6 COTTON NEW YORK, May 19.—The suspension of the rule limiting daily fluctuations in May contracts until the close of trading in current May deliveries on Friday, was announced in the cotton market, today. May notices amounting to about 2,000 bales were reported in circulation, but May sold up to 42.98 on the call, making a new high record and an advance of 88 points from last night’s closing on an urgent demand from shorts. There were some contracts for sale at this level and the price later dropped to 42.60. Litter months opened 7 to 21 points net lower and sold about 20 to 28 points under last night’s closing during the early trading as a re sult of realizing or selling for a reaction on the unsettled view of outside conditions and more seasonable temperatures in the south. Slay contracts worked off to 42.50 c later tn the morning, while liquidation in July nod inter deliveries became more active and general. Weakness in the stock market seemed to emphasiz unfavorable feature in the general business situation, while the un settled ruling of the grain markets was also a disturbing factor, and Wall street was a particularly heavy seller. The bulish weeky report of the weather bureau caused sligh trallies around midday, but they met increased offerings, with July selling off to 38.80 c and October to 35.58 C, or 52 to 70 points net lower. New lows for the currento decline were made during the late afternoon when the entire list with the exception of May reg * istered net losses at $5 a bale. At that time Mav was up 20 points. The market showed still greater weak ness during the early afternoon under con tinued liquidation and stop-loss selling. July broke to 38.55 and October to 35.54. or 77 to 104 pointe net lower. No special news feat Tire was mentioned to account for the weakness but sentiment was unsettled by the pessimistic view of general conditions.

During the first hour of business prices dropped 20 to 37 points, July touching 38.75 and October 36.14. Weakness in the security market and con tinued talk of slowing down of trade in fin ished goods offset the unfavorable weekly crop reports from the government, and the decline continued.

Aggressive short selling appeared in the second half of the session and much liquida tion came from the long side. Y ery little demand appeared from any quarter, except from early sellers who traded for a turn. Toward the close the active months were 65 to 111 points under the close of yes terday.

The weekly crop reports were’bullish, rather more so than expected, if anything but were completely offset by the bearish news of Lite day. It looks as if the market may work lower, for a while, but we do not believe declines can be maintained in the face of what seems certain to be a very bullish May condition report.

PALMERITES NAME OWN DELEGATES TO ’FRISCO CONVENTION (Continued from Page One.) Francisco isl the role of contestants for seats in the national convention, that they alone are entitled to recog nition, since they were chosen in ac cordance with the provisions of rule 10 of the state Democratic executive committee under which the presiden tial preferential primary was held, this rule provided, in substance, that the presidential candidate receiving the plurality count, unit vote in the primary should be entitled to the en tire vote of Georgia in the national convention. Palmer’s nominees Defeated As it turned out, Attorney General Palmer received a slight plurality of the county unit vote in the primary, although popular was a scant third of the total participating:, in the pri mary. In consequence of this, a sub committee of the state committee de clared that Palmer had carried the state and. under rule 10, was en titled to all the Georgia delegates. The state convention rejected this contention by an overwhelming vote and defeated the Palmer nominess when they were proposed for election, However, the Palmer forces in the convention and their San Francisco delegates Insist that the convention was not the sovereign body, and was therefore bound by the rules of - the state committee. At San Francisco, the contestants first will take their case to the na tional committee, seeking to have their names enrolled on the tempor ary membership list of the national convention. Winning or failing to win recognition before the national com mittee, the contestants’ case finally will go before the credentials com mittee of the convention and ulti mately the national convention it self will decide whether the all-Pal mer delegation is to be seated in the convention. Charles S. Barrett Will Likely Head Delegation While the Georgia delegation to the Democratic convention in ■ Fris co, chosen at the closing session of the state convention ’ in Atlanta Tuesday, has not yet met to or anize, the belief was expressed by a number of the delegates that Charles S. Barrett, president of the Farmers’ Union, would be named chairman of the delegation. It is said that Mr. Barrett will probably be selected chairman without opposi tion, as he seems to have the sup port and the confidence of both Smith and Watson delegates.

