COTTON
NEW YORK. March 12.—There
xv s a further advance of six io
eleven points in the opening" cotton
market today. Active positions sold
15 to 17 points net higher after the
call on covering and commission
house buying. Reports of a better
spot demand were a factor on the
advance, but Liverpool cables were
rather lo ver than due and the mar
ket here met increased offerings
around 29.92 for May and 25.50 for
October. As a result, prices eased
off 25 or 30 points from the best dur
ing the early trading. New Orleans
and houses with other southern con
nections were among i he early sell
ers. There was realizzing by recent
buyers around the 29-eeiit level for
May delivery.
The early reactions to 28-70 for
May was followed by rallies, which
appeared to be chiefly influenced bv
the unfavorable weather outlook and
the firmer tone in the foreign ex
change market. .May sold up to
28.09, or 22 points net higher, but.
again met somewhat increased of
ferir gs above the 29 cent level and
prices we\e some 1-5 or 20 points off
from th j best around midday.
* May sold off in the afternoon to
28.50, or 37 points net lower, on re
ports of a continued poor trade in
cotton goods and small exports for
the day. Prices were within 4 to 5
points of the lowest around 2 o’clock
with the market unsettled.

NEW ORLEANSCOTTON
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.—The
cotton market opened at a small ad
vance over the previous close despite
poor Liverpool cables. First trades
showed gains of 0 to 16 points over
the previous close. The main stim
ulating influence was a further good
advance in French francs. There
was some further gain after the call,
May trading up to 29.15 and October
to 25.28, or 16 to 17 points.net high
er. Selling then developed on rather
disturbing British labor news and the
market declined 26 to 30 points from
the initial high. Weekly weather
reports delayed by wire trouble.
Small craft storm warning is posted
for Texas coast.
* After rallying some from the
early 10-w and making new highs on
May and July, the market became
quiet, fluctuating within a range of
about 15 points. The sustaining in-
> fluences were the better financial
news from France and England, and
- the return of very bad weather in
Texas. Rain was reported in the
southern part of that state, and
snow and sleet in the more north
erly portions. The weekly weather
report was still delayed by wire dif
ficulties, but fragments quoted from
New York, indicated it was general
ly bullish. The market at noon
showed no definite trende.
After ruling fairly steady with
moderate trading during the early
part of the afternoon, sustained by
the bad weather in the west, the
market weakened later. May fell
off to 28.55 and July to 27.62, or
42 to 43 points below the previous
\ close. October declined only to
24.86,’ or 26 points below yesterday’s
close. The first incentive to a re
newal of selling pressure was a fore
cast of February consumption of
only 488,000 bales by a prominent
southern authority. Later, early
buyers sold rather freely despite
the fact that the belated weekly
weather repor (proved fully as bull
ish as expect'.,l.

'Liquidation of wheat, by eastern
longs was a feature in the market
today. Prices were off sharply. The
start was steady but prices broke im
mediately under selling and lack of
support. An oversold condition
prompted some short covering but
nn the rally wheat came out and
prices broke badly, stop loss selling
forcing pricees along on their down
ward trend.
The depressing factor is the re
cent government, report on farm and
country mill and elevator stockis.
These figures show that there is only
8.000.000 bushels less wheat in this
country than a year ago. This sup
ply is regarded burdensome, in view
tis the poor outlook for any export
business the remainder of the sea
son. Seaboard reported some export
l business with northern Europe.
Wheat closed 2 1-2 to 2 3-4 lower.
Liquidation and stop loss selling was
general the last hour. .May closed
at $1.015 7-8 to $1,06 3-4; July, $1.07 1-4
to $1,07 1-2; September, $1,07 7-8 to
$1.07 3-4.
The break in wheat had a. depress
ing effect on corn. There was good
support in May around 88 1-2 cents.
The pressure appeared to be coming
from one of the leading local longs
who trimmed his line when the op
portunity presented itself. Num
ber four grades of cash corn sold at
1-2-cent wider discount. Shipping
demand was light. One of the re
ceiving houses reported buying some
corn at Omaha, to come here but aside
from this, indications were for light
receipts.
Corn closed 7-Sc to 1 l-8c lower.
May, 80c to 8 l-2c; July, SO 3-4 c; Sep
tember, 80 3-4 c.
Oats were weaker With > other
grains. Liquidatfon was in evi
dence. Sales of 200,00(1 bushels of
contract oats, were made to go to
store. i
Oats were V-Sc to lc lower; May,
46 l-4c; July, 45c to 44 7-Sc; Septem
ber, 41 l-4e.
Provisions were lower. The weak
ness in hogs, grain and cotton seed
oil were depressing factors. Smaller
packers sold.

