NBW YORK, July 10.—-Th* »tr«ngth of
July contracts was the feature In the cotton
market again during today’s early trading.
Notices eatimated at about 2,200 bales were
reoorted in circulation but July made a new
high record for the life of the contract,
selling up to 40.99, or 69 points above last
night’s closing quotations during the early
t-ading. Other months opened at an ad
vance of 5 to 26 points. T There was some
scattered selling on the expectations of a
favorable weekly weather report and a pri
vate mid-month condition report of 74.4
against 71.1 toward the end of June. The
strength of July held selling in check, how
ever, and the market ruled steady around
38.55 for October and 31.90 for December.
Liverpool reported an advance there on trade
Ca ju?y* Showed continued strength, selling
up to 41.25 before the end of the morn
ing, oe 95 points net higher, and within
125 points of the high record touched by
May contracts last spring. Later deliv
eries showed the influence of the spot
month advance by rallies of several points
during the late afternoon, with October
selling up to 33.60, or about 27 points net
higher, but there was no general or ag
gressive buying and prices eased off sev
eral points on the favorable showing of
the weekly weather report at midday.
There was very little selling on the fa
vorable crop news, and the market was
aulet during the mid-afternoon, with prices
ruling around 33.60 for October, or about 23
points net higher, and at about last night g
closing figure on late deliveries.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 14.—An advance
of 19 to 28 points, carrying October to
32.82, was made by cotton around the open
ing of the market today on buying stimu
lated by good cables and reports of showers
in the eastern belt. A private bureau re
port on condition of 74.4 also seemed to
be a sustaining influence. Expectations of
favorable weekly crop reports from the gov
ernment checked the rise and caused a re
action, the market standing toward the end
of the first hour of business 3 points lower
to 9 points higher than the close yesterday.
The census bureau report, showing Amer
ican consumption during June of 555,521
bales, was about as bullish as expected and
caused little stirt- The weekly crop re
ports proved rather more favorable than
expected and resulted In enough selling to
send October to 32.75 and to put the list
to a level 2 points higher to 8 points low
er than the close of yesterday. Late in the
morning the market was quiet but steady.
A strong rally set in after the middle of
the session, having its foundation in the
mention of weevil damage in the weekly re
ports and the official forecast es showery
weather for the greater part of the belt,
•which was generally accepted as meaning
Increased weevil damage. Toward the close
October stood at 33.45 c, and the list was at
net advances of 45 to 72 points.

LETTER
CHICAGO, July 14.—Corn—Decidedly
cooler weather and clear over spring wheat
territory having removed all apprehension
as to damage by rust was the signal for
some very influential selling in corn. The
buying power has come mainly from for
mer sellers, there being little if any indica
tion of a new demand. Cash prices have
been slow everywhere although not inclined
to be as weak aS deferred deliveries. All
crop news is distinctly favorable. Market
has had a decline of some 20 cents and is
entitled to a modest reaction even though
there be no change In news. There is a
slight change in the situation to the extent
that ther eis some evidence of a failing
off in movement from the country. Like
wise an inquiry here and there from eastern
industries. It occurs to us as an oppor
tune time for anticipating a rally of mod
erate dimensions but we do not believe ad
vances will be either noteworthy or perma
nent.
Oats—Receipts of old oats are keeping up
fairly well and cash market is easing,
premiums being some 2 cents lower. Like
wise the July delivery is weaker than the
new crop months. The present weather is
made to order for rounding out /ind com
pleting the new crop. We do not expect any
individual action.
Provisions —Liquidation has been renewed
in sympathy with lower hogs, the action of
grains and no improvement in foreign out
let.

in parts of that state by causing shedding
of fruit.

curred, especially in the east portion; the
crop is in good cultivation and its condi
tion is rather poor. to very good, though

it is too wet in a few places; on the whole
the week was favorable and farm work is
well up. Cotton made satisfactory to very
good progress, and is generally well culti
vated.
Florida—Cotton improved but heavy to ex
cessive rains in some localities were unfa
vorable, resulting in shedding fruit and in
creasing weevil activities. General condi
tion of the crop rather poor to very good.

