HOUSE COMMITTEE FAVORABLY
REPORTS ON LEVER BILL.
FIXES COTTON STATDARD
Lever Measure is Adopted aa Substitute
for the Act of the Senate, and
Compels the Adoption of Government
Standards by All Cotton Centers
in the Futures Market.
mi. ^ t i i. /? a ? i??
i ne jjever conon iuiures 0111 was
favorably reported to the House
Thursday as a substitute for the bill
already passed by the Senate. Representative
Lever of South Carolina,
author of the bill and chairman of
the agricultural committee, included
in his favorable report a complete
analysis of exchange transactions.
The bill, says the report, "recognizes
the economic value of those cotton
exchanges that use a contract
representative of the true value of
spinnable cotton and levels its prohibition
against those exchanges only
the value of whose contracts is susceptible
to violent fluctuations and
manipulation.
"Upon such contracts the value of
which, under the rules of the exchanges,
does not reflect truly the
value of spot cotton as it exists from
day to day in the hands of the farmers
upon local markets," adds the report,
"a tax of $5 a bale is levied.
Such a tax, in the judgment of the
trade, is absolutely prohibitive. Upon
such contracts as do represent the
value of spot cotton, no tax whatever
is laid, and this is true likewise of all
spot cotton transactions including the
'f. o. b.' cotton, cotton 'to arrive' and
'for prompt delivery.'
"The whole purpose of the bill is
to compel by law the use of such a
contract by the future markets, the
quotations of the value of which will
reflect accurately and truly the value
of spot cotton of spinnable and valuable
quality. In the light of the best
information available, the ultimate
effect of providing a contract of the
character described in the bill will
enhance the opinion of experts, the
cotton crop in the hands of the farmers
of the South not less than $100,000,000
annually."
Mr. Lever said he hoped for passage
of the bill by the House at this
session. The Senate measure, which
was introduced by Senator Smith of
South Carolina differs from the Lever
bill only in minor details. Summarizing
at length the provisions and
effect of the House bill, Chairman
Lever's report says:
"The bill compels the adoption of
the government official standards by
all future markets. It establishes a
uniform standard of grades, throughout
the country and relieves the trade
of the confusion and abuses growing
out of the present multiplicity of
standards in different markets. It
prohibits the use, in the settlement
of contracts, of the illogical and unsound
'fixed difference system' and
substitutes therefor the system of
commercial differences in determining
the relative value of grades delivered
upon contracts.
"It denies to any cotton exchange
the use of any contract for the future
delivery of cotton, under the terms of
>vmen me very low grades of cotton,
'rejections', 'left-overs,' 'misfits,' and
'dog tails'?qualities of cotton entirely
unsuited for spinning purposes
?are deliverable upon it. It provides
that cotton of a staple less than
seven-eighths of an inch in length
shall not be delivered in the settlement
of such a contract.
"Each bale of cotton to be delivered
upon a contract shall be identified
by grade with the date when the cotton
is to be delivered to the purchaser,
thus abolishing the practice
of long delays and pro forma deliveries.
"It provides that the secretary of
agriculture shall determine in cases
of disputes arising between the person
making the tender and the person
receiving the same, the quality,
orf the grade, or the length of staple
in dispute, furnishing as it were an
unbiased tribunal to which may bo
referred disputes which involvo the
quality or the grade or the length of
staple of any cotton tendered under
tre contract.
"Provision is made for the method
of determining the relative commercial
value of the different grades of
cotton which may be delivered upon

"Power is given the secretary to!

"It is required of all persons corning
within the provisions of the bill
to keep such records and statements
of accounts as will fully and correctly
disclose all transactions made upon
any exchange, hoard of trade, similar
institution, or place of business.
"The bill undertakes to prevent, as
far ao possible, the transfer or the

SMITH FEELS HOPEFUL
I
SENATOR IS CONFIDENT OF DEMOCRACY'S
FUTURE.
+. . ?
Administration is Carrying Out its
Campaign Fledges and Even Doing
More.
Senator E. D. Smith was in Florence
a few hours Monday. He spoke
very hopefully of the outlook in
Washington, though he thought that
the Democratic administration was
passing through a very crucial period,
and one fraught with occasion for
anxiety, lie was hopeful, because the
party and the administration had carried
out practically every campaign
VI H?A in iliA ?A/V?\1A '? 1
im vui ioc iv? i iit* ijcuiue, it nil rt'U ee Ml Oil
its pledges.
The Mexican problem and the
method In which it has been handled
by the administration, he declared,
have appealed to the nations of the
earth, so far, as a triumph of the ultimate
achievement of clear intellectuality
and common sense in control
of a delicato situation. President
Wilson and his cabinet, he said, have
followed a course apparently in conflict
with what is generally considered
the American spirit, one that
subjected them to adverse criticism,
but if the difllculties there be settled,
as they apparently will be shortly,
and peace and prosperity be brought
to Mexico, which may be reasonably
expected, without bloodshed, this administration
will have convinced the
world that devastating international'
warfare can bo avoided.
So far the president and his advisers
have succeeded in spite of rather
than with the help of certain
forces that should have been lined up
with them in their effort to exhaust
every means compatible with dignity
and honor for the peaceable settlement
of the difllculties in which we
were becoming involved.
The effect of the operation of the
new tariff and currency law will become
more apparent and generally
recognized ny the people or this country
in the near future tha;i just now.
One lias not yet been put into operation,
and one lias barely been put into
operation. All of which, coupled with
the anti-trust laws, should prove to
the country that this administration
and the Democratic party have proved
of real and practical benefit to the
whole country and to all the people.
Senator Smith says he is too busy
with present affairs to talk of personal
interests and local politics; he
is trying to get real things done in
the capital.

