COTTON SEED STATISTICS.
Director Harris Receives Numerous
Requests for More Detailed Bullc-
tins.

Director Harris, of the Bureau of
Census, finds that there is great de-
mand for the publication at more fire.
quent intervals Of statistics concern
ing the consumption of cotton seed.
1t has been the practice of the Bu-
reau of the Census to compile statis-
ton crop only twice during the gin
ming season. The first report for the
crop Of 1912 related to the quantity of
cotton seed crushed prior to January
l, 1913. The second report showed
the quantity crushed prior to March !, ,
1913, with an estimate of the quantity
remaining to be crushed from the
crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are col
lected in connection with those for
the production of cotton as reported
by the ginners. This is necessary be-
cause the quantity of linters is con-
stantly increasing and forms much
larger percentage of the total crop
than heretofore.
Mr.. Harris believes that an addi-
tional report showing the quantity of
seed crushed and Of linters obtained
should relate to some date between
October 81 and January /. He is not
certain as to the most desirable date
and is accordingly corresponding with
the farmers and cotton seed oil mills
in order to establish it. 1t is hoped
that all will agree upon n fixed date
SO that the work can be inauguratcd
during the present season.
This additional report will he of
value to the farmers, as we'll as To the
oil mills and public generally.

far has occurred in Mexico to change
the British view that recognition OF

The attitude Of the administration
here is that the forcible arrest of most
of the members of the Mexican con-
gress and the arbitrary assumption
by Gen. Huerta of the legislative as
we'll as executive powers of the gov
ernment in themselves constitutes acts
which matrially alter the state of
affairs in Mexico.
The presentation of Sir Lionel Car

rencGs is being interpreted by Ameri-

British explanation, as a move out Of
sympathy with the viewpoint Of the
United States.
There were no developments in the

MAKES PLEA FOR
YOUNGER ADMIRALS
Congress Held Responsible for
the "LamentabIe Condition"
of the Navy.


WASHINGTON. April 11.-Congress
stands in the way of efficient control
of the navy, according to Colonel
Robert M. Thompson, chairman of
the executive committee of the Navy
League of the United States.
Younger admirals," he declared,
also were necessary to make an
American fleet effective in time of
war.
For some reason" said Colonel
Thompson. "Cong@ss has always had
a strong prejudice against giving high
rank to officers in the navy. When
the Spanish War started our entire
system of promotion was ignored.
officers to command the fleet were
selected, eleven from the eaptain's
list, the senior officers being ignored,
and Congress persistently refused to
provide for the situation which con-
fronts it,
Colonel Thompson declared that in
January, 1912, of the twenty eight
rear-admirals on the naval list the
average service at sea for each was
one year and seven months as COM
manders and as captains one year
and nine months. He added that fif-
teen of the twenty eight had had no
sea service as rear-admirals, while
the remainder had been in supreme
command on an average of only nine
months at sea.
Under the present law" he de-
clared, "our admiras are too old
when they reach the flag rank and
thew have had too little experience in
command to be properly qualified
for handling the fleet in time of war.
When an emergency comes. if our ad-
mirals are efficient, it is not because
of the working of the present law,
but in spite of it. Congress has much
to answer for in permitting the pres
ent lamentable conditions in the navy
to exist
Every maritime nation in the
world, except our own" he continued
''has appreciated this and the vital
Importance of the position of admit
raj, and they have taken steps to Sc
cure young, vigorous and highly quail
flied men. and to give them the neces-
sary experience to fit them for the
supreme command"
Late today the delegates were in
vited guests at an exhibition cavalry
drill at Fort Myer. In the evening at
the annual banquet they are to be
hosts to many prominent persons
among them Vice President Marshall.

FEAR VIOLENCE TODAY
IN PERTH AMB0Y STRIKE
Especial TO the Newark star.I


PERTH AMBOY, N. j., April H.
1t Is believed by the officials of the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany, whose employees are on strike,
that I. w. w. men are now secretly
working among the strikers. Several
hundred employees returned to work
yesterday. and when they left the
plant last night, it is said, they were
told they had better not go back
again. AS a result, only few went
in today.
The first inkling that 1. w. w. men
were present came last night when
the police were forced to break up
several street gatherings. The 500
strikers continue to hover about the
plant, and if they offer any violence
when the mill shifts change tonight
special deputies will be pressed. into
service.
