COTTON
NEW YORK, June 29.—The feature in
the cotton market at the opening today was
the continued strength of July. So far as
could be learned, there were no additional
notices, and July sold at 37.95 c on the call,
or 35 points above the close of yesterday
and 245 points above the low level of last
Friday. This was the result of continued
’covering, and the strength of the mattiring
delivery had a sustaining influence on the
later months. They opened unchanged to 5
points higher,- but met considerable selling
owing to the continued good weather, with
Dctober casing off to 33.40 c shortly after
the call, or 14 points below last night’s
.closing.
. The covering was much less active than
yesterday and after early buying orders had
been supplied the market turned easier un
der a renewal of Wall street, local and
southern selling, which, was promoted by the
continued good weather in the south. July
sold off to 37.25 or 35 points net lower,
while new crop positions were relatively
weak, selling 66 to 75 points below last
night’s closing figures with October touch
ing 32.88 arcund midday.
Complaints of low temperatures in eastern
halt sections led to rallies of 30 to 40
pilots after the break to 32.89 for October
that delivery ruling around 33.11 dur
in* the middle of the afternoon, or about 43
pc«nts net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
MEW ORLEANS, June 29— During the
course of the first call in cotton today, and
for a short period after, the market was
higher, but after gains of 4 to 35 points it
weakened under realizing sales from the long
side and fresh selling for short account, the
la tetr based on favorable weather over the
belt. During the first hour of business
enough selling was done wipe out the
gains and send prices 9 to 18 points under
the close of yesterday. July advanced to
37.40 c and fell back to 37c.
Liquidation of long contracts increased as
the session progressed and sales for short
account also grew heavier on the spreading
of the view that the weekly crop reports
from the government tomorrow would be
bearish. Late in the morning July was
trading at 36.60 and the market was 45 to
65 points under the close of yesterday.
Texas sent in discouraging accounts con
cerning the spread and activities of the boll
weevil and the market steadied again, re
acting 20 to 30 points from the bottom. Late
in the dav the trading months were 15 to 35
points under the final prices of yesterday.
The market closed steady at net declines
of 19 to 39 points.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. We see no reason
to change our warning about short sales. ,
Clement, Curtis & Co.: The west is com/ 5
plaining of dry soil and fear of corn burn
ing if not soon relieved.
Wagner & Co.: - The grain and coal do
mestic costs advanced as a result of Euro
pean dependence based on decreased pro
duction.
Press & Co.: This weather is ideal for
forcing growth of corn crop and the late
ness will be rapidly caught up.
Bennett &; Co.: Cash corn is being taken
freely in spite of increased receipts and in
dicates the bears will receive little help
in this direction.
THOMSON, McKINNON - & CO. GRAIN
LETTER.
CHICAGO—Corn: The late start and the
spotted condition of the corn c’rop makes
market somewhat more sensitive to unfa
vorable conditions than to items of the
reverse sort. A forecast of continued heat
over western and southern portions of the
corn belt offset the beneficial rains which
appeared in more northern sections. Ship
pers and elevator interests being imbued
with the idea that the present movement
will be last of any importance until the
new crop is assured, are anticipating for
ward requirements. It is not discoverable,
however, that eastern buyers are increasing
their demands. Market will probably prove
erratic under changes in weather condi
tions, but we incline to the idea that the
practical disappearance of slow- 1
ness of new demand and the known reserves
of old corn on farmes should outweigh crop
uncertainties.
Oats: Excellent rains over central and
north portion of oat belt induced moderate
realizing sales. This selling was not on a
large scale and there was sufficient new
demand to keep market tone rather firm.
Cash market promised to be easy, but ship
pers were in the market and prices were.
about unchanged. Crop new from south
ern part of the belt is not of the best sort.
We believe this market offers excellent in
vestment opportunities even if present crop
outlook be maintained until harvest.
Provisions: Very little doing in the list
beyond changing over from July to Sep
tember.

Cotton Gossip
Times-Picayune says: Yesterday’s advance
was largely based on the changed technical
position due to the recent liquidation of long
interests and the creation of a good short
interest. The heavy discounts of futures
compared with spots rendered the position
of shorts ueeklng to cover rather unfavora
ble./ This was particularly true with re
spect to the July month. It was sold so
freely last week. With that position now
within a mouth of final termination, nearly
400 points below the level of spot middling,
there existed a strong chance of a squeeze
of shorts, particularly in the northern mar
ket. It was not surprising, therefore, that
the discount was cut down by fully a hun
dred points during yesterday’s trading,
bringing July to within 275 points of spots.
