May 2S—President Walter Hubbard tonight made public a defense of the system of classification practiced by the New York Cotton Ex change. His statement which, he says, constitutes the first official expression made by the exchange upon the sub ject. is a general dor la; of the charges of overclassifying made In the action recently Instituted against the ex change by Theodore H. Price and the Southern Cotton Association. The statement of the exchange in part follows: ’’The charge made by Mr. Price and by the Southern Cotton Association that the classification committee of the New York Cotton Exchange has systematically overclassed cotton, so as to make it deliverable on exchange contract on a higher basis than its grade would warrant, is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. ‘‘The attorney for the New York Cotton Exchange, Henry W.

"Your telegram of May 25, concern ing assault made upon Japanese, re ceived. Will call attention of chief of police of San Francisco at once to your telegram and request him to use every effort to protect these people. Think the assaults were due largely to uncertain conditions existing in San Francisco by reason of the labor trouble. (Signed) "J. W. Gillette.” The state department has taken no further action in the matter as yet, but undoubtedly will communicate Gov. Tonieht the bu- unuouuicuij umuuiuucua reau issued for the middle Atlantic Gillette’s telegram to the Japanese cm- States and the Eastern lower region, western Colorado, eastern, Wyoming, Utah and Arizona and warnings of for western action affidavits from many of the * freezlng temperatures leading cotton merchants of the coun- | ” PJ rn *|jJS- clearly try. These affidavits show that the cotton delivered to the mer chants In question under the rules of the New York Cotton Exchange Is uniformly up to the established stan dard. They show that the work of the classification committee has been hon est and intelligent and that the num ber of claims made with the exchange for errors in classification have amounted for many years to less than one-twentieth of one per cent of the total number of bales inspected and- classified by the committee. As a mat ter of fact, the only complaints which have reached the exchange are from cotton merchants who complained be cause the cotton shipped here for de livery on contract by them has been classed too high. The merchants mak ing these affidavits, including firms which have shipped many thousand bales of cotton classed by the New York Cotton Exchange, declare un qualifiedly that tho system of classify ing and delivering through this ex change is the fairest and best in ex istence in any cotton exchange in the world. •‘The New York Cotton Exchange denies specifically and In toto the chargo that Its classification commit tee has egaged In the practice of over classifying cotton so that unsalable grades might be utilized for clearing contracts on the exchange. The ex change never has and will not now tolerate over classification of cotton shipped to this market. The record of the classification committee shows such accuracy and fairness In its work that merchants and spinners, though not members of tho exchange, are con tinually submitting to it for decision their disputes regarding classification.” Weather bureau officials say that there is ho Immediate prospect of any summer weather anywhere. The pres ent cold wave, they add, has been run ning through most of the present month. Heavy frosts are reported to the bu reau from Michigan and other States of the lake region.

Not since 1882 has the ab normal weather been approached in this part of the country. It is five degrees below the normal temperature for this month. A temperature of 44 degrees was recorded at the weather bureau early today and 53 degrees at 8 o’clock tonight, and the mercurj* Is expected to drop considerably tonight. Tonight the weather bureau issued the following special forecast: “Frost warnings have been issued for the Middle Atlantic States.” TIDE OF PROGRESS IS HIGH IH STATES nflLAH STROM DISAPPROVES BILL COLUMBUS.

In a memorandum, accompanying the measure, tho mayor explains that while he Is in accord with the general principles embodied In the bill, It is as a whole so destructive of the prin ciple of home rule that one course was open to him.

In no other section of the country is there fiUcn a wonderful development or sim ilar resources so easily accessible and certain of yielding such profitable re turns upon capital and labor invested.

Rear-Admiral Hichborn is one of the best-known officers in our navy. His statements concerning Peruna will have much weight as they go out in the world. What he says is echoed by many others of high standing. What the Admiral Says. Philip Hichborn, Rear-Admiral of the U. S. Navy. Washington, D. C., writes: "After the use of Peruna for a short period, 1 can now cheerfully recom mend your valuable remedy to any one who is in need of an invigorating tonic." Philip Hichborn. Kidney Trouble. Mr. Andrew Cooper. 337 Socond St., Menasha, Wis., President of Menasha Horticultural Society, and member of Ancient Order of United Workmen, writes; ‘1 suffered with kidney trouble for a number of years. I took Peruna for a couple of weeks before I noticed any change for the better, but my Improve ment was very fast after that, and In a littlo while I could go to work again. I used Peruna for four months and was rid of all kidney trouble, the pains in my back were all gone, and I felt much better all around.” Exposure and Dampness. Mr. Sylvester E. Smith, Room 21S, Granite Block, St. Louis, Mo., writes: "Peruna Is the best friend a sick man can have. A few months ago I came here in a wretched condition. Expo sure and dampness had ruined my once robust health. I had catarrhal af fections of tho bronchial tubes and for a time there was a doubt as to my re covery. My doctor advised me to take Peruna, which I did and in a short time my health began to Improve very rapidly, the bronchial trouble gradually disappeared and In three months my health was fully restored.” , An Ever-Present Foe. Tho soldier Is especially subject to catarrh. In the barracks and on the field Peruna is found equally efficla- cious to overcome this physical enemy. If taken in time it will prevent colds from developing Into catarrh. Even after a cold has settled In some organ of the body Peruna. can be relied upon as an efficiaus remedy to promptly over-come It. Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether acuto or chronic, but a few doses of It taken In the first stage of the disease will be more effective than when the disease has become established. Chronic”Catarrh of the Head. Mr. W. S. Wadsworth, 97 Chestnut St., Camden, Me., writes: “I felt a constant desire to clear my throat and head, and for months I lost my sense of tajte and smell entirely. I expected your Peruna would be like other so-called catarrh remedies, but after persisting In its use for a reason able length of time, I found I was mis taken. I think there is no remedy equal to Peruna for catarrh.” BLUE JACKETS EXCLUDED FROM DANCING PAVILION ■p m m , _ n of vir- the residence of Jus* ice William R. ginla, mailed May 22: WASHINGTON, May 28.—Discrimi nation against the blue jacket uniform of the navy at the dancing pavilion of the Pine Beach Amusement Park, a resort adjacent to the Jamestown Ex position, has led Secretary Metcalf to vigorous action.
