Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, June 4.—Reports of
more favorable weather in the south (
and relatively easy Liverpool cables
appeared to outweigh bullish in
fluences in the cotton market in to
day’s early trading. The opening
was easy at a decline of 17 to 28
points. Active months sold 45 to
50 points net lower before the end of
the first halt hour, July declining to
29.34 and October to 26.25. Reports
that the weather was generally clear
and' warm in Texas were accompa
nied by selling orders from the south
west while there was further liquida
tion of cotton bought on the low-end
Many condition figures.
The weekly review of crop con
ditions by the weather bureau was
evidently no more bullish than anti
cipated. Its failure to bring in any
fresh buying of consequence seemed
to increase the disposition to liquid
ate previous purchases, and offerings
became more urgent after its publica
tion Stop orders were, uncovered on
the break which forced the market
off to* 29.07 for July, and 2(5.01_ for
October, maki\.g net declines of 73 to
80 points. After their execution there
were rallies of 9 or 10 points from
the’lowest on covering but the mat
ket was nervous and unsettled at
midday.
Slight midday rallies met renewed
liquidation and the market was weak
around 2 o’clock, with prices off to
28.92 for July and 25.90 for October
or 82 to 90 points net lower.

NEW-ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 4.-—The
cotton market opened, easier with
rather liberal selling on poor Liver
pool cables and much better weather
in the interior. First trades showed
losses of 24 to 32 points computed
with the close of Monday. Prices
eased off further immediately after
the opening call until July traded at
29 25, October 25.55 and December
25.25, or 34 to 50 points net lower.
After the first pressure of selling
prices rallied slightly on expectation
of aunfavorable weekly weather ie
port. Dry goods news proved en
couraging, New York reporting fair
ly large sales of piece goods.
The market continued to ease off
during the greater part of the morn
ing on a favorable weather map and
forecast for fair and warmers weath
er in the western and central portions
of the belt. The weekly weather re
port was unfavorable for the entire
belt except the south portions of
Georgia and South Carolina, but it
exerted little influence. July traded
down to 28.94 or 65 points net lower.
New crop months were even weaker,
October dropping to 25.20 and Decem
ber to 24.92 or 80 to 83 points below
the previous close. The market was
steadier around mid-season on favor
able dry goods reports and prices
rallied about 15 points.
The market developed another easy
spell around noon, the main depress
ing influence continuing to be pres
elects of good weather in the belt. All
active trading months made new lows
with July at 28.84 or 75 points net
lower and with October at 25.10 and
December at 24.85 or 90 points down
compared with the previous close.
The market seemed disposed to do a
little better in the afternoon on the
ground recent selling had improved
the technical position of the market
and prices rallied 15 to 16 points
f’.< m the lows of the session.

GRAIN I
CHICAGO, June 4. —Wheat was
strong today. In addition, there
was some expansion :n trade. Now
that artificial price raising by legis
lators is no longer a possibility, the j
market seemed to function a little
more naturally. Exporters offered
new wheat to Europe with mote
freedom and receivers were mote
disposed to bid the country ior
wheat to arrive. Bullish factors to-1
day were the strength in Minneapo
lis and Winnipeg -and dry weather
complaints from the northwest.
Showers ranging from .02 to .20
were reported generally over the
Dakotas, Montana and the Canadian
west. This disposed of dry weather
talk as a market factor. Pressure
was light most of the session. Aft
er mid-day the bulk of business was
in the way of spreading between
this market and Winnipeg. Spread
ers bought. Chicago July and sold
Winnipeg Julv. and bought Winni
peg October and sold Chicago Sep
tember. No important export busi
ness was reported at the seaboard.
Milling demand for wheat was quiet.
Sales of 200,000 bushels of contract
wheat were made to go to store.
Wheat closed 1 5-8 to 2c higher.

Corn had an upward tremk Com

trated the attempts of local bears to

and then bid prices up in order to
get their corn back. Cash corn was
unchanged in premium. Shipping
demand was light. Consignment no
tices continue fair. Weather was
more favorable for the growing
crop, but warmer weather is nee ied.

