' I COTTON I
NEW YORK, Dec. I.—The cotton
market opened easy today at a de
cline of 7 to 16 points in response to
easy Liverpool cables and continued
liquidation. There was soma trade
buying at the start, but offerings in
creased after the call and the early
market was weak and unsettled.
January sold off to 23.10 ami March
to 23.45. or about 30 points below
Saturday's closing. The selling was
accompanying tumors of a bearish
private crop report and while no
definite figures were mentioned, it
was expected to show well above
13,000,000 bales. Private cables at
tributed the decline in Liverpool to
hedge selling and liquidation.
The decline later extended to 23.07
for January with active months
showing losses of 30 to 35 points.
Tratje buying helped to steady the
market at the lower levels but the
volume of business tampered off
and the market was within 4 or 5
points of the lowest at midday. A
private crop report estimated gin
ning to December 1 at 12,224,000
bales and the crop at 13,000,000 bales.
While the private crop figures at
midday were under recent estimates,
the private ginning returns of 112,-
224,000 bales to November 30 at
tracted bearish comment, which
probably promoted local selling. The
south also continued selling here and
midafternoon market was wear, Jan
\ uary selling off to 22.84 and the gen
eral list showing net losses of about
50 to 55 points at 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. I—The
cotton market opened active, first
trades showing losses of 15 to 19
points. Liverpool was about as due
but New York was comparatively
weak under the pressure of con
tinued liquidation based on larger
crop ideas. The market cased off <
after the call, until January traded
down to 23.27, March to 23.35 and
May to 23.60 or 25 to 28 points be
low Saturday’s closing. Around
these prices the market showed more
resistance to the decline.
The market continued to ease off
during the morning under the pres
sure of rather liberal liquidation in
duced by bearish crop and ginning
estimates. January traded down to
23.22, March to 23.18 and M.ay to
23.42, or 43 to 46 points below Satur
day’s close. The market around
noon was trading at the low points.
Houston cleared today for foreign
ports 46,226 bales.
The market continued to gradual
ly ease off during the afternoon
weakness. The market appeared to
be still under the influence of liqtit
/ elation based on larger crop ideas
and fear that the government report,
due next Monday, may show a con
siderably larger total than its pre
liminary estimate of practically 13,-
000,000 bales issued November 21.
There was said to be a fairly good
spot demand and cotton goods mar
kets reported a steady tone.

FUTURES TRUDING
f
Changes in Georgia laws regard
ling dealing in future contracts for
cotton and other commodities will
|be sought by the Atlanta Commer
cial Exchange, co-operating with the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, ac
cording to plans announced Satur
day by officials of the former organi
zation.
The 1925 general assembly will be
asked to modify the present statutes
which provide drastic restrictions on
all such transactions, making it
printa. facie evidence of law violation
to maintain a blackboard where
stock and commodity market quota
tions are posted.
The recent raids on the Atlanta
Commercial Exchange and brokerage
offices in Atlanta, culminating in a
grand jury investigation and the in
dictment of more than fifty persons,
has had an injuriousKeffect on At
lanta business conditions, according
to statements of officials of the com
mercial exchange, and efforts are to
be made to remedy the situation.
In announcing their plan, to ask
the legislature to modify existing
laws, the exchange officials gave oct'
copies of correspondence between
the exchange and the chamber of
commerce, outlining the program
and asking co operation to the extent
of naming a committee, from the
chamber to work with the exchange
committee on legislative matters.
Paul JI. Norcross, president of the
chamber, lias agreed to place the
request before the trade body, ex
pressing tlie belief that co-operation
will result.
The exchange authorities concede
that the present stale laws are fully
enforceable and valid, and that while
they conflict with certain interstate
commerce acts, they can be used to
practically eliminate transactions in
stocks, bonds and crop commodities
throughout Georgia.
Statutes 20 ears Old
They make n he point that the pres
ent statutes was enacted some 20
years ago to meet conditions entire
ly different from those now prevail
ing, and that some revision is neces
sary to provide for contingencies that
have arisen in recent years.
The designation of Atlanta as one
of the delivery points for spot cot
ton on future contracts is anticipated
it" Georgia laws can be modified to
counteract the prejudicial attitude of
northern and eastern mill men, ac
cording to the exchange officials.
The federal department of agricul
ture is co-operating in an effort to
have Atlanta named as the spot de
livery point for the southeast, it is
stated. Such a designation has just
been made i.i the case of Houston,
Tex. where deliveries of spot cotton
for future contracts will begin De
cember 1.
Atlanta’s facilities for handling
spot cotton deliveries and for han
dling the spot market already lo
cated here, are excellent, it is point
ed out, since there are warehouses
here capable of storing 750,000 bales
of cotton. Approximately 30,000 bales
•are stored here annually now, it is
said.
The Atlanta Commercial Exchange
building, it is asserted, was built ac
cording to specific lions of the United
States department of agriculture,
looking to the designation of Atlanta I
as a spot delivery point.
Not only cotton, but many other |
commodities, are involved in the sit- |
nation, the exchange officials declare j
in their letter to the chamber of com
merce, and the proposed legislative
commitee will include not only men
interested in cotton, but also grain,
cottonseed oil, live stock and other
commodities. Bankers will also have
membership on *he committee.
Legislation Called Feasible
Concluding their outline of the sit
uation as it affects the business
structure of Atlanta and the south
east, the exchange officials, in their
correspondence with the chamber of
commerce, remark:
“It is, of course, feasible and prac
ticable to frame legislation that will
conform to the enlightened acts of
congress governing transactions in
cotton, such as the United States cot
ton futures act (popularly known as
the Smith-Lever act) and other com
modities, that are abreast of modern
conditions, that will enable the im
mense volume of business that is
transacted through Atlanta as the
focal point of the southeast to be
conducted expeditiously and in keep
ing with the progressive spirit that
is characteristic of our community,
while at the same time safeguarding
the course of legitimate business
from the evils of speculation.
“it is certainly apparent that, if
legitimate transactions, that are the
breath of life to modern commercial
development and are absolutely es
sential to the growth and develop- !
ment of our section, which is funda- |
mentally dependent upon its agricul- j
tural interests, are to be looked at I
askance and can be made the sub- ,
ject of criminal investigations, at ■
the whim and caprice of every re- ■
former or busy-body, the community
must necessarily be retarded and I
held back in its natural growth and ■
development. The ‘sheep’ can be
readily separated from the ‘goats’ by j
legislation that puts the supervision ;
and control of our business houses, !
exchanges or agencies under proper '
state commissions or officials and I
subject to salutary statutory require- ■
ments.”

