Tri-Weekly Market Reports
: COTTON |l
NEW YORK, June 23.—The cot- I
ton market opened easy at a decline j
of 12 to 20 points today because of
relatively easy Liverpool cables and
favorable weather reports. Prices
stiffened a few points on renewed
covering by July shorts and price,
/ixing was reported for the trade,
but rallies met increased offerings
and It was rumored that some of
me more favorable crop advices
from the southwest were accom
panied by selling orders. The mar
ket soon worked off in consequence,
July declining from 28.55 to 28.37 !
and October from 25.55 to 25.42, the j
general list showing net losses of j
about 20 to 25 points in the early
trading.
The decline later extended to 28.15
for July and 25.20 for October, mak
ing net losses of 42 to 47 points on
the active positions. Prices were
withi na point or two of the lowest
around midday, under continued
liquidation. Local and southern sel
ling appeared to be based on reports
of improving crop prospects and
expectations of correspondingly fav
orable monthly condition figures.
After selling off to 28.01 for July
and 25.04 for October, or 60 to 63
points net lower; the market steadied
on covered and showed rallies of 15
to 18 points or 25 points from the
lowest at 2 o’clock. Offerings were
decidedly light after the early after
noon break. There was buying on

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 23.—The
cotton market opened easier in sym
pathy with lower Liverpool cables
than due. First trades showed losses
of 20 to 22 points compared with
Saturday’s close, with July at 27.50,
October 24.75 and December 24.53.
Prices rallied slightly during the call
and then fluctuated aimlessly while
waiting for the posting of the
weather map. There were some
rains over Sunday in the western
belt, but the weather was again
warmer there causing fears of an
other hot wave which was sustain
ing the market during the first half
hour of trading.
.The market turned easier after the
posting of the weather map and
continued to ease off steadily during
the morning on favorable crop ad
vices from practically all parts of
the belt except extreme south Texas,
where recent heavy rains were
damaging. July traded down to 27.19,
October 24.34 and December 24.15
or 53 to 6? points below Saturday’s
close. The weather map showed only
scattered showers with little or no
lain in the western part of the belt.
The forecast was for cloudy and
cooler in the west and fair and
warm in the east. The market at
midsession was steady at practically
low levels of the morning.
The market was rather quiet dur
ing the noon hour and early after
noon, but prices were steadier, July
trading up to 27.30, October 24.47
and December 24.27 or 11 to 13
points above the low of the morning.
There was some covering by shorts
fearing the possibility of private
condition reports now due, failing
to corroborate the many private ac
counts of crop improvement. Ex
ports for the, day were light, 2,437
bales. The general tenor of foreign
news was better and Manchester re
ported a good demand from the
Orient.

Levan A- Bryan: Two-sided market for a

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
' z GRAIN
CHICAGO, (Monday) June 23.
| Wheat was erratic in trend and the
i action of the market today demon
strated the danger in making short
sales on the declines. The action of
foreign markets had considerable in
fluence in the local pit and were the
cause of the wide swings.
I Liverpool slump caused the open
ing to rush to sell, locals being ac
tive participants in this movement.
Some support developed on the break
but this was ignored at first. After
mid-session Winnipeg showed unex-
I pected strength and this acted as
I on urge on local shorts to cover, but
I their efforts met with failure owing
to the lack of selling pressure. Prices
advanced to over the previous close
before most of the early sellers had
evened up.
After this buying was over, there
was a lull in the market movement,
the strength in corn tending to place
a curb upon bearish tendencies of
the locals. Seaboard reported 200.-
000 bushels of Manitoba wheat work
ed for export overnight. Milling de
mand was quiet. Crop news from
the United States and Canada was
generally favorable, although there
were reports of black rust in the
quack grass around Northfield.
Minnesota. Ordinary grades of hard
wheat were easier.
Wheats closed 1-2 to 3-8 c higher.
July sll3 7-8 to 3-4; September
$1.15 3-8 to 1-4; December sl.l-7 7-8
to 3-4.
Local shorts bid up prices of corn
because they were too enthusiastic
in following the selling by an Omaha
concern at the start. Cash corn was
strong with SO cents paid for No. 2
yellow at the opening, a new high
for the season. July also topped
the previous high mark on the crop.
There were complaints of too much
moisture from parts of lowa. Ship
ping demand for corn was light.
Corn closed 1 .1-8 to 2c higher.
July 87 3-4; September 86 1-8; Decem
ber 77 3-8 to 1-4. N
Oats followed the trend of the
othet* grains. Trade was without
much feature. Shipping demand
was moderate.
Oats were 1-4 to l-2c higher. July
46 3-4; September 42 7-8; December
44 3-8.
Lard held steady but meats were
depressed under sales prompted by
the weakness in hogs.
Lard closed unchanged to 5c high
er; ribs 5 to 10c lower, and bellies
unchanged to 5c lower.
Local cash sales were 12,000
bushels of wheat, 209,000 bushels cf
corn and 66,000 bushels of oats.

