NEW YORK, April 14,—The cot
tort market opened easy today at
a. decline of 15 to 45 points owing
to easier Riverpool cables, commis
sion house realizing and southern
selling. The census report showing
domestic consumption of 483,928
bales for -March compared with 624.-
264 last year was about in line w it It
expectations and attracted littie
comment, but the market was tim
settled after the opening with Mt',
declining to 30.40 and October io
25.10 or 57 to 74 points net lower. >
Private cables reported a quiet |
market in Liverpool with prices]
lower under realizing by recent buy-;
ers, but with a moderate spot de- j
mand.
The early decline was followed by
rallies of 20 to 25 points during the
forenoon on covering, but prices
eased off again under contitued
liquidation and selling by brokers
with southern and local connections.
Recent buyers seemed to have been
somewhat disappointed by the action
of the goods market dining the past
few- days, and this may have account
ed for part of the. selling. May de
clined to 30.37. and July to 28.8 c,
making net losses of 77 to 80 points
on old crop positions. The general
market was abot. to 78 points net
lower around mid-day.
The break extended to 30.07 for
May in the early afternoon or 107
points net lower and October sold
off to 25.10 or 57 points net lower.
Offerings tapered off at these fig
ures and trading was quiet around
2 o’clock with prices showing rallies
of 8 or 10 points from the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, April 14. —The
cotton market opened lower in sym
pathy with poor cables from Liver
pool and first trades showed losses
from Saturday’s close of 25 to 31
points. The census bureau’s report
on March consumption showing
483,928 bales was construed as bear
ish and the market consequently
eased off rapidly under pressure of
liquidation until May traded as low
as 30.55 and July at 28.70, or 71
close. October declined to 24.49, or
46 points net lower. New cron
months were supported by a bad
weather map.
The market ruled somewhat stead
ier after the early decline and old
Crop months- recovered about 20
points, while new crop months
gained one to two points over the
early high. Most of the news was
constructive, particularly a good de
mand for spots from domestic mills.
The market turned weak near noon
and Saturday’s close due to active
selling by Wall street on the bearish
consumption figures. July traded at I
28.52 or 94 points net lower. New
crop months were relatively steady. i
'October being only 48 points down.
The market continued to ease off
during the early afternoon. May
finally trading as low as 30.07, or
119 points below the previous close.
July ruled comparatively steady
around the low reached just before
*• noon at 28.52, or 94 down from Sat
urday’s close. October traded down ;
to 24.40 or 55 points net lower than !
the previous dose. The market
then became steadier. May recover
ing 23 points and other months
about 10 points and then fluctuated
aimlessly within a very narrow
range. 'l’he morning's Recline was
attributed solely to weakness in
stocks.

CHICAGO (MOnday), Ap-il 14. (
There was little action to the wheat j
market today. Undertone was easy I
most of the time, but there were in
tervals of rising prices. The market
failed to respond to the higher cables
at the start, but a minute or two
after the opening there was a bulge
as the result of commission house
buying. After the bulge gave way
under commission house selling j
trade dwindled to small proportions.
Only feature of the later trading was
the selling of May and buying of
July at 1 7-8 difference by a big ele
vator interest. Seaboard reported
25,000 bushels of gulf hard winters
worked for export late Saturday.
Strength in Liverpool was due to
buying of plate cargoes off coast hy
France. Milling demand was quiet. I
Advices from Mackinaw City say j
that ice center of the strait:; is melt
ed and that fields on both ends are
thawing. Look for navigation to
open in a few days.
Wheat closed unchanged to 1-2
cent lower. May, 8.1.10 5-8 to
$1.01.3-4; July, $1.03.1-2 to $1,03 5-8;
September, $1,04 3-8 to $1,04 1-2; De
cember, $1.07 3-8.
Corn opened steady under a little
commission house buying, but local
pressure carried prices lower in the
later trading. Resting orders to buy
May at 77. cents were again con
spicuous. A slight improvement was
noted in the eastern demand for
corn, but trade was not large. Re
ceipts" were light.
Corn closed 3-8 to 1-2 cent lower.
Mai, 77 l-8c; July, 78 3-8 c; Septem
ber, 78c.
