NEW YORK, July 12. —The cotton market
opened firm at au advance of 20 to 40 points
on Liverpool buying and a continuation of
the covering movement which bad been
I started by disappointing private condition
figures on Saturday. October contracts sold
up to 38.60 and December to 31.90, making
advances of about 105 to 110 points from the
low levels of last Friday. There was con
siderable realising at these figures while
covering became less active. The first batch
of buying orders had been supplied and
prices eased off before the end of the first
hour although there was some nervousness
over the continued showers in the belt and
reports that boll weevil were becoming more
numerous.
Th mid-morning reaction carried October
contracts off to 33.17 and December to
31.60, or back to about the closing prices of
Saturday. There was some foreign trade
•w buying off winter and early spring months
on this setback, however, while ideas as to
the actual progress of the crop under pre
’ vailing weather conditions seemed to be
more or Jess confused and prices steadied
up later ft the morning. Trading was fairly
active at the start but became comparatively
quiet late in the morning with October con
tracts rulrlng around 33.22 shortly after
mid-day, 7 points net higher. A Memphis
report placed the condition of th6 crop at
73.8 on July 8, compared with 69.3 at he
end of June.
The midafternoon market was quiet and
fairly steady, with July ruling around 39.60 c,
or about 25 points net higher, while October
held at 33.24 c, or 10 points above Saturday’s
closing quotations. •

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 12.—Reports of
scattered showers over a considerable area
of the belt and better cables than due put
the price of cotton 13 to 18 points over the '
close of last week in the early trading to- I •
day. First gains were not well maintained, [
mainly because the weather map, when I
posted, was not as wet as expected from |
private returns from the interior. By the ,
< end of the first hour of business the more ,
active months were 3 to 10 points under • ,
last week’s final prices. October traded up
to 32.80 and then fell off to 32.62. i
Private bpreau semi-monthly report on
condition of 73.8 per cent of norfiial was
received bullishly and buying on it continued
until the trading months were 17 to 26
points higher than the close of Saturday.
October went to 32.91. The forecast of fair
weather for the entire eastern belt seemed
to' check the demand late in the morning.
Late in the session longs were inclinted
to even up and the market softened some
what under their offerings, falling 3 to 6
points under the final prices of last week.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTO- LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 12. —The cotton
market has sustained today by private re
ports of too much rain in some sections of
lite belt and a great deal of talk of weevil
damage, especially in Texas. The Memphis
Commercial Appeal semi-monthly report of
73.8, showing a gain for the half month of
4|5 points, was received in a bullish way.
While the official forecast calls for dry
weather over the greater part of the belt
the barometer was low to the west and north
of the cotton region which caused private
predictions of more rain. Wet weather would
cause instant buying.

GOVERNOR HAS
GRANTED PAROLE
TO MRS. GODBEE
Governor Dorsey on Friday after
noon announced that he had granted
a parole to Mrs. Edna Perkins God
bee, principal in one of the most fa
mous murder cases in the southern
states, who was sentenced to life
imprisonment for the killing of her
former husband, Judge Walter S.
Godbee and his wife, Mrs. Florence
Boyer Godbee.
The case is one that has attracted
much attention through the efforts of
Mrs. Sarah Godbee Griner, daughter
of the convicted woman, to obtain a
pardon or a parole for her mother.
“Sad-eyed Sarah,” as she came to be
known, was at her mother’s side all
through the trial six years ago and
when Mrs. Godbee was sent to the
state penitentiary she kept up an un
ceasing fight to secure her release
through executive clemency.
It became evident some months
ago that Governor Dorsey was dis
inclined to grant Mrs. Godbee a full
pardon and the energies of the de
fense were then directed toward se
curing a parole. Evidence was intro
duced before the state prison com
mission and before the governor to
show that Mrs. Godbee’s health was
broken and that her release from the
penitentiary was imperative to pre
vent her death. Attorney A. S. An
derson, of Millen, Ga„ and represent
ative from Jenkins county in the
state legislature, presented the case
before the prison commission and the
governor. Mr, Anderson had been one
of the prosecuting attorneys at Mrs.
Godbee’s trial.
