NEW YORK, Jan- 28.—The cotton
market opened barely steady at a
decline of two to sixteen points and
sold off to 32.50 for March and 33.10
for May or about 37 to 41 points net
lower during the early trading, the
cables made a relatively staedy show
ing notwithstanding the continuance
of the British rail strike but the
market here appeared to be influenc
ed by unfavorable reports from the
cotton goods trade and the continued
talk of increasing domestic mill cur
tailment. Offerings were not par
ticularly heavy but there were com
paratively few buyers apparently
and stop orders were uncovered on
the early break.
Reports that two large mills in
the Augusta district are now run
ning only four days a week may
have been partly responsible for the
early decline. Stop orders were un
covered below 33.25 for May and
after their execution, the market ral
lied 20 or 25 points from the lowest
on covering. Otherwise there did
not appear to be a great deal of buy
ing and the market was quiet later
with prices easing off again under
comparatively small offerings. May
was selling around 32.15 and July
31.90 at midday or about 32 points
net lower.
Trading remained quiet during
the mdidle of the afternoon but
prices held fairly steady at 2 o’clock
with May ruling around 33.24 and
July 32.02 or 20 to 23 points net
lower. October was dull and rela
tively steady at 27.83 or within 2
points of Saturday’s closing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28.—Ab
sence of any special support encour
aged a selling movement in cotton
today and prices fell 17 to 39 points
in the first half hour. March de
clined to 32.80 and October to 27.18.
Offering's were increased by the
weather map, which indicated more
moderate temperatures in the cotton
region and no great amount of rain.
Brokers received more hopeful re
ports from some sections of Texas
regarding the progress of farm work.
At tie lowest of the morning
prices were 23 to 41 points under
the close 'f last week with March
off to 32.78 and October off to 27.12.
A much steadier tone was developed
by cablegiams from London express
ing the opinion that the chances
were favorable for a settlement of
the rail strike within 48 hours. At
noon March stood at 32.89 and Octo
ber at 27 16.
Small advances occurred in the
early afternoon as the result, of the
buying of covers by early sellers for
short account and at 1:30 o’clock
March stood at 32.98 and October at
27.19, the list being 7 to 20 points
up from the lowest.

CHICAGO (Monday), Jan. 28.
Wheat had a break in the early
trading today but good support de
veloped on the break. There was
pressure at the start mostly from
locals and caused by the break in
Liverpool, and the increase ~f. over
6,000,000 bushels in supplies on
ocean passage.
The breaks in corn also induced
selling. On the break, around
SI.OB 1-2 for May there was excellent
buying on resting orders by commis
sion houses. This absorption of of
fering- was felt later when locals
tried to cover short wheat because
of the big reduction in the visible
supply. Prices had a good rally
about midday.
The visible supply decreased 2,213,-
000 bushels last week. Cash wheat
was unchanged to one-half cent low
er. A fair export trade was report
ed closed for nearby shipment. Pri
mary receipts showed a little in
crease over a week agq.
Wheat dosed %ft/!% cents higher; May,
$1.09%; July, $1.07%; September. $1.06%.
Corn broke at the start under sell
ing by longs who were frightened
because of the big receipts in Chi
cago and the southwest. On the
break there was good buying of July
bv a prominent wire house, and this
caught the local crowd short and
they bid up prices later. Visible
supply decreased 304,000 bushels.
Cash corn was unchanged for dry
offerings, and half cent lower for
high moisture content. Shipping de
mand was light.

HAMILTON, Ala., Jan. 27. —Rob-
ert .1. Lancaster was found guilty
of second degree murder ami sen
tenced to serve eighteen years in
the state penitentiary.
With seven other members of
Company M, Alabama national
guard, he was charged with lynch
ing William Baird, a miner, dur
ing the Alabama, coal strike in 1921.
while the command was on guard
duty at Townley, Ala.
The defendant showed no emotion
when the verdict of. the jury was
read. The punishment was fixed
by the jury.
Lancaster was a sergeant of his
company, and was alleged by the
state to have been the leader of a
mob of soldiers which took Baird
from jail on January 13, 1921, and
shot him to death a short distance
from Jasper. Baird was in prison
on a charge of having slain Private
Morris, a member of Company M,
who previously had shot and in
stantly killed .Rev. J. C. Northcutt,
Baird’s father-in-law, while the
guardsman was on patrol duty in
the neighborhood of the Northcutt
home.
Lancaster himself took the state
during Thursday and denied cate
gorically any connection with the
lynching. He also refused state
ments of Bryant Hartley, new wit
ness, introduced by the state on an
effort to show a conspiracy among
the guardsmen to “get Baird.” His
wife and child sat with him during
the trial and arguments of the coun
sel on both sides.

