A CONSULTING EXPERT
COL. HESTER HAS ACCEPTED A
 NEW JOB.
In Connection With His work in New Orleans Cotton Exchange He
 Will Tell Director North All About F1eecy Staple.
Advertiser Bureau,
 1925 G. St, N. w., yXya.h f-.+An Naxv 0Q

Washington. May 2s. After going carefully over the sit-
 nation with Director North of the census, Col. R. G. Hester. secretary
 of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
 has accepted the position of consult ing statistical expert to the cotton division of the census bureau. Col
 onel Hester spent some time with Di-
 rector North yesterday and was with him again today. He round that the duties of the position with the cen sus bureau would in no way confiict with the statistical work he has been doing for several years and that he would be able to carry on both at the
 same time.
 In carrying out the law passed at the last session of Congress, wnich provided for the preparation Of cer, tain statistics, the census office Will arrive at its results from a different standpoint than that which Colonel Hester works from. It will get ac- curate and exact figures of the actuai growth; the figures on cotton carried over each year; and will eventually arrive at the exact figures of the mill stock left over in this country ana abroad.
 The government could not. or course, touch upon the work Of gath ering the rapidfire information that Colonel Hester gathers on weekly ana monthly conditions. but with its im- mense forces it can gather greater mass and fuller details of informa- ton, if given plenty of time.
 Director North realizes. as do all who are interested in the cotton in- dustry, the value of such facts to the cotton people of the country. An ac- curate knowledge of the amount or cotton left on hand whether stored Tor future sales or in the mills. at the end of each year. will enable the cot" ton growers to intelligently arrange their operations for the ensuing year. From time to time, as the census office reports come in and are exam ined by Director North and his sta tisticians. Colonel Hester will De called into consultation fin order that the government may have the benefit of his exceptional knowledge or cot. ton conditions and figures. Colonel Hester will leave for New Orleans to-
 morrow. to return to Washington when summoned to Washington by MT. North. Part of his work will ne done by mail but it will be frequent ly necessary for him to consult per- sonally with the census officials. R. H. Watkins.

HUNGARY's POLITICS.
Situation Has Reached a Very Acu

Stage.
 Vienna, May 2S.-The political situ- ation in Hungary has passed within tho last few days from the passive stage of recent months into a comparatively acute stage that Is threatening really serious consequences. Count TisZa, 1t Is said will be removed from the Pre- miership next week and in his stead will be appointed If he can form cab met, General Baron Fejervary, formerly Hungarian Minister of National De- fense, which office he had to resign be- cause of great unpopularity arising from his extreme partisanship to the crown in matters within his jurisdic- ton.
 The possibilities with which the po- litical situation is pregnant may lead to a state of affairs meaning practically revolution, especially as Baron Feter- vary Is thought to be a man who will carry out the crowns wishes irrespec- tive of Hungarian national demands. The situation has not been so threat ening as it is today since peace was established between Austria and Hun gary in 1887.

Jurors Threatened.

Vienna, May 2s.-At the trial here of seven Austro- Italians from Trieste who are charged with high treason, their complicity arising from an alleged plot to start a revolution in the Italian provinces of Austria during tho erup- tion last summer of the irredentist movement, considerable excitement de- veloped owing to the receipt by one of the Jurors of a letter from Trieste threatening the jurors with death if any of the men on trial were convicted.
 The letter was signed by the ire dentist committee. When the letter was published the judge cleared tho court and decided to conduct the trial behind closed doors in the future.