BISHOP CANDLER
SEES TROUBLE IK
UNIFICATION PLAN
MACON’, Ga., June 2.—Bishop,
Warren Aiken Candler, of Atlanta, !
senior bishop of the southern Meth-;
odist church, made a plea Sun- ■
day afternoon for a close walk with ;
God rather than “a big organization I
that forgets its God.”
Bishop Candler preached at the'
morning service at Mulberry Street ;
Methodist church, and in the aft-!
ernoon talked on unificattion at
same church.
He said the present proposed plani
for unification of the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, and the
Methodist Episcopal church, would
bring about more irritation and
trouble than ever before. He made
no reference to an article printec.
here Sunday over thp signature of I
Bishop Edwin D. Monzon, in which '
Bishop Candler’s attitude against]
unification was attacked.
Division of the Methodist denomi-1
nation, Bishop Candler said, has |
been responsible for its growth
throughout the world. He declared
that the southern Methodist church
had had a larger percentage of in
crease in growth than any other
protestant denomination or branch.
“Not by merger will we grow,” he
said, “but by respecting national
lines and racial prejudices and not
by holding unsympathetic and dis
cordant people together.”
Bishop Candler declared that the
plan which is to be considered be
fore a special general conference in
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 2, “has so
many holes in it, I’ll have to use it
for a sifter.”
(’barges Bad Faith
“This plan doesn’t take out over
lapping and duplication,” he de
clared, “but it legalizes and says the
northern church can invade the
south like it has been doing con
trary to the articles of separation
in 1844.”
Frequently he referred to por
tions of church history, and there
was occasional apparently restrained
applause. He pointed to a civil suit
against the northern church in
1848 —four years after separation—
when he said it became necessary
for the southern church to go into
the courts to force the payment of
$240,000 and fulfillment of an agree
ment by the northern church.
“I can see no objection to any
body having this question discussed,”
the Ibishop remarked in beginning
his address. “I am opposed to call
ing a special general conference,
and I have the facts.”
Discussing the question of over
lapping, Bishop Candler pointed to
what he termed “renewed energy”
on the part of Northern Methodists
to strengthen their work in the south
through encouragement of the pro
posed plan. Specific instances were
given, and he particularly referred
to two Florida cities, Miami and
Tampa.
As an instance of what he termed
neglect by the northern church of
its own field, Bishop Candler said
th t in New York City the Meth
o..lst church. total • >ership is
20.000. In Atlanta, he said, there
are thirty Southern Methodist
churches with a total membership
of 30,000. He objected to the pres
ence of a Northern Methodist church
in Atlanta, and expressed the opin
ion that the SIOO,OOO invested there
could better have been spent in New
York wjth its 5,000,000 population
than in Atlanta with 200,000 people.
Foreign Work Separate
“In the United States alone does
the Northern church invade our ter
ritory,” he declared, “and we do not
overlap in a single foreign field.”
Article IX, relating to the judicial
council of the united church, re
ceived particular attention from the
bishop, when he remarked after
reading section 111 of 1 the article—
the judicial council shall also have
power to arrest an action of a con
nections! board or other connectional
body when such action is brought
before it by appeal by one-fifth of
the members of said body present
and voting or by a majority of the
bishops—“l don’t want our mission
board handled in any such way,” he
added.
The northern church is troubled
with megalomania, Bishop Candler
charged. “But,” he said, “our Mas
ter is not concerned about bigness.”
Discussing the powers of the gen
eral conference, Bishop Candler paid
particular attention to the rights of
the negro bishops and the negro dele
gates, referring to situations that
might arise with negro bishops and
delegates. He replied to arguments
that have been presented about the
negro bishops by declaring that it
is not fair or unright to tell the
negro bishops that they are bishops
of the “whole church,” and confine
them to negro work. They would
have the same rights and authority
as that of any other bishops in the
church, he said.
Prejudice exists in the rural dis
tricts. the bishop declared, and uni
fication of the two churches is sure
to bring distress over the negro
question.
“We are not one in spirit.” he point
ed out. referring to the two branch
es. “and we have grown further and
further apart since separation.” He
referred to discussion of political
questions in the northern general
conference, and its introduction of a
resolution indorsing the Dyer anti
lynching bill.