(Continued from Page 1)
testimony referred to was given, he
has been as blind apparently, as Sec
retary of the Navy Denby professed
to be when he testified in the Teapot
pome scandal. Secretary Denby,
who signed the naval oil leases, is
still in President Coolidge’s cabinet,
and Theodore Roosevelt, who testi
fied he approved the leases, is still
Mr. Denby’s assistant. Dr. Work,
responsible for the reclamation serv
ice scandal, is still secretary of the
interior. Others less offensive, but
no less discredited, continue to oc
cupy positions of honor and trust.
No Promise Given
"Although the time would seem to
be ripe for a house-cleaning through
out the entire administration, there
is no promise of it nor any indica
tion that it is contemplated. On the
contrary, the administration, from
the president down, seems to center
its efforts upon the nomination of
Mr. Coolidge with the hope of per
petuating itself. One of the many
recent evidences that it is doing is
the naming of Attorney General
Daugherty as a delegate to the Re
publican national convention in June.
“The work of cleaning these Au
gean stables devolves upon the peo
ple. They are the. ones who must
answer and decide the question:
‘Shall the United States have cor
rupt government or jlean govern
ment 9 ’
"They know, or should know, in
advance, that no change for the bet
ter can take place under a Repub
lican president dominated, by this
selfish and reactionary clement in
the party, which is in league with
corrupt business, no matter who the
Republican nominee may be.
"The same crowd of ruthless re
actionaries dominates the govern
ment now that has dominated it
since March 4, 1921. This same
crowd is going to nominate the Re
publican candidate for president this
year, and whoever accepts a. nomi
nation at their hands must necessa
rily accept their domination of his
administration with it.
“There is one way and only one
way to clean house, punish the per
petrators of the scandals already re

