Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, June 2.—Reports of
unfavorable weather for new crop
developments over the holiday and
strong Liverpool cables were reflect
ed by a firm, opening in the cotton
market today. First prices were 15
Ito 53 points higher on covering, re
'b.uying by sellers of last week and
fresh commission house buying,
which sent prices up to 30.07 for
July and 27.00 for October, or about
42 to 55 points net higher during
the early trading. Liverpool cables
reported that American and conti
nental interests had been buying
new crop months in the market i
there on the unfavorable weather
and crop reports and that Lan
cashire interests had been buyers of
July. Three more private reports
were issued with condition figures
ranging from 66.3 to 68.3 and
acreage figures from 2.6 to 4.5 per
cent increase.
After the initial buying orders had
been supplied the market eased off
some 1$ or 20 points under realizing
in advance of the government's crop
report. The latter placing the condi
tion at 65.6 was below general ex
pectations, however, and the market
became very active and excited im
mediately following its publication.
Within a few minutes the price of<*
July had advanced to 30.50. October
to 27.50 and December to 26.75 or
85 to 105 points above Thursday's
closing quotation.
Buying orders, set in motion by
the bullish crop condition figure, ap
parently were supplied on the ad
vance to 27.50 for October, and the
market quieted down toward mid
afternoon with prices working off to
29.88 for July and 27.02 for October
delivery. These figures represent
ed actions of 40 to 60 points from
the best, but active months were
still 23 to 57 points net higher around
2 o'clock.

GRAIN
CHICAGO (Monday), June 2. —
Wheat acted choppy today. Locals
iwere bearish at the start and sold,
but buying by southwest houses
caused early sellers to change their
opinions. Later the strength in Win
nipeg caused locals to buy, but they
met with selling from houses that
were believed to be buying in Winni
peg.
News was mixed in Character.
Snow estimated winter wheat crop at
549,000,000 bushels, Cromwell at 554,-
000,000 bushels, and Murray at 544,-
000,000. Last year’s crop was 572,-
340,000 bushels. All of these author
ities estimate on spring wheat range
from 183,000,000 bushels to 189,000,-
000 bushels. Weather was favor
able for the crop.
World’s shipments were heavy at
over 18,000,000 bushels. Despite the
heavy shipments, supplies on ocean
passage were reduced over 500,000
bushels. Receipts are increasing. In
dications pointed to a slow export
z trade. Millers wanted cash wheat,
but failed to send profitable bids.
Corn acted stubborn. Prices weak
ened early under local pressure, but
commission house buying forced sell
ing to cover at higher prices. Later
the dip in wheat caused some pres
sure, but the market contained sup
port around the previous close. Cash
corn held well despite the increased
receipts. Shippers and carriers took
the corn at unchanged prices. Ship
ping demand was light. Supplies on
ocean passage increased 2,635,000
bushels last week.
Oats were quiet and without fea
ture. Shipping demand was slow.
Provisions were higher. Shorts
covered on the firmness in bogs.
Wheat broke sharply in the last
hour and oclosed 1 7-8 to 2 3-8 cents
lower. Heavy selling by southwest
ern houses believed to be hedging
uncovered stop loss orders to sell.
Buying power was poor. July,
$1.03 3-4 to 5-8; September, $1.05 5-8

