Lowden today advocated the preser

with whatever laws are necessary to
give U full effect, and announced chat
he stood for the League of Nations
with "substantially the Lodge reser

(Special to The Banner.)
Atlanta, Ga., June 4.—The first case
tn the Federal courts of this state
on a charge of profiteering—tech
nically charging violation of the pro
visions of the Lever act—began be
fore Judge Sam Sibley In Atlanta this
morning. The Oglesby Grocery Com
jany, as a corporation, and 11s pres
ident are Joiatly Indicted on a charge
of violation of the prices fixed by
the Fair Price Commission, arriving
at a talk- margin of profit In the sale
of sugar.
District Attorney Hooper Alexan
der, In outlining his case to the
court, made the flat declaration that
he’ Lever act confers the necessary
authority upon commissions to com
pute and promulgate figures as a fair
margin on which to trade In the food
commodities, It Is a matter of net-
(islty, he said, chat tho public be pro*
tected from profiteering In the neces-

of those authorities created by It.
It has been the contenUon of mer
cantile Interests, and the opinion or
their attorneys, since the creation of
the fair price commission, that Con-
grass has never conferred the right
rf price fixing, nor had Congress
sought to sst up a system of price
fixing In this country. If It had the
authority to do so. On that point,
commercial organizations of Atlanta
have obtained strong opinions from

COTTON RAISING SUCCESSFUL
IN BRITISH SOUTH AMERICA
(By Associated Press.)

tho crop this season will be consider
ably larger than the last, which total

Pawtucket,' It. 1., June 4.—The "Old
Slater Mill," the hirtbplaco of the
cotton textile Industry in America,
is to be preserved as a show place
and a museum for textile machinery.
A commute* of manufacturers has
taken title to the property and later
will turn It over to the city or to a
permanent memorial association.
The mill was erected in 1793 and In
it Samuel Slater started the manufac
ture of cotton fabrics. No plans for
cotton manufacturing machinery were
allowed at the time to be sent out
of England, but Slater carried the
plans In his mind and when he arriv
ed In Pawtucket was able to work out
almost exactly the famous Arkwright
models, .‘ime or the machinery that
was made Trout his plana and used In
the old mill is still In exlsteifce and
will be exhibited In the museum.
The haircloth industry In America
also had its beginning In tho Slater
Mill. In 1855 a number of Pawtucket
men began the manufacture of hair
cloth in competition with the Euro
pean manufacturers. The latter, it la
declared, resorted to desperate
urea to prevent (he new industry
spreading to this country and the
Pawtucket concern was hard pushed
und facing fall- re when a Providence
Inventor, Isaac C. Lindsey, invented a
self-feoding power loom, which en
abled them to compete successfully
with European manufacturers.
The plans call for the restoration
of the mill property to Its original con
dltton. The plant has not been used
for some years and is much In need
of repairs. '
