. . ——
NEW YORK, March 3.—There was
a good deal of covering at the open
ing- of the cotton market, today.
> First.prices were firm at an advance
of 10 to 18 points, although Liver
pool made a full response to Satur
day’s decline anil there was also
some trade buying in the local mar
ket,. Mav advanced to 28.42, but
tnere was continued southern selling
and the market was unsettled dur
ing the early trading. May reacted
to 28.08 and after selling- at 27.70
on the call, July broke to 27.38.
making net declines of about 12
points. Houses with New Orleans
and other southern connections were
sellers here. Private cables reported
a steady market at the decline in
Liverpool with liquidation less in
evidence.
The break extended to 27.55 c for
May before the end of the first hour,
making a net decline of 65 points.
Stop orders were executed on this
break and the market rallied later on
covering, with May selling up to
28.15 c. or about 50 points from the
lowest. Some trade buying was also
reported, but the market continued
nervousness at midday with active
months about 22 to 35 points net
lower.
Offerings were lighter during the
early afternoon and the market ad
vanced on covering which was pro
moted by rather more favorable re
ports from southern cotton goods
markets and talk of a firm technical
position. May advanced to 28.47 or
92 points from the lowest and 27
points net higher. Prices were with
in 4 or 5 points of the best around
1 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March 3. —Cot-
ton opened with all active months
showing small gains over the pre
vious close. By the end of the
opening call March- traded at 28.61
or six points net up and May soon
touched-28.35 or 28 points up, while
October was 10 points up at 24.70.
Liverpool came in about as due.
The weather map shoewd increasing
cloudiness in east Texas leading to
expectations of an early change to
unsettled weather. The market
turned weak near the end of the
first half-hour of trading, May sink
ing to 27.85 and July to 26.85 or 50
to 52 points down from the initial
high. (The depressant was rumors
of more sensational news from
Washington.)
Cotton continued to east off main
ly on the talk of further develop
ments in connection with the oil
> scandal probe until May traded at
27.50, or 85 points down from the
early high. Other months were not
quite so weak. There "as a good
• rally later in the morning, on cover
ing by shorts in advance of the holi
day here tomorrow, and on Liver
pool cables saying that the labor
trouble in Lancashire was likely to
be settled without a lockout. There
were also increasing evidence of an
early change to bad weather. May
rallied to 27.99 and July to 27.17,
or 48 to 49 points up from the low.
Market was quiet at noon with a
better feeling.
The market showed a rather
steady improvement during the aft
ernoon, although trading was not
very active. The market appeared
to be oversold, and Washington ad
vised that the.agricultural committee
favored a bill to allot $150,000,000
of money in the hands of the cus
todian of enemy-alien funds to buy
cotton for Germany and Austria!
This, together wit hthelegrams from
the Carolinas claiming that there
was a better demand for cotton
goods, with good sales at satisfactory
prices, caused rather good covering
by shorts. Prices rallied, earlier de
clnics were recovered and all old
crops made new highs. May 28.40, or
33 points net higher than Satur
day’s close.

CHICAGO (Monday), March 3.
Wheat trade was broader in volume,
and the undertone was steady to
day.
There was buying by some of th‘j
big locals against selling at Winni
peg in the way of back spreading
and as prices moved up shorts were
seared into coveting. Eastern longs
were marketing their wheat on the
way. Visible supply decreased 382,-
000 bushel and this inspired some
ouying. Liverpool failed to come as
strong as expected but this failed
to lessen the enthusiasm of bulls.
Buyers believed that President
Coolidge will make his proclamation
increasing the tariff on xvheat in
a. day or - two and this, together with
bad reports from the soft wheat belt,
had a stimulating effect upon bul
lish enthusiasm. Foreign statistics
were bearish but the belief that
wheat is on a domestic basis caused
the trade to ignore these figures.
Wheat closed l-4c to l-2c higher.

The tone of the corn market was
easy. There was pressure at the
start from locals, but the strength
in wheat caused others'to lendtheir
support. The increase of 3,652,000
bushels in the visible supply exerted
a depressing influence later in the
day. Number four grades of cash

