Southerners Consider Arbitrary Action
Taken By Department of Potomac
as Absolutely Unworthy of
# Consideration.
A Washington special says: Resolutions
protesting against the display
of the confederate flag on public oc

Saturday night.
v The resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted, read:
"Whereas, it is creditably report- i
ed that the flag of the late so-called J
Confederate States of America is ber
ing displayed in public places and on

That we view with regret and sorrow

"Resolved, That such a course

QUERIES WORRY BILL.
Plain Citizen Robinson of the itshmua
of Panama Comes Back .at War
Secretary Taft.
"Are you a Caesarian atavism or
reincarnation of some turbaned, robed,
sworded despot of the Orient?"
This question has been put to Secretary
of Vvlar Taft by no less a person
than Mr. Tracy Robinson, former
resident of New York, who, for fortyfive
years has been a resident of the
isthmus of Panama. Mr. Robinson
has a grievance and Secretary Taft is
it. He does not at all like the references
to himself in the secretary's
very pointed comment upon the socalled
expose of Panama conditions
written by Poultney Bigelow.
Mr. Robinson confesses that he did
give Mr. Bigelow much of the material
for that article to which Secretary
Taft took such strong exception.
"Mr. Bigelow can take care of himself.
He can doubtless apply a ready
antidote for the venom from your capacious
distillery,", lie writes^ "I am
obscure, more easily crushed by your
great weight." He resents the suggestion
of having "an animus
against the government," because he
failed to get a good job * under the
canal commission.
Mr. Robinson calls ; him "brave.
Poultney Bigelow," and says he told
the truth about the swamp conditions
at Colon. "You," he says to Secretary
Taft, "are posing as a great man
which you are not."- And thereupon
he puts to the secretary these questions:
"Are you above and beyond
the law of libel? Do you hold the fair
fame of men in your keeping? Have
you expropriated 'for canal use the
vast outlying jungle of lies?"'.
Secretary Taft wears a worried look.
He is wondering whether it can he
true that he is a Caesarian atavism.
He is wondering, al^>, what a Caesarian
atavism is!
There is some mystery about this
letter. It has been sent to the press

Mr. Bigelow in his testimony referred
as a close friend of Mr. Robinson,
but Mr. Stedman has repudiated any

New York Syndicate Will Buy
Halt Million Bales.
TO PAY THIRTEEN CENTS
J
/
Spot Holders Have the Option of Releasing
at That Figure or Awaiting
Advance to 15 Cents?The
Plan as Outlined.
By the announcement that the
Southern Cotton Association has completed
arrangements with an eastern
syndicate to turn over to the latter
before July l of this year half a
million bales of cotton from southern
planters at a minTmum price of 13
cents, one - of the most magnificent
steps in the history of the association,
was made public.
The step, if successfully carried out.
and elaborated in the- future, will
practically complete the scheme of
the Southern Cotton Association, that
of restraining the supply of staple
and so controlling its appearance on
the market that the planters will be
enabled to secure a good profit bearing
price for their product.
E. R. Thomas of New York, well
known as a banker and financier, is
at the head of the syndicate to take
the 500,000 bales this spring.
This agreement further carries provision
for the syndicate's taking ail
cotton ready for market in August
and September of this year at the
market price then obtaining, to be not
less than the minimum fixed by the
Southern Cotton Association. The
agreement is not to affect those who
are holding their staple for 15 cents.
It is stated by President Jordan
that the New York bankers are fully
prepared to finance southern bankers
in assisting the holders for higher
prices.
Following is the official statement
prepared and submitted Monday by
President Harvie Jordan:
'1 have secured an agreement with
a syndicate of eastern capitalists,
headed by Mr. E. R. Thomas, the
well known banker and financier of
New York, to take 500,000 bales of
middling ccttcn from southern plant
ers at a minimum price of 13 cents
per pound, deliverable at interior
points or the ports 15y or before July
1, 1906, the deal to be closed so soon
as options on the'syndicate's requirements
have been secured. The agreement
further provides for the taking
of all cotton ready for market next
August and September from the crop
of 1906, at the then market prices,
to be not less than the minimum price
fixed by the Southern Cotton Association.
This agreement is not intended
to affect holders who are demand
ing a maximum of 15 cents at tne
present time. New Pork bankers are
also prepared to fully finance all
southern bankers in assisting holders
of cotton for higher prices. Option
contracts will be at once forwarded,
upon application, to all cotton growers
whose addresses are not already
in my possession." :
"I agree to sell to the order of
Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton
Association for the E. R. Thomas
Syndicate of New York City,
bales middling cotton at TZ cents per
pound at interior points, and further
agree to ship same on demand on or
before July 1, 1906. The title to an<f
possession of said cotton to remain
with owner until purchase money Is
paid.
Following is the form of contract
agreed upon by Thomas, his associates
and President Jordan:
"I also agree to sell to said syndicate
all cotton made by me during
the months of August and September
at the then market price, to be not
less tnan me minimum price rj ue
fixed for the new crop by the Southern
Cotton Association.
"The essence of this contract is the
securing from the planters of the
south not less than '?00,000 bales of
cotton of the present crop at the above
mentioned price.
. "Name

"I also retain bales of cotton,
which I will pledge to hold for a
maximum price of 15 cents.

