bucket shop raid. There were certain
indications that this was the proper in

COppers to the Front.

h new feature OF the day was the
strength Of the copper shares. Under
the lead of Inspiration, which rose more
than 8 points on heavy trading, the
whole list of coppers 'perked up" Ten

strictly a copper. but has entered the

pers is an interesting development. For
weeks and even months speculation has
been distinctly neglectful OF h coppers
for no good and sufficient reason. A
diversion of speculative interest to the
coppers may be mad at the expense OF
some of the industrials which have re-

AID COTTON Men
McAdOO Plans Deposit of Thir-
ty Million Dollars.
Treasury's Protecting Arm
Around Southern Growers.

Washington, Aug. 2A.-Treasury Of
ficia1s have made public an announce
ment by Secretary McAdoo that in
view of the action of the allies in put
ting cotton on the contraband list, he
would. if it became necessary, depos-
it $3.50, 100000 or more in gold in the
federal reserve banks to rediscount
loans on cotton secured by warehouse
receipts made by national banks and
state banks Belonging to the federal
reserve system.
The gold would be deposited, tenn
porarily, at least, without interest
charge. 1t was explained that if it
appeared that the object could be ac-
complished with greater efficiency
thereby, the deposits would be made
directly with national banks agreeing
to lend money on cotton at a rate not
to exceed six per cent.
THE secretary said that one of his
chief objects was to create a basis for
such enlarged credits in the south that
the banks will have ample resources
to extend to producers such accom-
modations that they will be able to
carry cotton in warehouses for a reas-
enable time until it can be marketed

since 1901 prisoners had been allowed
to work in the homes of prison en-
ployees outside of the prison walls.
This practice was stopped by the 191 B
law, which prohibited it.
Brown stated that under former
administra tions-not being allowed
by the commission to say whether or
not it was under OCding-cCnVictS
in citizens clothes had been allowed
to act as servants for the warden and
drive the family rigs. He also testi-
fled that as far back as he could re-
member there had always been fac
tiolal rows among the employees of
the prison. One of the charges against
Botkin IS that there has been a fac
tional feeling at the prison.
Mine Conditions Good.
Adding to the strength of the testi-
mony of Day concerning the prison
mines, Harry BOusfield, who has
been a miner for forty years and who
has been connected with the prison
for several years, stated that the
prison mines were as safe any
mines he had ever seen and the air
conditions were the best he ever
found anywhere. r. P. Duncan, line
foreman, testified that conditions gem
orally and the system at the prison
We're good and that drastic punish
ment had been abolished.
