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.

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.

GRAIN 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.

LLOYD GEORGE TELLS HUN DELEGATE ALLIES ARE NOT BLUFFING (Continued from Page 1) be encouraged to join the anti-Bol shevik movements. 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. GEKMAN DELEGATION MAY LEAVE SPA CONFERENCE PARIS, July 14.—The German delegation has announced its inten tion of leaving Spa this afternoon, according ,r > a dispatch to I’lntran sigeant today. SENATOR IS RAPPED FOR HARKING BACK TO 30 YEARS AGO (Continued from Page 1) cern, and that is the vindication of his foreign policy, first, by his party, later by the country. “The Democratic campaign Is go ing to harness the party absolutely to the administration policy of rati fication without protection to Amer ican interests. Should the Demo crats win, the league would be rati fied, and America would become at once a party to the twenty-odd wars 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.” LABOR - WTFG SEIZES” CONVENTION REINS; LAND TAXERS BOLT (Continued, from Page 1) 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.

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.

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.
