Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, June 11. Prices
advanced at the opening of the cot
ton market today on rumors of bull
ish private crop condition figures
and reports that private estimates
pointed to a larger domestic mill con
sumption for May than anticipated.
First prices were steady at advances
of 9to 25 points. Active months sold
25 to 30 points net higher during the
early trading. October advancing to
25.89. Early cables from Liverpool
were easier, but there were rallies
there on rumors that private reports
showed crop deterioration of about
3 points as compared with end may
figures. A private authority esti
mated home consumption for last
month at 478,00 bales.
With demand created by the ru
mors of bullish midmonth condition
figure supported on the early ad
vances prices reacted following pub
lication of the favorably weekly
weather report. July was relatively
weak, selling off to 27.85, three points
net lower, and new crops lost all
but five or six points of the open
ing gain. Offerings were well ab
sorbed at the lower figures, however,
and the market turned upward again
on the firmer tone of foreign ex
change, and the spot market. July
rallied around 28.15, and October
25.87 at midday, about twenty to
twenty-seven points net higher.
Covering later became more actiue
although there was no change in the
general character of the news. Prices
advanced to 28.25 for July and 26.14
for October or 37 to 54 points net
higher. The market was within 8 or
9 points of these figures with the tone

J CHICAGO. Wednesday, July 11. —
’' Wheat had another sensational rise
’i in the afternoon. A bullish state-
- ment by George E. Marcey, presi-
- dent of the Armour Grain company,
• as well as the Murray report, caused
’ a wild rus hos buying. The extreme
1 advance was not maintained owing
, to profit taking, but last prices were
I 21-2 to 7 1-2 cents higher; July,
i sl,lO 1-2 to 5-8; September, $1,12 1-2
'j to 3-8; December, $1.15 to $1,14 7-8.
- i Corn closed 3.-8 to 11-4 cents lower.
I July. 80 1-8 to 80; September, 79 3-4 c;
I Wecember, 731-2 to 3-Bc.
| Oats were unchanged to 1-2 cent
higher. July, 47 3-8 c; ijeptember,
42 5-8 c; December,.44 1-4 c.
I.aid closed 10 'cents lower, ribs
' 17 1-2 to 20 cents lower and bellies
12 1-2 cents lower.
Local cash sales were 60,000 bush
els of wheat, 20,000 bushels of corn
and 109,000 bushels of oats.
Corn was under pressure, but the
late rally' in wheat had a helpful in
fluence. Weather was milder and fair
weather prevailed over the wheat
belt, and additional showers fell over
dry 7 sections. Cash houses bought
-July and September and early 7 sellers.
December. Cash corn basis was 1-4
cent better on contract grades. Ship
ping demand was light.
Oats weakened early under realiz
ing sales but prices worked higher
1 later with wheat. Cash oats basis
i was lower.
Provisions were loxver. The early
break in corn and the weakness in
corn caused pressure.

WOMEN TIKE HOLE
OF IST LIEUTENANT
IT 2 CONVENTIONS
BY BARBARA ROBERTSON
j (Copyright. 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal)
WASHINGTON, June 9.—lt's a
far cry to that June sixteen years
ago when Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Longworth and Mrs. Medill McCor
mick startled all by putting in un
heralded personal appearances at
the two great national conventions.
For this June it will be the woman
of importance who announces she
is not going, xvho will cause the
sensation.
The “soft low 7 voice of xbonian”
and the cheerful clatter of tea cups
—to say nothing of the rattle of the
downright dinner plate—promises to
hold predominant off-stage interest
both a't Cleveland, where the Repub
licans meet next week to name their
national candidate, and at New 7
York, where the Democrats will
gather two weeks later.
Wardrobe trunks are being packed
nay, many of them already are in
the hands of the expressman—and
ambitious programs are ready and
waiting to be put into execution for
the urging on to high duty, and the
comforting and sustaining by cheer
ful attention of the president pick
ers.
Democrats in Spotlight
Among Hie delegates or right-hand
helpers of the Republican cause
who are off for Cleveland are Mrs.
Eugene Meyer, Jr., AJrs. Harry
Wardman, Miss Mabie P. Board
man, Miss Ailsa Mellon and Mrs.
Fred Britten. More or less well
known contributors to the Republi
can campaign chest and rank and
file xvorkers of the feminine persua
sion sw 7 ell the list to huge propor
tions.
Perhaps because the result at
Cleveland is looked upon as a fore
gone conclusion, and, also, perhaps,
because the other grand powwow
is to be held in thrilly New 7 York,
the Democratic t »invention is com
ing in for the mov discussion here.
The Democratic meet somehow
has taken on the color of a family
event. Father, mother, brother aJ'.l
all the girls are all anticipating the
trip to New York. More, they are
all counting on having a finger in
the pie. The vision of college girls
scurrying from commencement frol
ics to serve as ushers to the Demo
cratic wheelhorse is one of the nov
elties the 1924 political season of
fers.
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair. vice
chairman of the Democratic nation
al committee and director of wom
en’s activities for the party, is one
of the leading exponents of the
family ensemble idea. While “moth
er” is doing her bit in the higher
councils of Democracy, daughter
Harriet, a student at Goucher col
lege, will be down on the floor serv
ing as an usher. Son Newell Blair
will be rushing hither and thither in
the garb of a page.
Girls as Ushers
Mrs. Blair. Bannister, associated
with Mrs. Blair in ’ ■ work-, will
have with her as a convention help
er her young daughter, Margaret.
A niece of Senator Carter Glass.
Miss Bannister will enjoy all the
thrills of “pulling” for a runner-up
on a “dark horse” ticket.
Miss Margaret Pou, daughter of
Representative and Mrs. Edward
Pou, of North Carolina, and Miss
Virginia Garrett, daughter of Rep
resentative and Mrs. Finis J. Gar
rett, of Tennessee, also will be
among the ushers.
Off the convention floor as well
as on it, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman
will be one of the most scintiliant
of Democratic figures. She is trans
ferring her famous dinner table to
New York for the convention pe
riod. It will be set up in the home
of her'daughter. Mrs. Henry Potter
Russell, where all McAdoo-dlers will
find hearty welcome.
Others of the many Washington
ians who will he in New York in
clude Mrs. John B. Kendrick and
her daughter. Rosa Maye, who are
hurrying home, fresh from a presen
tation at the English court, to at
tend the convention, and Mrs.
Charles S. Hamlin and her daugh
ter, Anna, both notable in the smart
set of the capital.
In New York the Washington
women will join with the Empire
State women, headed by Mrs.
Franklin J». Roosevelt, Mrs. Edwin
11. Good, Mrs. Daniel O’Day and a
host of fashionable “up-staters,” in
showing the delegates a good time
and helping them decide what thex
ought to do and whom to nominate.