EUROPEAN REGIMES
TOMIUM
IFTEBMTM
BY WILLIAM BIRD
(Special Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News —Copyright. 1921.1
PARIS, June 21.—The four prin
cipal European governments hang
today to their power by their eye
brows. MacDonald, Herriot, Marx
and Mussolini all have suffered
from the shaken confidence of their
peoples during the last week.
Two of these, MacDonald and
Herriot, represent governments
which are called socialistic, but
some indication of the apprehension
they feel may be gathered from the
fact that they are meeting in the
first avowedly secret conference
since the peace conclave which sup
posedly abolished secret diplomacy.
Edouard Herriot, after the wide
ly heralded “left triumph” in the
May elections, begins bis career
with the smallest majo.ity given
any French ministry since the war.
His situation is extremely precarious
since the defection of any small
group would necessitate his retire
ment. Moreover, his weak situation
in the senate, as was indicated last
week by the election of Gaston
.Doumergue over his cand.’ te, Paul
Painleve, for the presidency of the
republic, was confirmed Thursday
when the conservative M. de Selves,
was elected president of the senate
to replace M. Doumergue.
A MacDonald Also ShaL.
"it seems obvious' that the senate
will not follow Herriot on an: of the
major questions of internal policy,
such as diplomatic relations wit’ the
Vatican.
And now that the L . George
liberals have definitely deserted Mr.
MacDonald in the house of corn
hot much better. As indicated by
the writer previously, the only thing
that prevents the overthrow of Mr.
MacDonald in the House of Com
mons is unreadiness of the Brit
ish conservative party for another
general--election. As soon as they
are ready it is understood that they
will be joined by the liberals in
throwing out Mr. Mac. nald.
Premier Mussolini is still in the
saddle in Rome, but despite all ef
forts to suppress the facts about
the situation which has resulted
from the assassination of Deputy
Matteotti it is apparent that he has
lost the confidence of the country.
The incomplete reports do not in
dicate whether the time has come for
him to relinquish or divid?, his dic
tatorial power. It is sufficient to
observe that his absolute supremacy
is challenged from now on and that
henceforth he will have a strong
adverse current of opinion to reck
on with.
The situation of Chancellor Marx
in Germany seemingly will depend
largely on the outcome of the Mac-
Donald-Herriot conference at Cheq
uers. Marx is a man of the left
center at the head of a parliament
which is preponderantly < jnserva
tive and, at best, his tenure is pre
carious. If Herriot and MacDonald
can- agree promptly on some working
plan for application of the Dawes re
port it is likely that Marx will hang
on. But if a breach occurs between
the two entente premiers—and if a
breach comes it will come through
Herriot’s fear of aliena... some
indespensable fraction to o’ ertbrow
Marx and substitute a government
with a strong determination to defy
the allies and push ahead with
plans for armaments and revenge.
‘Black Diamond,’ Noted
Racing Ostrich, Slain
In Hot Springs Fight
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., June 22.
“Black Diamond,” famous ostrich,
died Saturday.
The passing of the noted bird re
calls the memorable event at Green
ville, Ohio, 17 years ago when
“Black Diamond” sprinted a half
mile in 1:05, setting an American
record which still stands.
“Black Diamond” was killed to
day in a fight with six other birds
at the farm of Tom J. Cockburn,
near here. So fierce was the strug
gle, that the heavy fence about the
inclosure in which the ostriches
were confined, was splintered in
several places. Attendants had dif
ficulty in quelling the riot and peace
was restored only after “Black
Diamond” lay wounded.
“Black Diamond” was fifty-nine
years old. He raced on many tracks
from California to New England
during a period of fifteen years and
he never was defeated.

