COTTON x
NEW YORK, Aug. 4. —The cotton
market opened easy today at a de
cline of 36 to 42 points under re
newed liquidation. Local and south
ern selling was encouraged by pros
pects of showers in the southwest
and reports of favorable crop prog
ress from nearly all other sections
sttceut North Carolina. October con
tracts sold off to 27.75 and December
27.12, representing net declines of
40 to 53 points. Buying by spot,
houses and scattered covering later
caused rallies of .10 or 20 points 1
from the lowest. A private report
placed the crop condition at 67.6 and
the indicated yield at 12,272,000 (
bales. \ I
Another private report, plating
the condition of the crop at 69.;>
and the indicated yield at. 12,600,000
hales, was followed by a flurry of
selling which sent prices off to 27.74
1 for October, 54 points net lower. The I
decline was checked by covering on
the western belt forecast wricn
failed to confirit earlier shower pre
dictions. The market was steadier
around midday with October at 27.91
and December at 27.28 or 34 to 37
points net lower.
Trading was much quieter but the
mid afternoon market held fairly
steady on the continuance of the
southwestern drought as indicated 1
by the official weather report.
ber ruled around 28.06 at 2 crclock
with the general list showing net de
clines of 20 to 22 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 4.
''The cotton market opened easier to
day with first trades 32 to 40 points
lower. Prices continued to ease oft
during the opening call until October
’raded as low as 27.00 and December
at 26.96, or 52 to 54 points below Sat
urday’s close. The easier tone was
due to reports of rains in extreme
south Texas and indications of un
settled weather in other parts of
that state. The market later quiet
ed and rallied about 15 to 20 points
While awaiting the weather map. A
private condition report this morn
ing made the average 67.6 and the
indicated yield 12,275,000 bales.
The market after easing off to
26.95 for October and 26.92 for De
cember or 57 to 58 points below the
close of Saturday, mainly on reports
of some indication of rains in Texas,
later returned easier and recovered
; t n of the early loss. The
rallj’ was based on a rainless weath
• map except for showers in t
Carolinas and an official forecast
promising little change in the
weather. Three more condition it- I
ports were issued, the first giving
an avrage of 67.5 and indicated
yield of 12,373,000, based on the gov
ernment acreage, another a condi
tion of 69.5 and a crop of 12,600,000
and the third condition of 69.6 and a
crop of 12,718,000.
The market ruled steady during ,
the hour before noon and October
made a new high at 27.42, or 47
points above the early low but 10
points below Saturday’s close. De
cember did not advance above the
earlier high, however. Shortly after
noon the market eased off on private
reports of* a good rain at Austin,)
Texas.

! ( - iII(’AGO, Aug. 4. —Corn featured
t the gain trade today by showing
further sharp gains to new high
(levels on the cron. Trade was big
land the outside buying was some
thing to wonder at. W’re&c took a
I secondary position and Ire price ac
ilion was very uneven, Cats followed
I corn rather than wheat.
I Corn started rather unauspicious
! ly. Lower prices were recorded on
I first trade because of pressure from
leading longs in September and from
I commission houses in the new crop
i months.
The decline acted as a stimulant
I to outside traders and soon the sur
-1 plus offerings were digested and
prices moved up into new high
ground disturbing stop loss orders
to buy which accelerated the ad
j vance. Market met with some press
pure on the bulge and a reaction fol
lowed but the buying power was
good enough to start prices upward
again. Cash corn did not show the
strength that futures did. premiums
being cut half a cent. However sales
were made at the best prices of the
season. Crop reports were more
favorable. /

! corn did not show the strength, that

at. the best prices of the season,
j Chop reports were more favorable.
Wheat had a rocky road to travel,
meeting resistance on bulges, but un
covering friends on dips. The start
was higher under moderate buying
but the advance was soon dissipated
under offerings on resting orders.
Northwest buying caused a rally but
local pressure inspired by reports
of estimated by a local ex
pert caused a. setback. Support
again developed but around the pre
vious close offerings increased and
the market seemed unable to main
tain a rally thereafter.
VVJieat closed near the low point,
with losses of 1- 2 to 5-8 c registered.
September 1.31 3-4 to 1-2; December
1.35 3-8 to 3-8; May 1.40 1-4 to 3-8.
Cash wheat premiums were half
a cent, lower. Receipts today will
total close to 2,000.000 bushels. Visi
ble supply is expected to increase
over 4,000,000 bushels. Rust reports
were not so numerous with weather
over the infested ■ area unfavorable
to its spread.
Corn lost some of it§ early ad
vance owing to heavy selling by
kings for profit. Last prices, how
ever, were 1-4 to 2c higher. Sep
tember 1.14 5-8 to 1.15; December
1.05 3-4 to 7-8; May 1.06 1-8 to 1-4.
Oats were easier at the opening
under selling by cash houses. Brices
I »ulged sharply later on covering by
shorts and investment buying
i prompted by the bulge in corn. Cash
oats premiums were off half a cent.
Country offerings to arrive were
slightly heavier.
Oats were 5-8 to 1c higher. Sep

