Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK. May s.—The cotton
market was easier during today's
early trading owing to relatively
•easy Liverpool cables and reports
of good weather in the south over
Sunday. The opening was steady
but first prices were 15 to 30 points
lower and active months soon showed
net losses of 30 to 45 points under
commission house liquidation and lo
cal and southern selling. May de
clined to 29.35 and October to 23.88,
in the early trading.
Private cables reported a very
quiet market in Liverpool with prices
easier under trade selling of near
months, but that the continent was
buying new crop deliveries.
The market turned steady after the
early offerings had been absorbed
and prices rallied 20 to 24 points
from the lowest. There was buying
of new crops against sales of cold
crop positions and covering by old
crop shorts, as well as considerable
Liverpool buying of early new crop
deliveries. The bulges were not fully
maintained and trading was compar
atively quiet towards midday, but
prices held steady around 29.36 for
March and 24.05 for October, or 15
to 34 points net lower.
The market remained quiet during
the early afternoon but ruled steadi
er, particularly in new crop posi
tions. October sold up to 24.27 on
covering or seven points net higher.
July held within six points of Sat
urday’s closing quotation. May was
slower to rally, ruling around 29.50
at 2 o’clock, or 20 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 's.—The
cottoil market opened easier in keep
ing with rather poor Liverpool ca
bles and continued good weather
over Sunday. First trades showed
losses of 19 to 22 points. The mar
ket continued to ease off after the
start until July traded as low as
27.05, October at 23.15 and Decem
ber at 22.96 or 44, 42 and 31 points,
respectively, under Saturday’s close.
The market then became steadier,
awaiting the posting of the weather
map. Sentiment was bearish, but the
disposition to §ell was held in check
by the premium of spots over fu
tures.
The market ruled rather dur
ing the morning but the undertone
Was better and prices scored a grad
ual improvement, July trading up to
27.33; October, 23.43 and December,
23.18, or 22 to 28 points up from the
early low. The rally was attributed
Io the strength of spots, reports of
Jxtensive replanting necessary ow
ing to the recent cold weather and
ihe indications the vote in the Ger
man elections will favor the accept
ance of the Dawes report. The July
position seemed to cause uneasiness
imong shorts.
The market developed a little more
animation later in the morning
which continued into the early after
noon. Prices fluctuated within a
narrow range by the trend was up
ward and all active months made
new highs with July at 27.42, Octo
ber 23.55 and December 23.27, or 31
to 40 points up from the early low.
At these levels, December equalled
the previous close and the other
months were only 2 to 7 points be
low Saturday’s finals. The main
stimulating influence was the many
reports of' replanting on a large
scale.

THE AIL.i.nIA iU. W..ih«»L,V Jt/LHNAI/
GRAIN
CHICAGO (Monday), May 5. j
Wheat acted strong for a time to j
day but shortly before mid-day the i
market acted as if it were in need
of support.
The early strength was attributed
to the fact that the northwest bank
ing situation had been stabilized to
offset the effect of the St. Paul fail
ure Saturday and the German elec
tions favoring plan of I
reparation settlement.
it was also suggested that with
Winnipeg closed exporters will have
to take off hedges in this market to
day. About mid-day a little long
wheat was offered for sale and when
the market acted groggy after this
selling, locals unloaded long wheat
and prices lost almost all of the
early gain. A fair milling demand
was noted. Export trade was quiet
witli bids out of line. Liverpool
weakness was attributed to the big
worlds shipments and the increase
of 4,000,000 bushels of supplies on
passage. Visible supply decreased 1,-
320,000 bushels.
Wheat closed l-4c to 3-8 c higher.
May, $1.04 to $1.04 1-8: July, $1.06 3-8
to 41-06 1-2; September, $1.07 1-4; De
cember, $1.09 3-4.
Trade in corn was light and prices
followed the trend of wheat. May
was a little firmer relatively be
cause of the light deliveries, only
15,000 bushels. Cash corn basis was
unchanged to 1-4 easier. Shipping de
mand was light. Visible supply de
creased 1,729,000 bushels last week.
Corn closed 3-8 c higher to 1-Sc
lower. May, 78c; July, 78 l-2c; Sep
tember, 78 l-4c.