ETCHER ETCHES SO CLEVERLY
SLEUTHS CALL HIM DANGEROUS
W x
i
.. . " V J••••••• ■■■ & . .
JOSEPH L. HEMPSTEAD, Chicago etcher, whose handiwork is
so skillful that the government classes him as “dangerous” and fre
quently sends its sleuths to look in on him.
Joseph Hempstead, of Chi
cago, Could Counterfeit If
He Wished, but He Isn’t
That Kind
P>¥ GEORGE BRITT
CHICAGO, May 31.—N0 girl ever
got angry at being called “a dog
gone dangerous girl,” and Joseph L.
Hempstead isn’t any more resentful
of the fact that the treasury depart
ment classifies him as “dangerous.”
For he could -counterfeit paper
mony if he wanted to. He is one of
a handful of etchersf in the United
States who have the skill to turn
out such perfect etching copies.
So it happens that every now and
then he receives a visit from a mys
terious stranger. The visit is ft
look-in from a jealous government.
The visitors simply upset the studio
and leave without buying any etch
ings.
Washington knows what sort of
etcher Hempstead is. When the war
started he was head of a large en
graving' plant in Boston. The bu
reau of printing and engraving took
nine of his workmen, several of
whom he had trained himself, and
set them to turning out Liberty
bonds in Washington.
Hempstead’s specialty is color
etchings. Be uses only one plate,
and prints all his colors with a sin
gle impression. Most etchers print
their colors with repeated impres
sions.
There are inconveniences in being
too skillful an etcher. A set of
Hempstead plates, now gathering
dust in a large publishing house, il
lustrates that. The publisher in
tended to bring out a reduced price
edition of a de luxe volume by a fa
mous artist. The original volumes
were illustrated by the artist’s own
etchings.
Hempstead was commissioned to
reproduce etchings for the popular
edition. When he turned in his
work, the publisher decided it was
so perfect it would reduce danger
ously the demand for the original
book. So Hempstead's book never
was issued.
Hempstead began at the mechan
ical end and built his knowledge
from the ground up. He was head
ed for West Point when a change
in family finances required him to
become a wage earner. He got a
job with a photogravure plant as an
apprentice and learned the trade.
As a side line he was taking les
sons in drawing, and after about
six years went to Paris for a few
months’ study under Goupil.
Although his success with colors
has been remarkable, he never has
had a lesson in color work. He de
veloped that himself.
Cobb Reed, Shot, Dies;
Jacob Cofer Is Jailed
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., June 2.
Cobb Reed, a young man residing
about 12 miles north of Lawrence
ville, who was shot Friday night
about 1 o'.clock, died from the ef
fects Sunday at Gainesville, where
he was rushed to a hospital. Jacob
Cofer is in jail here charged with
the shooting. Cofer claims that
young Reed was trying to break in
to his home. Awakened by his wife
and getting his gun he says that
he shot Reed through the window.
Cofer stated that several nights ago
some one rocked his house and that
he thought that the same person
had returned.
H FREM CRISIS
WIENS TO OUST
MILLEFMD QUICKLY
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER
(By Radio to The Atlanta Journal and Chi
cago Daily .News—Copyright, 1924.)
PARIS, June 2.—The French
presidential crisis is in full swing.
President Millerand, far from be
ing firm, has become hesitant, and
probably soon will yield to the in
sistent demands of the new left
majority that he resign. The crisis
has developed on schedule as was
forecast by the^Paris bureau of The
Atlanta Journal.
The radical and. Socialist party
groups, loudly seconded by the un
asked support of the Communists,
have voted motions of condemna
tion against the French president,
and have announced their refusal
to co-operate with any government
formed under his auspices.
This means Raymond Poincare,
who resigned Sunday to make way
for the new left government, will
be obliged to chrry on affairs a few
days longer, for, presumably, no new
government can be assembled under
present circumstances.
'The tactics of the left probably
will take the form of a refusal to
take up the reins of government un
til M. Millerand resigns.

