COTTON
A
NEW YORK. April 28. The cot
ton market opened weak today at a
decline of 36 to 62 points under realiz
ing or liquidation by buyers of last
week who were evidently influenced
by relatively easy cables,
the recent more favorable view of
crop prospects and continued reports
of poor demand for cotton goods.
Old crop positions sold 74 to 82
points n°t lower during the early
trading, May declining to 29.30. The
new crop showed net losses of 42 to
'47 points, October selling off to
24.000. Private cables attributed the
decline in Livperpool to freer offer
ings on more favorable weather ad
vices from the south and the rise in
foreign exchange.
Rallies of 20 or 30 points followed
the absorption of early, selling orders
but the market weakened again
later under a renewal of liquidation.
The tone was unsettled around mid
day. May, which had worked up
from the early decline to 29.62, sold
lack io 29.30 and held around 29.41
at midday when old crop months
showed net losses of 69 to 71 points.
A favorable view of weather condi
tions inspired scattered selling but
the new crop was relatively quiet
at net declines of 35 to 40 points. A
private report placed the acreage
at ,39,200,000 an increase of 4.8 per
cent, over the area picked last season.
The decline extended to 29.24 for
May and 23.90 for October the
early afternoon, making net losses
of 88 to 92 points on old crop posi
tions and of 57 to 58 points on later
deliveries. Offerings tapered off at
these figures and there were rallies
of 10 to 12 points on covering with ;
the market comparatively quiet
around 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, April 28. —The :
cotton market opened weak owing to
the poor Liverpool cables. First
trades showed losses of 37 to 47
points from Saturday’s close and
prices lost six to fifteen points addi
tional, soon after the opening, May
trading down to 29740? July to 27.45
and October to 23.47 or 43 to 57 points
below the previous close. Liverpool’s
weakness was attributed by cables
to liquidation of the May position.
An early break in the stock market
helped the easier tone after the open
ing. • The market showed signs of
better support at the end of the first
half hour of trading.
The market though comparatively
quiet, encountered a fair amount of
liquidation and some short selling
during the morning which force I
May down to 29.20, July 27.17 and
October 23.30 or 75 to 85 points lower
than the previous close on old crop
months and 60 down on Octobei.
Fain weather in the west, unfavor
able Liverpool ardvices and an easier

fluences. The weathei- forecast was
for cloudy and warmer, but no rain
was predicted.

20 points from the low levels of
the morning around the noon hour

sustaining incluence for a time but
the undertone was soft owing to
the easier stocks. The stock mar
ket was said to be influenced by a
statement by a member of the fed

was also disturbing. Old crop
months made fiew lows at 29.04 f>r
May and 27.10 for July or 91 to 92

MRS. EDITH WILSON SHAPED
DESTINIES OF UNITED STATES
SIX YEARS, SAYS HISTORIAN
First Break Witli Tumulty
and Eventual Loss of Pres
ident’s Friendship Laid to
Sinister Outside Influences
BY DAVAD LAWKENCE
(Copyright, 1921, by the George 11. Doran

