SEN. SMITH TO ASK PASSAGE
OF HIS COTTON TRADE BILL

Washington, March Ex-senator
Smith of South Carolina served notice
today that he would ask tomorrow for
the passage of his cotton grading bill.
His action followed a protest by Sen
ators Smith of Georgia and Overman
OF North Carolina, against the pre-
vailing method of cotton grading.
Senator Smith read quotations from
the New York Cotton exchange of
March II, when March middling sold
at 1854 and July for 11.77 He said
1t cost from FIVE to ten points to car
nv cotton from March to July ano
charged that it was only manipulation
of the grading of cotton enabled the
exchange to afford to sell July for less
than March.
This manipulation hurts both the
farmer and manufacturer" said Sena-
tor Smith of Georgia Yesterday the
exchange showed some appreciation OF
public sentiment by adopting govern
ment standards to become effective in
1915" said Senator Overman. What
we want to do is to pass the Smith
bill and make this grading effective at
once"

Armed RObber Gets
$3.50 from Hotel

Detroit, Mich, March 19.-An arm
ed robber held up w. H. Burns,
night clerk in the office of the Hotel
Metropole, nearly opposite the City
hall. early today, and compelled the
clerk to hand him $3.50. The robber
then leaped into a waiting automo-
bile, pressed a revolver against the
head of the driver and ordered him
to speed towards the suburbs. He
left the machine after three miles
from the downtown district and es-
capped.
The bandit as he left the automo-
bile said to the driver: Il just missed
a $4,000 job in Chicago, but this will
help to make up for it." In many re-
spects, say the police, the robbery
was similar to the one in the Briggs
House in Chicago yesterday.

MILK PRODUCERS
DEMAND INCREASE
FROM CONTRACTORS

Boston, March i9.-The New Eng
land Milk Producers Association today
served notice upon the milk contrac-
tors that they will expect an increase
of two cents in the price of each So
quart can of milk sold during the six
months beginning April /. In letter
to the contractors, Richard Pattee of
Laconia, n. H., secretary of the as
ISOLATION, said the price should aver
age not less than 33 cents a can for
the so-called middle zone with pro-
portionate prices for the other zones.
The producers have been receiving 40
cents a can for their milk during the
winter. Secretary Pattee said the sum-
mer price should be the same, but the
farmers would insist only on two
cent increase over the price paid last
summer, which was 81 cents. Should
the contractors prove unwilling to
meet the demand the secretary offered
on behalf of the association to submit
the matter to a committee of the
chamber of commerce for determine
ton of it's merits.

One of the suggestions made to
President Wilson lately contemplates
the sending CT commission of prom
inent Americans to investigate condi-
tons in Mexieoc. Unofficial reports
have had it that both Carranza and
Huerta would receive such u COM
mission. President Wilson is careful
fy considering this suggestion, said to
have heen made originally by Oscar
5. Straus, former ambassador to Tur
key and prominent in the cause of
world peace. The President would be
glad to send such commission if it
could assist the Mexican factions in
arriving at an agreement, but it is
believed he feels that actual peace
proposals must necessarily originate
with the Mexican factions, and that
unless the commission were invited to
go to Mexico, its errand would be
fruitless, mediation of the same sort
having previously been rejected by
both Mexican factions.

erners, only Senator Ramsdell of
Louisiana, Sheppard of Texas and Lea
of Tennessee voted for the resolution.
Senator Vardaman led a movement
among the friends of woman suffrage
in the South to repeal the 18th amend
ment 70 the constitution by which the
states are prohibited from denying
the right to Negroes to vote.
With the Negro question removed,
he said, he favored the granting of
suffrage to women. His proposal was
defeated by As to 10 and a proposition
by Senator Williams to give the ball.
lot to white women only was defeated
by A to 81.
The vote was preceded by a three-houF'
Kaleidoscope debate on the various
phases of woman suffrage. Senator Mar
tine of New Jersey was the only MEM
Der who stated he was opposed to woman
suffrage on principle. He thought par,
ticipation of women in politics had failed
to purify the ballot and it would be
sad day for both women and men when.
they were given the ballot universally.
The speeches of suffrage senators, he
added, had excited in his mind the wonD
der if they found objection to the SAY
Jour for not choosing six of the apostles
from among the women
Senator Gallinger declared it would be
crime to repeal the 18th amendment,
even if 1t were a blunder to have passed
it.
Senator Townsend insisted it was no.
blundar to have passed it and added it
was not necessary to do injustice to the
Negroes in order to do justice to the
women.
Senator Newlands declared he was in
favor of making this a white MANS
country so as to shut out the Japanese
as well as the Negro, but doubted the
propriety of refusing suffrage to women.

The President told the senator that he
was skating on thin ice" in circu-e
lating such conclusions after reading
them in some publication.
Discussing the matter with other call
ers, the President said his address to
Congress on repeal of the tolls clause
was written before the visit to Wash
ington of the British minister to Mexico,
Sir Lionel Garden, to whom Senator.
Jones had referred in his speech, and
that the canal controversy was not men
toned during the minister's conferences
at the White House.
Later in the day Senator Jones made
a statement to the Senate, asserting that
body, that he had referred to the con-
illusions as he had read them In news
paper and that it was due to the wish of
the President that he expressed to the.
Senate his fiat denial of the matter.

the President for information as to the
position of foreign governments in the
tolls Question will come up again tomor-

Majority to Be Small

While the President and Democratic
members in both houses who will
support his position are confident that
the repeal will pass, few have any idea
that the majority will be large. De-

inter-oceanie canals on a repeal bill

President Wilson today conferred

Rep. Hullings Pleads
For a United Stand

Mexico means war of exhaustion;
the moment our troops pass the from
tier the MeXieans Will drop their
quarrel and make common cause
against the hated Gringoes," declar-
ed Rep. Hullings of Pennsylvania,
Progressive today in the House. He
added it was the duty of congressman
to stand shoulder to shoulder in the
Mexican situation, and that he be-
lieved order would never be restored
in Mexico save by a strong man sup
ported by force superior to the fac
lions now warning the country and
there there was no such force in Mex
leo.
II believe the time must come, if
it has not already arrived he added,
when it will be the imperative duty
of this government to announce to
the world that present conditions in
Mexico must cease and that unless by
a given time the Mexicans themselves
shall have made pacific arrangements
and cease hcstilities, the United
States, in the interest of humanity
will undertake to restore peace and
good order"
"A strong man like Theodore Roose-
Welt" Rep. Hullings declared, would
have settled the difficulty and there
would have been no war. President
Wilson followed in Taft's footsteps
and instead of taking firm, positive
steps adopted what he called the
watchful. waiting policy"

DISAPPEARANCE OF BOY
IS STILL A MYSTERY

Philadelphia, March 19.-The mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance
Of 7-year-old Warren McCarrick is
today as complete as when the boy
was first missed from his home a
week ago. An almost ceaseless search
by his father, assisted by his friends,
Boy Scouts, and the entire police of
this city and the surrounding coun-
try has failed to reveal a single def
mite clue as to the missing boys
whereabouts.
Various theories are advanced to
account for the boys disappearance.
Those who believe he has been kid
mapped for ransom point to the fact
that while the child's father is not
wealthy, his grandmother, who was
much attached to him, is a property
owner.
