ADMINISTRATOR
 WILL NOT MODIFY
 SUGAR REGULAT|0N

Montgomery, July Especial )--F'ollow- that retail dealers had been unable to obtain sugar because they had not got ten sugar certificates from the food ad- ministration, Richard M. Hobbe, state there would be no modification of the rule and that retailers will be unable to Oh tain certificates until they have made formal application and submitted in formation called for by the administra- tion.
 Administrator Hobbie made the state ment when told that Mobile dealers were unable to obtain sugar
 Although the food administration has informed dealers for several days that sugar certificates would be necessary 10 purchase sugar from iobbers only a few have applied for certificates, said MT. Hobbe This is no fault of the food administration, but a result of the old policy of procrastination. There can be no such suspension of the rule
 "A retail dealer must file a certificate Tissued by the food administration before he can obtain sugar from jobbers. Other consumers except homes must furnish cer- tificates A dealer is prohibited from sell ing to boarding house which feeds 9 or more persons unless a certificate is presented.
 Tt is a small matter for a dealer or anyone involved in the new order to ob- tain certificates by filing the proper in- formation"

Another Protest Made by Conner E. On Substitution of Low-Grade Cotton Declares Department of Agriculture Is Being Used by Exchanges Farmers Are Losing, Ruling Having Directly Opposite
 Effect From That Intended He Says E.

Ex-Gov. B. B. Conner, president of the Avondale Cotton Mills, in a letter to the representatives and senators from cotton producing states, has made another pro- test against the practice of assembling low grade cotton at exchanges and us- ing it as a substitute for middling
 Governor Conner declares that Charles J. Brand, chief of the bureau of markets is acting under apprehension and that the department of agriculture is be- ing used by the cotton gamblers.
 The attitude of the department is cost ing the farmers millions of dollars he says, and instead of stimulating the use of grade cotton as it was intended to do is having directly the opposite eff feet, he charges.
 Governor Corners letter goes into the subject exhaustiveiy and appeals for somt remedy.
 In telegram to Secretary David Hous- ton of the department of agriculture Governor Conner calls attention to his let ter and protesting against the attitude of the department. He alleges that this is entirely defeating business protection under the Smith-Lever bill.
 His letter to the congressman follows
 Letter to Congressman
 To Hon. Ellison D. smith,
 Senator from South Carolina. Hon. Hoke Smith,
 Senator from Georgia.
 Senators and Representatives of all the
 Cotton States:
 Following unsatisfactory conference with MT. Charles J. Brand, chief of bp- reau agricultural department in Sena- tor Ellison D. Smiths office, Senator FIoxe smith and the Alabama congress- men being present, regarding the de moralization in the cotton exchanges and big difference between the cotton eX- change prizes and commercial prices and big losses consequent thereto, We have had an attorney go over the cotton fu- lures act and there is no question but what the law contemplates a contract based on middling; that the law of supply and demand should govern and that all tenders under contract should be or the supply and demand basis taken from the actual market.
 This is embraced in section D. Section G. ' and of the act give the control ot the operation of the law to the Secre- tary Of Agriculture and through him te the bureau of markets. MT. Brand, chiai of bureau, in his administration of the futures act, is attempting to regulate the law of supply and. demand and really believes that the assembling of the quoted value of all the grades from Il spot mar xets and striking an average, making what he calls composite price both O middling and of all the other grades
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-07-02

above and below midding, is the right method.
 Cnused Demorniixation
 Notwithstanding this method has made the exchange middling to cents below commercial middling. and made the ex- change deliveries of assembled, unusuable low grades, also at composite prices have by his authority been made legal tenders in the fulfllment of their con tract and caused great demoraliza tion and loss in the cotton market.
 The assembling of low grade cotton at exchange centers New York and New Orleans, and rendering on contracts at hctitious prices, which prices are made by the quotations in 10 spot markets does not accomplish increased consumption; IL takes out of the consumptive market all these accumulated low grades, puts them in speculative market. not for the purpose of increasing but of depressing prices, and to the fullest extent hurts the farmer now and for the future
 If the agricultural department desires to increase the consumption, to increase tho demand for low grade cotton and thus help the farmer, there could be no more abortive place to carry it than to tha exchanges. The allowing by the de- partment of agriculture the tender of a multiplicity of low grades on one con- tract kills the absorption from the ex- changes of this cla ss of cotton because there is not one contract hefeer in hun dred that can use their huddlngs of low grades: hence these low grades are tied like an albatross to the neck of the market and are used by the exchanges not to help the price of cotton today or of the future. not to help the farmer, but to make money for themselves by the uses which they can make of these two decks of marked cards exactly like they did before the cotton futures act
 HcIn Is CamouflngeI
 The farmers. the manufacturers and consumer. within the cotton futures act. have only one reliance, and that is the market price as made by supply and de- mand. as uncontrolled as possible by ex- traneous influences. particularly the agri- cultural bureau. This helping the farmer through the exchanges uncontrolled is a camouflage as evident as the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood or as the Hun in Russia.
 Low grades should, as far as possible. be left for assembly as near the place of production as possible and shipped di- rect by the parties most interested to the manufacturer who can best use them. The assembling of the low grades at the exchanges, possibly the further point from consumption, hurts at least the cost of this double handling as we'll as the manipulation of the market.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
 WILL EXPEDITE
 BUILDING WARSH|PS
New Bill Will Make It Pos sible to Begin on the Pro-
 gramme at Once