'MAJOR CM STAND
AGAIN IN SENATE'S
OIL INVESTIGATION
(Continued from Page 1)
“t.h& party” probably was Senator
, Walsh.
VV ith Baruch, the witness went on,
I lie had “discussed Mr. McLean, and
| discussed you, sir. He spoke highly
i of you.”
“That’s not surprising,” Senator
I Walsh put in, ‘'he’s a friend of
I mine.” i
i “He said it was a damned shame,”
I Major continued, “t hat Ned McLean
I was mixed up in this thing for noth-
I ing.”
“What was he (Baruch) going to
I see me about?” Senator Walsh a>ked.
■ “Bid you know whether he did see
! me or not?”
i “I don’t think he did.” Major re
plied.
Major was asked what was meant
Iby ;t telegram from AleLc;;n asking
that he find out: “in careful manner
about matter 1 will talk to you about
over the telephone later.”
“That was an uncompleted mes
sage,” the witness said. “I didn’t
talk to him.”
Senator Walsh read a code message
to Major from McLean on the same
day which said. “This is a hypo
thetical question,” amt desired to
know whether banks keep a record
of indorsements on checks.
”1 answered that the bunk did not
keep a record of what a check was
drawn for,” Major said, adding that
lie did not. know why McLean asked
the question.
Denies Decoding Message
“Where did you go to decode this
telegram?” Senator Dill, Democrat,
Washington, asked after establishing
that the McLean query had been sent
in the department of justice code.
“1 didn’t decode it,” Major said.
“I imagine Mr. Duckstein decoded
it. He returned it to me decoded.”
Major explained that later he had
purchased a private code.- He said
that messages signed “John” were
his, and that when the telegrams
menliotied “Willis” they meant Wil
ton J. Lambert, Mr. McLean's at
torney. The publication of tele
grams containing this name recently
led Senator Willis, Republican, Ohio,
to issue a statement saying he had
no idea to whom the messages re
ferred.
“Willis said the party was in a
friendly mood and nothing more will
be requested from your end,” Mc-
Lean had been assured in one of the
messages.
“That’s you, sir,” Major said to
Senator Walsh when asked about
the identity of “the party.”
Asked who was meant in the tele
gram saying “Harry out of city,”
the witness answered:
“To the best of my knowledge, it’s
Mr. Daugherty. Mr. McLean and
Mr. Daugherty were very warm
friends.”
A moment later, under repeated
questioning, Major exclaimed:
“I want to be frank with you be
cause I want to get away from
here.”
He then demanded that a tele
gram sent by E. S. Rochester, of the
justice department, to McLean on
January 16, be read. This message
warned McLean the oil committee
was looking- irjto his bank accounts.
“Eyed” Was Rochester
The' code telegram sent to McLean
saying that “Eyed expects some
thing.” Major continued, referred to
Rochester.
“I think Eyed fn the code meant
Mr. Rochester,”- Major went on, “for
I saw him on tnat day. He told me
In substance what the telegram
said, and I put the message on the
private wire?’
Lhe code word for Rochester, he
explained, was a part of the depart
ment of ujstice cipher.
Pressed as to what it was he
thought Rochester “expected,” Ma
jor said it was to tell hint’ about
sending the telegram to McLean.
Senator Walsh pushed the exami
na t ion.
’’Rochester asked you to come to
the department of justice and see
him” he asked.
Yes, sir.”
“And you wired, then that he
(Ro'-hester) expects something?”
"Yes, sir. I imagined that Roch
estei- would tell me what he heal'd
about the inquiry.”
“Wlfat did you mean when you
told McLean that Rochester expects
something?”
Major then declared it meant that '
Rochester expected t 0 have some
thing to tell.
Slemp Was “the Party”
Another telegram, mentioning
“the party” as expecting Major to
see him. the witness said, referred
to C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
the president.
“Mr. Slemp asked me to come
and see him,” Major said.
“Was this a purely social call on
Mr. Slemp?"
“Absolutely. I wasn’t in Mr.
Slenip s office three minutes.”

