NEW YORK. May 7. —The cotton
market showed increased firmness
in today's early trading' because of
strong' Liverpool cables, renewed
covering' by near-month shorts and
reports of lower temperatures in
the south. The opening was firm
at an advance of seven to 19 points
and active months soon showed net
advances of 16 to 24 points, May
Belling at 30.10 and October at 21.67.
Private cables attributed the ad
vance in Liverpool to buying of
near months by New Orleans and
trade interests and a better spot
demnad. The official cables re
ported spot sales of 10,000 bales in
the Liverpool market.
The buying movement later broad
ened on bullish private crop reports
from the southwest and rather a
bullish view of the weekly weather
report. May contracts sold up to
30.36 or 46 points net higher and
October advanced to 24.72 or 22 points
above yesterday’s closing. Realiz
ing checked the upward movement
at these figures and caused slight re
actions but the market was steady
within ten or 12 points of the best at
mid-day.
The detailed weather report made
a better showing than expected as
to temperatures and the market
was easier during the early after
noon. Demand seemed to have been
pretty well supplied on the forenoon
advance and prices broke to about
yesterday’s closing figure under
liquidation or realizing. July held
at 28.22 and October 24.48 around 2
o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, May 7.—The
cotton market opened quiet and
first trades showed gains of 7 to 11
points which was a poor response
to rather strong Liverpool cables.
The tone soon became firmer, how
ever, in anticipation of a bullish
weekly weather report and on pri
vate reports of unneeded rains.
Cables also reported a good demand
for cloths in Manchester. May
traded at 29.84 or 34 points above
the previous close. July advanced
to 27.95 or 23 points net higher,
while new cj;op months gained 18
to 19 points, October trading up to
23.94.
The market continued to improve
during the morning, the weekly re
port proving moderately bullish and
the weather map showing consider
able rain where not needed. The of
ficial forecast also promised gener
ally colder weather in the belt with
frost in northern Oklahoma, and the
Texas panhandle. Spot news was
also stimulating. July traded as high
as 28.03 or 30 points above the close
of yesterday. October advanced to
'23.98 and December to 23.74 or 22 to
23 points net higher. Near mid
session a good part of the earlier
gain was lost on profit taking.
The market continued to ease off
after mid-session and all active
months made new lows for the day,
July trading down to 27.63, October
to 23.72 and December to 23.46, or 26
to 39 points down from the high of
the morning and 4 to 9 net lower
compared with the previous close.
The easier feeling was due to fears
of bearish forecasts of domestic con
sumption during April and to reports
of additional mill curtailment in the
Augusta, Ga., district. The market
ruled slight steadier in the afternoon.

GRAIN
___________________________
CHICAGO (Wednesday), May 7.
Wheat was firm early today but the
advance was difficult to hold. An
encouraging feature was the fact
that support came out around the
previous close. An error in the
cables showing unexpected strength
in Liverpool was responsible for the
early buying and price upturn
When the error was corrected buy
ing power let up but there was no
increase in selling pressure. An
Eastern house sold July at the open
ing and then bought September a
little later. About mid-session the
market dipped rather sharply un
der pressure inspired by the weak
ness in Winnipeg and a report that
the Argentine dock workers’ strike
was at an end. Weather was show
ery and rather 'cool in the North
| west. Advices from the Seaboard
told of stronger cable bids for parcel
lots of wheat. Milling demand for
wheat was quiet. Primary receipts
were in excess of shipments.
Wheat closed 1-8 to 104 lower.
May 1.04 1-4 to 1-8; July 1.06 3-8 to
1-4; September 1.07 l-4@3-8 to 1-4;
December 1.09 3-4.
Corn was steady early, being af
fected by the action of wheat. Pres
sure developed later on the weak
ness in cash corn and prices dipped.
Lower grades of cash corn was as
much as 20 cents lower, owing to
the letup in industrial line. Ameri
can Maize company announc i an in
definiae shutdown starting tomorrow
and it was reported a downstate in
dustry will take similar action be
cause of the poor demand for corn
products. Cedar Rapids Industry
was repotted consigning corn to
Chicago. Shipping demand was light.
Corn closed 1 1-8 to 2 cents lower.
May 76 1-4 to 75 7-8; July' 77 3-8 to

Oats weakened with other grains.
Shipping demand was broader.
Oats were 1-4 higher to 1-8 lower.