ALASKAN CRUISE HAS MORE THRILLS
THAN HUNTING BIG GAME IN AFRICA,
SAYS YOUNG CURATOR BACK FROM TRIP
W’
Five in Ice Floes, Discovery
of Stefansson Expedition
Victims and Active Whale
Furnish Excitement
/ BY PHILIP J. SINNOTT
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29.—1 t
you're looking for thrills, don t think
altogether of chasing big game
through the African veldt, whore it’s
a long ways between water holes.
Just cruise along the Alaskan coast
in a small schooner and you'll get all
sorts of them dodging whales and
lassoing polar bears, according to
Sidney Snow. And as Sidney chased
giraffes all over Africa in his dad’s
flivver, he ought to know.
Young Snow, son of JI. A*. Snow,
curator of the Oakland Museum of
Natural History, is just back from
breaking through polar ice, filming
and bagging big game specimens.
And in addition to the sport of the
chase, his trip included a narrow es
cape from death in the floes when
the vessel caught fire; discovery of
the bodies of Stefansson expedition
victims; breakage of a crankshaft
while the ship was. in the Arctic wil
derness, and several close calls from
havipg the little schooner ground to
bits by polar ice.
They Got the Bear
Snow's jaunt to the Arctic was
made on the fur trading schooner
Herman, commanded by Captain
Louis L. Lane, veteran of northern
waters. The broken crankshaft
forced the Herman into St. Michael
for repairs, and it was two months
before the trip could be resumed.
“Don’t tackle it.” warned Alaskans
when the Herman s crew announced
it was going on north. This year’s
ice was the worst in a. decade.
But the Herman and Snow were
out, for thrills. And the first day out
of St. Michael's they commenced get
ting them.
A huge polar bear was sighted.
Captain Lane snared it with a las
so, then threw other ropes over it.
Then the fun began.’ with the bear
fighting, snarling and diving to es
cape.
It finally was overpowered and
drawn alongside. A submerged net
and a derrick landed it on deck.
Solve Karluk Mystery
Cruising along, the Herman came
to Herald island, and Lane and Snow
paid it the first visit of any sailor
men in 10 years. And this visit
cleared part of one of the northland’s
mysteries—the fate of the men lost
to the world when the schooner Kar
luk. of Stefansson’s expedition, was
lost in 1914.
Skeletons of four men gave mute
testimony to their fate. They had
frozen to death for there was food in '
their supplies and their guns had 1
ammunition.
It was a thrill to clear the mystery. I
It was a thrill for Snow to take pos- ■
•session of the island for the United I
Slates. And it wa sa thrill, as the !
States. And it was a thrill, as the
a whale Snow was filming from a ■
small boat, suddenly attacked the
small craft. Captain Lane harpoon
ed the monster just as it was about j
io crush the boat with its tail.
"Say, this is mv idea of real life,” j
says Eddie O’Brien, 14. who went
along as a steersman.
“Africa has nothing on th? Arctic
for adventure," avers Snow. “If you
feel too blase, let me prescribe a trip '
to the northland.”

