Attorney-General Asked for In?
formation as to Indictment
of "Bulls." .
SERIOUS ACCUSATION
[Widely Talked That Department
of Justice Allowed Itself
to Be "Used."
CSpcclal to Tho Tlmes-DlBpatch.)
Washington. April 30.?Tho AVall
direct "buns" and "bears" ore to have
an Inning at an early (late under the
ecveral resolutions Just Introduced In
Congress Jjy Representative Ulockman.
Of Alabar,"' .
Tho f)' .k ?' resolution calls upon the
Attorney-C-onoral for an account of
what information ho had as a basis
of tho Indictments obtained against
Frank B. Ilaync and William P. Brown,
of New Orleans; Eugene Scales, of
Texas, and James A. Patten, of Chi?
cago.
The indictments, charging the men
with forming a pool to advance the
price of cotton and with maintaining a
"corner," were returned In New York
In May, 1910, practically at tho cul?
mination of what was regarded as one
of tho most successful campaigns ever
conducted In the cotton market.
Thcro wns on Instant accusation
that the Department of Justice had
been stirred to activity by tho bears
of the Now York cotton market, caught
woefully short and unable to protect
themselves except at costly prices.
The cry was naturally largest among
-farmers and in the South. It was de?
clared that the department had per?
mitted Itself to' be used in manipula?
tion of the market.
Mr. Blackmail's first resolution asks
for information to determine the pro?
ceedings of the department against
Hayrie and others. The two other res?
olutions are In 'line with sentiments
of ihe South and the farmers In other
parts of the country. There has been
a feeling that while for years the bears
of the New York cotton market were
constantly accused of combining to
depress the price of cotton, there was
never an action against them at law.
Almost nt the first success of the hull
operators In Now York. It was Raid,
' the department acted. Tho second
resolution directs the deportment to
Institute proceedings against the per?
sons alleged to have combined In re?
straint of trado by forming n pool to
corner cotton.
The third directs the department to
Institute proceedings against persons
alleged to have conspired to advance
the prlco of wheat by a corner.
The third resolution Is mado espe?
cially notable by reason of tho fact
that Patten, Indicted with the cotton
men with whom ho was alleged to
have operated, was reported a year,
previous to have been the leader In
the bull campaign that sent wheat so
high as to causo an Increase in the
price of Hour and bread, though there
were no proceedings against him ot
any ono elso for that alleged com?
bination.
The Departmont of Justice recently
announced that It would appeal from
Judge Noyes's decision, and that if
tue appeal were sustained It would
proceed against all violators of tho
Sherman act who "cornered" the mar?
kets. In the meantime, there have
been many protests against the de?
partment's Indictments of men who
advanced prices.
Tho men Indicted say they acted
Independently. In the evldonce against
Iheni were papers said to be agree?
ments between themselves and South?
ern and New Rngland spinners. There,
were no Indictments against the lat?
ter, however.
It is very probable that Representa?
tive Blackmen's resolutions will havo
favorable action. The cotton men
have a wide sympathy, and sentiment

LIC LIBRARY
I Richmond Education Association
to Discuss Plan at Annual
Meeting.
Having been successful in roost of Ha
undertakings, tho Richmond Education
Association Is now preparing to launch
a movement for the establishment In
P.lchmond of a free public library, and
Initial steps in this direction will be
taken at the unnunl meeting to take
place Tuesday night. May 9, In the
John Marshall High School.
E. t.\ Minor. In charge of the Carne?
gie Library nt Washington, will be the
principal speaker on this occasion, and
will make an address In behalf of the
establishment of a freo library in this
city. It Is the purpose of the associa?
tion to enlist the co-operation and sup?
port of kindred organizations and the
citizens In general in furthering this
object.
The need of a library has long been
apparent to local educators, and It is
believed by them that tho plan to es?
tablish an Institution of this character
will meet with public approval.
Luring thc past year tho Kducatlon
Association has been successful In nu?
merous undertakings. But with the
idea of further accomplishments, a
larger membership Is desired, and those
Interested are now about to start an
aggressive campaign to add new names
to the organization's membership rolls.
One of the most conspicuous achieve?
ments of the past twelve months was
the work uf the association in secur?
ing from the City Council appropria?
tions for (he construction of three now
[ school buildings.
A series of Instructive lectures has
taken place during ihe year, under
tho aiispices of the association, includ?
ing that of Professor Zucblin, of Bos?
ton, on "The Twentieth Century
School": Miss Florence Marshall, on
"Individual Work for Women"; Miss
[Julia Bogers, "Nature Study Talks," ano
Miss Lucy Wlieelock, who addressed the
teachers of the various kindergarten
?lapses.
During the last week of'this month
the association plans to give an art ex?
hibit. A feature of this event will be
free admission to all public school stu
| dents.
Another forthcoming event, as a re?
sult of the efforts of the association,
will be the meeting here nest Novem?
ber of the National Municipal League.

