NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The Republl-
can situation in New York State was
laid before President Taft today by
leaders representing both the "old

Otis T, Barnard, Republican candidate
for Mayor at the. last city election At
ter Mr.. Barnard came Samuel S. Koe-
mig, chairman of the county committee,
and later in the day he had an appoint
ment to receive William Barnes, jr,
the State chairman.
Mr.. Barnes's call, in view of the re-
cent criticism attributed to him of the
President, was surprise to those out
side the Presidents circle, for he did
not attend any of the functions at
which the President spoke last night.
AS Mr.. Barnes left he said that the
President had sent for him and that
they had pleasant chat. More than
this he would not say. DIR. Lyman
Abbott, editor of The Outlook, called
to pay his respects
The President intends to do some
Christmas shopping this afternoon af-
ter he had helped to lay the corner
stone of the First Settlemen House for
the Blind.

ney James H. Wilkerson. in ibis ad-
dress to the jury in the packers trials,
dealt severely with the National Pack

THE organization of the National
Packing Company was sham, and its
stockholders and directors are just as
guilty under the law as if the fixing of
business and the control of the meat
industry had been accomplished by
individuals
He argued that the intent of packers
to fix prices was shown by the history
of the packing industry, and said there
had been a packers pool for thirty
years. The object of the National
Packing Company, he declared, was
to continue this pool

EVIDENCE OF A
 B|G COTTON CROP Total Production for 1911- 12 Season Over Fourteen
 Million Bales

Washington, December 1.-The total production of cotton in the United states for the season of 19l1-12 will amount tc 7,121, 13OO0 pounds, not including lntefs or 14Ss5,o0o bales of 800 pounds, according to the first official estimate of the size of the crop issued at ? p. m., today by the crop reporting board of the departmeni of agriculture.
 Heretofore the record cotton crop was that of the year 1904 when 13, 43S, 012 bales were grown. Other large crops were those of 1906 which was 1S273,S09 bales and lSUs
 1924 ,799 bales were grown. In point a tlue however, the crop of 1910 was the
 d, with 1,6OS616 bales. valued at
 10000 and the cotton seed at sl42,S6O,- u a total of $963, 1sO000.
 ndtions early in the growing season lhs year led to the belief that the crop ,lneld be one of record proportions. This igasL area exceeds the previous record of acreage by more than 2,5O0,00 acres. In the record production year of 1904 only 90, O52, 739 acres were planted.
 Scorching hot and excessively dry weather during the middle of the summer caused considerable damage to cotton in many parts of the cotton belt. Later Tn the season weather conditions were dis tinctly favorable in most parts of the belt and the crop improved. One result of the hot weather was that the crop matured about two weeks earlier than usual.
 The production by states follows:
 Virginia, 23.0OO bales; North Carolina, 935 GOO; South Carolina, 1,4S0,O00; Georgia, g. 5000: Florida. 73,O00; Alabama, 1,60OO00 Mississippi, 1,195O00; Louisiana, 359 GOO; Texas, 1, 2s0, 600; Arkansas, 915,000; Tennes- see, 420.000; Missouri. 990O0 Oklahoma, 915,O00; California, 11000.
 Immediately following the publication of the figures the cotton market broke sev- eral points, indicating the figures were even larger than expected.
