THE R0PED ARENA,
BY HAL SHERIDAN.


In the furore that followed the no.
table victory of Jess Willard in Cuba,
ring experts in all other classes ap-
pear to have dropped out of sight,
barring only the feathers whose eff:
forts to break into the calcium have
netted them little more than a men
ton. -.
From Milwaukee comes news of the
reawakening of Tom Andrews. pro-
moter Of the Cream City Athletic
club, who thinks he has signed Cham
pion Kid Williams of Baltimore to
meet the sensational Johnny Ertle
of St. Paul. in a battle for the ban
tam title. The negotiations seemed
about completed a week ago but
there has been hitch which An
drews apparently does not consider
seriously, as he is going right ahead
with his plans. Ertle and his mana
ger conferred with Andrews and left
satisfied. AS Ertle has resumed
training after a rest of two months,
barring the bout with Pal Moore,
prospects seem bright.
Williams is a tough fighter when
permitted to weigh in at 118 pounds
and Ertle is showing some courage
in conceding the weight.
The glamour seems to have been
stripped from the efforts of the mid
dies by the big heavyweight upset in
Havana. Mike Gibbons, who, since
he won the title from Clabby has
been accepted generally everywhere
but in New York as the king of the
158-pounders, has not appeared in
the arena for long time, all of
which enables Al Mccoy, the joke
champion, who is taken seriously in
America metropolis, to annex the
shekles of credulous Gotham fans who
still have an idea that he can defeat
somebody sometime. Just why Nc
Coy is taken so seriously it is hard
to understand. Billy Murray, Geo.
Chip and others have trimmed Mccoy
with great consistency. Chip made
a monkey of Murray in their last en-
counter in San Francisco, only to sue
cumb to the superior cleverness of
Clabby, who in turn, was defeated
handily by Gibbons. Mike stands out
almost like Ketchel on the records
of past performances, but no: one
seems to know that any of the con-
tenders in his division still are alive,
which goes for Mike. ':ar: j. 49, ~ p:

and then at regular intervals, other
pictures are made. They are en-

that started apparently nowhere has
grown in length. It has turned in
the direction of other white lines,
which the officers know are French
trenches. The general in command

an attack, knowing what to expect.
Aided by the photographs, a corps

These plans are drawn to exact scale
and are kept strictly up to date by the

Of course, the aviators do other
things, like dropping bombs on am

headquarters and occasionally they
engage in duel among the clouds,

CHOOSES SOUTH TO

Some Notable Speeches Are Being Made Before Southern Commer- cial Congress at Musco-
 gee This Week
By HOLLAND

New York, April Special. -Four years ago there were assembled at Atlan- la, Ga. many men of influence in indus Try, commerce. transportation and agri- culture in the southern states, and they were of an organization which was then and is now known as the Southern Com mercial congress. The name suggests fairly well the purposes of the organiza : tion, and in no small measure the general business activity which has recently been 80 distinguished a feature of progress in the southern states was influenced by this organization.
 The gathering at Atlanta has become traditional because upon that occasion nome addresses were delivered which set me nto thinking and which stimulated Eealthful business action. One of these addresses was delivered by George West fnghouse. It was, in fact. the last formal address, @s well one of the few, which MT Westinghouse delivered. He then pointed to the stupendous natural re- sources which exist in all the southern states, and particularly those through which the Appalachian range, or some spur of 1t, passes. The streams, Mr Westinghouse said, contain very great power producing energy which. when properly utilized and converted into elec- tricty, would make it possible for a vast amount of power to be created al a com paratiyely small cost, with wide distrbu- tion.
 If MT. Westinghouse were now living, he would be told. if again he were the guest of the Southern Commercial con- gress. of the really marvellous strides which have been made in the southern states by which natural energy in great amounts, many thousand horsepower, is

business This has been due in part to l the lessons of experience and in part | to the nationwide educational campaign | in which such men of affairs as Judge | Gary, Howard Elliott, James J. Hill, 1 George W. Perkins and others have taken
 part. The committee some weeks ago in- vited Mir. Perkins to deliver an address
 at the meeting of the congress at Mus 1 kogee
 l If anyone Is disposed to get a demon stration of the wonderful changes which
 have taken place since 1911 he will find
 abundant opportunity in reading the At
 lanta address of Mir. Perkins and the ad-
 dress which he delivered Thursday to the
 Southern congress at Muskogee. The first address is in the form of theoretical state-
 ment; it is a prophecy. it points out the | inevitable effect of modern invention and
 the utilization of invention well as the
 triumph of research by American business
 men. The address at Muskogee is a vim
 dication, of many things that were spoken
 at Atlanta. MT Perkins does not confine himself to cancellations. but points out various illustrations drawn from actual ] experience in the United States since | 1911, how gradually, but surely, the Amer ican people are recognizing the economic i principles of these modern times.
 Gradually, but surely, the people are understanding, he is convinced, that if we are fully to meet our opportunities We must prepare to meet them upon a great scale. That involves what is some | times called combination and cooperation which is more than the unifying of
 many activities engaged in like produc- | ton. that great economies can be eff | fected, and by means of great capital it | will be possible to mobilize our resources and energies so that we may capture a | fais share of the foreign markets. The American people are beginning to under stand, according to MT Perkins. that had there been 10 or 15, or 20 independent corporations instead of one which repre- scented combnat ton and cooperation it would have been impossible for us to have
 made the gains in foreign trade for our steel products or for agricultural imple- ments, which we have secured since the year 1900. 1t is without precedent in the history of any commercial nation that, while maintaining it's pre-eminenee as an exporter of foodstuffs and fibre, it has
 also within 10 years increased it's export of manufactured products so that these exports are on a level with the agricul- tural exports. The money value last year of manufactured exports was somewhat in excess of the money value of the ex- ports of foodstuffs and fibre. Yet in 1900 at the time when business men began to
 recognize the newly developed economic principle, our exports of manufactured products were only one-third of our total exports.
 MT. Perkins address, which he was cor dially urged by the Southern Commercial congress to deliver is likely to entail as much discussion a did the address which
 he delivered at Atlanta four years ago.