Oats were dull and easy in tone.
Trade was without feature. Visible
supply decreased 1,093,000 bushels.
Oats were l-8c higher to l-8c low
er. May, 46 5-Sc; July, 44 l-8c; Sep
tember, 40 l-Bc.
Provisions were dull. Only a little
trade in lard, and prices were easy
because of lower hogs and slower
export trade.
Lard closed 5c lower, and ribs and
bellies, 2 l-2c lower.
Local cash sales were 38,000 bush
els of wheat, 33,00 bushels of corn
and 83,000 bushels of oats.
The Seaboard reported a few lots
of corn taken for export.

PROTEST IS MSOE
OF PROPOSED COTS
OF PEANUT RATES
Atlanta Journal New* Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
RY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 3.
Ou behalf of the peanut, growers of
the state, Senator Walter F. George
carried to the interstate commerce
commission Saturday afternoon a
protest against the application of
Agent R. H. Countiss for a reduction
of 25 cents per hundred pounds in
freight on imported peanuts moving
from western ports 'eastward, to be
effective May 15.
It is pointed out that if the rate
is adopted, and no corresponding re
duction is granted on domestic pea
nuts going to the same points, it
will mean a serious handicap to the
American peanut grower, and greatly
hinder the development of the pea
nut as a permanent cash crop for
the American farmer.
The Georgia Peanut Growers’ Co
operative association has filed a vig
orous protest against the rate re
duction.
It is said t'. at the peanut growers
of America ate endeavoring to sup*
ply the demand for peanuts at a
price which will be low enough to
encourage the increasing consump
tion of this product, and at the same
time net the producer a reasonable
profit, but that since the publication
of the proposed reduction in rates,
many growers are changing their
plans and substituting other crops
for peanuts.
The association states that, even
with the present rates, it has been
difficult for the domestic grower to
meet foreign competition. The pro
posed reduction, amounting to $5 per
ton, is more than the average profit
the peanut grower receives on a ton
of peanuts, it is noted.
Shaft Marks Spot
Where French Explorer
Planted Rag in 1562
MAYPORT. Fla., May 2.—On ap
proximately the same spot where 362
years ago Jean Ribaut, French ex
plorer and navigator, planted a
granite' shaft on the south shore of
the St. Johns river here, claiming
the land for Charles IX, of Fiance,
and for Protestantism, a replica of
the monument was unveiled Thurs
day’ afternoon.
The event was accompanied by im
pressive ceremonies. Representatives
of the Huguenot-Walloon Tercente
nary commission, of which celebration
the unveiling was the opening exer
cise, of the French government, the
Protestant church, and the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution at
tended. The unveiling was under the
auspices of the Florida chapter of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution.
The monument was unveiled by
Colonel W. Gaspard de Coligny, of
New Orleans, a lineal descendant of
the Admiral de Coligny, of France,
who sent out the Ribaut expedition.
The principal dedicatory address was
delivered by the Rev. Charles S. Mc-
Farland, chairman of the executive
committee, of the Huguenot-Walloon
Tercentenary commission, and secre
tary of the. Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America.- He
appealed to America to make
stronger those ties that bound this
country to France and other Old
World nations.
Greetings from the French gov
ernment were extended by M. de
Simonin, French consul in New O'-
leans. Excerpts from Jean Ribaut’s
original journal describing his land
ing were read.
Dr. John Baer Stoudt, director of
the Tercentenary commission, in his
address, pictured the landing of the
band under Ribaut. He officially
opened .the Tercentenary Walloon-
Huguenot celehrat ion.

! MYSTERY OF SUDDEN ENDING
OF RELATIONS WITH HOUSE
NEVER CLEARED BY WILSON
Eight Years of Close, Unique
Friendship Were Brought
to End at Peace Meeting
in Paris
RY DAVID LAWRENC E
(Cop.vriubt, 1924. by the George El. Doran
company in the United Stales, Canada. South
America. World publication rights reserved
by Current News Features, Incorporated.)
CHAPTER XXIX
THERE was never a break be
tween Colonel House and
President Wilson. Strictly
speaking, it was a coolness and a
separation—in contrast xvith the
warm friendship and intimacy of
nearly eight years. After leaving the
White House Woodrow Wilson never
saw Colonel House again.