Provisions were slightly firmer
on buying by cash interests.
Lard closed unchanged rto 2 1-2

lower. No trade in bellies.
Local cash sales were 20,000
bushels wheat, 60,000 bushels town,
and 114,000 bughels oats.
The Seaboard reported 400,000
bushels of Manitoba wheat and 40,-

FEHTILIZER IfEDED.
NOT POWER, SAYS
SHOALS ENGINEER
WASHINGTON, May 5. —W. G.
Waldo, engirfeer of the Tennessee
l River Improvement association, re
suming his testimony at today’s hear
ing of the senate agriculture commit
tee in support of Henry Ford's bid,
said there is no shortage of indus
trial waterpower in the southeast,
and /declared Muscle Shoals repre-
I sented only a small part of the power
resources of the section.
Reiterating his contention that
Muscle Shoals be used primarily for
fertilizer manufacture and not power
distribution, he said decision should
first be reached as to what use
should be made of the property.
“Under the Ford differ, the power
at Muscle Shoals will be employed
primarily in the public interest and
primarily under public control,” the
engineer said.
“The record shows that nitrogen
fertilizers can be supplied to the
farmers at 5 cents per pound of am
monia instead of 20 cents to 25- cents
now paid, and that half-price fer
tilizer is a very reasonable expecta
tion under the Ford offer,” Waldo
said.
He declared the useful continuous
power available at Muscle Shoals
would be only 241.000 horsepower
after both dams Nos. 2 and 3 have
been completed, and that storage
darns in the upper Tennessee river
and tributaries would add only 121,-
000 horsepower.
Ford’s obligations to produce fer
tilizer will require improvement of
some of the irregular and unreliable
power, he said.
Since profit on fertilizer is limited
to 8 per cent, he said, “it follows
that the Muscle Shoals power will be
employed primarily in the public in
terests and primarily under public
control.”
“As long as the state utility com
missions agree as to the rate to be
charged for Hie power, the fe<leial
government has not basis for inter
ference,” he added. He contended
Ford would get no clear title to the
property, and that “the government
is not selling $85,000,000 worth of
property for $5,000,000,” because “the
property has no such value.”
The witness agreed with Chair
man Norris that a wide variety of
power available on streams in the
south-coulde be utilized in a super
power system so that a uniform
supply would be available.
Senator Johnsen, farmer-labor,
Minnesota, urged a study of flood
control for the Mississippi river to
provide power the year around.
Chairman Norris and Senator
Ransdell, Democrat. Louisiana,
asked if Waldo had any objection
to amending Ford’s contract to pro
vide for distribution of surplus pow
er and Waldo declared it would be
difficult to determine surplus be
cause of uncertain demand for fer
tilizer.
Senator Ransdell regarded fer
tilizer as the “big thing at Muscle
Shoals” but said surplus power
should be distributed. Waldo sug
gested the reduction in fertilizer
cost would benefit Louisiana farm
ers more than would cheaper power
and said Ford should be given all
available power.
L. B. Jackson Slated

Cotton Figures Body
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building;.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON. 31ay 5.—L. B.
JackSfOn, director of the Georgia bu
reau of markets, will be one of the
five members of the consulting
board of the department of com
merce to confer from time to time
about cotton statistics issued by the
department, especially the bureau of
the census. He will be. appointed by
Secretary Hoover on the recommen
dation of Senator W. J. Harris, and
the other members of the board will
come from other southern states.
This was learned today and official
announcement will be made shortly.
Legislation introduced by Senator
Harris providing for changes in the
law to insure better cotton statis
tics has been passed, and other sug
gestions have been made to the de
partment by special committees ap
pointed as the result of activities
of senators from the cotton pro
ducing states.
The advisory committee, of which
Mr. Jackson will be a member, will
be authorized by Secretary Hoover
to meet from time to time for the
purpose of co-ordinating the cotton
statistics and insuring the best pos
sible information to the growers and
all others interested.