FDR SOUTH ISSUED
BFCMESS CHIEFS
WASHINGTON, March I.—A
warning to southern farmers that
"creation of an enormous cotton
> acreage this spring would establish
a foundation for further deflation of
cotton values.” was issued today fol
lowing a meeting of senators and
congressmen from cotton-growing
states. Senator Smith, Democrat,
South Carolina, presided.
"As representatives of the cotton
states,” the statement said, "we feel
impelled to issue this note of warn
ing to the cotton-growing industry
and in behalf of the welfare of the
growers, upon whose success and
prosperity depend the progress and
full development of one-third of the
American nation.”
Announcing that definite action
already has been inaugurated to in
vestigate the cotton report issued on
February 1, the conference declared
the value of cotton had ‘‘suffered a
severe and drastic relapse” as a re
sult of that estimate, and assured
cotton farmers of their united aid in
the enactment of “sound federal leg
islation to alleviate existing condi
tions.”
"In the face of constantly dimin
ishing supplies,” the statement con
tinued, “of increased exports and
heavy domestic consumption, a buy
ers' panic has been created in the
cotton goods trade ias a result of
recent declines in the price of the
raw product.
Price Below Cost
“The present price of spot cotton
in the local markets of the south
is below the estimated average cost
of production. Foreign and domes
tic mills consuming American cotton
have by agreement or industrial ac
tion begun widespread curtailment
by operating their spindles on half
time or four days a week. The de
mand for cotton staple fabrics by
retail merchants is being limited to
immediate needs, according to re
ports of the jobbing and wholesale
trade.
“In addition to the above, repre
sentations are being spread broad
cast through the press and other
sources of publicity that the cotton
acreage for 1924 will be largely in
creased over the acreage planted in
1923, not only in the United States,
but in many foreign countries. An
increased cotton acreage under the
existing drastic decline in the price
of raw cotton and pessimistic dry
goods trade is a matter which should
command the serious attention of
cotton growers in the southern
states before it is too late to correct
an economic error.
“As representatives of the cotton
states in congress, we feel impelled
to issue this note of warning to the
cottpn-growing industry and in be
half of the welfare of the growers,
upon whose success and prosperity
depend the progress and financial
development of one-third of the na
tion. We view with deepest concern
the continued depression in market
values of staple farm products, the
increasing burdens of debt on Amer
ican farmers and the widespread
exodus of farm labor from the field
to industrial centers. The fullest
support of southern senators and
congressmen during this period, of
agricultural depression can be de
pended upon to advocate the speedy
enactment of sound federal legisla
tion that will tend to alleviate ex
isting conditionsand rehabilitate the
agricultural industry.

WIN NOTHING BUT
TEXT MODIFICATION
(Continued from Page I)
Wheeler, Montana, Democrats.
LaFollette nominated Brookhart.
Resolution Changed
Before adoption of the resolution,
its preambles, objected to by several
Republicans, were eliminated by
Senator Wheeler. The preambles had
charged failure of the attorney gen
eral to act in federal trade commis
sion. the oil lease and anti-trust
cases, but Senator Robinson and
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
pointed out that the resolution’s text
was broader than the preambles,
which might constrict the inquiry.
The resolution was further modi
fied, upon motion of Senator Willis,
of Ohio, a defender of Mr. Daugh
erty, by insertion of the word “al
leged” before recitals of alleged in
action and “neglect and failure.”
Senator Wheeler assented to the
change.
Fires of personal acrimony which
flamed yesterday, appeared to be
somewhat burned out today and the
debate, largely an attack upon Sen
ator Fess. Republican, Ohio, for a
speech criticising the senate and de
fending Mr. Daugherty, was com
paratively mild.
Faced by the combined voting
strength of the Democrats and Re
publican insurgents, almost at the
tap of the gavel today Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, the Repub
lican leader, withdrew his amend
ment proving for selection of the
committee by Senator Cummins, Re
publican, lowa, the president, pro
tern. This forecast the election of
the coalition slate headed by Senator
Brookhart.
Fess is Target
In nominating Senator Brookhart,
Senator LaFollette, in impassioned
words, scored “machine manipula
tion” and “secret caucus” methods.
These he declared, had resulted in
caucus selections of senate commit
tees. There were many precedents
for election of committees, he de
clared. adding that it was the proper
method.
Senator Fess was an almost con
tinuous targe* for Democratic at
tacks after he had criticised senators
in a speech for the record made
since the oil investigation develop
ed. He charged the senate “hys
teria” and, on the resolution calling
for the resignation of Secretary Den
by, with “usurpation” of power,
adding that the “record of the sen
ate for the past two months has been
a crying shame.”
In vehement fashion, Senator Fess
was scored by Senators Robinson,
Caraway, Democrats, Arkansas; Hef
lin. Democrat, Alabama; McKellar,
Democrat, Tennessee, and others.
With bitter sarcasm and pointed at
tack, they bombarded the Ohio sen
ator, emphasizing that he and Sena
tor Willis, his the
only Republicans who had risen in
defense of Mr. Daugherty. No re
ply was made by Senator Fess to
the verbal onslaught and no senator
offered him any support.
Brief reference was made in the
debate to the disclosures relating to
the use of a one-time department of
justice secret code., in messages to
employes of Edward B. McLean.
Washington publisher, in the oil
scandal. Senator Caraway declared
that Mr. Daugherty was involved in
the use of the code “by criminals in
Florida to communicate with crim
inals in. the department of justice.”
Senator McKellar also read news
paper reports that Mr. McLean was
on the secret service rolls at a
year. _
Daniels Not in Race
For Nomination, Says
Telegram to Georgians
RALEIGH, N. C., March I.—Jose
phus Daniels, former secretary of
the navy, today telegraphed friends
in Georgia, who had requested to be
allowed to place his name in the con
test for Democratic presidential nom
ination in the primaries that
state, not to enter him in the pri
mary, according to special dispatches
received here tonight by the Raleigh
News and Observer from Washing
ton, where Mr. Daniels is at present.
Mr. Daniels’ telegrams, which, the
dispatch said, were addressed to a
number of prominent Democrats in
Georgia, were in answer to tele
graphic requests from the Georgians
that they be allowed to enter his
name in the primary before the
closing date, next Monday. He ex
pressed appreciation, of their sup
port, but asked that no steps be
taken to place his name before the
people as a candidate for president.
At the same time Mr. Daniels, ac
cording to the dispatch, expressed
himself as practically sure of a
Democratic victory this year, and in
a statement declared that the Demo
crats should write a progressive plat
form and if he had a chance to write
it he would incorporate two planks,
“Thou shalt not steal” and “Thou
shalt not kill.”
He explained the first plank by
adding that stealing should be out
lawed “either directly or by graft or
by stupidity” and the second by de
claring that not to kill would mean
that “America must take the place
offered to it in 1919 to lead the world
to permanent peace.”