America World publication rights reserved

cll a pteTT"xx VI
TIIR influence of Mrs. Edith
Wilson on the life of the presi
dent, beginning- as it did early
in 1915 and extending Io the hour
of his death, is one rtf those intimate
chapters which will never be ade
quately described by the historian.
Hers was a charm which affected
Woodrow Wilson at every turn of
his later career. Without seeking to
dominate, yet. guiding him jtlst as
surely as any advisor had in the
past, sympathizing, helping with the
details of his work, receiving his con
fidences, discussing problems of
state, testing friends for their loyal
ty and unselfishness—in short, play
ing the confidante in away that
completely absorbed Mr. 'Wilson —•
there stood at his side through the
critical 5 years of his life a woman
who it may truly he said shaped the
destinies of the United States gov
ernment for nearly six years.
Like every woman she had her
likes and dislikes. Some of those
who in mteceding years were fre
quent callers did not come as often
to the White House when she be
came its mistress. Those who sought
to roach the-president on the other
hand, knew that to reach Mrs. Wil
son first was frequently of incalcula
ble aid. She moxed about without
ostentation, holding her place as
first lady in the land with all the
grace that befitted such a position.
The election of 1916 played an im
portant part in the development of
Mr. Wilson’s new life. He felt more
confident than ever of the support
of public opinion. He did not seek
now companions. He lived in the
comfortable seclusion and quiet of
the White House with his beloved
wife. He did not make a transcon
tinental campaign in the summer of
1916 such as that of his opponent,
Charles Evans Hughes, the Repub
lican nominee. He spent his summer
at Shadow Lawn, Long Branch, N.
J., making speeches every Saturday
to visiting delegations. Altogether
it was a season of recreation for the
president and Mrs. Wilson —not to
the exclusion of public business, of
course, but a happy' blend of work
and play.
Tumulty Near Dismissal
Just after the memorable 1916
election, when the doubts and anx
ieties about a .second term had been
removed for fill time, the beginning
of a new era in the White House
was apparent. Changes began to be
made in the personnel. The author
discloses one episode which has nev
er before been related but which
Illustrates how completely Mr. Wil
son had separated himself from his
previous life.
One day the president, in casual
conversation with Private Secretary
Tumulty, told the latter that he
believed he ought to resign the sec
retaryship and go in for a political
career in New Jersey as a member
of congress. For weeks preceding
this conversation there had been re
ports, published that Mr. Wilson had
offered Mr. Tumulty a post on the
board of appraisers in New York.
Secretary Tumulty was at a loss to
understand the origin of these ru
mors as to the place he was to oc
cupy in the second administration
He could not recall offending the
president in the slightest, but at
last Mr. Wilson revealed that the
published reports were true —be did
suggest resignation to his private
secretary.
The author learned of the incident
at noon on Sunday. November 19,
1916—and feeling sure there must
be some misunderstanding, sent a
note to the president requesting an
audience that afternoon and was re-

