REPUBLICAN POLICY IN REGARD TO MEXICO IS TOT OF LEWIS Attacks on President Wilson Are Denounced as Treason by Illinois Senator in Ring ing Speech in Senate {Bj Associated Brass.) WASHINGTON. Aug 5. —Mexico as a political issue in the national campaign was discussed 1 nte senate today. Sen ator Lewis, of llltonis. assailed tne Republican party and Mr. Hughes, its presidential candidate, for attacking tne administration “without regard to facts, equity or justice.” and Senator Fall, of New Mexico, replied. Senator Lewis bitterly denounced the Republican leaders for their assaults upon President Wilson's Mexican policy, characterizing them as "treasonable.” Responsibility for the death of Ameri can soldiers at Carrizal he placed at the door of the Republican party, charg ing that “not till the captains of the Republican party shot at t£e president of the United States did the Mexican outlaws shoot at the soldiers of the American president-" He referred to op ponents of the government's course In Mexico as "bjood tarnished votaries headed now by the newly-annointed chief of this political hierarchy, the nominee for president of the United States, Charles Evans Hughes." SUMMONS TO MEXICANS. < The platform r decoration Senato Lewis characterized as *'a summons to Carranza and Villa to revenge the en trance of American soldiers into Mexico and the interference of America in her internal affairs.” “Revolt against the government at Washington as to Mexico—that is the issue,” he declared. "Denounce the president as to Mexico—for that is the issue. Make contemptible your own country before the world whenever you can for that is the issue. Humiliate your own felllowman by holding his country and his president up before the world as unworthy the support of his countrymen or the respect of foreigners “At last the army is summoned —the mercenary—the concessionaire, who pol lutes the government in power to wrest the rights from the defenseless and the weak; the European bondholder demand ing of the sovereign United States that she shall send her sons to die that their blood may give value to that whose creation was born of robbery and whose existence is being maintained by fraud; the land ptrates-of the plains, pillagers of the peons, oppressors of liberty, de stroyers of homes, murderers of justice —come all of you! At last there is found for you a house in which you are wor shipped as gods and at whose altars the innocents are sacrificed for you to make an election holiday. This procession of blood-tarnished votaries, headed now by the newly appointed chief of this politi cal hierarchy, the nominee of a Repub lican convention for president of the United States. Charles Evans Hughes." Senator Fall. Republican, said he would like to spend every cent of the Republican campaign fund to send the Illinois senator's address over the coun try.

Felder by G. K. Vason in the Kimball house Thurs day night, has brought forth two dis tinct statements as to the cause of the cutting and has led to the passage of a resolution in the state senate unani-1 mously repudiateing the rbport that the Savannah recall bill was at the bottom of the affair. Vason. held without bond at police sta tion. has refused to give out a state ment. Felder, in a critical condition at St.! Joseph's infirmary. Is not allowed to : talk: but his friends quote him as de-| daring that an altercation over the re- ' call bill caused the stabbing. Charles S. Arnow, an eyewitness to the fray, says he heard no words passed about the recall bill, but did hear Vason call Felder a liar for making remarks about Speaker Burwell. W. Woods White, chairman of the law j enforcement committee of the Anti-Sa- j loon league, for which Felder Is attor-’ ' ney. describes the stabbing as a dellb-1 erate attack on Felder to destroy him i for his activities in fighting the recall 1 bill and working for the forces of prohi bition- . COULDN'T CUT HIMSELF. Dr. Willis Westmoreland, who has been attending Mr. Felder ever since the cutting, stated to The Journal at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon that his con dition is critical and will be for several day. “I do not think there is any ques tion but that the knife entered fhei lung cavity,” he said. “I am positive I of It, although I cannot tell how deep the blade went. In case there are no unforeseen complications, however, he will recover. Jt is impossible that Mr. Felder could have cut himself. Expert examination shows this, for It is simply j a question of mechanics. He could not ; have inflicted such a wound himself. ’ Even had he been able to reach the place in his side with a knife, his arm would not have contained enough force to sever a rib." Mr. Arnow gave the following state ment to The Journal Friday morning: "I was in one of the rooms of Gov ernor Harris's campaign