MONEY'S WORTH?
Monetary Commission Spends
$200,000, and Now Results
Are Called For.
[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.]
Washington, April 30.?At last tho
National Monetary Commission has
como to light, and Is about to tell
what It has been doing for tho last
two years.
Two hundred thousand dollars have
been spent by the commission. This
Is the substuncc of tho reply which
will bo made by Chairman Nelson W.
Aldrlch, In response tu the Joint reso?
lution Introduced In the House sev?
eral days ago by Representative Fitz?
gerald, chairman of tho Houso Com?
mittee on Appropriations. The reso?
lution has already passed the House,
and It Is expected, will meet with no
opposition In the Senate. Neither Sen?
ator Aldrlch nor any member of tho
commission has any objection to sub
milling a detailed account of the ex?
penditures of the commission to Con?
gress; in fact, the commission feels
that It couln not well refuse, to make
tho statement requested In the Fitz?
gerald resolution.
Members of the commission recog?
nise that the financial statement will
he subjected to criticism. They like?
wise recognize tho. probability of leg?
islation looking to the abolition of the
commission. Senator Cummins, of
Iowa, has already Introduced a resolu?
tion calling for the final report next
December. The Cummins resolution
and the Fitzgerald resolution are gen?
erally accepted as preliminary steps to
putting It finally out of business.
Notwithstanding these resolutions,
and the widespread belief that they
will be enacted into law, the commis?
sion is going right along with Its
work. It has Just sent out invitations
to practically every Important Organi?
zation in the country to appear and ex?
change vlewB on tho monetary situa?
tion.
Of the $200,000 which have been
spent, a very considerable portion has
been expended In payment of salaries
Slid In the purchase of books and for
printing and binding. One objection
that lias been raised to the further con?
tinuance of the, commission is that It
has on its membership several politi?
cal "lame ducks," who not only draw
$7,500 a year each, but In addition
have all expenses paid.

CLUB MEMBERS CALL
OPPOSITION SELFISH
President Kirk Answers Statement Issued by
Clay Ward Annex League Regarding West
hampton Car Service.
In answer to a statement Issued yes?
terday by .lames L. O'Kccfe and others,
as a committee from the Clay Ward
Annex League, In opposition to the
proposed new routing and schedule of
the. Westhatnpton cars. President Kirk
of (he Country Club of Virginia, yes?
terday defended the proposed plan,
pointing out that It gave overwhelm?
ing advantages to the greater number,
and that the supposed hardship on a
few citizens living on Floyd A venu?
between lioblnson Street and the citv
limits, a distance of only seven
blocks, hail been greatly exaggerated".
Members Arc fit Iren?.
"The Country Club'of Virginia," said
President Kirk, "has SOU male mem?
bers, practically all of whom ure citi?
zens and lax payers of tho city of
Richmond. Several members of tho
Council are members of the club, and
its membership will be found to em?
brace the leaders In almost all lines
of civic activity. Resides the male
membership, the club has an auxiliary
membership of 600 women from the
best homes of Richmond. We believe
that the new schedule, giving a through
car from Ninth and Main Streets, via
Broad and Robinson Streets, through
to Westhampton, without change of
cars, will be of great advantage to
them, and to the citizens, both of
Richmond and Ilenrlco county living
along the line.
"The opposition appears to us to be
extremely selfish when the situation
is viewed in all Its phases. It should
bo bourne in mind that the erection of
the club at Westhampton enhanced the
value of property all along' the line,
and turned attention' of the investing
i public in that direction.
Not Dependent on Una I.Inc.
"These people who are protesting so
loudly are not dependent on the West?
hampton line. As a matter of actual
fact a large number of them walk to
Robinson Street rather than wait for
Hie half hour car, and then have to
stand in the cold and wer watting for
a transfer car. I have myself seen
many of those who are protesting
walking down to the Broad and Main
line, on which they get all transfer
and ticket privileges, rather than wait
for tho Westhampton car. The dis?
tance is only seven blocks nt the ex?
treme, and to many of tho citizens it
is only two or three blocks.
As to School Children.
"Much stress Is laid In the state?
ment of Mr. O'Keefo on the hardship
to school children of withdrawing the
school tickets, under the new arrange?
ment. The city will soon open the new
Hanover Avenue public school, lo which
children of this whole district will
naturally go, and since ttie proposed
line up Hanover Avenue was not built,
there Is no enr line that would take
children to that school. Children on
Pl?yfl Avelino will not board the West
hamptou car to ride three or four
blocks, and then walk the rest of the
way to school. As for the high school
pupils, lho plan proposed give a direct
car to Klghth and Broad, the nearest
point. The school ticket is abolished,
making a full ? cent fare, but the
hardship is partly relieved by the fact
that the cars run every fifteen minutes
and go through without, change. The
conditions of health and safety are
better, and there is no discomfort of
standing and waiting at tho point of
change In all kinds of weathor. As a
matter of fact the. car records show
that there were hot an average of ten
school children dally, getting on the
Westhampton line cars, within the dis?
trict which protests so loudly. On the
whole Hue to Westhatnpton, 1 am told,
thoro are but forty-four children who
hnve books of school tickets, and some
of those ride outward, toward a school
at Westhampton, for which the Clin?
?bought the ground.
Labor Tickets.
I "Similar protest has been made that
under the new plan tho half rate tick?
ets before 7 A. M.. known as "Inbor
tickets," will bo abolished. 1 have not
the figures to show the number making
use of tho so-called labor tickets, but
there are but two cars reaching Rich
I mnnd before 7 A. M. dally, so thnt the
number traveling on Hint reduced rate
L must of necessity bo less . thAn two
carloads dally. There are no labor
or special rate tickets at night for the
return trip. It Is also a tact that
many of those living In this district
either built there prior to construction
of the Weslhumpton line or during the
r>r~'- ' w*os charging a double
fare.
"The neve plan has heen evolved by
the Country Club* for what we hellevo
will be a decided improvement to the
service, and It has heen accepted even
with additional concessions by the com
pnny, althnuch It entails on the com?
pany an expenditure for operation of
cars three times that of the present
schedule. We regard the plan as rea?
sonable and fair, and the company, 1
believe, so considers it. The club feels
thnt It had brought about a niiblti
benefit, and nt the same time has pre?
vented a not unlikely recurrence to
the double fare, which the company
might enforce at any time. Under the
plan we offer, a stability is given to
residents along the line. There Is no
concession, then, that can be taken
away without notice, as arc the pres?
ent ticket and transfer gratuities.
The I.rgnl Side.
"Both Mr. O'ICeefe and Mr. Omohun
drn, in their statements In protest,
question thb legal position taken, and
seem to hold that the residents along
the lino have some rights to enforco
other conditions than provided In the
\\ est ha mpton franchise. This view Is
distinctly In conflict with the opinion
of the City Attorney, the advice of the
counsel for the Country Club, and the
statements of attorneys for the com?
pany, all of which opinions are based
upon and In conformity with an ex?
tended opinion rendered by the State
Corporation Commission, which gives
Its reasons for allowing the company
to charge a double fare, and which
Mr. Pollnrd quotes at length. If the
legal adviser of the Clay Ward Ajinox
league Is not satisfied, he will, of ]
course, have the opportunity of test?
ing his views In the courts, as the