HARDWICK BLOCKED
INGOVERNNEHTJOB
DE SENATOR MIS
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, D. C.. June I.
It was learned in senatorial circles
here Saturday afternoon that Sen
ator William J. Harris has blocked
the appointment of former Gover
nor Thomas W. Hardwick, of Geor
gia. to a federal job under the pres
ent administration. This appoint
ment is understood to have been of
fered to Governor Hardwick while
he was in Washington this week.
The former senator and governor
was seen about the senate in con
versation with his one time asso
ciates. and is also understood to have
called upon Secretary Weeks, of the
war department.
Former Governor Hardwick re
cently resigned as one of the special
attorneys of the department of jus
tice, handling war fraud cases. This
position, however, did not require
confirmation by the senate. It is
known that the administration was
willing to give to Mr. Hardwick a,
federal position which it is required
must go to some Democrat, but Sen
ator Harris informed the adminis
tration through an emissary that he
could not consent to th/: confirma
tion of Mr. Hardwick by the senate.
Senator Harris Silent
The appointment would be objec
tionable to him, Senator Harris is
understood to have held, and, under
the rule of senatorial courtesy and
precedent, no confirmation could be
had in view of such objection.
Senator Harris himself had no
comment to mAe Saturday on the
report in senatorial .circles that such
a. situation had arisen. However, he
did not deny the report.
Persons in the confidence of Sen
ator Harris say that his attitude to
day is the same as when he and the
late Senator Thomas E. Watson no
tified Senator Overman then a Dem
ocratic conferee on the federal judge
ship bill, that they objected to legislrf**
tion for another federal judge in
Georgia because they believed the
late President Harding and Attorney
General Daugherty intended to ap
point Mr. Hardwick.,
It further is cited that the present
attitude of Senator Harris is not
without precedent, and that when
he was in the senate Mr. Hardwick
made objections to nominations to
the bench of Judge W. E. Thomas,
of Valdosta, and Judge- U. V. Whip
ple, of Cordele. The s,ame sort of
objections now, according to persons
who have talked over the matter
with Senator Harris, may -prevent
former Governor Hardwick from
landing any federal appointment that
must be confirmed by the senate.
Would Withhold Consent
Senator Harris is said to have sen!,
word to the administration that if
it had an appointment for a Georgia
Democrat, he would be glad to make
a recommendation that would be ac
ceptable to the state, but that he
could never consent to the appoint
ment of Mr. Hardwick.
Such a federal appointment, of
course, would have taken Mr. Hard
wick out of Georgia politics, but
when this suggestion was made to
Senator Harris,- .the latter is known
to have been unmoved bv it.
It is not known definitely here
what position the Coolidge adminis
tration had in r md for Mr. Hard
wick, but the fact that the name of
Secretary Weeks is mentioned in
connection with the story might in
dicate that it was one of importance;
possibly on some government com
mission where vacancies impend.
Mr. Weeks and Mr. Hardwick, al
though of different political faiths,
have been close personal friends
since their service together in the
house and then in the senate.

(Continued from Page I)
of the night of questioning, their
story remained unshaken in any de
tail. The authorities were about
ready to admit that their statements
wer qorrect.
Meanwhile, in an outer room of
the state’s attorney’s offices a man
had been waiting patiently for four
hours to have some notice taken of
him. He was the Leopold family
chauffeur and had been called in
with a dozen others to substantiate
details of the boys’ statements.
Finally the chauffeur was called
in and asked a few
questions. He chanced to remark
that the Leopold car was in the
garage throughout the day c f May
21.
Questioners rushed- to the two
boys with this information and a few
hours later. as dawn streaked
through the windows of the state’s
attorney’s office, the youths ad
mitted the slaying.
Testimony Corroborated
Tonight authorities were working
to corroborate the most minute de
tails of the boys’ story.
The lagoon where the youths said
they threw the typewriter was being
dragged, the boys were taken to a
lonely prairie, where they pointed
out the spot where they tried to burn
the blood-smeared robe that they said
they placed over their victim’s body.
A search was being made for the
Franks boy’s shoes and belt, and the
proprietors of the garage from which
they rented the car in which Robert
was kidnaped already hid identified
them.
Late today the boys, under heavy
guard, were taken over the route
they said they pursued and to the
place where the body was found to

WASHINGTON, June 2. —This year’s cotton crop began the sea

department of agriculture, follows:
India, 23,088,000 acres, an increase of 1,296,000.
Egypt, 1,648,500, a decrease of 220,100.
Brazil, 1,965,800, an increase of 453,500.
Russian Turkestan, 705,000, an increase of 405,000.
Uganda, 419,000, an increase of 85,000.
Korea, 378,000, an increase of 8,000.
Mexico, 27 9,000, an increase of 37,000.
Argentina 154.800, an increase of 98,300.
Anglo-Egyptian Soudan, 101,000 acres.
WASHINGTON, June 2.—The condition of the cotton crop on