I AMERICAN LEGION TO DEMAND QUICK ACTION ON BONUS (The Atlanta Journal News Bureau, 623 Riggs Building.) FY TSE9DCRE TILLER WASHINGTON. D. C., May 19. — The executive committee of the American Legion will deliver a vir tual ultimatum Wednesday night to the Republican caycus of the house and will demand that congress act, i one way or another, and without fur- I ther delay, on bonus or adjusted com | pensation legislation. After an all day session yesterday the executive committee reached the- conclusion that the bonus has hung fire long enough and a final and direct answer will be asked of congress. Major H. H. Barrett, of Baltimore, I said resolutions protesting against further delay will be dispatched to the Republican caucus tomorrow. “We intend to ask congress to act one way or another,” said Major Bar rett. “We believe that we have waited long enough, and it looks to us as though congress were adopting a pussyfoot policy. We are not at ! tempting to suggest how the money shall be raised, nor to dictate the form of the adjusted compensation legislation. That is the job of con gress. All we ask is that congress give us prompt answer as to whether or not it intends to pass an adjusted compensation bill; that is, say yes or no, so that we may know where we stand. "Since our meetings in March we have taken another poll of the mem bership of the American Legion. We find that membership overwhelming ly in favor of adjusted compensation legislation. We believe that the vet eran of the war is entitled to this consideration. The question is apart from the care taken of the wounded and disabled soldiers. Every member of congress is pledged to go to the limit for the wounded and disabled veteran, but the others who went through this war think they arfe due some consideration also, and that adjusted compensation should be at once provided. Congress should either legislate or refuse to legis late, and let us know its answer. That is what we shall seek, a show down tonight when our resolutions go through the house caucus.” VILLA SPOKEN OF AS CHIEF MEXICAN CONSTABULARY M ASHINGTON, May 19.—Propos ed appointment of Francisco Villa as chief of the Mexican constabulary might- cause President Wilson to withhold recognition of the new gov ernment indefinitely, it was learned today. Villa is held responsible for murders committed during the ban dit raid on Columbus, N. M„ in 1916. Villa’s coming trip to Mexico City, reported to the state department through the United States embassy there, was regarded as significant by officials here. Rebel agents believed Villa was summoned by the revolu tionary authorities and that he will have important conferences with the officials of the provisional govern ment. These conferences, it was believed, may result in one of the regular im portant assignments for Villa. One—To take up the trail of Car- I ranza, and his forces, who for days I have been eluding the rebels. Two —To take command of the Mexican constabulary along the in ternational frontier. In predicting Villa probably would get this appointment, rebel repre sentatives and friends of Villa here said one then could “walk from Juarez to Torreon, with twenty-dol lar bills protruding from all pockets and not be harmed.” It was suggested that should the new Mexican government be recog nized without unusual delay, the United States might demand of it the extradition of Villa for the Columbus raid. Extradition of Villa could be called for under the extradition treaty signed between the United States and Mexico in 1902. Asks Verdict of Jury Against King George; Outlines Defense NEW YORK.—An old saying has it that “a cat may look at a King.” Goerge Gordon Battle, before Justice Guy and a jury in the supreme court added; “The King can sue us, but we can’t sue the King.” The comment was an explanation of the failure of Ernest Harrah, steel broker, to completely carry out a con tract with King George to supply the British government 25.(>0 - -s of scrap steel at $28.50 a ton. King George recently filed suit against Mr. Harrah hei*e for $172,000 and interest from Nov. 26, 1917, when the con tract was signed. Mr. Battle, outlining the defense, said that in February, 1917, the Ital ian government needed scrap and induced the British government, through J. P. Morgan & Co., to con tract for the required amount with Emanuel Drefus & Co., here, for which Mr. Harrah then acted. When lack of ships made it Im practicable to transport the steel to Italy, he said, the J sh govern ment sold the contract to the Briar Hill companny, of Youngstown. O. In October, 1917. according to Mr. Battle, the price of steel fell below the contract price and the Youngs town concern complained about the quality of the scrap. King George, through the American representa tives, refused to pay for the steel. “Now, what were we to do?” asked Mr. Battle. “Go on supplying him with the best scrap we had and then try to sue him for the bill? Not at all.” His honor will inform you that the king can sue us. but we can’t sue the king, because no citizen of this country can sue a foreign sovereign,” Mr. Battle told the jury, and ex plained his client stopped bending scrap when King George stonped pay ing for it, and decided to let the king sue. He ask«d for a verdict, with counter claim of $6,000 loss. The trial will be continued I!. S. GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE PART IN FIXING WAR DEBT (Continued from.