Carte Blanche for Japan
It was understood Japan would be
given carte blanche in Siberia.
Count Tyszkiewiez, Ukranian pres
ident, arrived here and conferred with
M. De La Croix. He inquired whether
the allies would aid Ukrania in event
they intervened in Russia. Several
secret sessions were held between
the allied delgates and Polish repre
sentatives today.
No action has yet been taken on
the reparations question, pending dis
position of the coal problem. A
member of the British delegation said
there was little likelihood of the con
ference reaching the reparations
questions here, and added that an
other conference would probably be
held at London shortly to consider
this problem.
Allied officials discounted German
fears that Bolshevik troops would
cross into Germany, believing this
was an attempt to force further con
cessions. At the same time, it was
recognized that if the Bolshevik ad
vance did not stop before it reached
Warsaw, the German tears were well
founded.
Although reports reached here from
various sources, stating that the Bol
shevik had accepted the allied armis
tice proposal, no confirmation was
obtainable from the British delega
tion. It was believed, if Lloyd George
had received the acceptance of the
Moscow government, he would lose
no time in making it public, owing
to its certain effect on negotiations
with the Germans and the quieting
effect it would have on fears for
Poland.
Marshal Foch and General Petain
arrived here early today. Field Mar
shal Wilson had not yet reached
here, but was expected momentarily.
These military officials will confer
with the allied delegates and present
plans for military action in the Ruhr.

now going on in the world. Euro
pean leaders have repeatedly explain
ed that it is impossible for the
Armenia, which the Harbord mission
found would require us to employ
a great army and pour out money
by hundreds of millions. Congress
overwhelmingly refused, and the
country has sustained it so in
sistently that even the San Francisco
convention did not dare indorse the
mandate. Yet that mandate would
hardly be more than our intimation
of the many world-flung conflicts
into which America would be project
ed by ratification of the league with
out rigidly safeguarding reserva
tions.
“The president demands a cam
paign on this issue; the Democratic
platform makes the issue paramount;
and finally, the Democratic candi
dates unqualifiedly acquiesce. The
score and more of Democratic sena
tors who voted for the Lodge reser
vations are repudiated, the real opin
ion of the American nation is flout-,
ed, because the president insists upon
his issue regardless of costs or con
sequences. The Republican party
and candidates gladly accept the
challenge. We are more than willing
to make the election a national refer
endum on the question whether we
shall have four years more of Dem
ocratic readiness to surrender this
republic.”
ROOSEVELT ANSWERS
CHARGES OF HARDING
HYDE PARK, N. Y., July 14.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, replying at
his home here today to the charge
of Senator Harding that President
Wilson had forced the Democratic
presidential and vice presidential
nominees to accept his views that
the League of Nations should be
come the dominant campaign issue,
declared. h« ’vSa ‘'quite willing, as I
know Governor Cox is, to let the
American people decide whether they
will go back to the conditions of
1914 or whether they will join with
civilization and humanity in this
great step forward.”
“The attempt by Senator Harding
yesterday,” he said, "to befog the
true League of Nations issue by
dragging in the name of President
Wilson is merely further evidence
of the historical fact that a cer
tain type of senatorial mind cares
more about squaring an ancient
grudge against an individual than
it does to consider the true welfare
of the nation. It is, of course, well
known that seven-eighths of the op
position of these senators is not
to the League of Nations but to the
person of the president of the
United States himself.
“History will take care of the
great part Woodrow Wilson has
played. But the Democratic party
enters the campaign with the clear
cut purpose of proving that the
world war has not been fought in
vain. Senator Harding says: ‘Should
the Democrats win, the treaty and
the league will be ratified.” He is
right. No one, probably not even
Senator Harding himself, knows
what would happen should the Re
publicans win. One branch of his
supporters, such as Senator Hiram
Johnson, assures the nation that a
Republican victory means no League
of Nations. Another branch, led by
such men as former President Taft,
assures the nation that a Republi
can victory means the acceptance of
the league with certain undefined
reservations.
“The rest of Senator Harding’s
statement is the usual vague, sum
moning forth of bogies and imagi
nary ghosts of horrible pictures of
American soldier boys waging war
in Poland, Russia and Turkey, and
at the end he talks in glittering
terms about the charge of a 'sur
render of the republic.’
“I yield nothing in my devotion
to the United States to Senator
Harding, to Senator Penrose, to Sen
ator Johnson, or to any of their fol
lowers. Rather I believe they are
the ones who fail to visualize the
great future and the independent
future of this nation.
"One of the prominent issues Is
thus becoming early and clearly
drawn. A Democratic victory means
ratification of the treaty and the
League of Nations, which, as the 1
world knows, is already constitut
ed. At Republican victory means
that the United States, with Russia,
Mexico and Turkey, shall remain
outside. The election of Harding
means that in case of future war
the United States will enter the war
after the conflict has begun. The
election of Cox means that the Unit
ed States, in participation with the
other civilized nations of the world,
will, through the League of Nations,
solve international difficulties and
prevent a recurrence of the holo
caust of 1914-1918.”