15 IN INDEPENDENT,
CLOSE FBIEi SAYS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Lensed Wire t<> The Juurnal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON. June 3.—Robert
M. La Follette, senior senator from
Wisconsin, has decided definitely to
make, the race for the presidency as
an independent, irrespective ot
| whether William G. McAdoo is
I mimed on the Democratic ticket or
I Calvin Coolidge on the Republican
ticket, tor he has given up hope of
“boring from within” the two old
line parties to secure the enactment
of a progressive program.
Mr. La Follette believes congress
should not adjourn now but should
stay in session all summer if neces
sary to accomplish agricultural re
lief and other needed reforms and is
urging his followers in the senate
and house to block adjournment so
far as is possible and to make their
record clear on this point.
These are the opinions expressed
by Osward Gau Ison Villard, of New
York City, editor of “'Die Nation,*'
the liberal weekly, after a confer
ence with Senator La Follette today.
Mr. Villard goes back to New York
to complete the organization /f a
committee to be affiliated with the
conference for progressive political
action, which is to meet in Cleve
land on July 4 for the purpose of
nominating Senator La Follette for
the presidency.
Window Weights Hold
Florida Merchant’s
Body Down in Creek
TAMPA. Fla.. June 2. —Belief that
th* s slayer or slayers of Luis Lopez.
Ybor City grocer, whose mutilated
body was found afloat in Six-Mile
I creek early yesterday morning, would
be located within the next 48 hours,
was expressed this afternoon by Con
stable M. W. Johnson. Pending the
I outcome of this investigation the
I corner's jury today decided to defer
its verdict until Saturday morning.
Clues' upon which the officers are
working are said to be based upon
the theory that Lopez was killed for
his money. The gocer is known to
have been in the habit of carrying
large sums of money on his person
and is said to have had more than
SI,OOO in cash with him when he left
his store last Thursday night and
failed to return.
More than 100 pounds of window
! weights were attached to the body
j when it was brought in to shore. Mrs.
Josephine Lopez, widow of the mur
dered man, says that she had not
reported her husband as missing be
cause he frequently remained away
for several days. He refused to tell
her where he was going, Mrs. Lopez
says but he had frequently spoken
of “going to Cuba for a load of li
quor,” and she believes that he was
taking the money with this purpose
in view. Officers have expressed the
theory that Lopez was double-cross
ed by the pals who were to have
been his partners in this expedition
and that they are the ones who kill
ed him.
Funeral services for the deceased
man were held today following the
inqtiest. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Josephine Lopez; two
daughters, Catherine, 28, and Jose
phine, 11, both of Tampa, and one
son, Luis Lopez. Jr., of Tallahassee.

of Dr. R. T. Beason, prominent drug
gist and business man of Woodruff,

o’clock Saturday afternoon floating,
face downward in Enoree river about I
300 yards below the Enoree Power
company’s dam at Vanpatton Shoals
is still unsolved, according to in
formation reaching this city.
An autopsy performed by two phy
sicians revealed the fact that the

dead man were found turned inside
out, and a piece of his shirt was dis
covered hanging on a snag near
where his body was first seen. His
coat was found on the bank in a po
sition indicating that it had been hur
riedly removed, and all of the papers
that had been in the pockets were
lying in a pile on the ground. The
discovery of the body was made by
Wright A. Godfrey, who with Dr.
Beason and two others, Ryan R.
Leonard and J. H. Parsons, all of

shoals to fish.

afternoon in the cemetery of the
First Baptist church at Woodruff,
after funeral services had been held
at his home. He is survived by a
widow, four children, his father and
two brothers.
