17 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. CAC FOR POLICE IS ROUSE BILL Measure Bars Them From Making Public Evidence Against Crim inals Except Under Oath. An echo of the charges made during the early stages of the Phagan case, that the Investigation of the mystery was hampered by too much public ity given the evidence and the move ments of the detectives, is heard in a bill introduced in the House Tues day morning by Representative D. P. ,y Methvln, of Clayton County. Mr. Methvin’s bill prohibits detec tives, sheriffs and all other officers from giving out evidence obtained against criminals or supposed crimi nals, except under oath. The bill per mits the giving of such evidence to the prosecuting attorney or the lead ing counsel for the defense, but ex- >4. pressly prohibits detectives and oth- ’ er officers from giving any evidence to the general public. The bill provides a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $1,000, or im prisonment, for violation of the law. The introduction of the bill aroused considerable discussion in the lobbies of the House. The general impres sion appears to be that the bill will meet with opposition, and it is not considered likely to pass. Friends of the measure declare it is designed to remedy such conditibns as arose dur ing the Phagan case, when evidence obtained by the detectives was often published before it was reported to their superiors. Other important bills introduced in the House Tuesday morning follow: By Smith, of Fulton—Relative to the custody and control of minor chil dren, and to provide under what cir cumstances they shall be awarded to the mother, and under what circum stances to the father. By Slaten, of Bryan—To provide for the employment of a limited num ber of convicts upon trunk line pub lic roads. By Slater, of Bryan, and Methvin, of Dodge—A bill to enjoin and re strain the keepers of lewd houses, and to declare such houses a nui sance. By Greene, of Houston—To provide ^ for the establishing of a school of agriculture. By Crawley and Cooper—To amend Section 129, Vol 1, of the Code, to provide early primary elections, not later than June 15. By Clarke and Pierce—To repeal Sections 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 433 and 434 of the Code of 1910, relating to the manufacture and sale of intoxicants.

Representative Kahn Demands Facts in Delay of Caminetti- • Diggs Cases. WASHINGTON, July 29.—In a speech bristling with criticism of the actions of the administration in the Caminetti-Diggs white slave cases. Representative Julius Kahn, a Cali fornia Republican, to-day in the House called on the Attorney Gen eral for information regarding the postponed trial of these cases. “The administration has not come out of this controversy with honor and credit,” said Kahn. He declared there was abundant evidence of “pull” in both the white slave and Western Fuel cases. Kahn concluded his speecn saying: ‘Instead of having been blamed and condemned, McNab should have been commended by the President. The President has done just what McNab wanted done, but how is it to be done? By special counsel, who will be paid large fees for doing the very thing that the United States Attorney would have performed as a matter of du^y. “The Department of Justice above all others must be above suspicion. It has long been believed by the masses that there is one kind of law for the rich and the politically pow erful in this country and another kind of law for the poor and weak. The action of the Department of Jus tice in the Caminetti-Diggs cases and the Western Fuel cases would seem to stamp this charge as true.” Lipscombe Measure Is Taken Up in Sections as the Special Order of Business. The first active steps toward tax reform in Georgia were taken by the House Tuesday morning, when the consideration of the Lipscombe bill, which creates a State and County Boards of Tax Equalizers was begun. The bill, together with amendments offered by the Ways and Means Committee and by members from the floor of the House, was made a spe cial order of the day, and was taken up by sections. The work of perfecting the bill probably will not be completed for several days. Though there were several lively skirmishes to-day, in one of which Speaker Burwell saved a section of the bill, as amended by the committee, by voting aye, oppo nents of the measure will reserve their heavy fire until the bill comes up for passage. This is not ex pected until the latter part of the week. Three Members on Board. The Lipscombe bill, as amended by the Ways and Means Committee, pro vides that the State board shall con sist of three members appointed by the Governor for two, four and six- year terms. An amendment offered by Moon, of Troup, that the Gover nor appoint: one members from North Georgia, one from South Georgia and one from Central Georgia, was adopt ed. The county board shall consist of thr«f members appointed by the judge of the Superior Court of the county, upon recommendation of the Board of County Commissioners. The only fight of any consequence that developed during the considera tion of the bill came when section 12, providing for a secretary for the board, was read. The Ways and Means Committee amended the orig inal hill, which provided for a sec retary at $2,000 a year by striking the entire section and substituting a pro vision that the Comptroller General should be secretary of the board at no salary at all. Half a dozen amendments were offered by mem bers from the floor. Secretary Given $500 Salary. After much discussion, amendments offered by Representatives Fullbright. Miller and Wimberly were adopted. Mr. Fullbright’s amendment provid ed for the employment of secretary at a salary of $500 a year: Mr. Wim berly’s and Mrs. Miller’s amendment made the Comptroller General an ex- officio member of the board, to act in an advisory capacity without a vote. FFifteen sections of the bill were adopted Tuesday. The remaining seven will be considered Wednesday, after which the bill will be placed upon its passage. Trains Collide in Fog; Brakeman Dead VALDOSTA, July 29.—In a head- on collision between freight trains on the Georgia Southern and Florida Railroad, 21 miles north of here, to day Henry Castello, a negro brake- man, was instantly killed. The other members of the crews jumped and none was seriously hurt, except En gineer Mann, who had an ankle broken. The collision took place during a fog and, It is said, was caused by the operator at Adel misunderstanding orders and failing to hold the south bound train. The two locomotives and thirteen loaded cars were demol ished. Army Paymaster Liable for $86,510 WASHINGTON. July 29.—Captain R. C. Williams, U. S. A. paymaster at Olongapo, P. I., personally is lia ble to the Government for $86,510.84 until he presents receipts and evi dences that he paid out this amount.

