REVIVAL Of
SHIP PURCHASE.
LEGISLATION
McAOoo WILL AGAIN SUPPORT
BILL PRESIDENT MAY DECIDE
TO URGE ALTERATION OF NAVi-
CATION LAWS.

Washington, Oct. 11.-RevivaI of
the ship purchase legislation which
furnished the occasion for long fill
buster on the part of republican mem
bers of the senate and seven demo-
cratic members last session is. fore
cast in official circles. with the state
ment that President Wilson has not
committed himself on the matter
Secretary McAdoo is known to still
be very much in favor of the legisla-
tion and will urge its passage this
winter. Those who have made limit
ed inquiry are convinced that the sec
retary is impressed that there is
greater need now for American ships
than ever before.
Whether the president can be won
wholly to the plan remains to be seen.
There are many who believe that in
place of asking the government to
aid in building up an American mer-
chant marine, the White house will
look more with favor upon alteration
of the navigation laws so as to en-
courage the building of an American
marine by private capital. This idea
was before the administration lead
ers last year, and is said to have
been urged at the White House by
practical shipping men since the ad-
iournment of congress. The emer-
gency for the legislation, so earnestly
put forward last spring, the leaders
have been told, has passed.
Severely Excoriated.
When the seven democratic mem
bers of the senate deserted the ad-
ministration's program in the spring
and were instrumental in bringing
the legislation to virtual defeat, they
were severely eXcoriated by members
of the majority. Since the adjourn
ment. however, it is known that other
democratic leaders have couns2le1
against reviving the issue for the un-
wholesome effect it is likely to have
on the approaching campaign. The
position is not taken in an admission
that the policy of last spring was
faulty; on the contrary, the pres.
dents proposal under terms of the
bill. are still believed salutary, nnt
this congress is to be required to zig
for additional revenue, and with the
outlay of cash for necessities now

governments own estimate of the

low as to be received with some
skepticism by the trade, as it indi-
Gates a smaller crop than any since
1909. However this is the highest
and best authority that we have and
the census bureaus reports are ac-
cepted throughout the world; even
if they are not infallibe they go
long way toward determining the sen
timent of the cotton trade. The main
fact stands out that we have very
short crop this year, so short in fact
that were the demand of normal pro
portions it would amount almost to a
calamity. The possibility Of such a
situation was suggested in these ad-
vices under date of April 3, at which
time, in discussing acreage curtail-
ment, we said: at Is a question If
a big curtailment in acreage would
prove an unmiXed blessing. 1t is
just possible that we may have an
unpropitious growing season, with a
greatly reduced yield per acre, As
suming, then, that the cotton area
will not be large, the result might
be a crop so small as to seriously
embarrass the entire cotton industry"
OF course it is only fair to say that
there will not be the usual demand
for our cotton this year owing to war
conditions. Ellison, the Liverpool sta
tistician, in a recent estimate claims
that the consumption Of American

100000 baies. Although these figures
are excessively low, and in some
quarters are ridiculed, they certainly
have some basis in fact, for, unless
hostilities cease, Germany and Aus
tria will not be able to get any Of
our cotton and these two countries
combined usually consume annually
about two million bales. According
to the figures furnished by the inter
national federation of eastern spin
ners. the worlds consumption of Am
erican cotton in 1913 amounted to 49,
100000 bales and 13,957,00O bales in
1912, so it is possible that Ellison
figures are not so far out Of the way
after all. 1t is the factor OF demand
which should be the controlling in
fuence from now on. The production
figures are practically settled. An
early frost might somewhat further
curtail the yield, but as little in the
way of top crop is indicated a late
frost would probably add only a
small amount to the final total. 1t
remains, then, to >be seen how much
cotton our domestic spinners are will
ing to buy and to what extent Liver
pool will feel the necessity of adding
to their already large stock of raw
material.

VILLA ISSUES
STATEMENT TO
DEPARTMENT
BECAUSE OF CARRANZA RECoGNl-
TION HE WILL NO LONGER BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR LIVES AND
PROPERTY OF FOREIGNERS.

