond Illusion that south ern men could bestow the ballot upon which would exclude negro women. but happily not many southern men are af- ncted with any such foolish and imprac- ticable notion about law-making, Ger tainly the more astute southern legisla- tors know that 1t is one thing to outwli a federal statute imposed upon them with out their eonsent-as in the case of ths ballot for negro men--and quite differ ent proposition to nuliify, by force or sub terfuge, state law of their own devisng

TRAIN ROBBERY CASE HEARD IN ANN|ST0N

! Anniston, May 6.-(Special) )-The case of the United States against Marshall Moon, who is charged with having robbed the mail car of Southern passenger train No. 12, which he is alleged to have held up between Lincoln and Riverside about two years ago, has been in progress in the federal court here before Judge w. l. Grubb since Wednesday morning.
 One of the chief witnesses in the case was John Robinson, who was brought into the court room on a stretcher. He was so i'll that he lay on cot all during the trial.
 Robinson testified that he knew Moon well, and that he saw him lettering around the station at Riverside for sometime before the passage of No. F on the night of the robbery. He also identified suit of light clothing which has played a prominent part in the trial. and was not shaken in his testimony despite rigid cross examination.
 The defense set up an alibi in rebuttal of the governments testimony. The father and mother of young Moon stated that while he went to Riverside on the night of the robbery, he returned about o'clock, and that he was not gone from the home long at time until the Sunday following when he started for Birming- ham. The father and mother also iden- tified the suit of clothes, but they claimed they were not worn when the robbery is said to have been committed by their son.
 i. Moon is said to have been mail clerk, And the circumstances surrounding the robbery indicated familiarity with the ser vice He was not arrested until several days after the crime was committed.