VEREEN NAMED COMMITTEEMAN BY STATE CONVENTION (Continied from Page 1) clncts from the consolidation and awarded them to Palmer. The committee’s report, taken up when the convention reconvene, shortly after 2 o’clock, sustained Mr. Watson as to Chatham and Wil kinson counties and sustained Sena tor Smith as to Murray and At kinson counties. The convention dis agreed to the committee’s report on Chatham county and seated the Pal mer delegates. Supporters of Smith voted with supporters >f Palmer in this contest. The bala’c’e of the committee’s report was adopted. Then the convention, having per fected its permanent roll, elected Samuel L. Olive, president of the Georgia state senate, as its perma nent chairman, and elected E. B. Moore, the temporary secretary, as permanent secretary. Air. Olive made a splendid presiding officer. His nomination was satisfactory to all three factions and he was elected by acclamation unanimously. The convention adopted a rule providing that a quorum should consist of a majority of the convention, which was for the purpose of rendering ir regular and illegal the expected “rump” convention by Palmer dele gates. Albert Howell, Jr., for the Palmer people, tried to amend it with a proviso that nothing in the rule should alter any rule made by the state executive committee, but he was voted do.’.n Tbe c«>nveniion passed a resolution providing for the appointment of a resolutions com mittee representing the three fac tions, each to have four on the com mittee, and this completed the per manent organization. Vereen Sleeted As its first act after perfecting permanent organization, the conven tion passed a resolution providing for the lecti.m of the Democratic na tional committeeman. Thomas G. Hudson, one of the Smith floor lead ers, introduced the resolution. W. H. Davis, one ot the Palmer leaders, opposed it with a" point of order that the delegates to the national conven tion were the only ones authorized to elect the national committeeman. The point was over-ruled, and the resolution was passed by a vote of 242 to 140. Immediately following the adoption of the resolution, John I. Kelly, of Gwinnett, a Watson floor leader, placed in nomination for na tional committeeman the name of William J. Vereen, of Colquitt coun ty. The Palnier people made no op posing nomination and refrained from voting on the roll call which elected Mr. Vereen. Hence the vote was 238 for him and none against him. ' Hollins Randolph, of Fulton, a Palmer floor leader, introduced a es olution indorsing the accomplish ments of the Democratic administra tion, praising the “peerless leader ship of Woodrow Wilson” and urging the immediate ratification of the treaty with such "explanatory reser vations as would not destroy the e -nant of the League of Nations." The resolution went to the resolu tions committee and the conventio 1 recessed for supper until 8 o’clock. When it re-convened, there came a fight between opposing resolutions offered by the resolutions commit tee. The majority of the committee recommended the passage of a reso lution opposing the League of Na tions, opposing a third term and cov ering - three other points. The minor ity recommended the passage of the Randolph resolution. John I. Kelly spoke for the majority report; Gen eral Walter A. Harris, of Macon, spoke for the minority report. Refuse Division of Delegates Each speaker delivered a very im passioned appeal for his viewpoint, and each was frequently applauded. On the question of agreeing to the majority report, the Smith delegates divided, some voting with Watson and some with Palmer. The major ity . report was agreed to by a vote of 206 to 175. Then came the question of adopting the resolution recommended by a majority of the committee, and on this question the Smith forces divided again, more pronouncedly than before. The vote was very close and resulted in the adoption of the majority resolution by a vote of 192 1-2 to 182 1-2. The halfvote occurred where the Sumter delegation, voting one-half vote each for eight delegates, divided five to three, which made their vote contain a fraction. After the resolutions had been dis posed of, there came the final and most important feature of the whole convention —the election of delegates to San Francisco. Judge A. W. Cozart, of Columbus, one of the Smith floor leaders, rose in his place and formally offered to make an equal division of delegates between the three candidates who ran in the