ceived in the green room almost Im
mediately.
■Woodrow IVilson never liked to
hear criticism yet he was one of
the tairest of men. Knowing him
for j ears as a. man who would not
render a judgment unfairly it he
knew the facts, the author sought
Mr. Wilson’s^reasons and found that
prejudice had been carried to him
with respect to his private secretary
which was unfortunate —a prejudice
based on a political cabal and upon
impressions which were wholly un
,jii'r to his private seerstary. For
three quarters of an hour we talked
—it was a dramatic conversation
only because the author felt that
in such a case vehemence was es
sential in order to impress Mr. Wil
son with the ingratitude that would
be his if he listened to the enemies
of his private secretary and gratified
their wishes. Nobody would under
stand, the author told th? president,
how one who had rendered as faith
ful service to him as had Secretary
Tumulty could be asked to retire,
know what had been accomplished
N->re of the newspaper men who
by Secretary Tumulty for Woodrow
Wilson would understand and the
old taunt of New Jersey days—in
gratitude—would arise once more.
Mr Wilson seemed to realize that
he had wounded his faithful friend
—the man who had fought his bat
tle? day and night—and he sent
word through the author to his pri
vate secretary not to be disturbed.
Break Four Years Later
As the critical days of 1917 ap
proached Mr. Wilson came more
and more to appreciate how valua
ble was the aid of his private secre
tary, and while Tumulty was un
doubtedly impulsive at times and
made mistakes, there is no question
that he was loyalty itself in his
service to Woodrow' Wilson. Font
years later the break did come and
undoubtedly the influences which
brought it about wa-re not far differ
ent from those which w'ere operat
ing in 1916.
The incident which separated
Woodrow' Wilson and his private sec
retary occurred after the breakdown
of the president and after his retire
ment from the White House. The
letter? in the record exchanged be
tween Woodrow Wilson and Joseph
P. Tumulty do not. explain the break.
They show clearly that Mr. Wilson
never gave his former private sec
retary the audience he sought for it
would have readily explained the mis
understanding.
Mr. Tumulty had, how'ever, written
a book which displeased some of the
inner circle and he had conveyed a
message to a banquet of Democrats
in New York which Mr. Wilson
claimed never to have written but
which was given orally to his former
private secretary just as were so
many verbal messages in the years
of their association. It was a harm
less communication, simply an ex
pression of the hope that the Demo
crats w'ould do their part in leading
the world to a. better understanding
between nations. There could be nc
possible objection to the message
even if Mr. Tumulty had phrased it
himself which he did not. Mr. Wil
son objected to the message because
it W'as construed by the newspapers
as a participation by him in the elec
tion of a candidate for 1924. but the
message w-as merely a pretext—the
anti-Tumulty influence won out and
the man Who stood by his chief for
so many years was never even grant
ed a. hearing—indeed there is noth
ing to show' that the subsequent mes
sages from him ever reached Wood
row Wilson.
In the last months of Mr. Wilson’s
life efforts were made to reunite the
two. Again influences hostile to Mr.
Tumulty prevented such a meeting.
What Mr. Wilson did do, however,
just a» few' months before died
was to write a letter to a friend stat
ing his opinion that the best man
to make the race in New Jersey on
the Democratic ticket for the United
Slates senatorship in 1921 would be
Joseph Patrick Tumulty. This letter
was to have been published in the
Saturday Evening I’ost and already
was in type when Mrs. Wilson assert
ed her legal rights to suppress the
document. The missive shows that
Mr. Wilson did not lose his high re
gard for the man who served him
eleven years an private secretary and
who deserves to be called by those
j words which Woodrow' Wilson used
with peculiar precision, namely, a
loyal friend.
(Thurrisay’s chapter tells why Wil-
I son asked America to enter the war
and his early moves for peace.)
Grand Juror Faints
During Testimony in
Tennessee Murder
LEBANON, Tenn., April 26.
Members of the Wilson county grand
jury investigating the murder of
Jack Buchanan, aged money lender,
were given a shock Friday after
noon when one of the jurors fainted
during the testimony of Dr. W. G.
Waters, brother-in-law of W. H.
Bettes, who died suddenly 'Wednes
day morning just before he was to
have been arrested on a formal
charge pf murder. It developed
later that the juror was subject
to fainting spells.
j Dr. Waters and Mrs. Bettes, Mr.
Bettes’ father and ihe Bettes chil
dren appeared early in tlie afternoon
before the grand jury. While it
could not be learned what questions
had been asked the witnesses, it
was said that nothing of importance
had developed. It was said that not
even the children showed the slight
! est nervousness during the question
j ing and that every question was an
■ swered promptly and frankly.
JOHN B. COOPER’S
BOOy IS REMOVED
TO LAWRENCEVILLE
MACON, Ga.. April 26. —The body
of Attorney John R. Cooper, widely
known Macon criminal lawyer, who
died suddenly yesterady afternoon
at the home of a. client in Crawford
county, from a, stroke of apoplexy,
left Macon at noon today for Law
renceville, Ga., where the funeral
will be held Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the home of his brother,
W. O. Cooper, Sr. The interment
will be in the family lot in Haynes
Creek cemetery, near Logansville,
Ga.. boyhood home of the deceased.
The Macon Bar association met
today and adopted resolutions de
ploring the death of Mr. Cooper.
An escort was appointed to attend
the funeral. This escort is com
posed of Ren J. Fowler, S. W. Hatch
er. E. W. Butler. R. G. Plunkett,
Allen Clements and W. A. McClel
ki n.
Judge R. C. Jordan, of the Macon
city court, ordered that a page on
the minutes of the city court be set
apart for a suitable memorial to the
deceased. A number of Macon peo
ple will attend the funeral Sunday.
Attorney Cooper was two times a
candidate for congress and once
for United States senator, being de
feated in each race. He died suddenly
late F-iday at the home of Richard
Hunnicutt, a client, in Crawford
county, where he had been ill since
Wednesday. He got out of bed Fri

