NEW YORK, June 14. —The cotton mar
ket was influenced by the continued fa
vorable weather in the south during today’s
early trading and after opening steady, net
4 points higher to 10 points lower, sold off
to 38.40 for July, or 3 points below the
closing of Saturday, while new crop posi
tions sold 21 to 25 points net lower with
October touching 35.42. Houses with Liv
erpool connections were sellers at the open
ing, and there was considerable local press
ure after the call. Trade interests were
moderate buyers, however, and there were
rallls of several points on scattered cover
ing.
The morning rally of some 5 or 10 points
met increased offerings of the publication
of favorable weather forecasts and the
market made new low ground for the day
later. October sold off to 35.38 and Janu
ary to 33.61, or about 25 to 29 points net
lower. New Orleans was a seller of March
here on the difference, the market there
being relatively easy while there was further
scattering liquidation and local selling of
nearer old crop months against purchases
of the more remote deliverie.s
The market was easier during the early
afaernoon owing to the continued favora
ble weather news and the easier duling of.
the stock market. Stop orders were uncov
ered on the decline which carried July con
tracts off to 38.18, and October to 35.05,
or 25 to 60 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 14.—Although the
July position was 4 points higher on the
first call in Cotton today, other months were
lower and after the call the entire list fell
under selling encouraged by expectations of
a favorable weather map. After the map
was posted, however, selling became less
general, although weather conditions were
favorable over the greater part of the belt.
At the end of the first hour of trading prices
were 16 to 29 points under Saturday’s close,
July dropping off to 38.30, and October to
35.22. '
Additional selling came on the market
following the posting of the forecast calling
fpr dry weather in all sections of the belt.
Cate in the morning prices were 16 to 34
points under the finals of Saturday.
Weakness in the stock market seemed to
be the reason for increased selling during
the second half of the session. Heaviest
pressure came toward the close when the
trading months were forced to net declines
of 46 t 084 point®, July touching 38.00 c
and October 34.76 c.

GRAIN MARKEt’“OPINIONB
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: It seems as
though the weight of receipts during next
few days will carry all values lower.
Clement, Curtis & Co.: With the hot
weather prevailing the market should show
a strong tone today.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: Believe that a
- radical readjustment between prices
and values is inevitable.
Press & Co.: It is not advisable to own
grain at these prices.
SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, June 14.—Something of
a tendency to sag developed in cotton today
as the result of continued highly favorable
weather conditions over the belt and the
lower trend in the stock market in which
many traders read disappointment, over
the way the Republican nomination went.
The market had a steady tone at the de
cline because of continued complaints of the
prevalence of the boll weevil. It probably
will require marked improvement in crop
accounts to keep the decline going.

JNO. F. CLARK & CO. COTTON LETTER
NEW’ ORLEANS, June 14.—Liverpool was
disappointg, showing futures up to 10 low
er than due, but spot prices 27 points high
er, sales 4,000 bales. The European mar
kets are probably affected by the unsettled
state of political affairs as reflected by
the frequent ministerial changes and reports
of hostilities and disorders from a number
of localities.
Simultaneous resignations of four Euro
pean cabinets, Italian, Polish, Hungarian
and Austrian, is viewed as showing the un
stable nature of present governments. It
is feared Italy will further drift away from
her former allies.
The weather map shows general cloudiness
over the west and locally over the eastern
district. General precipitation over western
Texas, but elsewhere only few places show
precipitation.
Indications are not for any pronounced
changes during the next 48 hours, but the
high pressure around the central part of the
country is disappointing and chances for a
change during the latter half of the week
are more pronounced.
The market opened as much as 10 lower
on news and reacted to the extent of 30
points on comparatively small selling. It
recovered 20 points but acted rather disap
pointingly.