President Kurn admitted that ex

NO COMMENT FROM HARRIS
FORTHCOMING AT CAPITAL
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building-.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 23.
Little interest was displayed here
by Georgians today when news
came of the announcement for the
United States senate of ex-S’enator
Thomas W. Hardwick in opposition
to the incumbent. Senator William
J. Harris. Although it came at the
last minute it had been discounted
because of the efforts of Hardwick
to get out a candidate other than
himself.
Senator W. J. Harris had no com
ment to make on the Hardwick an
nouncement, and business at his
office is proceeding as usual. Sena
tor Harris left Sunday for New
York to attend the Democratic na
tional convention. Senator Harris
accepted the invitation of Chairman
Cordell Hull, of the national commit
tee, to sit on the platform at the
convention as the guest of the na
tional committee.
Cranston Williams, secretary to
Senator Harris, is in Washington
in charge of the office here. The
office will remain open throughout
the recess of congress. Captain
Williams is expected to have charge
of Senator Harris’ campagin until
further announcement. He was edi
tor of the Americus Times-Recorder
until entering the army in the World
war, and served in France.
Captain Williams said today Sena
tor Harris planned to reach Georgia
early in July, as he had been de

Hot Contests Likely
In Alapaha Circuit
ADEL. Ga., June 21. Politics
in the Alapaha-circuit are beginning
to attract attention, two Nashville
attorneys having announced for
judge and solicitor. J. P. Knight is
a candidate for judge and Judge W.
D. Buie is a candidate for solicitor
general. Both are prominent law
yers of the circuit. It is also under
stood that Colonel G. H. Mingle
dorff, of Pearson, will make the race
for judge and that Judge R. G. Dick
erson, of Homervile, will be a candi
date to succeed himself, he having
served the circuit since it’s creation
several years ago. Hon. J. D. Lovett
is the present solicitor general but
has not yet made an announcement
as to his intentions.
The circuit is composed of Cook,
Berrien, Clinch, Lanier and Atkin
son counties.

REPUBLICANS HIDE
AFTER SENATE ROW
JTWBE.iI. I.
BY CHARLES FORREST
(Copyright, 1924, by the Consolidated Prq.is
Association— Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
PROVIDENCE, R. 1., June 21. —
Somewhere out of Rhode Island, 19
Republican state senators are hid
ing this week-end frqm a political
situation that got too hot for
them.
And the shade of old William C.
Doit must be chuckling. For in
1824 it was the "land owners,” fore
runners of the present day Repub
licans, who put him to flight be
cause of his efforts to seize power
in Rhode Island with his “people’s
party.” Today it is the Democrats,
nodern incarnation of Dorr’s old
larty, whom the Republicans have
.’led. And the issue in both cases
.vas the same—greater power for
the general run of the electorate.
The Republicans fled on advice of
their state chairman, William C.
Pelky, to avoid service of a war
rant for their arrest which would
have compelled them to return to
the Democratic filibuster in the sen
ate. temporarily broken up Thurs
day when someone released a test
tube filled with bromide gas an!
knocked out half a dozen senators.*
The Democrats say they fled
merely to block further proceedings.
Tlie Republicans insist it was to
avoid menace to their lives and
limbs from a score or more of
gangsters and gunmen who have in
fested the state house since the
present filibuster started.
The Dorr flight nearly a century
ago, and the Republican flight, pro
duce an interesting contrast. Door
fled after being elected governor by
bis runtp “people’s party,” through
fear of the land owners, whose de
scendants are the Republicans of
today. He later returned with a
small military force and tried to
seize office, but was defeated, cap
tured and tried for treason. His is
suers triumphed, however.
Dorr had stood for the draft
ing of a constitution to supplant the
olq charter grant laws which gave
practically no power to the elec
torate. Today his successors have
renewed his fight for still greater
power to people of popular majori
ties and this time it is the land
owners who are in flight.
X Tiie gassing and tlie flight are
the culmination of a political battle
that has raged since a Democratic
governor, Flynn, and Democratic
lieutenant governor, attorney gen
eral and treasurer were elected in
1922. The Democrats were elected
on a platform, the three principal
planks of which were a 48-hour
week for workers, abolition of the
old property qualification law for
voters, and submission to the voters
of a proposal for constitutional con
vention. The Democrats regarded
the third as the most important and
they have waged a filibuster since
the present session opened on Jan
uary 1 in an effort to put it
through.
The aim of the Democrats
reconstitute the senate which 'is
made of representatives from each
of the 39 cities and towns —no mat
ter how small—in the statfi. They
contend that the Republican senate
majority represents only 20 per cent
of the voters.
The senate stands lecessed until
Tuesday afternoon by which time
the Democrats hope the
will have decided to reappear—or
at least to poke their noses into ths
state long enough to get arrested.
Unless they come voluntarily, how
ever, Governor Flynn’s only course
appears to be to send the militia
after them.
Senator and Doctor
Haled Before ‘Court’
After Fistic Clash
June 21.—A reg
ular “police court” hearing before
thQ board of governors of the exclu
sive Chevy Chase club was an
nounced today as a sequel of the
sensational Senator Robinson-Dr.
Mitchell fistic clash on the club’s
golf links Thursday.
The hearing has been set for
Monday, but unfortunately the
Democratic national convention in
New York will rob it of its pic
turesqueness, as most of the prin
cipals and witnesses will have to
pass up the hearing to attend the
convention. Robinson and Dr.
Mitchell and probably Senator
Walsh will file statements, though
Senators Kendrick and Jones may
appear and give their version in
person.