NEW YORK, July 29.—Because the weather map failed to show any mois ture in Texas or indications that any would be expected in the near future, cotton this morning opened steady, with first prices at a net advance of 3 to 6 points higher than Monday’s final. Sentiment was less bearish, and quite an active covering movement devel oped at the start. Later the market eased off sharply in response to aoiiv<> selling by the uptown crowd and Wail Street brokers. Declines aggregated 3 to 5 points from the initial level, or practically unchanged from the pre vious close. The trade witnessed a repetition of the sensational flurry in July during the forenoon, when sudden liquidation prevailed. This option dropped from 11.85 to 11.71, “nothing between,” and immediately jumped back to the for mer quotation, “nothing between,’ and increased its gain to 11.94. Tne phenomenal strength and activity in that option, as well as other posi tions, was attributed chiefly to heavy absorption by large spot houses, and covering short commitments by recent sellers, coupled with a Liverpool ca ble saying offerings were light and sohrts running to cover. Advances in other positions aggregated 2 to 9 points over the previous close within the first two hours.

July 29.—Apart from the absence of rain In the southern half of Texas, the map shows favorable con ditions. The most favorable develop ments were the let-up In the heavy rainfall in the Central and Eastern States, where a spell of comparatively dry weather is desired in order to pro duce the best results. There were only a few light showers overnight in Ok lahoma and the Atlantics, generally fair weather is shown in Texas and Okla homa. Northwest Texas, Amarillo, had .72 inch of rain. Indications are for generally fair weather in the West, except possibly some cloudiness over Northwest Texas and Western Oklahoma. Part cloudy in the Central and Eastern States, with a few scattered showers. Houston, Texas, to-day officially re- orded the receipt of six new bales of cotton, making receipts to date 31 new, against 13 last year. This supports the contention that, owing to the uniformity of crop development, the movement of new cotton will increase much more rapidly this year when once started. Our markets showed indecision, opin ions varying as to whether to act on the bullish weather conditions in the West, or to expect a bearish effect from the increase in the new movement reflected by the Houston receipts. First trades were at an advance of 3 to 5 points, which was soon lost. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Cotton quotations: I r 1 » 1:30 1 Prev. (OpeniHigh | Low|P.M.| Close. I [11.70 July Aug. flept. Oct. Nov.

