COTTON BEARS ARE
SHARPLY REFUSED
BY ESTES DOREMUS.

The action Of the cotton market
during the week just ended bears
out the forecast of The Journals
annual symp iium published last
| Sunday that the season of 1929
will 1e anything but a picnic for
shorts.
Selling raids on the market met
with strong opposition from bulls
and the net lin over Saturday a
week ago on the close yesterday wa 3
$50 bale for Atlanta spots, and u
corresponding advance in futures
both in New York and New Orleans.
Spot cotton here was quoted at
22.45 Saturday, 1870 points over the
week before and within striking dis
lance Of the crest for the season. The
drop Of Friday was offset Saturday
with gains in New York OF around
81 bale and $3.50 a bale here,
which represents an advance Of
something like SO a bale over the
low levels of short time past.
1t was evident at the beginning
Of last week that the trade was
shifting it's attention from the bear
ish view Of larger new crop receipts
to a considerable reduction in crop
estimates from the last government
figures estimating the potential yield
at II, 100000 bales. The talk of a
possible famine still is in the air,
and if crop conditions continue as
poor as in the last few days, it will
be considerably more than posi-
bility.
A private estimate of a yield Of
100000 bales was potent factor
in the sharp advance Saturday, and
this, coupled with poor crop pros
poets and an improved demand for
cotton goods, helped longs to drive
shorts to cover in the halliday ses-
sion.
AS tire season progresses the
world apparently is growing more
and more alarmed over it's supply
for the coming months as a result
roads of the boil Weevil. The recess
sion Of values to the 20-cent level
was only temporary and as the
trade came to the conclusion that
estimates of the condition of the
growing plant would have to be re.
duced there was a general scramble
for contracts with the result that
values today are well on the way to
new high for the season. 1t now
is believed that end-August figures
will show a falling off of about ten
points in the crop outlook, which
would mean a reduction Of some
thing like 100000 bales in the indi-
Gated yield and bring the next bu-
reau figures near the 100000
mark, which, with the carry-over of
approximately 100000 bales, would
be 100000 less than last season
for the world to draw from.
Add to this the constantly in
creasing circle of demand and you
have a bullish argument that can
not be well answered, because dam
age to the crop is more likely to
grow than to decrease, particularly
during the latter days of August
and early September.
The period through which the
crop now is passing proved it's I'M
doing last year and again it is the
crucial test. The strikes as factors,
have been largely discounted, so far
as their bearish effect is concerned,
and it stands to reason that the
settlements that are certain to come,
as they always have come in the
past, will only decrease confidence
on the constructive side of the mar
ket

SENATOR SIMMONS
CALLS IT INDIRECT
TAX ON CONSUMERS
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
40s Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia re-
markable analysis of the senate tar.
iff bill showing the opportunities 1t
affords for levying approximately
SO 900, 100000 in additional indirect
taxes upon the consumers Of Amer.
lea was furnished The Journal Sat
urday by Senator e. M. Simmons,
ranking Democratic Of the senate
finance committee.
An accompanying table, prepared
by Senator Simmons and expert as
sistants, carries in last tell-tale
column the additional cost to con-
sumner under tariff BILL
Senator Simmons explains that fig
ures in this column are reached by
taking the annual consumption of q
given article, the protection to do
nestle producers or manufacturers
under the Underwood law, additional
protection afforded by the senate bill,
and the pyramiding profits Of the
importers, wholesalers, jobbers and
retailers, until an article comes into
possession of the ultimate consumer.
The table is also based on the as
sumption that the Underwood and
the senate bill rates are fully ef-
fective and operative.
Rates on Commodities
According to the analysis Of Sen
ator Simmons, the story is not told
by merely setting out the high duty
imposed. This duty, paid on the
competitive foreign article, it turned
over several times before the final
sale Of an article, says Senator Sim
mons. The domestic producer or
manufacturer, benefits to the extent
Of the duty and from this initial ex-
ira profit, on down the line to the
retail counter, there is d succession

which the American consumer inev.
itably pays, according to the Demo
cratic leader.
Thus, Senator Simmons takes wool
clothing. The average ad valorem
rate in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
tariff for revenue only" law was
31.6 per cent. The average rate in
the present senate bill is Is per cent.
Based on annual consumption or use
of clothing, the tariff protection to
domestic manufacturers under the
existing tariff law was $685., 100000.
Under the senate bill it jumps to
1929 100000. The estimated total
cost to the consumer under the
Underwood bill was SAT-, 100000.
Under the senate bill it will be ST.
132, 100000, an increased cost OF
$655 100000, Senator Simmons con-
tends.
Sugar Bill to Increase
Using a similar process Of figuring
he estimates he sugar bill of the
American consur- er may be increas-
ed $587,000,000. Sewing machines,
free under the Underwood ~immons
act, may cost $23 100000 more in the
aggregate under the senate bill du-
ties. 1t will cost 100000 addi-
tional per year to buy cutlery, $780,
100000 for buttons, such as go on
fathers trousers or the baby's dress;
$3.50, 100000 will be added on cotton
manufacturers and $685., 100000 on
wool manufacturers, as Senator
Simmons computes the cost.