he fell dead.
Mr. Cooper was 59 years of age.
He was born in Lawrenceville, Ga..
April 2, 1565, and began the practice
of law at the age of 25, immediately
after his graduation from the Uni
versity of Georgia.
The most noted criminal case
handled 1 y Mr. Cooper was the Raw
lins murder case from Lowndes
county, where the elder Rawlins
was hanged and his three sons were
given life terms in connetion with
the murder of the Carter childnpn.
Cooper did not give up the fight
until he had gained the fieedom of
the three sons, the last one being
released only last year.
Mr. Cooper carried fifteen capital
cases to the United States supreme
court and obtained written opinions
in seven of these cases from the
highest court, a record that is said
to be unequ tiled by a Georgia law
yer.
lie was unmarried. The surviving
members of his family are his five
brothers, Charloton Cooper, of At
lanta; Clarence C.'Cooper, New York
City; W. O. ooper, Lawrenceville;
.lames W. Cooper, Sandersville, and
J. P. Cooper, Gainesville; also one
sister. Miss Pearl Cooper, of Macon.
Mr. Cooper owned a large planta
tion in Coffee county, near Skipper
ton. and it was at this place that he
suffered the heart attack that caused
his death. Funeral arrangements
have not yet been announced.
Trousered Girl Sent
Back Into the States
By Mexican Officials
EL PASO. Tex., April 26.—Girls,
you can’t wear trousers in Mexico!
“You’ll be deported if you do.
At least Nancy Holmes was.
Miss Holmes, former Illinois and
California newspaper woman and
stenographer, was hiking after het
lover, lack Lightheart. Indian chief.
She left here March 28. Less than
a week later site was back. But not
by her own free will.
Officials at Chihuahua City h-ul
made her come. Her male attire,
you see, had shocked them so!
Na hey. however, isn’t discouraged.
She’s ready to start again just as
soon as governmental red tape will
permit.
Miss Holmes came here from
Bloomington, 111. It wasn’t long un
til she had fallen in love with Light
heart, Carlisle gradua’e.
She was twenty-live, and he was
fifty-two. Put the difference in their
ages meant nothing to them.
All went well until Lightheart,
who speaks English, Spanish. Chi
nese and several Indian dialects,
loaned some money to white
“friends” in Los Angeles. They
never paid him back. Jack got dis
gusted and qilit.
Nancy vows there was no trouble
between them. He’ll be forgiven for
skipping out when she finds him, the
girl insists.
The couple had intended living in
Central America. Lightheart prob
able is heading for there liow. Nancy
tbirks he is.
Surgeons Wait in Vain
For Interne to Famt m
Removig Own Tonsil
NORFOLK, Va ~ Am il 25. —Dr.
Benjamin F. Bailey, young interne
less than a year out of the Medical
College of A'irginia, startled veteran
practitioners at St. Vincent’s hos
pital Thursday by removing one of
his own tonsils. The operation was
performed with a set of borrowed
instruments before two mirrors set
up at right angles.
The operation was undertaken
against the advice of other physi
cians in the hospital. Dr. Allie D.
Morgan, throat specialist, after try
ing to prevail upon the interne not
to undertake the operation, retired
from the operating room, leaving
word to send for him and let him
finish the operation when the pa
tient fainted.
But the patient did not faint. Ap
plying a local anaesthetic, he pro
ceeded to remove the bothersome
tonsil. Witnesses asserted that the
operation was accomplished with the
flow of only two or three drops of
blood.
MJL S. DAIIRHFRTY
ORDERED ARRESTED;
CONTEMPT CUM
WASHINGTON, April 2G. —With-
out a roll call or debate, the senate
today adopted a resolution requiring
the arrest and presentation before it
of M. S. Daugherty, of Washington
Courthouse, Ohio, brother of the for
mer attorney general.
A warrant for the action was cer
tified and given to David S. Barry,
sergeant-at-arms, within an hour of
