COTTON FUTURES
DELAY EXPECTED
Disagreement Seems to Insure
Provisions Postponement
to Next Session.
BOTH BODIES OBDURATE
Neither Senate Nor House Inclined
to Yield to Respective
Provisions.

There is every reason to believe that
the prospect for legislation taxing cot
ton futures has disappeared for the pres
ent session of Congress, and that when
the UnderwoOd-S tariff bill goes
to the President this week it will be si-
lent on the subject
Chairman Simmons stated yesterday
that the Senate. in his opinion, would not
accept the substitute. known as the
Smith-Lever proposal. Representative
Underwood brought the matter before thu
House yesterday by introducing a bill
embodying the features of the Smith
Lever substitute. Mr. Underwood ex-
planned that he took this step in order
to have the subjeCt-matter before the
House of Representatives. Tomorrow he
will offer il as a substitute for the Clarke
amendment.
II looks as if the House would adopt
it and instruct its conferees to insist on
the disagreement, to ask for a further
conference and urge that the Clarke
amendment be eliminated from the tariff
bill and the substitute adopted. That tha
Senate will reject this proposal and that
the conference committee will then re-
port in favor of postponing the whole
matter until the regular session of Con-
gress appears reasonably certain.
Outlook Not Good.
senator clarke OF Arkansas, author or
the amendment which has caused all
the trouble, admitted yesterday that tho
outlook for any legislation on the sub
ject in the tariff bill is not good. and in
timated that the subject was one OF
such Importance that it probably ought
to be considered in a separate measure.
II is believed that he has assuranceS
from the Democratic leaders that tho
matter will be considered and. IL possi-
BILE. be disposed of at the regular ses-
sion OF Congress, beginning In Decem-
Der.
Late yesterday afternoon Chairman
Simmons intimated very strongly that
the ,cotton-futures legislation practically
was eliminated.
'T do not believe the Democratic Sen
ators will hold another caucus on this
matter" said Mr. Simmons. I'VE al
ready have cauCused twice on this mat
ter. The vote in the Senate caucus in
favor OF the proposed substitute, which
is to be taken up in the House, was
small. Even a majority of the Southern
Senators voted against it. I do not he
lieve that the sentiment of the Demo
cratic Senators on the matter has
changed. When the House adopts the
substitute, as il probably will do. and
it comes to the Senate the Senate prob
ably will reject it, and the result, l as
sumo. will be no legislation for this
session

Executive Impeaehed Because He
Wouldn't Be Bossed, Roosevelt
Tells Rochester Audience.

Rochester. y. Y. Sept. Elm his ad-
dress before the Progressive State con-
vention today. Col. Roosevelt declared
that the elections throughout New
York State this fall the dominant con-
cern of our people should be to prevent
Tammany from obtaining complete con-
troll os the state" and that to this the
lesser issues must give way.
He argued at length that the present
predicament in which the State finds its
public affairs is due to the failure of
the people to elect last fall Governor
and Legislature pledged to the carrying
out Of progressive policies.
This year he said. there are four
matters Of supreme political Importance
for decision before the people of this
Commonwealth. The first the election
of an assembl'. stands by itself The
other three are: First. the attempted
impeachment OF the Senate: second. cleo
tion in the great city of New York, and
the third. the election of two judges of
the Court of Appeals. AS to each of
these ur matters the overthrow of
Tammany is the chief issue
Col. Roosevelt continued: AT this mo-
ment the worst menace to all our State
is Tammany Hall
Prnisc for Mitchell.
In New York City. We Progressives
are doing all that we can to elect nom
partisan ticket, headed by truly pro-
gressive Democrat, a tried and excellent
public official, Mr.. John Purroy Mitchell,
so as to keep the municipal government
out of the control Of Tammany Hall and
make it an instrument not only for Sc
curing honesty in municipal affairs. but
for bettering the living and working con-
ditions of the men and women who toll
with their hands.
In the same fashion We battle against
Tammany Hall in the GOvernorship fight
because Tammany Hall is attacking the
Governor not for what he may have done
before election. but because since cleo
ton he has stood up for honesty and the
rights of the people. I wish to call the
attention of conservatives who have
professed such horror of the progressive
doctrine of the popular recall to just
W hat has been done by Tammany in the
absence of the popular recall. 1 ask you
to consider whether you prefer the recall
exercised by Mr.. Murphy at the end of a
telephone.
Only Nominal Reason.
II am not now discussing the merits
of the charges nor the evidence against
Gov SulZer. / am not now speaking of
any matter pending before the Court of
Impeachment, nor Of the allegations that
will be tried by the Court of Impeacfr-
ment. These allegations afford only the
nominal reason for his impeachment All
the matters now produced before that
court were well known to the leaders of
Tammany Hall at the time they were
calling Gov. Sulzer a second Andrew
jackson. They remained silent until the
Governor refused to take his orders from
the boss Of Tammany Hall. The real rea-
sons for the Governors impeachment

may not come before the body now trying
him. But these real reasons, these real
charges, must be passed upon by the peo-
pie. No intelligent or honest man doubts
that the attack upon the Governor has
been made not because Of anything he
did during the campaign or before he
took office. but because through his Of
ficials he hunted down corruption after
he took office. and because he champiOned
the cause of popular government and the
rights of the people against the mandate
of Tammany Hail.

WARSHIp TO MEXICO.
GtNBOAT WHEELING DISPATCH
ED TO PROTECT AMERICANS.
Trouble i'm Vera Cruz and Southern
Part of Republic Declared to be
Dangerous.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Alarmed for
the safety Of Americans who are in
jeopardy on account of widespread
lawlessness by Mexican rebels in Vera
Cruz State and throughout southern
Mexico, the state department again
mas called upon the navy to protect
American interests in the republic.
Tonight the gunboat Wheeling is
steaming from Tampa. for Vera Cruz,
where Americans are said to face a
graver crisis than that relieved by the
cruiser Des Moines.
The request Of the state de-
partment to the navy came after the
receipt Of a long series Of official re-
ports from Ambassador Wilson and
consuls in southern Mexican cities. all
rejecting a condition OF anarchy, es-
pecially in the State Of Santa Cruz,
where federal authorities face the
problem Of restoring civil order with
a disorganized army. Guerilla war
fare. brigandage. sacking OF ranches
and villages and other desperate
crimes place Americans and other
foreign residents in a state Of con-
stant danger and the latest advices to
the state department express fear OF
an even worse outbreak.
When the Wheeling arrives in Vera
Cruz harbor Americans and other for
eigners will be taken aboard and Off
cials express the hope that her dis
play Of armament may have the same
moral effect that followed the ar
rival Of the Des Moines a few months
ago.
Today's action by the state depart
ment indicates that the administra-
ton policy Of non-intervention will be
maintained to the close Of President
Tafts term Of office While the pres
ent administration will endeavor to
take no action which will embarrass
the succeeding regime, it is taken for
granted that to the very end aggres-
sive action will be restored to If dis
turbed conditions menace the safety
Of American citizens.
