LAW WOULD |NJURE
SOUTHERN STATES
Proposal to Prohibit Growth
of Cotton Would Cause
Great Loss


Washington. July 21.--Federal experts
estimate that loss of almost s10S,O00,0OO
a year to cotton growers in Alabama,
Georgia, Tennessee and Florida would
result from the adoption of the plan pro-
posed recently by Senator Smith of South
Carolina, which contemplated the estab-
lishment of belt in which the growth of
cotton should be prohibited by law, in an
effort to keep the cotton boil weevil from
spreading eastward into the Atlantic
coast states This conclusion has been
reached by the department of agriculture,
based provision for the elimination
of strip about 100 miles wide down
through Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia
and Florida. No figures were prepared
to show how this loss of $1OS,0OO 600 an
nually might be Offset either in part or
in full, by the raising of other crops.

tion there. Advices which officials be-
Iteve 10 be perfectly trustworthy seem
to indicate that the strife between the
Huertn regime and the revolutionary
elements Is nearingsa point where some
definite conclusion Is to he reached.
Information OF this situation when
permitted to become known today was
coupled with the authoritative state
ment that the United States was max
ing no additional naval or military
preparations. Reports of Impending
collapse OF the Huerta regime are be-
ing talked over freely in official cir
eles, though no official of the admin
istration will permit his name to be
coupled with them. All information
made public was with the stipulation
that it should be represented as re-
hecting the views of the administra-
tion.
Meanwhile President Wilson is awaiting
the coming of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson, hurrylng north from Mexico city
to make first hand report of conditions
His reports Will be compared with those
President Wilson has received from other
sources. Secretary Bryan, who has can
celed some of his lecture dates that ne
may return to Washington Thursday or

Ambassador Wilson was at Havana to-
day, and one indication of the desire to
hurry him to Washington was seen in
request by Secretary Bryan to Surgeon
General Blue of the public health service
to expedite the ambassadors passage
through quarantine AT Havana and Key
West
While the first intimation of the admin
apprehensive regard for the
latest development came early today.

from high quarters that
