COTTON GOES UP!
ON FIRM CABLES

NEW YORK, June t2.-With good Liy-
erpool cables the cotton market opened
up this morning at an advance of to s
points. Active trading was being done
by the ring crowd, who sold freely to the
bulls. Weather conditions were reported
to be unsettled along the gulf coast This
report caused a slight rise However
though, most of the advance was caused
by heavy realizing by the leading spot
houses, and Liverpool also was in good
demand for spots.
a report saying a storm warning was
likely to move toward the Texas coast
and northwest into Texas caused a
sharp advance over the opening Trad
ing was chiefly confined to the bull
force, which bought freely on the strong
Liverpool market. Business done by the
ring crowd was in scattered orders.
Shorts made a rush to cover at the ad
vance and were active buyers.
In the last hour of the session the mar
ket looked as If a small reaction would
develop before the close, due to heavy
selling by the local, ring crowd How
ever, prices held up under the pressure
and sustained the high level of the day,

SEN. M'LEAN EXPLAINS
 VOTE AGAINST HERRICK
Did Not Like His Criticisms of
 Senator LaFolIette

Washington, Feb. 21-Senator Me- Lean today testified to his admira- tion in some degree of the progress sive movement in politics and sounded call for harmony in Republican ranks when he issued a statement explaining his recent vote against the confirma ton by the Senate of the nomination of Myron T. Herrick of Ohio for ambassador tos France. The Senator's statement follows:
 ''I voted against MT. Herrick as protest against his sharp criticisms of Senator LaFollette and his followers. MT. Herrick was at the time as good as appointed American ambassador to France and it seemed to me that his conversation and public utterances should comport with the high dignity of the great office and honor his coun- try was about to confer upon him. Moreover, while do not always agree with Senator LaFollette, he counts among his friends some of the brain- fest men in the country today and he represents a force in politics which cannot be destroyed with the bluds geon of abuse.
 Personally I should like to see fac- tional difference in the party surren- der to the present crying need of the country for sane and sober speech and action.''

ENGINEER SHOT
 BUT RUNS PAST
 TRAIN ROBBERS

Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Feb. 21.-En- gineer David Mansfield was shot through the arm as he ran his Chi cago & Northwestern fast mail train No. through a rain of bullets fired by masked train robbers at Bertram, five miles east of here, early today. and saved his passengers from the bandits. The train left Chicago, last night, and was due here at 2:3O am. As it approached Bertram, the en- gineer, slowed down to four miles an hour because of a track which was undergoing repairs Evidently, the robbers knew of this, for one of them with a lantern signalled the train to stop. Engineer Mansfield was suspfc- ious of the signal and, instead of stopping, opened wide the throttle. As the train plunged ahead, the dis appointed robbers opened fire, one bullet going through the arm of the engineer as he held the throttle open.
 When the train arrived here every availa ble man was rushed to the scene in automobiles and began a search Of the fields and timber. Passengers were frightened by the firing of the bandits but no passenger was injured
 Engineer Mansfield tainted from loss of blood after he stopped his train at the station here.