CUNIMITEEIN TO
be irao um
CLEVELAND, 0., June 9.—Perry
W. Howard, a negro lawyer, ot
Jackson, is slated to become Repub
lican national committeeman from
Mississippi, succeeding M. J. Mulvi
hill, whose delegation xvas unseated
last xxeek by the national commit
tee.
His selection has been agreed up
on by party managers xvho inter
vened to settle a dispute between
the white and negro members of the
state delegation. Formal ratifica
tion xvill be deferred, however, until
after the credentials committee has
disposed of Mulvihill's appeal.
With th e election of Howard, Mis
sissippi would join Georgia in hav
ing a negro national committeeman.
Some of the white members of the
state delegation announced today
that the selection would be ratified
-only after a fight, but they con
ceded that Howard had a majority of
the delegation.
With fexv exceptions, the contests
for seats in the convention that were
threshed, out last week before the
Republican national committee will
be carried to the committe on creden
tials. This committee will get down
to work immediately after the open
ing session of the convention Wed
nesday so as to have the permanent
roll completed when the permanent
organization is perfected Wednes
day.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro na
tional committeeman from Georgia,
will be called upon again to defend
the seats of his delegation against
the contest brought by delegates
headed by L. H. Crawford, of Dal
ton, Ga. Johnson won his fight be
fore the national committee, 22
to 14.
Besides the Mississippi and Geor
gia contests, the committee on cre
dentials will be called upon to dis
pose also of appeals of the Arkan
sas delegation, under Scipio A.

KUN CHIEF DENIES
INDDBSING WATSON
FDR VICE PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND, 0., June 9.—lt was
announced here today, ami promptly
denied, that the Ku Klux Klan's can
didate for vice president was Senator
Watson, of Indiana.
Milton Elrod, former publicity agent
for the klan, dictated a statement at
klan headquarters which he said was
in behalf of Dr. H. W. Evans, im
perial wizard of the klan, saying Sen
ator Watson was the klan’s only
choice for candidate, and that Klans-
I men would be satisfied with no one
else. Mr. Elrod authorized publica-
I tion.
When Dr. Evans heard of Elrod's
statement, he repudiated it wholly,
and issued a c.atement of his own
declaring that no one had been au
thorized to speak for him, that the
klan had not indorsed Senator Wat
son; that it had no candidate and
was not in politics.
Senator Watson promptly declared
the statement had been inspired by
enemies seeking to embarrass him,
and he disclaimed that he was the
klan's candidate.
Evans’ Statement
I Dr. Evans issued the folloxving
I statement:
“The statement that the Knights
I of the Ku Klux Klan are demand
ing the nomination of any man to
any office is unqualUiedly false. I
am the only man authorized to au
thoritatively speak for the klan, and
I solemnly affirm that the Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan is not in poli
tics. and I solemnly deny that any
political party will be allowed o at
tach, own or disown the Knights of
the Ku Klux Klan.
“We believe in parties. Millions
of our men and women, belong to
each party. Our only hope is that
each party will soon conduct its af
fairs as to merit the confidence of
their friends. In my opinion there
is no danger that either the Repub
lican or Democratic party will nomi
nate for the presidency or vice presi
dency any -man xvho is not an up
standing citizen worthy in - ’a and
character to hold the position.
“I have not been interviewed here
tofore on this question. I have au
thorized no statement for myself or
the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
on the question, and the statement
appearing in the press attributed to
me is without foundation of fact.
(Signed) DR. H. . EVANS,
Imperial Wizard,
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan” ..
Elrod's statement follows:
“All of our boys throughout the
nation will understand only one
thing and that is Senator James E.
Watson for vice president—flat.
“We xvill deny any responsibility
for the defeat of the Republican
party at the polls in November if
Watson is not selected for vice
president on the ground that he is
the most available candidate to carry
the middlewestern states which are
necessary for the election of Cool
idge.”
Senator Watson, of Indiana, im
mediately repudiated the statement.
“Such a statement,” Senator Wat
son aded, “was made without my
knowledge or consent, and is wholly
without authority from me or any
one having the right to represent
me.”
Dr. Evans xvas not present when
the statement was given out. Milton
Elrod, publicity representative of the
klan, acted for him. Elrod said the
klan headquarters would le open for
business until the nd of the -- mu
tton.
Public headquarters are being
maintained at the Statler, but Dr.
Evans and several of his closest ad
visers have taken a private house
in one of the fashionable sections of
the city, where they xvill hold their
conferences.
Evans arrived only this morning,
bur. sixty cf his co-workers had been
here over Sunday, laying the ground
xvork. They made a hasty report to
him and his statement followed.
The suggestion of an anti-klan
plank going into the platform xvas
scouted by leaders.
“That’s dead,” they said, with
grin. , . ”
