Tri-Weekly Market Reports
cotton ~
NEW YORK, May 19.—The cotton
market was very quiet in today’s
early trading with prices lower un
der further commission house liquid
ation and local and southern selling
-which was attributed chiefly to the
better weather reports from the
south.
The opening was steady at a de
cline of six to 14 points. Active
months sold about 15 to 16 points
net lower in the early trading, May
declining to 30.63 and October to
24.81.
Liverpool cables were relatively
casv, private advices reporting a
quiet market and a poor spot de
mand there.
The early decline was cheeked by
a renewal of covering by bld crop
shorts and continued bullish spot ad
vices from the southwest. Prices
later rallied to 30.97 for May and
25.09 for October, making net ad
vances of S to 19 points but general
business remained quiet and the
market was a few points off from
the best around midday. Traders
appeared to be waiting for a better
line on end-May condition figures.
Trading was very quiet during
niidafternoon. but prices were steday
on further covering by July shorts
an da little buying inspired by pros
pects for cooler weather in parts of
the south. July sold at 28.85 and
October 25.23, the market ruling 20
to 34 points net higher around 2
o’clock.

New Orlean Cotton
NEW ORLEANS, May 19.—The
cotton market had a very tame open
ing with traders disposed to await
the vote on the bonus veto in the
senate, although it is generally be
lieved that the bill will be passed
over the veto. First trades shovyed
losses of six to nine points from feat'
urday’s close and prices eased oft
further until July traded at 28.10
and October at 24.04 or 13 to 17
points net lower. Private repot ts
claimed generally good weather over
Sunday and Liverpool was about as
due at the start of the American
markets.
Although the market ruled rather
quiet throughout the morning, prices
gradually improved on moderate
buying due to unfavorable crop re
ports from the eastern belt owing
to recent cool weather. An official
forecast for unsettled weather and
colder in Oklahoma and North Texas
and increasing cloudiness in the rest
of the western portion of the belt
was also a sustaining influence. July
traded up to 28.58 and October to
24.40 or 36 to 43 points up from the
early low and 23 to 26 points above
the previous close. Advancing ten
deucy held in check by fear of sen
ate vote on bonus.
Trading was rather narrow around
noon and in the early afternoon but
prices were sustained and even ad
vanced slightly on reports from
Washington to the effect that there
was some confidence that the sen
ate would sustain the president’s
veto of the bonus bill. July traded
up to 28.62 and October to 24.43, or
three to four points above the earlier
high and 26 to. 30 points above the
previous close. It was reported that
120 caroads of cotton were on the
Way here for delivery on May. Cer
tificated stock now 5,671 bales, 1,307
bales having been certificated Satur
day.

THE ATLANTA THI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
CHICAGO (Monday), May 19
; Wheat trade was slow today, but
what ihe market lacked in activity
iit made up for in strength. There
was nothing in the news that was
stimulating or exciting but the
strength in corn induced just enough
buying to create a strong position
in the absence of pressure.
Showery weather prevailed over
the southwest and more precipita
tion is forecast. The forecast was
bullish as heavy frosts are expected
over the upper Mississippi .Valley
and plains states. This did excite
some buying but much of the wheat
in that territory is not far enough
advanced to be hurt seriously.
Seaboard reported _200,000 bushels
i of wheat taken for export overnight.
Exchange market was unfavorable
for business. Milling demand was
quiet. A reduction of 700,000 bush
els was noted in supplies in passage
and of th* 15,000,000 bushels world
shipments oyer 900,000 bushels were
from North America.
Wheat reacted in the late trading
under commission house selling anil
liquidation by early buyers. Last
prices were unchanged to 1-4 cent
lower. May 1.04 1-2; July LO6 3-8 to
1-4; September 1.07 1-4; December
1.10.
Corn was strong and a lack of
pressure was a big factor. May led
the advance and it looked as if the
big longs were putting the screws
on the shorts in an attempt to stam
pede them into covering. Cash corn
advanced with futures but the de
mand was not urgent except for th e
dry grades. Receipts were light and
receivers reported no offerings to
arrive nor any increase in notices
o {consignments. Shipping demand
was slow. One shipper said Buffalo
offered No. 2 yellow corn to New
England at 1 1-2 cents less than
what he asked for No. 3 yellow.
Corn closed 1-8 to 1 34 higher. May
77 7-8 to 78; July 76 1-2; September
75 5-8.; December 67 7-’8 to 68.
Oats were strong with other
grains. Buying for eastern account
lifted lard. No trade in meats.
