Reports Mexico Quiet
Banker Blames Germans for
Rumors Of Unrest

James B. Glenn, representative Of a
French banking firm in Mexico City,
went to the Office of the Mexican Con
sui, at 12O Broadway, yesterday to
have his passport vised, and expressed
the opinion that reports Of disturbed d
conditions in Mexico were part of the
German propaganda in this country
Mr.. Glenn was formerly United States
Consul at Guanajuato.
He came North from Mexico City
last month without encountering
bandits or other evidences of unrest
he said, making the trip in Pullman

cember he had similarly uneventful

Traffic police had been put on the
streets of Mexico City. he said. to
handle the increasing numbers of au-
tomoblles; mining was being resumed
and on his way to the border he saw
many trainloads of tractors for agri
cultural work
II can only reach the conclusion y
he said. that newspaper reports of
disturbed conditions have been in
spired by German propagandsts IT
is certain that the educated classes of
Mexico are strongly pro Ally"

new exchange for dealing in cotton,
l;nters, cotton oil, grain, sugar, coffee,
wool, silks and provisions, to be known
as the American Cotton and Grain Ex-
change, will be opened here May !, &C
cording to announcement made yester-
day. The exchange, which is incor-
porated in New York, has taken title TO
an Office building at II Wall Street.
The dealings of the new institution
will be upon "spot" basis, with "rea-
sonable brokerage charges" according
to the president of the exchange, Jo-
and customers, it is said. will be able
to buy in small quantities.
the announcement naturally occa-
sloned some surprise in Wall Street,
and many inquiries were made as to
Mr.. Cooper and his project Little
could be learned about either in the
financial district. In response to re-
quests the Tribune Bureau of Inves-
legations recently has been making in
quiries about Mr.. Cooper and the ex-
change of which he is president Fol
tive of the bureau. Mr.. Cooper's attor-
neys sent a letter to The Tribune's
representative on February 10, of which
the following is an excerpt:
Speaking for Mr.. Cooper. desire to
reiterate all that said to You in rela
ton to him. He was born and reared in
Georgia On farm where he remained
engaged in agricultural pursuits until
he attained the age of tweuty-one. He
then went 70 Athens, Ca, where he
lived for ten years or more While
there he built and operated an oil mill
most successfully. He became one of
the prominent business men of that
community until he sold out his busi-
ness.
Busy Career in Atlanta
He then removed to the city of Al.
lanta, where he purchased one of the
most beautiful and valuable homes on
Peachtree Street. the aristocratic resi-
Dental street in that city. While there
he engaged in trading in oil mills and
ether industrial properties. During his
career he bought and sold oil mills at
Ssndersville and other points in Geor-
gia and Alabama, and thereafter bought
large cotton oil refinery and com
pound plant in the City of Washington.
D. c., and after operating this for
year and half sold it for a large
profit.
Like all gentlemen engaged in busi-
ness enterprises, he has had his ups and
downs. He has made money and lost
money, but from very thorough in
vestlgation of and long and intimate
acquaintance with Mr.. Cooper am un-
able to find any evidence or trace of
any crooked or unfair dealings during
the entire period of his activities"

Cunard Line Will
Build Skyscraper
At Bowling Green
Home of Aaron Burr,
Stevens House and Other
Landmarks Bought

No. Morris Street, once the home
of Aaron Burr, the old Stevens House
and other landmarks in the Bowling
Green area, bounded by Broadway.
Greenwich and Morris Streets, have
passed into the hands Of the Cunard
Line, and Thomas Ashley Sparks,
agent of the steamship company here.
announced yesterday that plans were
being made to erect n skyscraper
which will cost between $10,00O,0O0
and $15,OO0,O0O
The plans have not yet passed the
preliminary drawing stage, and con-
struction work probably will not begin
building is completed the Cunard
company will be the first of the great
international Steamship lines to own
its own home in New York.
The building will stand directly op-
posite the Standard Oil Building and
diagonally across from the Custom
House.
The deal, said to be the largest in
downtown real estate since Colonel T.
Coleman du Pcnt bought the Equitable
block for the largest Office building in
the world, affords the steamship COM
pany frontage of 2O3.8 feet on Broad
way.
The properties were purchased from
the heirs of w. r. Mairs, a wall paper
manufacturer. who owned the Broad
way frontage; the Manhattan Railway
Company, which controlled the Green
wich Street frontage, and the heirs of
John 7. Brennan, who owned the Nor
rs Street plots. The combined pur-
chases give a ground area of 48,4O0
feet
Henry C. Irons and John r. Todd, of
Irons & Todd, made the purchase and
will erect the building, each floor of
which will have an area of about 45, 900
square feet.
On completion the structure will be
turned over to the 25 Broadway Cor
poration, to be organized by Mr..
Sparks and other Cunard officials, as
holding concern. Title to the prop
erty will be passed probably day to
the corporation.
Preliminary sketches for the build
ing are being made by Benjamin w.
N orris. Carere & Hastings are the
consulting architects. The Cunard Line
is to occupy the basement and first
and second floors.
The Stevens House was built in 1904
and seventytive years ago housed Del
monico's. 1t was bought by Mr.. Mairs
in 1891. Upon its roof still stand two
lions cast by the Saracen Iron Works
of Glasgow, Scotland, for the British
Consulate, which once occupied it.
