COTTON MEN
EXPECT To
BE n EF 7
BY BILL
Promised Relief Through
Tincher Measure Which
Has Been Unanimously
Reported by Agricultural
Committee in House.
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, May 6-With a
vote of 294 to 49 the house passed the
bill authorizing farmers to form or
ganizations for collective marketing,
which will be immune from prosecu-
tion under the Sherman antitrust law.
Representative Tincher, republican,
of Kansas, has filed with the house a
unanimous report from the agricul-
tural committee recommending the
passage of his bill to regulate grain
exchanges which deal in futures. 1t
meets the views of the entire member
ship of the committee, the report said,
and is in complete consonance with the
views of the secretary of agriculture.
The report asserted the measure will
absolutely wipe out ups and downs and
indemnities, and while it will not
abolish speculation, or what is known
to the trade as legitimate hedging it
will absolutely destroy manipulation
and ii will make for uniformity among
all markets.
Mr. Tincher said he expected to get
the bill up in the house possibly at the
end of next week.
California and Arizona cotton men
are expecting much from the Tincher
bill, which is expected to include an
amendment section permitting the
dealing in long staple cotton futures
as an insurance "hedge" to protect
both the farmer and the mills in con-
tracing for this variety of cotton.
Both Los Angeles, Arizona and I'M
perial Valley growers representatives
were in Washington recently and ar
gued before the agricultural commit
tee in favor of an amendment to the
present law presented by Congressman
II. z. Osborne.
Although evidently the Osborne
amendment was not acted upon favor
ably-seeing that the Tincher bill was
reported out favorably-it it believed
that Tincher so amended his own bill
that it included the relief prayed for
by Capt. Osborne and the southwest
cotton men.
The law as now constituted permits
dealing in short-staple cotton futures
which include 10 grades of the cotton
now grown in the South.
This does not provide for dealing in
the more valuable Pima-or long
staple-cotton grown in California
ana ArlZOHd, anu consequently DoIIi
sellers and buyers of this species must
take their chances on long-term con-
tracts.
Congressman Tincher is reported to
have promised relief to the western
cotton men, as he is alleged to have
stated that they were getting the
worst of it under present conditions.
tt is believed here that the new bill
contains the relief clauses prayed for.
Farmers also believe that the collss-
tive marketing bill will give them an
opportunity to control their crops so
that they will be able to secure produc-
ton costs and reasonable profit at all
times.
These bills are declared to be of
the utmost Importance to farmers all
over the country.

WANT CORBETT
AS REFEREE OF
TITLE BATTLE
Six Well KnOUn Sports Are
EiigibLe For Third Man in the
Ring.
(Ry United Press)


NEW YORK, May 6.-With the nam
ing of the site and the date for the
Dempsey Carpenter scrap, the next
important detail is the selection of a
referee.
The champion and the challenger
will be allowed to decide upon the
third man in the ring from list of
six prominent ring figures listed in
the original agreement.
James J. Corbett. James Jeffries,
James Dougherty. Robert Edgren, Ot-
to Floto and Bill Brown comprise the
list of candidates.
Recently it has been reported that
this list is not binding and that jim
Coffroth might be named.
The choice of the principals is sub
ject to the approval of Tex Rickard,
promoter of the bout.
While Rickard has not opened his
mouth on the question, it is under
stood that he favors Corbett The
former heavyweight champion is a
very popular man. has big name, in
the sport and his presence in the ring
would be a step further in Richard s
plan to make the show the greatest
in history.
Cofbett is high in the esteem of Car
pentier and Descamps, but this may
cause disfavor in the Dempsey camp.
The same may be said of Bob Ed
gren, former sport editor of the New
York Evening World, who is a person
al friend of the champion, which may
cause him to be opposed in the French
fold.
Bill Brennan perhaps is the least
known of the seXtet out of New York
He is a prominent referee with long
experience in the ring. He is reported
to be Governor Miller's choice for the
chair of the new state boxing commits
SION The other candidates are well
known but are not so prominent
"Any one of the officials suggested
would be satisfactory to u.s." Jack
hearns, manager of the champion,
said.
Descamps attitude is not known, but
Victor Breyer, Richards Paris agent
recently cabled here that Descamps
had suggested to him it would not be
bad idea to have a Frenchman for one
of the judges
Under the no-decisiOn regulations
which prevail in New Jersey much of
the responsibility will be removed from
the shoulders of the referee Judgment
in counting and accuracy of tn eyes in
detecting fouls will be the most irl-
portant requisites.

was in company with border char
acter known as Jack Martin, who was
afterward identified as John d. En-
lund, who has been wanted by the inn