Norden & Co.: In such a weather market it seems useless to express any opinion. Logan & Rryan: We do not think that present conditions are of a nature to promote bullish activity at this time. Atwood, Violett & Co.: Advantage should be taken of all strong spots to sell on. COTTON SEED OIL. NEW YORK. July 29.—The cotton seed oli market was partly lower at the start, but soon rallied on the strength of crude at the South, covering In new crop months and scattered local buying. The market has ruled very steady all day on buying from the some sources as yesterday. Brokers representing spot interests have been principal buyers. Selling has come from the uptown crowd and Wall street apparently. The market is narrow’, with transactions small. Until further weather develop ments prevail a narrow market is looked for with an upward tendency.— Anderson. Pell interests were credited with buy ing considerable cotton yesterday on the decline, covering shorts and prob ably going long on the belief that a large portion of Texas Is in a had way. Riordan purchases supposedly for the above Arm were in the. neighbor hood of 35,000 bales. Liverpool was a large seller. * * • Neil Bros., of London, in their latest circular maintain their estimate of 14. 750,000 bales as the actual consumption of American cotton for the present season. This estimate was made pub lie the latter part of October, 1912. • • • The market is extremely sensitive to all reports and did a lot of nervous flopping around. * * • The change is the attitude of the Exchange Place house yesterday did not seem to attract outside buying of consequence, probably because crop conditions as a whole are considered excellent. • • * An increased trade demand for con tracts is reported on a scale down. • * * Further rains in the Western section would undoubtedly bring out heavy sales from Wall Street and the South. It seems purely a weather market now and will be influenced accordingly. • * • The New York Journal of Commerce has the following on the condition of the cotton crops in Tennessee, Louisi ana and Arkansas: "Tennessee—Prospects for cotton are better than for many years. The plant Is strong and well fruited, with a good stand and free from insects. Fields are clean and well cultivated. A few localities are needing rain, but as a rule precipitation has been ample. Per centage condition is considerably lilgh- "er than a month ago, when it was 82.7. The season is about normal, though some correspondents report it earlier than usual. ‘Louisiana—Owing to drouth and the almost universal presence of the boll weevil, percentage condition appears to have lost a few points from lain month, when it was 80.6, but the prospects are better than a year ago. when condi tion was 74.7. Otherwise, prospects for a large crop are excellent and the outturn depends largely upon the suc cess of the fight against the boll weevil. The plant is strong and healthy, with a fair stand and good fruitage. ‘Arkansas—Cotton has maintained its rather high percentage condition of a month ago, when it w’as 85.4 and 77.7 a year ago. The plant is of good size, with fair stands and fruiting rath er heavily. Cultivation and condition of the fields are unusually fine and a number of correspondents look for the biggest crop in years. The only draw back has been the hot dry weather, which has checked growth and fruit ing. Damage from boll weevil Is very slight and the crop is very free from other insect pests.” * * ♦ Dallas wires: "Texas and Oklahoma, clear and hot.” * * * NEW ORLEANS. July 29.—Haywood & Clark: The weather map shows fair over Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas shows rising temperatures. No rain, except .72 at Amarillo, cloudy ovter Central and Eastern States to light showers in Alabama, Louisiana, Flor ida and South Carolina. Map favor able owing to less rain in the Central and Eastern States, but unfavorable owing to absence of rain in the lower half of Tlexas. Indications point to generally fair weather over the West ern Statas. except possibly cloudy in Northwest Texas and Western Okla homa: part cloudy to fair in the Cen tral and Eastern States, possibly few scattered showers there. » • * Rainfall: Amarillo, Texas. .72; Mont gomery, Ala., .22.; Augusta, Ga.. .24; Jacksonville, Fla. 1.64: Birmingham, Ala., .01; Macon, Ga., .08; Anniston, Ala., .02. * • * The New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat says: “Mondays cotton market had digested reports showing continued dry weather in Central Texas, which pro duces the bulk of the crop of the Lone Star State. It also had to discount the market effect of probable higher temperatures In that section. Hence the steady tone ond higher range In values. The talent is fully aware of the fact that rain relief did not reach North and West Texas in time to figure in the data .gathered on July 25 for the government crop condition report, which- will be promulgated on August 1. It is also convinced that the official instructions to government agents to watch out for weevil damage will result In some Bureau utterances that will aid the bulls rather than the bears. “Under the circumstances the rings were inclined to think the decline had gone far enough for the present, and that a moderate upward reaction was in order. Meanwhile, optimistic opin ions as to the crop promise reach the rings in numbers every day. On the other hand, Texas is not offering new crop cotton in anything like the volume usual at this time of year, and expor ters are beginning to believe that Texas contribution of new cotton during August will be comparatively small, probably very much smaller than that of last year, according to one of them In normal seasons this Is the time when consumers and importers in America sell specific grades and weights in vol ume for delivery' in October, December. January and March. Such business, of course, generally trading In contracts, with the speculator supplying the dif ference between the long and the short hedges required by the trade.” MERCHANTS BUYING COTTON GOODS FOR SPRING DELIVERY Marshall Field & Co., In their week ly review of the dry goods trade say: “The dry goods business of the w’eek has held about even with that of the same period a year ago Our repre sentatives again on the road after their vacations are finding buyers ready to consider lines for spring delivery in a conservative way “Crop conditions inspire confidence in mercantile operations. especially throughout the principal corn growing States. Exceptionally good reports are received from the State of Iowa. The oats crop has benefited by timely rains in some sections. “Collections continue about normal. “A healthful tendency is noted in that there is an increasing demand for the better grades of merchandise. “The steady, normal volume of daily shipments indicates low stocks and a ‘hand-to-mouth’ policy of buying among readers generally.” THE WEATHER.