RENT BILL
WILL PASS TODAY

When the Senate met today IL was
with the expectation that the bill
extending the District rent act for
two years from May % would be
under consideration and perhaps
would be passed before adjournment.
The bill was made the unfinished
business of the Senate on motion of
Senator Ball of Delaware, chairman
of the District committee. late yes
terday afternoon. following the pas
sage of the agricultural appropria-
tion bill.
At the suggestion of Senator Fer
nald of Maine, Senator Ball agreed to
give way during the morning hour
today for the consideration of the
s17,000.000 disqualification bill for
veterans of the world war. But at
2 o'clock the rent bill. as the unfin-
ished business, was due to come up
automatically, provided it was not
reached in She Senate business prior
to that hour.
Senator Jones Of Washington has
offered the following amendment to
the bill. for the purpose of excluding
from the operation of the measure
strictly business properties:
THE term rental property means
any building or part thereof or land
appurtenant thereto in the District
of Columbia rented or hired, and the
service agreed or required by law or
by determination of the commission
to be furnished in connection there
with; but does not include ta) any
portion of an apartment building, (b)
garage or warehouse. or (c) any
other building or part thereof or land
appurtenant thereto used by the ten
ant exclusively for a business pur-
poss other than the subleasing or
otherwise subcontracting for use for
living accommodations"
While sentiment in the Senate is
divided on the Jones amendment. it is
considered likely that the amendment
will be adopted, 80 as TO expedite the
passage Of the bill. Otherwise. it has
been said, long fight would develop

AMAzEDAT WILSON
REBUK|NG TUMU[TY
Politicians See Another
Break in Reputation of
Harmless Remarks.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Woodrow Wilson's public repudia-
tion Of brief and innocuously word
ed message conveyed to New York
political dinner by the man, who for
ten years has been his private secre-
tary, none other than Joseph P.
Tumulty. who lately has published a
most laudatory biography of his
former chief, has brought dismay to
democrats and republicans alike in
the National Capital.
What does 1t mean, Is it another
break between Woodrow Wilson and
an intimate friend, another chapter
in the series of personal differences
with his supporters which began first
with the break between Mr.. Wilson
and George Harvey, then between Mr..
Wilson and Col. House and now be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and his own private
secretary of official days?
The former President lives in Sc
clnsion. Nothing was said on his be-
Tumulty maintained melancholy
silence. 1t is not a happy moment
for the man who battled faithfully
for his chieftain only to be publicly
repudiated on relatively inconse-
quential matter. for all political folks
are agreed that what Mr.. Tumulty
brought to the New York dinner was
so generally phrased as to be of no
especial significance even though
friends of Mr.. Cox may have for their
own reasons seen fit to interpret it
as an Endorsement of the former Ohio
governor.
Easily Passed on.
In other days Woodrow Wilson
would have written to a New York
newspaper in a different vein. He
would have admitted having discus
sed the matter of a message to the
New York dinner with Mr.. Tumulty
and would have said in a public state
ment that he did not intend his re-
marks to be construed for or against
any candidate now or in the future.
This would have confirmed Mr..
Tumulty's own statement of his con-
have disclosed exactly how the
misunderstanding arose between the
two men.
The fact that Mr.. Wilson. without
consulting Joseph P. Tumulty, wrote
a letter to New York newspa Der,
stating that the message read ct the
dinner was not "authoriZed' and did
not see MT 10 Connrm tne conversation
in which the remarks attributed to
him were voiced is accepted on its
face as an evidence of pique on the
part of the former President, and
desire to show the public that Mr..
Tumulty Is not his spokesman.
Incidentally political Washington
has been buzzing for months with the
reports of visits made to the Wilson
shrine by worshipers of the former
President, who are understood to
have criticized severely some Of the
chapters in Mr.. Tumulty's book. They
are said to have urged Mr.. Wilson
to say something publicly or write
something which would offset the i'm
pressions created by certain Tumulty
writings. Many of these visitors are
known to have been Influenced by the
surprisingly unfriendly twist which
critics gave excerpts from the Tumulty
volume.
Visits Become Rare.
Everybody who knows Mr.. Tumulty
is aware that he had no idea of writ
ing anything that would reflect un-

For days, Capt. Lawrence said, he
and his wife and children looked for
ward to moving to their new home.
which they had rented in the coun-
try because the rent was cheaper
than that he had been paying in New
Alexandria. where he and his family
had lived for the last eleven months.
Yesterday afternoon they complet-
ed the task of moving their furniture
and household belongings on the

the spot where it sank for several
days, and vacated their home in New

setting sail early today for Machodoc.

Sighted From Steamer.
The Steamer Northland was piow-
ing its way toward Washington in
a heavy rain, when Capt. Frederick
Posey. in the pilot house, noticed
something in the water close by the
big river steamer: The ship was
stopped Immediately, and quick eX-
animation showed two men clinging
to the top of the mast of the sunken
Kemble. Capt. Posey ordered the
lifeboat manned, and George Eure,
Quartermaster, and J. c. Howe. who
was on the lookout, with three mem
bers of the crew of the Northiand,
set out in the boat and rescued them.
The rescue was effected in eight
minutes.
When Capt. Lawrence and his sen
were brought aboard the Northland
they were fed and given dry clothing
After reaching Washington they were
taken to the harbor precinct and later
went down the river on the police
boat with Lieut. Dean to aid in the
search for the bodies.
Members of the crew of the North
land who rescued the sole survivors
in the disaster. undoubtedly one of the
worst in the annals of the Potomac
river in recent years, said that only a
miracle prevented the Northland from
striking the mast of the Inflated
schooner and probably killing Capt.
Lawrence and his son.
The big river steamer passed within
ten feet of Capt. Lawrence and his
son before Capt. Posey discovered the
men in the water, struggling to hold
tight to the mast of the sunken craft.
When the boat was stopped il was
several hundred yards beyond the
survivors. and the rescuing crew eX-
perienced some difficulty in reaching
them due to the high waves
After describing his narrow escape
from death Carroll Lawrence said his
mother was always afraid on the
water" and she had hesitated before
agreeing to make the trip down the
river. His sister and brothers, he said,
loved the water and had no tear
whatever of the long-planned trip.
