COTTON
NEW YORK, June 18.—Conflicting
reports concerning the effects of con
tinual high temperatures on crop
progress in the southwest seemed
lagelyr responsible for nervous and
irregular fluctuations in today's early
trading in the cotton market.
Liverpool was Letter than due anti
after opening at a decline of 1 t<* 6
points, prices here steadied on cov
ering, selling 3 or 4 points above yes
terday’s closing quotations. Offer
ings increased on the bulge, however,
and prices soon reacted from 28,58
to 28.48 for July and from 25.77 to
25.65 for Ocotber, making the market
about 6 to 10 points net lower.
Offerings tapered off on the early
aeciine owing to the uncertainty of
crop progress in the western belt
and prospects for continued high
temperatures in that section. The
market steadied in consequence and
rallied several points after the pub
■ lication of the unfavorable weekly
weather reports. Except for cover
ing, however, there was very lititle
demand and Wading was quiet
around midday when July was quot
ed at 28.70 and October at 25.80, 14
to 16 points net higher.
The market remained very quiet
during mid-afternoon but ruled steady
to firm, July selling around 28.80 and
October 26.07, or 26 to 32 points net
higher around 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, June 18.—The
• market opened iuiet but
steady. First trades showed gains
of 4 to 8 points over the previous
<4ose. July promptly eased off 16
points to 27.94 and October dropped
to 24.92 or 13 points off from the
opening high. Liverpool was bet
ter than due with spot sales of 8,000
bales and west Texas sent reports
of damaging hot winds and sand
storms. Sentiment nevertheless seem
ed reactionary because of the poor
good trade and mill curtailment. It
was claimed that the hot wave in
Texas was unabated.
The weather map showed little
rain in the belt and generally fair
and hot. The official forecast was
for continued fair weather and week
ly weather summary was favorable.
Despite these bearish influences the
market remained steady and later
rallied sharply on short covering ow
ing to the reports showing twenty
stations in Oklahoma out of a total
of twenty-nine with temperatues
of 100 to 110 degees. Seventeen sta
tions in Texas showed maxima of
100 to 110 against twenty-four sta
tions yesterday showing the same
range of temperatures. October ad
vanced to 25.35 and December to
25.10 or 40 to 43 points up from the
early lows.
The market ruled quite steady
» around noon and into the afternoon
being sustained by fears of damage
to the crop by the hot wave in the
west. New crop months attracted
the most attention, October trading
up to 25.36 and December to 25.13
or 39 to 40 points above the previous
close. Price then Fluctuated within
a very narrow range and ruled most
ly close to the high point of the
day. Interest in the weather ob
scured all other market influences.

GRAIN |
CHICAGO (Wednesday), .June IS.
j Wheat had another big bulge today
’ and the highest prices of the sea
i son again were established. It is im
i possible to satisfy the demand, it
j seems, and despite heavy profit tak-
I ing sales, the demand continued
i iven at the advance. It was saia
I that the buying was largely foreign
and that importers were also taking;
the cash.
Winnipeg advance was even more
rapid and bigger than Chicago while
Liverpool futures were up 2 1-4 to
3. English buyers are inclined to dis
believe short crop prospects in
North America, but their better
judgment tells them to buy wheat
in ease thejX have erred in thdir
opinions.
While the bull movement was
started on impaired crop prospects,
the market seems to have outgrown
this factor. Crop news today was
more bearish than anytime since
the government made its sensational
report and the buying power was
broader than ever.
Keen observers believe that ex
porters are doing much of the buy
ing because the wheat is taken out
of the pit and it. is gone forever,
judging by the paucity of offerings
at times. Milling demand for wheat
was quiet. Cahadian crop news was
more bearish and beneficial showers
were reported.
. Wheat closed 3-4 to 1c higher,
showing a reaction of over 1c on
realizing sales by longs. July,
$1.16 5-8 to 1-2; September, $1.17 3-4
to 5-8; December, $1.19 3-4 to 5-8.
Corn also attained record heights.
July started the bulge early in the
day with ’shorts covering and no
corn offered to speak of. Later Sep
tember followed on persistent buy
ing credited to outside account. De
cember was in demand as the result
of showery weather which is inter
fering with cultivation of the new
crop. A little corn was booked to
arrive on the advance on resting or
ders hanging on the market for
some time but fresh offers are nil.
Corn closed 2 3-4 to 3 3-8 c higher.
July, 86 1-4 to 3-8 c; September, 86 to
l-8c; December, 77 7-8 to 78 l-Bc.
A bull movement started in oats
and buying of September was con
spicuous. Shipping demand was
light.
Oats were 1 to 1 3-Sc higher. July,
47 l-2c; October, 43 5-8 to 3-4 c; De
cember, 45 l-2c.
Provisions advanced on higher
hogs, the strength, in grain and the
advance in cotton seed oil. Packers
sold on the bulge.
Lard closed 10 to 15c higher, ribs
5 to 10c higher and bellies 7 to
12 l-2c lower.
Local cash sales were 9,000 bush
els of wheat, 167,000 bushels of corn
and 129,000 bushels of oats.
Vessel room was chartered for
100,000 bushels of corn to Buffalo.