PRESIDENT TO PUSH
FULL INVESTIGATION
OF ALL OIL LEASES
(Continued from Page 1)
eluded from the preparation or
handling of the legal proceedings
Attorney General Daugherty. En
gaging of special counsel was pro
vided for by the resolutions.
Naval Coni ‘ttee Acts
The house naval affairs' commit
tee also took a hand in the case by
deciding to find out what Secretary
of the Navy Denby, Theodore Roose
velt, assistant secretary, and Rear
Admiral J. K. Robison, head of the
bureau of engineering, know about
the leases.
Secretary Denby approved the
leases, and Roosevelt also had a part
in it.
Senator Walsh has been seeking
tome means of putting Mr. Denby
on the stand, but could find no peg
on which to hang the inquiry, be
yond -he questions already asked
Mi. Denby. House committee mem
bers believe, however, they can get
some information from him about
these points:
1. Whether he got protests from
naval officers against making the
leases, and if so, what he did about
chose protests.
2 Whether he transferred to out
of the way stations such naval offi
cers as opposed his views on the
leases-.
3. Whether he advocated transfer
f'.om the control of the navy to the
interior department of the naval re
serves.
While the house committee was
formulating its plan of inquiry,
which will be developed at a meet
ing Monday. Senator Hiram John
son, President Coolidge’s rival for
the Republican presidential nomina
tion, demanded in a statement that
•the administration at once annul the
leases.
Administration Assailed
Cordell Hull, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, like
wise assailed the administration on
the basis of its inaction.
The senate committee, in a con
tinuation this, afternoon of its hear
ing, questioned Archie Roosevelt,
formerly vice president of one of
Sinclair’s oil companies, and G. D
'.Vahlberg, formerly Sinclair’s per
sonal secretary, regarding some
phases of their previous testimony.
Fall’s note for $25,000, loaned him
by James W. Zevely, Sinclair attor
ney, was presented to the committee
today G. T. Stanford, also a Sin
clair attorney. The note read:
“May 28. 1923—Twelve months
after date I promise to pay
James W. Zevely the sum of
525.000.”
Zevely testified Friday that he ob
tained $25,000 in Liberty bonds from
Sinclair, without security, and sent
them to an El Paso bank for Fall.
He said he also gave Fall SIO,OOO
for “expenses” on bis Russian trip
with Sinclair.
Archie Roosevelt, who resigned
from Sinclair’s employ because of
“suspicions - ' regaiding the Teapot
Dome lease, was recalled to the
stand, and under cross examination,
ibiterateC his previous testimony
that Wahibcrg had told him Sin
clair's checks for $68,000 had been I
sent to the foreman of Fall's New
Mexico ranch.
“Are you sure Wahlberg said
those checks went to the foreman?”
asked Senator Smoot.
At the last hearing. Roosevelt
said Wahlberg told him of Sin
rlair’s cancelled checks tor S6B 900,
but Walberg denying the statement,
said he mentioned "six or eight
cows.”
Wahlberg followed Roosevelt on
the stand. He cleared up the dis
crepancy between his previous tea
timony and that of Zevely Friday.
He admitted that he "must have
been mistaken before” when he
placed the time of handing over
$25,000 in Liberty bonds to Zevely
as 1922.
"As near as I can remember It
now, it was in May, 1923,” Wahl
berg said.
Zevely testified yesterday it was
June. 1923, and said his memory
had been refreshed.
Wahlberg said in answer to ques
tions by Stanford that he thought
Roosevelt "mistook” his statement
about the foreman of Sinclair’s
horse farm. Jobstown, N. J., to
mean the foreman of Fall’s ranch
in New Mexico.
Both of the checks were issued
to Sam Hildreth, race horse trainer
for Sinclair. They totaled $68,1124.-
27. Hildreth identified the checks.
Wahlberg said that when he ex
pressed regret over Sinclair’s being
forced to take poor accommodations
on the ship to Europe, “Roosevelt
told me to tell Sinclair to go to
hell. He’s only an upstart anyway;
what does he expect?” Roosevelt
said.
Criticism of Coolidge
President Coolidge was severely
criticised by Chairman Hull in a
lengthy statement on the leasing
scandal.
After declaring that "this admin
istration came into power March 4
1921, under the shadow of the New
berry and the Daugherty scandals,”
Hull stated that the Teapot Dome
scandal is the climax.
"During most of this administra
tion, Mr. Coolidge was vice presi
dent,” Chairman Hull added, “and
sat as an unofficial member of the
president’s cabinet. For nearly six
months he has been president. Dur
ing all this time he has uttered no
word of condemnation of any of
these scandals.
"Although the time would seem
to be ripe for a house cleaning
throughout the entire administra
tion, there is no promise of it nor
any indication that it is contem
plated.
“The work of cleaning the Augean
stables developed upon the people.”
Half a Billion Acres
Os U. S. Public Lands
Are Still Unsurveyed
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.—Govern
ment surveyors have yet to focus
their instruments on more than half
a billion acres of the public domain,
according to a report issued today
by the interior department, and the
potential wealth of this vast, virgin
acreage may not be known for sev
eral score of years.
A total of 376,462,000 acres in Alas
ka and 151,106,769 acres in the west
ern states remain unsurveyed, and
it is estimated by the general land of
fice that if an additional rate of 26,-
751 lineal miles, the area inspected in
the west last year—is maintained,
it will take more than 20 years to
cover this territory alone.
Os the unsurveyed acreage in the
United States. 56,026,912 are classed
as vacant, unappropriated and un
reserved public lands.

