Nick Wilburn, Deniad Appeal to
0. S. Court, Seeks Respite to
« Apply for Commutation,
Nick Wilburn, of Jones County,
slayer of James R. King, has pati
tioned Governor Slaton for 30 days'
respite, in order that his application
for commutation from death to life
imprisonment may be heard by the
Prigon Commission
Wilburn's attorney, John R. Cooper
of Macon, was informed by wire
Wednesday that Justice VanDeventer,
of the United States Supreme Court,
had refused to grant a writ of error
from the State of Georgia to the Fed
eral Courts, and that effectlvely bars
Wilburn from a Federal appeal, His
only hope now is for mercy at the
Lands of Governor Slaton
Wilhurn was convicted in the State
eourts, and the decision was affirmed
on appeal. He raised the constitu
tional question that a confession upon
which he was convicted was extorted
from him by fear, and that, there
fore, he had been forced to testify
against himself, ‘'which is violative of
both the State and the Federal Con
stitutions. Wilhyrn was Informed
that unless he did confess he might
‘2 mobbed.
rTf‘?s plea was denied in the State
yurts,” and a writ of error having
een den'ed by a justice of the Su
preme court of the United States, the
point can net be raised thers. Wil
burn is under sentence to die on Ma
’9, and his lawyers say that his peti
tion for clemency can not be made
ready within the short time interve:
ing
The Governor has written Chalr
man Davison, of the Prison Commis
gion, asking his advice as to whether
\WWilburn can properly make a show
ng within the next ten days. If it
evelops that, in the opinion of the
Prison Board, he can not, the respite
kely will be granted

Shorts Struggle for May, Which
Jumped $1.55 a Bale—Offer
'
ings Very Scarce. .
NEW YORK, May 14.—The Govern
ment report, showing a galn of more
than 22,000 bales in April cotton con
sumption, as contrasted with that of
the same month last year, proved a dis
appointment to the bears and caused
considerable short covering at the open
ing of the cotton market to-day Kirst
Q-:u-'v's were ! to 6 poluts higher than
Vednesday's close. After the call the
tone wasg firm.
The Census consumption report for
April was a very bullisn document. The
report showed that 300,000 bales had
been consumed during April, agalnst
479,000 bales last vear. Mill stocks &7,-
000 bales less than last year. This, It
is sald, discredits all talk of curtalled
trade and consumption,
The most potent feature during the
early trading was the heavy buving of
May option. One broker pald 12.84 for
the spot month on cable orders. This
represented a net gain of 19 points
from tha initial quotation. Tha larger
spot houses were prominent on the buy
ing side. There was also a heavy de
mand coming from the short interests
with the ring and Wall street leading
this movement. ‘There was considerable
accumulation of July and October
In addition to the bullish Census re
port, tha weather map was considered
unfavorable, showing continued cloudi
ness and rains in Texas, coupled with
unfavorable temperatures throughout
the belt. ILdverpool came in much high.
er than generally expected, which
heiped the movement along Trading
was very active.
The market showed remarkable
strength during the eariy afternoon on
continued buving for foreign account
and heavy bidding and buying by spot
houses. This causes considerable ner
vousness on the part of shorts, on see
ing no let-up in demand and offerings
becoming scarce and scattered. Shorts
were aggressive In bidding and they
struggled for every bale avallable, es
pecially May option, which continued on
{ts upward path, reaching 12.94, against
12.63 last night, or $1.05 a bala higher
One large spot house was a conspicuous
buyver of new crops,
It is believed that there is a consid
earble short interest in both old and
new crops. The action of May confirms
the hellef as far as that option is con
cerned. On the bulgs July touched
19.47; October and Decamber 11.86, and
January, 11.78.
At the close the market was very
steady, with prices at a net advance of
9 to 21 polnts from the final quotations
of Dednesday

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: ‘‘The tension in the cotton mar
ket {8 becoming too great for comfort,
as witneas the rather wild way in which
Liverpool has just marked up spots,
despite the utter apathy of the specula
tive rings. With middling upland at
7.47 d (14.94¢) and New Orleans May at
13¢, talk about bullish manipulation
sounds pretty foolish. Not only so, but
the I.}\‘?rpufil prices, as measured
against the New York Tmmtmns for
May and July, show plainly enouih
on which side the manipulator is work
ing
“T'he Census Bureau's rerort on sup
ply and distribution fn the United States
to the close of Aprl was issued at 9
o'clock this morning, New Orleans time.
During April of last vear, 479,000 bales
of cotton and 25000 linters were con/
sumed. The report was expected to re
veal some shrinkage, as advices from
the mills have been distinctly pessimis
tic of late. But this is a vear of sur
prisrs and one more would not matter.
‘“Fhe real crux of the speculative
problem lles with the prophet not with
the historian. Wll the Bouth be able to
raise a crop big enou{h to relleve the
train? Poflhuys sO, but the start {s not
auspiclous, ro the eastward of the
Mississipp! the outlook is flattering, to
be sure, yet the dream of f b\.}gnper
without a bumper in Texis is ke ‘Ham
let’ without the prince, and 'Texas gives
no sign of a bumper just now.
Liverpool cables: ‘“‘We think waell of
straddle purchases of January, New
York, and sale of November, December
Liverpool, or January and February
Liverpcol about 100 points difference.’’
