6 MUTT AND I JEFF— IF THIS ‘ IS PRINTED ON A HOT DAY I’LL BE IN LUCK. BY BUD FISHER ' GRAIN 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 YORK COTTON The following were the ruling prices In the exchange today: Tone, steady; middling, 40.50 c, quiet.

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.

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. * NEW YORK SUGAR MARKET Close.

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.

OF HIGH COST FUND ST. LOUIS, July 10.—Repeal of the appropriation granted by 'the last congress to the department of justice to fight the high cost of living will be demanded by Senator Kenyon on the ground that it was used pri marily to boost Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer for the Democratic 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.
