Printing Facts
If type could be locked up so
that all of it would be absolutely
of the same height; if engravings
could be made $o that the surface
would be absolutely even; if the
bed and tympan printing-press
were mathematically uniform,
make-ready would be unnecessary.
But because this is a finite world,
the printer must correct the in?
equalities in the plate, the type
form, and the press, by building
up with paper, chalk, or some
other substance underlays and
overlays. This process is called
make-feady. The difference be?
tween a good and a bad piece of
presswork is largely determined
by the care and skill of the press?
man who makes the job ready.

ATLANTA, Ga? Oct. 11.?Cotton pins
in Douglas and Sudgo Counties .are
being posted with warnings to close
en account of the price of cotton, Sher?
iff A. S. Baggett, of Douglas County,
reported to Governor Dorsey to-day.
He added that he had offered a reward
of ?800 for arrest of the guilty per?
sons.
The Sheriff wrote that a lawless
crowd was trying to get control of the
situation and suggested that an offer
of a reward by the Governor would
have a beneficial effect. Governor Dor?
sey replied that threats against prop?
erty in Georgia constitute a misde?
meanor, for which the Governor is not
authorized to offer a reward, but that
in case of destruction of any property,
which'is a felony, he would be irlad to
offer the highest reward possible un
der the law.
Owners of threatened gins are guard?
ing them at a cost of $10 to $15 a
day, the Sheriff said.
No gins have yet been reported
burned or otherwise damaged in Geor?
gia, but many have been posted' with
threats of damage unless they cease
operation.
Owners Summoned to Confer

call by W. L. Jones, head of the county
division of the American Cotton As?
sociation, for a mass meeting Wednes?
day night, when methods to obtain
protection for owners of the properties
wi !! be discussed.
Five of the gins are owned by D. C.
Cooper, of Oxford, and the warning
poster was signed "Committee of One
Hundred." The cotton association, it
is ?aid, proposes to openly state to all
cotton growers that the ginners will
operate their plants if given satisfac?
tory guaranties that the property will
not be endangered, otherwise they will
be closed down.

the discovery this morning of roughly

pound and cottonseed to S40 a ton.
Governor To Go the Limit
COLUMBIA, S. C, Oct. 11. Until
to-day threats against cotton fins liad
been restricted to the Piedmont or
upper section of South Carolina, but
to-day Governor Coofier received ad?
vices from Bishopville of a threat
made'against a prominent ginner near
Bishopville, county seat of Lee County,
in the lower half of the county.
Farmers of Anderson County, where
numerous threats are said to have been
made, at a meeting Saturday expressed
belief that the thi*eats were being made
by men from tho "outside."
In reply to advices from Harris And?
erson, prosecuting officer of the Tenth
Judicial Circuit, Governor Cooper ad?
vised him that, the state authorities
would go to the limit of their power
to bring to trial any persons found to
be involved in "night riding."