wagon and throw in their entire dele
gations for Harding.
Senator Lenroot was nominated
for vice president by Senator Mc-
Cormick, of Illinois, and seconded by
State Chairman Hert, of Kentucky.
Judge Wallace McCamant, of Ore
gon, nominated Governor Coolidge,
of Massachusetts, for vice presi
dency.
Governor Coolidge’s nomination
was seconded from North Dakota
and Michigan and many other states.
There was a great burst of enthus
iasm for Coolidge and delegates
fairly fell over themselves for a
chance to second him.
Coolidge Wins
Above the uproar and din a mem
ber of the Kansas delegation got
on a chair and nominated Governor
Allen for the vice presidency.
A woman delegate from Mary
land tried tp . make a speech from
a chair. The convention saw her
gestures but never heard a word.
All over the hall delegates were
standing on chairs or climbing on
posts devoting themselves to the
business of making noise. It prob
ably was a reflex from the tension
of ten ballots and five gruelling
days in an Intense heat.
Colonel Henry W. Anderson, of
Richmond, Va., also was placed in
nomination for the vice presidency.
Nobody could hear the speech, which
was made by a member of the Vir
ginia delegation.
As the roll call for vice president
progressed it soon became evident
that Governor Coolidge could not be
headed, although it was evidently
the purpose of many of the success
ful leaders of the party to support
Senator Lenroot.
The Massachusetts governor pass
ed the coveted goal of 493 votes
when Pennsylvania voted for him
-end assured his nomination, the
other states falling rapidly in line.
Official totals were announced as
follows; »
Pritchard 11; Johnson 11; Gronna
24; Anderson 28; Allen 68 1-2; Len
root 144 1-2; Coolidge 676 1-2.
South's Representation
After the vice presidential nomina
tion had been made Paul Howland,
of Ohio, a former congressman was
recognized and presented a resolu
tion which was read.
The resolution provides for
changes in the representation of
delegates in accordance with the
number of Republican votes cast in
the various .states. The resolution
authorized tne national committee,
within 12 months after adoption to
make the change and incorporate the
new rules in the call for the next
convention.
This is a move to cut down the
number of delegates from southern
states which have small Republican
votes, but objection was raised to
its consideration at this time.
A southern delegate appeared in
the aisles and moved that the
resolution be laid on the table.
The motion to table the resolution
was lost and the vote on the resolu
tion was then taken., It was unani
mously adopted.
By unanimous vote Senator Lodge
was made chairman of the commit
tee to notify Senator Harding of
his nomination and William Allen
White named to head the commit
tee to notify Governor Coolidge.
Boynton, of California, offered a
resolution authorizing the Republic
an national committee to fill all >
vacancies that may occur on the
ticket nominated by this convention,
in event of death dr other conting
ency. It was unanimously adopted.
The convention adjourned at 7:32
p. m. The band in its loft nest
played “Star Spangled Banner’’ as
the delegates and spectators moved
toward the exists.