Provisions were sharply higher at
the opening on buying caused by the
sharp upturn in hogs. Prices lost
part of the advance later under real
izing sales.
Lard closed 7 1-2 to 17 l-2c higher;

'day by the executive council of the I
j American Federation/of Labor by the)
; abolition, almost without revision, oil
I the report of the federation's na-|
! tional non partisan political cam !
I paign committee. Not until tomor-
I row will the text of the report and)
the resolution be available to th"
I press.
| Heads of the American Federation
jof Labor refused tonight to make
I any comment as to the nature of
I either document, and asked news
paper men to avoid speculation.
. Debate on the political question)
occupied all of a special session of|
the council this afternoon. The for- i
mutation of an official attitude)
toward tfte observance of National j
Defense dfiy, September 12, was de-,
ferred until Monday.
Xir. Gompers tonight made an of-'
ficial statement concerning the ac- |
lion of the executive /council, in nisi
first personal contact;' with new.sp.i-)
per men since he was taken ill dur- \
ing' the Democratic national eon
vention.
Escorted by a nurse and an aide,
he stood throughout the interview,
and still pale from his illness, de
spite daily rides along the seashore
boardwalk and clinging to a table
for support, he made this statement:
“I am going to tell you quite
frankly about the situation with us.
We have devoted the entire day to I
discussion of the report of our po-!
litioal committee. Every angle of %
the national political situation was I
gone into.
‘‘There was no hesitation. It was I
all clear speaking. The report nt >
the American Federation of Labor's j
non-partisan political committee, j
which we adopted, conforms to what
has been the practice with us in
every national, state and local cam
paign since
“We have not had a clerical force
which will enable us to get out re
ports of the meetings as quickly as
would be possible at our Washing
ton headquarters. But we have
reached a. conclusion and adopted
the report. Some little revision will
be necessary. We would like to
make the proceedings public, but we
can’t today.”
Sessions of the council will be re
sumed on Monday, the first topic of j
the day to be a discussion of the I
National Defense day observance.

In Injunction Battle
Over Tennessee Board
MEMPHIS, Tenn.. -Aug. 2.—A mo
tion to dismiss an injunction re
straining the 1924 Republican pri
mary board from officiating at the
primary election to be held next
Thursday wa"k denied today by Chan
cellor Israel Peres.
The injunction was granted several
days ago on representations of the
old primary board that the new
board was irregularly chosen by the
state committee, the basis of the con
tention being that a lawful quorum
of the state committee did not par
ticipate in the selection of the; new
board. Two-thirds of the regularly
qualified members of the state com
mittee are required to constitute a
quorum for the appointment of pri
mary boards.
The 1924 board, selected by the
state committee in Nashville in June,
is composed of three white men and
two negroes. The old board is com
posed entirely of representatives of
the so-called “Ely white faction” of
the county organization.
In his opinion today the chancel
lor held that inasmuch as the new
board was improperly chosen, the
old board appointed in 1922 was en
titled to function until its succes
sor was legally chosen and quali
fied.
Mystery Veil Shrouds
Killing of Farmer
In Monroe Count) 7
FORSYTH. Ga., Aug. 2. —Mysterv
still covers the details of the death
of J. R. Al. Britt, well-known Monroe
county farmer, whose body was
found early Friday in the road near
his home, notwithstanding that the
coroner's jury placed the blame for
the tragedy on Dave Flynt, a Lamar
county negro, charging that Flynt
run over Mr. Britt with an automo
bile and left the scene without re
porting the accident. Flynt was ar
rested and confessed the killing, stat
ing that at the time he thought he
had run over a log.
The coroner’s verdict and Flynt’s
confession, however, have not ended
the investigation by Sheriff Bittick.
Many say they believe Mr. Britt was
murdered and the automobile acci
dent advanced to cover up the facts
for governor, former Federal Judge
Henry S. Priest and Fowler Smith
Lottin, both of St. Lou’is. campaigned
on platforms advocating light wines
and beers. Priest and George H.
Moore, former collector of internal
revenue, also of St. Louis, vigorously’
condemned the Ku Klux Klan. Dr.
A W. Nelson, of Bunceton, farmer
banker, and Floyd E. Jacobs, of
Kansas City, public administrator
there, emphasized principally tax re
duction in their speeches.
The Republican race is a three
cornered affair, with Sam A. Baker,
of Jefferson City,, former superin
tendent of public instruction, openly
supported bY Governor Hyde and a
large portion of the state administra
tion organization, and Lieutenant
Governor Hiram Lloyd, advocated
principally by the “old guard.” Vic
tor J. Miller, former president of the
St. Louis police board, the third can
didate, declared he was free of fac
tional support and appealed to the
entire electorate.
Fifteen of the sixteen Missouri
congressmen, f.ve Republicans and
ten Democrats are seeking renomi
nation.
Mrs. Kate S. Morrow of Warrens
burg. secretary of the state Demo
cratic committee, the first woman
to file for a major office in Missouri,
had made a vigorous campaign for
the secretary of state nomination