While private condition reports continue
to indicate a good improvement in the
crop during the past month, acreage indi
cations still point to the same area planted
in cotton, or possibly a trifle less than
was the case last year. With the govern
ment report due on Friday, the remaining
session of the present week will no doubt
be largely devoted to anticipating the of
ficial acreage and condition reports and
evening up of commitments in advance.
The Journal of Commerce says: In Ala
bama present indications are for a pro
nounced increase in percentage conditions
over a month ago. They were 61.1 in Mis
sissippi. The indication is for only a
slight gain over last month's condition of
67.7. Prospects as to damage from the boll
weevil are undeniably bad. In Louisiana
the outlook is that the percentage figure of
72 will be exceeded by several points. There
is almost universal complaint of boll weevil.
Clevenburg says: Liverpool 12:15 p. m.
prices show October 10 and December 18
American points below parity. Spot sales.
3,000 middling, equivalent to 52.90 c. Spots
in the south unchanged to 50 points higher;
range, 39c to 41.50 c. Generally fair weath
er is forecasted for the belt, except scat
tered showers along the gulf coast. The
Journal of Commerce special reports show
considerable improvement in Alabama, not so
much in Mississippi and Louisiana. The
F ,course of prices today will be governed by
' the action of July, which appears to be in
a very tight position. If southern interests,
as reported, are long 20,000 to 30,000 bales
and demand the cotton, July might go tb
an unprecedented premium over October.
Scant rainfall reported in southern Louis
iana and Amarillo districts, otherwise gener
ally Xair weather prevailed thrughut the
entire belt, with temperatures gener
ally about normal as a whole; the western
belt averaging about 36. The forecast Tues
day for the entire belt is generally fair, ex
cept Louisiana aijd Texas coast, partly
cloudy.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
S. M. Weld & Co.: We have no strong
opinion but think the July position will con
tinue to advance and probably carry the rest
of the market with It.
N. L. Carpenter Co.: Speculative press
ure had forced contrast prices way below
a parity with spots and the present rebound
is nothing more than a readjustment.
J. W. Jay & Co.: We believe sales ad
visable on any further sharp upturn.
E. F. Hutton & Co.: We look for a lit
tle further advance and would then advise
the sale of cotton.
J. S. Baclie Co.: We continue our opin
ion that cotton at the present level is cheap
and we expect to see eventually very much
higher prices.
E. W. Wagner & Co.: It does not seem
likely that prices could be bid up and main
tained at any further rise.
S. B. Chapin Co.: The general disposi
tion is to await further news in regard to
the condition of the crop before making new
committments.
STAGE ALL SET FOR
DEMONSTRATIONS AT
FRISCO CONVENTION
(Continued from Page 1)
prevent the others from getting a
two-thirds vote.
The Cummings boom grew from a
mere demonstration of enthusiasm
to formidable proportions In the 24
hours which followed the chairman’s
opening address and today it had
taken full form with handbills be
ing circulated among the delegates
declaring “a. great moment has pro
duced a great man.” Democrats
throughout the country, too, were re
sponding to the sentiment, apparent
ly, for the national chairman’s desk
was piled with congratulatory tele
grams.
Bryan’s Opposition
Twice yesterday Mr. Cummings
drew a new demonstration from the
convention; first when he announced
he had taken the initiative in pro
posing that the convention congratu
late Governor Rooberts, of Tennessee,
for his action in anouncing he would
call a special session of the legisla
ture to act on the suffrage amend
ment; and again when he rescued the
resolution to double the size of the
national committee and give new
places to women. His growing
boom, however, brought with it a
forecast of opposition from Bryan
who some time ago denounced the na
tional chairman for making a speech
at a banquet given for Governor Ed
wards, an avowed wet candidate. The
chairman’s friends also were not un
mindful that his connection a
lawyer with large business interests
would furnish Bryan with an oppor
tunity to use one of his favorite
weapons in a convention—a blast at
big business.
Perhaps the most important over
night development was the reported
decision of the Mississippi delegation,
following its complimentary vote for
Senator John Sharp Williams, to cast
its twenty votes solidly for Cox ‘‘for
ever after.”
