HIGH PRICES
OF lutte AND BACC|NC
Secretary RedfieId Says.Amer-
lean Companies Compete
But Little.

The high price of raw jute and the
absolute control of the price of cotton
bagging in the United States by the
American Manufacturing Company and
the Ludlow Manufacturing Association
are the leading causes assigned by the
Secretary of Commerce to the Senate
today as the cause of the tremendous
increase in the price of cotton bagging
in late years. particularly the last year.
Secretary Redfield reported that dealers
are of the opinion that on account of
great demand Cor cotton bagging prices
will go even higher than at present
Control of Prices.
The Secretary pointed out i'm reporting
on the control of prices by the two big
cotton bagging manufacturers that the
two companies opened the market at
about the same day each year at about
the same figure, and any advance or de-
cline in price comes at about the same
time.
Each year, the Secretary reports. these
two companies have been opening the
market later and later. AS a result deal
ers stated they We're afraid to import be-
lean manufacturers might occasion them
great loss. The Secretary assigns this
late opening as cause of high prices.
Scarcity of cotton ties, large cotton
crops, bagging held in warehouses and
smaller .importations of bagging were
given as contributing causes of high
prices.
Competition Not Keen.
Competition between the American
Manufacturing Company and the Lud-
low associates does not seem to be very
keen says the Secretary. In some
localities one company does practically
all the business, while the other seems
to make no especial effort to push It's
trade"
A marked shortage in cotton ties was
assigned as the principal cause of the
high price. The failure of two COM
panies to turn out any ties this year
had been a factor in the shortage, the
Secretary said.
He reported that one Independent
manufacturer said that the practice
of the Carnegie Steel Company opening
the market late in the season at the
same time the American Manufacturing
Company names the price on bagging
had much to do with the shortage.

View of the Commentators.

In putting outside the pale the gov
eminent Of President Huerta and who
ever may come after as result of the Oc-
tober elections these commentators can
see only as the logic Of the situation that
announcement is being given by the
United States to the insurrectionary ele-
ments. Whether such encouragement will
go as far as recognition Of belligerency
Is development which they await with
interest. According to the declarations of
the United States government however.
there is no way for the present de facto
government to square to the demands OF
che United States with hopes of restora-
ton OF diplomatic relations. The Huerta
government and its heirs must go out of
power and be succeeded by a government
that will wrest from II the administration
of affairs-as far as can be figured out
from the attitude OF the United States
before the United States will have any
official dealings with Mexico.
THE President would not feel Justified. -

Hannis Taylor Disagrees
With the Administration

Hannis Taylor. American minister to
Spain in the Cleveland administration,
and known as a writer on International
law. is strongly of the opinion that events
in Mexico are rapidly driving the United
States TO the brink of a situation almost
identical with that which brought about
the war with Spain. Mr.. Taylor. while
supporting President Wilson and Mr..
Bryan In other things. takes sharp Issue
with the advance announcement that there
can be no recognition of the Mexican cleo
ton to be held October 20. He believes
that only through encouragement OF that
election and recognition of the resulting
government can the United States escape
armed intervention. Mr. Taylor said:
Il desire to express cordial sympathy
with the policy of non -intervention Of the
present administration. That policy nat
uraly recalls like policy maintained by
President Cleveland during the war for
Independence in Cuba when 1t was my
fortune To be on duty at Madrid. During
that exciting period. when my private

the East Room to the strains Of the
famous Lohengrin wedding march,
played by the Marine Band. Last the
bride was to enter, leaning on the arm
Of the President, and preceded by the
maid of honor. The bride was to
carry a bouquet of lilies Of the valley,
while the bridesmaids were to carry
pink roses toned in with their pink
dresses.
AS the bride and her father reached
the altar the President was to pause
while the groom was to step forward
and lead the bride up to the low steps
to the broad dias where the entire
bridal party was to stand, the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Wilson standing at the
base of the platform.
The Rev. Mr.. Beach was to read the
wedding service from the Book Of
Common Prayer and Immediately af-
ter the ceremony, the bridal party was
to proceed to the Blue Room to re-
ceive the guests, with the President
and Mrs. Wilson standing with the
bride and groom. Then the bridal
party was to enter the private dining
room, where the table with its big
cake was decorated with pink roses.
Refreshments for the guests were
to be served in the State Dining Room.
This room is lighted by silver chan
deliers and eight silver electric side
lights. 1t is furnished with chairs Of
mahogany, upholstered in dark green
tapestry. Three large mahogany con-
sole tables with large carved eagles
for supports were to be used for serv-
ing.
The Blue Room, the scene of the re-
ception after the wedding, is historic
for the many events that have taken
place in it, chief among which was the
wedding of President Cleveland. Ex-
the room is little changed since then
Through the corridors hung with the
pictures of Presidents and their wives
the wedding guests were to promenade
after the reception while the Marine
Band rendered selections, and by 6
O'Clock the bride and groom expected
to be speeding away on their honey
moon. They intend to travel
for about month, getting
into their new home at Will
Jamestown, Mass, early in January.
Washington society expects, however,
to see them back for the New Years
reception at the White House, though
the couple have not made known their
plans to anyone except the members
of the family circle.

DRESSES OF BRIDE
And BRIDESMAIDS
MISS JESSIE WILSON WILL WEAR
PURE WHITE SATIN WITH
DECIDED SHEEN.
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, Nov. 25.-Just what
the bride and bridesmaids will wear
at the White House wedding of today
has been carefully guarded until this
event itself takes place, but the gen
eral character of the bridal gowns
and toilettes has become pretty we'll
known.
Pure white satin of a soft weave but
with a decided sheen is the material
of the bridal gown and real lace and
orange blossoms adorn it. The mode
is that of the best designers of the
day and a slim effect is secured al
though the satin is draped on the
skirt. The outline of the round neck
is marked by embroidery which ex-
tends down one side of the skirt. The
court train is quite long and narrow
and is hemmed across the square edge.
The lace appears on the corsage and
makes fluffy frill to the elbow
sleeves.
The bridal veil will be arranged in
the present fancy for the cap effect,
the lace being nearest the face and
orange blossoms giving the conven-
tional touch to the couture.
The entire gown, it is further said,
will express the brides taste in the
selection of her trousseau which is of
fashionable materials and made on