IH HORTENSE SAUNDERS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—ln the
midst of her social duties in Wash
ington and her responsibilities as the
wife of a politician and the mothei'
of three sons, Frances Parkinson
Keyes finds time for the career she
has always cherished —that of an
author.
Her latest book, “Letters From a
Senator's Wife,” should be on the
required reading list of every woman
who contemplates living in Wash
ington or taking any part in official
Ef'e. It will save the fledling poli
tician’s wife many embarrassments
and prepare her intelligently for
what is to come.
When her husband, who is the
senator from New Hampshire, en
tered upon his official duties in
Washington, Mrs. Keyes found her
self facing a job just as new and
trying as his —that of being a sena
tor’s wife.
She recounts her first experiences
with the utmost candor and does not
hesitate to mention her first faux
pas as well as her triumphs, and
her series of letters gives a very in
teresting sketch of social life in
Washington.
Lived in Country
She maintains a constant appre
ciation of the advantages of Wash
ington’society, a kindly tolerance for
all its formalities and seems never
to forget what the folks back home
want to hear about.
“Because,” she told me. very
frankly, ‘‘l know what it is to live
in the country, more or less cut off
from people who seem to be doing
things and having an exciting life.
The first sears of my married life
were spent that way.
“I know w’hat a mother wants to
read in those few minutes after the
last baby has been put to bed and
the household duties have been
brought to the point where they
may be safely deferred and carried
over to the next day.
“I know what it is to carry about
in my head all sorts of stories and
plots that you simply haven't got
time to get down on paper.
Mother’s Viewpoint
“In other words, I’ve been a lone- I
some, sometimes very discouraged j
and overworked housewife,, with ap
parently nothing ahead but more of j
the same. Now that I have a chance )
to participate in a broader and more I
exciting life, I want to share it with )
those who don’t.”
Mrs. Keyes has already done con
siderable fi(?tion and is a public
speaker of much ability. She knows
politics thoroughly and undoubtedly
could have a spectacular career in
politics if she wanted to. But she
prefers to write.