re-enact details of their confession.
Leopold tonight still appeared non
chalant, although he showed effects
of the great strain under which he
had been placed for more than twen
ty-four hours.
Loeb collapsed when a druggist,
from whose store he called the
Franks home in connection with the
ransom demand, positively identified
him.
Meanwhile, plans were completed
for quick action in the courts.
The inquest, indefinitely postponed
the day after the body was found,
will lie reopened Monday morning,
and it was announced that the case
will be the first to be submitted to
the June, grand jury.
State’s Attorney Crowe said that
kidnaping for ransom was a capital
offense in this state, and that it was
possible to try the slayers of the boy
for two crimes, each punishable by
death —murder and kidnaping for
ransom—in ease indictments were
returned.
Slaying Part of Plan
The story of the boys, Mr. Crowe
said, indicated that their victim was
dead 5 minutes after he entered
their automobile. Mr. Crowe said
that his questioning revealed that
the slaying was a part of the plan,
and that the youths had no inten
tion of returning, the boy to his
parents after payment of the ran
som.
After the crime was committed,
and the evidences of it were de
stroyed, Mr. Crowe said the boys
engaged in a card game until they
went to bed.
Their confession also disclosed an
elaborate plan for collecting the ran
som money without exposing them
selves to detection, the state’s at
torney said. In case Franks had
gone to the drug store, as they di
rected him to do. he was to be called
at the drug store by telephone and
instructed to look in a nearby refuse
box, where he would have found in
structions to board a train and
watch for a signboard after passing
a certain stop.
At a signal he was to have tossed
the money from the window, accord
ing to their plans.
The boys, the police found, went
about preparations for their feat
months ago by registering at hot Is
under fictitious names, establishing
bank accounts under assumed names
in small banks in nearby cities, and
rehearsing the actual details of
their plan.
At a hotel where a youth, believed
to have been Loeb, registered under
an assumed name a few weeks ago,
the poliefe found a book left by him
on the subject of the influence of
wealth in ancient Rome.
Julius Rosenwald went to the
state attorney’s office during the
day when informed the boys had
told of a plan to kidnap a relative
of his. He said he doubted, even if
they had considered such a step,
that xansom could be their motive.
$16,000 in Rewards
Rewards totaling $16,000 were of
fered for information leading to the
identity of the slayers. The police,
officials from the state attorney’s
office and newspaper reporters who
found clues, all were wondering to
night who would share in them. The
boy’s father offered $5,000, each of
two morning newspapers offered
$5,000 for exclusive information as
to the identity of the slayers, and
Chief of Police Collins offered SI,OOO.
Leopold and Loeb were quartered
tonight in an outlying hotel, each
A
occupying separate rooms anC each
under police guard. The nolice said
they feared that the youths might
attempt suicide and would keep
them under surveillance at all times.
State’s Attorney Crowe had only a
brief statement to make tonight
when he wound up almost 4S hours
of continuous investigation.
“I have a hanging case, and 1
present the facts, including the con
fessions, to the grand jury early in
would be willing to submit it to a
jury tomorrow.” he said. “I Shall
the week.”
He added that the separate con
fessions of the boys agreed in every
detail except that each accused the'
other of striking Young Franks over
the head with the ’iel, and each
claimed to have driven the auto
mobile. He said he had found part
of the boy’s shoes and the ashes
and fragments of the robe which the
slayers used to cover the body of
1 their victim, and that only the type
writer used is needed to complete
the evidence.
Resources Unlimited
The resources of three Chicago mil
lionaires will be involved in the fight
to free Leopold an I Loeb.
Nathan Leopold, Sr., termed the
confession of the boys “a lie.”
When informed of the confessions
! he said: “That boy cannot be guilty.
I am not ready to discuss the case at
this time, but I am sure the boys
never harmed the Franks child. It
can not be true.”
i Leopold i mediately retained coun
sel to help his son.
Just vehement were the d.uials
1 by members of the Loeb family that
. young Loeb could have participated
. in the slaying. Ernest his
. brother, said they were able to ac-
I count for his movements every hour
of the day of the slayuig.
Jacob Franks, father of the in
youth, said that “the law should take
its course.”
“If they can be proved insane,’
he said, “then let them be sent* to
an asylum; if not, the law should take
its course.”
Previous]” he had announced his
intehtion of spending his entire for
ti ne, if necessary, to bring the slay
ers of his son to justice.
Authorities still were loath to be
lieve that a desire for money, of
which they apparently had plenty,
, was the commanding motive fo'r the
boys’ alleged crime.
“The boys wanted to have a lot
of fun and the ransom was not the
chief object in the crime.” in
. vestigator who had talked to them
for hours said. “They indicated that
’ they expected to have a lot of ex
, citement in sending letters to the
home of the Franks family, giving
, tips and then watching them dash
, away to follow these clues.”
Leonold and Loeb have been care
fully reared in surroundings as near
the ideal as money and intelligence
can produce. Money never has been
a consideration in their 19 years of
life.
Both Boys Chicagoans
Both are Chicagoans born and
bred, both live in mansions in one
of the city’s most exclusive sections. ■
, and both lads, as well as their al
leged victim, attended the same pri
vate sdhool in their childhood.
Both boys have records as bril
J liant students, Loeb having received
j a degree from a middle-western uni
; versity at the age of 17. and Leo
-1 pold not only made a record as a
brilliant student, but was a linguist
of note and had become an orni-'
AMERICAN MISSIONS
FEEL JAPS' HATRED
IS EXCLUSION ECHO
TOK 10, May 31.—(8y the Associ
ated Uress.) —Several minor inciden .
illustrate the growth of the anti-
American spirit throughout Japan
engendered by the passage of the ex
clusion act by the American con
gress. Press dispatches from Waka
yama, a city 40 miles from Osaka,
say that the Young Men’s association
there passed a resolution demanding
the withdrawal of the American mis
sionaries from that district.
Three women’s organizations of
Tokio have passed resolutions urging
women not to buy American toilet
articles and the press reports a move
ment among Buddhist and Shinto
leaders ot bar Christians from Japan.
The majority of the newspapers
continue to fan the flame of resent
ment. The Yokurimo Shimbun says
trnrt the situation cannot produce
war but “we m-ti.st draw away from
America. Hitherto we have always
considered America first in any inter
national situation. Now we must
change that. We are convinced that
the further we hold aloof from Amer
ica the safer it will be for the peace
of the Orient.”
The Hochi comments in the same
strain urging economic and diplo
matic independence of the United
States.
Publicists, journalises and former
officials have formed the “Taibei
Doshikai” (anti-American associa
tion) t<i carry on a national agitation
against exclusion. The leaders include
Mistura Toyama, an aged political
agitator, imprisoned fir siding with
the rebels in the civil war of 1877;
Kotaro Mochizuki. who was in Amer
ica during the Washington confer
ence and is a member of the dilet. and
Shinkichi Uyesugi, a professor of the
imperial university.
Dispatches from Osaka indicate
that the agitation for a boycott of
American goods is gaining ground in
western Japan.