Judson Kept
Data on Deal^
Under His Hat
iConllnuod from pag? onel
! paying his bills with currency and de?
stroying the receipts for them almost
as soon as they were received. He de
j clared that he considered $10,000 in
?cash to be a "small sum" for a man
, to carry about with him.
Judson said that when be received
from Fanshawe & Co. $123,292.98 in
casli as part of his profits on the sale
of, a large block of bonds to the State
Comptroller's office he deposited $90,
000 in a safte deposit box in the Fifth
Avenue branch of the Metropolitan
Trust Company and allowed it to re?
main there for a year. The fact that
it drew no interest during this period
did not .appear to worry him,
In explaining his desire to receive
most of his profits in eash.-Judson said
that after the outbreak of war in
11)14 he had an "inspiration" that it,
would be highly advisable to have
large amounts of money in places
where they would be easily and quick?
ly available, ?jlle said be had been
through several financial panics and
thought this the safest method to pur?
sue. He declared tha't be also found
it more convenient to do business with
cash than with checks.
Pressed by Mr. P?cora to tell just
how h?? disposed of one item of $10,000
in ca>h received from Fanshawe & Co.,
Judson said he had bought jewelry
from Tiffany and also from Charlton
on Fifth Avenue. He declared that he
had also made a number of unprofit?
able investments, but preferred not to
go into detail about them, as he did
not wish to "add to the store of knowl?
edge that has accumulated on the sub?
ject of how a fool and his money are
parted."
Judson, who is a man about si>:ty,
wore dark glasses when he entered
the District Attorney's office, where the |
inquiry is being conducted before Jus?
tice Frederic Kcrnochan. lie had to be !
assisted to the witness chair by his
attorney, Senator Walter R, Herrick.
Later the witness said that bis eye?
sight had been failing since last June.
During the recess a reporter asked him
how ho managed to count, the large
Minis of money he said he usually had
with him if his eyesight was so liad.
Judson reached into his inside pocket i
and drew out an unfolded bundle of
what, seemed to be several hundred
dollars in new money. It was divided
by elastic hands. Around the one dol-I
lar hills there was one band, .around ?
the fives there were two, the tens were
held by three and the twenties by four
elastics.
During the time that Judson was tes- j
tifying he thumbed a well worn five- !
cent piece, although he was not at al! j
nervous at any time and seemed anx- .
ious to answer Mr. Pecora's questions'
as well as his memory woujd permit, i
He gave his address as the Plaza Hotel
and said he had been living there since
1907. His expenses a' \}],'. Pla:7a, he
said, usually were paid in cash.
Many Friends in Albany
In telling of his many trips to Al?
bany to discuss prospective bond in?
vestments with Comptroller Eugene M,
Travis and Deputy Comptrolled James
A. Wendell it developed that the wit?
ness bas a wide .acquaintance at. the
state capital. He said that, when he
was graduated from college, in 1882, he
became assistant business manager of
The Albany Evening Journal, owned by
William Barnes, although it was not
until 1914 that he acquired the 100
shares of stock in that publication
which he later pledged, with $50,000
worth of New York City bonds, as col?
lateral for a loan of $46,000 which he
obtained from the Metropolitan Trust
Company.
Judson said his father had for many
years been chief examiner in the State
Banking Department, and that he him?
self had been for some time account?
ant and statistician to the State Board
of Railroad Commissioners. He said
it was during this time, that hi? first
became acquainted with Deputy Comp?
troller Wendell, to whom he frequent?
ly referred yesterday as "Jimmy."
When Judson took the stand bo was
informed of his right to refuse to
answer questions that might incrim?
inate him, and when asked to sign a
waiver of immunity Mr. Herrick in?
formed the court that while his client
had been willing to do this, tie had re?
fused to permit it.
Mr. P?cora asked Judson who had as?
sisted him in carrying on his bond
transactions and the witne?i replied
that he liad employed three stenog
raphers who had acted as private sec?
retaries, hut that one had gone to
Havana, another to Lake Champlain
and the third to California. The wit
;:i ss could - ldom ? ? cal 1 the details of
any of the seven bond sal. ! carried oui
with the State Comptroller's office
through Fanshawe & ( o. until Mr.
P?cora related them from the records
of that concern. Judsorl declared that
i !' they were on the Fanshawe books
they must be ? o.
Mr. P?cora made persistent efforts
to ascertain why Judson's name had
been concealed in the various ?hals
carried on by him through Fanshawe,
v. file in ten transactions with the stat?
carried on through other concerns lie
was name.d as the CompTf^Her's agent.
To all these querb s tiie witni
variably answered: "Becau ?? i' was
most convenient for mc and because
Fanshawe & Co. had the clerks, book?
keepers and facilities for handling
such business."
Judson testified that the only ag e?
ment be bad with Fanshawe in the
state bond deals was a "gentleman's
agreement" made orally and that be
had no idea what had become oi thi
profits not collected by himself. II?'
presumed thoy had gone to Fanshawe

Red Admiral Deposed
By Mutinous Sailors
From The 'Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.?
Mutinous Bolshevik sailors have
deposed Admiral Raskilnikov,
head of the Soviet. Baltic fleet, ac?
cording to a report received to?
day by (lie State Department.
Apparently the outbreak occurred
simultaneously in the fleet and
on shore, but was less successful
on shore, being put down by
armed -force. Saratov, Tambof,
Wiasma and Smolensk, important
railroad points, were reported to
have been the scenes of outbreaks
' reaching the proportions of a re?
volt against the Bolshevik regime.
' asked if ha recalled a sale of $1,061,
100 worth of bonds to the state in
Anril, L916, Judson1 replied: "I do not.
I have had a very poor memory all
my life.''
"Is that why you never kept busi?
ness accounts -or records?because you
preferred to trust to a poor memory?"
snapped Mr. P?cora.
The profits derived by Judson and
; Fanshawe in this deal amounted to
$32,645.48, of which $16,804.80 went to
judson, and $15,840.68 to tin* brokers.
The witness said that from the figures
he would imagine it was a joint ac?
count between himself and Fanshawe,
although he had no idea why the profit
was split the way it was. Prior to this
tb( same concern put through a deal
for Judson in which the profit to the
bond trader had been $3,241.76, while
that derived by Fanshawe, according
to the records, was only $48. 5. The
witness could not explain the great
difference in the profits received by
the broke!- in the two deals.
Mr. P?cora refreshed Judson's mem?
ory concerning a bond sale made ir
May, 1915 in which the nrufit, amount?
ing to $24>912.90, enriched him b\
$23,077.16. of this amount Judson ad?
mitted receiving $17,000 in cash, al?
though he could not recall what he ha<
done with it. lie swoiv that in non?
of the transactions did V- split hi?
profits with any one. II- said tha
ne kept most of his money in sat'i
deposit boxes of the Mercantile Trus
Company and the Metropolitan Trus*.
On May, 23, 1916, Judson sold to th<
state a block of bonds on ivhich hi
profit amounted to $148,292.98, whili
that of Fanshawe was S22.807. Th?
witness admitted that he collectoi
$123,292.98 of his profit in currenc;
the m-xt day. He deposited $90,00
of this in a deposit box in the Metro
politan Trust Company and it re
mained there for a year, lie said. II

