President Harrison of South Points out
Change Which War Will Require.

Washington, Oct. S.-"There is a
silver lining to the cloud which hangs
over the market for cotton and cot
ton-seed products" said President
Harrison of Southern Railway COM
pany today. "One of the great ad-
vantages of the South for the produc-
ton of beef and for the dairy industry
Is In the use OF cOttOn-seed meal and
hulls as parts Of q balanced ration
for dairy cows and for fattening cat
tie for market. Under normal condi-
tions a very large proportion Of the
cOttOn-seed meal and hulls produced
In the South Is expOrted-.Germany,
Belgium and Holland being particul-
arly large users of these products.
rhe war in Europe will greatly dimin-
ish exports to these countries and as
result prices Of both meal and hulls
are now abnormally low.
This condition offers the Southern
farmer an opportunity to recoup him.
self for some part Of his loss due to
the low prices paid for cotton and cot
ton-seed. BY feeding meal and hulls
in proper proportion with other feeds
to dairy and beef cattle. he can secure
n direct profit from these cattle and at
the same time have a supply of man
ure for building up the productivity of
his farm.
1T has long been apparent that the
weakest point in agriculture in the
cotton belt has been the neglect Of live
stock. The farmers of that region
have an unusual opportunity. If they
are to make the most Of it, as long
as present conditions continue. there
should be no shipments of cattle from
the cotton belt Of the South to other
localities either for feeding or for
dairy purposes and many farmers may
find 1t profitable to buy beef or dairy
cattle in other parts of the United
States"

Fatally Stabbed in

st. Petersburg, Russia, July ID
Details reached here to-day in a dis

fatal attack on the Mystic Lay Monk
Gregory Rasputin, whose influence
over the emperor is said to be very
great.
Rasputin, who has been one of the
most prominent figures in Russia In
recent years was visiting his native
village, Pokrovsky, in the province of
Tonolsk, Siberia, when a woman, a
stranger to the locality, approached
him pretending to be a beggar After
accosting him she stabbed him in the
abdomen with a long military dirk
The assailant was arrested and con-
fessed she had waited two weeks fol
the opportunity. She said she had
decided to kill the monk because he
was a false prophet and was leading
everything in Russia astray.
Doctors who examined the monks
wound declared it was likely to prove
fatal.

Notice of Annual Demon
stration
BY dssoeFaJe6 rress

Belfast, July 13.-The insistent de-
mand of the Protestant portion of the
province of Ulster for exclusion from
the operations of the Irish home rule
bill lent added interest to to-day's cele-
bration of the anniversary of the
Battle of the Boyne. The celebration
was carried out with great enthusiasm.
Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Union
ist leader, rode at the head of some
5000 Orangemen, accompanied by the
usal fife and drum bands and inluding
sprinkling of brethren from the
United STATES and the British colonies.
They marched through the city of
Belfast to Drumberg, where a, great
open-air meeting was addressed by Sir
Edward and other leaders.
The Nationalist quarter of Belfast
was carefully avoided by the demon
strants and on no occasion during the
procession did the rival factions come
into contact. So little did the authori-
ties expect trouble that they depended
entirely on the local police force to
keep order, but all the military were
confined to barracks as is usually the
case during political demonstrations

HUERTA WILL TURN.
BUSINESS OVER To
CARBAJAL AND QUIT
Carranza Announces Unw;llingness
to Deal With Federal Leaders
Successor
LITTLE FIGHTING EXPECTED
Carbajal Is Now Chief Justice of
Mexico's Supreme Court;
Was Elected Recently
LITTLE FIGHTING EXPECTED
BY Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., July 13.-Mexico
City was looked to to-day as the place
where the next big scene in the Mexi-
can situation would be staged. With
Huerta about to quit and turn over
his affairs to his new foreign minis
ter, francisco Carbajal, hope was eX-
pressed that u way might be found
peacefully to transfer the government
to the Constitutionalists and avert
military conquest of the capital by
their triumphant forces.
Carranza has announced his un-
Willingness to deal with Carbajal. re-
garding him as the creation of Huerta.
Nevertheless it has been suggested
that parleys fofr the quick transition
OF power might take place IL Car
bajal appeared in the role of repre-
sentative of a faction, rather than as
provisional head of a government
which the Constitutonalists refuse to
recognize. CarranZa, it was declared,
intended to follow the plan of Guada-
lupe." which provides fofr military
occupation of the capital. However,
several European and South American
nations, 1t was said, might frown on
such course. They regard with ap-
prehension the possibility of fighting
in Mexico City and forceful resump-
guarantee to the populace. 1t has
been strongly intimated that If Car
rama, after Huerta's elimination,
should insist upon his original pro-
gram, disapproval would be manifest
ed by several nations. They might
refuse to recognize the Constitution
alist leader unless he showed a dispo-
sition to give some quarter.
HostiIities Near End
Indications were not lacking, how
ever, that a way might be found for
the transfer of power without much
further fighting. The impression pre-
vailed widely in Washington that hos
tilities in Mexico were near an end.
Huerta, 1t was believed, might quit
Chapultepec some day this week. Au-
tomatically the new foreign minister,
Francisco Carbajar, would assume the
role of provisional president.
Carbaial is a man of law. He is less
than so years old. OF an academic
temperament, he. never has served
in the army. He came into interna-
tional prominence as the envoy of Diaz
at the Juarez peace conference in 1911
after the Madero revolution.
A few weeks ago he was elected
chief justice of the republics Supreme
Court after serving several years as
associate Justice. He received his edu-
cation in Mexico. He is said to be of
a conciliatory disposition, anxious for
the restoration of order and not likely
to elect to resist with an army the
approach of the Constitutionalists.