Oats were firm early, but. the mar
ket reacted with other grains.
’I here was some good commission
house buying of May credited to
short account. Commission house
longs had oats for sale on every 1-8
cent up. Provisions were firm on
buying' hy smaller packers.
Oats were unchanged to 1-4-cent
lower. May, 45 7-8 c: July, 4 1c; Sep

Lard closed unchanged ’io 2 1-2
cents higher. Ribs 5 to la cents

I
, SAVANNAH, Ga., April 12.—Sam
IJ. Slate, of Columbus, head of the
recently created state auditing de
partment. v. ho was here attending
the state convention of th T. P. A.,
gave to the Savannah Press a very
interesting interview on the present
financial condition of Georgia.
“The treasury is in better shape
i than in the immediate past years,”
said Mr. Slate. “The common
schools, for instance, have received
the 1923 appropriation of $4,500,000
in full, In 1923, during March, Gov
ernor Hardwick was compelled to
borrow $500,000 'o complete the 1922
I 1 appropriatmn for common schools.
Since January 1, 1924, the common
schools have received $3,711,000.
I completing the appropriation of $4.-
500,00(1. It has not been necessary
for Governor Walker to borrow any
money whatever to complete the ap
propriation. The governor has' now
availanle the $500.000 he is allowed
to borrow for emergency par poses
and he has also the money accruing
from the "special taxes, collectable
quarterly, and money is coming in
from the gasoline tax These taxes,
wi'h the temporary loan, will he suf
ticient to pay pensioners in full. Gov
ernor Walker lias worked very hard
to make the payment to the veterans
possible. In this work he has had
the hearty co-operation of W. J.
Speer, state treasurer, and William
A. Wright, comptroller, both Confed
erate veterans, who have assisted
the executive in every manner.
“The stat 6 departments are draw
ing their requisitions monthly now,
and all warrants drawn on the gov
ernor are itemized as required ny
the appropriation act passed during
the last session of the legislature
Governor Walker has prevented the
vithdt.awal of litnrip sums from the
treasury, thereby prohibiting it from
becoming bare at any lime. Wbiw
all departments are obtaining funds
which they are entitled to and which
are needed, under the terms of the
appropriation act, they must be paid
month, by month, which has proven
very satisfactory.”
Specifically discussing the reason
the treasury is in such commendable
shape, the auditor said that under
the new system of paying appropria
tions, the departments' draw jus’
what is needed each month and no
more, thereby making it impossible
for any department io be neglected:
whereas, under the old system when
appropriations were made in lump
sums for the year, there was much
grabbing from all sides, and. conse
quently, it was possible for some de
partments to go unpaid for a length
of lime.
Mr. Slate spoke very highly of the
member.-- of tlie auditing department.
In alluding Io his assistants, he de
clared they are most competent audi
tors, and accountants.
Modern Girl Good
As Her Mother, Says
Salvation Armv Head
CHICAGO, April 12. Modern
girls are as good as their
mothers and grandmothers, accord- I
ing to Commander Evangeline
Booth, of the Salvation Army, here
attending the central territorial con
ference of the army.
All they are doing is following
fashions’ dictates, as men and wom
en have done since the world be
gan, she said. Modesty, sh? declared,
is a matter of spirit, unaffected by
crinoline, hoop skirts or mutton
sleeves.
Speaking of women in politics,
Miss Booth said wives vote inde
pendently of their husbands, “just
as they eat and read, pray and
reason independently of them.”
Senator Couzens Goes
To Johns Hopkins for
Surgical Observation
WASHINGTON, April 14.—Sena
tor James Couzens. of Michigan,
who has been suffering from blad
der and intestinal troubles, was re
moved today to Johns Hopkins- hos
pital at Baltimore for further obser
vation.
Whether an early operation will
be performed will be decided by Dr.
Hugo .A. Freund, of Detroit, the
Couzens’ family physician, and Doc
tors Finney and Futcher, of Balti
more.
“Senator Couzens spent a very
comfortable night.” said a state
ment, issued from his office.
“The condition is undoubtedly a i
recurrence of an old gall bladder I
infection for which he was operated !
on throe years ago.”

