 Recalls Legal Battle
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.-The release of Frederick Hyde from the federal prison of Atlanta, Ga, recalls one of the most notable legal battles in the west.
 Hyde was indicted, along with a number of confederates, December 31, 1905, charged with conspiring to de- fraud the government out of thou sands of acres of land in California, Oregon and Washingto. He was con victed in the lower courts and sen tenced to serve two years imprison- ment and pay fine of s1O,O0O. The case was appealed, until it finally found it's way to the United States supreme court where it was reviewed three times, resulting in a confiflna- tion of the lower courts order.
 During the progress of the trial before the supreme court at Wash ington, congress by a special act was forced to appropriate a sufficient sum to cover the expense of two hundred witnesses connected with the trial.

 The sinking of the trawlers is alleged here, to be violation of the Hague convention of 1907, which exempts fishing vessels from molestation.
 The Russians have also taken the offensive against German forces in the region of Koziouwka, near the UZsOk Pass, which have long been launching attacks against the Russian position. In that district a large number of pris- oners is reported captured. Against these reports of Russian success the Austrians make the claim they have repulsed all Russian attacks in the Beskid range mountains and farther east The Russians say they have suc- cessfully countered an Austrian raid into Bessarabia in ChOtin. Their re- ports say that units of the forty-sec- ond Honved division of the Austrian army which undertook this diversion were virtually annihilated. and over 2000 survivors captured.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 2S.-The fixing
of the state tax rate yesterday at
$3.50 per thousand, which is only SO
cents above the present rate, was not
only a pleasant surprise, in view of

values have all held up much better
than was expected.
The rate was fixed at a conference
between the governor, the Comptroller
general and the tax commissioner. OF
this levy $4.6S will be devoted to gen

schools, while twelve cents will go to
the sinking fund under the provision

Especial to Times-Recorder)


ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2S.-Leading
cotton men here do not believe that
it will be possible for Great Britain to
enforce its contraband on cotton, j.
the United States makes determined
protest.
They point out that during the war
with Japan, Russia placed cotton on
the contraband list, and Great Britain
promptly entered protest which was
sustained.
The protest voiced by Great Britain
was in the following language:
British India is by far the largest
exporter of raw cotton into Japan The
quantity of raw cotton that might be
utilized for explosives would be inf :
Intestinal in comparison with the bulk
of the cotton exported from India to
Japan for peaceful purposes, and to
treat harmless cargoes of this latter
description as uncondition contraband,
would be to subject a branch of limo
cent commerce which is especially i'm
portant in the form established to a
most unwarranted interference"
During last fall, American shippers
found it impossible to get cotton into
northern Europe on account of the in
fluence used by Great Britain to keep
it out and the threat that it was to
be made contraband.
The English ambassador at Wash
ington was called upon to obtain q
definite statement from his government
upon the subject, and the following is
an extract from his report OF October
&c, 1914, which Atlantans interested
in the export of cotton filed away at
the time
Last night l receive a reply from
Sir Eward Grey in which he author
ICES me to give the assurance that cot !.
ton will not be seized. He points out
that cotton has not been put in any
of our lists of contraband 1t is,
therefore, so far as Great Britain is
concerned, in the free list, and will
remain there"

GRADING AND CARE
Of COTTON SEED IS
NEW PLAN WORKED
RULES BEING SENT OUT TODAY
CRUSHERS ALREADY BEGUN
WORK IN SOUTH GEORGIA
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2S.--In order 70
encourage the improvement in the
important part of the cotton crop
throughout the South, the Cotton Seed
Crushers' association of Georgia has
prescribed rules for grading cotton
seed, and these important and inter-
esting rules are incorporated in the
annual proceedings of this association
which are being mailed out from At
lanta today by Secretary Treasurer F.
P. Chivers of this city.
This is a beginning of a movement
throughout the South to grade cotton
seed on the same principal that lint
cotton is graded, Cor the reason that
all seed are not worth the same, but
the better grade seed are worth more
than the ordinary run.
1t is recalled that during the de
preston of 1914, when there was no
market for lint cotton, the cotton oil
mills always furnish a market for
cotton seed.
In addition to the rules under which
the members of this association oper-
ate among themselves, the proceed
ings contain a number of interesting
addresses and reports as delivered be-
for that convention held at Hotel Ty-
bee, Tybee Island, Ca, this year.
1t is expected that crushing will
be begun by all of the mills in the
state early in September, some few
having already begun in south Geor
gia.
