gonds manufacturers, Senators Hoke‘
Smith, Overman and Ellison D. Smith
to-day united in a demand in !he‘
Senate that speedy action be taken to
pass the bill fixing standards of cot
ton on exchanges. |
Senator Hoke Smith quoted prices
on July cotton showing that the ex
hange quotations are 75 points low
er on July cotton than on March cot
ton, despite the fact that July cot
ton is worth more. Senator Overman
recited similar facts, and said that
the sale of middling cotton on the
New York exchange was a farce,
“They can't sell it to you there be
cause they have not got it,” said Sen
ator Overman, “They traded in 70,-
000 000 bales last vear when, accord
ing to the last report, they actually
lad 164 bales of middling cotton on
nand.” ¢
Senator Ellison D. Smith gave no
tice that he will call upon the bill to
morrow, after declaring that imme
diate executive action is necessary in
order to protect the unsold propor
tion of the 1913 crop and the crop of
cotton to be raised this year.

OSTEND, BELGIUM., March 19—
A three-masted schooner was ram
med and sunk by the Hamburg-
American liner Kaiser Wilhelm der
Grosse to-day, and all on board were
lost.,
In reporting the accident by wire
less, the commander of the liner said
that the boats had been put off from
‘\his ship and a three hours' search
‘'made, but no survivors could be
found.
The accident was caused by a fog,
and the liner was unable to learn the
name of the vessel it had sunk.

Foes of Home Rule
To End Opposition
Underßeferendum
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, March 19—The home
rule gituation took a marked turn for
the better in Parliament this after
noon. The Ulster Unionists showed
the iirst sign of abandoning their
threataned revolt and opposition to
the compromise proposed by Premier
Asquith when Sir Edward Carson an
nounced that if the Premier would
guaraniee his offer of a referendum
its decision would be accepted.
A. Bonar Law, the opposition lead
er in Commons, this afternoon moved
a vote of censure against the Gov
ernment in a speech which contained
counter proposals for the settlement
of the home rule and Ulster exclusion
questions
“If Premier Asquith does not ac
cept this offer it will be because he
prefers to have these questions set
tied by buliets rather than by votes,”
sald the speaker,

Amid the tears of sweethearts, the
cheers of civilianus and the inspiring
musi¢ of the regimental band, the
gallant Seventeenth left for the Mex

The Second Battalion, composed of
275 soldiers and fifteen officers, un
der Major B. 1. Hardawas, bade fare

11 o'clock on a special train for Ea

The last train, with the First Bat
talion, under Major G. W. Martin
and with Colonel T. W. Griffiths and
the regimental staff, left at 2 o'clock.
The first train will go by New Or
leans, while the others will go by
Memphis.
Just before the departure of each
train there were many affecting
scenes af the soldiers told their
friends and relatives good-bye,
The general opinion among the pri
vates as they departed was that they
would see actual service in Mexico,
The First Battalion saw patrol serv
jce in Texas when President ‘Taft
mobilized the troops on' the border in
1911. The soldiers were on the border
from March 10, 1911, until October 5,

| William J. Burns Thursday scoffed at the idea that Jim Con

}vnllfn‘.\so"i accessory U’. |4|'n A\l |"l‘i|||l\‘ in Hu' \]il'\'illz Uf M&ll‘_\'
Phagan. :
“Conley has been tried, con
vieted and sentenced,’”’ said
Burns. “‘The idea that anyone
can keep from seeing him is ab
surd, 1 am going to see Con
ley. The time has not arrived
vet when the best results would
be obtained in any talk with
him, but whe nit does neither
Mr. Smith nor anyone else will
stop me. All this talk is mere
foolishness.”’
The famous detective said he in
tended to spend most of Thursday
quizzing Frank in his cell in the
Tower and going carefully over the
convicted man's story of his move
ments on April 26, 1913, and his ver
sion of subsequent events.
Calls Case Easy.
“This case,’ said Burns, “is easier
than I expected, There is certainly
no mystery that can not be cleared
up, and the facts will speak for them
selves when made public, I am con
fideant that Mr, Dorsey is open to con-

viction if it should develop that a
grievous mistake has been made.
“I have never expressed any con
viction as to the innocence or guilt
of Frank, and do not intend to do go
until the investigation is completed.
Of ¢ourse, | hope that our findings
wt(pmw th¢ man innocent, but I am:
working with an absolutely open
mind, The trail certainly looks clear
enough to me, and | believe Atlanta
and the country at large will be sat«
isfied that the truth has been found
when the final report is made.”
Burns said he had wired for Dan
Lehon, head of his New Orleans of
fice, to come to Atlanta to work with
him on the case,
This effort to block Burns seeing
Conley was in the form of &