FRANK M’DOWELL I
TRANSFERRED TO
INSANE ASYLUM 1
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 29 —j
Fiank McDowell, serving a life term
in the state prison farm at Raiford
for killing his parents in St. Peters
burg last February, has been ad
judged insane and committed to the
state insane asylum at Chattahoo
chee, it was learned from J. S. Blitch,
superintendent of the state prison j
farm this morning.
McDowell was delivered to the in- 1
sane asylum last Tuesday by state. I
prison guards. He was examined!
last Sunday by a commission, com-j
posed of Dr. G. F. Manus, of Lake i
Butler; Dr. J. L. Chalker, prison sui-i
geon, and Dr. J. S. Colson, of Gaines-'
ville.
Superintendent Blitch said that!
McDowell had become so violent at |
the prison farm that he was forced!
to keep him in solitary confinement.
“Even then,” the superintendent de
clared, “his condition did not change
and I appealed to the authorities in!
Tallahassee to conduct an examina-j
tinn.”
Authority for the examination was |
granted and the three- physicians,
met at the state prison farm last!
Sunday. After questioning the pris
oner for several hours, the physi
cians signed a. statement that in their
opinion the prisoner was insane aau I
should be committed to the asylum. ;
McDowell, who. according to the!
authorities, confessed that he burn-)
ed his two sisters to death at Deca-1
tur, Ga., about two years ago, and j
later killed his mother and father ..s
they slept, was convicted in St. I
Petersburg last June on the specific |
charge of slaying his mother. The
jury recommended mercy and he was I
sent to prison for life.
Specialists in mental diseases who
! testified at the trial on behalf of the ,
! defense, declared that McDowell was
a sufferer from dementia praecox
and that he was in an incurable con- !
dition. They said he had but a few !
years to livfc. His mind, they con
tinued, was in such a state at the i
time of the crimes that he was ir- I
responsible. Other physicians, who ;
! took the stand for the state, stated, !
! however, that such was not the
( case.
McDowell attacked Dr. Chalker
! about a month ago with a bed slat.
! Before the physician could wrest the
! slat from the prisoner's hands, he
! was struck on the head several
! times, causing a number of slight
! abrasions. Five prisoners overpow
! ered McDowell and he was put into
a strait jacket.

Elaborate Ceremony

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Presi-
I dent Coolidge was asked in a resolu
tion adopted Friday by the Mer
i chants’ and Manufacturers’ associa
tion, of Washington, to authorize an

: that will do the highest possible

i the United States.
The attitude of Mr. Coolidge to
ward the historic event, made known
I several days ago, is that while he
I favors an inaugural ceremony con
j forming generally in simplicity sim-
I liar to that held for President Har

FLORIDA GOVERNOR r
HIT FOR DEW
WORROEDRmOE
WEST BALM J3EACM, Fla., Nov. '
28.—Declaring the water level in
Lake Okeechobee is higher than at
any time since the October flood, '
and that flood waters still standing
are doing great damage to the. Ever
glades section, W. J. Conners, rnil-|'
lionaire glades developer, in an ad- |
dress to the chamber of commerce j 1
directors, attacked the policy of j
Governor Cary A. Hardee and other ;
state officials, in regard to the prob- I
Jem of draining the Everglades, as I
one ot mismanagement.
“Governor Hardee has a personal i
ambition to leave no new state debts '
standing when he retires from of
fice on January 4,” Mr. Conners,
said. “For that reason he refuses 1
to permit the Arundel Dredging
company, in charge of work at St.
Lucie Canal, to do more than $75,000
worth of work per month—the ex- I
tent cf the appropriation.
“This policy is doing great dam- I
age, for at this rate of expenditure, |
the dredging company can make but I
little progress, and it is estimated i
that nearly a year will be required
before the interior can be relieved .
through re-establishment of a water !
flow in the St. Lucie canal. If the i
Arundel company could have Ahe
governor’s permission to rush The !
work, they would carry the extra I
costs on their books until the state ,
could pay for it, but would be able
to complete the work in three
months.
“More than 2,000,000 cubic yards
of sand have bene deposited in St.
Lucie canal recently, so that its
drainage capacity is practically nil.