Mrs. Godbee, it is understood, will
leave at once for Kansas to make her
home with her daughter, who has re
sided there for some time, .Kiaklng
frequent trips back to Georgia in the
effort to secure her mother’s r e,
The crime for which Mrs. Godbes
was sentenced to life
was committed in 1913 at Millen, Ga.
She was Judge Godbee s second wife
having separated from him a^ ter a
series of circumstances which arous
ed much interest in that section ot
the state. Prior to the separation
Judge Godbee had shot and killed a
brother of his wife during an alter
cation over Mrs. Godbee s interest in
her father’s estate. Judge Godbee
was never brought to trial and self
defense was the reason advanced for
the killing.
After the divorce proceedings
Judge Godbee married for the third
time. His wife was Miss Florence
Boyer, of Williamsport, Pa. The
couple lived in Millen, where his di
vorced wife also made her home.
The killing occurred in the post
office at Millen. Mrs. Godbee met her
divorced husband and his wife and
immediately began shooting, killing
Judge Godbee instantly, while his
wife lived several hours. The trial
was one of the most sensational in
the history of Georgia courts and
Mrs. Godbee was convicted of mur
der with a recommendation to mercy
by the jury. She was accordingly
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Belled Buzzard
Believed Dead
WAYCROSS, Ga., July 10.—The fa
mous “belled buzzard” of south
Georgia, known to be over 100 years
old, is believed to be dead. The buz
zard has a small sleigh bell tied
around its neck, which is said to
have been placed there during the
War of 1812. It has been seen in
south Georgia counties at Intervals
for many years and was easily dis
tinguished from its companions by
its size and the bell around its neck.
It was seen several weeks ago on
the farm of W. H. Leach, Second
Creek, W. Va„ and looked to be very
emaciated and about ready to give
up its widely known career. The fa
mous buzzard has always been a
follower of war’s carnage and is said
to have been present at every battle
of size north of the equator.
It has been seen as far south as
Peru, although its summers were
usually spent in the southern states.
During the Mexican trouble several
years ago it spent two whole years
at the border and witnessed skir
mishes with the greasers.
When the bird was last seen It
was flying low with a number of
other buzzards accompanying it ana
it was especially noticed that the
bird had got its beak fastened be
hind the leather strap which sup
ported the bell and was unable to
free itself. An attempt to release the
head of the bird failed, as it would
not allow a person to come within
several yards of it. It is felt that
the famous old "war buzzard” has
since died.

per cent of a normal, fields mostly clean.
The entire cotton belt witli hardly ’a local
exception enjoyed favorable weather during
the past two weeks and the crop made good
to excellent progress In each of the ten prin
cipal cotton growing states. Reports sent
in by commercial correspondents indicate
that the conditions of the crop as of July
8, was 73.8 per cent of normal compared
with 69.3 per cent at June 25. Roll weevil
and lateness averaging from 2 to 4 weeks
constitute about the only drawbacks. 801 l
weevil is scattered in large numbers over

are menacing, but so far serious damage
has been confined to southern portions of

presidential nomination; the sena
tor announced today.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
senate committee investigating pres
idential campaign expenditures, which
is holding hearings here, said he
was convinced that “little of this
appropriation was used to fight the
high cost of living.”
Senator Kenyon will leave for
Washington for several conferences
which he said were “secret, but very
important.” Later he will go to
Maine for a vacation, he said.
Hearings Concluded
Senator Kenyon pointed out that
the investigating committe was in
structed by congres to investigate
prdsidential campaign expenditures
by the Republican and Democratic
nominees. Campaign activities of
Governor Cox and Senator Harding
probably "would be looked into,” he
said.
He said he was convinced from the
testimony presented before the com
mittee that the manner in which the
department of justice had used the
high cost of living appropriation had
been “a great misuse of public
funds.” The appropriation totalle’d
around a half million dollars, Sena
tor Kenyon thought. The senator’s
statements were made in an informal
talk to newspaper men and were ont
to be considered as emanating from
the committee itself he said.
The committee concluded its hear
ings here today wit hthe examination
of- several minor witnesses among
whom was Miss Annie Laurie Mee
han, stenographer at the Missouri
“H. C. L.” bureau, who told of pre
paring what she termed a “Demo
cratic program to educate the people
concerning the Democratic party.”
She said she understood these pro
grams had been mailed from the bu
reau to many newspapers..
