NEW YORK, July Start of
the new immigration quota allotment
for 1924-1925 today witnessed no

equipped with the certificates neces-
sary for immigrants transportation.
No considerable influx of aliens is
expected until the latter part of

Protesting Innocence,
Rogers Goes to Farm

MOULTRIE, Ga, July 1.-Still
protesting his innocence John Rogers,
aged Cook county farmer, convicted
of murder in connection with the kill
ing of his son-in-law, Talley McGill
and the latter's father, Sherrod Nc
Gill has been carried to the state
farm to begin serving a life sentence.
In the meanwhile Rogers motion for
a new trial is pending in the SUI
preme court. Because of the con-
dition of his health, theprisoner is
sale to have requested that he be
moved to the state farm in the hope
of being benefited by working in
the open.
Just before leaving prison Rogers
related the same story that he has
told since he was arrested while in a
drunken stupor short time after
the McGills were found shot to
death on the road between Nash
Vile and Abel. In substance it was
that he was asleep as the truck sped
along the highway between his home
and Barney where the McGills live
and did not wake UP until several
shots had been fired. This frighten-
ed him. he says, and he jumped from
the truck and hurried away.

Worlds Fuel Supply
Near Exhaustion, Plea
For Conservation Says

LONDON, July 1.-Sir Richard
Redmayne, noted British mining eX-
pert. told the international power
conference at today's session of that
body that the oil resources of the
United States would be exhausted in
a generation and the coal supply
within two thousand years.
The coal of the British empire
would be gone within a few cen
turtles. he declared, and attention
should be directed to utilizing the
potential energy in fuel to the best
effect so as to conserve the worlds
supply. A low temperature of car
bonization in coal would be an inn
portant step in this direction.
o. c. Merrill, executive secretary
of the federal power commission of
the United States, the general chair
man, said the United States was
undertaking the greatest water
power development in it's history,
with ten million horsepower under

CoTToNsEED OIL MARKET
POST & FLAGG COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, July 2.-The easier tone of
the early market was promoted by favor
aba weekly weather report and still further
by the condition report which proved better
than expected though still well below the
average for ten years past. Naturally the
figures throtted any disposition to cover
and, in fact, if anything, contracts that
had been covered were being put out again
with local traders also selling for a turn.
With this report in hand it will be natural
that the trade demand should hold off and
wait for better opportunity to buy. while
speculative interests will show more incina-
tion 10 sell on strong spots than to take
the long side. We are. however, now in the
period when crop news can quickly change
for the worse and there is araedy a large
short interest in existence with little or
nothing done as vet by consumers 10 hedge
requirements. July broke with the rest of
the market but remained relatively firm
and 1t is still the case that the report adds
nothing to old crop supplies TO ease the
position of those who are short of that
month. An excellent opportunity is now
afforded fer those who will need cotton to
begin to accumulate the same, though it is
quite poSSibles that the full leffect of the
figures today mas not as yet been felt. En-

Wheat was extremely nervous today
but an outstanding feature was the
ability of the market to absorb the
. offerings.
Prices leaped up sharply at the
opening on general commission house
buying, prompted by the strength
in Liverpool and minute or two lat
er by the bulge in Winnipeg. the
bulge unloosened heavy selling ord
ers, and this pressure was in evil
dence for some time. The selling
was mainly by eastern houses but
pit traders believed the principal
to be d local elevator interest COM
mitted to the long side. This caused
the early advance to be completely
wiped out Around the previous
close buying disappeared from the
pit.
The Canadian crop situation is be
coming more alarming now that tenn
peratures are mounting and mos
ture deficiency remains unrelleveQ.
Strength in Liverpool was attrlbut-
ed to the buying by millers and an
estimate of Bromhalls that the
drought in southern Europe wound
amount to 1875, 100000 bushels. Pri-
vate cables told of four cent adj
vanceS in -BuenoS Aires and this
caused buying about midday. Board

board reported good inquiry for

| PROTEST MUST BE ENTERED

(The News-Leader, August 49,
If it be true, as reported, that the
Hopewell shopkeeper cannot identity
any of the twenty Negroes who
rushed his store yesterday and stole
his stock, where was the sense in
arresting 24S and in bailing them to
appear for trial at Hopewell? There
are only two answers: Either some
body lost his head, or else the move
is designed to break up Negro ex'
cursions to Hopewell. If the latter
be the object, anything that Hope
we'll can do within the law to pre-
vent objectionable excursions most
surely will have the backing OF Rich
monders. But it is not just to send
24S Negroes to- the station house,
when only twenty of them were In
volved, to require all these Negroes
10 pay 81 bail-fee and to put on them
the expense of a trip to Hopewell
for a hearing that can only result
in acquittal? 1t was fine for the
magistrates who collected the fees,
but it was not fair to the Negroes.
And the best evidence it was not fair
is the fact that it never would have
been attempted if the people on the
returning boat had been white.