' i
Two men, shackled to each other, j
one being further secured by hand- ;
I |
cuffs, walked through the streets of 1,
3t. Louis, Mo., Monday, followed by J
curious crowds. They were siglitsee- I
i i
ing and their route included the four j
courts and many saloons. One was
i
E. W. Martin, aged 50, a farmer of i
t
Spring Place, Ga., and the other, Wil- j
liam H. Barnes, aged 31, of Pleasant j
Kill, 111.
Barnes was the prisoner. By mutual J ,
consent, and without warrant of lay, i .
the strange pair entered the four j
courts. The other man, ercTTed and j
nervous, asked to see the chief of
police. To an officer he said:
"This man is my prisoner. He ;
stole my horse and buggy and I'm
taking him back to Georgia and I
want you to hold him until 3 o'clock, j
when my train goes out. I haven't j
got a warrant for him, and he hasn't i
been indicted, but here are the pa- j
pers."
He . showed a document signed by j
himself and by Barnes, according to j
the terms of which Barnes agreed to j
accompany Martin from Pleasant Hill, j
111., to Spring Place, Ga., witnout j
requisition.
"Now he's balking and he. says
Missouri is such a good place that {
he wants to stay here, and so I guess j
I'll have to have him locked up,"
said Martin.
His request was refused, because
there was no warrant authorizing the
St. Louis police to hold the prisoner.
After being requested to leave the
chief's office Martin said to a reporter:
"This young fellow was working in |
a Spring Place sawmill last September j
and boarded at my house. He was j
known there as Larry Crockett. He j
complained that the work was too j
hard, and I hired him to sell poultry |
food for me. He left my house with j
my horse and buggy and forty packages
of the food September 26 and !
never returned."
WHIPPING POST LOSES OUT.
Wife Beaters in District of Columbia
Will Not Be Disturbed.
A Washington special says: The
house, Monday, had sport with the TTil
establishing a whipping post for wifebeaters
in the District of Columbia, |
and then laid it on the table, effect- j
ively disposing of it, by a vote- cr j
153 to 60. The most impassioned
speech for the measure was delivered
by MT. Hepburn of Iowa, who depicted
the brutality of the man who would
beat his wife, and declared that to
be whipped was hardily adequate punishment.
Mr. Adams opened the discussion
with a serious speech in favor
of the bill. All the opposing speeches
partook of levity, and Mr. Adams received
more than one fling because
he is a bachelor.
ivir. aims 01 Tennessee, opposing
the measure, predicted that it would
get one vote only in the house. The
president, he said, had advocated increased
punishment for wife-heaters
a year ago, "but he is a year older .
now, and his last message said nothing
about it." He made the further
point that the report of the local chief
of police indicated that "common lav.'
wives and other females" received
most cf the beatings. "Some one has
suggested we amend the bill to apply
on wife chasers," he declared further,
"I don't know who that would
hit." (Laughter.)
For five minutes Mr. Stanley of

cidentally took Mr. Adams to task
for never marrying. It was, lie said,
' a "brutal measure of brutalizing a
brute."
Mr. Gaines of Tennessee asked what
the gentleman would do if he were
to witness a husband beating his wife.
"It would depend," replied Mr. Stanley,
"on the husband and on the wife.
If she was redheaded even my southern
chivalry would not tempt me to
interfere." (Laughter.)

Story from Paris Tells of Some of j
Count Casteilane's Crazy and Sensational
Propinquities as the
King of Spendthrifts.
A Paris special says: Count Bonl !
ind his family are striving by every.,
means in their power to induce the
countess to withdraw her suit. They |
know that if Jay Gould's daughter
pushes her suit Count Boni will be
left practically penniless.
Even if Count Boni effects a reconciliation
with the countess, his income
will be so cut down as to practically
extinguish one of the greatest spenders
that even prodigal Paris has ever
known.
Of all the American investments in
Old "World titles, Anna Gould's has
probably been the most costly.
.Reduced.to cold figures, the price .of
her title has been approximately $2,017
each and every day for the eleven
years they have been married, or the
equivalent every four week3 of President
Roosevelt's salary for a year.
Recently Frank Work, the New
York millionaire, and his daughter
had a dispute that led Mrs. Roche to
leave his home because for a time
she spent about $350 a day, one-sixth
of the daily expenditures of the count.
Furthermore, Mr. Work permitted his
daughter's extravagances for only a
few weeks, while George Gould's titled
brother-in-law has hammered away
until he has made the record $9,000,000
for the eleven years of his married
life.
The count has smilingly spent $4
for a cherry and cheerfully given
enough to pay the bonded indebtedness
of a small city for a piece of
brica-brac. He has made for himself
a reputation as a spender that caused
the famous literary men of this and
other capitals to write dbout him, and
he has inflamed the Parisian populace
more than once so that he has had

One of his little foibles was a
vaudeville performance given at Auteuil
when, for 350 guests, he presentad
an all star bill, no act of which
cost him less than $500.
Eclipse! That has been the one
idea of the count from the moment he
got his hands on the Gould fortune.
He waited for others to give fetes
or to buy jewels or antiques only
that he might eclipse them, and generally
he has succeeded. He has lived
to hear his praises sung, and the countess

For his world-famed mansion on tho
Avenue Bois de Boulougne, known as
the "Red Palace," Boni spent more
money than he can accurately tell. He
liked the location so well that he
paid $740,000 for the land alone, and
before he got through he had produced
a palace that any king In Europe
might envy.
Here are some of the ways Castellane
made money fly:
Bought $150,000 equipage and employed
the outrider Montjarrett, for

of France; bought $60,000 clock;
bought $280,000 antique cabinet;
bought cherries at $4.00 per cherry;
purchased mantelpiece for $50,000 ;
purchased necklace at $100,000, .half
of which he gave his wife; spent a