Oats were unchanged to 1-4 higher.
May 47 3-8; July 44 1-4; September
39 1-2
Lard closed unchanged to 2 1-2
cents higher. No trade in ribs or
bellies. :
Local cash sales were 21,000 bush
els of wheat; 67,000 bushels of corn,
and 41,000 bushels of oats.,

PRESBYTERY FINDS
MODERNIST TIT'
IN MISSIONS WORK
SAN ANTOIO, Texas, May 18.—
(By the Associated L’ress.j—From
far-off China came an echo of
the fundamentalist-niodernist contro
versy to the general assembly of 11 •
Presbyterian Church in the United
States, in session here.
“A taint of modernism” was al
leged to have crept into the foreign
mission field. The charge came from
the presbytery of central Mississippi,
which presented an overture passed
at its annual meeting at Louisville,
Miss. It was referred to the com
mittee on foreign missions before the
assembly recessed over Sunday to
resume its deliberations Monday
morning.
Sin has caused the world’s needs,
the overture states, adding that some
churches differ as to what that need
is and the remedy for it. Enunciat
ing the doctrine- of the Presbyterian
church that “a crucified and risen
Lord” is the only remedy for the
i need, the central Mississippi presby
tery asked that the denomination
withdraw from co-operative mission
work with churches that do not be
lieve in this fundamental.
Referring to an investigation or
dered by the general assembly in
1921 into the church’s missions in
China, the overture states:
Text of Overture
“In the light of what that investi
gation has revealed as set forth In
the report of the investigating com
mittee of the North Kiangsu mis
sion (China), and from information
derived from the press, iind because
of the dangers threatening evangel
ical doctrines from what is called
the modernistic movement, this Pres
bytery overtures the assembly to di
rect its executive committee of for
eign missions to withdraw from any
and all institutions in China which
do not recognize the Bible as divine
ly inspired and the only infallible rule
of faith and practice, the deity of
Christ, his vicarious atonement and
the other essential doctrines of
evangelical religion and further that
this committee be directed to give no
financial support in any way, to any
institutions whose doctrinal cach
ings may not at any time be investi
gated by proper authorized represen
tatives of our churches.”
In other overtures the same at
titude is reflected. The presbyter,y
of Kanawha, W. Va., asks that tths
assembly withdraw its support from
all union colleges, universities, the
ological seminaries and other union
educational institutions where mod
ernism is being taught, and that
“no money given by the church for
foreign missions should go either di
rectly or indirectly into the dissem
ination of injurious infidel ideas
among the heathen.”
Withdrawal Asked
This presbytery demands with
drawal of not only “objectionable
teachers,” but objectionable text
books from the foreign seminaries.
The presbytery of Lexington. Ky.,
asks that this whole matter be re
ferred to a commission for thorough
investigation with power either to
take action or report to ’the next
general assembly.
The assembly proceeded to a re
vision of many sections of the church
law contained in the book of church
order and had completed about half
this task when adjournment was
taken over the week end.
Among the revitlons was one de
daring that the present form of
government of the presbytery should
now be comprehended under five
heads, the church, its members, its
officers, its courts and its orders.
Duties of deacons were definitely
outlined to include the collection and
administration of the offerings of the
people for the relief of those in
need and for the work of the church.
A drastic change in church or
ganization was made by the assem
bly with the adoption of a paragraph
which reads:
“A church may be organized oniv
by the authority of the presbytery,
which may proceed with its organ
ization through direct procedure or
through a commission or an evan
gelist to whom the church has in
trusted the power to organize
churches.”
Discussion General
The revision produced much dis
cussion, as some believed that the
power of the evangelist to organize
churches should be limited, while
others took the stand that if it were
not for evangelists organizing
churches, there would not be as
many congregations now as records
show.
Definition of the rights of the
moderator were outlined by the a£ '
sembly in its adoption of a para
graph amending the existing rule
and .stating that the moderator mav
change the time and place of the
court in stated meetings.

report showed that legal action is be
ing taken in every state where south
wide Baptist institutions are oper
ating. to give tlie convention full
title and control of all its physical
proper! ies.
Earlier in the day the convention
heard from the relief and annuity’
board, which reported that 1,010
beneficiaries are nOw on its rolls,
recommended that all ministers with
30 years’ service to their credit be
paid SSOO per year as compensation
if they have averaged SSOO per year
from the ministry alone, and an
nounced that tin endowment fund of
$1,500,000 is sought.