presidential primary. He expressed the hope that this would be acceptable to the Palmer people His offer was flatly declined by William H. Fleming, of Augusta, a Palmer floor leader, who claimed the right to name all the delegates to San Francisco. He said Rule 10 en titled Palmer to the full delegation, and the Palmew delegates would con sider it “dishonorable” to make a compromise on a divided delegation. This remark elicited loud laughter from Thomas E. Watson and his del egates. The' refusal to accept a di vision of the delegates was accepted by Judge Cozart. The Smith people then proceeded to nominate fifty per cent of the delegates, the Watson people nominated 50 per * cent, and the Palmer people put up their list as agreed upon by the Pal mer caucus Monday night. It was agreed to have one roll call, and this resulted’in the election of the Smith- Watson delegates by a vote of 234 to 142. Howell’s Point of Order Before the vote was taken, Albert Howell, Jr., for the Palmer dele gates, submitted in writing his point of order mentioned above. This point is the keystone of the con test which the Palmer delegates will make at San Francisco. It was over ruled by a vote of the convention. Chairman Olive did not rule on the point himself, but followed the prec edent of legislative bodies in sub mitting the point as a vital point to a vote of the body. Mr. Howell’s point was as follows: “It appearing that the list of nominations for delegates from the state-at-large and their alternates, and for district delegates and their alternates, is composed of nominees chosen from the friends and sup porters of the Hon. Thomas E. Wat son and the Hon. Hoke Smith, each being an unsuccessful candidate for the Georgia nomination as Demo cratic candidate from Georgia for the presidency of the United States, and “It appearing that Rule 10 of the rules under which the presidential preferential primary of April 20. 1920, was held, provides as follows: “ ‘The delegates to the national convention shall be chosen from among the friends and supporters of that candidate for president re ceiving the highest county unit vote,’ and “It appearing from the records of the subcommittee, which held said nriniary, - md from the records of the state Democrfßic executive com mittee, and from the official rec ords of the convention, that Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer was the candidate receiving the highest county unit vote in said primary, and is there fore entitled to have the delegates to the na'.icnal convention chosen from among his friends and suppor ts, 1 make the point of order that the delegates and alternates placed in nomination at this convention, and above referred to, are ineligible under said rule, and are therefore disqualified from election by this convention as delegates and alter nates to the national convention.” After the point of order had been overruled by the convention, the vote being 232 to 140, the vote was taken on the delegates as above stated and resulted in the election of the delegates nomimted, respec tively, by Smith and Watson. The vote for the Smith-Watson delegates was 234; the vote for the Palmer delegates was 142. When the vote had been taken and the result announced, Thomas E. Watson moved that the conven tion adjourn sine die. The motipu was passed unanimously by acclama tion, and the presidential convention of May 18 passed into history. Resolutions Adopted The resolutions adopted by the con vention by the close vote above re ferred to.' on recommendation of a majority of the resolutions commit tee, were as follows; "Resolved by the Democratic party of Georgia in convention assembled: “1. That we hereby declare our unalterable opposition to the League of Nations brought back by President Wilson from Ver sailles. “2. hat we hereby recom mend that the long-established and unwritten law of our country against a + ' iia term of any man for president of the United States be strictly adhered to. “3. We reaffirm our faith in the ancient creed of the Demo cratic party. We believe in free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assemblage and lo cal self-government. We believe in the American system of free, representative, constitutional government. We believe in the rights of the states and in the distribution of power between the legislative, executive and ju dicial branches of the govern ment. “4. We hereby request and in struct the delegates from Geor gia to the national