’HUGEDRUG COMBINE
BROKEN By SM
OF 52.0DD.0110 DOPE
Two Men Jailed as They Take
Truckload From Vessel
as “Brushes”
NEW YORK, June 16.—Drugs
valued at more than $2,000,000 were
seized last Saturday on a truck com-
I ing off a pier at Hoboken, N. J., it
I became known today. If. D. Ester
! brook, chief of the special agents of
I the treasury department, who con
ducted the raid, said the eizure un
covered one of the most elaborate
and effective* schemes ever divulged
for smuggling narcotics into the
United States.
The drugs wore secreted .in the
handles of 5,000 scrubbing brushes.
The cases in which they arrived had
been watched since the steamship
President Roosevelt docked June 9,
Mr. Estabrook said. On Saturday
the treasury agents saw two men
claim the cases and load them on a
truck which was seized as it started
off the pier. The men. who gave
their names as Abraham Palovvitz
and Otto Anderson, both of New
York, were arrested.
Tlie seizure broke up a German
syndicate, Chief Easterbrook said,
which bad smuggled drugs valued
at more than $5,000,000 into the
United States in two years.
Agents Abroad Spot Scheme
Treasury agents working for two
years in several foreign countries
unearthed the smuggling scheme. A
year ago an agent at Bremen. Ger
many, by chance opened several
cases labeled “brushes” and “re
turned German goods.” He found
only bricks and stones wrapped in
paper. The boxes had been shipped
to Germany in bond, supposedly
from Trinidad byway o fihe United
States.
This disclosure was cabled to the
treasury department at Washington
and agents here were instructed to
watch all cargoes coming from Ger
many.
A month ago it was learned that
the same cases, re-packed, were
shipped from Bremen on the Presi
dent Roosevelt, consigned to Trini
dad byway of the United States in
care of Palowitz.
Chief Easterbrook and his men
found that Palowitz, a bonded truck
man, who had hauled only three con
signments of goods from ships in a
year, was to transfer the cases to a
South American steamship line in
Brooklyn and agents watched him
closely. As scheduled, three cases
labeled “brushes” arrived on the
President Roosevelt. They lay in
storage several days until Palowitz
and Anderson appeared.
Drugs from Two Sources
Under international regulations
good shipped in bond through the
United States to another country are
not opened by customs officials.
Treasury agents said the smugglers’
scheme was to haul the cases to a
garage, substitute others stenciled in
the same manner but containing
only stones, and ship them to Trini
dad. From Trinidad they were sent
back as “returned goods” but filled
with narcotics. Drugs thus flowed
into the country both from Trinidad
and Germany, the agents stated.

She is Mrs. J. M. Finch, 57, a

gathering rare plants and bulbs.
Her workroom is remote ranges of
the Siskiyou mountains of northern
California and southern Oregon.
Her equipment is rifle, pack horse

-US POLICE UfIBWEL
53.000.000 BOLOOP
CHICAGO, June 36. —Three/wom-
en and seven men are held as part
of the gang which Thursday night
perpetrated a $3,000,000 mail rob
bery at Rondout, 111., near here, and
officers are seeking three additional
men and the bandits’ cache where
they believe the approximately forty
bags of registered mail will be found
Intact.
Morgan Collins, chief of police, ad
mitted that an accurate check upon
the contents of the stolen mail sacks
revealed a loss in excess of $3,000,-
000 all in currency or negotiable se
curities, making it the largest rob
bery in the history of the railway
mail service.
The chief pointed out that some
of the pouches had been shipped
originally from Wall street banks to
the northwest, and in that connec
tion it became known that the held
up Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
train had 'left Chicago fifteen min
utes late Thursday night, having
been held up for an important money
shipment from the east. The police
believe one or more of the seven
men under arrest actually partici
pated in the hold-up. J. H. Wayne,
seriously wounded, and James Mur
ray, former politician, were arrested
hiding under Wayne’s bed. The po
lice say they are working on the
theory that Wayne was shot by the
bandit leader when he failed to
carry out orders during the hold-up,
and that Murray had visited him in
an eft'oit to keep him from turning
informer.
Chicago defectives indicated they
thought they had information which
ivould guide them today to where
the loot is buried. They indicated the
place was near the scene of the rob
bery, basing their theory on the fact
the robbers did not have time to get
far away before disposing of the im
peding mail bags.
my life in them. For more than 26
years I have worked in the Siskiyous
and I have shipped my plants and
bulbs to most parts of the /United
States and Europe.”
Mrs. Finch generally makes her
trips alone —journeys of a week to
10 days—and meets dangers of storm
and blizzard without fear. Nor does
she fear wild animals, trusting to
her rifle accuracy for protection.
Mrs. Finch became interested in
the work when she heard stories of
the rare specimens which were hid
den away in the valleys and un
known places of the Siskiyous.
She made her first trip, and so
satisfactory were the results that
she has continued.
Plants and bullis which she col
lects are eagerly desired in all parts
of the world, rare Lewisias, Mariposa
tulips, rock plants and many others.
Mrs. Finch is in the best of health,
which she attributes to her active
outdoor life.
“I expect to be doing the same
work when Urn 60,” she declares.
' Personally, I think it’s a great life
for a woman.”

