New Orleans and Liverpool cotton exchanges will be open for business as usual on Monday. NEW YORK, May 28.—The cotton market . was very quiet during today's early trading, with irregular fluctuations. The opening was steady at a decline of 35 points on No vember, but generally unchanged to 12 points higher on further scattered covering. Traders evidently found little in the news to inspire further fresh commitments of any importance on the eve of a three-day ad- JX-arnment. but the better 'ven of the stock isMTket had a sustaining influence, while some traders questioned whether a bullish official condition report had been fully dis counted. After selling-at 35.45 cat the start. October eased off to 35.30 c, but later rallied | to 35.50 c. or about 5 i« hits net higher. Two more private condition reports were ’lssued, one placing the condition at 64.7. while the other made it 63.2. and pointed to a slight decrease in the acreage. These figures were within the range of recent rports and failed’ to stimulate the market, which remained very quiet around midday, with active months ruling within a few points of last night’s closing figures. Re ports from Fall River said business has been very light during the week but that manufacturers were generally maintaining prices. The market was easier during the early afternoon under renewed realizing or liquida tion. July sold off to 37.96 and October to 35.19, or about 20 to 26 points net lower on an idea that bullish condition figures had been discounted and reiterated reports of unsettled conditions In Japan.

Weather conditions over the belt were regarded as highly favorable, and this caused an early break of 15 to 30 pc.nts; but con tracts were well absorbed, and an hour after ’ the opening the most active months were 1 I to 4 points over yesterday’s close. October • fell off to 35.15 c mid reacted to 35.43 c. • The forecast called for dry weather over ! the belt generally and offerings increased somewhat.

Weld & Co.: Rather looks like a scalping market for the time being. S. B. Chapin & Co.: W’e certainly would suggest caution against pressing any fresli short sales, even in the distant months, until after the government crop report is out of the wny and a period of good growing weath er has prevailed to enable the crop to re cover from its bad and late start. SKEPARD & GLUGK COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 28.—While bullish sentiment still prevailed today in the cot ton market regarding the pending bureau re port there was more disposition among longs to even up over the holidays and this caused a sagging tendency. All markets will be closed tomorrow and New York will be closed Monday. No great activity is probable be tween now and the time of the bureau, s-r.’cn will be issued at 10 o’clock Wednes day morning. Monday’s market may be in fluenced to some extent by the weather over Sunday, but the trade will not be able to get very far away from the pending con ditions figures. •. Bradstreet’s Local Review Bradstrett's review of conditions in At lanta district as reported by their local office says: W’hoiesale trade is good, retail trade is active and the price cutting campaign has greatly increased the volume of retail sales both in number of sales and money volume. Merchants are reducing their stocks consid erably notwithstanding reports that manu acturers are asking higher prices for fall de livery. The demand for money is strong with high ratios prevailing from 7 to 8 per cent. The automobile and tire concerns have been hard hit by the recent decision of the federal reserve banks not to redis count their papers. There is an apparent tightening up in practically all lines. This week has been fairly favorable for the farm ing Interest, a decided short cotton crop is evident. Much foodstuffs have been plant ed. Building and real estate continues ac tive while the manufacturing industry is good. Collections are slowing up and in cer tain lines are considerably slower than 30 days ago. Clearings $590,061,278.

