Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Feb 13.—Reports
that Lancashire Spinners of Ameri
can- cotton were again talking short
time and continued complaints of a
poor demand for cotton goods in
the domestic markets seemed to be
the dominating factors at the open
ing of the cotton market here to
day. First prices were unchanged
to 18 points lower and active. old
crop months soon showed net losses
of 30 to 36 points, with May declin- |
ing to 32.89 and July to 31.52. New
crop positions were under less pre -
sure, but October sold 15 points net
lower on the weekly report of-the
weather bureau indicating better
progress with farm work last week.
The Liverpool cables were just abot t ;
as due.
Private cables said it vas doubtful ;
whether a sufficient majority could,
be obtained to carry the i roposal
for organized short-time in Lan
cashire. but the market here con
tinued nervous and unsettled. I here
were rallies of a few points, but to
ward midday active old crop months
sold 38 to 43 points net lower, while
the new crop showed net I jsses of
17 to 28 points. May sold off to
32.85 and July to 31.45. Apprehen
sion that a continued poor demand
for cotton goods would cause in
creased domestic mill curta Iment
had an influence.
There were rallies of about -jO
points from the lowest during the
early afternoon on covering in antici
pation of large figures on domestic
mill consumption from the census
bureau tomorrow, but after selling
up to 33.1fc for May or within 5
points of Monday’s plpsing prices,
eased off several points under re
newed liquidation. Active months
were about 1 Oto 20 points net lower
around 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTO
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 13.—Prices
Tost 22 to 44 points in the first hal'
hour of the session today in cotton
March dropping to 32.76 and Octo
ber to 27.10 cents a pound. The new
crop was stronger than the old be
cause of its discount. Much of the
selling was done on favorable weath
er over the belt and fairly favorable
selling weekly reports from the gov
ernment concerning conditions in
H the cotton region. Selling increased
* on the receipt of private cablegram
from Liverpool to the effect that
trade was worse and that extensive
short time among the mills was ex
pected.
Private reports received here indi
cated some reselling of spot cotton
by domestic, mills was underway. At
lanta wired that one Georgia mill
had resold 2,800 bales. This in
creased offerings of old crops and
put the list twenty-two to fifty points
down. In the trading up to noon
March fold as low as 32.74, but Oc
tober did not make a new low.
Heavy covering by shorts featured
the afternoon session. These buyers
apparently feared bullish consump
tion figures from the census bureau
tomorrow on the opening. Toward
1:30 o’clock prices were 15 to 30
points up from the lowest, March
standing at 33.04.

THE ATLANTA TRL-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
CHICAGO. Feb\ 13. —Wheat
prices suffered a sharp loss- today.
There was a little crumbling of the
b'ifl wail and liquidation put pres
sure on the market which was hard
to withstand. The sharp declin? in
Liverpool yesterday and today seem
ed to discourage the longs and com
mission houses generally had a lit
tle wheat for sale, some of it lor for
eign account.
The break in the English market
was attributed to the settlement cf
the dockworkers' strike. Sterling ex
change was firmer and Italian lire
also was higher, but francs were
easier. However, indications pointed
to a fair demand for wheat f-oni
abroad. Milling demand tor wheat
was light. Receipts at primary mar
kets are showing an increase
Weather conditions are seasonable
and prevent the bulls from injecting
crop damage talk into the mar
ket.
Eyes of the bulls, however, are
turned east, hoping for some con
structive explanation to overshadow
the enormous supplies of wheat in
the visible supply of North Ameri-

May sl.lO 5-S to sl.lO 5-8: July,
sl.lO 5-8 to sl.lO 3-4: September,
sl.ll 1-8 to sl.ll.
Corn also exhibited weakness. The
decline in wheat and a strong be
lief in a crumbling of the cash posi
tion and increased receipts caused
selling by longs and bear pressure.
Commission houses started to buy
at 80 1-2 on resting orders and con
tinued every quarter cent down but
buyers on the spot market were less
anxious owing to receipts for the
two days of nearly 600 cars
Corn closed 3-4 c to 1 3-Sc lower -
May, 79 5-Sc; July 80c to 80 l-8c to
80c: September, 80 l-4c.
Oats were lower with other mar
kets. Some liquidation and a little
hedging was experienced.
Oats were 5-8 c lower; May, 4Sc;
July, 46c; September, 43c.
Lard was firm on buying by for
eign houses and smaller packers.
Ribs acted heavy owing to lack of
demand.
Lard closed 5c to' 12 l-2e higher,
and ribs, 5c lower.