MOB MEMBERS ARRESTED.
?
Six Men of Aiken County Will Face
Trial for Alleged Offenses.
Weells Heath, Monroe Weathersbee,
Bud Redd, Joe Craig, L. Redd
and Bonnie Craig, all white, of Aiken,
were bound over Saturday morning
after a preliminary hearing to the
court of general sessions on a charge
of assault with intent to kill and
shooting into a dwelling house. The
preliminary was the afthermath of
the recent disorder on the Hitchcock
plantation in Aiken county, about
eight miles from Aiken, when the
farm hands went on strike. Bond
was given in the sum of $2 00 each.
When the farm hands struck, one
old noKro man. Calvin Williams, who
lived on the place, refused to quit
work. His home was visited one
night by a mob and it was testified
at the hearing that more than 1,000
shots were fired into the house. The
place was completely wrecked, but no
one was injured by the bullets as the
negroes fied. The mob then visited
the home of Manager Williams of the
Hitchcock plantation, pinned crepe
on his door and tagged the fence
with papers bearing threatening inscriptions.
The six white men are
charged with being members of the
mob.

WANT TO DELAY ACTION
SENATE SEEM DETERMINED TO
STALL LEGISLATION.
?
President is l'Trni in His Purpose and
Will Try to Force Consideration of
Reforms.
With the hope of preventing the
enactment of trust legislation at this
session of congress, a tacit agreement
to delay the legislative program is
believed to be guiding the actions of
many senators in Washington.
It is the hope of these obstructionists
that by dragging out debate on
tlie tolls exemption repeal bill and
on the various annronriatlrm mile
they can make it impossible to ad- '
journ before late in August or Sep- '
tember if any trust legislation is to N
be enacted. Their plan is, just before (
the last appropriation bill lias been 1
taken up, and after the tolls question c
lias been settled, to begin their ac- ^
tive and open work to obtain ad- "
journmcni. 1
In view of the fact that one-tliird 1
of the senators will be eager to get
back to their states to run in the E
popular elections, they county on z
much backing in their demand for r
time to mend their fences. They also 1
count on support from the House, j
where every member wants to get u
back to his district. 0
Friends of the president, however, P
state that no matter if these tactics s
should draw out the present session a
of congress until it merges with the *
new session beginning December 7, 11
the trust legislation must be enact- a
ed. They hope that when this finally v
draws upon the obstructionists the
delay program will be abandoned. ^
The passage of the agricultural ap- a
propriation bill through the Senate t
took forty days. A week or so. is, s
normally, plenty for the discussion of 1
such a measure. Passage of all kinds r
of bills and work in general in the ^
Senate has been held up through the 11
tufjci iicoo, in o 1*1 > uiniuriuimy, or 1
Republican senators to make v
si)eeclies attacking the Democratic
tariff law, which Democratic senators 0
feel obliged to answer, much as they ^
deplore the waste of time. e
Next week the Rivers and harbors f'
bill, increased in the Senate commit- 1
tee by a round of $10,000,000, will v
be reported out. This is one of the 11
prize packages in the way of a pork ^
barrel bill, with every senator wanting
all he can get for his own state. ^
A long drawn out battle is expected, c
with set speeches for distribution in a
the approaching campaign plentifully s
ornamenting the Congressional Record,
and incidentally taking up the t
Senate's time. d
The tolls debate?that is, the s
heavy, set speech part?has nearly w
concluded. Mr. Carton of New Mexi- e
co, who will speak Monday, is the c
only remaining senator who has given a
notice of his intention to speak, e
though a number of others will un- g
doubtedly make long addresses. f<
When the time comes for the vote it >
is likely that about a day will be
consumed in roll calls. ti

that the building was about to be de- ^

Led by Jauch, several of the cooler
headed department ofhcials ran to the
basement, where they found four
sticks of dynamite on which the fuses
had been burned out. Apparently an
explosion had been averted because ^
the fuses had been jammed too tightly
into the detonation caps that the t
tire was extinguished.
Then came a hurried sequel. Jauch, p
who had suffered severe injury to his (
head while serving as a soldier in the
Phillipines two years ago, was taken
to a police station and subjected to r
rigid questioning. Later the police
announced he had admitted that he, ?
himself, placed the explosives. De- j
partment officials said they believed
the watchman intended to "discover"
the dynamite before it could do harm, (
hoping to wi npron\otion for heroism. J

