Paris, lAprll . 27 Mounted on

today reviewed the crack troops of
the French army in sham battle and
evolutions at Vincennes, the princi

Every branch of the French army

the siiam battle was startllngly real

Upon his arrival on the field, un

Mr. Roosevelt laughingly remarked:

Then, In frock coat, silk hat and

the umpires and judges.
The French officers watched him
closely, .to see "how the show impress

"Our boys could hot have done that
better,"' he cried at one point In the
battle. The French officers after

forgetting his service in the Spanish-

' As the lines and files wheeled, ad

'Bully," he crjed, as a particular

FULLY HALF YOUNG
COTTON IS Rune
By Leased Wire to The Times) .
New Orleans, April- 27 That fully
half the young cotton throughout the
entlre'belt has" been ruined by frost
is the conclusion from reports re
ceived today. . In the eastern and
northern part of the belt the early
crop has been completely ruined. In
Louisiana, and, southern Mississippi
the damage will not be so heavy, al
though many planters have, determ
ined to abandon efforts to . replant
'cotton and will make corn instead.
: Several points in southern and cen
tral Mississippi report that farmers
fear . that . what cotton . they could
plant would be so late it would be
ruined by the boll weevil along in
1 August. -. The result will be diversi
fication and the abandoning of cot
ton. .!,.':" -. " -f . -'' ;
The Brst reports of the famine in
cotton 'seed is the only feature of the
frost damage that has been modified.
Cotton-seed mills now say they have
more of a supply than was first be

seed on" the market for planting and
quitting grinding. . ..
THE HEINZE CASE
Heinze Suffered Defeat In
Court Today.
Asked That Indictments be Dismissed,
Rut Judge Dismissed Motion At-
', torhoy Wise for Prosecution Lays
Hare the Sex-rets of the Copper
- " Trust. ' .. - -,. ' "'
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, April 27 A. Augustus
Heinze suffered a defeat today when
his trial on charges of violating the
national banking laws was resumed
in the United States circuit court.
Judge Hough dismissed a motion
made by Heinze's chief counsel, John
B. Stanchfield, for tli dismissal of
the indictments. and the setting aside
of suhpoenaes requiring the defend
ant to produce the books of the Na
tional Copper Company and .other
Heinze corporations. - ' : .'
District Attorney Wise began 'his
opening address with the declaration
that the Standard Oil Company had
nothing to do with the prosecution.
Heinze has professed to fear the in
fluence of the Standard and its inter
ests, which he long combatted.
The Jury that will decide the fate
of Heinze was completed yesterday;
It Included a millionaire and a coach
man, i
The secrets of the organization and
workings of the United Cpppr com
pany, the Heinze copper trust, were
revealed in Mr. Wisfe's address. He
declared flatly that $70,090,000 of
the $80,000,000 capital stock was
water, and that Heinze and his two
brothers had formed a pool to send
the price of the stock up, deceiving in
nocent investors. A dividend, Mr.
Wise, said, was declared out of the
capital when the earnings warranted
no such action.
?The United Copper Company,"
said Mr. Wise, "was organized in New,
-Jersey with a capital stock of $80,-
000,000. " Of this amount $50,000,-
000 wasissued, $5,000,000 In com
mon stodk and $45,000,000 in pre
ferred. - The company was the result
of the amalgamation of five concerns
controlled by Heinze interests and
their total value was $10,000,000.
At that time, and ever since, the
United Copper stock was valued at
$20 a shaVe. The defendant owned
25 per cent of it, and Arthur and Ot
to Heinze owned more. . ' "
Max Schuitze, a partner in the
brokerage ; firm of Otto Heinze &
Company also had some of the stock
and between them they controlled the
corporation, ,
"Otto and Arthur Heinze, brokers,
were dependent upon F. Augustus
Heinze.' They were indebted to him
for $500,000. They formed' a poor to
put up the price of the stock.
'They .took from the capital of the
company Enough to pay a dividend of
134 percent, and thus deceived the
public into thinking that the stock
paid 7 percent annually. . To carry
out the fraud, wash' sales were made
by the brokerage, firm who bought
and sold to themselves.
The whole thing was nothing but
a gamble of the most dangerous and
reckless sort. It could only result in
disaster. .
','Helnez then secured control of
the Mercantile National Bank with
Arthur P. Heinze and Max Schuitze.
P. 'Augustus Heinse knew all about
the .pool, and knew that the copper
stock was worth only '$20 a share,
but he advanced several loans to his
brothers brokerage firm. Up to Oc
tober 11, 1907... they aggregated
$991,000 and they were, made with
practically no security only the cop
per stock, Worth about as much as
last week's newspapers. . , : ,
'On October 14,-in the midst of the
panic, Otto told his brother lie could
close out the' Shorts In United Cop
per, but he needed money to do It.
F. Augustus Heinze then called
upon his associates in the Mercantile
directorate, Charles W. Morse. The
bank's reserve was down to 17 per
cent but Heinze and Morse said Otto
Heinze got, $60,000, after F.; Augus
tus Heinze had been notified by the
cashier that the bank had only $39,-
000 left. Th- president ( neverthe
less, told sthe cashier to certify
checks up to $400,000 or more. aLter
there were drawn out sums aggregat
ing $357,000 on checks certified by
the president against an account that
was' practically nothing."