Considerable interest but no real
commotion was occasioned today in
the Democratic camp by William
Randolph Hearst’s broadside in his
paper backing Senator James A.
Reed, of Missouri, as the presidential
candidate of the ‘‘third party.”
M’ADOO-MEREDITH
TICKET FORECAST
BY WASHINGTON
(Continued from Page One.)
hall is worth anything. Both the
McAdoo and Meredith and Champ
Clark and Bryan tickets sound about
as good as any other, since no one is
enabled yet to figure out the situa
tion at San Francisco, and all the
forecasters are floundering around
just as they did at Chicago. Not one
man out of a hundred picked Hard
ing a day before he was nominated,
and this applies to wise politicians
and newspaper men as well.
Hands Off in Nicaragua
Referring to presidential elec
tions, the government of the United
States today officially notified the
people of Nicaragua that it is taking
no sides in the presidential race in
that Latin-American country and
will express no preference for any
man ‘‘who has been mentioned for
the presidency of Nicaragua.” The
notification is to be delivered through
the state department and the Amer
ican legation at Managua, Nicaragua.
It was couched in diplomatic lan
guage, of course, with assurances of
esteem and friendship, and that sort
of thing, and with reference to both
governments in the third person
singular. Possibly, however, if Uncle
Sam had been privileged to use the
vernacular of politics and the street,
he would have served notice about
like this:
‘‘Listen, Nicaragua, we are not
going to take sides in your presiden
tial rumpus. We are having a big
wrangle over here about the same
thing. Our Democrats are assem
bled at San Francisco; William Jen
nings Bryan, who used to sign notes
to you and treaties, is erupting again.
The wets and drys are in a dog-fall
and the corpse of John Barleycorn is
showing signs of reviving after the
wake. The League of Nations won’t
stay dead either. Go ahead and elect
your president and pray for us to do
the best we can.” Officially, the no
tification which the American min
ister is instructed to deliver in his
name to Nicaragua reads:
“Repeated inquiries have been made
at the department of state at Wash
ington by Representatives of differ
ent political parties of. Nicaragua in
quiring whether certain named per
sons would be agreeable to the gov
ernment at Washington as candidates
for the presidency. In order to avoid
any misapprehension with reference
to the situation, by government au
thorizes me to state that the ques
tion of candidates for the presidency
of Nicaragua is a matter to be de
cided by the people of Nicaragua in
the full and free expression of pub
lic opinion.
“The exceptionally close relations
existing between Nicaragua and the
United States create in both govern
ment and the people of the United
States a deep and abiding interest
that presidential elections In Nica
ragua shall be conducted on the high
est plane, assuring to every qualified
voter not only the free expression
of opinion, but also the accurate
registration of that opinion in the
final result.
“The government of the United
States has expressed no opinion with
reference to the persons who have
been mentioned as candidates for the
presidency. Its sole interest is that
the forthcoming elections be char
acterized by the utmost fairness and
freedom: than an accurate accounting
of the votes cast be made, and that
the candidate receiving the largest
number of popular votes be declared
president-elect of Nicaragua.’
HOMERCUMMINGS
GROOMED AS DARK
HORSE AT FRISCO
(Continued from Page 1)
duced a great man, America needs
Homer Cummings for president.”
The posters were signed by San
Francisco Civilian Democrats, but the
Connecticut delegation, which has in
dorsed Cummings for president, prob
ably had something to do with it.
The delegates are talking more
about Cummings than any other dark
horse, though Vice-President Mar
shall and Champ Clark are men
tioned by the anti-administration
forces and some of the conservative
elements in the party who are restive
under Wilson leadership.
McAdoo Still lieads.
The situation may well arise when
Palmer, McAdoo and Cox may be un
able to get two-thirds. The consider
ation of dark horses would bring
the Palmer and McAdoo men close
together to nominate a Wilson man.
That would make Homer Cummings
logical. His chances are much bet
ter than those 'of Will Hays at Chi
cago, when the dark horse talk began,
but the prospect of nominating a
dark horse is still nebulous.