Reports of women’s activities
showed that the Woman's Mission
ary union now has 22,326 societies
in operation, including young peo
ple’s organizations.
Progress in the construction of the
National Baptist Memorial at Wash
ington, 1). C., was reported by Dr.
B. C. Uening, who stated that the
completion of the present contract
will entail an expenditure of $270,-
000.
Renew University Plans
The convention will make vigor
ous efforts to re-establish complete
ownership and control of George
Washington university, at Washing
ton, D. C., it was decided.
It developed from the report of the
special committee empowered by the
convention to conduct negotiations
with the trustees of the university
that an offer of $2,000,000 made to
the trustees of the university on be
half of the Southern Baptist con
vention has been rejected.
George Washington university is
now operated as a non-denomina
tional institution, although from the
time of its establishment in 1821 un
til 1904 it was under Southern Bap
tist control. In 1904, although two
thirds of the trustees were Baptists,
the university changed from a Bap
tist institution to one of non-denomi
national policy.
The trustees of the university in
rejecting the $2,000,000 offer of
Southern Baptists took the position
that there is need of a non-denomi
national university in the national
capital. It was further urged by the
trustees that recently a financial
campaign was put on by the univer
sity and funds were solicited with
the understanding that it should re
main non-denominational.
Rural Church Survey
The committee of the convention
in charge of negotiations with the
university authorities was instruct
ed to continue negotiations and to
inform the trustees that Southern
Baptists do not consider the rejec
tion of the offer as final, nor have
they lost hope of returning George
Washington university to complete
Baptist ownership and control.
One of the most striking features
of the Saturday afternoon session
was the report of the commission on
rural church survey, presented by
Dr. E. P. Aldredge, the official stat
istician of the convention. This
report showed that 88 5-10 per cent
of all Baptist churchecs of the south
are in rural districts; there are 22,-

The international political situa
tion was injected into the session
Saturday by the introduction of a
resolution by Dr. F. E. Britten, of
Lake Worth, Fla., in which the
Southern Baptist convention called
upon Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
and other senators of his political
views to support the world court
proposal as outlined by the late
President Harding. The resolution,
however, was tabled after a brief
debate.
The sixty-ninth session of the con
vention was the largest in point of
attendance in the history of the de
nomination, with the single exception
of the meeting in 1920 at Washing
ton. D. C. The registration of mes
sengers reached 5,700 in addition to
the 2,000 or more delegates to the
annual convention of the Woman’s
Missionary union, which was in ses
sion simultaneously at the Baptist
tabei nacle.
Business Finished
It was distinctly a business ses
sion and a vast amount of detail was
disposed of during the four days of
the assembly.
Several efforts were made to inject
the, fundamentalist-modernist contro
versy into the convention, ’ut all
failed, it being held that the state
ments of Baptist faith and doctrine
made at the 1919 and 1923 sessions
of the convention were sufficient
enunciations on that subject. At the
closing session, however. Dr. MqDan
iel made it plain that the world need
have no doubt as to the stand of
southern Baptists on religious belief,
as the complete orthodoxy of the
denomination was uncompromisingly
stated and unanimously indorsed last
year, ami there is now no disposition
to alter that expression.
The arrangements for the conven
tion were in charge of a large com
mittee of Atlanta Baptists, headed
by Dr. Charles W. Daniel, pastor of
the First Baptist church, as general
chairman. Dr. W. H. Major, pastor
of the Capitol Avenue Baptist
church, was chairman of the com
mittee on accommodations for mes
sengers ami visitors.
Congressman W. D. Upshaw, who
attended the early sessions of .the
convention, was to have delivered an
address Saturday night on various
phaseslof the prohibition situation,
but he was called back to Washing
ton to vote on the soldier bonus
measure and was unable to carry out
his part of the program. He tele
graphed the convention Saturday
night, howevei'. that there is “no
chance of a mollification of the pro
hibition laws.”

M'JDDD. CONFIDENT,
DIBECTSSWY
OF OWN CAMPAIGN
BV DAVID LAWBENf E
(Special Leased W ire to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
NEW YORK, May 17. William
Gibbs McAdoo lias come to town just
at the psychological moment. There
are conferences now among Demo
cratic leaders which may influence
the whole trend of events at the
Democratic national convention, six
weeks, hence.
Mr. McAdoo and his associates are
confident of the outcome. They nei
ther look doubtful nor talk that way.
Arrangements are being'- made for
the convention itself—that is what
has brought .several national < orn
mitteemen here —but the undercur
rent of conversation is not who shall
be temporary or permanent chairman
or what the strategy of the conven- I
tion will be.
