goods manufacturers, Senators Hokel
Smith, Overman and Ellison D. Smith
to-day united in a demand in the
Senate that speedy action be taken to
pass the bill fixing standards of cot
ton on exchanges.
Senator Hoke Smith quoted pricesy
on July cotton showing that the ex
change 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
Al
New York exchange was a farce
“They: can't sell it to you there be
cause they have not got it,” said Sen
ator Overmai, “They traded in 70,-
000,000 bales last vear when, accord
ing to tha last reporl, they actually
Fad 164 bales of middling cotton on
hand.”
Senator Ellison . 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,

Amid the tears of sweethearts, the
cheers of civillans and the ingpiring
music of the regimental band, the
gallant Seventeentl left for the Mex

The Second Battalion, composed of
275 soldierg and fifteen officers, un

ASE [3 EASIER THAN
HE THOUGHT He SAYS
William J. Burns Thursday scoffed at the idea that Jim Con
ley’s lawyer or anyone else could prevent him from seeing the
negro when he deecides the time has come to interview ‘the self
confessed accessory of Leo M. Frank in the slaying of Mary
Phagan.
““C'onley has been tried, con
victed and sentenced,’” said
Burns. ‘‘The idea that anyone
can keep from seeing him is ab
surd. I am going to see Con
leyv. 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
gion of subsgequent events, g
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
fident that Mr. Dorsey i 8 ope‘ to cons

‘vietion if it should develop that a
grievous mistake has been made.
“l have never expressed any con
viction as to the innocence or guilt
of Frank, and do not intend to do so
until the investigation is completed.
Of course, I hope that our findings
will prove the man innocent, but I am
working with an absolutely open
mind., The trail certainly looks clear
enough to me, and 1 believe Atlanta
and the country at large will be sat
isfied that the truth has been found
when the final report is made.”
Burns sald he Had wired for Dan
[.ehon, 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 a
ritten demand by William M. Smitn,
(' nley's lawyer, to the Sheriff, that
all visitors be kept away from his
client's cell,
This is the second order of ite kind,