The McAdoo supporters feel highly
encouraged by that breaking of the
unit rule in New York state. George
Lunn and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt fought a
successful battle in the rules com-,
mittee, and now it is possible for
New York’s ninety votes to be split
up. Charlie Murphy’s power is di
minished. He will try to hold his
delegation together for Governor Al
Smith on the theory that a deadlock
may yield the nomination of the
New York governor. He will hold
that over the heads of recalcitrant del
egates, but the number which prob
ably will go to McAdoo in that New
York delegation is about twenty-five.
There also are Cox and Palmer
votes in New York state. Murphy
may be able to keep sixty-five votes
for Al Smith indefinitely, but once
released from that pledge, there is
no telling to which candidate New
York will ultimately throw her votes.
As matters stand, McAdoo is in
the lead, but no one in his camp
here can demonstrate mathematically
or otherwise where the full two
thirds is coming from. And if Mc-
Adoo doesn’t win, neither Palmer nor
Cox will, but some one like Cummings
will be exhibited as a compromise.

GEORGIA DELEGATES
DENIED SEATS; DID '
NOT APPEAL CASE
(Continued from Page 1)
tude which the regular delegates
found themselves up against: Felix
Jackson, a prominent Gainesville
business man and banker, who has
been urged to make the race for gov
ernor, and who was a supporter of
Senator Hoke Smith in the Georgia
presidential ran across an
old friend from Texas in one of
the hotel lobbies.
Mr. Jackson lived for twenty-five
years in the Lone Star state and was
more or less active in Texas politics.
His Texas friend greeted him with
appropriate cordiality, as they had
been friends and political cronies in
the past. But when the Texas friend
discovered that Yr. Jackson was
here as a member of the delegation
contesting the credentials of the
Palmer delegation, he hauled off and
asserted with brutal frankness that
“any man who supported Hoke Smith
in the Georgia primary was not a
loyal Democrat or a loyal American.”
Then and thereupon Mr. Jackson
told him just where to head in or
where to get off, as the .saying goes.
His language was neither profane nor
rough, but it was equally as frank
as the Texan’s language. When Mr.
Jabkson finished the Texas friend
backed off and apologized. He then
walked around and approached Mr.
Jackson from another angle and apol
ogized again. Later in the day he
returned and repeated his apology,
which, of course, was accepted. But
when it came to a vote in the cre
dentials committee, the Texas mem
ber voted against the regular delega
tion. . , .
This incident is typical of the
prejudiced attitude and hostile view
point which the regular Georgia dele
gates have encountered not only since
the day of their arrival in San Fran
cisco, but almost since the day or
their departure from Atlanta.
Their fellow Democrats from ev
ery state were informed in advance
that they were bolsheviks and reds
and anarchists and hence were en
titled to no consideration in a Demo
cratic convention.
Resent Palmer Men’s Methods
Os course, the members of the
regular delegation do not in tend and
have not threatened to bolt their
party, although some news P
Republican persuasion in San bran
cisco have egged them on to mal
such threats in their accounts of the
Georgia controversy. But they, ao
intend to have their inuing when
they return home, and th ey will place
the blame exactly
for the propaganda which has oeen
"■?L“Kgutar tl 'c.2>'r S la «
not resent the fact that thej
SU d „t?on m,S 1 "° n th“
which went against them were the
onlv thing involved But what tney
do resent and resent very de ® pl y
th a fact that they were thrown out
because their fellow Democr^
not consider them fat to participate
in the councils of the Party.
What they do resent with a grea
dpnl of intensity is the fact that
they were branded before the Y s °t
here with the brand of disloyalty to
their party and their country. They
resenU the fact that the have been
treated as Ishmaelites who deserved
nothing better than political banish
ment Their resentment is not
against the Democrats here assem
bled from other states. It .® en r ;
those who manufactured in Georgia
and issued from Georgia a propagan
da of villification and abuse.
In the regular delegation are men
who have fought the battle of
Democracy from boyhood up. In tne
delegation are men who sent
sons to France, men who went to
France themselves, men who saved
and slcrifced to support the govern
ment on the borne front men who
have done the homely chores, of poll
tics for the administration since the
day President Wilson entered the
race for the Democratic .nomination
eight years ago in the Georgia pn
mary. ..
Arguments the Same
Yet here they find themselves ban
ished from participation m Demo
cratic council by their haying com
mitted the crime of e
views which occasionally differed
with the views of other Democrats.