The McAdoo men are sure of more
than 400 votes on the first ballot.
They say they have more votes in
store on subsequent ballots. If they
get a majority, they believe the wholi
convention will swing toward them
and furnish the necessary two-thirds.
On what is all this conference
based? You can't talk five minutes
with any of the McAdoo men before
learning that they are absolutely con
vinced that the dragging in of Mc-
Adoo’s name in the oil controversy
has been a boomerang; that it is the!
kind of thing/’which Republicans Will |
think harmful, but which the Demo- I
cratic party will not. For, in the j
first place, Mr. McAdoo feels he has
done no wrong, that nobody has ac
cused him of any legal wrongdoing,
and that his activity as a lawyer
after he left the treasury department
is no different from the activity of
Charles Evans Hughes after he lift
the supreme court of the United
States. Mr. Hughes, it is pointed >
out, argued before his former asso
ciates and was highly protected for ]
his services. a
Progressive Needed
But the McAdoo men say the oil i
discussion is “old stuff” and that)
the people in several state primaries;
have passed on it and given McAdoo
their support.
Far more significant at the mo-1
merit is the course that the McAdoo
generals are taking in mapping out
their campaign for the nomination,
which is the first hurdle to be
crossed. The McAdoo men point sig
nificantly to the statement by Sena
tor La Follette that he would run
independently if both parties name
a conservative. The inference which ;
the McAdoo strategists draw from j
this is that he may not run if a
radical or liberal Democrat is nomi-1
nated. Anyway, the whole basis of I
the McAdoo campaign is that there ’
must be a, difference between the!
two candidates and the parties in I
the forthcoming test, that the west ■
and south can be counted on to sup I
port a liberal and progressive, while!
the east will naturally vote tot a
large extent for- a conservative. '• j
McAdoo’s speeches in the west are
exactly in line with that doctrine. !
While he himself would probably j
say that to describe his doctrines
as radical is erroneous because he I
thinks a radical is essentially an ex-1
nevertheless the utterances'
are not in the least conservative. |
For instance, he has been advocat
ing the repeal of the much mooted
section 15-a of the transportation
act. which limits the earnings of the
railroads, he has been favoring the
repeal of the labor .clauses so that
the present labor board may be
abolished. He lias also been talking
in favor of a cash bonus., while the
present soldier insprance bill does
not appropriate money for that im
mediate purpose.
influence of Wilson
As for foreign affairs, the man '
whose r reat liability in 1920 was his i
kinship with the late Woodrow Wil
son is today finding it his biggest
asset. Mr. McAdoo has been careful
not to come out in favor of any par
ticular formula of co-operation be
tween nations, but says he would
call an international conference ’f
elected. In such a conference would,
of course, be discussed all kind of j
formulas, and it. goes without say-1
ing that Mr. McAdoo is not hostile :
to an amended and revised covenant ;
of the League of Nations. The Dem
ocratic national platform will chart I
the course of the nominee on that;
subject. For the moment foreign pol-, I
icy is not an issue as between can- ’
didates for the nomination itself. I
’l’he Wilson following in the party;
for the most part is behind McAdoo,!
though he has recruited some of the ;
old anti-Wilson men, too.
Another thing on which the Me- I
Adoo cohorts are not silent, is prohi
bition. They point to him as the|!
only “dry and progressive canai-;
date.” This seems, of course, a chai-: ■
lenge to Governor Al Smith. Wheth-1
er the McAdoo men can make of All
Smith a conservative by declarin'; I
Tammany is far from progressive, i
remains to be seen. But the fight ap
pears to be developing largely be I
tween the McAdoo and Smith forces, I
with all sorts of rumors floating'
around just now that at the psycho
logical moment both the Underwood
and Cox strength will be thrown i
to Smith rather than McAdoo in or
der to head off the latter’s nomina
tion. The pre-convention efforts to I
persuade influential men behind the!
scenes to cast their support into the
camp of William Gibbs McAdoo ■ is
becoming intensified. There was a
time when the skeptics thought him ;
eliminated on account of the oil mix
up. He has now carried several pri
maries and has come here to ask
the doubtful ones what they think
about that and to persuade them Jo
climb his band wagon. For McAdoo
is one of the chief strategists of his
own campaign.