Washington, July 1.-Steps to expe- dite as much as possible construction of the remaining AS vessels, including battle cruisers and super r-dreadnauShts of the 156 authorized in the three-year naval building programme approved by Congress two years ago, already have been taken by the navy depart ment
 This was discolsed tonight by Sec ing the provisions of the 1,600, 900, ,jGo naval appropriation bill recently passed by Congress and to which Pres ident Wilson today attached his sig nature.
 'The bill said the Secretary, makes it obligat tory to begin construc- tion of all of the IS vessels of the 156 vessels comprising the three-year pro- gramme. authorized in the act of Au- gust 20. 1916, the construction Of which has not previously specifically been directed to be begun. I am keenly interested in the early execution of this programme and have regretted that lack of facilities due to the big demand for destroyers, transports and cafSo ShlpS mas rendered It necessary to somewhat abate the fine progress that was being made. However I r2- quested that the act be worded in this mandatory way, for it is my earnest desire and expectation to carry it out and I have already taken steps to ex- pedite construction as much as pos sible.
 Money is not only provided for com pleting the big three-year programme, Ir,t DI1 nn "A available for additional torpedo-boat destroyers, submarine chasers, and other naval craft as the exigencies Of the war may make necessarN."

 We still have POO bales of low grade. cotton delivered us on May contracts in New York, graded as % under the price of middlng. on these contracts we lost as the difference between the compositel price made by tho bureau of agricultuses and the commercial price, 5c per pound,s or $2500 on each contract-SaetO in aiLs We have never been able to get an offer. on this cotton except the general propo-i sition 10 sell contracts on the exchanges and redeliver, proving the absolute sh-s surdty Of increasing the use of lows grades of cettonb by assembling and ten-s dering on the exchanges.
 Purchase Dead Loss
 Not only this, but We are now advised that it is ret advisable to offer this cut-s ton on the exchanges. as it would prob ably be rejected because of the staple. It looks q s.ood deal like we have a dea dog. And all Of this done under the supervision of one of Uncle Sam's bureaus
 It looks like tho agricultural depart ment, when they took the cotton market away from supply and demand basis aud made d connosite price to abate the de- mand for middling and above. and force] the demsnd for the lower grades remov- ing the pressure from the one~and in CTGaSlllis sIc use Ol tue OluGT lOTi CJlcl profit of the farmer, made very serious mistake, one which is costing the cotpl- try many millions of dollars.
 We understand the cotton futures aetl is against s-ll of this and that all thatsis| necessary is to persuade the agricultural department of the error of their ways. In other words, that the cotton futuresi act intended the market to be regulated| by the law of supply and demand anal not by the consciences of the exchanges.I or composite quotations from Il spot| markets. The federal reserve banks are issuingI millions of paper money which is perl fectly good because redeemable at faceI or par value; the cotton exchanges havej sold thousands of contracts which arel rotten because the agricultural bureau| allows them to deliver below par or mil -I ding value The assembling of iowl grades, unusuable cotton without mar-| ketable value and far away from sup | ply and demand prices, absolutely unre{ deemable, destroys every semblance oq verity of business, of government protec | tion and is only comparable to ths| Louisiana lottery or Central American| politics, all the uncertainties which ap7 pertain to a thimblerigging contract ard realized.

 Now Ready to Return

Washington. July 1-The American destroyer Cassin, which was torpedoed in European waters on October 16, last, has been repaired at British yard and has been returned to station with the American destroyer forces, the navy department today announced.

Ingram was the first man of the American sea forces killed in action, and his memory has been honored by the naming of a torpedo boat destroyer in his name.