MARYLAND EXECUTIVE SEES
NEW STRUGGLES IMPENDING
BY STATES TO REGAIN RIGHTS
Jefferson Day Address Made
in New York Warns
Against Encroachment of
Centralized Federal Power
NI'lW YORK, April 12.—The
American people are on the thres
hold of a great struggle of the states
to regain their lost rights and to re
tain their present ones against the
increasingly insistent encroachments
of centralized federal power, at va
rience with American policy. Gov
ernor Albert C. Ritchie, of Mary
land, declared tonight before the
Jefferson Day banquet of the Na
tional Democratic club.
The stuggle to keep American
ideals and to preserve American in
stitutions against latter-day misuses
and misinterpretations overshadow
ed all other issues, he said, since “no
high purpose, either at home or
abroad, ever has been or eaii be ac
complished by America. except
through those ideals and institu
tions.”
Governor Ritchie was one of the
principal speakers at the clubs ban
quet which is held annually on the
annivei’sary of the birth of Thomas
Jefferson, which this year is Sunday.
Other speakers who addressed the
diners in the Hotel Commodore were
Governor George S. Silzer, of New
Jersey; John W. Davis, former am
bassador to Great Britain, and J.
Bruce Kramer, national committee
man from Montana. Many Demo
cratic members of both houses of
congress were present.
Governor Ritchie, emphasizing the
strength of the institutions conceived
in the eighteenth century by the
American founders, pointed out. that
during the nineteenth century, which I
saw the United States at tain .ascend
ancy in manifold aspects of .its ■
national, life, and during which the j
country developed into the greatest
nation in the world, no amendment
was made to the constitution save j
the three which, followed the AA ar ,
Between the States.
Old Beliefs Retained
From 1804 until 4913, he said,
Americans retained the belief that
“that nation is best governed which
is least governed” and that its “na
tional unity and national harmony
were possible only so long as the na
tion kept within the limits of its do
main and left the states free within
the limits of theirs.”
Later, the governor went on, laws
were enacted and constitutional
amendments adopted “which one by
one ate eating into the very heart [
of the American nation because
they are breaking down the sov
ereignty of the American state and
substituting for that sacred thing
an incompetent, extravagant. un-
American control radiating from
Washington.”
The situation has arisen, he con
tinued, partially because it was pos
sible for the majorities in the legis
latures of thirty-six states to impose
their will on the nation. The vote
of 2,316 members of these bodies, ,
he .said, could write into the consti
tution any amendment they choose I
to ratify without any appeal to the I
people for that action.
And these legislators, with rare i
exceptions, he said, were “harassed I
Jbv the throats and blandishments of
organized minorities until their will i
and their sense of right crumple and j
fall helpless to the. ground.
“If 1 had my way, there is one!
constitutional amendment which i
should be adopted, and none other
should be considered until that be-|
came part of our organic law. It is
an amendment which would provide
that no further amendments to the i
constitution should be made unless i
each state is given the right to a |
referendum to the people upon the. |
action of its legislature in ratifying
any proposed amendment.”
The federal government, he main
tained. has i surped powers right- j
fully belonging to the states and
susceptible to better, more efficient
and more economical administration I
by them and has invaded the pock
etbooks of the taxpayers.
A message of regret was received
from Franklin D. Roosevelt, Demo
cratic candidate for the vice presi |
dency at the last election.
Roosevelt’s Telegram
Telegraphing front Long Ke;>, |
Fla., he assured the club “I have!
not seen nor associated with Messrs.
Daugherty, Slernp or Ned McLean, I
but have confined my social visits ]
to William Jennings Bryan, and j
Willie IL Kelly and Norman Mack.” j
Since the Civil war, said Mr. !
Roosevelt’s message, the Democratic
administrations had been untouched
hy governmental scandal, while the |
Republican ones of Johnson. Grant.
Hayes, Arthur, McKinley and Taft |
had’been so marred.
In an address bristling with refer-;
ences to the recent disclosures at
Washington, Governor Silzer, of ;
New Jersey, called the G. O. V. the,
party of “graft, oil and politics.” I
He sa'" the thinking citizens of I
the nation had their minds fixed on
two things: Tax reduction and a i
house cleaning, and that they were
ready to discard a government by !