In a convention of a party whose
cardinal principle is free opision and
majority rule they find themselxes
excluded because their free
has been portrayed as disloyj 9P. 1 "/
ion and because the majority yhich
they represent had been por ’a>ed
as a bolshevik mob. .
The arguments presented to tne
credentials committee at the hear
ing tonight were practically the
same, except in the more detail, as
those presented Saturday at the
hearing before the national commit
tee on the bakeup of the temporary
roll. By reason of being the con
testants’ while the Palmer delegates
were the contestees, the regular del
egates had the opening and close oi
the argument tonight.
laid the foundation of the regular
delegates. Colonel Dean and Ogden
Persons spoke thirty minutes eych.
Former Senator Hardwick closed the
case. Each spoke well.
Colonel Perry showed that all par
ty usage and court decisions, m so
far as the courts have ruled on the
question, were on the side of the
regular delegates in their contention
that a state executive committee has
no power to control the action of a
state convention.
Colonel Dean bore down on the
proposition that the presidential pri
mary and the convention coupled with
it were not a stated primary or a
stated convention, but merely an ad
interim procedure put in motion
by the state committee.
Hardwick-Dean Tilt
His argument was that while the
state committee would have no power
to control the action of the state
convention meetin biennially to make
party rules and elect a committee, in
this particular case the presidential
primary arid its accompanying con
vention were solely the creatures of
the committee and as such were lim
ited to the rules prescribed.
Mr. Persons dwelt at length on the
proposition that all of the candi
dates submitted to the rules without
a protest and then the two defeated
candidates set aside the rules when
the contest was over. Former Sen
ator Hardwick made a powderful ar
gument on the proposition that every
delegation from Georgia to a national
convention so reighty years has been
a delegation elected by a state con
vention. and that state conventions
have always been recognized by na
tional conventions as the supreme
authority in the naming of state dele
gations.
Practically all members of both
delegations attended the hearing.
Former Senator Harwick asked for
an hour for the regular delegates.
Colonel Dean claimed that the Palmer
spokesmen did not need an hour.
But the credentials committee allotted
an hour to each side and the Palmer
spokesmen used all of their time.
In the course of his argument Col
onel Dean introduced a number of
humorous witticisms at the expense
of the regular delegation, most of
them enjoyable, but a few of them
cutting. One of the latter was a
reference to the Macon convention
where Mr. Hardwick was nominated
and to the election two years ago
at which Mr. Hardwick was defeated.
Replying to this thrust, Mr. Hard
wick shook his finger at Colonel
Dean and reminded him that he went
down to defeat without a whine or
a whimper, while the colonel retired
from the senatorial race after one
joint debate which made him sick.
Dean Is Corrected
After the loud laughter had sub
sided, Mr. Hardwick remarked, with
gratification, that the colonel’s health
seemed now to be restored, judging
by the amplitude of his appearance.
Again the laugh was on the colonel.
The odds, therefore, were about
evenly divided on the humorous side,
as well as in the arguments.
At the outset of the hearing a point
was raised as to whether Albert
Howell, the Georgia member of the
credentials commitee, would be al
lowed to vote on a contest involving
his own seat, as well as those of his
colleagues in the convention. In def
erence to the point, Mr. Howell re
quested that he be excused from vot?
ing. He did, however, engage in a
lively two-minute tilt with Samuel A.
King, member of the committee from
Utah, who expressed some forceful
opinions in favor of the regular dele
gation and voted for them.
Once in the course of his speech
Colonel Dean made statements con
cerning the vote in the Atlanta con
vention that were disputed by Arthur
Lucas. The colonel had declared that
all the Smith delegates voted with
the Watson delegates gor a resolu
tion opposing the “League of Nations
brought back from Paris, etc.” Mr.
Lucas spoke up and told the colonel
that he (Lucas) had voted against
that resolution in the language re
ported by the resolutions committee.
Albert Foster made the same point.
So did Felix Jackson. The colonel
then smiled and corrected himself,
explaining that he did not mean to
mis-state the facts.
Imcas Denounces Faimer
One of the interesting features of
the Georgia controversy was an in
terview given out today by Arthur
in which he described him
self as "the administration bat boy
in Georgia.” . . ,
He told of his activity in behalf
of Senator Harris as "the president’s
choice” two years ago, and remarked
with some point that the senator was
now here exerting his influence to
unseat the regular Georgia delegates.
