PLACES BEOABDED AS NUISANCES C'omraUaloaer of Corporations Give Ilia Vleiva la ItesaOoee to Request f President Toft for format loo. ' e The crusade of the Chicago Board of Trade agalnict the bucket shops of the country, and at this time against the bucket shops of Nebraska, haa the support of the Omaha Grain exchange, which maintains these placea are detrimental to legitimate Business. Many forms of bucket shops have been contrived and operated tinder the title of exchanges which In reality were without sny features of real buslnes. but were known as skin games. Suit Is now pending against the bucket shops of Nebraska, nearly all of which are operated In the southern part of the state, not one having been opened along the Omaha road to the north. President Tnft called upon the commis sioner of corporations for a report on the dealings In "futures" and the cmmls-iloner In his report says: "Hedging la a very important and com mon future transaction In certain farm products. Cotton mills sell their clot many months In advance. They must therefore assure themselves of a supply of raw cotton. This necessitates hedging. For example, a cotton merchant agrees in February to furnish next October to a spinner 1,000 bales of cotton at 10 cents a pound. The merchant believes he can buy this cotton of the producer next October at a price which will enable Mm to make a profit. But crop conditions may Inter vene, greatly Increasing the price of actual cotton. Therefore, when the merchant makes this agreement he hedges it also by buying on the cotton exchange future contracts deliverable next October of 1,000 bales. "Again, hedging benefits tolh farmer and spinner by reducing costs. That Is, hedg ing haa to some degree relieved the mer chant of a rUk. It therefore enables and forcea him to reduce his charges. While the spinner does not often hedge, he buys of merchants who do. The merchants hedgo practically all their transactions. In short, I regard hedging aa necessary and proper. It Is not speculation. It Is the avoidance of speculation." Grain conditions of trade are similar to cotton and the obnoxious feature of both la the bucket shop nuisance. When the commissioner was questioning a witness as to the results of one of the proposed bills were made a law he replied: "Thai bill would destroy in sixty days the business fabric it has taken fifty years to build. It is not necessary to blow up a whole ship to remove a few barnacles." The commissioner adds: "The desirable end. of course. It to eliminate the evil and retain the good. Whether this can be done and how I do not presume to say. I feel clear, however, that where an ex change by Its own regulations, by Its own action or neglect abandons In whole or In part the beneficial functions which are the sole justification for its existence it places Itself In a very dubious position, Omaha Man Passes Highest; Exam in U, S.

This question Is being asked daily throughout the long elretch of Islands ex tending from the Uritish Virgin group to British Guiana on the mainland of South America. Backed by the influence of the British government, ail the resourcea of science and the wealth of the English spinners and dealers, the-planters in the Islands believe they can answer the ques tion In the affirmative. Sea Island cotton was Introduced In the West Indies aa an experiment In the first years of the present century, but did not begin to attract wide attention until 1904. Then shipments totalling 36.C25 pounds of high grade cotton from, St. Kltts and Nevis caused the American raisers to take notice. From that date the Increase In West India cotton has been the talk of the English manufacturers. In 19 8 the crop for a few Islands was 263.778 pounds, a phenomenal advance, and In 1906 tho crop was 126,456 pounds, more than 150,000 pounds over what It was two years before. Them, figures made such an Impression upon the minds of tho American planter that they are said to have reached a de cision not to let the West Indies have any more of their seed. There Is the crux of the situation, and the English planters are Waiting hopefully to learn whether they eon continue on their prevent prosperous way, or whether In the course' of time their transplanted seed will become vltated and they will be at the end of their rope for lack of fresh stock. Scientific propogatlon of all obtainable varieties for producing seed has been under way tn Barbados for several years, and the planters of St. Kltts and other placea are now buying their seed there, paying 14 cents per pound. But, while the Barbados seed Is giving excellent satisfaction there la the lingering susplolon that some day that also will weaken under the strain of Inbreeding or over development. The Imperial Department of Agriculture la doing a splendid work. Its specialty ls botanical gardens where an Incessant ef fort is made to acclimatise the native pro ducts of one section of the empire In an other. It la constantly growing new things in strange places, and because of the world wide extent of Its feeders In colonies In every corner of the globe. It has excep tional opportunities for experiments tn transplanting. The botanical garden at Dominica, In richness and completeness, it said to stand second only to the famous one In Ceylon. Cotton was eagerly seized upon by the department and Is being treated along practical lines. Not only do the govern ment experts watch with minute care the crops they are growing In the official garden, but they go Into the plantations. When they see a particularly hardy plaht with desirable individual characteristics, they mark It, From this time the plant is watched closely and, If at the time of picking. It seems better and more hardy than Ma fellows, it is set apart and its seed planted over and Oyer; again to dis cover whether It waa merely a "sport" or a useful, permanent variation. By such methodB It U hoped to develop spe cial varieties for every Island, exactly suited to the conditions under which they first appeared. . . The spread of Sea island cotton was largely due to work of Mr.. P. Wade of London, who began In 1904m with a plan tation In Montserrat . thai ,was. S30,000 tn debt. Today It la said tope free of all Incumbrances and to be o paying hand aomely. Last year one plantation of sixty acres In St. Kltts cleaned 1 13,000, largely because of cotton. Estates Khat ten years ago could have been bought for a song are now rated like corner lots In a boom town. The boom eventually will strike Its normal level, but It the cotton does not de teriorate, the land will atlll remain enor mously valuable. There are few plants so thoroughly de pendent upon the location of the ground in relation to the ocean as Sea Island cot ton, and the differences In quality and quantity tn areas sharply bounded are as tonishing. For Instance, St. Vincent, in tho windward group, four degrees South of St. Kltts, Is said to produce the finest cot ton tn the West Indies, a grade that sells from II to 18 cents more than the St. Kltts' product. In St. Kltts there Is an area about three miles square, which produces as high as 860 pounds of lint per acre. Thie Is an especially favored spot on the south side of the island, protected from the northeast gales. A yield of 250 pounds Is obtained In other spots on this Island where tt will grow profitably at all. Nevis, ten miles from S. Kltts, gets but a paltry 100 pounds per acre, while Montserrat, forty miles away, gets 260 pounds. Apparently only continued planting determines who Is the drawer of a lucky location In the cotton land lottery. In St. Kltta the area cf maximum production Is defined almost as sharply aa If by, a fence. The boll weevil has (not reached the Islands where cotton is doing so well, but the planters are doing a vast amount of spraying to head off such pests. They have a horrible example In Antigua, where, during the last two years, the cotton bud maKgot Injured the crop to badly that the enterprlso was nearly abandoned. How ever, the landlords took heart once more and now have 300 acres In cotton. This Is reported to be doing well, because the weather was hot and dry In the last bud ding season, "a condition the maggot can not abide. To further the war on pests, the imperial Department of Agriculture undertakes to buy and disinfect any new seed brought Into an Island, and to watch It afterward to see whether the disin fectant was effective. Tobacco and sugar were formerly the great staples of the Caribbean, but tobacco growing died a natural death and sugar was scarcely paying when cotton loomed on the horizon. With It came a provi dential disoovery. This was that cotton Is planted In May and June and picked In November the month for planting sugar cane. Hence, no time need be lost between seasons. The discovery again made cane a valuablo asset where cotton was ranted. It was a case of killing two birds with one stone, most of the preliminary work for the cane being incidental to the cotton cultivation. This double tilling Is con tinued two years, then the ground Is planted in pigeon peas, which are later plowed under as nourishment for the soil. The other fertilizers are of the chemical kind and are Imported from the United States. " Ginning facilities have been provided In St. Kltts and other big producing Islands, and $27 per ton Is paid for seed. The cot ton seed oil Is shipped to Barbados for re fining. The St. Kltts bale weighs C22 pounds, and the freight on It to Liverpool Is about 4.37 per bale. A socialistic departure made by the Im perial Department of Agriculture should be a matter of Interest to students of economics and advocates of government ownership. Cotton was Introduced In the Virgin Islands by tho government experi ment station. It did well. At that time the sole Industries in the Islands were fish ing and raising a few cattle and sheep. The scientists furnished seed to peasants living near and persuaded them to try It. These pioneers soon found that cotton paid them and the industry became general. However, the Inhabitants of the Virgin Islands were exceedingly poor, and all to gether could not ralso funds for a gin. The department entered the commercial field by building a gin and offering to buy cotton In small lots at the usual rates An outlet for their products having been found, the Islanders of courso raised more cotton. The ginnery Is run on strictly honest commercial lines and the profits go to the government. The experiment In the Virgin Islands has worked so well that the Income from the ginnery equals all other revenues of the government put to gether. The government ha fostered ' the enter prise in other Islands by advancing money to the planters. The manner of collecting these loans was to levy an export tax of 1 cent per pound. But the government Is now anxious to get out, feeling that the industry is well enough established to support Itself. One objection to the ex port duty was that it was a flat rate, betng the same for Inferior cotton selling at 10 cents per pouna as on that soiling at SS cents. To take the place of the government as a sort of wet nurse to -cotton growing, the British Cotton Growing association has been incorporated by royal charter. It Is lending money where assistance Is needed Among other things. It undertakes to act as a commlnslon and clearing house for the crop, provides cheap Insurance, fur nishes cheap transportation from the Is lands to Liverpool or Southampton, has agents who encourage the tenants, and publishes timely and valuable bulletins In addition to those Issued by the govern ment. Among the association's members In council are about fifty' of England's biggest men In the cotton business, in cluding spinners, dyers, printers, weavers, representatives of labor organizations and members of the nobility. The association also has a West African branch. By TREDEBIO 3. KASJZTjr. Tomorrow "Curing the Insane." HOWARD STAYS IN THE PEN Inventor of Aircastle Instead of Aero plane Will Not Be Paroled. LAW STRONGER THAN PINK INX B. T. Swobe, Whom, Horror Robbed, Meets 11 1 in at, tho Prison with Probation Officer Bernatein, ad J. J. Derlaht. Those persons, egged on by a certain pink paper, that have been parading a plan to get W, W. Howard out of the penitentiary because, they said, he liad In vented an aeroplane by which he waa to nrtch prosperity, have sustained a terri ble jolt. They have at. last found out, as Tho Bee stated some time ago, that a man Who has "done time" in other penitentiaries Is not eligible to narole under the Ne braska laws. Furthermore, they have dis covered that Howard's Invention is an air castle instead of an airship. J. J. Derlght and Probation Officer Bern stein have returned from Lincoln, where they saw Howard In the prison and had a talk with him. "It appears that besides doing time In Illinois he was In the penitentiary at Jack son, Mich.," said Mr. Bernstein. "By a coincidence, we met on the train going down E. T. Swobe, whose house In Omaha Howard robbed, and we prevailed on him to accompany us. Howard's first remark to Mr. Swobe waa a cool one: " 'We met under slightly different cir cumstances last time, Mr. Swobe,' said he." According to Mr. Bernstein, Howard dis appointed both Mr. Swobe and J. J. De rlght by not adhering to the 'truth In his conversation. Mr. Derlght bears this out. "No, I don't want him paroled to me, even if he should be paroled," said the automobile dealer. Judge Estelle alone Is not entirely shaken. "Howard might," opines he, "be a good citlsen yet, even if he haa be eh In the pen itentiary several times." But Howard will first have to serve out his term. Examination of his famous airship shows that all this amounts to Is a set of plans for an aeroplane, which Is not so frlxht fully difficult to construct simply on paper.
