Here Is the POsiti
OUR readers will remember my statement
that Slaton was Rosser's partner in
May, 1915, just few days before he com
muted Franks sentence
OF course, certain clique in Atlanta, and
ITS weezly-editor ramifcations, have denied
that Slaton and Rosser were partners, when
Slaton saved-as he thought-the client of
the firm.
TO friend in Atlanta, I am indebted for
the positive evidence to sustain my asser-
ton.
1t is contained in E'The Daily Report" a
paper devoted to the Courts and the Bust
ness Interests of Fulton County,
1t is recognized by the members of the
bar as The Oficiaz-Go urt Bulletin.
In its issue Of May 18th, 1915, the follow
ing professional advertisement appears:
IL. T. Rosser, Sr. Morris Brandon.
Jno. NJ Saton B. z. Phillips.
..~- RossER, BRANDON, sIAToN & PHILLIPS
1893 Grant Bldg. Phone Ivy 28OO'
The advertisement appears under the class
ifcation--
"ATTORNETS."
You see by this undeniable testimony that
at the very time GOrern0r Slaton was prom
ising the New Y rk Jews to retry Franks
case, NE WAS ONE or FRANCS LAW
YERS
At the very time that the Chicago philan-
throps and lollywops came potraclzng down
to Atlanta, in Pullman palace cars, to plead
with Slaton, that profound hypocrite was
one OF Franks lawyers
Mary Delaney Fisher-who is obviously
described as "a club woman" autographed
her sob story to the Northern press. She
Wept this weep into it:
''Mrs Fisher urged the womans appeal
that brought tears, etc.
"The Governor said to me when [ pre-
scented tho plea:
''When the case shall be presented to me
by the Prison Commission, [ shall give it
every consideration, and go thoroughly into
eueYy detail. being guided by the facts pre-
sented IN the record I am glad to receive
the plea for mercy from the women, but #
find, IN nay opini0n that Frank IS not g"5lty,
I shall exercise my prerogative, and grant
him q fW pardon.'
'sThen Higinbotham, in his excitement,
jumped up and said, DO you mean par
DOM and he said, 'Undoubtedly,' to which
Higinbotham answered, Thank God, knew
YOU were man.
II interviewed Mrs. Slaton today in her
country home where / was escorted by one
of the prominent Gentle women of the inner
circle of the Governor, in her own private
car Of course, she could not tell me she
would help the Frank cause, and / would
not ask her; but she did say her own brother,
John Grant, one of the prominent men OF
the city, had signed the Frank petition.
This telegram, which screamed it's way
through the Northern papers, bore date June

niridends and a Crop Scare.

Alter the break had begun there was
, good deal of talk Of crop scare and
more Of q possible reduction in the
5jvidends when the directors should
meet at the end Of the month. While
new, shout crop easily interpreted by
stock traders was lacking, the jump IN
wheat prices at Chicago gave backing
70 The idea that something had hap
named 10 the crops. Afterward 1t was
discovered b. the traders generally
tia. wet weather was impeding the
harvesting OF winter wheat and oats,
and 20 threatening to keep down rail-
road traffic in the middle Of the month.
But crop news alone did not seem to
warrant such selling as pressed its
wsv on TO the market. Even the chance
that the dividend might be reduced was
TOO slight reason for such sudden
and persistent offerings Of the stock
!, is true that the May earnings were
published yesterday. but the showing
they made was not surprising, IN view
Of the way revenues have been run
ming. and although net fell of $O4'-
sal for the month, an increase OF SloZ,-
597 in gross suggested that there was
still some balm in Gilead.

CONFUSION ON EXCHANGE
Rush to Sell Rubber Shares
Causes Committee to Act.