Questioning of a dozen witnesses
by the senate committee investigat
ing campaign expenditures Friday
resulted in charges that high cost of
living bureaus established by the de-.
partment of justice were “political
enterprises” used primarily "to bring
about the nomination of Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer for presi
dent. by the Democratic national
convention.”
Witnesses also declared that Ed
ward Goltra, Democratic national
committeeman from Missouri,- dis
tributed $l5O checks to St. Louis
delegates to the state convention
which was instrumental in the oust
ing of Senator James Reed, of Mis
souri, from his national convention
seat. Goltra was declared by wit
nesses to' be a supporter of Balmer,
but a few also admitted receiving
expense money from A. C. Stuevers,
a local capitalist, said to have been
a supporter of Governor Cox.
Talked Politics
The charges against the attorney
general and the department of jus
tice were made by Miss Olivia
Brueggeman, formerly executive sec
retary of the Missouri high cost of
living bureau, who declared she “was
dismissed because I was a Repub
lican.”
Mrs. John R. Leighty, chairman
of the bureau, and Miss Mary Scott,
its publicity director, partly' contra
dicted Miss Brueggeman’s testimony,
declaring that while its representa
tives had attended state Democratic
and Republican conventions partly
at government expense, they did so
to organize counties in the anti-high t
cost of living campaign. *
Questioned by Senator Kenyon,
they admitted that “no counties
were organized at these conven
tions,” and that they also talked
politics with the women there.
Miss Brueggeman, answering ques
tions without hesitation, told the
compiittee that workers employed by
the department of justice to educate
the people in lowering living costs,
confined their speeches to boosting
Palmer and generally the only time
living costs were mentioned were
when the speakers would explain that
election of Paljner to the presidency
would mean lower prices.
“We are asked to-includc Palmer
publicity- matter in our ‘H. C. L.’
publicity and to use it in such a
way that it would not be quickly
detected as a boost for him for presi
dent. This was Such pub
licity was frequently mailed to 219
Missouri papers.
9100,000 a Year
“It was used by only a few, how
ever, and this caused an investiga
tion by Howard Figg, assistant attor
ney general. It then came out that I
was a Republican and I was dis
missed. Mrs. Frank Hayes, former
chairman of the bureau, also was dis
missed because she was a Republican.
“When our representatives attend
ed the state conventions the govern
ment paid their railroad fare and al
lowed $4 a day extra. They went
apparently to organize counties, but
in reality to boost Palmer fojr presi
dent.”
Miss Bruggeman said there were
eighteen “H. C. L.” bureaus in the
country “run at a cost of ztt least
SIOO,OOO a year,’’ and that she under
stood they also were used to advo
cate Palmer’s candidacy.
Miss Scott denied that any pub
licity matter in support of the at
torney general’s candidacy had been
sent out from the bureau. Senator
Kenyon asked her questions so fast
that at times she seemed on the
verge of breaking down.
“Before God, senator, we were
justified in using government money
in attending the conventions, for we
did government work,” she said.
McAdoo Expenses in
Race Amount to $443
LOS ANGELES, July 10.—-Ex
penses of the campaign to obtain
the Democratic presidential candidacy
for William G. McAdoo, former sec
retary of the treasurer, totaled $443,
said judge S. B. Amidon, of Wichita,
Kan., here today. .Judge Amidon,
who is a national Democratic commit
teeman, managed the McAdoo forces
at the San Francisco convention. He
said the money was supplied by him
self and three friends.
NEW PARTY MERGER
BEING WORKED OUT
IN SECRET SESSION
(Continued from Page 1)
son, of Minneapolis, national lecturer
for the Nonpartisan league.
Victor .Berger strolled in and took
a seat at the press table "as a
friendly spectator,” he said.
Amalgamation of the labor party
of the United States and the
committee of forty-eight in a
new political movement with a
single party name, one platform
and aone presidential ticket, are
included in the recommendations
adopted by the labor and forty
eight conventions when they recon
vened today.
Fusion Plans
Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of
Wisconsin, remained the most talked
of candidate in the presidential race.
The terms of the proposed combine
are understood by the party leaders
to meet his views as expressed last
week to Amos Pinchot and George L.