FLORIDA MESSAGES
ARE FOUND WRITTEN
IN SECRET U. S. CODE
(Continued from Page 1)
Harry F. Sinclair, J. W. Zevely,
Robert Stewart, of the Standard Oil
company, of Indiana, and 11. M.
Blackmer, of the Midwest Oil com
pany.
The subpoenaes call for such mes
sages between January 1, 1921, three
months before Fall became a mem
ber of the cabinet, down to the pres
ent time. While, ordinarily, records
are kept by the telegraph offices for
only one year, the committee has in
formation that the Three Rivers of
fice has the messages for the entire
period from January 1, .1921.
Dragnet Extended
With the issuing of these sub
poenas, the committee’s dragnet for
telegrams exchanged between the
more important personages whose
names have been brought into the
( oil scandal covers a. wide field. ■
But the investigators probably
never will get trace of hundreds of
messages that it desired particu
larly—those that passed over the
private wire McLean had installed
to Palm Beach at the time his rep
resentatives were seeking to keep
him off the witness stand.
Major told the committee today
that he personally had destroyed
the copies of those sent from Wash
ington. and that the copies received
at Palm Beach also had been de
stroyed. It was the practice to de
stroy them each night, he testified,
adding that there was nothing
strange in this, as they were flri
vate messages relating to McLean's
business.
Senators said the telegrams fur
nished today by the Western Union
company contained nothing “sen
sational” unless it be that matters
of that character will be disclosed
by the deciphering of the code tele
grams. They added, however, that
some of the telegrams had served
to fill gaps loft by some of the mes
sages previously read into the rec
ord.
Scores of additional telegrams
from the Washington offices of the
Western Union and Postal com
panies are looked for by the commit
tee when the search of the files of
those offices has been completed on
the basis of the new subpoenas call
ing for messages sent to or received
by Fall, Yjarry F. Sinclair, H. L.
Doheny, McLean and others from
December 1, 1923, to February. 28,
1924.
Records of a number of long-dis
tance telephone calls, made from
Washington to Fall and others, were
supplied today by C. T. Clagett. of
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele
phone company, but committeemen
said they showed no calls made to
these persons by any of the oil in
vestigators or administration offi
cials. ,
Man Walks Calmly
To Death From Ice
In Lake Michigan
• CHICAGO, March 2.—ln full view
of scores of pedestrians, an uniden
tified man deliberately walked across
the ice and to his death in Lake
Michigan Saturday.
The man, middle aged, poorly
dressed and apparently despondent,
detached himself from a group of
persons strolling along the lake front
and started across the ice. His
hands were thrust deep in the pock-
I ets of a threadbare coat. His head
i was bent forward, as though in deep
meditation. Paying no heed to the
cries of warning of the horrified
spectators, the man walked on. A
policeman ran to the scene, but fear
ed to follow, as the ice cracked om
inously under his weight. The po
liceman blew his whistle and yelled,
but, maintaining his slow, deliberate
I gait, without a lift .of the head, the
man covered the 200 feet to the line
of black marking the limit of the
lice field and sank from sight.

StEEPf IN CELL
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 29.
John Franklin, youthful prisoner in
the Pinellas county jail at Clear
water, was attacked last night by
Frank McDowell, held for killing
four members of his family .accord
ing to his statement to Sheriff Lind
sey today.
Franklin told the officii! that some
time during the night he awoke, to
find McDowell bending over him
with both hands on his throat, shout
ing that the jail was on tire. When
Franklin fought him off, McDowell
ran into the jail corridor and began
breaking glass bottles against th«
bar§, according to the boy. Two
other prisoners quieted McDowell
after a hard struggle, but, according
to 1 ranklin, there was no sleep for
the other prisoners during the bal
ance of the night.
“I think I have been punished
enough by being placed in a cell
.with this lad. without having to
stand trial for burglary,” Franklin
told the sheriff.