BOOSTING IS REAL
SCIENCE IN CITIES
OF SUNNY FLORIDA
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Leased Wire Service io The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 26. —Southern
Florida, with its network of amaz
ing cities and home communities, is
a living monument to the efficacy
of publicity.
The great game of "boosting” is
common to nearly every American
municipality. Even austere and
domineering New York recently has
fallen for the custom, and resorted
to real old down home Main street
methods to win the Democratic con
vention. Jt is frankly admitted in
the metropolis that New Yorkers
wanted the convention in order to
show a lot of the supposedly de
spired “hicks’ 7 from the country
what a. "real town” New York is,
and how hospitable its supposedly
cold and bloodless people can be.
Down here, they have reduced the
boosting art to a science, not only a
science but a continuing business.
In all the wailing and gnashing of
teeth, which has been going up the
country over on the subject of taxa
tion, not a murmur has been heard
from the property holders of Miami,
who, in addition to all their other
federal, state and county assess
ments, pay annually a city publicity
tax. This year the publicity tax will
yield more than SIOO,OOO, and every
cent of it will be spent in advertis
ing Miami and entertaining the win
ter visitors to this locality.
Other Florida communities are
following the example of Miami in
many of her publicity methods and
they, too, may soon impose a pub
licity tax on the residents. It is
felt here now tiiat Miami is suf
ficiently well known to attract tour
ists and winter home-seekers, so an
effort is to be made to prolong the
“season.” The most fashionable
folk, it seems, think it would be
absolutely “dowdy" to come to Flori
da much before the middle of Janu
ary, and along toward the end of
February they begin winging their
way north again, generally by easy
stages. Florida wants the “strang
ers” to come in December, and re
main until April at least. The
Floridians would like to keep the
strangers all year long, and appar
ently are keeping more and more
of them every year.
An insight into the way a grow
ing city and winter resort carries
on its publicity ruay be had from a
report made by the Miami Chamber
of Commerce. The budget for ex
pending the city publicity tax fund
includes an item of $35,000 for Pry
or’s band, to play twice daily in the
public park. The sum of $30,000 is
set aside for advertising in news
papers and magazines.
In addition to the SIOO,OOO pro
vided for taxes, the chamber of com
merce is spending $45,000 this win
ter on entertainment of visitors, an
outdoor sports bureau, pageants, air
meets, flower shows, etc.
Countless millions of dollars are
being poured into Florida every
year by northern and western visi
tors, and by northern and western
capitalists. The latter money is be
ing spent in industry, in property
development and in more advertis
ing. Advertising has shown its val
ue down here in a thousand ways.
More and more northern people are
coming into the state to live and
eventually this influx is going to
have an effect upon the politics of
Florida. Os course, the •"crackers”
still outnumber the new residents
by a large ratio, but the wishes and
the views of the newcomers are be
ing considered more and more, and
it would not be surprising to see
Florida in a few years a real politi
cal battle ground.

ALABAMA MINE FISE
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 26
The most costly fire ever known in
Alabama .is one which hajs been
burning for the past twenty years
in an abandoned coal mine, one and
one-half miles west of Jasper, Ala.
Some years ago all efforts to ex
tinguish the fire at this mine were
abandoned.
J. E. Buchanan, expert coal op
erator of Jasper, Ala., estimates
that during the past twenty years
fully 500,000 tons of fine coal, valued
at the mines at over $1,000,000, has
been consumed by this fire.
The mine belongs to the Brilliant
Coal company, of Jasper, A]a. Some
years ago this company had a large
crew of men pouring oceans of
water on the flames for a number
of days. But the water only seemed
to make the coal burn the better.
The mine is located in the side of a
small mountain, which is almost a
solid mass of coal. Experts say the
fire has now burned far back into
the mountain, and that there is no
way of gettinig water to it. It is
the belief of practical coal men that
this fire will burn on and on until
all of the coal under the entire

mountain is consumed, and th<
earth above gives way. They esti
mate it will require something Ilk*
fifty more years for the fire to con
sume the entire deposit of coal in
this mountain.
The mine, being located on an
elevation, gives out a heavy black
smoke and. a blaze which may b»
seen for many miles away at night.
When the blaze first started many
country people, living some miles
away, and being of a superstitious
turn of mind, saw the reflection of
the flames and the volumes of black
smoke n the sky and thought that
judgment day had come.
Owners of the mine say no further
efforts will be made to extinguish
the flames in this mine, they re
garding it is impossible. So severaa
million tons more of coal will he
consumed here during the years, to
come, it is estimated.
