ADDS TO THE COTTON AREA.
Paraguay Is About to Engage In the
Culture on a LARGE Scale.

SefheFS wv -
The recent advance in the price OF
cotton in this country and in England
has stimulated the culture of the plant
In other countries. The possibility
that the cotton manufacturers OF the
world are facing the prospect OF a
dearth Of raw material seems to have,
excited the people of Paraguay. Cot
ton grows wild in that country, and
the cultivated product. though diner
ent from ours, has a long and line sta
pie.
AS in Peru, the plant Is a small tree
rather than a little bush, n 1t lives
and produces for several years. Euro
oean manufacturers have reported
good results from its use. The Para
suayans. however. have never given
much attention to its cultivation. =
The newspapers OF Asuncion have
suddenly awakened to the opportunii
ties presented. and have risen to tho
occasion. They are offering many slug
gestions to the government and assert
hat cotton will yet place Paraguay on
the high road to prosperity.
They ask the government 10 cinplo,

DR.. Bertoni, to prepare pamphlets fol

descriptive of the nature and dua'i'iel
Of Paraguayan cotton and the taciii
ties for producing large supplies OF 1t.
They ask that DR.. Bertoni, Mr.. Anisit
and other experts be engaged TO max

ton cultivation in the republic; alsa
that the government print and distrit'

Demurrer FILED by Mr.. Bryan

Counsel for William j. Bryan filed
in the superior court at New Haven,
Conn, a demurrer to the plea in abate-
ment, recently offered by counsel for
the heirs Of Philo s.. Bennett. of whose
will Mr.. Bryan is ar executor. The
plea in abatement was to set aside the
appeal Of Mr.. Bryan from the decision
of the judge of probate, excluding the
sealed letter which was left by Mr..
Bennett and which provided for a gift
of $4,000 to Mr.. Bryan.
The demurrer says the allegations In
the plea constitute no reason for abat-
ing the appeal, that Mr., Bryan has no
interest as executor, or otherwise, ad-
verse to the appeal, and that his pur-
pose in appealing is to effectuate and
not to thwart the intent of the testator

FIGHT ANTi.TOxlN TRUST
Chicago Medical Men Have Opened .
Battle for Cheaper Prices

ChicnRO Medical Men Have Opened .
Battle for Cheaper Prices
The Chicago medical society and the
Illinois state medical association will
begin legal proceedings against the an
ti-toxin trust under the antitrust law.
Secretary Pritchard OF the health de-
partment SAYS that he has information
to that effect.
An official statement regarding the
death trust in an~ti-toxin was issued
by Secretary Pritchard. The statement
says:
The anti-toXin trust Is nothing more
or less than a trific in human life.
Three concerns. which manufacture
and practically control the a~nti-toxin
supply OF almost the entire country,
have seen fit to arbitrarily advance the
price OF their produce 100 per cent.
This discovery was made by tho de-
partment OF health of the city Of Chi
cago. when, In ordering its needed sup
plies for charity work. 1t was met with
these increased quotations.
THE department felt compelled to
cali attention to the evidence that a
combine had been formed which eff
fectually controlled the price of the
only known remedy for the most dread
sc0urge to the child life Of the coun-
try. Primarily our object wa to call
attention to the immediate effect this
would have on the death rate OF
children in the city OF Chicago"

ARRAIONlNG OF ROOSEVELT
MIR. Bryan Pays His Respects to the
Republican Trust Attitude

In his speech at the banquet held at
the Lindell hotel. Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan
in opening made a feeling reference to
the death Of General Vifquain. He
made few references 20 his trip to
Europe. save such as were of friendly
interest in the countries over the
water. He suggested that one of them
felt any animosity to the nUited States
and that 1t was useless to talk of en-
larging the navy, as there would never
be any need to use II against these ma
tons. for the people over there would
restrain their rulers should they ever
seek war with the United States.
He had scathing words for the
friends OF corporate interests in the
democratic party and said that he
wanted none of their assistance as
tney had brought the party to it's ebb.
He did not want to mortgage the party
to the people who would contribute the
most to the campaign fund and would
afterward despoil the nation.
In speaking of trusts. afteC bitterly
arraigning them, Mr.. Bryan criticised
the president for not being consistent
in his opposition to these corporate in
terests. He said he had not carried on
the war against them to h point
where he might under,the law and as
a result had purchased his renomina-
ton at the expense Of a neglect OF
duty in this direction. He asked how
1t was possible to criticise a man for
selling his vote for s. or another per-
son for selling a postofice for $500
when the president had purchased his
denomination at the expense Of $780,
600, 900 drawn from the pockets OF the
people of the United States through
the trusts.
