ASK FRAUD ORDER
Cotton Growers Move Against
New York Exchange.
APPEAL TO CORTELYOU
Congressman Livingston, Harvie J or
dan and Charles Barrett Call on
Postmaster General and
Present Evidence.
A Washington special says: Congressman
Livingston of Georgia appeared
before Postmaster Cortelyou
Wednesday afternoon, and urged the
department to investigate the specific
charges of fraud against the New
York cotton exchange, which he presented.
Colonel Livingston was accompanied
by President Harvie Jordan
of the Southern Cotton Association,
he having invited. President Jordan
and President C. S. Barrett of
the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operate
Union, to come to Washington
and help push the case against the
New York cotton exchange.
The charges recite that the exchange
operates under fraudulent contracts;
that its business is largely
speculative, and has become a mere
gambling game, and that the officials
and members should be forbidden the
use of the mails in advertising their
business.
The action of Colonel Livingston in
moving against the New York cotton
exchange was provoked by what planters
consider proof of fraud being
practiced by the exchange to the
harm and detriment of the legitimate
cotton trade of the south. This proof
appeared in the official market re
port of the New l'orK couon excuauge
issued on December 28, which was
notice day. On -that date the price of
cotton futures on contracts calling
for December delivery was 9.02 and
9.04, while the price of spot cotton
was 10.65. The disparity between the
actual value of the staple, and its
value on future contracts made on
the floor of the exchange was thus
163 points, which would make a difference
of $8.15 per bale.
On the same day, New Ojleajis
was nearly 100 points above New
York, its quotations being 9.98 on
futures "and 10 3-16 on spots. In discussing
the matter Colonel Livingston
laid particular stress upon this situation
as proving the claims of fraud
in connection with the New York
exchange transactions. He said':
"If McFadden or any other cotton
operator had bought cotton on that
date at 9.02 and could have secured
the actual cotton, he could have sold
it in the spot market and made a
profit cn the 114,000 bales traded In
on that exchange that day of $11,?
- - ? 1\AAAllOA Vl Q
411,WO. .tie am um uuj, uctausc
knew, and all knew that there was
no cotton to be had. If the New York
cotton exchange operates on the same
plan. as the stock exchange, or the
corn exchange, and I am informed
that such is their charter, they must
keep on hand for actual delivery the
cotton traded in, just as does the broker
who sells railroad or other stock3.
I do not know that sucli is their
charter, and I have be?n unable to
find out, but, if it is true, they must
keep commercial salable cotton on
hand to meet their contracts."
Harvie Jordan was of the opinion
that if he had at his disposal a fund
of fifty thousand dollars to employ
the legal talent to push the case, he
could put the New York Stock Exchange
completely out of business
on this ground, provided this provision
is found to be a part of its charter.
It is declared, however, that
there is no purpose to prevent the
legitimate transactions of the exchange,
but simply to break up the
alleged fraudulent contracts.
The postmaster general referred his
callers to Judge Goodwin, assistant
general for the postoffice department.