headquarters with A. J. Liles, representative from. Camden county. I heard loud talking in the hall but at first did not pay any attention to it. Then I heard Speaker Burwell's name mentioned. I walked into the hall and saw Vason and Felder standing there "Vason was abusing Felder in a ram bling. muttering undertone His words were not clear, but I heard him accuse Felder of 'telling a lie on Bill Burwell' He called Felder a liar. Then the two men rushed into a clinch. There was a dim light in the hallway, and I could not tell which was the aggressor. Nothing whatever was said about the Savannah recall bill, so far as I could hear.” Speaker Burwell said he had no idea what “lies” Vason was referring to, as he has heard no mention of any state ments Mr. Felder may have made about him. Vason and the other doorkeepers and pages of the house were appointed by the speaker. MR. WHITE'S STATEMENT. W. Woods White reiterated Friday his belief that the stabbing of Felder was an attempt at assassination. "I have not seen Mr. Felder,” he said, "but several of his friends have and they tell me he says the trouble was over the recall bill. I have no direct evidence that guch is the case, but it is my firm convtcXJorf ttai the stabbing was the result of aptOt\to destroy Mr. Fel der. That’s all it looks like and that’s all it is. They have been trying to get him for a long time. They couldn't get him any other way, so they decided to kill him. That poor devil Vason didn’t take it into his head to suddenly protect all the liquor interests of the state. De liberate purpose was behind him. Mr. Felder has been threatened time and again and I am sure there was a well defined prograpa to take his life. "It's the same old story. The liquor interests worked the same game In Ten nessee and Minneapolis and Omaha." Mr. White would not say what steps, if any, the law enforcement committee will take toward Investigation or pros cution. "That’s the state's business.” he said, "but I can tell you this, it's not going to slip by without notice.’ Mr. Felder was reported resting easily Monday morning at St. Joseph’s Infirm-I ary, where he was taken immediately I after he was stabbed in the left side. DANGER OF INFECTION. Dr. Samuel Green states that the chief I danger Is from infection and the posts!- [ bility that the knifeblade penetrated the patient’s lung. The knife was thrust through one rib and cutting upward, severed another. The wound is two; inches deep It is an inch and a half ■ from the heart. Vason. who is held at the police sta-1 tion without bond, refused Friday to give out a statement, saying he had been ad- j vised not to talk. He is quoted as say-j ing Thursday night that Felder was the aggressor in the fight, drew his own j knife and cut himself with it in the' struggle. Vason had been drinking, say’ the. officers who arrested him. Accounts of the fight between Felder: and Vason agree in the main. Felder I had been attending a meeting of the i Savannah anti-recall interests in the room of Rev. C. M- Ledbetter, a Guyton. | Ga., minister, on the first floor of thej Kimball house, room 106. About 8:30 o’clock he left the room ; to go to the campaign headquarters of Povernor Nat E. Harris, which are on the same floor of the Kimball house on the other side in rooms 119-21-23. As he was walking along the hallway alone, he met Vason and another man ! near the governor's headquarters. The ! other man has not been identified. He is ' described by several people who saw j him as a young man, tall, slender and of dark complexion. Vason refuses to give his name. The account of what happened then, as given by Mr. Felder to his friends immediately after the stabbing, is that Vason stopped Felder and said, “You’re the damned that defeated the Sa- vannah recall bill today,” or that he said to the man with him, "Ttßs is Tom Felder, the damned that killed our recall bill." According to Mr. Arnow, however, it was Vason’s assertion that Felder was a liar that brought on the fight. Felder and Vason fought for a moment in the hallway, then through the door into pne of the headquarters rooms and fell over a trunk, with Vason on top of Felder, according to Mr. Arndw, w-ho pulled Vason away. Liles grabbed Fel der. but both of them broke away and rushed at each other again. Arnow and Liles once more pulled them apart. With the two men facing each other. Felder suddenly said, "I'm stabbed.” Blood was streaming down his trousers. Arnow let go pf Vason and he turned and left the room. Arnow and Liles got Felder ito another room and called Dr. Green, the house physician. Felder was then taken to St. Joseph's infirmary. Dr. Willis Westmoreland was called and with Dr. Green operated Immediate ly on Mr. Felder, removing a clot of con gealed blood from the wound. Dr. West moreland refused to allow an Interview IHe A I