The question reached the court in
a ease brought from Maryland by

ment could not compel him to pay
taxes on income from property lo- ;
cated outside the United States, but
the federal district court for Mary

LANSING FORCED TO QUIT
FOR ASSEMBLING CABINET
DURING WILSON’S ILLNESS
Historian Lawrence Reveals
How U. S. Government
Functioned for Days With
out an Active President
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1921. by tbe George fl. Doran
company in the United States. Canada, South
America. World publication rights reserved
by Current. News Features. Incorporated.)
CHAPTER XXX
NJ incident in American history
parallels the few days in which
the government of the United
States had no president, for immedi
ately following Woodrow Wilson’s
physical.breakdown be was unable to
function as the chief executive.
Opinions may differ as to whether
any important piece of public busi
ness was neglected—the cabinet took
care of every decision and executed
every policy. Eut there can be no
doubt that for a few days at least
immediately after his return from
the western trip the president was
disabled and for a long time there
after was unable to discharge the
duties of his office to the extent that
he did in the preceding years of his
term.
Serious moments there were when
it was thought Mr. Wilson would not
live. As the crisis was passed and it
became apparent that the president
K'ould be an invalid the rest of his
life and would be unable to see many
callers or write communications on
matters of state, his supporters de
veloped the fear that someone in
the senate or elsewhere would raise
the question under the constitution
which provides that the vice president
shall succeed the president in case of
death or inability.
The constitution itself is not very
clear on the question of what shall
be done when a president is dis
abled. It says:
“In case of the removal of the .
president from office, or of his death,
resignation, or inability to discharge
the powers and duties ofj the said
office, the same shall devolve on the
vice president, and the congress may
bj z law provide for the case of re
tr.oval death, resignation, or inabil
ity, both of the president and vice
president, declaring what officer
shall then act as president, and such (
officer shall act accordingly until ;
the disability be- removed or a presi
dent shall be elected.”
Lansing Calls Cabinet
Is the vice president to become
president or merely the du- :
ties and discharge the [lowers of the
presidential office until the presi- !
dent’s disability is removed” No vice
president has ever assumed office on i
the disability of a president and Mr.
Thomas K. Marshall, who was vice ,
president during President Wilson’s
incapacity, made no effort to sue- I
ceed him. Congress has never passed i
a law specifically giving the pro
cedure that should be followed in :
case of presidential inability.
After the president suffered a
stroke, his condition was so alarm-1
ing tlvit he was unable for several !
days to sign documents or attend ;
to public business. The secretary of ;
state, Robert Lansing, called at the |
executive offices to learn the true !
condition of the president because ;
the king and queen of the Belgians,:
who were in New York, had ex
pressed a desire to come to Wash- j
ington if they could be received. Rear j
Admiral Cary T. Grayson, the presi- |
dent’s physician, told. Mr. Lansing;
that Mr. Wilson was in no condition I
to receive the king and queen, much '
as he would like to do so, and that |
perhaps if their itinerary were rear- :
ranged the visit might be accom-!
plished iater on. Mr. Lansing was j
unable to obtain any definite Infor-1
mation as to the true nature of the
president’s illness and the next day j
he asked Mr. Tumulty, the pres'.-!
dent’s piivate secretary, if he knew!
whether the president was able to
sign documents and carry on his du
ties. Mr. Lansing voiced the fear
that a demand might be made io
have the vice president take office
under the disability article of the
constitution. Secretary Tumulty ex
pressed indignation at such a pros
pect and insisted that neither he
nor Dr. Grayson would certify to
such a condition of the president’s
health.
Mr. Lansing suggested that for
appearances, at least, a cabinet meet
ing should be called and that this
would instill confidence in the coun
try that the government was func
tioning. The first meeting of the
cabinet was called with the knowl
edge of both the president’s private
secretary and his physician. Dr.
Grayson attended the cabinet meet
ing and reported on the improve
ment in Mr. Wilson’s condition.
There was no discussion at this or
