COTTON EXCHANGE
 BILL DEBATED Measure Probably Will Be Materially Altered Before
 Its Passage

Washington March 26-Debate on the Smith cotton exchange relation bill in the Senate today indicated that the measure would be radically amended before it passed. Senate leaders tonight said that while prohibition of use of the mail to members of exchanges dealing in futures for other than actual delivery would be retained in the bill the section probably would be changed to make it apply only to matters directly relating to future con- tracts
 Urging his amendments broadening the gia declared the so-called Patten cotton pool was a patriotic enterprise entered into for the purpose of freeing those en- gagged in the legitimate business of trad ing in cotton from the evil influences Of the New York cotton exchange. The men who formed that pool, he said, deserved commendation and not indictment, as had been their fate.
 Senator Ransdel defended legitimate future trading as the only means hy which specific contracts for spot cotton between manufacturers and merchants could be made.
 The bill and all substitutes and amend ments under consideration would provide for the adoption by all cotton exchanges of the government standard of grading. In regulating future contracts it is pro pose dthat tn eactual commercial differ ence in value between the grade delivered and that called for on the 'middling basis provision of such contracts shall be the basis of settlement

LETTERS TO EDITOR
What Drove the American F,ag

To the Editor or The Age Herald:
 When l began t6 read your editorial entitled, Will the Flag Return to the Sea- I supposed I was reading an ar gument against the repeal of free tolls for American coastwise shipping through the Panama canal. But you content yourself with some of the req sons why there is no American ship ping worthy of the name and express the hope that the Underwood tariff re- duction will induce capital to invest in the shirping industry.
 You might have gone further and told us that we had no shipping be- cause 1t did not pay. It was cheaper to use the transfer lines of other na- tions or leave business alone
 Now ttat We have an opportunity of giving our home vessels small advantage hy allowing them the free use of our own short cut, 1t appears that there are some academic objec- tions.
 The tact is. MT Underwood is con- sstent and sensible to oppose the re- peal of free tolls for American coast wise shipping. This stand of his, even though it opposes the mistake of our beloved President is in a line with his splendid record in readjusting Amer ican business.
 We owe our future senator many oblige lions already for his wise and successful management of public busi- ness l wish you had made 1t plain that we may owe him a still greater dent of gratitude for taking a courageous stand to bring back our flag to the seas and to provide American bottoms for floatfng cheaper American goods

 That Mr. Conner was summoned as 8 witness before the grand jury which is Investigating the Lacy charges occa stoned little surprise.
