BIDING PUBLIC
STRUCTURES
House Committee Raps Depart
ment. Charging Extravagance
and. Possible Fraud.
WASHINGTON. July 20.—Extrava
gance, waste and possible fraud are the
points of criticism made in the report
of the house committee on expendi
tures hi public buildings which has jus’
been submitted to the house. The
lonimittec says it went into the build
ing department probe without any plan
to fli'iover any scandal.
The committee makes the recom
mendation that government buildings
he standardized and endeavors to put
out chat it considers the folly of main
taining i big force of draughtsmen and
architects to make plans for, every
building constructed by the govern
ment. The report finds that since 1902.
721 buildings have been erected and
that there are pending bills for 750
mme at a proposed aggregate cost of
$70,000,000.
“If this keeps up," the committee
>ays. "there will, be 1,520 public build
ings inside of fifteen years." The cost
of maintenance alone will be $11,000,000
annually.
Ihe office of the supervising archi
tect of the treasury is criticised. This
"thee is maintained at an annual cost
"f $3,000,000. It has had no definite
folicy, the committee finds, and blame
is attached to former Supervising Ar
chitect James Knox Taylor for some
mistakes discovered.
I he committee urges congressmen be
zealous in efforts to get public
buildings for their districts and reeom
""-nds legislation making it illegal to
erect a public building in any city less
ran 5.000 inhabitants or whose post
effiee takes in less than SIO,OOO annual
' Ihe practice of employing outside
1' hitects is condemned.

COTTON MEN ffl
REFORMS ABROAD
Changes in Methods of Arbi
trating Claims Urged in Res
olutions at Conference.
NEW YORK. July 20.—At a meeting
of representatives of 41 cotton ex
changes of the country at the New
Yoik Cotton Exchange here a change
in present methods tu=ed by foreign
cotton exchanges in aroitrating claims
growing out of cotton shipments abroad,
looking to more equitable treatment of
American interests, was strongly rec
ommended.
Resolutions were adopted setting
forth the i eforms desired by the Ameri
can cotton exchanges, and these reso
lutions were sent to the Liverpool Cot
ton association and to the Bremen anti
Havre cotton exchanges for considera
tion. George W. Neville, president of
the New York Cotton Exchange, who is
to sail for Europe next week, was au
thorized to use his efforts while abroad
to bring about a conference of all Eu
ropean and American exchanges early
in 1913 in an endeavor to arrive at some
working agreement in time for the
crop of 1913-14.
The resolutions regarding the pro
posed reforms in arbitration follow:
Want Experts on Committees.
That Liverpool, Bremen and Havre
arbitration appeal committees, to be
composed of salaried employees of such
exchanges, who shall be expert cotton
classers. shall give their entire time to
such work and have no other interest
in any way connected with cotton.
Unless otherwise stipulated in the
contract, arbitration on quality should
be conducted on the basis of official
differences ruling in the respective re
ceiving markets on the dates of sale.
Application for arbitration to be
dated and sealed, arbitration samples
sent to arbitration committee within
ten days of last date of landing.
An arbitration must be held within
twenty days of the date of application.
That Havre be requested to adopt the
Liverpool and Bremen method of du
plicate sealed samples. That present
ruling of allowing three points for dif
ferences between American uncom
pressed samples and foreign redrawn
compressed samples be changed to an
allowance of one-quarter of middling
and above, and one-half grade on
grades below middling: same to be de
ducted from any award made and not
tb be considered in making the award.
Standardization Asked.
We recommend that all cotton in
terests work toward the standardiza
tion of classification Os American cot
ton of ail growths, which shall be
world-wide.
That in all cases when any ship
ments are tared by the receiver, if uo
excess tare is established, all taring
charges must he paid by the receiver,
including the seller's supervision ex
penses.
That examination of bales for excess
tare must be conducted at the time of
weighing said bales, and that in
weighing the tare allowance must he
made for any moisture therein
That where cotton is armttated arc’
penalties assessed in addition to the
grade differences the seller shall have
the option of accepting rejection and
replacing in receiving markets within
markets which quality sold.
The shipper shall not be required to
pay any arbitration fees except where
ihe allowances exceed double th'
amount of such fees.
Up and Doion
Peachtree
Recorder Broyles
Does Hat Marathon.
These summer blasts, like time, tide
and ticket takers, are no respecters of
persons, as was well proven when
Judge Broyles lost his lid in a gust
that swept the street yesterday after
noon.
The new had scarcely worn from the
hat when he fared forth Into the ele
ments. It was firmly thatched of Cu
ban straw and was surrounded by a
lavender hand wjiich, while not loud,
was not the judge's usual judicial col
or. No doubt the fanciful breeze after
blowing through flower beds ami
scented parlors was taken with this
gentle, appealing color.
In any event, the hat was caught and
swept up Peachtree, dancing here and
there with an intelligence that seemed
almost human. The broad sweep.of a
blue dress almost stopped it. but it
dodged to one side and continued its
wild career. Meanwhile the judge was
in hot pursuit, making frantic stabs
with his umbrella.
Leaving, the sidewalk, the lavender
lid swept into the street. A burly ne
gro was standing in the gutter. The
hat i-olled against his feet and stopped.
The negro looked down, and then
looked back. Upon seeing Judge Broyles
and the haste he was making, the ne
gro let out a whoop and started up the
street himself. He evidently was mis
taken in the object of the judge’s
chase. This and the memory of sev
eral unpunished peccadillos gave him
the legs of the wind—and. once more
the lavender lid merrily rolled away.
There is no telling what would have
happened had not a small newsboy
joined the chase. His arms being a lit
tle nearer the ground than the judge's,
he was able by means of a swift de
tour and a sudden dip to rescue the
hat just as it was going into the side
entrance of the Piedmont hotel. The
,bat today looks chipper as ever and
the same appealing lavender is there
un faded.
There is some talk, however, of hav
ing charges preferred against the judge
for exceeding the speed limit.

PACKERS' TRUST
PLANS TO 00IT
Actual Steps Toward Dissolu
tion of National Packing
Company Are Taken.
CHICAGO, July* 20.—Thar actual
steps in the dissolution ot the National
Packing Company have begun became
known today. The 350 companies held
by the National are beitc; assigned to
the three principal owners of the Na
tional, the Armour, Morris and Swift
interests. Mailing of a printed notice
to the department managers of the Ar
mour company, notifying them that 46
of the National subsidiaries had been
assigned to the Armour interests, have
become public.

through which the beef trust has been
operated. The dissolution of this com

to prevent the filing of a dissolution
suit and another long legal battle in
the Federal courts, for the dissolution
which was decided on after the recent
trial of the heads of the beef trust for
alleged violation of the Sherman law.
The beef barons were then notified that
the attorney general was preparing a
dissolution suit. They agreed to volun
tarily dissolution.
Company Managers Notified.
The notice sent to the Armour man
agers follows:
Armour & Co's, apportionment

ing houses will be. taken over and
