New Orleans, La, November 15:
Following the arrival Of President Har-
vie Jordan, the Southern Cotton asso-
citation today perfected plans for TAX
ing off the market 100000 bales or
cotton by means of a series of pledges,
which the farmers will sign themselves
stating their name and address and
the amount of cotton they will thus
hold. The cotton held will not be sold
for less than Is cents a pound accord
ing to the pledges. A representative
of the association is TO be sent into
every one of the S17 cotton producing
counties of the cotton belt at once.
When the pledges are signed they will
be sent to the central office of the as
sociation in Atlanta. President Jordan
says that half Of the crop has already
been sold at an average of ten cents
and the spinners must have all the
remainder. He believes that fifteen
cents for the remainder is fair price,
and 1t will only average the spinners
12k cents, while they have based all
their calculations on 14-cents cotton.

The presidents of state uaiversi-
ties says a Washington dispatch, have
reached the unanimous agreement that
the code of honor as understood and
practiced by the University Of Louis
lana is the most highly developed of
any in the Uni:ed States. The honor
system had been discussed for some
time by the association Of presidents
here at convention. AT the Univer-
sity of Virginia" volunteered Dean
VIM. M. Thornton, "a student may crib
10 his hearts content and the student
body won't say word, but II won't
take them long to run out of town a
fellow who cribs in examinations.
With us, students sanction poker"
said Chancellor Robert Fulton, Of Mis-
sissippi, but they will make 1t hot for
a man that cheats at poker, Accord
ing to our students" said President

poker all night and not offend, but pity
the student who engages in a game or
craps They consider that as not a
gentleman's game" That ended the

No boycott; no race feeling, but a
mere personal quarrel was the cause
of the death of the five American Pres
byterian missionaries recently at Lien
chow, in China, according to the re-
port made last Wednesday to Secretary
Root by Sir Chentung Liang Cheng,
the Chinese minister at Washington.
The report, which is from the viceroy
of the provinces of Kwantung and
Kwansgsi, says in part. THE Ameri-
can consul at Canton is inclined to
connect this affair with the boycott
movement with the view of making the
most of the situation. 1t was found
that the trouble originated in a stand
ing dispute between DR.. Machle and
the Catholic converts. On October 2S,
a festival was being celebrated out
side the city of Leinchow, near hos
pital connected with the American mis-
sionary establishment at that place. A
platform built for the occasion happen
ed to encroach slightly upon the
ground belonging to the American Mis-
s,onary society. DR.. Machle desired
its removal. and seized three conSecra-
ted canAons on the altar. This act ex-
cited the indignation OF the village
people and brought on a riot" The
viceroy says all the evidence taken
tended to show that the trouble had
no connection with the boycott move
men;.
Reed Smoot, Mormon apostle and
United States senator says dispatch,
emerges from the Salt Lake City cam
paign a discredited politician a I'd in
disrepute among the members of the
church. AS the result of his interfer-
ence in the political affairs Of city
where he does not reside, his retire
ment from leadership in the Republi-
can party of the state is demanded.
and charges of unchristian cOnduc. are
likely to be preferred against him In
his church. Smoot has succeeded in
sOlidifying the Gentle opposition to
his prese.ce in the political field, and
has aroused bitter antagonism within
the church. So intense is this reVul-
sion among the members of his reli-
gious faith that ii is openly hi lted by
prominent Mormons that Smoot may
be deposed as an apostle. He has be-
come involved in bitter personal
quarrel with a fellow apostle, Charles
w. Perrose. editor of the Deseret
News. the official organ of the Mormon
church. Penrose had been almost saw
age in his defense of Smoot prior to
their personal breach. Now the editor
is accused by SmoOt of fase state
ments Penrose has great influence In
Mormon court circles. and II is not
to be presumed that he will submit
meekly to the abuse that Smoot has
heaped upon him.