' KIK SOW
IN MING REED
I
COLIMBIA, S. ('. l-'cb. 12. The
: South C'.iTolintt hoii.se of represent:!-
! lives hits withdrawn its invitation
Ito address it extended to Senator
! Heed, of Missouri, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for ptesi
ident. The house’s action, taken
lasi, night ul’ter a vehement dis
cussion in which only two mem
bers expressed opposition, does not
uffeet similar invitations extended
to Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
and William G. McAdoo, other can
didates for the nomination.
Senator Heed was assailed for his
opposition to policies of Wood row
Wilson, and also was described dur
ing the debate as "a traitor to his
country.” The resolution withdraw
ing the invitation states that he
“does not represent the highest
[ideals of the people of this state
;md is not in thorough accord with
the Democratic party, and, in our
opinion, would not be supported by
the electorate of South Carolina.”
Representative Hanahan, of Kail
field. opposing' the withdrawal as
it he “act of school ooys;” voiced the
iopinion that Senator Reed during
the war "should have been placed
witli his back to a wall in front of
a firing squad.” Representative
Gray, of Spartanburg, the other op
ponent of the resolution, held that
the action would be “rude" and vig
orously criticised executive appoint
ments during the Wilson adminis
tration—including that of Bainbridge
Colby, “a rank Republican”—because
of the church or party affiliations
of the officials nanved.
Body of Tutankhamun
Revealed to Explorer
As Coffin Is Opened
LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 12—(By the
Associated. Press.)—The lid of Tut
enkhamun’s sarcophagus was raise !
today. It is understood the body of
the king was found within.
When the lid was raised there was
revealed the most splendid gilded
mummy case ever found in Egypt.
It is about three meters long.
The mummy case bears an effigy
in relief of the king wearing the
“nems.” or sacred headdress, like
that of the Sphinx, decorated with
the head of a hawk and a. serpent in
pure gold set with lapis lazuli. The
hands are crossed, one bearing a
crook sceptre and the other a flail.
A pathetic touch is given the
effigy by a little crown of withered
natural flowers set about the gold
headdress.
The lid of the great pink stone
coffin was raised about two inches
yesterday during a test of the hoist
ing machinery which has been erect
ed in the mortuary chamber by How
ard Carter and his assistants, but
no attempt was made to discern the
contents, as it had been agreed to
have Egyptian government repre
sentatives at the opening.
Mohammed Pasha, under-secretary
of state for public works, who is one
of those here for that purpose, de
clared that a ceremonial opening
might be arranged later.
Beyond the under-secretary and
the local provincial governor, only
representatives of the Egyptian de
partment of antiquities were pres
ent in addition to Mr. Carter and his
principal assistants.
Mr. Carter opened the tomb at
10:15 a. m. Shortly afterward the
police guard above the tomb came
to attention as the under-secretary
for public works, accompanied by the
provincial governor, arrived. At Mr.
Carter’s invitation the officials en
tered the tomb where they inspected
the sarcophagus and the gear in
readiness for the lifting of the lil,
afterward visiting the laboratory in
the tomb of Sett II nearby.
The government's decision to
keep today's operation private caused
disappointment among the archaeol
ogists working at Thebes, whom Mr.
Carter had invited to attend the open
ing of the coffin.
Experts characterized the disclos
ure of the mummy case as the great
est. discovery in the history of Egypt
ology, or possibly in all archaeology.
Georgians Deserting
Reed for Attack on
Klan, Mcßae Asserts
Several signers of the i ecent ap
peal for the support of Senator
James A. Reed, of Missouri, in the
Georgia presidential preference pri
mary, have abandoned die Reed
camp and will offer the name, of a
Georgia man for the presidential
nomination, according to a state
ment made Tuesday by William G.
Mcßae, young Rockmart attorney,
who is now pardon clerk for the
state prison commission.
Mr. Mcßae stat'd’ the defection
was caused by the attack Senator
Reed made last week on the Ku
Klux Klan. He added that a con
ference is to bo heh! in Atlanta
soon to select a candidate for Geor
gians to support. The names of
Chief Justice R. B. Russell ind
Justice James K. Hines, of the
Georgia supreme court, and Seaborn
Wright, of Rome, are under consid
eration. it was stated.
Mr. Mcßae said that he signed the
Reed statement appearing in various
Georgia newspapers on Sunday. Jan
uary 27, and also authorized an an
nouncement that he would be < on
nected with the Reed headquarters,
but later developments have caused
him to change his mind.

