Park Manager Scores Chief and
Factionalism — Says He Is
Serving Last Term.
Dan Carey, General Manager of
Parks, declared Friday that factional
ism In the Park Board had reached
mich a degree that the exploitation or
»ny new Ideas absolutely was pre
vented and that he was serving his
last term under such conditions.
Authentic reports from the faction
opposed to him are that plans are
being made to drop him at the end
of his term, January 1, 1915.
The old-time factionalism reached
an acute stage at a meeting Thursday
afternoon because Manager Carey had
not consulted President J. O. Cochran
about contracts for an underground
, conduit for the lighting of Piedmont
Park.
Board Censures Mr. Carey.
President Cochran, with the bal
ance of power in the board, has been
supporting Manager Carey. But when
Manager Carey took action on his
own initiative he switched to the
anti-Carey faction led by M. B.
Young and R. A. Burnett and resolu
tions were adopted by a vote of 9 to
3 reprimanding Mr. Carey for mak
ing contracts without consulting the
board.
Tangle Over "Loaned Stone.”
Manager Carey also asked the board
to straighten out an agreement be
tween President Cochran and Engi
neer Nym Hurt, of the City Construc
tion Department, about some crushed
stone. Manager Carey said the min
utes of the board showed that Presi
dent Cochran had represented to the
board that the stone had been given,
while Mr. Hurt claims that it was
only loaned and he wanted it back.
President Cochran said he under
stood that the stone had been loaned,
and if he had represented that it had
teen given to the department he had
made a mistake.
“It seems that a member of the
board can do anything, but anything
the general manager does is wrong,”
said Mr. Carey.
Commissioners Frank Reynolds,
William Van Houten and Councilman
Bam Shepard stoutly defended Man
ager Carey, but they were outvoted.
What the Charges Are.
Here are the specific charges
brought by President Cochran against
Manager Carey:
That the board appropriated $200
to remove the Erskine fountain to
Grant Park and that Manager Carey
spent $600 on it.
That negligence resulted in $22 de-
4 murrage collected on cars of stone
one time and $17 another.
That he has given contracts for
$800 for underground wiring of Pied
mont Park, and that all of these ex
penditures were contracted for with
out the knowledge or consent of the
board.
Manager Carey explained that the
wiring contracts were made as a re
sult of a misunderstanding between
himself and City Electrician R. C.
Turner.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Uneasiness was
again expressed to-day over weather
conditions in Texas, and when the cot
ton market opened, prices were at a net
advance of 5 to 11 points from Thurs
day’s final. New crops were the strong
est, August showing an advance of 15
points immediately after the opening.
The openiilg quotation was 11.75 and the
next figure was 11.85.
There was no rain shown on the map.
as had been generally expected and local
weather experts failed to see any in
sight Just at present and the market
was bought freely from strong sources
Shorts were also good buyers, but on the
rally there seemed to be some cotton
for sale as sentiment continues very
bearish. Later the market eased off
sharply on reports of rain at Galveston
and El Paso and less support was in
evidence.