ONE KILLED AND
TWO WOUNDED
IN RAID ON STILL
CLEVELAND, Ga., June 14.—The
mountain people are in a furor of
excitement over the killing yester
day of W. D. Dorsey, federal pro
hibition agent, who was shot to death
while destroying a distillery on the
premises of John Farmer, a moun
taineer, residing five miles from
here.
Dorsey was shot through the neck
with a Winchester rifle and died in
stantly. The first shot Killed him.
As he fell dead, Ed Carpenter, a man
who was with him on the raid, open
ed fire on Farmer with a 38 caliber
revolver and shot him through the
abodmen, inflicting a dangerpus, if
not fatal wound. Farmer then shot
Carpenter in the chest. The wound
was painful but not dangerous.
Farmer was arrested and brought
here to be placed in jail, but the
condition of his wound made it nec
essary to take him to Gainesville to
a hospital. It is understood that
his chances of recovery are doubt
ful. There is much speculation here
as to whether he will be tried in
the state court or the federal court,
in the event of his recovery.
Dorsey was known as “Little Bill”
Dorsey, and for eighteen months had
been the scourge of the mountain
distillers and blockade runners. He
lived near the Mossy Creek camp
ground, was a native of White coun
ty, and knew the country and the
people. It was said of him that he
was an agent who could not be
‘bought or bluffed or begged.” The
liquor fraternity respected his cour
age and feared his efficiency. He
made himself a thorn in their flesh
When Dorsey accepted his commis
sion as a federal prohibition agent,
he rode all over the mountain coun
try and notified the people of his new
job. He told them fronkly what he
proposed to do. There was no cam
ouflage or mincing of words in his
announcement. “I am going to see
that you people make your living
between the plow handles this year,”
he informed those constituents whom
he suspected of engaging in an in
dustry different from agriculture.
“There are not going to be any more
picnics along the branches in this
territory.” And the worst thing the
mountain people say against “Little
Bill” is that he meant exactly what
he said.
In the southwestern part of White
county, where a little mountain
branch marks the dividing line be
tween White and Hall counties, a
road running under a trestle on a
railroad spur track which leads to
a pyrites mine. This road goes
down from Shoal Creek valley to the
main highway from Cleveland to
Gainesville. The underpass beneath
the trestle is very narrow and the
road is very rough. On either side
of the trestle is a high embankment.
Versions Differ
The trestle makes a perfect trap
for blockade runners traveling that
road, and “Little Bill” Dorsey used
to take his stand there, put a bar
across the road, and catch them go
ing down from the little mountain
valley to jthe'main highway. He
made the trestle such a dangerous
place that the blockade runners in
that vicinity were compelled to take
a long and circuitous route to get
around it.
Along the highway from Cleve
land to Gainesville, Dorsey operated
With most aggravating frequency
and precision and boldness. Many
is the automobile and many the gal
lon of moonshine liquor that hive
fallen a prey to his vigilance in re
cent months. A blockade runner
traveling that road was haunted by
the thought of “Little Bill” Dorsey,
who was liable to step out and stop
him at any narrow place, confiscat
ing his car and his cargo.
In hunting distilleries, Dorsey was
no less efficient. It is said he would
post himself in the top of a tree on
a mountain side and sit there for
hours, searching the landscape for
the tell-tale smoke from a moonshin
er’s “run.” When the moonshiners
got on to his habits they began to
burn stumps in the mountain coves
to give him false clues.
He would start at the mouth of a
branch, where it ' emptied into a
creek, and trace it to its source.
Wherever a brook came down to the
branch, he would turn up the brook
and trace it to its source. His
“branch-walking” habits made it
very difficult to hide a distillery
where he could not find it, for the
making of liquor requires running
water.
Versions of the shooting differ
widely. Some say Dorsey went to
Farmer’s house and was under the
house searching for a “still” when
Farmer discovered him and shot
him. Carpenter claims that Dorsey
went with a search warrant, served
it on Farmer, and was making the
search in a shedroom adjoining the
kitchen when Farmer opened fire.
News Spreads Rapidly
The news of the shooting spread
like wild-fire through the mountain
country. Automobiles running the
mountain roads took it far and wide
that “Little Bill” Dorsey had “got
it in the neck,” which literally was
the truth in this particular case,
for the bullet from Farmer’s Win
chester tore away Dorsey’s jugular
vein and almost severed his head
from his shoulders. Telephone wires
were popping with the news of the
deadly gun duel that was fought tn
the peaceful stillness! of a Sabbath
morning.
Dorsey worked under the direction
of D. J. Gantt, supervising federal
prohibition agent in Atlanta. On re
ceiving the news of Dorsey’s death.
Mr. Gantt dispatched Stott Jackson
and J. O. Lay to make an investiga
tion of the shoqting. They spent
some hours in the neighbor Sunday
morning and returhed to Atlanta.
There is much speculation as to
what the outcome of the shooting
will be. The mountain people be
lieve there will either be. a lull or
a ‘two-for-one” campaign against the
liquor traffic, by which phrase they
mean that the force of agents will
be doubled in this vicinity.

3. Q. —How did*', candy happen to be

3. A. —The earliest use of candy
was to disguise the unpleasant taste
of medicine and it was made chiefly
by physicians and apothecaries. The
great development of the use of
candy dates from the beginning of
the nineteenth century in England.
In the United States as early as 1816,
there were twenty candy factories in
Philadelphia, and probably as many
or more in New York City.