dai'd and G. W. Keeling were called ,
it, police cei:: i Tucsda.i morning be- .
for? Recorder Johnson, but were i
continued until Police Chief James 5
Heavers is able to appear in
court. He has been ill at home since j
Sunday.
Attorney Ren Conyers, represent- ;
ing Mi'. Stoddard and Mr. Keeling,!
and Attorney Cam Dorsey, repre
■.- iting Mrs. Candler, vigorously in-;
sisted that the cases be heard and ’
declared that the testimony of Police ;
;'aptain A. J. Holcombe, who was;
with Chief Beavers when the arrests !
were made, would be adequate for j
the prosec' '.ion.
Assh City Attorney Jesse M. '
Wood opposed such a move and call
ed for the statement of Assistant
Chief E. L. Jett, who asserted that
Chief Beavers is sick at home and
threatened with pneumonia. Mr.
Wood argued that the chief's testi
mony is absolutely essential for
the trial of the case.
Judge Johnson first postponed the |
cases until Thursday morning, and)
then upon the statement, that Chief I
Beavers might not at that time be j
able to attend court, directed that a i
physician examine the chief.and
bring word to the court how soon
he might appear as a witness. Judge
Johnson said he would notify opr
posing counsel as to the time set
down lor the hearing of the cases.
All three principals were in. court.
Mrs. Candler, driving her own car,
and accompanied by her sister, Mrs.
.1. B. Brown, arrived 15 minutes be
fore the case was called at 9:30
o’clock. They sat in Chief Beavers’
office until she was called into the
court room.
The cases are the outgrowth
of the arrest of Airs. Candler, Mr.
Stoddard and Mr. Keeling last Sat
urday afternoon in the apartment
house at 48 Juniper street. Chief
Beavers declared that the three per
sons were seated around a table on
v, hich stood a bottle almost emptied
of whisky, and they were charged
with violating section *1768 of the
city code. This section refers to
the arrest of people who are found
in places where whisky <jr other in
toxicants is alleged to be found.
Bonds of SIOO each were assessed
in the case.
Plow Manufacturers
Accused of Boycott
Against Farm Co-op
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—A com
plaint charging principal agricul
tural machinery makers, and some
500 local implement dealers in At
lantic coast states, with conspiracy
to restrain trade by cutting off ma
chie supplies to farmers’ co-op
erative associations, was issued
Alonday by the federal trade com
mission.
The International Harvester com
pany, Emerson-Brantingham com
pany, Moline Plow company, Oliver
Chilled Plow Works, and Deer &
Co., who operate their main plants
in the middle west, and retail deal
ers affiliated with the Eastern Fed
eration Farm Machinery Dealers’
association, were all cited by the
commission to respond within 30
days to the charges.
Reciting the grounds for its ac
tion, the commission said retail
dealers in agricultural implements
located in all the territorj' between
New England on the north and
South Carolina on the south, had
combined for more than seven years
to boycott tiny man u factu ter who
sold to co-operative enterprises of
farmers.
They were further said to have
fixed prices and profit margins in,
the sale of the implements, while
the manufacturers named were said
to have “continuously assisted the
retail dealers’ associations in carry
ing out their purpose, and to have
contributed money for this pur
pose.”

HERRIN. II!.. Feb. 12.—S Glen
■ Young abdicated from the dictator
ship of “Bloody Herrin” today, and
civil authorities, backed by the bay
! onets of 1.800 soldiers, are again in
I power.
I On Saturday. Young, the booze
raider, declared himself ruler of
Herrin, taking the place of the
: chief of police. Major General
j Foreman, in command of the state
; militia, ended the dictatorship and
i declared the regularly constituted
i civil authorities back in power.
I General Foreman, in a public
proclamation, announced the civil
authorities of the county would be
allowed to continue, but that the
troops would remain to assist them.
Danger of further immediate out
breaks tn the war between “dry
Ku Klux Klan forces” and “wet”
anti-klansmen, seemed averted.
Young left his barricaded and for
tified headquarters in the city hall,
I where he has been chief of police,
I judge and jury, and returned to his
I home in Alathon, as General Fore
] man today posted his- proclamation
i saying:
“Hereafter, wearing or carrying
of firearms or other weapons by
anv but authorized officers of the
law is prohibited, and troops are
instructed to confiscate all firearms
and weapons so carried and to hold
the offenders for appropriate ac
tion.
“Only such persons as are legally
elected or appointed will he permit
ted to exercise the functions of dep
uty sheriff, police officer or other
peace officer, and all appointments
for special deputy sheriffs and spe
cial police officers hereafter made
are hereby revoked and annulled.”