COTTON GOSSIP
Alabama Double of
Croker Not Boasting
ANNISTON, Aug. 8.—Anniston,
which has become famous for its
doubles, having a man who looks like
Roosevelt, one who looks like Wilson
and a double of Napoleon in the per
son of State Senator T. E. Kilby, has
still another in Dr. J. Q. Dixon, who
admitted that he had frequently been
taken for Andrew Carnegie, the late
King Edward of England and Richard
Croker.
He said he was willing to plead
guilty to the likeness of all except
Croker.
Lady Sackville’s
Daughter to Wed
LONDON, Aug. 8.—The Honorable
Victoria Mary Sackville-West, whose
engagement to Harold Nicholson, an
attache of the British embassy at
Constantinople, has been announced,
is the daughter of Lady Sackville,
who recently won a clear title to the
vast fortune of Sir John Murray
Scott.
Miss Sackville-West is the only
child of Lord and Lady Sackville and
she will succeed to the Scott fortune.
Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows part
cloudy over eastern half of belt and
I south Texas; generaly fair elsewhere;
J general showers in eastern half of belt;
' none in western half. Indications are
still for some rain coming in the west
over Sunday.
9 • *
Rainfall The New Orleans Tlmes-
Democrat says: “After making full al
lowance for the fact that cotton is a
dry weather plant and thrives on sun
shine, the talent is forced to admit that
drouth in parts of Oklahoma and Texas,
accompanied by such high tempera
tures as those of yestercTay, is injuring
tile crop every day. However, most
traders on the short side have learned
not to accept damage reports at face
value, and when, in the face of a fair
forecast for the west, the barometer
lines revealed low pressure of the Gulf
of Mexico, the talent promptly exploited
storm formation as a promise of rain
and weather students on the floor helped
by asserting that extremely hot weather
in Oklahoma is simply a forerunner of
rain and lower temperatures. Thus the
market worked down after the bulge of
Wednesday.
“Meanwhile, Manchester is not send
ing any encouraging reports, though
Liverpool managed to sell 10,000 bales on
the spot yesterday. At this time any
lack of evidence of trade activity is apt
to tell on the raw cotton market, be
cause just now slack demand for the
actual makes a poor showing when con
trasted with the keen demand in evi
dence during the past two years.
“The market is very dull and very
narrow; speculation has been reduced to
a minimum and neither talent nor trade
is in a humor to display enterprise. In-
| creasing spot sales at Galveston and
Houston indicate that the new crop
market is opening up.”
* • •
The market was sold off after the
opening on unofficial reports of rain at
Galveston. The early weather map
shows no rain and weather experts
could not see any in sight, which re
sulted in an active wave of buying at
the outset.

On the call, Flinn and Gifford bought
August. Black, Seidenberg, Hentz and
Harden sold. Wilson, Mitchell, Gifford,
Flinn and Black bought October. Mc-
Elroy, Bashford and Hentz sold. Flinn,

Marked Improvement
Noted in Wool Trade
BOSTON. Aug. 8.—More inquiry has
developed In the wool market during the
past week, probably stimulated by the
increased demand for lightweight goods,
following the recent openings by leading
mills. Total sales are estimated at fully
2,000,000 pounds, the business being
distributed among the leading houses
and covering most of the desirable
grades. Primary markets are now well
cleaned up. except in Ohio, but even
there very little is doing and buyers are
coming home. Prices here are un
changed.
Liquidation of holdings wherever a
profit is shown is the policy in favor
and some transfers, it is said, have been
made at a very small margin.

The Government crop report will be
published at 2:15 to-day. It will be a
very Important market factor, as it
gives the condition of corn to August 1.
General estimates put the condition of
corn at 75, but I believe this is too low
and anything above that figure will be
considered bullish on stocks. However,
there may be some hesitation in prices
before the figures are published.—G. D.
Potter.

OBITUARY
CHICAGO, Aug 8.—The weather over
the greater portion of the corn belt was
again hot and dry, although in sections
of Nebraska ana Iowa It was reported
as cooler. Northeastern and eastern
Iowa, as well as northern and central
Illinois were visited by raijis last night,
but as an offset to this a message was
received from Kansas City, saying that
in some sections of Missouri the crop
will be a total failure, and that In others
It will not average over 50 per cent. The
forecast of the weather bureau up to to
morrow evening shows no relief In sight
for the corn crop. News of this nature,
as well as generally bullish feeling in the
corn market brought further upturns of
%@%c at the opening this morning.
The strength in the corn market car
ried wheat %@%c higher at the open
ing, in spite of the generally bearish
news received from the Old World as well
as our own and the Canadian North
west. Weather in Europe was favorable
for harvesting and movement, and car
goes at Liverpool were freely offered at
concessions. Fine general rains were re
ported In the Canadian Northwest, which
are good lor the filling of the crops, and
beneficial rains were reported in our
own Northwest.
The corn market had a strengthening
Influence on oats and sales were made at
higher levels.
Trading In provisions was rather light
early, but the market had a stronger
undertone, being influenced to some ex
tent by the strength In coarse grains and
the higher market for hogs at the yards.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “Many
wheat traders regar<j the market as a
carrying charge proposition and say that
unless there is a material Improvement
in the export demand, which has flat
tened out of late, prices may go lower.
Corn prices are so high tnat even many
of the boldest operators are timid about
• ling long, except on sharp breaks;
they are easily scared by reports of rain.
A Government report is due to-d^y at
1:15 p. m. It is expected to lower the
condition of corn 10 points or over from
(hat of 86.9 last month.
