PRICE IM! NOT I
GET SEAT SOON
Opinion Is He Can Not Take
Soil Commissioner's Office
Before Next June.
The election of James D. Price to be
commissioner of agriculture gave rise i
today to a heated discussion in the |
state capitol as to when he would begin j
hie term. The general opinion is that
he can not take office until after the
legislature canvasses the returns, which
will be at the opening of the session
next June, giving him office about
July 1.
The question is rather a tangled one,
and the attorney general may be called |
upon for a special decision in the mat- I
ter. If a contest is made, Governor
Brown may find himself in an embar
rassing position, as J. J. Connor, the in
cumbent, is a Brown appointee, and Mr.
Price, commissioner-elect, is also a
close friend and supporter of the gov
ernor
When Mr. Connor was appointed to
fill the unexpired term of Tom Hudson,
his commission was written to read
"to serve until the expiration of the
term or until his successor is elected
and qualified." The question hinges on
the word “qualified."
Mr. Price will be elected formally at
the October regular election. He might
then qualify, his friends hold, by pre
senting himself to the governor to be
sworn in. But Mr. Connor's friends
quote the Georgia code and a ruling of
the attorney general to show that he
can not qualify until next June.
The act creating the commissioner of
agriculture specified that he should be
elected the same as the governor and
other constitutional officers. Under
this ruling, the returns electing Mr,
Price can only be canvassed by the leg
islature. The legislature will not meet
until next June. If this is accepted as
the correct view. Air. Price can not take
his seat before about July 1, IHI3.

INSANE WOMAN
MENACES TAFT
Arrested Trying to Give Presi
dent “Sacred Knife” at Co
lumbus Centenary.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Aug. 29.—A
woman about 45 years old and believed
to be insane, was arrested this morning
at the Southern hotel as she tried to
enter an elevator in which President
Taft was ascending tj go to breakfast.
She gave the name of Carolyn Beers, of
Greenville, Ohio, and told the police
she wanted to give the president a “sa
cred knife.”
The woman had been seen about the
Southern hotel Wednesday and when
she attempted to enter the elevator was
seized by detectives.
“I am the president’s wife,” she told
the detectives, “and I am following him
to see that he is true to me. I have a
sacred knife which I am going to give
him,”
The woman was rushed to the city
prison by the detectives in an automo
bile and when searched by the matron
two ordinary pocket knives were found
in the bosom of her dress. She contin
ued to ramble and said that she had
seen Taft at the Gibson house in Cin
cinnati last fall and that he had then
told her to go home and stay with her
daughter. She persisted in her declar
ation that she was the president's wife
and to quiet her the chief told her he
would have the president visit her at
the prison.
Thousands Greet President.
Taft arrived here on the Pennsyl
vania railroad at 8 o’clock this morn
ing and was given a military escort
through High street to the Southern
hotel, where he was received by Mayor
George A. Karb, members of the Ohio
Columbus Centennial commission and
distinguished guests. After informal
greetings had been extended the presi
dent and his party had breakfast at the
hotel. Thousands of Centennial visitors
lined the streets and cheered the presi
dent as his automobile whirred by.
Today was Federal day of the Cen
tennial, with President Taft the guest
of honor.
In his address at the fair grounds
President Taft defended his use of the
veto and attacked most of the so-called
progressive measures as “nostrums.’
He did not mention the measures
specifically, although he declared that
the trouble with the men who advo
cated them was that "they wanted to
place reforms into effect by tomorrow
morning's breakfast."
"That Is not the way nations grow,”
declared the president. "They grow
by years and decades and mere change
is not necessarily progress. If we de
sire to make certain progress we must
move step by step and with the utmost,
care.”
Defends His Vetoes.
Referring to his recent vetoes he
said he only did what his conscience
forced him to do.
"When you take a Democratic house,
a senate that isn't anything and a Re
publican president,” said Taft, "the
veto is likely to be used.
"I used it only moderately. If you
will review the history of vetoes In this
country you will find out that most of
them have been for the good."
The president then recalled the in
stance of President Grant vetoing the
bill providing for the Issuance of green
backs and said that "our sound finances
today were traced directly from that
veto."
Most of the president’s speech was
devoted to a historical review of the
growth of Columbus and Ohio. He re
ferred to the government's activity in
advancing scientific agriculture.
He was introduced by Dr. Thompson,
president of the state fair association
The audience of 10,000 people received
the address cordially, but no enthusi
asm was manifested.