ANNISTON WORKING
 FOR RATE DECREASE

Montgomery, April 2s.-(Special)--Th Anniston Chamber of Commerce will send large delegation to Montgomery next Monday to appear before the railroad commission in behalf of the petition for a decrease in the coal rate from 70 cents to 50 cents per ton from Birmingham to Anniston.
 The 50-cent rate was fixed by the com mission several years ago for Gadsden, Anniston. Talladega and other cities in that section of the state, but was in- creased to 70 cents last year by order of the commission. The petition of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce asks that this rate be put back to 50 cents per ton
 The Anniston delegation will number 50 leading business men of that city and it is expected that other cities in the Anniston-T -Talladega group will send rep resentatives to Montgomery to ask for the decrease.

Prices Have Seen Lowest Point, Says William P. Redd-C0nsumption Has Surprised Experts

In discussing the cotton situation yes terday William P. Redd of this city. a recognized authority. said to a repre- sentative of The Age Herald:
 There are certain underlying funda- mentals in the cotton situation that make prices for cotton for sometime to come. Cotton has steadily advanced until It has about reached the cost of production. although the average prices for the sea son are considerably under.
 "The purchase of spot cotton for export and for. home consumption since the war has astonished the grower, the dealer. and the statisticiap. Home consumption slightly exceeds slast year. while the amount exported is only 1,oo0.0o0 bales behind. Many conservative cotton men think that exports will equal and home consumption exceed 1914
 "A feature worthy of note is the rapid ty with which it is going into consump- tion. The New York Journal of Com meree observes that the actual destruc- ton of about 100000 bales for explo- sives this season is tantamount to cut ting down the crop from 16.700000 to h. 100000 bales 0inters inelusive) This would indicate that cotton is being bought for actual and immediate consumption, and not for speculation because of the low price,

INTERESTING DISCUSSION
 OF THE COTTON SITUATION


 der normal conditions the world would doubtless consume S.o0O,ooo bales more of American cotton at an average price of tia cents than at 12 cents. When this Is considered in connection with It's abnor- maj use in explosives. it is logical to conclude that our crop of 1914 is likely to be consumed within the 12 months. Pretty April weather and a rise in price | has stimulated the farmer to slightly increase his acreage over and above his February and March calculations. but the speculator is apt to overestimate the in- crease that it is possible for himtto make. when his impaired resources are consid- cred

Conservative reasoning leads us to as- sume that if so many of the best stock were being sold a matter of necessity, they would not be replaced by purchas SC. The reduction in the annual purchases of new stock to replace those, that are deerept and die. will probably equal 80 : eco. making 1600Oo horses and mules with drawn from the field. It Is computed that each horse or mules part of the production of cotton is six bales; there- fore. a loss of slightly over 1.0000d0 bales from this factor alone.

 Another of the addresses delivered at the Atlanta gathering of the Southern Commercial congress was entitled, Mod ern Industrialism. The address was written and read by George w Perkins, and there were at that time. only four years ago, some who heard him or who read the address who wondered whether MT. Perkins was not venturing much too far when he advocated a policy which implied expansion of nationalism.
 MT. Perkins called attention to the fact that marvels of modern invention have brought the people of the world face to face with new and very great commercial and industrial problems. He spoke of communication by means of intelligible symbols and by the telephone of language practically annihilating time and distance. He told the commercial congress that a corporation is a composite of steam cleo tricity and men, and while we have learned how to regulate and control steam and electricity we have not yet learned how to regulate and control corporations. Moreover al that time, Mr Perkins said, the managers of the great corporations were just beginning to realize that their corporations are more nearly public insti- tutions than private property. MT.

 After Four Years
 The annual gathering of the Southern Commercial Congress has been this week in sesion at Muskogee Okla The com nittee which prepared the programme for this meeting was anxious that the ad- dresses should be as memora ble as were those which were delivered at Atlanta four years ago. Between 1911 and l9lo there have been significant and far-reach- ing changes in public opinion respecting business and especially what is called big