Record, leading forty-eighters, who
called on the senator to askxjf he
would accept the nomination should
it be tendered him.,
Conference committees appointed
yesterday by the labor convention
and Saturday by the forty-eighters
smoothed out objections to amalga
mation in a protracted session last
night and adopted a series of recom
mendations to be offered to the two
conventions today. Besides urging
the combining of forces under a com
mon standard with a common name
they also proposed appointment of a
special subcommittee to draft the
machinery under which the-combine
will work and to prepare a joint
platform. . '
The recommendations, lr approved
today, as the leaders confidently ex
pect, mean that the two conventions
will preserve their separate identity
and continue to function in separate
sessios, with subcommittees report
ing identical measures to each for
discussion and action.
liaFollette Is Leading
What reception the amalgamation
proposal will receive from other lib
eral and radical groups now meet
ing here only time can show. The
single tax party, also in national
convention assembled, is divided, ac
cording to expressions of various
leaders, on the availability of Sen
ator LaFollette as presidential nom
inee. One group of single taxers
has announced it will bolt the pro
posed combine rather than stand for
LaFollette, while another faction has
declared it will accept any presiden
tial nominee so long as a single tax
plank is incorporated in the’ plat
form.
If LaFollette wants the third par
ty nomination he can have it, both
laborites and forty-eighters agree.
He is already the overwhelming
choice of the forty-eighters, a mail
referendum has shown. While other
candidates will be placed in nomi
nation in the labor convention, and
probably in the forty-eight meeting,
too, the senator’s friends say both
groups are ready to nominate him.
Frank P. Walsh, Kansas' City;
Charles H. Ingersoll, watch manu
facturer, and Henry Ford have been
mentioned for the nomination, but
there is 'no apparent concerted ac
tion to further the prospects of any
one of them. Walsh is also being
dikcussed for vice president.
Yesterday was given ov«r to the
opening session of the labor conven
tion, with delegates from sixty trade
union groups and other organiza
tions represented. The forty-eight
ers and single taxers, whose conven
tion opened Saturday, .had recessed
for the day, and practically their
entire membership attended the la
bor convention, many participating
as active delegates.
Cheers for Soipiet
Prominent among those assuming
a dual delegate role was James Dun
can, one of the leaders of the gen
eral strike in Seattle last year. Dun
can on Saturday was elected chair
man of the Washington delegation to
the convention of the committee of
forty-eight and yesterday was chosen
vice chairman of the labor conven
tion.’
The radical groups who, accord
ing to Swinburne Hale, one of their
leaders, were in the minority in the
forty-eight convention Saturday,
were in the ascendency yesterday,
and vigorously applauded when their
leaders prayed for the day when the
workers of Americd would follow the
example set by the workers of Rus
sia.
Every reference to Russia ajhd to
Ireland, too, was applauded with a
will, and when John Fitzpatrick, the
labor keynoter, praised the Russian
revolution, three cheers for soviet
Russia were called for ,and given.
Sittingilate last night, the commit
tee in conference over the amalgama
tion proposals, found the selection of
a name for their new political party
to be more than a minor problem.
Combinations upon the word "labor”
were in disfavor among the Commit
tee of Forty-eight representatives,
but “American Party” was presented
by several spokesmen. “The Union
Party” was likewise a title presented,
but no decision was reached.
Amalgamation proposals halted
real work in platform committees of
all gatherings, since they involved
au arrangement for direct co-opera
tion between all groups concerned.
The conference also considered a
proposal to bring all of the delegates
assembled in the two conventions
into a single session for platform
adoption and presidential combina
tions.
More Amalgamation Efforts
Amalgamation efforts were carried
further today under the direction of
the Committee of Forty-Eight. A
special- subcommittee headed by Mrs.
Ina P. Williams, of Washington
state, carried invitations to repre
sentatives of the Nonpartisan league,
the Single Tax convention, the World
War Veterans’ association and the
American Constitutional party that
delegates attend the Committee of
Forty-Eight convention. All agreed
to go that far, it was said, on the
understanding that they were not
bound to remain in the sessions and
support the decisions.
The question of a name for the
fusionist organization projected wor
ried the conference committees. The
“Farmer-Labor party” was a sugges
tion seriously considered today.