As is known, the appropriation just authorized is made available July 1. This, added to other appropriations already available, will foot up a total of a million and a half dollars which are to be expected on the Columbus camp the last six months of the year. Big developments are expected in the immediate future. It is official ly announced that Assistant Secre tary of War Crowell will be in the city June 7th on an important mis sion in connection with the camp. General Morrison has been here two days on an inspection tour and other military authorities are coming. B. Counliff, of Atlanta, representing Selden Breck * Co., contractors, and S. F. Reese, of Pittsburg, Pa., rep resenting another big contracting concern, are in the city and it is stated they are after big contracts on the Benning reservation. Addi tional contracts are expected to be awarded in the next day or two. Under the direction of Major Dorschner, several squads of engi neers have just begin work of es tablishing the boundary lines of the Benning reservation for the gov ernment. Cement posts are being planted on the lines and this will aid in planning permanent opera tions in the way of building, it is stated. Other activities are quite pronounced. It is announced that work of appraising the property not yet closed up by the government is nearing completion, and that this will very soon be finished, so that the war department will get posses sion of the entire 115,000 acres of lands on the reservation. It is pointed out that the million dollar appropriation just authorized —or will be so when the president signs the bill —is only the beginning of a mammoth program, which, ac cording to Colonel Malone, will rep resent "an investment of seven or eight millions on the Columbus camp. FORMER CONVICT TRIES TO POSE AS MURDERER VALDOSTA, Ga., May 28.—A rather peculiar case is that of Jim Wright, a negro who was brought here from Augusta on his confes sion that he was a convicted mur derer who escaped from the convict gang of Lowndes county in 1913. He said that he was the murderer of Agnes Walker in this city in 1912. The records show that such a crime was commmitted and a negro was convicted and sent to the gang, and that he later escaped. The prison officials con’d not identify this negro as the i(*j t one, but they finally identified nim as being Robert Dan iel, who served a sentence and Ayas released in 19181 Just why he claim ed to be the fugitive murderer is not known. “B/loonshine” Informers To Be Paid Fixed Surrts For Services Hereafter Informers who enable the federal prohibition office to capture stills and arrest “moonshiners” and “blockade runners” will hereafter be paid fixed amounts for their services, according to notice received by Prohibition Su pervisor D.

She said that Kneip followed will ingly throughout the trip and was finally tied to a tree. “After he was handcuffed to the tree what was said?” she was asked. “Kneip said, ‘l’m awfully sorry, but I didn’t realize what it meant till too late, monkeying around with a woman.” “Then I struck him with a file,” the confession continued. “I hit him once with the file and then he fell down and Jimmy undid the handcuffs and he rolled down the canal bank.” “Did you only hit him once?” “Yes, that’s all.” "Did you hit him again?” “No,” “Didn’t you hit him when he was down in the canal bed?” “Well, I only kicked him in the stomach when he tried to get up. “After he was down in the canal bed what happened?” “He lay there for a minute and then got up and grabbed Jimmy. I pulled him away and he ran a few feet and then fell.” “Did he groan after that?” “No.” “What did you do with him then?” “We took off some of his things and dragged him up to the bridge.” At the close of the confession Mrs. Odell said that her husband had brought the subject of Kneip up ev ery night for three weeks after her marriage. After introduction of the confes sion, the prosecution closed its case. Attorneys for Mrs. Odell made a motion for dismissal of the charges which was denied by the court. They then asked for a recess ufitil next Tuesday before starting introduction of defense testimony, which was granted. CONFEREES KILL BRUNSWICK AND SAVANNAH ITEMS (The Atlanta Journal News Bureau 623 Riggs Building,) BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, May 28.—Greatly to the disappointment of Senators Smith and Harris, Representative Overstreet, and others of the Geo.- gia delegation, the conferees on the rivers and harbors appropriation bill have eliminate., the amendments put in by the senate covering surveys of the Brunswick and Savannah har bors. An amendment by Senator Smith provided a survey from breakers out to the sea at Savannah, instead of from King’s Island only. The bill, as it comes from conference, retains the house provision limiting the sur vey to King’s Island. The conferees have also eliminated the Harris amendmmt approved by the senate, for a survey of Brunswick harbor to ascertain if it required waiting for two ti<jes for ships of regular Steamship lines to re?ch their docks, and in sailing from that port. The Georgia senators will try to have the senate insist upon reten tion of the senate amendments, but the chances are not good because of the congested state of legislation and the fact that it is hard to change a conference report. The conferees are still in disagree ment over the amount to be carried in the river and harbor budget, he house standing out for a small lump sum bill of $12,000,000 and the sen ate insisting on $24,000,000. The conferees have retained the senate amendment permitting the transfer of the dredge “Cumberland,” from Fernandina harbor to Savannah har bor without charge. Survivors of Class Os 1870 at Georgia To Stage Reunion Survivors of the class of 1870 of the University of Georgia are plan ning to assemble in Athens on June 15 and stage a reunion in the chapel of their alma mater just fifty years to the day after they received cer tificates of graduation. Nat E. Harris, formerly governor of Georgia, and Burgess Smith, of Atlanta, are in charge of arrange ments for the reunion. The class of 1870 at graduation numbered 87. Os these, only eighteen or twenty are living, and it is believed that several of the survivors are too en feebled to attend what will probably be the last reunion of the class. The members still alive are resid ing in all parts oflthe country. Let ters sent them by the committee on arrangements have‘met with enthu siastic responses, and those who have announced their intention of returning to the scene of their col lege days include: N. E. Harris,, ex-governor; Charles L. Bartlett, ex-congressman; Dudley M. Hughes, ex-congressman; Rev. John D. Hammond. Islip, N. Y., for merly of Atlanta; Marion J. Verdery, New York; Dr. George W.