yield to the La Follette forces and
permit changes in their platform
drafts; and, second, that they may
remain steadfast in their determina
tion and demand a candidate who can
ride on their declaration of principles.
Meet at 10 A. M.
Leaders of both factions are eager
to avert a breach, but yesterday’s
prolonged sessions showed plainly
that their ability to control and di
rect the convention’s actions had been
strained to the breaking point. The
slightest appeal to prejudice and pas
sion, the leaders feared last night,
would start a stampede that would
undo all they had accomplished. So
near was the stampede last night
that Chairman Christensen, for nearly
two hours, kept the delegates mill
ing about, redistributing their seats
and wearing down their determina
tion for immediate consideration of
the platform, which, it was apparent,
could not be had.
The delegates at last yielded in
their desire for action which would
j permit them to complete their work
I and go home, and voted at 5 o’clock
j this morning to meet again today at
! 10 a. m., when they hope a platform
] can be adopted and candidates nomi
nated.

Questions and Answers
1. Q. —Why was Leigh Hunt put
in prison?
1- A- —Leigh Hunt was a Liberal in
politics before Liberalism had at
tained much favor, and in an article
that he wrote he referred to the
prince regent as “a fat Adonis of
fifty.” He was sentenced for this
act of lese’ majeste to pay a fine of
500 pounds and to undergo two years
imprisonment. He received his
friends in prison, hid his prison bars
with flowers, and seemed happy in
confinement.
2. Q.—ls our foreign trade increas
ing?
2. A. —The bureau of foreign and

this year by $131,000,000, but the im
ports of this year ran ahead by $222,-
000,000.
3. Q. —How many young people