COTTON RECEDES
IN CLOSING HOUR
Heavy Realizing Sends Prices
Down After Dull and Stag
nant Session.
NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—A covering
movement at the opening of the cotton
market today caused prices to open un
changed to 2 points above last night s
close. After the call prices moved up 5
to 6 points A report was current that
the National Ginners association made
the condition in the cotton growing states
74.8, which the trade construed as bull
ish. The movement lacked aggressive
ness. however, and prices soon fell off.
Cordill. in his report, gives a very good
account of the Atlantic states. His re
port follows:
"Atlantics as a whole show steady and
uninterrupted improvement for the month
of August."
Spot interests have been noticeable sell
ers throughout the day. while the ring
speculators and commission houses have
been free buyers. Some ; Wall street
houses were at times buyers also. This
coterie of speculators boosting the staple
through their aggressiveness prices were
firmly maintained around the early range
throughout the late forenoon trading and
afternoon session. This bulk of trading is
believed to be evening up the market for
the holidays. Late during the afternoon
trading October was steady and un
changed from the first figures, also De
cember. Crop reports continue favorable
anil sentiments generally are very bear
ish.
Heavy liquidation prevailed during the
last half hour of trading by local profes
sionals, causing a backward movement in
prices, and at the close the market was
easy, with prices a net decline of 8 to 12
points from the final quotations of Wed
nesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 29.—Support in
New York in the last hours yestqrday
was stimulated, it appears, by unfounded
rumors of storm. Though absolutely no
indications of any disturbance. On the
contrary, a strong cool wave is coming on
the belt in the next few days and will
cause general rains and cooler weather In
the western and north central belt. The
map shows very favorable conditions,
warm weather, fair in middle belt, cloudy
in northern belt and gulf districts. No
rain, except some in southeast Texas and
middle gulf coast. Liverpool was steadier
today with futures and spots 4 points up;
sales 6.000 bales.
New York reports say that leading spot
interests are the principal sellers, while
the buying is to cover shorts before the
holidays and speculative on the part of
a few strong operators.
Our market opened about 8 points up
to meet the advance In other markets.
Selling is restricted to the holidays and a
disposition to cover before bureau publi
cation. The market is consequently easier
to sustain.
Spots here are still remarkably quiet,
particularly if compared with the active
inquiry this time last year.

NEWS AND GOSSIP;
Os the Fleecy Staple I
NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: The Journal of Commerce, in
its condition report of the growing cot
ton crops in Tennessee, Florida and Ala - i
bama. shows the following conditions:
Tennessee—Condition has advanced I
during the month, but prospects are not [
as good as a year ago. when percentage
condition was 83.4. The plant is medium ’
size, strong and well fruited, and fields
are in good state of cultivation. A few
sections, however, complain of grass, but
I the whole state is remarkably free of
Insects. The season is two to three weeks
backward, but with a late frost a good
crop will be made.
Florida—Percentage condition has about
! held its own during the month, excessive
rains have been detrimental, but with
no further setback a fair yield is ex
i pected.
I Alabama—Under very favorable weath
er conditions cotton has shown a decided
Improvement over a month ago. The
plant is strong and healthy, and full of
fruit, and fields are generally well cul
tivated and in good condition. Rainfall
I has been plentiful. Worms, however, are
. beginning to appear, but as yet have
done but little damage. The season Is
two to three weeks late, and hot and dry
, weather is needed to hasten maturity.
The Journal of Commerce says: "No
I stronger confirmation of the reported low
' condition ot cotton goods stocks at mill
I centers could be had than the way mill
agents declined to accept additional or
| ders for quick delivery on several lines
| of merchandise."
Dallas wires: "Texas—Generally clear
and warm. Oklahoma—<Pona City cloudy;
threatening in northern portion, partly
cloudy; balance clear.
New Orleans said to be good seller here.
McFadden, Mitchell. Gwathmey, Hicks,
Jr., and Lehman were fair buyers, while
Black. Lipper. Rothschild, Springs, Gu
moens and Weld were the best sellers.
The market was very narrow today but
steady. Some scattered buying was done,
but very little cotton was for sale.
Next Friday will be the first Septem
ber notice day.
Following are 11 a m. bids: October
10.9< December 11.08, January 10«95,
March 11.07. •
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29. The weath
er map shows absolutely no signs of any
storm. All storm rumors are inventions
to affect market. Prospects, however,
are good for rain in southern half of Tex
as in near future. Indications for un
settled. s’howery, cooler weather coming
on north Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas;
prospects also for further showers in
south Texas and middle Gulf coast dis
tricts; partly cloudy to fair in the in
terior of central and Atlantic states.
Rainfall in Galveston .24, New Orleans
.66, Mobile .42. Houston .16.
Savannah announces a plus correction
in stock of 6,587 bales.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Further advices from Texas encouraged
; the talent to expect a somew’hat higher
i condition percentage from the government
j on September 3 than many operators have
l been looking for, and while the moderate
I crop people adhered to their belief in a
; yield well under 14.000,000 bales, they all
i seWmed to recognize the probable shift
of sentiment and acted accordingly. Day
after day the market works downward
- and speculators appear willing enough to
I sell all the contracts the trade can use
as hedges. Consequently, confidence in
I lower markets spreads ratler than
shrinks. At the moment there are no
[genuine bulls on the market; that is, no
' body seems to think rallies us inipor
i tance will occur In the Immediate future.
1 But there, are many men who sincerely
believe the crop is being overestimated
and trade underestimated, and these
men are more convinced every day that
I sellers will sell themselves Into a hole
I Just as they did last year.

overnight news affecting the stock market