Ell Paso, Oct. 11.-General Villa S
formal declaration to Geo. {. Caroth-
ers. special agent of the state depart
ment at Washington, that because OF
the recognition of the Carranza gov
ernment he would not hold himself re-
sponsible for the safety of the lives
and property of foreigners created
little apprehension here today of i'm
mediate danger to foreigners.
American Consul Thomas ID. Ed
wards of Juarez, declared that there
were few foreigners now in Villa ter
ritory, the largest body being in the
Mormon colony district of Casas Gran
des. 1t was true, he said, that about
100 employees of mining companies
at Parral on the branch line of the
railroad from Jiminez, had refused to
obey the state departments advice
respecting their remaining, but he did
not believe they were in any danger.
Half a dozen foreigners arrived from
Chihuahua City today. They declared
they came only on business, and eX-
pected to return.
Fear of Uprising Subsidies
Fear of an uprising at Juarez after
the departure Of General Villa last
night for Casas Grandes has subsided.
Today there was the usual large crowd
at the bull fight and tonight the town
has the usual quota of foreign visitors.
The saloons, reopened after the de-
parture of Villa, were operating, and
the gambling halls were filled.
General Villa refused to allow news
paper men to accompany him on his
trip last night to Casas Grandes. The
refusal was based upon alleged new
regulations by which the military com
manders of towns under Villa control
would issue the passports.
From a military source it was learn
ed that General Villa had declared to
Mr.. Carothers that the United States
and other foreign nations could not
now hold him responsible for what
happened to their nationals in "his'
territory, and while he and his bands
would commit no depredations, they
would not attempt to stay the opera
tions of bandits that might spring up,
Status at Juarez Unchanged.
"The United States and foreign ma
tions having recognized Carranza must
look to him for protection" he was
quoted as saying.
The status of Juarez as a port of en-
try has not been changed, it is said
here.
General Pershing, commanding at
Ft. Bliss, declared tonight that he had
received no report bearing upon the
situation.
Villa government officials and the
garrison are in command at Juarez and
there is thought to be sufficient troops
there to maintain order.
Reports from the interior of north
ern Mexico tonight indicated that there
had been no attempt at reprisals on
foreigners because of the Pan-Ameri.
can decision to recognize the Carran-

The news was telegraphed to Chi
huahua and other interior points and

son now to express the hope tnat
the issue will not be revived.
There was a sharp division of sel-
tlment on the shipping bill during
the last session. but the opposition
yielded its personal views in the in
terest OF party harmony. A number
of the Texas members were against
the government entering the ship b@s-
mess as they termed 1t, on the ground
that they smacked too much OF the
government ownership idea as a
general proposition There was no
hint in the administrations program
that such was to be the ultimate oh
iect, but support was urged solely
upon the ground of plain necessity
for relief to American commerce.
Desire No Changes.
The shipping interests-those inter
ests alleged to be largely in contro.
OF the shipping faciities-.t is ven
tured, are promoting the idea tha'
the issue ought to be dropped, thus
leaving it to enjoy the fruits of the
situation as it exists. Likewise these
interests oppose any alteration in the
navigation laws that woull mean
more for the shipper and curtail the
ship owners opportunity. If Pres
dent Wilson deems it advisable to
make over certain of the navigation
laws, he will find hearty support from
the Texas delegation which has long
stood for a more liberal regulation,
particularly for cOastwise trade, and
to make it possible for the southern
buyer to obtain the advantage in
transportation charges which, it is
patent is denied today.
The coastwise feature has been
urged by Representative Rufus Hardy,
the Texas member on the house CON
mittee on merchant marine ana
fisheries, and supported by Others Of
the delegation. He would have it so
that the coastwise trade could freely
be participated in by foreign vessels
as well as those operating under the
American flag, so that after unload
ing in the east, boat could carry
merchandise consigned to southern
buyers. and reload in the south for
an oversea trip. AS it is, such a
craft must carry ballast on the down
trip or the up trip, as the case may
be. Were it permitted to compete
with the existing trade lines, Nj.
Hardys contention has been, trans
portation would be cheapened to the
merchant.
May Revise Seamen's Act
In the program, it is asserted the
La Toilette seamen's act of last win
fer. which has been seized as an
excuse for many vessels leaving the
American entry, will undergo revis-
ion. The White House has requested
legal opinions on some OF the acts
salient features, but there is no dis
position, the statement is, to aban-
don these principles, unless it should
develop that they were actually iniiN-
ical. This is said to be the view OF
Secretary Redfeld of the commerce
department, and who has consistently
supported Secretary McAdoo in the
belief that the ship will oppose total
abandonment of the seamen's act.