5. Q. —Should a baby sleep with a
pillow under its head? L. E. C.
5. A. —A baby will breathe more
easily and take more air into its
lungs if no pillow is used. A clean,
folded napkin may be placed under
its head. Toward the end of the
second year a thin hair pillow may
be used. Feather or down pillows
are unduly heating.
6. Q. —Why did Roscoe Conkling
resign from the senate shortly after
bilities, in addition to La Follette and
Henry Ford, whose candidacy was
withdrawn by his friends here last
night. Amos Pinchot, New York, and
George Record, New Jersey, regard
ed as second choice to La Follette
for the nomination, were the princi
pal backers of the defeated Commit
tee of Forty-eight program.
In view of this situation, it was
thought the place might go to Dudley
Field Malone, former collector of
the port of New York and a member
of both the Committee of Forty-eight
and the American Labor party; John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Illinois
Federation, of Labor, or Governor L.
J. Frazier, Non-Partisan league lead
er of North Dakota.
Adjournment in Sight
The liberal organizations which
have definitely cast their lot with
the Laborites include the Non-Parti
san league, World War Veterans,
Rank and File Veterans’ association,
American Constitutional party and
American Party of Texas.
Ultimate action of the Committee
of Forty-eight organization was
problematical, but it was generally
believed it would be split, with some
of its personnel remaining loyal to
its recognized leaders, while the re
mainder carried on with the Labor
ites.
Predictions were made today that
the “third party” would formally
adopt the name of “Farmer-Labor
party"—the title accepted by the sub
committee which had that matter
under advisement—put through its
radical platform, select presidential
and vice uresidential candidates and
adjourn sine die this afternoon.
Two planks of the platform being
drafted by the conference committee
of the Labor party and the Commit
tee of Forty-Eight still were in dis
pute when word was received that
Senator La Follette objected to cer
tain planks in the tentative draft.
Inclusion of the Plumb plan and
declaration for government owner
ship of mines were said to be the
points in dispute.
Tentative Platform
The unofficial version of the tenta
tive draft which did not meet Sena
tor La Follette’s approval, follows;
1. Repeal of all sedition and crim
inal anarchy statutes.
2. Amnesty for political prisoners
jailed because of religious belief or
industrial activity.
3. Recognition of the right of
workers, including government em
ployes, to strike, and stripping of
the courts of “powers seized” in deal
ing with industrial disputes and in
junctional proceedings.
4. Recognition of right of free
speech, free press, free assemblage
and the right of asylum.
5. Declaration against war except
in case of invasion, without a refer
endum vote.
6. Recognition of the "Irish re
public” and the "new government in
Russia,” and immediate lifting of
trade restrictions with Russia.
7. Denial of military or financial
aid to any foreign government in
vading or Russia.
8. Declaration for government
ownership of utilities generally.
9. Discharge of national w’ar debts
to and all obligations to soldiers,
sailors and marines in the late war
by means of a graduated capital tax
levy, imposed especially on prof
iteers.
Other planks in the unofficial ver
sion favor the referendum and recall,
declaration the United States should
not aid in exploitation of weaker na
tions “for the benefit of money mas
ters,” refusal to go to war with Mex
ico “for the benefit of Wall street”
and abandonment of America’s “im
perialistic platform with regard to
Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii, Guam
and Santo Domingo.”
Garfield was elected president? M.
V. E.
6. A. —President Garfield appointed
William H. Robertson to the post of
collector of the. port of New York,
arousing the opposition of Senator
Conkling, of that state, who finally
resigned his seat in the senate on
this account. Senator Platt, his col
league, did likewise.
7. Q. —What man has been a can
didate for president the oftenest?
E. D.
7. A.—Eugene Debs leads the list,
since he has been a candidate for
this office four times, once oftener
than Mr. Bryan and Mr. Cleveland.
8. Q. —What was the old-fashioned
ceremony known as the “Stubble
call?” AV. F. A.
8. A.—Y’ears ago in the middle
west, when wheat was harvested with
sickle and rake, it was the custom,
when the last shock was capped and
finished, to stack all the rakes around
it, thrust the sickles into it, and
then the whole company of harvest
ers formed a circle and at a signal
given by the captain of the reapers,
gave three cheers. They listened for
the echo. If it replied three times,
it was accounted a good omen for the
next crop. This was known as the
stubble-call. A blast of a horn from
the cabin was heard in answer to
it and the harvest was ended.
9. Q. —How did the American In
dian cast his vote in his war council?
T. T.
9. A.—When a question was to be
decided, the Indian chief picked up
his war club and passed it to the
warrior seated nearest him. If this
man was on the affirmative side, he
struck the ground with the club, then
passed it to his next neighbor. If
on the negative side it was passed
at once and in silence.
10. Q. —Who coined the expression,
“Blood is thicker than w’ater?” K.
HR
10. A.—This is credited to Josiah
Tattnall, an American naval’'-officer.
In 1859, while flag officer of our
squadron in Asiatic waters, he char
tered a small river steamer, the
Toeywan, to take the American min
ister to Pekin to ratify a treaty
W'hich had been t negotiated. When
the American squadron arrived off
Peiho, he found the French and
British naval forces with their diplo
matic representatives aboard. The
Chinese refused to allow the foreign
vessels to proceed, whereupon the
British and French forces- attacked
the forts. Seeing that they were
being worsted and that the boats
containing reinforcements could not
stem the strong current of the
stream, Tattnall, in the Toeywan, de
clared that “Blood is thicker than
water,” and towed the flotilla up to
their support. At the outbreak of
the civil war he resigned and be
came captain in the Confederate
navy. In 1862 he was put in charge
of the Confederate vessel that had
been the federal Merrimac and which
was renamed the Virginia.
Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll
Pleads “Not Guilty”
To Nine Indictments
PHILADELPHIA, July 12.—Mrs.
Emma C. Bergdoll, Charles Braun
and James E. Romig pleaded not
guilty today in Judge Thompson’s U.
S. district court to nine indictments
charging them with conspiracy in
the escape of Grover Cleveland Berg
doll from federal guards here last
May 21. Bail was re-entered in the
sum of $19,000 each. The court di
rected that they be tried during the
September term.
“Sugar Hoarder”
Alibi Aids Robbers
DES. MOINES.—Give welcome to
the latest variety of confidence man.
A band of men here is reaching
homes under pretense of being on
the lookout for “sugar hoarders.”
“Then they map the house and come
back when it’s dark,” explains Chief
of Police M. J. Donoghue.
’Twas a Good Hunch,
But It Fell Through
LONDON.—Dr. J. Douglas Wells,
medical officer, had a bright idea
looking to the replenishment of the
English population. ‘Why not let
families with four or more children
live in houses rent free?” suggested
he. "Nothing doing,” decided the
rural council.