Th<* resolutions committee of the
committee of 48. held another session
today. It was announced that while
the principal planks of the platform
had been built without trouble a
number of what were described as
"annoying details” were still to be
considered and disposed of.
According to Chairman Record, the
platform would not actually be com
pleted before tonight.
Labor Convention at Stand/still
Business of the labor party con
vention was virtually suspended to
day pending the outcome of fusion
negotiations now going on, in an
effort to unite the various minority
groups here in a tnird party.
Party leaders expressed the great
est confidence today that details of
amalgamation would be worked out
and ratified by the labor convention
and the Committee of Forty-Eight
convention.
Toscan Bennett, Connecticut, chair
man of the labor party’s conference
committee, which has been meeting
with a similar committee from the
Fortv-Eighters, said today t*iat in his
opinion, the platform is not a real
obstacle to unity.
“I believe,” said Bennett, "that
neither the labor convention nor that
of the Forty-Eighters would accept
a platform that provides for any
thing less than national ownership
and democratic control of public
utilities.
“The Forty-Eighters, in my opin-'
ion, go as far as we do on that.”
Labor delegates declared that if
amalgamation of any other sort of
platform is attempted, there will be
a bolt.
Labor’s conference committee met
today with farmer groups, to learn
their position on amalgamation.
The labor party’s conference com
mittee, intimating that it would be
ready to report tonight on amalgama
tion, asked that a night session be
held. The convention adopted a mo
tion to convene at 8 o’clock.
The rest of the day was turned
over by common consent to speech
making by delegates and visitors.
Frank P. Walsh will address the
convention today.
OHIO. NEW JERSEY
CALIFORNIA AND
INDIANA FOR COX
(Continued, from Page 1)
and the wet vote and the following
which the organization of Tom Tag
gart, candidate for United States
senator, can mobilize for the ticket
this Vear, few Democrats entertain
the slightest idea than any Demo
cratic candidate could carry Illinois.
So with Cox splitting the east and
deriving little succor from the west,
the table above gives a generous
scattering of states east of the Mis
sissippi to the Ohio governor which,
together with California and Mon
tana and the solid south, would not
be sufficient to elect him but would
put Harding in the White House.
Cox Has Even Chance
But Governor Cox’s chances to be
president of the United States are
nevertheless even for a change of
only one or two states in the fore
going table w’ould put him above 266
and bring Harding below the majority
line. Supposing, for example, the
third party nominates La Follette or
anybody also pleasing to the Non-
Partisan league—the chances are bet
ter than even that they will split the
Republican vofte which is largest in
the northwest, and then the normal
Democratic vote would probably ex
ceed either half of the Republican
strength, thus giving Minnesota or
North Dakota or Wisconsin to Cox.
If Cox won Wisconsin, his total
would be 267, and if he won only
Minnesota, he would have 266, either
of which totals would elect him pres
ident. , .
On the other hand, that doesn t, by
any means, end the capacity of the
third party for turning things upside
down. Should the candidate of the
third ticket carry Minnesota, Wis
consin and North Dakota, which
would mean a total of thirty electoral
votes, the result might be to give
neither Cox nor Harding a majority
and throw the whole thing into the
house of representatives for decision.
Unquestionably, as things stand to
day, the contest is a close one and
the third party movement, while in
significant in its effect upon the east
ern or middle western states, has po
tentialities for harm to t|ie Republi
can presidential ticket in Wisconsin,
North Dakota and Minnesota.
All the calculations are baseq on
the assumption that Cox favors light
wines and beer for home use only as
proposed by Tammany and the other
states which dictated the nomination
of Cox. This is an assumption which,
in the absence of refutation from
Cox himself, will be further intensi
fied by party workers eager to corral
the largest wet vote possible. Should
Cox steer clear of the prohibition
question and suddenly take the same
position as Harding on it, there will
be nothing especial to commend him
to the voters of New Jersey or In
diana or Maryland, "where the inclina
tion is Republican-Xrall other things
being equal.
Governor Cox’s chances of winning
the big eastern states rest entirely
upon his views on prohibition which,
despite the omission of any special
plank thereon from either the Repub
lican or Democratic platforms, is
likely to be more discussed by the
voters than anything in both plat
forms. It is the biggest vote-getting
or vote-losing issue in the campaign.