Seven Acquitted in Rome on Charges of Treason During War ROME, May 28. —Seven persons ac cused with former Deputy Filippo Cavallinie, of communicating “intel ligence to the enemy” during the war, have been acquitted here. This case has been going on for the last three years and at times seemed to have a close relation with the pros pecutions of 8010 Pasha and Joseph Caillaux in France. Four former dep uties were among those placed on trial. It was found the proof of guilt adduced by the government was not sufflcient to justify conviction. Hostilities Between Russians and Japs Ended May 25, Report LONDON, May 28.—Hostilities be tween the Russian and Japanese in Siberia ceased on May 25, according to a Reuter dispatch from Vladivos tok, dated Wednesday.

Ky„ May 28. — Thursday at Churchill Downs was Midwest-South Atlantic day and special races were run in honor of each of the port cities of Wilmnig ton. Charleston, Savannah, Bruns wick and Jacksonville. Participants of the trip through, the midwest in the interests of fostering greater ex port business for these ports, were high pleased with the opportunity accorded them to see this institu tion as guests of the Kentucky Jockey club. The visitors were extended a typi cal Louisville welcome when the special train reached here at nine o’clock in the morning from In dianapolis. A large reception com mittee greeted them and a tour of the citv immediately followed the arrival. Luncheon for Midwest-South At lantic delegation was tendered at the Ballard Mills cafeteria, where a brief address of welcome was made by Lieutenant Governor Ballard Judge George T. Cann', of Savannah Ga., responded to the welcome and following this an hour of varied en f©lowing this was on the program, while at the Watterson hotel in the evening the important business session of the day was held, Mat thew Hale, president of the South Atlantic states’ association, told of the mission responsible for the visit of the port representatives. The large number of local business men present showed themselves to be fully in sympathy with the cause advanced bv the visitors. V/ILSON HAS BOTH SIDES GUESSING ON NEXT TREATY MOVE (Continued from Page 1) wants a new senate. On the other hand, if the American people sus tain the present senate next Novem ber Mr. Wilson can turn over the development of American foreign policy and treaty and all data there on to the next president of the Unit ed States. It begins to look certain that Woodrow Wilson never will with draw his name from the treaty of Versailles ’ or negotiate a separate peace with Germany. He regards what the senate has tried to do in the way of a peace resolution as “an ineffaceable stain on America’s hon or,” and with that statement he rests his case. If the American people c"f fer with Irm, they can say so at tne polls. To Write Treaty Flank Incidentally, Mr. Wilson will have his say in the Democratic national platform at San Francisco. There is no doubt that he will write the plank on the treaty issue himself and that he then will state the case for or against reservations, making distinc tions then on the subject of nullify ing or interpretative reservations. He has the advantage over the Republi cans for they must meet in Chicago first and declare themselves. They could not afford to postpone action on the treaty plank until after the Democrats have met without being open to charges of timidity. And if Johnson is the nominee the Republicans undoubtedly will have declared against the whole treaty and covenant. , So the president bides his time, keeps treaty of peace at the White House and proposes to do nothing about sending it back until the sen ate manifests its desire to have the treaty back. If two-thirds of the senate should get up a Round Robin saying what reservations they would like to see put upon the treaty and submitted this request' to the presi dent, he could not afford to ignore it. Such a move might be made aft er the convention and serve to befog the political alignments again espe cially if the president’s side of the argument appears to be making headway. The treaty position is far from being defined. The politi cians are too resourceful to let Mr. Wilson have it all his way. Comment on the president’s veto