BEQUEST FOR MORE PAY
Made by the Conductors, Switchmen,
Brakemen and Trainmen of Offi
cials of the Southern Railway.
The conductors, switchmen, brakemen
and trainmen of the Southern
railway have sent representatives to
Washington to confer with the chief
executives of the road for the purpose
of securing an increase in wages.
Those who are now at the capital
are the regularly elected delegates of
the organization of the conductors
and the trainmen known as the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen.
These delegates also have instractlrtno
romnin in Wflshinpr.tnn until
they secure the advance in wages or a
direct and absolute refusal to grant
the request. If the increase is granted,
and it is confidently expected by all
of the trainmen and conductors, the
stay of the delegates in Washington
will be a short one. If the request is
refused, it is stated on the very best
of authority and frcpn those In a
position to know oflicially that a
strike over the entire Southern railway
system will be declared and that
almost every conductor, switchman
and trainman will go out to a man.
Under the present conditions of traffic
these railroad men do not believe
that any such drastic measures will
bs necessary. They say that the business
is more than the road can handle
and that what with the shortage
of cars, the delayed schedules and
other disadvantages to the shipper
and the traveling public that the highest
officials of the Southern railway
will grant their request rather than
tie up the entire system of more
than 7,000 miles.
The conductors state that during
the past few years and especially the
past year or two, the necessities of
life have incveased from 25 to 50 per
cent and that with their present wages
they are unable to meet their monthly
j bills that belong to the average-sized.
family. Requests for an increase in
wages have been made and the matter
taken up only to be deferred from
time to time by the officials having
the authority to make this increase
that is asked for.
It was stated by an official that
the conductors of the Southern railway
are making from $110 to $120
per month, the exact amount of the
wages depending on the length of the
run. A 10 per cent increase in these
wages is asked for.
As to any compromise or postponements,
the instructions to the delegates
were that in this case both compromises
and postponements were
barred.
The switchmen, who now belong to
the B. R. T., instead of the former
organization of their own composed
only of switchmen, say that they are
asking for the standard scale, which
is $2.65 per day. They also state that
they are dow getting $2.15 per day.
The conductors' organization, the
Order- of Railway Conductors, is one.,
of the strongest in the country. It is
stated that far over <K) per cent of
the conductors of the Southern railway
are members of this organization
and that they are absolutely a unit
in regard to the demand for higher
wages, as is proved in the Instructions
to the delegates to remain in Washington
until some definite answer is
received.
The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
is also very strong;, and has been
greatly strengthened lately by a number
of organizers who have been at
work along the Southern railway and
other southern roads preparing for
just such conditions as now confrnt
the executives of the Southern railway
in Washington.

ARTIFICIAL VEGETABLES.
The Academy of Sciences, Paris,
recently heard Prof. d'Arsonval describe
artificial vegetables, which he
exhibited, and which were produced
by the methods of Prof. Leduc of the
1 Drnf ^'ir.
in ames imruicai ^-nese. x iui, u .....
sonval interested his colleagues greatly,
but unfortunately for the lay public
he did not say whether the socalled
vegetables are edible.
While they were described as vegetables
they have nothing of the vegetable
in their makeup, but they behave
after their production as do the
real vegetables they resemble under
natural conditions. Into the composition
of these products nothing living*
enters. Prof. Leduc makes seeds in
pill form, one pairt of sulphate of
copper and two parts of glucose.
These are -deposited in bouillon made
of gelatine, to which are added 3
per cent, of ferro cyanide of potassium
and a little sea salt.
The seed develops sometimes on
the surface of the liquid and sometimes
in its depths, giving birth to
plants resembling seaweed and other
marine plants. It was announced that
these a."fifrd*i plants were not merely
scientific curiosities. Pre? T>dito has
been able to recognize that they have
the same properties as the plants they
resemble, and are influenced similarly

has said that the best lecture
which he ever heard on the subject
of success in life was delivered by a
man who was an absolute failure in
everything he undertook?except that
lecture. The lecture was a great
suocess, but the lecturer who delivered
the lecture was a failure in everything
he ever undertook. He failed
in the ministry. He failed to bring
up his children-properly. He failed
to keep out of debt. He failed everywh/M-o

lecture on "How to Succeed"?that
was a tremendous success. It always

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
Health.
"My food was killing me and I
didn't know the cause," writes a Colo,
young lady: "For two years I was
thhi and sickly, suffering from indigestion
and inflammatory rheumatism.
"I had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
"Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that I try Grape"Niits
and I beean at once, eating it
with a little cream or milk. A
change tor the better began at once.
"To-day I am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time.
I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five
weeks, and do not suffer- any more
from indigestion and the rheumatism
is all gone.
"I know it Is to Grape-Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. I
still eat the food twice a day and
never tire of it." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts is pecu
liar to itself. It is neutral, not too
sweet and has an agroeable, healthful
quality that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overloading the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
As soon as improper food is abandoned
and Grape-Nuts is taken regularly,
digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. "There's a reason." Read