Mr Lucas also took a shot at At
torney General Palmer in reply to the
interview given out by the Palmer
headquarters, describing the regular
delegates as Bolsheviks and Reds.
Mr. Lucas said he was not surprised
that the attorney general’s campaign
spokesman should denounce all
Georgians who voted against Palmer,
in view of the fact that the attorney
general himself had, come to Georgia
after the Michigan primary and de
nounced the Democrats of that state
in identically the same terms because
they declined to vote for him in the
Michigan primary. The Lucas inter
view was displayed under a seven
column headline in one of the after
noon papers Monday.
The states that voted in favor of
the regular Georgia delegates were
California, Massachusetts, Oklahoma
and Utah.

Questions for June 30, 1920.
Questions 4-nswered
1. q. —Are packs of playing cards
always the same?
1. A.—Cards for playing games of
chance are of the most remote an
tiquity and of almost universal
usage, but the decks are not every
where the same Anglo-Saxon peo
ples use packs of fifty-two cards in
four suits of thirteen each. In Italy,
thirty-six cards form a pack, while
the Chinese deck consists of thirty
cards in three suits of nine each and
three superior cards. The old Ger
man pack had only thirty-two cards.
Various artistic embellishments of
the faces of the cards have appeared
from time to time. Among the de
vices used were horsemen, elephants,
bells and flowers. At orie time the
four kings were eliminated from the
pack in America and replaced by por
traits of Washington, John Adams,
Franklin and La Fayette, while the
queens were represented by Venus,
Fortuna. Ceres and Minerva, and the
knaves by Indian chiefs.
2. Q. —When were the Olympic
games first held?
2. A. —The origin of these games
is lost in antiquity. The official list
of victors begins with Coroebus, who
won the foot race in 776 B. C. They
were celebrated every four years,
and were at their height in the fourth
and fifth centuries B. C. The games
continued until 394 A. D., when they
were suppressed by Emperor Theo
dosius. The modern series of Olym
pic games began in Athens in 1896.
3. Q. —Where do we get the ex
pression “stand-patter?” t
3. A. —This is a political slang
expression and was originated by
Senator Hanna, in 1902, to indicate
the attitude of the leaders of the Re
publican party on the tariff question.
It came from "stand pat,” a poker
term, which expresses the intention
of the player to play the cards origi
nally dealt him without helping his
hand by drawing cards.
4. Q. —Who was known as the
Maiden Queen?
THURSDAY, JULY 1,
4. A. —This is a title given to
Queen Elizabeth of England.
5. Q. —Have the Chinese much lit
erature?
5. A. —Chinese literature is so ex
tensive that the catalogue of books
in four imperial libraries which clas
sifies and briefly describes contents,
fills 200 volumes.
6. Q. —What is the difference be
tween Paisley shawls and camel’s
hair shawls?
6. A. —Paisley shawls are very fine
worsted shawls manufactured in
Paisley, Scotland, in imitation of the
genuine camel’s hair shawls, which
were formerly made exclusively in
India. The imitations made in Pais
ley were so fine in many cases as
to require an expert to tell them
from the real.
7. Q. —When was radium discov
ered and what is it worth?
7. A. —This important element was
discovered by Monsier and Madam
Curie in 1898. A gram of radium was
valued at $37,000 in 1915.
8. Q. —What is the origin of the
expression “escaped by the skin of
the teeth?”
8. A.—“My bone cleaveth to my
skin and to my flesh, and I am es
caped with the skin of my teeth,” is
the twentieth verse of the nineteenth
chapter of Job.
9. Q. —I would like to know the
name of the member of congress
who gained notoriety by remarking,
“Mr. Speaker, where am I at?”
9. A. —This was said by James E.
Cobb, Tuskegee, Ala., in 1891. Speak
er of the house, Thomas B. Reed,
replied, “I don’t know. I have been
trying for a long time to find out
just where the gentleman is at.”
10. Q. —Please give me informa
tion on the building of the Statue of
Liberty?
10. A. —The Statue of Liberty was
designed by Bartholdi, the French
sculptor, ■’and presented by the peo
ple of France to the people of Amer

dredth anniversary of American in
dependence. It was dedicated on Oc
tober 22, 1886. The figure itself Is
305 feet eleven inches above mean