As a unit the simplex pump is more compact and less complicated than :. It

'' In the simplex pump there is no balancing of adjustments as in'the: .5

Duplex pumps have double the number of wearing surfaces found in

thereby the cost of repairs is, of course, doubled. Likewise is thefriction ."

RATES TOO SMALL
Another Report of Insurance
Examiners Shows Lack of
Adequate Adjustment.
Until fraternal beneficiary associa?
tions reach the point of charging their
members an adequate amount to cover
the risks which accrue, not only wh'flo
they are young, but when many of Its
members reach an advanced age. their
status will not be satisfactory to ex?
ports or to insurance officials. This
is tho conclusion reached in the case
of the Modern Woodmen of America,
the largest fraternal society In tho
United States, as a result of tin exami?
nation just completed by the Insurance
Departments of Virginia and Illinois.
T. M. Ilobson was the examiner for
this State, his report to Commissioner
Rut ton having Just been made public.
As Is the caso with many similar or?
ders, the Modern Woodmen of America
Is charging Its younger members more
than their share of the current costs
of their mortality losses, wbllo ihe
older ones are annually creating a de?
ficit, because of the fact that their
present contributions uro insufficient to
meet (heir proper share of the death
losses.
Unten Too I.ovr.
This means, of course, that tho
younger men are paying more than the
net premiums of one-year term Insur?
ance, according to the experience of
the society, but entirely Insufficient to
provide ordinary whole lifo Insurance,
as that expression is generally under?
stood. This situation projects tho two
eternal questions affecting this class
of associations:
First, will the younger members con?
tinue willing to contribute. In addition
to their own current death losses, suf?
ficient to provide for that part of the
losses among the older members which
the assessments of the latter are too
small to meet, when tho younger ones
should Instead be contributing to a re
servo fund, with a view to providing
Cor the higher mortality bound to oc?
cur when they themselves attain old
ago?
Second, can the society continue to
attract to its membership an ever?
growing number of young applicants,
who will be willing to assume the con?
stantly increasing deficiency created
by (he older members?
Tho examiners conclude: "Sooner or
la 13t- this deficit will assume such
great proportions that the society will
no longer he attractive to applicants
for admission, and iho burden, front
which tho members hope to be relieved,
will have to be carried by those who
created it, and at a lime when, tljrough
advancing age, their earning capacity
may be impaired, and they arc- loast
able to boar It.