Probably the most Important mat
ter discussed at last night's meeting
of the chamber'of commerce was that
of a better union station, and the
sentiment expressed was against the
proposed Improvements, and favoring
a new station, one worthy of the
state's capital city.
The railroad have prepared plans
for Improving the present station at
a cost of about $15,000. For months
the public has been patiently await
ing for these improvements, but so
far nothing has been done. 'Tlie
members -seemed to think that if the
railroads merely made certain Im
provements that it would he years
before anything fuv.tlior would be
done, and that it would lie the part
of wisdom lo go after ;i new and up-
to-date station right now, so we could
have the facilities afforded by other
capital cities. V
Mr. Albert Cox brought the ques
tion before the meeting, suggosllng
that the various organizations of the
city hold a Joint meeting and prepare
plans for urging the advisability of
building a new station now. He said
other towns had gone to the corpora
tion commission and secured depots
equal to the progress of their city
and saw no,' reason why Raleigh
should not use the same method.
Cqlonel Olds states that he hud
appeared before the commission.', 'and
that the railroads had met the re
quest by. saying that ihey could not
see their way clear to build a new sta
tion at this time.
A committee , consisting of F. W.
Habel, Albert jppx. J. B. Pearce, Col.

Olds was appointed to examine the
plans of the proposed improvements

TAFT'S PETJWEASURE
Having a Hard Road to

The Hailroail Bill llavin a Hard
Time :f it I'l-oresslves Insist on
Many Amendments and the Hill
Losinj its Original Form.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Wiisiilnglon, '.April 27 It has been
ut-Hfi-ieu oy uie regulars and the in
surgents that their differences had to
do with Cannon and the rules and
that .the . president's- legislative pro
gram would be accepted without
question, but at the very first test of
one of the president's pet measures
the railroad bill the country- wit
nesses a difference of opinion that
may prove vital to that measure. Not
that the bill will be defeated, but it
may be so amended that the pres
ident will not recognize his offspring.
Reiiresenl.'il ive Mnin'i ,r lllhiniu
chairman of the committee on inter
state and foieign commerce, made no
secret of his opposition lo tiie com
merce court, so dear to the presi
dent's iiearf, saving that it was a use
less annex a ml m piece of ..extrava
gance but for the party's sake in
agreed t'o a court. Had he not mailt
x personal appeal to sovm-al of his
personal friends (lie commerce court
would have been knocked' out in the
committee of the whole, and in all
probability the action of the commit
tee would have been sustained on a
record vote. :
Yesterday afternoon's fight on the
railroad bill in the house revealed a
strong opposition to the measure on
the republican side, and there were
regulars as well as insurgents who
refused to bo to the dictates from
the, white house and the department
of justice, where th railroad bill was
conceived. Tnere is an under-current
of talk that Speaker Cannon and his
lieutenants may use' the railroad bill
to get even with the president for his
refusal to help the organization in its
fight against the insurgents. This
could be accomplished by a number of
regulars being absent when votes are
taken on important amendments of
fered by the democrats who are op
posed to the bill as a whole. This
was shown yesterday in the adoption
of the l.enroot amendment taking
from, the .president' the right to ap
point the members of the commerce
conn and providing that the court
shall 'be composed of judges assigned
to it by a majority of the justices ot
the -supreme court. This amendment
was carried by the votes of regulars.
, -In the senate yesterday afternoon
the attack was directed chiefly
against Attorney General Wicker
sham, who is the real author of the
railroad bill,-and - who -has been in
tolerant of opposition'., to the bill.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, severely
arraigned the attorney general for
what he termed his attempt to dictate
to congress legislation it should en
act and to read out of the republi
can party those who are not willing
to accept his instructions. Senator
Clapp referred to the fact that Roose
velt had sought to enforce his poli
cies on congress, but he declared that
tne former ".president had never sent
to congress and demanded the enact
ment of such a measure as the pend
ing railroad bill as hig been done by
President Taft.; ' '..
Within the past week the attack of
the insurgents and progressives in the
senate lias been chiefly directed
against the traffic agreement feature
of the bill, with the result that it is
now .apparent that the republican
leaders will be obliged to modify this
section of the bill wnich was one of
the pel projects of the administra
tion.
It seems likely thai the senate, will
adopt 'something like the Cummins'
amendment which provides that the
interstate commerce comniissi.iu must
approve traffic agreements, it is con
tended that tnis amendment practi
canv would nullify the provision for
traffic agreements, because the coin
mission could not perform the work,
as there would be before it daily
more tnan 100 agreements to be con
sidered. : .'
