PRESS CAMPAIGN
PUBLICITY LAW
Belmont and Chandler Fa-
vOr the New Amend
ment

Washington April 6.-Perry Bel
mont and former Senator William e.
Chandler today addressed a letter TO
Senator Kern, majority leader in the
upper house, pressing for favorable
action upon amendments proposed to
the campaign publicity law to en-
power federal courts to order sum-
mary inquests into alleged infractioDs
of the publicity laws, upon proper Pc
titions of certain federal officers or
any 10 voters. The same provision
was stricken from an original pub-
licity bill on it's passage through Con-
gress.
Public sentiment against corrupt
and secret contributions and expendi-
lures has been so great that the fall
ure to provide inquests up to this does
not appear harmful and. may be ex-
cused" the writers said. "but as time
passes more and more Will recourse
10 disclosures obtained by such sum-
mary inquests in the courts be needed
TO provide against possible recurrent
to the secret use of party funds
They also press for passage OF bills
for publicity of campaign funds prior
to conventions for nominations OF pres
ident and Vice president which are to
be reintroduced by Representative
Henry.

INTEREST SHOWN
IN POLO SERIES

Lakewood n. j., April Slopes OF
American sportsmen who are looking
forward with interest not unmixed with
anxiety to the series of polo games for
the international polo trophy between
English and American teams in June
have been raised by the fine showing
of candidates for the American team

no definite selections will be made for
some time, the showing in practice of
the international four. Capt. Harry
Payne Whitney, Devereux Milburn and
the Waterbury brothers. who success
fully defended the trophy in 1911, has

NEW CROP INTERESTS
THE COTTON MARKET
First Critical Stage of the
Crop Is Now at
Hand

New Orleans, April 6--The cotton
market this week will be more in
terested in the new crop than any
planting will be general over all but
the most northern sections of the cot
ton region, unless weather conditions
are unfayorable. Should the weather
be fair and moderately warm this week
it will be generally assumed that the
crop is getting at least an average
start and the bear side will have the
advantage. Heavy rains and cold
weather will interfere with planting
and will give the advantage to the
bulls. The first really critical stage
of the crop may now be said to be at
hand.
Next to weather and crop news. the
trade will be interested in the river
situation, although influences from this
source are more sentimental than 9TH
erwise. Unbiased traders have pointed
out that the total area in the central
belt that may be affected by over
flows is only about $4,000 acres and
they contend that too much import
ance should not be given to such a
small part of the entire area to be
planted this spring, which Is some
where between 100000 and 10000, 900
acres. Bears also have advanced one
argument which has considerable merit
and that is that, even with the prob
able stage in the river getting high
er and higher the highest levels will
be maintained only for a short time,
after which planting may go on as
usual. The effect of bad river news
on the market, however, must be taken
into consideration regardless of whet-
er 1t is justified or not. Breaks in
the levees in important farming sec
tions will undoubtedly result in high
er prices in the cotton market
The spot situation which the bulls
contend is improving the operations
of the hull clique will be watched
closely and bulls are liable to have
some effect on prices. The May po-
sitions has become such that shorts
have liquidated and large part of
their holdings and very bullish ru-
mors are going about concerning the
July option. Developments of import
ance in this direction are likely to
come to light at almost any time.

The First Coal Mine.

The presence of coal in the Rich
mond basin of Virginia WAS known as
far back as 1900, and mines were
opened and worked at as early date
as 100 In 1883 shipments were made
to some of the northern states. In
1872, according to r. G. Taylor, in his
Statistics of Coal" the production
amounted to $4,000 short tons. For
nearly century the Richmond basin
maintained some prominence as a coal
producer; but in 1882, when the Po-
eahontas district was opened. followed
shortly afterward by the development
of the New River field in West Viz
Sinia, the mines in the Richmond ba-
sin were put at disadvantage and
operations were for many years prac-
tically suspended.
During the last four years, how
ever, new life has been introduced
into the Richmond basin areas by the
reopening of the old Clayton mines in
Henrico county. For many years at
