BMMLLTO PASS IN SENATE Fight for Measure Long Advo cated by Governors and Treasurers Partly Won. Reform in the Georgia banking laws long agitated by governors and state treasurers was accomplished in part today when the voluminous bank bill, approved by the joint banking com mission. was assured passage in the senate. The upper house adopted a mass of amendments changing various phases of the machinery of the new law. but the bill as drawn by the inter-session commission will be altered but slightly in its important provisions. The Increase tn the number of bank examine: s and the divorcing of the treasury and banking departments de manded by depositors and banks alike, form the chief feature of the act. A department of banking with carefully delegated powers and duties is created. Not the least important feature of the W’l is a provision giving the superin tendent of banks power to investigate the incorporation and administration of all state banks. Creates Important Office. Briefly, the bill creates the office of superintendent of banking. This offi cial is in be appointed for four years by the govt mor at a salary of $3,600 an nually.

Incorporation papers of banks shall lie certified to by the banking commis sioner before they shall become legal and tile bank superintendent shall have power to enforce the payment of pledges for stock. Rigid provisions of liability on the part of stockholders and directors are provided and banks are prohibited absolutely from loaning more than 30 per cent of capital so: the collateral to a single corporation Severe penalties are attached to a banks failure to comply with the bill's provisions, such as refusing to report, falsely representing capital stock, ae epting deposits after the point of in solvency is reached, concealing loans tnd borrowing by officers and directors.

Lanford. chief of detectives, and \V. 1). Ellis, counsel for the detective department, there is no accusation of any kind today against Judge George E. Gober, of the law firm of Gober & Jackson, in connection with the recovery of jewels said to be a part of those stolen in the famous dia ptond trunk mystery. The case came up for hearing be fore Justice Ridley, but at the request of the detectives was continued until Wednesday. August 14. in order that a witness might be brought from Phila delphia. John Tye, counsel for Judge Gober, declared that it was his client's desire that the case be taken up at once, that he might be exonerated of the charges, in view of sensational publi cations. and particularly an unfounded reflection on a member of his family. He maintained that Judge Gober had no connection with the case. John D. Kilpatrick, attorney for Mr. Jackson, said that Judge Gober had no connection with the ease. W. D. Ellis. Jr., acting for the city, insisted on con tinuing the case, but announced in open court that no charge lay against Judge Gober. Chief Lanford stated also that it was not at his instance that the name of Judge Gober had appeared in the public prints. The jewels were not taken from Judge Gober's office. They were in a safe in the office of Mr. Jackson.

HEffi SELLING LOWERS COTTON Big Professionals and the Ring Crowd Liquidate—No Sup port to the Market. NEW' YORK, Aug. 7. In response to weak cables and further rains in Texas the cotton market opened today at a de cline of 5 to 13 points, but soon rallied, as ; shorts were large buyers for profit. Aside * from this demand, however, the market I appeared to have little support, as New. Orleans and other Southern interests were ; sellers after the call and the list gradual ly worked back again to the opening level Commission houses and the ring scalp ers continued to sell during the afternoon session, also the South was reported to have sold heavily. However, the bull prices and Liverpool bought and through their aggressiveness prices were firmly maintained with October rising from 12.07 to 12.27. December rallied from 12.17 to 12.33. January followed the advance close ly Prices throughout the list showed an advance of 9 to 17 points above the open ing figures. It was rumored late yester day that the ring crowd and certain large interests would support the market on further declines. This seemed to have came true. It is believed that the general public is building up a short interest in the market, and in this case it vill take little to cause a futher rally in prices. During the last hour of trading a re newed selling wave prevailed over the market led by big professionals and the ring crowd, closing the day’s session with prices* showing a net decline of 3 to 4 points from the final quotations of Tues day Warehouse stocks in New York today 100.941; certificated 91.716.

HAYWARD & CLARK S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 7 The weekly weather report yesterday said that rain was needed in the central and eastern states and in central Oklahoma. Well, the state of Oklahoma had good general rains, particularly in the central portion, over night, ami there are good indica tions for general rains in Arkansas in the next 24 hours, and general showers in the central and eastern states. The rains in the northern half of Texas wore caused by the cool wave and as this has passed out over the Atlantic, prospects for rain | in the southern half of Texas have rather diminished for today at least. It will be warmer except in the Atlantic's, where temperatures will remain stationary. Liverpol came in weak with futures as much as 12 points lower and spots 25 points lower. A cable said: “Temporary rally possible." Labor unrest all over the manufacturing world may play an Impor tant part during the coming season. Now York advises: “All mills Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company. Adams, Mass., closed today as result of weavers’ strike which is spreading. Twenty-three mills •at Puebla. Mexico, closed down; 15,000 i textile workers struck." Opening a few points lower on the poor I Liverpool, the market rallied on good sup- I port, some of whicn was on the theory of a reaction after a big decline, and some on the diminished rain reports 5 n the southwestern quarter of the belt.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat's summary: Yesterday's cotton market de cline was a whirlwind finish to the bear ish brainstorm, according to the bulls. According to the bears, it folded up bull ish hope for the near future like a punc tured accordion from which no more music will come. Both views can not be correct, consequently a bit of cold logic in the heat of the fray may help solve the riddle. Splendid rains have fallen over the greater portion of Texas, and moder ate to light rains have fallen over the greater portion of the remainder of the state. The hope and the fear of the cot ton man usually has its rise in Texas, hence in the minds of a majority of trad ers the menace of drouth has now been replaced by the promise of Ideal growing and fruiting conditions during the criti cal month of August. I'nder the stress of the moment, when bearish sentiment has the right of way, only a few students of the crop seem to remember that all season the basis of buHish crop expectation has been thV be- ' lief that no matter how favorable the weather, the plant as a rule has its in creption under sufficiently adverse con ditions to handicap its fruiting and ma turing ability, but the re-exploitation of such beliefs must await the coming of I bad weather or a keen spot demand be fore the talent will give it ear. Texas needed rain, and it has received rain enough in some sections to suggest the accumulation of season in the ground for next year. Nevertheless the government promised fair weather in Texas and for that reason longs have persisted In their refusal to credit possibly exaggerated private rain reports, until fully confirmed by the government.