The post where the shares Of the
United States Rubber Company are
traded in was the scene Of great con-
fusion yesterday on the Stock Ex-
change as g result Of the passing Of
the common dividend late Thursday
afternoon. That this action came as
a surprise to many of the stockholders
was apparent from the big offerings of
the stock at the opening.
SO great was the rush to sell that
many sales were put through at vary
ing prices by hysterical brokers, and
consequently serious dissatisfaction
arose over the fact. In one part Of the
Rubber crowd the stock sold at 43 and
A, the low price representing a drop
of nearly points from Thursdays
closing level. Elsewhere about the
trading post were brokers shouting bids
to buy at 40 and 46, without finding
sellers.
When these brokers learned of the
sales at "A and 43 they at once pro-
tested, calling upon a committee of
exchange governors to cancel the sales
at lower prices. This was subsequent
ly done, and it was 1915 before the
ticker officially announced that the
opening prices ranged from 40 10 as.
Later the stock fell below As, estab-
fishing a low record for four years
A little over two months ago it sold
between "a and 70.

There was only one transaction in the

British Loan Here.

What had been said 70 be inevitable
the sale Of S100,000,00O or more OF
British government securities 10 BANK
ers here's proving to have been in
evitable. The way has been found 10
increase Great Britain's ability 70 buy
war munitions here for herse.t and
her Allies. incidentally, the loan
which is shortly to be completed Will
benefit the United States because II
is likely to act as check on the long
decline In sterling. and perhaps on
the decline in francs. Both sterling
and francs, in fact, rallied yesterday.
Il will be a benefit to this country TO
check the drain of gold from the Al
lies, because the prosperity Of ma
ton. like that of a merchant, depends
on the prosperity Of its customers
The further the operations OF pay
ment between nations depart from

cannot pay US in goods for the goods

WHEAT ADVANCES
TO STRONG CLOSE
Stormy Weather In Harvest
Regions Endangers July
New Options.

Chicago, July Scarcity OF wheat
available for delivery on July contracts
resulted to-day in decided furry
among shorts. After nearly vertical
advance throughout most of the ses-
sion, the market closed strong, az &c
to 4bc above last night. Corn finished
4 N 9sc to No sc up, and oats with
gain of 1z@ 5sc to 2I4c. In provisions
the outcome was a decline of 5H nc
to TIC.
Delay In the movements OF new
wheat from first hands was the chief
cause Of anxiety among traders, who
had heretofore been active on the bear
side of the market. Continued stormy
weather in the harvest regions added
materially to-day TO the danger that
the filling of perhaps the bulk of July
options would have to be accomplished
with old wheat, the stocks of which
are at the lowest ebb known in years.
A further consequence Of the incessant
rains was the spread of the belief that
en- Unusual proportion of the new crop
would be Of n quality too inferior 10
meet the requirements on speculative
contracts.
Rushes to cover on the part OF July
shorts made September and December
wheat rise in sympathy, but there was
no such urgency regarding the deferred
months as that which kept July sharply
on the upgrade. Old No 2 hard wheat
in tho Chicago sample market sold at
25hc over July, the highest premium
so far this year. Incidentally, export
advices were less pessimistic than of
late, and it was said the French gov
crument had been buying TO some ex-
tent.
Corn sympathized with the strength
Of wheat. Rural offerings were limited
and there was a fairly good demand
from the seaboard.
Traders in oats were confronted with
signs of possible squeeze in the July
option, paralleling the situation as to
wheat. Active shipping call gave cash
oats a decided lift.
Provisions sagged owing to lower
prices for hogs. The bearish showing
made by warehouse stocks here tended
also to induce a decline.

A Mystery Unexplained.

With the last hope destroyed OF
some kind Of a dividend, Rubber broke
at the opening yesterday from 51s 10
Ga points, and, after the briefest OF
rallies, dropped further TO 44H. There
j, was 30 points below its high rec
ord for the year, made in mid Aprll.
Nineteen Of those 80 points were lost
in less than fortnight. Watching
the stick of the rocket falling there
we're some of the speculative frater-
nifty who wondered sadly why an
altruism that could declare a dividend
in October could not have given more
warning that there would be none IN
July.