Like all great men, Mr. Wilson
had certain weaknesses and one was
a peculiar susceptibility to what
traditionally is knNvvn as “court gos
sip’’ and what, in the parlance of
an American democracy, is some
times defined as ‘‘tattle.” Prejudices
were conveyed to him by those who
tried to sway his judgment and Mr.
Wilson unconsciously absorbed
those prejudices and dropped many
of his friends without even giving
them an opportunity to present their
side of a controversy.
The experience of President Wil
son with Colonel House is probably
unprecedented in all history. It has
about it an air of mystery as well
as tragedy. No man ever served an
other with the same zeal and with
the same indifference to reward as
did Colonel E. .M. House. His dis
charge from the president's confi
dence occurred in Paris. It was as
much a shock to Colonel House him
self as it was to all who had fol
lowed the Damon and Pythias rela
tionship whicli'had sprung up be
tween the two men.
House Is Envied
Colonel House occupied a position
so extraordinary and yet so influ
ential with the president that he
was the object of much envy. He had
gone to Europe in advance of the
president and had been dealing with
allied statesmen so long that he felt
he knew their maneuvers and could
guide the president in handling
them. When Mr. Wilson reached
Paris he found Colonel House in
close contact with the entire situa
tion. The allied statesmen continued
to deal with the colonel in the hope
that he might influence President
Wilson. Instead of occupying, there
fore, a position subordinate to the
president, he really became an in
termediary between the president, on
the one hand, and the allied states
men on the other. The headquar
ters of the American peace commis
sion were at the Hotel Crillon
where Colonel House held forth.
The other members of the peace
mission saw him occasionally, but
for the most part there were n?
meetings of the entire peace delega
tion at which any action was taken
except to ratify conclusions already
reached in conferences either by the
president or Colonel House.
Relatives of Colonel House were
attached to his staff. The unique
position of the colonel developed the
usual antipathy so that among the
Americans in and about the Ameri
can peace mission there werfe two
groups—those who were anti-House
awd those who were for him. Those
who opposed did not hesitate to
spread the word which eventually
reached the president that Colonel
House had set up a sort of counter
establishment at the Hotel Crillon.
One day the president happened in
at the Crillon to see Colonel House,
who talked with' him a few minutes
and excused himself in order ©> re
ceive Premier Clemenceau. Inci
dents of this kind were not lost upon
those who sought to give the im
pression that tiie colonel was trying
to lord it over his chief.
.Mrs. Wilson Questions House
Newspaper articles began to ap
pear, telling that the real power in
the American peace delegation was
Colonel House. Some of tin se stories
caught the eye of Mrs. Wilson, who
did not fail to take a deep interest in
everything that affected her hus
band, and particularly those things
in which she deemed that Mr. Wil
son's interests were being subordi
nated. One day the colonel went to
the house where the president and
Mrs. Wilson lived during the peace
conference. As was his custom the
colonel stopped to chat for a few
moments with Mrs. Wilson. Tl]e
colonel was in high spirits, feeling
that the peace conference was pro
ceeding to a successful conclusion
He was particularly jubilant that
day because of the apparent conver
sion of an influential section of the
British press to the support of Mr.
Wilson. The colonel told Mrs. Wil
son that one of the most prominent
London editors had become so im
pressed with the American viewpoint
that he could count on effective edi
torial aid from that quarter. The
colonel remarked that his sole object
was to help make the whole negotia
tion a success to that it would re
dound to the credit of his chief,
Woodrow Wilson.
At this point Mrs. Wilson drew
forth a clipping from the London
newspaper in question and pointed
to an article of laudatory character
which gave Colonel House the credit
for the many things accomplished in
the American peace mission, and
which pointed out that if Mr. Wil
son would let the colonel alone there
would be an earlier agreement and a
much better feeling al l around.
Mrs. Wilson asked Colonel House
for an explanation of that article
which had appeared in a newspaper
edited by his friend. Her inquiry nir
ferrod he had inspired the article,
the inference being that he had ex
ploited himself instead of the presi
dent. The colonel is not given to
outbursts of indignation, but took
the accusation quietly. Just then
the president, asked for the colonel
and their conference began.