LAM A SEMI-VVLLinL\ JOURNAL, ATLANTA, Ga., rUESDAY, AUGUSI o, 191 d SENATE FMORS THREE NEW APPEELATE JUDGES Bill of Senator Lawrence to Increase Number to Six Is The senate Friday morning passed the bill of Senator Lawrence, of the First, providing for three additional judges for the court of appeals. If this bill passes the house ana finally receives the signa ture of the governor, the court of ap- i peals would be composed of six judges. The bill of Senator Mangham, of the Thirty-eighth, and Senator Boykin, of the Seventeenth, which would permit the shipment into the state of alcohol for j use in the manufacture of commerce and | for preserving purposes, passed without any opposition. It was pointed out that the bill in no manner whatever would conflict with the present Georgia pro hibition law. The senate passed a 1&ill changing the name of Warsaw, a resort nine miles ft-oni Savannah, to Thunderbolt, and In cluded in this bill a provision in the charter which would permit the recall of city officials. The three additional judges of the court of appeals, under the terms of the bill, would be elected at the coming state primary. The strongest argument in favor of adding more judges to the court of ap peals was that which pointed out that each of the three judges now were ren dering an average of more than one de cision each per day. Three other general bills were passed by the senate before adjournment for the week end until Monday morning al 11 o’clock. These bills were as fol lows: By Senators Burnside, of the Twenty ninth, and McLaughlin, of the Thirty sixth, providing that all public service corporations apply to the state railroad commission before commencing business in Georgia.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.—The world’s takings of American cotton during th-3 year ended July 31 was placed at 11,- 171,000 bales by Secretary H. G.' Hester, of the New Orleans cotton exchange, in his annual report issued today. Tnese figures compare with takings of 13,- 519,000 the previous season, and 11,512,- GOC bales two seasons ago. Southern mill takings placed at 4,- 047,000 bales, bfioke all former rec ords, according to the report, as did tak ings of 505,000 bales by Japanese, Chi nese and East Indian mills. Secretary Hester placed the total val ue of the commercial crop for the year at $765,700,560, compared to $593,432,- 978 the preceding year, and $977,844,114 the year before. “These values,” the report explained, “are for cotton only, and do not include the value of the cotton seed, which this year more than any past year, constitutes a specially important item. The value of the 1915 crop with seed added would total $958,200,000; the previous year $749,384,978, and the j’ear before $1,134,444,114.” The country’s commercial crop for the year was 12,938,256 bales, a decrease un der the previous year of 2,169,755 bales and 1,944,237 bales under two seasons ago. “Os the decrease in deliveries under last year,” Mr. Hester reported, "fifty six and nine-tenths per cent was in Tex as 27.2 per cent in the other gulf states, and 15.9 per cent in the Atlantic states. In grade, the crop ranked wtih the best during the last five years, averaging mid dling to strict middling, and it was marked by a scarcity of low grades and irregular cotton. The average price for middling for the year was 11.99 cents per pound, compared to 7.94 last year and 13.49 the year before. “A short crop and increased con sumption demand, especially from Amer ican mills, offset in a measure the influ ence of the European war and the large carry-over at the end of the previous sea son, resulting in restoration of values to a more normal basis. The records in li cate that not only was every bale brought into sight from the fields con sumed. but that the visible and invisible supply le«t over from last year was trenched upon to the extent of almost 2,000,000 bales. In brief, the problem of war and the enormous growth of 1914-15 have thus far been met to an, extent more satisfactory than anticipat-1 ed by the most sanguine.” Filth Doesn’t Cause Infantile Paralysis NEW YORK.

The PLAPAO-PAD is entirely differ ent from the article commercially known as a truss. It is made of a strong flexible material which conforms perfectly to every movement of the bedy. and is therefore muefi more com fortable to wear. The inner surface is made self-adhesive purposely to pre vent slipping and to hold the distended muscles securely in . place while the PLAPAO —an absorbent, astringent, medication contained in the reservoir of the pad—is kept continuously applied to the weakened and atrophied muscles, infusing them with new life and con tractile strength. As Mr. Stuart lias been making the PLAPAO-PADS for a long time, he is, no doubt, in position to send reading matter to anyone who will write him. —(Advt.)