the vote, but after a conference be
tween the latter and Chairman Brook
hart, of the Daugherty investiga
tion committee, it was stated that no
attempt would be maije to take Mr.
Daugherty into custody before next
week.
In a report to the senate which he
presented with the resolution of a
citation, Chairman Brookhart for
the senate investigating committee
declared Mr. Daugherty to be in wil
ful atid deliberate contempt of the
senate, lie had failed on two occa
sions, the report pointed out, to obey
senate subpoenaes which sought to
get not only his own testimony as
a witness but also the records of fi
nancial transactions put through the
Midland National bank at Washing
ton Courthouse, Ohio, which the
committee considers important to its
inquiry.
Not one question was directed to
Cnairman Brookhart when he rose
to ask the senate vote, and although
a single objection would have suf
ficed under senate rules to hold the
resolution over for a day's consid
eration at least, the intervention was
not forthcoming.
Warrant Is Signed
Senator Cummins, Republican,
lowa, as president of the senate,
signed the warrant which directed
the sergeant-at-arms to “take into
custody the body of the said M. S.
Daugherty, wherever found,” to pro
duce him to “answer such questions
pertinent to the matter under in
quiry as the senate may direct,” and
“to keep the said M. S. Daugherty
in custody to wait the further order
of the senate.”
Precedents for the action, while
scanty, are not lacking. In the sen
ate sugar investigation several years
ago, Hallett Kilbourn refused to tes
tify and was imprisoned, but released
after a fight through the courts on
a writ of habeas corpus. Three other
instances of the arrest of recalcitrant
witnesses occurred between 1857 and
1868.
Mr. Dougherty’s contest with the
investigating committee already has
taken on a legal aspect, in that a
temporary restraining order was is
sued on April 11 from an Ohio state
court, seeking to prevent Chairman
Brookhart and Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, Montana, the committee
"prosecutor,” from endeavoring to
get the books of the Midland bank.
No attention has been paid by the
committee to the suit.
Text of Resolution
The text Os the resolution follows:
“Whereas, it appears that M. S.
Daugherty, as president of the Mid
land National bank was on March 22
duly served with a subpoena to ap
pear forthwith before the committee
in Washington and then and there
to testify relative to subject matters,
and to produce specified files, rec
ords and books pertinent to the mat
ter under inquiry: and was on April
11. duly served with a subpoena to
Easy Now to Rid Your
Chickens of Lice
Widely-Known Scientist Discovers
Mysterious Chemical That
Is Fatal to Lice
and Mites.
NOT A POISON
—Harmless to Stock —
Lice and mites are two of the most
dangerous and annoying things •with
winch the poultry raiser has to con
tend. Now through the discovery of
E. R. Alexander, widely known sci
entist, you can rid your chickens. lien
house, and nests of these pests almost
instantly and with no trouble at all.
This discovery is in the form of an
organic chemical that is fatal to lice,
mites, and similar pests.
I
This new discovery, which is called
ALEXANDER RID-O-LftJE, is not a
poison. Though it kills lice and mites
like magic, chickens, farm animals
and human beings are not affected
by it at all.
Rid-O-Lice is also a strong repellant.
Live and mites will not corne near
chickens or buildings when it has been
used. Rid-O-Lice is particularly val
uable for turkeys, ducks, and geese
as it is a known fact that lice do un
told harm to these birds.
So confident is E. R. Alexander that
his discovery will rid your chickens,
hen houses, and nests of these pests
that he offers to send a $3.00 com
plete outfit for only $1.25 and a few
cents extra for postage, collected on
