 trality. he believes the position of the United States will be most secure in the present emergency and less likely to leave Ill effects after the war Is over.
 On the side of the bankers, how ever, the argument advanced is that the floating of loans is a purely com. mercial transaction in which the gov ernment is not obligated to interfere The bankers do not desire government aid or guarantee, but merely the as surance that their action would not be regarded as a violation of neutral ity.
 Gold, like coal or any other war sup ply, has been regarded as contraband on the high seas and subject to seiz- ure. So, if the American government permitted the floatatioa of a loan to France. American bankers would send their hundreds of millions across the seas subject to capture by Ger many or Austrian ships and could eX- poet help from the American govern ment in securing reimbursement for any losses sustained.
 The entire question will he discuss cd at tomorrow's cabinet meeting, but those in close toucr with Presi- dent Wilson predicted tonight that the American government would try to discourage the floating of loans to France. Austria or any of the other belligerents.
 J. P. Morgan arrived here tonight to attend conference tomorrow with President Wi ilson and Secretary Me Adoo of bankers and business men to devise means for the movement of crops to Europe It could not be learned whether he will discuss with officials the subject of foreign loans while in the capital.

Southern Cotton Congress Outlines a Plan to Care for the Cotton Crop During the War.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The problem of saving the south's cotton crop in the face of the closing of European cotton markets by war was taken up today by a Southern Cotton Congress committee, which met here in special session. Delegates representing the cotton states organized. listened to members of congress who outlined leg islatiye plans for meeting the crisis. discussed the situation and named committees to thresh out plan for saving the 13.500.O00 bales which will soon be harvested
 Representative Lever of South Caro-. lima, and Senator FIoke Smith of Geor- gia, who have had charge of the leg islatiye end of the movement to pro vide federal aid to meet the situation, addressed the congress. They, with Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, formu- lated the scheme which will probably he put through It contemplates the establishment of standard cotton grades, government licensed cotton warehouses and the issue of suffi- cient emergency currency, about $200.- 000 to be loaned on cotton to enable the south to hold the cash surplus over until market conditions become more nearly normal.
 Many plans for meeting the situa. tion were proposed by delegates. They ranged from proposals that the gov ernment valorize cotton or issue cur rency against it. to the destruction of half the crop to maintain the price. All were referred to commit. tees.
 A resolution was adopted endorsing the amendments to the emergency currency act proposed by Senator Ransdell which would make em~ gency currency available on ware house receipts for cotton as security Senator RansdelI told the congress that although the treasury depart ment had decided such receipts would be proper security under the present law. he was anxious to make sure of 1t.

It remains to be considered whether the govern ment through the treasury acting under the Aidrich-Vreeland act, CT whether the federal reserve board can furnish relief.

]. p. Morgan & Go. Proposes to Make a Large Loan to France if Government is Willing.

New York, Aug. 13-The feature of the day in financial circles was further division in banking interests respecting methods to bring about resumption of foreign business. Ad- yocates Of the amendment to the national bank act permitting the use of bank notes as reserves are out numbered by its opponents. The fact that the clearing honse committee has declined to consider such an eX. pedient seems to have given the proposition its quietus.
 On the other hand opponents Of the proposition offer no solution looking to remova, of the many obstacles now in the way A defi- mite stand on this momentous ques- tion soon will have to be taken. lnae- much as warrants or notes of the city Of New York, payable in gold and largely held abroad, mature Spptem- Der l.
 Another interesting development which may go far towards solving this and other problems was con. tained in the announcement that J.. F. Morgan X O. have sounded the federal government regarding the ad. visibility of large loan to France. No information on this subject was obtainable at the offices of the bankers and 1t could not be ascer. tained what prospects there were that the loan would be placed
 No information could be obtained from the principal internatalonai banking houses regarding a loan to Austria, negotiations for which it was announced at Washington were under way
 Call loans were marked up to & per cent in some instances today but most renewals were at 6 per cent.
 Sight drafts on London declined 49S as against 515 a few days ago. Considerable business was done at this lower rate and the London mar. Ret as a whole was easier.

KILLING NEAR COWARDS.
Trouble Over Line Ditch Results in
Fatal Shooting.