like Warren G. Harding. Slowly the
disappointment will be worn away
by processes of political attrition
that make for solidarity in most
campaigns. It Is too early to say
what Hiram Johnson will do. He
will not, though, bolt the ticket. He
not go elsewhere. He is shown to
probably will do his share in stump
ing California, but he probably will
be deeply'disappointed, but far from
bitter over the result. He will be
regular, but he will make little ef
fort in my judgment to deliver his
own strength to the Republican
ticket, the strength which he mar
shalled in the primaries. For one
thing, he couldn’t deliver it, because
in moments of confusion, the Repub
lican resolutions committee omitted
from the platform a plank sympa
thizing with the cause of Irish free
dom. Many of Johnson’s followers
were Irish-Amerlcans. The Demo
crats probably will insert an Irish
plank and hold many of their Irish
votes.
The Republican managers, how
ever, are confident that'this will not
aifect their chances ,for success in
November. They are as sure of vic
tory as if inauguration day were to
morrow. The campaign will be an
old-fashion one. Delegations will

man-like individual who really looks

Question Sanity on
$5 Bid for Kisses
The question of sanity of a man
who offered a $5 bill to the first girl
who kissed him is to be decided by
a jury before Surrogate Foley. Wit
nesses testified that Robert W. Fen
nell, son of the founder of the Fen
nell Furniture House, was accustom
ed to put bills of small denomina
tion, like a boutonniere, in the lapel
of his coat, as a reward for the first
kiss from a cabaret dancer.
Mrs. Dorothy Fennell, of 142 West
Forty-fourth street, widow of Fen
nell, who was killed in France while
in the service of the United States
army, is trying to break his will on
the ground he was incompetent. He
left his estate, estimated ’at more
than $20,000, to his brothers and sis
ters. Prior to his enlistment he had
separated from his wife, the testi
mony showed, and was well known
along Broadway as “Bobby” Fen
nell.
Husband 40, Is Too Old
Gillespie Frederico, of Pennsyl
vania, and his bride of one week,
who was Angela di Fonzo, of No. 180
Navy street, New York, appeared in
the marriage license bureau in
Brooklyn. The bride told Clerk Tos
caao she wanted the papers torn up.
“But, madam you are married.
This is not a license. We married
you here last week,” the clerk re
monstrated.
“Why you now tell me I was
married? I tell ypu my brother
won’t let me have him. He is too
old. I never until 1 mar
ried him. My family -tell me they
have a good match, and two days be

reau and I marry 'him. What do
I. only twenty-five, do with a forty
year old husband?”
The couple was sent to consult a
Brooklyn attorney.
in Paris, does not have in it the
name of God?.,
4. A. —The name of God does not
appear in the treaty of peace between
Germany and the allies and the
United States. A great many non-
Christian nations to whom the word
“God” would not have the same
meaning that it has to those of
Christian faith, were parties to the
treaty which probably accounts for
(the omission of the word.
5. Q. — How many people are killed
in industry? |
5. A.-—According to a report of the
national safety council, during the
nineteen months we were at war,
35.000 persons were killed in this
country in industrial accidents.
6. Q. —Who was known as the
“mother of criminals?”
6. A.—Margaret Jukes has been
given this 'title. The name of Jukes
was a pseudonym used to protect cer
tain worthy members of a family in
New York state, whose history dis
plays unique conditions in crime,
disease, and papuerism.
7, Q. —Who are the models that
never talk?
7. A.—You are referirng to the wax
models used to display costly gowns
at a recent fashion show in London.
These models were so life-like that
they’ve become quite famous.
8. Q. —What was the date when the
stars fell in Georgia and Mississippi?
8. A.—Probably this was Novem
ber 12, 1833, when there was a great
star shower, which lasted five or
six hours, and was seen everywhere
in the United States.
9. Q. —What is a scooter?
9. A. —A scooter is a motor-bicycle,
of which you see a picture on this
page. The “scooting” craze hasn’t
hit America yet, but it’s all the rage
abroad, especially in France, where
scooter races held recently at St.
Cloud attracted the greatest atten
tion.
10. Q. —Can the president and vice
president be chosen from the same
state? \
10. A.—This cannot be done, for
the twelfth amendment to the consti
tution expressly states that “the
elecors shall meet in their respective
states and vote by ballot for the
president and vice president, one of
whom, at least, shall not be an in*
habitant of the same state with
themselves.”
A Roughage Reserve
.The feeding of cottonseed cake
does not do away with the necessity
for roughage, either in the form of
range forage or in some other form.
The dry cured forage on the range
will usually meet this need, but in
case of prolonged drought, such as
occasionally comes in the southwest,
the supply of range feed may become
exhausted, meet, such emergen
cies, It would be a distinct advant
age to accumulate a reserve supply
of roughage in the form of hay for
ensilage during the more favorable
years.
