Simmons, of North Carolina will be chairman of the most powerful committee in the senate, the committee oa finance. This waa made certain when the news waa received here today that Senator Joseph W. Bailey would not again bo a candi date for the United States senate. With Bailey out, Mr. Simmons ia now the ranking Democrat of .the committee, and npon the ground of seniority will be the chairman. . But seniority is not the only asset S nator Simmons has. - Ho is consid ered one of the brightest, brainest and fairest men in that august body, and there ia not the slightest donbt about the aenior senator landing the job if the senate has a majority in 1912, and everybody believes they will. When tariff legislation ia pending the chairman of the finance commit tee becomes the real leader of the senate. With Simmons as chairman, no one doubts that North Carolina will get her share of appropriations and anything else she ia entitled to. One thing is sure, Simmons will cer tainly get the 11,000,000 appropria tion for good roads and a number of other bills now pending will receive favorable action. "Senator Simmons is by long odds the best man for chairman of the finance committee," said a promi nent stateman here tonight in dis cussing Bailey's withdrawal from the race. " I have worked with Simmons ever since he came to the senate and have found him to be honest, fair and upright in every move undertak en. And we have found his advice in matters of great weight and invaluable." Fake Crop Ke ports. Charlotte News. The government's more recent crop report only goes to show how absurd were us own figures offered in June, At that time 14,000,000 crop was predicted. Immediately cotton drop ped $20 per bale and it is estimated that southern fanners lost upwards of Now the government crop - fakers come forth with a prediction of some thing over, 12,000,000 ibales. The point is this, even granting that crop statisticians of the agricultural department were sincere in the. pre mature and erroneous report,- the fact is patent that they were undertaking a task about 'which there was little chance of their offering any accurate information. . The evils of such reports come in the shape of a depleted cotton market and the farmer shares the burdens which speculators, given a tip by Uucle 6am, thrust opon him. Senator Smith of Couth Carolina, has teen making a worthy fight against these foolirfh crop reports of the government and he is receiving backing of practically the entire southern delegation. Ho states that he waa informed by the highest au thority,'' shortly- "after the issuance of the first report, that it was sent out without authority. Surely if this be true, congress cannor escape the task of placing the blame and stopping tne annual damage done from f ake re- Dorts. Convicted bv its own figures.

Tali Year's Crop Mut Bring 14 and ' 15 Cants. - Shawnee, Okl., Sept 6. This year's cotton crop will be sold for 14 cents during September and October and 15 cents thereafter. This waa th agreement reached tonight by the cotton growers of the South, attend ing th National Farmers' Union her. . . The action, which waa nnanitsoas, waa taken in the adoption of th re port of a special committee on mini mum price. - The committee waa composed of cotton growers who were largely influenced by scores of telegrams and message from all parts of the South, many of which urged a minimum of fifteen cents. - Little of the proceedings and de liberations waa made known today, although aside from fixing the price the farmers are to ask for their cot ton, 'good roads; - parcels , post and dabbling in cotton futures were dis cussed by the convention. Members of the union say parcels post will be favored by the farmers and that the delegates will endorse the Scott "anti-gambling" bill, pro hibiting the use of mails or inter state commerce for the furthering' of contraota for the delivery of cotton where there is no intent to make ac tual delivery. r The report of the live stock com mittee urges diversified farming and stock-raising and contains the state ment, that "one million additional milch cowsjmd an equal number of lit be ntxiy ' &ATB SZATTXB.

Detailed history of anarchistic depredations in this country and Europe, covering mur ders, dynamitingg, robberies, and Ca en a pitched battle with police in Bos ton, was recounted today to local de tectives by Jacob and Joseph Gold berg, the two prisofirs captured in Trieste, Asuria, and and brought back her for trial.

Th Goldbergs today said they will later tell the inside story of the Houndsditch and Steine Morison murders in London a year ago, which resulted in the calling out of the sol diers and the police and the sensa tional street battle in London in which their hiding place was burned and the leaders were shot in their efforts to escape. According to the contession today, two men electrocuted at Charlestown for complicity in the sensational For est Hill murders three years ago were sworn to fight in every way against organized law and society.

They told the police they had $60,000 in cash hidden in F-urope. They said there was a strong bond between the New England bands and the bands in London, New York, Chicago and Paris.