After that episode the Colonel did
not return to the Wilson home but
conducted all his conferences with
the president at the Hotel Crillon.
i Gossip had it that he never ex
plained the newspaper article to Mrs.
Wilson. Nor was there anything to
explain. He was not responsible for
the speculative comments of the
newspapers. The Colonel was cut to
the quick by the coolness which Mrs.
Wilson had shown and which the
president himself developed immedi
ately afterward. Insle the Ameri
can peace mission it became known
that there had been a separation.
The relations between the president
and Colonel House were formal
thereafter. They were simply those
conferences which official business
required. Itndoubtediy the president
absorbed Mrs. Wilson's viexvpoint
which, together with the attacks
that had been made on Colonel
House for his alleged compromises,
served to end the warmth of the
relationship between these two
statesmen.
Adviser Cast Off
There is another phase of the epi
sode which played an important part.
Colonel House was naturally of a
conciliatory He was al
ways trying to keep the allied states
men in good humor and while he
had no power to commit the Ameri
can peace mission to concessions he
was trying constantly to bring about
an early peace and a series of agree
ments which would make all the
powers feel more kindly toward the
‘ treaty itself as well as the League
lof Nations. His policy may have
; been a. mistaken one, his concessiohs
may have .been too numerous, but
■ certain it is they did not commit Mr.
i Wilson to any acceptance of the sug
gestions the Colonel was making.
Mr, Wilson was warned shortly
after he arrived in Paris that Colo
nel House had made arrangements
with the various allied statesmen
which would make it difficult for the
president to make peace. The criti
; eism came in ihe form of a letter
from a prominent New York editor
who had been in Paris, an editor
whom Mr. Wilson held in high es
teem. Thus the campaign against
Colonel House began almost imme
diately after the armistice. It suc
ceeded in the early spring of the fol
lowing year. The man who for so
; many years had worked tirelessly and
; without compensation of any sort
; forth United States government
' was cast adrift by Mr. Wilson. The
i defenders of President Wilson in this
cot troversy will say no doubt that
the activities of Colonel House were
; deserving of the rebuke that they
i received. It was natural that the
l Colonel who had been given so much
! power should be the victim of his
i own efforts to please Woodrow Wil
s «on and at the same time make a
| practical peace. The documents in
I the records may prove that had
; President Wilson followed Colonel
House's advice he would have secur
( ed more prestige for the Versailles
I tteaty, but this will always be a moot
point because it involves the hypo
thetical and there were so many cir
cumstances interrelated in Paris that
no clear judgment as to the merits
of this particular phase of the con
troversy will ever be formed. For
Mr. Wilson carried tn his grave the
secret of his separation from Colo
nel House. Messages were exchang
ed of a courteous nature after the
president became an invalid but the
j old association was never re-establish
ed. Indeed at the funeral of Wood
row Wilson. Colonel House was not
even invited to sit in mourning in
I the home on “S street” where his
chieftain lay dead.
(Thursday’s chapter tells why Wil
son broke w«th Lansinir ami how the
government functioned without an
active president.)
McCray Begins Duties
As Clerk in Prison;
Friends Return Home
; Assigned to do work as a clerk in
I the library of ihe Federal peniten
tiary here for as long\is he shal'
remain serving his ten-year sentence
for fraudulent use of the mails,
Warren T. McCray, until Wednes
day governor of Indiana, Saturday
began his duties as prisoner 17746.
His friends from Indiana, who made
the trip with him from. Indianapolis
returned Friday night' and the for
mer executive is lost among the
I other nameless prisoners.
From the penitentiary came word
that McCray was philosophically re
signed to his fate and bearing him
self well.
To the Indianapolis newspaper
men who came down with him, the
former governor gave mess-ages to
be relayed to his successor, Emmett
F. Branch, requesting that Gover
nor Branch continue the McCrav
program for permanent highway
construction and educational im
provement in the state. The In
dianapolis newspapermen said that
McCray was of the opinion that h* 3
would be allowed to write a special
letter to Mr. Branch with sugges
tions regarding the future policy of
tile state government of Indiana.
Regarding the regular letters,
i three per week, allowed to be sent
out bv a prisoner, McCray said: “All
of my letters will be written to my
family.’’