Adjutant General Carlos Black
told General Foreman he knew of
no official authority possessed by
Young.
Troops patrolled the streets today
and searched suspicious looking
men for guns, disarming them.
’The tin stars carved with pocket
knives out of tin cans, tnat served
his deputies as badges of authority
for the three days Young controlled
the town, have disappeared.
Herrin has military law, hut not
“martial law,” in the legal sense.
Governor Len Small refused to pro
claim absolute military control afte;
Adjutant General Black had recom-
I mended it.
$25,000,000 Memorial
To Wilson Is Proposed
By Tennessee Legion
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 12.—A
national memorial to Woodrow Wil
son, costing not less than $25,000,000
and surpassing in grandeur and mag
nificence the stateliest yet built to
any ruler or potentate of earth, rep
resents a movement initiated here
Alonday by Tennessee division of the
American Legion.
John R. Quinn, national com
mander of the legion, was present,
asked the resolution's adoption, and
will pass it on to the heads of the
organization, in the various states.
He will likewise present the matter
to the executive committee of the le
gion when it meets at Indianapolis,
May 18 and 19, to be followed, if
adopted, by a campaign for funds,
the most stupendous for a similar
imrpose the world has ever known,
officials said.
According to the plan as proposed,
the memorial would be located on
the banks of the Potomac, where
the war president broke his health
and gave his life.
The idea was conceived by Wil
liam F. Fritts, of Chattanooga, com
mander of Davis King Summers
post.

LINCOLN IS LAUDED
IN DOUSE MEMORIIL
IS FDIENO Os SOUTH
WASHINGTON. Ueb. 12.—Call
ing upon th? ‘'influem e of America
and th? spirit of Abraham Lincoln”
to “lead tl:'' nations of the world
from the hatreds of the past and the
selfishness of the present to the
dawn of a brighter and better day,”
Representative Rathbone. of Illi
nois, the memorial speaker., in 'he
house described the Washington
arms conference as “epoch-making,”
and suggested that further bounds
be “set to the insanity of nations
in piling ever higher and higher
the expense of armaments.”
“Just as Abraham Lincoln has
more than any other statesman set
the moral standard for men.” he
declared, “so we hope and believe.
America, more than any other land,
will fix the moral standard for all
nations.”
Recalling that his parents “were
the young engaged couple, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris, the
daughter of United States Senator
Harris, of New York, who drove
that fateful night of April 14. 1865,
with the president and Mrs. Lincoln
in the carriage to Ford's theater
sat with them in the box wdie.n
the bullet cf the assassin cut short
the life of the president.” the speak
er recited many intimate incidents
in the life of Lincoln.
“1 am able to say with the utmost
assurance of truth and judging
from the words uttered by Lincoln
in the presence of these persons in
his last hours.” said Air. Rathbone,
’that his great heart held nothing
but kindness and good will toward
all his countrymen, and that in his
last moments, he was looking for
ward with the highest hope to an
era of happiness and prosperity for
all his beloved people, north and
south alike.”
INTIMATE RELIC OF LINCOLN
JS GIFT TO LITTLE GIRI.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. .12.—One
of the more personal relics of Abra
ham Lincoln, owned by C. J. Mc-
Kenna, of this city, is a S2O gold
coin framed in a cross of silver, pre
sented in .1861 by Mr. Lincoln to
McKenna s mother, then seven .years
old, because she had told the presi
dent he had “the longest legs 1 ever
saw.”
-It was in 1861 that Captain Ford,
McKenna’s grandfather, was cen
sured by Air. Lincoln for severe
methods he had employed in quelling
riots in Baltimore. Captain Ford
took his young daughter, Sarah,
with him when he called on the
president to explain. Air. Lincoln,
during the conference, held Sarah
un his knees and it was then she
peered into his face, then at his feet
and remarked: “You’ve got the
longest legs I ever saw.”
Lincoln laughed and before Cap
tain Ford and the child departed,
said to Sarah:
“You're a brave little girl.”
The silver cross hears the in
scription, “Presented to Sarah C.
Ford by Abraham Lincoln, president
of the U. S.”
late Governor J. M. Terrell, is a
member of one of the most promi
nent families in the state. He is
former solicitor general and judge
of the Coweta circuit, and one of
the most popular members of the
Georgia Bar association. His entry
into the contest would moan a three
cci r ered race. Governor Walker hav
ing announced for re-election, and
President George S. Carswell otf
the state senate, having thrown his
hat into the ring.