July 29 —Mean tem peratures ranged from 1 to 3 degrees below normal, except In the Central and Southern portions of Texas, and middle and Hast Tennessee, where there wag an excess ranging from 1 to 3 degrees Weekly mean temperatures rangd from 72 to 84 degrees over the Eastern, from 78 to 82 over the Central, and from 82 to 86 over the Western portion of the cotton region. The lowest weekly mean temperature. 72 degrees, occurred at Asheville, N. C., and the highest, 86, occurred at San Antonio and Tayor, Texas. Precipitation qpeurred generally over the cotton region, except that there was none in parts of "Central and Southern Texas and at a few stations In North western Oklahoma. More than 2 Inches of rain fell during the week over the greater portion of the East Gulf and South Atlantic States, In Southern Louisiana, at a few stations in Arkan sas, North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma. The greatest weekly amount, 6.20 inches, occurred at Donaldsonville. La., and there was more than 4 inches in a few other widely scattered localities. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “The situation in wheat as viewed by most traders is regarded as discouraging to holders, the movement being large, and the speculative and export demand yesterday being light. Corn specialists say that the next three weeks will tell the story of the crop It is the gen eral belief that the brilliant prospects of thirty days ago have disappeared. A large part of the crop is at the critical stage, and It depends extirely upon the weather, as to how the crop Will come through.” * * • Bartlett. Frazier Co says: “Wheat - Weather In the Northwest generally (dear with seasonable temperatures. The tone of the market Is heavy and looks lower. "Cora—The map shows no rain in the corn belt and very high temperatures prevailed yesterday in all territories west of the. river As long as present wteather conditions prevail higher prices seem Inevitable. “Oats-—We believe the market will gradually work higher “Provisions—Foreigners buyers of lard. The continued strength In corn adds to the general firmness." Omaha, reports no rain in Nebraska. Generally clear over the State. Winni peg clear, S9; Duluth clear, 40: Glen- wood clear; Bismarck clear, 70; Kansas City says corn and wheat bulletin shows no rain. * * • Provisional Department of Agriculture of Manitoba estimates wheat crop of 65,000,000 bushels, against 58,000,000 last year. • • • B. W. Snow says-? “My returns to date, covering almost one-half of the corn producing counties, are showing some sensational losses In corn prospect. Kansas returns as far ns tabulated and covering nearly half of the State, show a drop approaching 50 per cent since July 1, and working lower as later re ports come in. Nebraska is off nearly 20 points and Oklahoma 40 points; Mis souri to date shows 10 points off, and both Illinois ami Indiana have lost ground. Arkansas, Tennessee and Ken tucky are also showing heavy losses. If the latter reports prove in line with those already received, the general av erage condition will fall several points under 80, and the official indication on August l may not be for a crop over 2,- 700,000 bushels.” B. W. Snow lias the following from Fldgar County. Ill.: "From April 10, we had nine weeks of dry weather, which ruined oats and hay, then we had some raiq, which gave corn a fair start, but for the last five weeks we had hot weather and no rain. Unless we get rain in a few days corn will be the worst failure we have had in the 60 years that I have been In this country." • * * The Weekly Iowa Weather and Crop Report says: “In some localities in the southeastern counties, where there has been only .05 inch rain during the last 30 days, corn is firing and is at a stand still. Pastures are brown.” Selling in corn to-day was very scat tered and sellers really scarce. That's why the market went up so easy, as no body dares to take the short side. Atlanta Markets SHORTS STRUGGLE FOR ILL CEREALS Dry Weather, Bad Crop Advices and Scarcity of Sellers Drive Shorts to Cover. 4 CHICAGO, July 29.—Com waPF-th# leader in activity, as well tm strength* at the opening of the grain market to day. The continued absence of rain in the corn belt and the additional claims of further and marked de terioration were the leading bullish influences, which drove many shorts to cover and developed an investment demand. It was said that the losses in th« com belt were pronounce^ in many sections. Wheat was lower on increased olV ferings and a general bearish condi tion. Oats werp higher on poor threshing returns. Provisions were a shade higher. WHEAT- July. , . Sept. # . Dec.. . . CORN— July. . . Sept. . . Dec.. . , OATS— July. . . Sept. . . Dec.. . .