thologist. The boys appeared in
separable companions, but had oth
er boon comnanions and mixed very
little with the camnus crowds, those
who knew them said.
The police said Saturday night
that the confessions have removed
511 suspicion from more than a
dozen suspects, including Mott K.
Mitchell and Walter Wilson, teach
ers at. the private school the Franks
bov attended.
A pair of low tan shoes were
found tonight off a lonely road near
Hammond, Ind., by searches direct
ed to th£ spot bv Leonold and Loeb.
A belt and buckle which the boys
said they threw awav at the same
time have not been found. The
shoes were identified bv members of
the Franks family as Robert’s..
A diver searched until dark in the
lagoon where the boys said they
threw the typewriter without find
ing the machine. Two nolicemen
were stationed at the edge of the
lagoon to prevent anv attempt to
drag the spot during the night.
After a few hours’ sleen at a hotel
the boys were removed to police
cells and guards were again sta
tioned to watch over them. Extra
precautions wire taken because
Leopold had intimated to officers he
would like to end his life.
Attorneys representing the Leo
pold and Loeb interests refused to
make any statement after a visit to
the state’s attorney’s office.
“What is there to make a state
ment about?’* Benjajnin Bachrach,
retained by Leor ’d. Sr., asked
newspaper men who surrounded

office.
“But the bovs have confessed,”
reporters ventured.
‘‘Confessed to what?” he retorted,

TO HID MAYFIELD
DENIED BY BACKER
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Another
series of letters from Texas, relating
to individual contributions to the
1922 campaign of Senator Earle B.
Mayfield, were entered today upon
the records of the senate committee
investigating the contest brought
against Senator Mayfield by George
E. B. Peddy.
T. L. L. Temple, of Texarkana, re
ported that he made no contribu
tion.
J. K. Morris, of Dallas, who testi
fied he was a member of Dallas Klan
66, in 1921, was put on the witness
stand and asked whether an assess
ment was made upon Klan members
for the Mayfield campaign. He re
plied that he was told that he had
been assessed $1.45 as his share of
the fund the Klan was raising.
Joseph L. Dickey, a Henrietta, i
Texas, lawyer, testified that he was
present during a conversation be
tween Senator Mayfield and “Mike”
McNamara, deputy supervisor in the
state railroad commission, in which
Mayfield asked whether the “oil men.
were kicking in” to the campaign
fund. McNamara, he testified, re
plied in the negative and Mayfield
said:
“You tell the —. . . that if I am
not elected senator, I will be railroad
commissioner four years more.”
F. N. Littlejohn, of South Caro
lina, was recalled and asserted that
while he had been banished from the
klan he would be reinstated. He
denied that he was a "traitor” to the
klan.
“Did the klan threaten they would
burn at the stake anybody who voted
against Mayfield?” asked Senator
Watson, Republican, Indiana.
“No,” Littlejohn replied.
Counsel for Peddy told the com-
they would conclude on Mon
day their examination of witnesses
regarding campaign expenditure, but
said it might be necessary later to
call witnesses on other phases of
the case.