STATEMENT AVERS
Row With Butler Over Dawes
Not to Bring Resignation;
Coolidge as Mediator
WASHINGTON, June 16.—C. Bas
com Slemp, secretary to President
Coolidge, announced in a formal
statement today before leaving for
Cincinnati that he had not resigned
his present position and would con
tinue actively associated in the Re
publican national campaign.
The formal statement was issued
because of persistent reports of the
likelihood of Mr. Slemp’s ‘retirement
owing to the open disagreement be
tween him and William M. Butler,
the Coolidge campaign manager,
Muring the convention last week at
Cleveland.
The disagreement betwen Mr.
Slemp and others on the one hand
and Mr. Butler, Frank W. Stearns
and their supporters on the other,
was generally noticeable after th?
adjournment of the convention bu +
President Coolidge, after hearing
both sides, was able to bring about a
reconciliation of views.
Cousin Is HI
This statement was Issued by Mr.
Slemp:
"“1 am leaving this afternoon for
Cincinnati to be present at an opera
tion to be performed on my cousin,
P. W. 1 emp, now in a hospital
there. He is my chief dependence in
my business aff:4jrs. 1 am taking Dr.
Oden with me. I shall be away sev
eral days. The time of my return is,
in a certain sense on account of
this, indefinite.
"When I do return, I expect to
be actively associated in the cam
paign and in my present position,
which 1 have not resigned. In all
probability 1 will be on the advisory
committee of the national Repub
lican committee which will have the
real management of the campaign.
The president was understood to
have exercised his strongest tactics
in diplomacy in bringing about the
reconciliation, and it was not until
a conferece was had today with' the
secretary that the break' was avert
ed. Mr. Slemp early today confer
red with several of his associates
and then went to the White House
to talk with the president. Their
conference was the determining fac
tor in preventing a disruption in the
Coolidge forces at the very start of
the campaign.

Charging of Juries
Before Arguments
Upheld m Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., June 16.
The supreme court Monday reaf
firmed its opinion of several days
ago upholding the act of the legis
lature last year requiring judges to
charge the jury prior to arguments
of counsel jn murder cases.
Today's opinion, written by Judge
Ellis, affirmed the circuit court’ of
LaFayette county in fihe appeal of
Ben Smithy from conviction for the
alleged murder of L. T. Walker in
March, 1922.
The supreme court reversed the
circuit court for Hillsboro county in
the suit of M. Leo Elliott against
the Belt Automobile Indemnity as
sociation, involving payment of dam
ages on an automobile indemnity
policy. The lower court upheld con
tentions of the association that it
was necessary for Elliot to first pay
damages awarded O. D. Knowles
against him, resulting from an au
tomobile accident, the association to
later reimburse Elliott.
The supreme court reversed the
circuit court for Hillsboro county in
the case of Ernest McDaniel, plain
tiff in error, vs. the Exchange Sup
ply company, for personal injuries,
in which the lower court sustained
a demurrer to the declaration. The
supreme court held that the declara
tion did not wholly fail to state a
cause of action.
Daugherty Assistant
Explains to Senators
Delays.m Prosecuting
WASHINGTON, June 16.—The ac
tivities and attitude of The depart
ment of justice in the prosecutions
under anti-trust laws were discussed
today before the Senate Daugherty
investigating committee by A. T.
Seymour, assitant attorney general.
While Mr. Seymour dealt in par
ticular with the implied charges in
previous testimony that the depart
ment had failed to prosecute ade
quately cases brought against the
Southern Pine association, he went
over the entire subject of the en
forcement of the laws in that re
spect.
The Southern Pine association,
Mr/ Seymour said, had been attacked
for its conduct in price questions by
a proceeding now pending before
federal courts. Some of the delay in
bringing the subject to a conclusion,
he said, was due to conflicting de
cisions of the supreme court.

POMOM GAIN
FOB YEAR OF 1923
NEW YORK, June 16.—The popu
lation of the United States increas
ed 1,943,000 during 1923, according
to estimates announced by the Na
tional Bureau of Economic Re-t
sea rcli.
On January 1, 1924, the total popu
lation was 112,826,000, the bureau's
figures show.
In the latter half of 1923 a net
increase of 1,162,000 was recorded.
This, was the greatest growth for a
six months’ period in tne natiqn's
history, the bureau’s report states.
The usual increase is attributed
to the heavy excess of immigration
over emigration and the lowest
death rate which ever prevailed dur*’
ing a similar period in this country.
