the growing consumption of cots
ton, Mr. Brlttin said if this years
crop was kept within 100000
bales in three to five years the
world would require crop of 49,

New Orleans, Jan 25.--What
is firmly believed will be the So
luton of the cotton situation was
reached here today, when the
cotton convention without a dis
senting vote declared in favor of q
20 per cent reduction in acreage
and an equal reduction in CONNER
cial fertilizer, and backed, that
action up with the adoption of a
comprehensive plan to secure the
support of every farmer, big and
little, in the cotton belt. An

AT the opening afternoon $685.
sion former Senator McLaurin,
of South Carolina, spoke along
the lines of national protection for
the cotton growers, saying that
heretofore the cotton planter had
been sacrificed to the doctrine of
free raw material.
A PRo-RoosEvELT DEMONSTRATION.
A reference to President Roose-
velt's kindness to the South pro
voked favorable demonstration
on the part of the audience.
Former Lieutenant Governor
Jester, of Texas, from the COM
mittee on "holding and financing
the balance of the present CROP"
presented a report setting forth
that each State and local section
seems amply able to finance its
present holdings. The committee
believed that the cotton now in
the hands of the producers should
remain on the farm or be stored
in local warehouses, protected
against weather and fire, and said
that the banks and commission
men evidenced willingness to aid
in marketing the balance of the
crop SO as to hold in check any
disposition to rush in cotton un-
duly and break the market. Be-
lief was expressed that 25 per
cent reduction in acreage and 25
per cent. reduction in fertilizers
will solve the cotton problem.

most representative that has
gathered in the south, declared
that reduction of acreage and
commercial fertilizer is the para

at the convention, and it must be
settled before any other business
Is undertaken. Eleven hundred

senting the 13 cotton growing
States and territories, had regis

called to order. Even that mum.

voice In the convention and though
the motion provoked considerable
discussion it finally prevailed.
On motion Of j A Brown of
North Carolina committee on
permanent organization of one
delegate from each State was nam
ed and pending its report well
coming addresses by Mayor Behr-
man and President Sanders of the
Progressive union were listened
to. There were responses by
Walter Clark of Clarksdale, Miss,
and j Pope Brown, chairman of
the Georgia railroad commission.
Mr. Brown said it was the num-
Der of bales which regulated the
price of cotton and the present
price would not advance until it
was known that the production
this year was to be curtailed.
Eight million bales would be an
ample crop to raise this year.
With the 100000 of surplus
held on to, it would give precisely
the crop the bears desire. He

THf CHICAGO STRIKE
It Hay be ReinStated by the AggfeSs-

Chicago. July 24.-At a mass meet ing of employers held this afternoon. at which representatives of over 200 busi- ness houses were present, it was de- cided that no more Of the teamsters who have been on strike would be rein stated until all of the unions have call cd off the strike.
 The action taken by the employers association may result in giving new lease of life to the teamsters' strike. As soon as the stand taken by the em- ployers had been made known to the unions. a meeting of the teamsters joint council was called for tomorrow night to consider ways and means of renew ing the fight should such a course be decided upon.

This would mean the calling out of S5,OOO men. whereas bul 5000 were involved in the strike which has recently de- nlared at an end by the teamsters joint council

SILENT BUT IMPRESSIVE
The Transfer of Paul Jones Body
 From Ship to Shore.

Annapolis, Md, July 24.-The body of John Paul Jones now rests on Amer ican soil, housed temporarily in an un- pretentious vault in the center of the grounds of the naval academy and near the unfinished chapel in whose crypt later it is to find honored Cepose, a perpetual inspiration to young men Of the nation here trained in the arts of naval warfare.
 The solemn evolutions of the funeral cortege, the impressive spectacle of the white clad jackies, marines and mid shipmen who stood in solid phalanX on the sea wall and later surrounded in profound silence the crepe-draped tomb, the trembling words of praise and supplication of the black robed chaplain before the bier on threshold of the vault, the deposit of the body, the musket fire in volleys and the sound ing of taps, all these were in keeping with the revered memory to which honor was done. The people of An napolis added their presence to quiet demonstration, surrounding the cordon of the naval personnel with barred heads and in respectful silence.
 The only words that were uttered during the entire transfer from ship to the shore were the prayer of the chaplain just before the body was placed in the tomb.

SUPERVISED BY POLICE
There was no Betting at DaimaT
 Track Yesterday.

St Louis July 24.-About 100 police men under command of Captain Me Nance, acting upon orders from Chief instructions from Governor Folk, fore ed an entrance into the Delmar race track today to see that there was no violation of the anti-pOOl selling law and to arrest any persons actually seen making bets. No arrests were made.
 With a squad of about thirty officers Captain McNamee appeared at the race track entrance at the time of the first race and demanded admission. It was not granted and he and his men marched in, meeting with no resist ance.
 Fearing attempts might be made to resist the officers if arrests were to be made. Captain McNamee ordered a second squad from the reserves and the squad had just arrived when Con- stable Lentz, with a posse and war rant charging trespass and destruction of property. endeavored to arrest Cap tain McNamee.
 Chief Kelley had ordered that none or the officers should submit to arrest and Captain McNamee refused to consider the endeavors of Constable Lentz to take him into custody, his own men surrounding him in protection until Lentz desisted.
 The races were run on schedule De- fore an interested crowd of citizens and police and when the last race had been run everybody departed.

Star last night and that subsequently, Emperor Nicholas went on board the Hohenzollern and remained until long after midnight in the German emper- or's cabin, no further details of the meeting are yet available.
 The meeting of the two mOnarchs naturally created intense interest in diplomatic circles. In some quarters there is a disposition to attach the deep est political significance to it and all sorts of theories are advanced. They are, however, largely speculation- II is officially announced that the visit was only a visit of courtesy made by Elm peror William to his brother monarch before leaving the Gulf of Bothnia, but under the circumstances the diplomats cannot believe that such meeting was devoid of meaning to the worlds poll tical chessbOard.
 No matter what the ultimate result may be. however, all the diplomats agree that it's first effect would make for peace as Emperor William is known 10 be strongly of the opinion that Elm peror Nicholas should conclude peace and set his house in order