Witness Tens of Deals
Judson w; 3 asked t ?> give his own
version of the negotiations carried on
between himself and the State Comp?
troller's office which led up to the sale
of November 16, 1917, whim $2,013,000
were disposed of to the state, about
one year after Fanshawe- said they
were t.?> lie sold. In telling of his ac?
tivities in arranging for this sale the
witness displayed an intimate knowl?
edge of state finances and the printed
data issued in connection with them by
the Comptroller each month. He said
he usually was able to tell when the
Comptroller would have money on hand
for bond investments.
Judson said that in some cases he
discussed prospective bond sales with
Wendell;, but in most instances the ar?
rangements were made with Comptrol?
ler Travis personally. fie admitted
that there had been occasions when
bonds were sold to the state ?it more
than the quoted market figure.
The questioning about this particular
block of bonds brought up the subject
of "wash sales" made by interested
parties in order to bring about the
quotation of certain prices on the Stock
Exchange. The witness was asked
whether he had given to the firm of
Folsom & Adams orders to buy bonds
at certain prices just before making
sa*lfs to the state.
?'Wasn't it your intention to make
certain prices on issues you intended
selling later to the State Comptroller's
office?" asked Mr. P?cora.
Judson replied that such mighl be
the case, but he was not certain about
it.
Deputy Comptroller Wendell waived
immunity and testified during the
modning session yesterday that Comp?
troller Travis passed personally on all
offers of bonds mad?' to the state bj
di -i ? r - and that in no instance li
been consulted by his chief before such
in vest men ts were made. II?? said hi
had know:: Judson for twenty-fivi
years and that the latter had b? ? n si 11
ing bond I 0 ? he state since 1906.

Navy to Install Stations to Give
Position to. Vessels Lost
in the Fog
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.- Wireless com?
pass stations, similar to those which
have been in successful operation on
the North Atlantic coast for more than
a year, are to be installed alang the
Great Lakes. These stations, operat? ?1
by the Navy Department, enable the
operators to give to ships lost in a fog
their position within a narrow radius
of accuracy.
Fogs on the upper lakes have claimed
one freighter and thirty lives as vic?
tims this year and records of previous
years show a heavy toil of shippirfg.
Suocess of the system on the Atlantic
coast led to its present installation on
tiic Pacific and now, it is announced,
the inland water.'; are to be similarly
protected.
One of the stations is to be built at
Detour, Mich., and others at Grand
Marais, Mich.; White Fish Point,
Mich.; Eagle Harbor, .Mich.; Thunder
Bay Island, in Lake Huron; and an?
other probably will be located either
on Wind Point, near Kenosha, Wis.,
or Grosse Point, Evanston, 111. others
are being planned for Lake Supu^'ior,

nople for America Since War;

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 11 ?By
The Associated Press).?One thousand
\rm?r.ian and Jewish emigrants
sailed from here Saturday for America
on board the Turkish ship Gul Djemal.
the first steamer d?parti??/ for an
American port from Constantinople
since the war.
They departed without consent
French authorities in control here, arid
many did not hold American passpoits.
Charles E. Allen, United States con?
sul in this city, is understood to have
notified the State Department in Wash?
ington that the steamer does not bear
a proper bill of health.
The ship, which was formerly the
Germanic, of the White Star Line, is
, the property of a Turkish company,
but is under charter by Greeks. She
has been the subject of involved dis
1 p?tes for the last fortnight. French
officials demanded that she be returned
to Turkish jurisdiction before depart?
ing, while the British a serted that
the French attitude was blocking Turk
if;h commercial development and criti?
cized Consul Allen's attitude in object?
ing to the vessel's departure without
complying with American regulations.
During the turmoil preceding the de?
parture of the vessel the passengers
were without food, but finally the cap?
tain made a speech declaring the Brit?
ish had guaranteed the ship would sail. |
With the passengers provided with
Italian and British passports and with
a band playing, the steamer left the
harbor.