AWAIT REBEL NOTE
MEDIATOR** HAVE RECEIVED NO
ANSWER FROM CARRANZA.
PEACE PROSPECT GOOD
Car r ansa's Washington Representative
Takes Vp the Matter With His
t'hief?Officials Appear Sure of
Success Although Admitting Possibility
of Setback.
Whether the Mexican Constitutionalists
are to participate in peace negotiations
at Niagara Falls probably
vas known Friday. Agents of Gen.
farranza Thursday night were in telegraphic
communication with the
wiiMuiuuonanst leader after having
orwarded to him tho answer of the
South American mediators to his
nessage of protest carried to Niagara
' alls last week.
Publication of the mediators' mesage
was withheld until Gen. Carrana
has determined on his reply. Hanoi
Zubaran, minister of the interior
n Carranza's cabinet and head of
lie Constitutionalist agency in Washagton,
would not discuss the nature
f the mediators' proposals or the
robable attitude of his chief. Per011s
in touch with the Constitutionlist
agency, however, suggested that
he terms on which the mediators
roposed to receive tho Constitutionlists
into tho peace negotiations
/ould be defined.
The mediators' note, addressed to
Ir. Zubaran, reached Washington in
special delivery letter. As soon as
he message was received, the Contitutionalist
agency began preparaions
to communicate with Gen. Caranza
at Durango by a special wire.
Vhen the mediators' message had
ecu forwarded, conferences witr
heir chieftain were begun over the
ire.
Administration oflicials awaited the
utcome with considerable anxiety,
'lirougliout the day there were some
xpressions of apprehension in ofhcial
uarters over the success of mediaion
plans as originally outlined. It
/as the first time that any admission
ad been made of probable setbacks,
'et those who admitted the possibilty
of obstacles insisted that all dificulties
ultimately would be overome.
Secretary Bryan again reiterted
that mediation was progressing

'At Constitutionalist headquarters
hose engaged personality in the long
Istance deliberations -with the Contitutionalist
leader refused to say
.'hether the communication containd
a possibility of settlement of Mexian
difficulties from the Constitutionlist
point of view. One source, howver,
intimated that there were sugestions
in the note that had not been
orecast in previous dispatches from
iiagara Falls.

rants them to accept. A rejection
lay eventually mean the Washington
overnment's withdrawal of the
loral support it has been extending

It is known the mediators want the
lonstitutionalists to come into the
onference so that the solution by
eaceful methods may be an historic
xarnple to Pan-America by the way
evolutions can be ended in countries
f this hemisphere.
Put if the Constitutionalists refuse
o enter, mediation will proceed. An
.greement will bo reached between

ecognition and moral support to the

Tnited States would he expected to do
ikewise.
Gen. Carranza announced Thurslay
through agents in Washington
hat he would not make answer to
he communication of the mediators,
ior issuo his proclamation dealing
vlth the formation of a provisional
government in northern Mexico until
le had reached Saltillo. At the
tamo time it was announced that the
Constitutionalist commander in chief
lad departed from Durango on his
vay to Saltillo by way of Torreon.
The opinion of those surrounding
"'arranza regarding the throe-cornered
conference at Niagara was reflected
once more in a semi-official statenont
from Durango.
The statement follows:

TILLMAN IS FOR SMITH
1
DENIES HAVING ENDORSED GOVERNOR'S
AMBITION.
?
"The State's Good Name AVill be Better
Preserved and We Will Have
a Better Senator."
Senator Tillman Thursday gave
out the following on the South Carolina
political situation, especially
with reference to John L. McLaurin's
letter on the stand of John (?. Richards
Jr., and the governor: "I have
just seen a telegram from The News
and Courier to its correspondent here
saying McLaurin has made a public
statement to this effect:
" 'I am glad that Senator Tillman
has reached the conclusion that
peace can only come through the
election, not the defeat of Gov.
Mease, and that his candidate, Richards,
has declared for Gov. Mease.'
"To say that I am surprised, very
much surprised, does not express my
feelings. I have not given out any
such utterance, and have not had any
such thought. 1 am sure that whatever
may he Mr. Richards' attitude,
ho will regret ever having declared
for Gov. Mease. Whether peace will
come by Gov. Mease's defeat or not
I know the State's good name will
be preserved and we will have a better
senator here than if Blease is sent
to Washington.
"Of course McLaurin is swinging
onto Mease's coattail in a desperate
hope that he will thus be pulled
through and elected governor, but as
I predicted some months ago there
is no hope for him ever recovering
the confidence of the people of South
Carolina until he has expiated his
past misdeeds and sins. I am satisfied
now that if Senator Smith bears
himself like a man that this open
alliance between Mease and McLaurin
will only help to bury both of
them.
"Had McLaurin followed my advice
and exposed Measeism, its utter
selfishness, its lack of catholicity of
spirit and statesmanship, ho would
have stood some chance ofs coming
back in the future, for he would have
maue atonement for Iiis betrayal of
the people of the State. Hut now
there is no earthly chance for him,
whatever Blease does. 1 believe this
alliance between the two will cause
Gov. Blease to go down to defeat
more surely."