Major expostulated that he'd
"seen at least five thousand people
sini'2 this thing began, and had told
McLean about it.”
i “I saw Mr. Slemp at the ’White
i House and at his apartment in the
i Short.’h im hotel,” Major said.
“Dili lie give you any message?”
j Senator Dili asked, •
“Yes, he did,” Major returned
"He 'old me to send Mr. and Mrs.
: McLean his best regards, and to
I say he only wished he could return
; to Florida because his trip did him
a world of good.”
i Senator Adams. Democrat, Colo-
i rado, fixed some dates.
Roehc.-ter wired McLean on Jan
uary 16 about the committee’s
search for bank accounts, it appear
ed. and had given Major lhe same
information January 18.
“So it. wasn’t news, when you
telegraphed it?” Senator Adams
asked.
| “It was to me.” Major" replied. "I
j didn’t know Rochester had wired it
I previously.”
1
Senator Walsh put in a telegram
mentioning "Willis” and "Lambert”
at the same time. Il was challenge
of the witness’ statement that his
term “Willis” meant Lambert.
“Have you any explanation to
make of this?” the senator asked.
“You want to know why 1 call
him Willis one time and Lambert
another?” Major asked.
“That’s part of it,” rejoined Sena
tor Walsh.
Declines to Explain
“There's no explanation,” the
i witness finally responded. There
: was a ripple of laughter and Ma
ijor added:
“Our telegrams show we haven’t
i been using ordinary language.”
He then began to explain that he
had got “a new code” into service,
because he “naturally wanted to
send some messages in code,” him
self, and couldn’t get the depart
ment of justice code.
“I never could get my hands on
that code book,” he said, "and I
didn’t want to be going all over
town looking for Buckstein when
ever I wanted to send a message.”
In one of his telegrams to Mc-
Lean, Major had indicated distrust
of Duckstein. but the witness said
he had told McLean later to disre
gard that niessage.
"How many of thesb codes did the
Post employes use?” 1 asked Sena
tor Dill.
“There were three being used. I
don’t know of any more,” Major
said. “I’ve destroyed the other code
Mr. McLean got back fi-om
t lorida and made up another which
will lie in use until March
McLean is ready to testify, he
added, and later he said ' the pub
lisher had been "eager to come."
“He's wired on 200 occasions that
he was coming here, no matter what
we all say,” Major said. “Mr. Mc-
Lean’s gone as far as he could for
a friend, and all for nothing.”
Major was excused, and the com
mittee adjourned until 10 a. m. to
morrow.
Although telegrams continue LP
come in from telegraph company
managers, the committee plans to
suspend further public investigation
of the “leads" embodied in them as
soon as it has completed the exami
nation of several more employes of
Edward B. McLean, publisher of the
Washington Post, and. probably to
morrow, McLean himself.
McLean has been here several
weeks under subpoenae, but his tes
timony has been put off pending de
velopment of evidence relating to ef
forts during December and January
to keep him off the stand. His ap
pearance, however, is not expected to
occupy more than one day’s session
of the hearing, and then the com-i
mittee intends to go into the reports
of auditors assigned to investigate
stock market transactions in oil
shares by officials and others promi
nent in public life just prior to» and
after the leasing of the naval re
serves.
Nearly Through \»ith Books I
The accountants have almost com
pleted their study of the books of
the brokerage houses selected for ex

has charge of this work for the com
mittee, has informed Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Montana, that Attorney
General Daugherty and Senator El
kins, Republican, West Virginia, are
the only officials found to have dealt
in Sinclair oil stocks. Both have is- |
sued statements declaring their deal-|
ings in these shares had no connec
tion with the Teapot Donie lease. j
In the meantifne Senator Walsh /
and other members of the commit
tee are lining up evidence in prepara
tion for the inquiry into the ques
tion of attempts by oil interests to
exert influence during'the Republic-