AVIATOR LEAPS INTO NIGHT
WITH PARACHUTE AS ’PLANE
GOES DEAD I.SOT FEET IN AIR
Lieutenant John Mcßeady
Adds Thrilling Chapter to
Flying History as Blazing
Machine Crashes
DAYTON, Ohio, June 20.—Dieuten
ant John A. Macßeady, veteran army
flyer added the most thrilling chap
ter Wednesday night to the story of
his exploits in the air.
He has flown across the continent
in a day. He has ascended to a
height of more than 24,000 feet and
come down stiff as an automaton
from the intense cold.
Wednesday night he crawled out
on the wing of his airplane, the mo
tor of which had gone dead, jumped
and pulled the rip cord of his para
chute and started down through
1,800 feet of absolute blackness.
He landed without a scratch.
One of the strangest features came
after he landed.
His plane had fallen to the earth
, with a crash and was immediately
enveloped in flames. Crowds congre-
I gated around it and stood in horri
j tied anxiety, helpless to make a move
i to extricate the aviator who, they
felt sure, was trapped.
Walks Into Crowd
Macßeady suddenly walked into
their midst. He had landed a short
distance away and had seen the plane
crash as he glided through the air.
Macßeady was returning from a
Miight airways flight, from Columbus,
when the motor stopped. He said
his first thought \vas to land where
no lives would be endangered.
So he headed for the outskirts of
| Dayton. Shortly the plane reached
strange territory, with absolute
darkness below.
“Then I prepared to jump,” he
said.
“My altimeter showed that I was
between 3.000 and 3,400 feet from
the ground. I loosened my safety
belt and threw one leg over the side
of the ship, keeping one hand on
the control stick.
Climbed Out on Wing
“Finally, I crawled out on the
wing of the plane and attempted to
nose the ship up so I could leave
without any danger of having the
parachute catch. I had to work
fast.
“I let go of the plane, and let the
wind blow me free.
“I don’t know in what position
f was in when I left the ship, wheth
er I was upside down or not. But
I heard the parachute open with a
snap, and I knew I would land safe
ly some place.”
Edward A. Wuichet of the Dayton
Chamber of Commerce, walking
down below in the summer darkness
was startled to a voice from
i the sky say, “Hello, below.” “Hey.
down there.”
Macßeady had decided to call out.

Ice Strike Is Threatened A
In Midst of Heat
CHICAGO, June 20.—Strike ac
tion, which would materially affect
the city’s daily ice supply, with rec
ord breaking hot weather prevailing,
loomed today, with union represen- /
tatives of 4,500 ice wagon drivers,
and plant employes deadlocked with
employers on the refusal of the lat
ter to grant a wage demand:
as he fell, to preclude, if possible,
injury in landing.
"I kept carrying on a conversa
tion with those below until I felt, a#
slight bump. They told me later I
had landed on the edge of a 100-
foot cliff. Not a scratch, or even a
good bump.”
Air officials here believe Mac-
Ready is the first person to ever
make a night parachute leap.