message was a mixture of cynicism and suppressed approval. Most sen ators realize that the Knox resolu tion was a. poor political move be cause it was destined to failure. It proposed no international agreement and only the repeal of domestic laws. On the other hand, Republicans and Democrats alike thought the presi dent’s political astuteness was cer tainly a bit faulty w’n'en he put that sentence about the freedom of seas and reduction of armament in his veto message. He declared that the Knox resolution did nothing about these two points and members of congress recalled that Mr. Wilson did nothing about them in Faris either, at least he sidestepped the freedom of the seas and joined in a proposal to establish simply a committee of investigation on the armament ques tion. Somebody might have censored Mr. Wilson’s veto message for him and kept those two vulnerable passages out of it but so far as can be learn ed, the president didn’t show his veto message to any of his advisors. He still is playing a lone hand. SEN A TEC ONI MITTE E~ SEEKING LIGHT ON “INVISIBLE BOOM” (Continued from Page 1) eral Wood. I don’t know if he was sincere in his first attitude toward Senator Harding.” ”ls it true that very large expen ditures were made on advertising in that Ohio campaign?” Senator Reed continued. “There were expenditures of that kind —too expensive for us, and I didn’t go into it,” Mr. Daugherty re plied. At the end of a series of ques tions, Mr. Daugherty said he did not know details, but remarked: “Throughout the state of Ohio there was a very expensive campaign of advertising for General Wood, but we've no complaint about it. All the Republican papers were used, I un derstood, and some of the Demo cratic.” Political Writer Called Louis Lang, a reporter of the I’jw York American, identified himself as the writer of an article purporting to tell of a $5,000,000 • underwriting for a fund to back a campaign to bring about McAdoo's nomination at San Francisco. He refused to dis close the sourse of his information. "A member of the Democratic na tional committee was with my in formant when I was told the story,” Mr. Lang said. The committee did not press the point but Chairman Kenyon announc ed that seevral members of the Democratic national committee had been subpoenaed to appear during the investigation. Mr. Lang discussed a meeting of Democratic national executive com mittee at Atlantic City last Septem ber. He said that plans were made to raise $10,000,000 for a Demo cratic national campaign. Thomas F. Chadbourne and B. M. Baruch were at Atlantic City at the time, hq said. Mr. Lang testified that he had been informed that a member of the national committee had stated that Frederick A. Wallis, a deputy police commissioner, of New York, was representing Mr. Baruch in collect ing finances for the McAdoo cam paign and that the $10,000,000 financ ing's planned at Atlantic City con templated Mr. McAdoo’s nomination by the Democratic convention. “Members o fthe national commit tee,” Mr. Lang said, “had c orro mated the story later.” Singing Convention SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga., May 28.

SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1920. .For More Than Forty Years Cotten Growers have known that POTASH PAYS More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts had been imported and used in the United States in the 20 years previous to January, 1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,™ 700 Tons consisted of KAINIT which the cotton grower knew was both a plant food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of 20 per cent MANURE SALT which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was used mainly in mixed fertilizers. Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 pounds of Kainit. MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. , Muriate of Potash 50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt. These are the three Standard GERMAN Potash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for al! these years with great profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE CROP. The supply is not at present as large as in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary effort to get it for you.
