LONDON, April 25.—Protection for tlie cotton trade of Lancaster, by fos tering the supply of cotton indepen dent of America, was the gist of Chancellor Lloyd George's argument on introducing in the House of Com mons a resolution permitting the Brit ish Government to guarantee a Sudan loan of $15,000,000 for the develop ment of cotton growing along the Nile. The Chancellor of the Exchequer remarked that occasional difficulties with regard to supplies of American , otton. arising from the market being cornered and thus causing a short age here despite abundant crops, made it necessary to foster the growth of cotton where it would be under British control. Egyptian cotton, he claimed, was better from the point of view of the manufacturer because of the quality of the goods obtained from that prod uct, and also better from the point of view of the workman, because it was i leaner and more healthful to w ork than American cotton. The resolution was adopted with out division. Millions Spent by Europe. With the $16,000,000 Sudan loan, England will have spent $17,347,869 in attempts to become independent of the cotton fields of the Southern Unit ed States. Germans' and France com bined have spent about $1,000,000 in the same way, and Russia has pour ed out money like water for irri gation projects In Asiatic possessions, v here cotton is grown. These figures include not only Governmental ex- ditures, but also funds raised by spinners. The United States raises something like three-quarters of the world’s cot ton crop. The great cloth industries of Europe are absolutely dependent upon the American farmer. A short crop, or manipulation in the futures markets, has made the European manufacturers pay "through the nose” time and again. The attitude of the Southern cotton men in the face of the desperate at tempts to grow an important quantity of cotton elsewhere is "we should worry.” Causes Only a SmiU. Lloyd-George’s statement about the superiority of Egyptian cotton is not to be challenged, but it provokes a smile. Egyptian cotton is better—so much better that America Itself imports iarge quantities of it. Egyptian cotton ha? a long, silky staple, from which the finest grades of hosiery are made. Its nearest rival is the sea island cotton of Georgia and the other Atlantic States. It competes with silk, not with other cotton. It is, and always will be, too high grade and too expensive for use In ordinary cloths. With improvements in mill machinery, the spinners are striving every year to make the same grades of cloth from shorter and shorter staples, with the consequent economy.

Mrs. Callie Scott Appelbaum started her statement on the witness stand with that declaration in her trial for the death of her husband this morning. She continued: "At 12:20 midnight of February 25 he lay down beside n J with a revolver in his hand and said: "You’ve got just five minutes to live." "I put my head under the cover and told him to shoot. I give you my word of honor I do not remember anything else till I was in the housekeeper 's room the next morning and some kind lady was bathing my head." With every prospect of her fate being decided before the niglil, Mrs Callie Scott Appelbaum, on trial for the death of her husband in the Hotel Dakota on February 25, left her quarters in the county jail this morning, fully recovered from her collapse of yesterday, ami with the declaration: "I feel like saying good-by now.” Every trace of her fainting spell in the courtroom yesterday removed, the prisoner in the sensational ease looked brigh': and confident and ready to take the stand to tell her brief story. Her very air bespoke assurance of a favorable outcome. “I know I will be free before thi- night falls,” she told deputies. "I feel fine, and don’t think I will have any more trouble. The place was so crowded yesterday I couldn't set my breath, and that was why l felt so faint. I feel so good this morning that I can’t believe I will he brought back to jail a prisoner.’ 1 Many Expect Acquittal. The case in expected to go to the jury by 1 o'clock this afternoon, and by 2 o’clock, those who have followed the trial say, Mrs. Appelbaum will be declared innocent of the charge ot murdering her husband. Mrs. Applebaum will go on the stand eariy in the trial this morn ing. By virtue of the evidence tend ing to show she was under 'he in fluence of the potential hypnotic drug when the tragedy occurred, it Is not unlikely she will repeat almost the same remarkabble story she did at the coroner's Inquest I don’t know how it happened." The defense lias only one other wit ness to offer to-day. Dr. James X. Ellis, who will give expert testimony on gunshot wounds and the effects of varinol, the drug physicians testi fied Mrs. Appelbaum might have been under the influence of when her hus band met liis death.

Just how long the attor neys will argue was not decided, hut neither side will take longer than an hour and a half, and at this rate the Jury should lie retired between 1 and 2 o’clock. The largest crowd that lias attend ed the trial was in the court room when Mrs. Appelbaum entered. There were not over six or eight women, and there was a noticeable absence of girls of the age and type that fr?7 quented the Grace trial. The accused was attired in t He same faultless mourning attiie she has worn since the beginning of the trial. She entered with Deputy Sheriff Pllnnie Miner, but Instead of leaning heavily on his arm, as she did when she left the room yester day afternoon, she walked unassisted and her step w'as light and buoyant. She went immediately to the table where her attorneys were seated and. taking her notebook from a handbag, read carefully the proceedings of the last two days In court. Read for Worst Trial. When Judge L. S. Roan entered she looked up and smiled pleasantly and bowed to the jury that came in shortly after.