Democratic convention to support no candi date for president of the United States who is not in thorough accord with the principles as an nounced by this convention; and said delegates shall vote as a unit in the Democratic national convention on all questions be fore that body, in accordance with the will of this said conven tion. “5. Resolved that this con vention recommend the repeal of all espionage, sedition and con scription laws passed during the war, and that we do oppose com pulsory military training.” There was one section of this res olution which the Palmer people did not object to. It was the second sec tion, declaring against a third term for president. They specifically ex plained. in voting against the general resolution, that they were not op pc ed to this particular section. The first section of the resolution as originally drawn the word “as” in reference to the League of Nations. That is to say. it de clared against the League of Na tions "as brought back by President Wilson.” The resolutions committee struck the word “as." This was one of,the bones of contention between the majority and minority members of the committee. The Palmer peo ple wanted to declare in favor of the league ■ explanatory but not de struct!. 1 rescrv tons. The Hoke Smith people were willing to declare against it “as brought back,” which was the senator’s campaign plat form. The Watson people wanted 1 enounce it severely. The resolu tion as finally presented by the ma jority of the committee was In the nature of a compromise between the viewpoints of Senator Smith, oppos in,. the league “as brought back,” and of Thomas E. Watson, who op poses and denounces it in toto. Dis cussing the majority report, Mr. Watson said it represented very sub stantial concessions by him in the interest of Democratic harmony. The Hollins Randolph resolution, recommended by the minority of the resolutions committee, and lacking only six votes of a tie with the majority resolutions on the final vote, was as follows; “Be it resolved by the presidential preference convention that we do hereby approve and indorse the splendid accomplishments of the Democratic administration under the peerless leadership of the great Democratic executive, President Woodrow Wilson, with the aid of the Democratic representatives m the senate and house of the federal congress. “Resolved, further, that we in dorse and approve the principles embodied in the League of Nations and demand the prompt ratification of the peace treaty with such ex planatory reservations as may be necessary to secure its passage, and as may not be destructive of the covenant.” ALA BAM A R E J’U BI AC AN S MEET AT TUSCALOOSA TUSCALOOSA, Ala., May 19.—The Republican convention of the Sixth congressional district was held at Tuscaloosa county courthouse yes terday. L. B. Parker, of Holt, was nominated for congress. N. C. Fuller, of Centreville, was named delegate to ‘.he national convention. I. C. C. TO GIVE TO ROADS DECISION ON TRAFFIC CONTROL ( Contiguefl from Page 1) come through adequate and prompt increase in freight rates.” Eurd.cn in Credits “Any delay.” the resolution said, “means the paying of great cost di rectly and indirectly and places a burden on the credit system which in the approaching - time for seasonal expansion may cause abnormal strain. Even under the load of war inflation, high price level and ex travagances the bank reserves would probably be sufficient if quick trans portation could be assured during the time of the greatest strain.” The resolution then urged both the shipping board and the . C. C. to give “increased rates such immediate ef fect a? may be warranted under their authority.” As the bankers left the interstate commerce commission William Green, secertary of the United Mine workers and John Moore, president of the Ohio Miners, palled an officials to urge that more empty gondola cars be immediately sent to the mines. Mr. Green charged that the rail roads had resumed the practice of giving mines cars enough to load coal for railroad needs only. The re sult, he said, is that other indus tries are running short of coal and that miners are idle a great part of the time. The Michigan public utilities com mission and a delegation of Michi gan congress men headed by Sena tor Townsend also called on Com missioner Ashton and trld him that ♦be coal situation in Michigan was so serious that public utilities and the great automobile factories were tr te iened.