DAUGHERTY PROBE
COMMITTEE SEEKS
MORE REMUS DITA
*“ /
WASHINGTON, May 18. Aid
I from the department of justice in get
i ting more of the story of George
J Retnus about about payments for
“protection” while operating in the
bootleg industry ./as sought Sitin’
day by* the senate Daugherty com
mittee.
At the same time, in a heated open
session, the committee strove to find
whv one of the witnesses, Jong held
in reserve in its inquiry, lately has
bet-ti made the object of a federal
prosecution, and learned, incidental
ly. that the department’s bureau of
investigation is being extensively re
organized by Attorney General Stone,
since W. J. Burns, its former chief,
resigned last week.
Senator Wheeler, the committee
prosecuto/, introduced in the session
j the theory that the SIOO,OOO paid for
mer Secretary Fall by E. L. Doheny
was intended to finance Mexican
revolutionary activities, but the sug
gestion was not followed up, nor sup
ported by testimony.
Remus, now in Atlanta peniten
tiary, told Friday of paying $250,000
or riore to Jess W. Smith, dead com
panion of former- AttornejF General
Daugherty, for “protection,” and of
fered to go personally'and bring can
celled checks from a “secret, seclud
ed spot” if the committe would ar
-1 range it. Mrs MabeT Walker Wille
: brandt, assistant attorney general in
I charge of prohibition enforcement,
i notified Chairman Brookhart by let
ter today that a court writ would be
necessary, and Senator Brookhart
announced that the department had
agreed to seek the proper legal au
thorization.
Controversy on Taxes
According to the committee mem-
I bers Remus also had a controversy
i with the bureau of internal revenue,
i as to income tax payments upon the
I tremendous quantities of liquor sold
' out of Ohio and other places prior to
I his conviction.
Warren W. Grimes, a special as-
■ sistant to the attorney general, and
J. E. Hoover, acting head of the bu
reau of investigation, were the only
two witnesses called in the opening
session.
Senator Wheeler asked Grimes
why an indictment had been asked in
California against Fred Gershon, a
former special agent, who was ex
pected ? o tell the committee. some
thing about, the revolution in Lower
California attempted by Estaban
Cantu. ’
Grimes admitted that he had writ
ten a letter signed by Burns, which
suggested to the department’s agent
in Los Angeles that Gershon was
■ ‘posing as a moral unplifter and
house cleaner” of the government
service, but might be shown to have
taken bribe money for letting muni
tions pass the American border in
violation of neutrality Jaws.
The letter bore a recent date, and
Senator Wheeler declared the action
was instituted to "intimidate” cem
mittee witnesses, but Senator Moses,
Republican, New Hampshire, protest
ed that Grimes should not be con
fronted with imputations against his
motive.
Asked a§ to the use of the Dohney
payment, to Fall, Grimes denied Any
knowledge of its relation to the
Lower California affair. The Cantu
rebellion took place in 1921.
Under Cover Men Out
Hoover, although not informed of
the proceeding against Gershon, told
the committee that Attorney Gen
eral Stone had instructed him to
reduce the personnel of the Bureau
of Investigation materially. Its
agents were instructed to institute
no new inquiries without the ap
proval of the attorney general, and,
hereafter its t'fnployes are to be law
school graduates only. The number
of “under cover men" is also to be
curtailed sharply.

Chairman Brookhart, that the De

authority over federal prisons, au
thorize such a tri;>. This letter was
sent to the committee chairman by-
Mrs. Willebrandt.
.Department Makes Ruling
“You have made a request upon
this department to permit George
Remus, accompanied by a represen
tative of your committee, to make a
rather extended trip to various
points in the United States for the
alleged purpose of securing checks
and documents which, he says, he
has, and which he insists that he
will not produce for you unless he b e
permitted 'to go for them himself,
refusing to author.ze either his wife
or his attorney to bring them.
“The attorney general was oblig
ed to take a train shortly after re
ceiving your telephonic request, and
he asked me to take this matter up
with you for him.
“The statutes of the United States
provide a method for allowing pris
oners to leave the prison walls upon
a writ ad testificandum issued by
a federal court, and inasmuch as
these requests are likely to arise
again, it is best both for the com
mittee, and for the Department of
Justice, to adhere istrictly to the
statute.
“This department volunteers to
assist you by every means at our
command to secure documents from
Mr. Remus, but we do not feel jtts
t.fied in allowing a man who, dur
ing the past two and one-half years
in which we have been prosecuting
him, has brought pressure to bear
upon every public official he could
approach in an effort to secure fa
vors, to be absent from prison walls
for a trip around the country, in the
informal manner suggested.”