any' other meeting about the vice
president succeeding Mr. Wilson.
In all. twenty-five cabinet meet- ,
mgs were held and many important
matters discussed and decided. Seri- i
ous injury might have been done the ,
public interest if cabinet sessions
had not been convened and there is I
ever.v reason* to believe that a de
mand would then have been made
in the senate for succession by Vice
I’resident Ma rsha 11.
When Mr. Wilson gradually recov
| ered to the point of being able to
listen to affairs of state he was ap
prised of the fact that cabinet meet
ings had been held. He was told of
the incident which led to the sum
moning of the cabinet. He was un
aware of the situation which had
existed and of the practically
unanimous belief of all his advisers
that the holding of cabinet meet
ings would preserve public confi
dence in the government while ho
was unable to function. He demand
ed the resignation of Secretary
of State Lansing as a punishment
and example.
There were, of course, contribu
tory reasons such as the dissent ex
pressed at Baris by Mr. Lansing
with respect to the Shantung settle
ment in the Versailles treaty of
peace. Mr. Wilson showed displeas
ure, for instance, on his western trip
when he received a telegram from
Mr. Lansing stating that one of the
attaches of the American peace mis
sion testifying before the senate for
eign relations committee had reveal
ed Mr. Lansing’s disagreement with
the president on the Shantung ques
tion, a circumstance which bad up
to that time been rumored but not
confirmed and which, of course, was
ammunition for Mr. Wilson’s oppo
nents in the treaty fight.
What Mr. Lansing did as secre-
■ tary of state —the responsible offi
| eer es the government who must
! certify to all oroclamations and
■ whose duty under the law it is to
notify the vice president of the death
or disability of the president, un
doubtedly was just the thing that
would irritate an individual who felt
he was by no means incapacitated.
An impartial judgment of the affair
cannot but lead to the conclusion
that the unprecedented functioning
of the cabinet as an entity without
executive direction, guidance or au
thority except as derived by impli
cation from the statutes was a tact
ful move which prevented the un
pleasant question of technical dis
ability from being raised by the
many who were op)>osed to Mr. Wil :
son in those bitter, days of the treaty
fight.
The president's shaky signature
to public documents find the gradual
improvement thereafter in his hand
writing tell a story of how difficult
it was for the president to carry
on in his hours of physical distress.
He was incapable of sustained ef
fort. At first he could give an hour
or so to official duties and later two
hours and then more as his health
improved. Only the most important
matters were placed before him in
the limited time that his physicians
said lie could afford to give to pub
lic business.
Unfavorable news was withheld
from Mr. Wilson and nothing was
done that was in the least calculated
to excite or disturb. Mr. Wilson
was given to emotional outbursts,
wept vet y often, and grew melan
choly over his breakdown.
Throughout this period, Mrs. Wil
son was constantly at his bedside,
as was also his eldest daughter, Miss
Margaret. The devotion of ihe wife
and daughter was no small factor
in nursing the president back to
more and more participation in pub
lic affairs. Mrs. Wilson stood be
tween her husband and the govern
ment, indeed between him and the
outside world, it was she who acted
as personal secretary, taking notes
and writing memoranda and mes
sage.-- to the various cabinet officers
and officials of the government gen
erally. Even the -private secretary,
Mr. Tumulty, refrained from enter
ing the bed chamber except when
sent for. He placed his memoranda
on vital questions before Mrs. Wil
son, leaving it io her to discover the
proper moment to ask the president
for his opinion or decision. She was,
so to speak, the reigning monarch.
An annual address had to be sent
to congress in December, 1919, and
also in December, 1920. On both
occasions, Mr. Wilson was spared
the necessity of composition. His
cabinet officers wrote memoranda
on the topics that had to be covered
in these messages and with the help
of Secretary Tumulty, who wove
them together, the documents were
put into finished form and read to
Mr. Wilson, who, with a few
changes, gave his approval and so
was able to fulfill his constitutionfii I
function of reporting to congress on i
the state of the union. Thus did his j
intimates struggle to keep up ap- I
pear.-inces in the days when America
really had no president.