"best minds” for a government by
"honest minds.”
Democracy, he asserted, must
dedicate itself to “the task of re
storing government to the hands of i
the honest people of this country, i
for it is clear that those who are ;
profiting at the expense of others, '
who are enjo.ving special privileges. I
who are being over-protected, who |
are grafting upon the country, are
perfectly content with the present i
administration.”
“No one objects to big business ;
and lots of it," said Governor Sil i
zer. “We do. however, object to |
crooked business which teaches ■
erooked hands into almost everv de- |
j partment of the national govern-
I inent ”
J. Bruce Kramer, Democratic na-
I tional coininitteenian from Montana,
I attacked the Republican party as
I the party of privilege and corrup
tion and asserted the country was
! turning to the Democrats for a con
structive and clean administration.
“When the Democratic party is
returned to power,” Mr. Kramer said,
“it will repeal the Fordney-McCum-
Iwr law and substitute a tariff which
will reduce the cost of living; it will
reduce the internal revenue taxes
' to the lowest possible limit compati
ble with efficient and economical
considerations, it will cause the fed
eral reserve system to be operated
in the interest of the public; it will
restore foreign markets for the sur
plus products of the American farm
er; it. will enact a just measure for
tlio veterans of the World war; it
will rid Washington of corruption
and restore the government to the
people; it will establish a foreign
policy based on a world peace and
will awaken the conscience of the
nation with a revival of the ideal
ism of the great Wilson.”
Shnnes Heirs, Trained
By Father, Are Well
Fitted to Rule Fortune
lIbJRLIN, April 12.—(8y the As
sociated Press.) —Dr. Edmund Hugo
Stinnes, who. by the death of h’s
father, has become, at 28 years of
age, the monarch of one of the
world’s most gigantic industrial and
commercial empires, is described by
his associates as “a youth of engag
ing personality and winning urban
ity.”
lie served a rigorous technical
and commercial arpriuticeship under
his father’s unsparing tutelage and
subsequently was graduated from
the Charlottenburg Technical school
with the degree of doctor of engi
neering. lie enlisted Jis a volunteer
in the World war and advanced to
a lieutenancy in the aviation corps.
Young Stinnes was constantly at
his father’s side during the latter's
restless and manifold activities of
the last five years, at.d is possessed
of first-hand knowledge of the min
ing, smelting and industrial branches
of the Stinnes enterprises.
His brother, Hugo Hermann
Stinnes, a. year younger, and at
present director of the family’s ship
ping interests at Hamburg, also
served an extended apprenticeship
at home and abroad.
He is married and has two chil
dren.
Stinnes senior made a practice of
taking his grown-up sons and daugh
ters into his- confidence, appris'ng
them of important negotiations and
allowing them to go over his cori
traets, balance sheets and other doc
uments as part of their business
training.
For this the Stinnes family cir
cle has been described as “a board
of directors in constant session.”

IN OEM' CASE
’ No announcement was made Sat
urday, either by Chief Beavers or
his attorney, George C. Spence, as
to when an appeal will be. made to
the courts from the decision of the
police committee by which the chief
Was discharged.
Following an all-night session of
the trial, resulting in a unanimous
verdict to discharge the chief, ren
dered in the “wee sma’ hours” of
Saturday morning, members of th o
police committee were silent as to
who will he Chief Beavers’ success
or, and Acting Chief E. L. Jett con
tinued to discharge the duties of the
office.
Chairman Edward 11. Inman left
j Saturday for New York and is not
I expected to return until next week.
’ It is expected that a meeting of the
[ committee probably will be called on
; his return and that some decision
; probably will be reached as to the
next chief.
, Both Chief Beavers and Mr. Spence
have indicated that they will use
every available at law tn
invalidate the decision tn discharge
the chief and to reinstate him In the
office.
It is thought that the appeal, when
fihui, will take the form of acer-
I tiorari to the Fulton superior court,
■ but it is not expected that this will
be filed until the voluminous record
of the four-night trial has been com
pleted ;by the stenographers. It was
indicated, however, that some action
; might be taken early next week.
Chief Beavers was tried on four
I charges- preferred by Chairman In