COOLIDGE GIVES UP
UISMLK«E
TO SPEED LDOOESS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 fnten
sified effort during the week had
brought near completion tonight the
address President Coolidge is pre
paring for delivery here August 14
in accepting the Republican presi
dential nomination and inaugurating
the Republican national campaign,.
The Republican nominee has work
ed assiduously on the speech this
week as his official duties would per
mit, and today chose to forego his
week-end Potomac cruise to spend
an entire afternoon on the task.
Several sections of the address re
main to be drafted but for the
most part it is in such shape as
only to need the usual polishing ofl
that public speakers like to give to
prepared addresses. Mr. Coolidge
wants to have it entirely completed
by the middle of the coming week
when William M. Butler, chairman
of the Republican national commit
tee, arrives here, for conferences and
to take charge, of final arrangements
for the notification ceremonies.
Among the subjects to be consid
ered by Mr. But'-er here with Mr.
Coolidge is the proposal advanced
by several Republican leaders, not
ably Senator Curtis, of Kansas, that
an additional headquarters be es
tablished in Minneapolis or some
other city in the northwest from
which a concentrated campaign In
that section would be conducted.
This section is looked up by both
Republican and Democratic leaders
as the stronghold of Senator La Fol
lette, the Independent presidential
candidate, and Senator Cuftis had
advised Republican campaign man
gers that be has reason to believe
every one of the northwest states ex
cept possibly Wisconsin and North
Dakota could be carried by the Re
publicans if the proper sort of cam
paign here conducted.
Charles B. Warren, retiring am
bassador to Mexico, who is a guest
f/t the White House, said today he
expected to take an active part in
the campaign, but did not disclose
what form Ids participation would
take. He is being consulted at pres
ent by Mr. Coolidge in his prepara
tion of his notification speech.
Top Sergeant, With
8010, Nips Mutiny
Os Filipino Troop
MANILA. Aug. 1. —(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —One bolo, one club
and the will of one determined man
suppressed the recent disorders
among one company of the Philip
pine Scouts, it was disclosed in tes
timony before the court martial
which is trying more than 200 scouts
on charges of joining a mutiny.
On the stand today First Sergeant
Hipinaldo told how he had “persua
ded” his company'of the 57th infan
try to leave their barracks. Hipinal
do said he went upstairs to the
company squad room with his bolo
in his right hand and a policeman's
club in his left and proceeded to
“trim out.”
He said the company drilled with
out further protest after he had told
the men “if you are going to refuse
to obey the government, you'll have
to kill me first.”
Later he said, the company re
fused to turn out for retreat with
the result that he went upstairs
again with his bolo and club and
held retreat inside the barracks, with
every man present.

LOSING MATES IN
FOG, LIEUT. NELSON
GOES IT ALONE
(Continued From Page I)
Lieutenant Nelson will rest in Ice
land until his commander catches
up to him.
Lieutenants Smith and Wade were
keenly depressed tonight that such
ill fortune should have befallen them
so quickly after their European
jump-off, before they had time to
understand the hardships of the
they raised their anchors and
skipped out of Houton bay.
The first ill luck was the absence
of wind in Scapa Flow, just outside
the bay. They lost half hour before
Nelson and Wade were able to pull
their floa tsfrom the water. Smith
failed for more than an hour to get
free from the water and finally, he
s'gnalley his companions to come to
his assistance. Skillfully maneuver
ing his machine, Wade dropped four
times in front of Smith, attempting
to make the wind from his propeller
raise the water-tied plane.
Fog 3,000 Feet Deep
At the fifth attempt Wade suc
ceeded in making sufficient swells
to loosen Smith’s plane. 'Then all
three airplanes made a belated start
for their jump to Iceland. They
headed for the open sea at the Bay
of Skaill and followed the coast
northwest to Birsay. where they ran
into a heavy fog which obscured
their path from the top of the water
up to a. distance of 3,000 feet. They
were trapped in the center of this
fog.
Nelson and Wade, following close
ly after Smith, made the turn east
ward, and came to an open space.
They continued northward, but short
ly again were trapped by the fog
which, however, had a ceiling some
500 feet above the water.
Wade, giving the Associated Press
a description of this second trail,
said that as soon as the planes hit
the thick center of the fog, they got
close together. For a time a dis
tance of only about eighty feet sep
arated them, he said. They signalled
each other compass readings, drifts
and other bearings. Smith hesitated
to turn aside after once making the
get away, but it. soon became ap
parent that to combat the fog, which
covered hundreds of miles bf the
ocean, would be useless. It also
would have made it necessary for
the planes to fly too close together.
Two Nearly Collide
Smith was soon lost from the sight
of his followers and then Wade saw
Nelson make a quick drop through
a hole in the fog to the ceilinged
space between the water and the fog.
In turning to follow Nelson’s exam
ple. Wade found himself only ten
feet above another plane, which he
narrowly avoided hitting. Slacken
ing quickly, he made out through
the mist Smith’s plane. Smith then
signalled him that they would have
to give up today’s flight.
The two aviators again turned the

TO COMMEMORATE FLIGHT
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 2.—A
granite and bronze monument will
be dedicated on Sand Point aviation
field, near, this city, whence four
American army planes started April