Saturday night about 10 O'Clock
about two miles above Cowards in
Florence county, Herbert Evans, Sam
Evans and Jesse Evans, all brothers,
and John B. Miles, Troy Miles and
Rishoff Higgins were filling up a line
ditch between the Evanses and John
B. Hicks. John B. Hicks, upon be-
ing informed that these men were at
work filing up the ditch, it is said,
Immediately got his shot gun from
his residence and went to the spot
where the men were working and, it
is alleged, without a word, shot into
the crowd and wounded Sam Evans
and Troy Miles.
From the information gathered it
seems that either one of the Evans
brothers, Miles or Higgins at once
opened fire on John B. Hicks and
fatally wounded him, Hicks exclaim'
ine, Don't shoot any more; you have
killed me; take me home" death re-
sulting Immediately. The trouble, it
Is said, arose about the line ditch be-
tween Hicks and the Evans boys,
which has been standing for years,
and it appears that both sides were
we'll armed and ready to kill.

Longer Life.
In calling up his resolution to pro-
hibit smoking during the executive
sessions of the Senate, in the cloak
rooms, Senator Tillman Monday after
noon made explanatory comment
which interested and amused the gal
leries to such an extent that the vice
president had to check their applause
The resolution was adopted almost
unanimously without roll call.
The Senator addressed his col.
leagues for perhaps fifteen minutes
explaining that previous to his i'll.
ness four years ag he smell Of to,
bacco had not affected his health, but
that ever since then he had been un'
able to endure it. Among other
things he said:
"a majority of the Senators are
smokers, and unfortunately, viciou:
habit has so mastered them that they
are nervous and miserable when they
do not get the nicotine poison which
soothes their nerves. I have founc
my Democratic colleagues so intent
on gratifying their feverish desire te
smoke that they feel compelled tt

have almost had to leave or sit by al

So I am beset with the danger OF be

Bennett, who lives near there Sunday

on account Of school boy quarrel.
When the shooting occurred, it ap-
pears that Mr.. Bennett was attempt
ing to take from Mr.. Griffin the pistol
which Mr.. Bennett alleged belonged
to him. 1t appeared that Mr.. Bennett
sought to use knife, and there are
several gashes in the clothing OF Mr..
Griffin. Doctors attending Mr.. Ben

his recovery, five bullets entering his
body, some of which punctured the
abdomen and lungs.

NATION NOT INVOLVED
NO VIOLATION OF SOVEREIGNTY
IN MEXICAN TRIP.
As the Seizure Of Vergara's Body
Was Accomplished by Individuals,
e. s. Does Nothing.

Comprehensive reports from Briga-
dier-General Bliss and American Con-
sui Garrett, at Laredo, received at
the war and state departments Tues
day cleared up the mystery which
had surrounded the delivery on
American rancher, Clemente Vergara.
The reports completely satisfied the
officials that no act has been COM
mitted by national or state agents in
violation of Mexican sovereignty, and
that il there were any offense in the
removal of the body from Mexico, it
was committe by individuals, so the
matter could not be made an inter-
national issue.
Secretary Bryan stated that he
would not undertake to prosecute
the persons who obtained the body,
even if he knew their identity, which
he did not, beyond the fact, establish
ed by General Bliss report that they
were civilians and probably Mexicans.
The finding of the body Of Vergara
has had the result Of advancing the
prosecution Of the claim against the
Huerta government for reparation,
and Secretary Bryan transmitted the
telegraphic report from Consul Gar
rett to Charge O'Shaughnessy in the
City Of Mexico.
| It is understood that the primary
purpose of this is to disprove the
original allegation of the Mexican
federal commander at Neuvo Laredo
that Vergara had made his escape
from captivity and joined the Consti.
tutionalists. With the body in evil
dence, as soon as further facts as to
the character Of Vergara's fatal
wounds are developed by the investi'
cation Gov. Colquitt Is making, Mr.
o'Shaughnessy will be prepared te
call upon General Huerta to redeem
his promise to punish the federal Of
fcers who killed Vergara.
/ Secretary Garrison received from
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, command
ing the American border forces, the
following report on the Vergara case
by Capt. H. P. Howard, Of the Four
teenth United States cavalry:
Investigation shows Vergara wa:
