reaentatlvea of NeW Tork and European j
cotton firms who rushed. to Decatur, Ala.,
to Investigate tha failure of Knight. Tan
cay 4c Co. declared today that tra-nsactlona
involving millions which preceded and pre
cipitated the crash may end tn prosecu
tions in tha federal courts.
It U alleged that irregular bills of lad
log attached to drafts for heavy amounts
wero sent to 'Xew Tork and big cotton
housfs in Europe. New Tork firms, it is
believed, have lost about fl.O09.OO0. while
Kuropear. houses may hava lost between
.0C.M) and $a.rj0.ooo. It is predicted h,re
tfcst tha failure m ill tend to revolution lxe
tha cotton business in this country by de
stroying tha confidence, of buyera in bills
of lading, which hitherto have been
honored as If they were actual . cotton.
On of the vkiiting agents, referring to the
system used In dealing in cotton, said:
' "Let ua say that a long eetablls&ed
cotton firm is doing business tn Atlanta,
Tha buyers for thia firm go out Into the
country and contract for cotton. " Let ua
say that thay buy . 10ft bales at Iecaxur,
another K at Macao and a third 100 at
Hogan. Thia cotton la shipped to At
lanta to the compress and local bills of
lading; are taken , from -.ach - town to
Atlanta. : At AUactav the' Us tafc are
gradd and fy tut bales takenr jfrom
iXrc&iur's shipment and ten from another
and mixed, it la graded to ault tha mar
ket to which It la -to be ahipped. - It is
rebaJed.
Hww Bllla Art Hawdlew.
"Sow the railroads give a' through rata
from Decatur to Liverpool, let us say.
So tha firm takes the local bill of lading
for 1C0 a!ea from Decatur and gets in
exchange from, tha railroad, a through bill
from Decatur to Liverpool for KO bales,
when as a matter of fact only ten of the
109 Decatur bales hava been used. When
this la repeated indefinitely. It can be aeen
ha possibilities there are for fraud.
"Then &ain, business here is done largely
an credit, on the honesty of the shipper. A
shipper gets blar.k bills of lading from a
railway agent and coolly forges the agent s
signature to them, otton is sold altogether
lit .outs or . i&atng. Henc tne bills are
negotiable paper la any cotton market.
Let tha shipper be A big one; let him tell tha
agent that be has cotton to ship, and re
Quirea ftvo cars at once, it ta possible- that
the cars are not available at once, so, to
satisfy the shipper the agent may prepare
bills of lading tor the cotton to be shipped
and It may never be shipped. But the
bills may be negotiated at any cotton
center."
Loral cotton men are Inclined to rejoice
at tha new that Urerpool cotton brokers
are tha heavy losers. They say that
tha Liverpool men, counting on receiving
from America cotton bought at a very
low figure, have shipped back to America
larga quar.titi of cotton to break the
American market. If the Liverpool men
hava been deceived by forged bills of lad
ing the local men claim the shortage of
cotton in England will cause tha shut
domn of tha mills there.

NEW YORK. April 3. Albert Wolter.
degenerate youth of 19 years, who gloated
over lewd pictures and was "craxy" about
women, must die In the electric chair for
the murder of Ruth Wheeler, a pretty 15-
year-old stenographer. After only one hour
asd fifty minutes of deliberation a jury
in the court of special s?ss.on found him
guilty In the first degree at 10:80 o'clock
last night, bringing to a dose a trial
marked by Its swift movement and Its
testimony of horror.

WUliam V. Kulp, foreman, answered tn a
shaking voice, "Wa have," and announced
they had found Wolter gu Ky of murder
in tha first degree. All eyes immediately
shifted toward the prisoner, ' but be waa
as stolid as a pleee of stone. '
No relatives of the murderer wera In
court to hear tha verdict. His aged par

Wolter refused to talk.
"I don't want to talk tonight. I'm tired
and I want to get a little good sleep first.'

WASHINGTON. April a Beginning its
eesaioa at 11 o'clock yesterday tn aa en
tanglement over tha question of a quorum,
tha senate adjourned a few minutes before S
o'clock, because It waa unable to muster
a sufficient number of Its members to con
tinue business. Tha debate on tha section
of the bill permitting railroada ta enter
into traffic agreements continued througn
out the afternoon, the principal partiet
pents being Senators Crawford, Sutherland,
Clapp, Cummins, Eiklr.s and Carter. For
tha most part the controversy partook ol
what to a layman should b considered
bair-rplltucg. tha chief contention being
over the point as to whether the provision
In tha Crawford amendment making Agree
ment "subject to the approval of the
Interstate Commerce commission." baa the
e.'tect of requiring thia approval before the
agreements take effect. -
After the proa and cons of th's questlrm
had been presented at some length It ap
peared for a few moments aa though a
vote - might be obtained. The ayaa and
noa had been ordered when tvmator Dol
liver expressed a desire to be heard on the
amendment. Aa be Cid not want to pro
ceed at ao late an hour, some friendly
senator raised the point of no quorum.
Rett t all Ordered.
Only forty-four senators responded to
their names and tha senate waa compelled
to close IU session at an eajLer hour than
Mr. Klktn desired. Ha tried to obtain aa
order for another 11 o'clock meeting, but
aa the call of tha senate bad begun ho
waa ruled out of order. Tha senate will
not meet tomorrow until 11 o'clock, th
usual hour.
Quoting from tha annual message of
President Roosevelt In 190 In support of
tha proposition that the railroads should
be permitted to enter Into traffic agree
ments. Senator Crawford of South Dakota
today asserted that Mr. Rooaevelt waa still
a "living force notwithstanding bo may
not be president."
Senator Crawford quoted from two
other messages of President rajoaevelt
and contended that tha republican plat
form of 101 declaring for agreements "made
subject to tha approval of the Interstate
Commerce commission waa In accord with
tha Roosevelt views.
Senator Clapp pointed out that Mr.
Roosevelt's declaration bad specifically
favored tha "previous approval of the
commission.
Working Aarreeaaeata.
Mr. Crawford asserted no lawyer of
standing would contend that under the
pending amendment working agreements
subject to the approval of the Interstate
commerce commission would be valuable
without such approval. Mr. Clapp under
took to say that both Senators A Id rich and
Elktna had so construed the possibilities.
In reply to a question from Mr. Crawford,
however, Mr. Elkins said ha had been In
correctly quoted. Mr. "Aldrich waa not then
In the chamber.
Mr. Crawford said be' and tha minority
of the. committee of the Interstate Com
merce commission differed xs to the practi
cability of having the commission pass oai
every Item in rata schedules made In con
formity "with traffic agreements.
"But If the ratea are unreasonable, "
Interjected Senator Jones of Wa-hington,
"the public must go on paying them."
Senator Carter of Montana, supporting
Mr. Crawford's position, would nave the
ratea filed with the agreements. Senator
Elkins called attention to the fact that if
found unreasonable any schedule sub
mitted to the commteslon could be sus
pended, under the terms of tha bill. . The
agreement would bind only the railroads.
He "said If followed to Its 'legitimate
conclusion the Cummins amendment would
allow the commission to fix ratea all over
the country and tear down one community
at tbe expense .of the other. " j
Mr. Crawford, resuming his speech." said
hla purpose was to bring the railroads
under the supervision of law In matters
In which there was ' abuses ' under tha
present law. Ho said" that not Until the
bill was entirely completed could he' say
that fca waa for the measure as an
entirety.
After tha South Dakota senator had con
cluded. Mr. Sutherland spoke In advocacy
of the Crawford amendment. He agreed
with a view expressed by Mr. Carter that
necessarily the commission would require
tha filing with t-ech agreement of the rates
provided under It, and that In many canoe
the rates would be examined before the
approval of the commission.

Mr. Penton said that irw of the matter
had not occurred to htm before, nor did
he believe that tha question of pecuniary

Attorney Ralston wanted to know about

"Who do you mean' by 'of congress'?' "

Bailey Wagftner Talk Freely About
Politics, Men asd Event from
Democratic Point
General Counsel Bailey P. Waggener of
tha Missouri Pacific railroad and former
democratic leader In Kansas was In
Omaha Friday and said that he f avora
Rooaevelt for the next president of the
United KUtea and would like to aee Bryan
In 'the senate. Now that be baa retired
from active politics, he thinks that tha
railroads should keep out of. po tiles and
that the railroada and people should get
together for mutual Interests.
"I am Inclined to -think;" said Mr. Wag
gener, "that I would like to vote for
Rooaevelt for our next president. He'a tha
biggest man thia country ever produced
wn'n f,rPPfHj Into the White House
Things had come to such a paaa that cap
ital was getting too important and a man
like Roosevelt was beaded to put a check
to It. He on.y asked for law enforcement
and t don't ..remimber of ever hearing a
railroad man say, anything serious In op
position to Mr. Roosevelt.
"Bryan ought to be la the United States
senate, and I hope that fee will run for tha
place. He'a an able orator, a debater, and
In many respecta a. statesman, and it
would be aa honor to Nebraska to hava a
man like Bryan In the senate. I hope
ha runs."
Speaking of the poslflon of railroada with
regard to politics, he said: "I think that
railroada. should keep out of politic. It'a
true that .lhelr Interests In the past hava
been on the defensive, but the people and
the ral roads ought to get nearer together.
Each r.ceda the other, and what helps on
ultimately helps the other. If tha rail
roads would keep out of politics tha feel
ing that they are back of every candidate
for office would soon die out. Tha people
are. at the bottom, fair, and If given a
chance they will act fairly, ao I think the
railroads wou d gain in the end If they
would keep entirely out of politics."
Mr. Waggener is in Orraha in the Inter
ests of the road In tha matter of building
viaducts In the city. He Waa accompanied
by Superintendent D. C 'Benardi and C .
Smith, bridge enginrer.
