Buy Ten Million Yards Of
Cotton Cloth.

Swift & Company, realizing
fully the position of the South
ern farmer, have adopted throu-
Oh their large Fertilizer Inter
ests in the South a new plan to
relieve the cotton situation.
They are certainly doing their
share in helping the South by
their large consumption Of Cotton
Cloth.
Although already large users
of cotton, cotton seed oil and
other outhern products, they
are making this year a soecia
effort to increase the use Of cot

ton goods in all departments OF
their numberous plants.
Cotton bags, cotton sheetings,
and cotton coverings for meats
are being substituted for other
material wherever possible An
ordinary years requirements tor
this firm amounts to over ten
million yards, and with their
present "Help the South" policy
their consumption of Cotton
goods will be very largely in
creased.
One item alone, that of using
Cotton Instead of jute tankag(
press cloths, has added 10000
wards to the Swift consumption
This is surely shot in th'
right direction and one the Soutl
can fully appreciate. We hop
that their initiative will start
movement which will becom
even more beneficial than tn

We could stard more big &C

MORGAN RULED NEW HAVEN
MeIlen Tessifies that Finsncier Dom.
mated the System

Washington. May ia story OF
absolute domination in affairs of the
New Haven railroad system by the
late Pierpont Morgan--of the spend
ing of millions In awed and ignorant
silence on the command OF the all
power financial ruler-was told to
the interstate commerce commission
today by Charles S. Mellen, former
president of the New Haven. 1t was
the most extraordinary chapter yet
unfolded in the commissions inquiry
into the alleged exploitation of the
great New England railroad. and the
disappearance OF fortunes from its
treasury through acquisition at eX-
travagant prices subsidiary proper
ties.
There was not time in single day
to crowd details of all the incidents
and events dealt with in the witness
testimony. He barely touched upon
some of the big things, paving the
way for exhaustive questioning that
will continue tomorrow. Members OF
the commission, counsel and interest
ed spectators fairly hung upon every
word of Mr.. Mellen today as his story
developed dramatically under the eX-
animation by Chief Counsel Folk.
Everybody listened with absorbed at
tention and at times evident amaze
ment, as he related how he had stood
in awe of Mr.. Morgan because OF his
comprehensive grasp and perfect pre-
science of financial matters; how he
had consulted with Theodore Roose-
welt, then President of the United
States, regarding the purchase of the
Boston and Maine railroad; how he
had prevented the late +. II. Harri-
man from acquiring the Boston and
Maine by getting it himself TO- the
New Haven, and how he had dealt
with the late Police Inspector Tho
mas f. Byrnes of New York to obtain
the Westchesser stock held by per
sons whom he assumed to be connect
ed with Tammany Hall.
As he did when on the stand last
week, Mr.. Mellen gave his testimony
with apparent willingness, answer
ing every question except one. He
tried to avoid telling about the time
Mr.. Morgan Inundated him by refus-
ing to him information concerning
the Westchester transaction TO which
he thought. as president of the New
Haven, he was entitled. When he f.
nally related the incident Mellens
face was drawn into hard lines and
he clasped his hands over the table
in front of him almost convulsively.
His voice indicated no signs of emo
ton, however. continuing clear, dis
tinct and resonant.