M HET PLOT
KIPPED IN FLORIDA
BT PLANE SEIZURE
ORLANDO, Fla., May 5. Six
planes were seized and t hree Cubans
arrested at Ocala today in what was
thought by federal authorities to be
the starting of a rally for the insur
gents, according to dispatches here
this afternoon, similar to the one
one staged at Ocala, the .Marti t'iiy
of thirty years ago. which led to the
Spanish-American wa r.
According to Sheriff Thomas, of
Marion county, who made the arrest
under orders from the federal govern
ment, it was evident that the men
were about to attempt delivery of the
planes to Cuba. They will be charged
with “breaking the neutrality of the
United States,” he said.
Several government men a 1 on
their way to Ocala armed with a
search warrant issued by the clerk
of the court in Jacksonville, for the
search of the personal effects of the
Cubans. It is also understood from
authorities connected with the bu
reau of investigation at Jacksonville
that many arrests are pending follow
ing the issuance of President Cool
idge's proclama t io-n.
After Embargo Violators
It is understood in Ocala that the
federal government is planning an
extensive campaign to bring all vio
lators ot the Coolidge proclamation,
declaring an embargo on shipments
of arms and ammunition to Cuba
during the disorders, to court and
charge them with violation of the
neutrality of the United States. The
campaign is expected to get under
way within twenty-four hours, it is
said.
Whether or not the proposed cam
paign is in connection with the pend
ing arrests by the Bureau of Inves
tigation could not be determined.
Federal authorities arriving in Ocala
from several different sections of the
state by train and automobile would
not divulge their mission nor the
names of the three men under’arrest.
Five weeks ago men claiming to be
in the employ of the West Coast Air
line company, came to Ocala from
Texas, bringing six Curtiss type
planes with them, according to
Sheriff Thomas. Since that time,
he said, they have taught the three
Cubans, as well o‘s several others, to
fly the planes.
Ready to Transfer Planes
At first it was thought that they
made Ocala their headquarters
“merely for commercial reason, tak
ing passengers on short flights.” hut
their seeming lack of business drew
the attention of the federal authori
ties. the sheriff said, and the investi
gation started.
“It is very evident that the Cuban's
were about to attempt a delivery of
the planes to the insurgents,”
Sheriff Thomas said, when he was
reached by telephone. “The men
have been flying' for more than two
weeks and are capable now of guid
ing the planes themselves.”
It is also understood that a man
is being Held by the federal authori
ties in Jacksonville, in connection
with the same case, ft js belived in
Ocala that the Jacksonville man was
acting as an agent for the aviators?,
securing aid for the 1 '.volting fac
tions in Cuba.

There was nothing, however, in
statements by high government offi

embassy and consulate ' moral • and
offices of the United Railways of
Havana to indicate outward threats
against the government or imme

latter, declaring the movement a
small affair, told a crowd that, gath
ered in front ot the place that he
had offered complete amnesty to
those that gave themse!ves up at
once. Unofficially it was said that
efforts are afoot to persuade Dr.
Frederico Laredo Bru, believed by
government officials and by local
leaders of the Veterans and Patroits
to be in charge of the movement, to
go peacefully to his home.
Two more outbreaks that might
be merely banditry or might become
the nucleus of other movements
against the Zayas government were
reported today, one from Managua,
in Havana province, and the other
in Matanzas province. In each case,
government officials said four or five
men robbed a store and fled to the
woods. Government forces were sent
in pursuit.
A newspaper dispatch from Santa
Cruz del Norte said a small vessel had
been detained by the Cuban cruiser
Twenty-fourth of February, which
with other Cuban war vessels has
been patrolling the coast to prevent
aid coming to the rebels. The dis
patch gave no details.
