Plans of Senate Democratic leaders to
reduce the river and horbor bill by
simply looping from il a part equivalent
TO the proportion of the current fiscal
year which has expired may be blocked.
Senator Burton and other Republicans
who are against the pork barrel hold
that this will rot do. They say the bill
must be purged of some of the Ticious
projects in it or they will continue to
fight il.
President Wilson wants the bill re-
duced 10 some extent, but the Demo-
cratic leaders are convinced he Will not
veto 1t whether it is reduced or not
If the plan of Senator simmons goes
through, the bill will he cut down about
% per cent, representing that part Of
the fiscal year which has expired.
Protests against the bill are multiply

FIGURES ON COTTON
SHOW BIG SLUMP
Exports in August Only 21,210
Bales, Against 257,168 for
Month Last Year.

That the situation with the cotton
growers OF the South is serious. has
been verified by the data received at
the Census Bureau over the wire from
agents in the cotton growing belt. who
years crop
The number of bales of cotton ginncd
from the growth of 1914, prior to Sep
tcmber /. 1914 is 475 40. The number
OF bales ginned for the corresponding
date in 1913 was 799e9
The statistics in this report include
%56 round bales for 1914: $50 for 1913.
The number of sea-island bales includ-
cd is l75S for 1914 436 for 1915. The
cotton consumed during. July amounted
to 1922 bales; cotton on hand in manu-
featuring establishments July 81, was
@l4li bales. and In independent ware
houses 42t.2l6 bales. Corresponding sta
stistics for the year 1918 run about the
same until after July 81
Slump In Exports.
However. data on exports Of cotton
for the month Of August, now Just in
the hands OF the officials at the Bureau
Of Commerce, show the slump in cotton.
The number of bales OF cotton eN-
ported in August. 1919. was 2SI. .l6S. The
number OF bales tor the corresponding
month in 1914 is A.c1O
The shortage in the output OF GIN
ner!es. and the tremendous decrease in
the amount Of exported cotton, indi-
Gates that the twelve States in the
South where cotton is grown are facing
q situation that was not looked for
and for which they are unprepared.
That the Federal Government and the
Southern members OF Congress. in par
ticular. appreciate the gravity of the
Southern cotton situation, developing
from the closing of the cotton markets
abroad because of the European war, Is
given to methods of relief.
Senator Hoke Smith. a foremost ngure
In the conference of the members from
the Sou1cl called to discuss the problem,
declared last night that he and his COL
leagues were going to place two recon-
mendations before Congress in regard
to the Southern situation: that provision
should be made for an ample currency
durir/ the time OF stringency In cotton
sales. and that there should be some
policy adopted by which the cotton crop
for next year should be reduced one
half.
Plan To Reduce Crop.
Ample currency already has been as
sured by the agreement on the part of
the national banks to cash warehouse
receipts. While the banks are willing
tC give cash at the rate of and cents
a pound. for this years crop. they are
not willing to carry a Is, ,000. 900 bale crop
from next year. Along with the sccur-
ing OF cash through the liquidation Of
warehouse receipts. the Legislators deal
ing with the situation will see to 1t that
the cotton crop for next year Is reduced
One-third of what II was this year.
Several ways of doing this are under
advigement, hanging largely on opinions
which are expected from Southern l.g:s-
latures that are in session, 10 which the
matter has been presented.

S2S,399 VERDICT
IN FRAUD SUIT
Action Result of Alleged Mis-
representation of Tim
Der Tract.

A verdict of 1928, 399.17 in favor of
James T. Mount, of East Orange, and
against Joshua d. Loizeau and John
E. Dunn, of Plainfeld, was returned
by a jury in the Supreme Court Cir
cult yesterday afternoon. Although
the suit had taken eight days to try,
it required but two hours for the jury
to reach it's decision. Mount claimed
that on fraudulent representations by
the defendants. who are lumber deal
ers, he was led to buy $4,000 worth of
stock in the Gander River Lumber
and Pulp Company. The stock was
worthless, he charged, and sought to
recover by the suit.
The company owned 100000 acres of
timber land in Newfoundland, and the
defendants represented, ii is alleged,
that a large part of this was covered
with pine. According to government
foresters employed by Mr.. Mount there
was not a semblance of pine in the
whole tract.
The defense was that Mr.. Mount in
vestigated fully before buying the
stock and was running no greater risk
than the other stockholders who real
ly believed that the land was good
lumber land. Jerome ID. Gedney, of
Orange. represented Mount.
