s. 3. Tanner Exposes the Tricks Of the
Cotton Gamblers.


Cotton Gamblers.
Passage Of the bill now before con-
gress, providing for the regulation Of
the grading Of cotton when sold to the
mills by brokers on contract, was ad-
vocated yesterday by s. B. Tanner, OF
Charlotte, president of Henrietta mills.
He declared this measure, If enacted,
would be one Of the most effective re-
medies for unsatisfactory conditions In
the cotton market, as it would insure
the speculator Of the grade Of cotton
bought by the mill on contract.
Mr.. Tanner claimed that, because
the farmers are holding high-grade
cotton on account of the low price now
being offered and because there is
big supply Of low grade cotton on the
market, cotton spectators are trying
to shove off on the manufacturers in
ferior grades at cost only slightly be-
low the price quoted for basic mid
ding, and this inferior grade is abso-
lutely useless to the manufacturers OF
this section.
There are three grades superior to
middlire cotton, and there are num-
Der of grades inferior, Mr.. Tanner ex-
planned. In buying cotton an average
middling, which may be obtained by
putting in q share Of inferior grade
cotton and an equal grade OF
higher grade, is wanted. This can be
used for manufacturing purposes. but
spectators quote prices on middlins'
and when the time comes for the mill
man to buy the spectators excuse
themselves with the remark that they
cannot supply the middling at the price
quoted, but that they can supply this
inferior grade at price slightly lower
than the price quoted, usually two
or three cents lower, Mr.. Tanner said.
However, for cotton sold two or three
cents lower than the quoted price the
spectators had to pay seven or eight
cents less than the price for which they
sold 1t, he claimed.
The bill before congress would force
the spectators, in selling cotton, to
give an average middling-equal por-
tions of low-grade and high-grade cot
ton so that the whole would make an
average middling.
Mr.. Tanner referred to the pure food
law as an illustration Of the point. Un-
der this law a concern cannot Sell par
rel of potatoes, advertised at the price
of good potatoes one-half Of which
are good potatoes, one fourth partly rot
ten and the remaining fourth entirely
rotten. The barrel Of potatoes sold at
price quoted for good potatoes must
come up to the proper standard
The law, at present allows the spec
ulator to sell the inferior grade cot
ton as 1t stands without mixing with
better grade, Mr.. Tanner explained
He argues that this should not be per-
mitted, as it Is the cause Of the down.
ward trend Of cotton and actually en-
ables speculators to force the cotton
growers to sell their product at low
price.
Just now the farmers are holding
their cotton because Of the low price.
However, they cannot hold it always
he points out, and the spectators are
lowering the demand for middling and
higher grade cotton by throwing this
inferior grade, which was described by
Mr.. Tanner as Of no more value to the
cotton manufacturers than hay. on to
the market at two or three cents less

TO INVESTIGATE BoLsHEyIKI
Senate Fears That Dangerous Plets
Are Brewing.

Senate Fears That Dangerous Ftots
Are Brewing.
Sweeping Investigation Of bolsheytk,
I. w. w. and other propaganda has
been ordered unanimously by the SEN
ate after two hours Of tempestuous
discussion in which several senators
declared that organizations were plot
ting to overthrow the American gov
ernment by violence.
The senate Judiciary subcommittee,
which for more than year has been
investigating pro-German and brew
ers propaganda. was authorized by
the senate resolution to conduct the
new inquiry. The committee will be-
gin work probably next Friday. Sem
ator Overman said the new investiga-
tion would cover a wide range.
The resolution offered by Senator
Walsh Of Montana, Democrat, and
adopted without q roll call. or dissent
ing voice, extended the committees
power to inquire concerning any ef-
forts being made to propagate In this
country the principle Of any party ex-
ercising or claiming to exercise au-
thority in Russia, whether such efforts
originate in this country or are In
cited or financed from abroad, and
further to inquire into any effort to
incite the overthrow Of the govern
ment of this country or all govern
ment by force. or by the destruction
of life or property, or the general cos
sation Of industry.
Senators Joined In tmpassioned de-
nunciation Of the alleged propaganda
ana also of a meeting held In WASH
ington last Sunday at which the Rus
sian soviet government was praised as
superior to the American form Of gov
ernment.
The senate's action looking to the
suppression Of the alleged seditious
propaganda came Unexpectedly. sena-
tor Myers of Montana, opened the dis
cussion with vigorous criticism OF last
Sundays public meeting, held In
theatre owned by the government, and
said any member Of congress who
smoke at the meeting In support OF the
Kusslan soviet should be expelled.
Senator Kellogg Of Minnesota, de-
nounced q proclamation in q st. Louis
newspaper entitled, "Lenine's Appeal
to the Bolshevik Of America" ana
said criminal propaganda aimed at
a violent overthrow Of the govern
ment, was active in the United States.
Senator Weeks Of Massachusetts,
Republican, declared the American
people did not understand that the
real purpose behind the propaganda
was the overthrow Of their govern
ment and that until they do under
stand, it could not be stamped out.
The resolution was regarded by the
subcommittee as authorizing an In
ouiry into the activities Of the !. W..
W., which was referred to by Senator
Thomas of Colorado as "criminar
organization. Senator Kellogg declar-
ed that the I. w. w. was seeking to
wreck the government by force.
The new inquiry by the overman
committee was ordered just az the
committee was concluding its long In
yestigation Of brewery and German
propaganda, q report on which now
probably will be deferred.

COMMANDING OFFICER AND EXECUTIVE KILLED
 AT SOUTHER FIELD

Ameriols, Ga, April 3.-Lieutenant Colonel Frederick T. Dickman, com manding officer at .Souther flying field near here, and Major John w. Butts, executive officer of the field, were killed late today in a fall Of about 200 feet. Colonel Dickman is a son of Major General Dickman. commanding the Third army of 0c- cupation on the Rhine.
 The two officers. Major Butts as pilot and Colonel Dickman, in the second seat, had gone up for their usual afternoon flight and had made the last turn of the field preparatory to landing. From the ground, 1t ap- peared that Major Butts attempted to turn. The wind was coming In gusts and apparently caught the air- plane with full force in such way as to lift the tail vertically into the air.
 The usual nose dive followed and the airplane crashed to the earth.
 When officers and men reached them, the two fliers were breathing but unconscious and both died with in few minutes.
 Both Colonel Dickman and Major Butts were graduates of West Point and each leaves widow and one child residing here.
 Major Butts, native of Cisco, Texas, was 2S years old. He was noted as a fine athlete and an expert rifleman and revolver shot.
