MANNING ADVISES
STORING COTTON
Warns Growers Against Country Dam
age and Fire Less on Their
Staple.
The State.

The State.
Governor Manning said Saturday IN
reference to the warehousing and mar
keting of cotton:
Recently we have seen depres-
sion in the price of cotton, which,
from our information, both as to the
size and demand for the crop, is, in
my judgment, unwarranted. 1t is
possible that this slump was caused
by resaon of the fact that large
number of sellers placed their crop
on the market, and for the time being
the supply was greater than the de-
mand. 1t is therefore of the utmost
importance that we market the crop
slowly and gradually in order to main
tain a higher scale of value and pre-
vent another such depression in
price.
az fully realize of course that
debts are due and must be paid, and
in order to meet these obligations, our
farmers must realize ready cash. IN
order, therefore, for those who have
cotton on hand to market it slowly
and gradually, and at the same time
meet their pressing obligations, /
would suggest that the resources OBJ
tainable through the federal reserve
banks are ample to enable the farmer
to hold his cotton and make short
term loans on same at reasonable
rates of interest, so as to hold the cot
ton off the market until an advance in
price takes place sufficient to make
it profitable to the farmer.
"It is necessary, in order to secure
loans from the federal reserve banks,
that the cotton be properly ware
housed and insured. In my judg-
ment, it is necessary to properly
warehouse and insure the cotton,
whether money is borrowed Or not.
I would. therefore, urge our people
not to allow their cotton to be ex-
posed to the weather and the dangers
from fire. especially at this season
of the year We have made a short
crop, and it is OF great importance
that it be protected in every way
possible. We must realize the full
value of this crop. This we can do
if we will take advantage of the op-
portunity that is offered for cheap
money through the federal reserve
bank and warehouse our cotton and
market it slowly"

WILL NOT CONSIDER
RIGHTS OF NEUTRAL
EFFORTS OF AMERICANS TO
RAISE EMBARGO ON FOOD
PROVES A FAILURE.
Government Had Asked That Radius
Of Activity be Defined and That
Attacks on Merchant Ships
be Abandoned.

Washington.-Six diplomatic notes
were made public Wednesday night by
the state department, constituting the
entire correspondence Of the last few
weeks between the United States and
Germany and between the United
States and Great Britain and France,
relative to the abandonment OF sub
marine attacks on merchant ships, the
shipment of conditional contraband
erent country, the use OF neutral flags
by belligerent merchantmen, the re-
moval of mines and the proclamation
Of a virtual blockade by the allies
against Germany.
The communications revealed that
the United States government, realiz-
ing the difficulties of maintaining an
effective blockade by close guard OF
an enemy coast on account OF the new
ly developed activity of submarines,
asked that "a radius Of activity" be
defined. Great Britain and France re-
piled with the announcement that the
operations OF the blockade would not
be conducted outside OF European
waters. including the Mediterranean.
While Germany agreed. 1t is dis
closed, to abandon her submarine at
lacks on mercantile of any flag ex-
cept when they resist visit or search
provided foodstuffs were permitted to
reach her civilian population. Great
Britain and her allies rejected the pro-
posal, originally made by the United
States government, in an effort to
bring the belligerents into an arrange
ment which would safeguard the In
terests of the neutrals.
Furthermore, the documents show
that In message of inquiry to Great
Britain and France 1t was asked
whether the embargo on all commerce
between Germany and neutral coun'
tries was to be carried out under the
rules of blockade, or by interference
with ships and cargoes "as II no block
ade existed" The two together pre-
scented, in the view OF the American
government, IA proposed course OF
action previously unknown to interna-
tional law"
The answers from both Great Brit
ain and France reveal for the first
time that the allies officially regard
their policy as blockade" but desire
to refrain from exercising the rights
of belligerents under blockade TO
confiscate ships and cargoes as PEN
atty for breach of blockade, substitute
ing for 1t procedure in prize courts
and compensation through sale of the
detained merchandise.
The definition of radius Of activ-
ity" for the allied fleet in European
waters. including the Mediterranean,
is the first intimation OF the geograph-
ical limits of the blockade. Its limits
were not given more exactly, the allies
claim, because Germany was equally
indefinite in proclaiming all the waters
surrounding Great Britain and Ireland
a war zone"

SCOTT CAPTURES
RENEGADE INDIANS
INDIAN WAR IN SOUTHERN UTAH
BROUGHT TO CLOSE WITHOUT
FURTHER BLooDSHED.
Twent-seven Indians Accompany Gen.
eral Scott TO Bluff and VIII be
Brought to Salt Lake for
Trial for Mlsdeeds.

Salt Lake City.-The Piute upris-
ing in Utah was ended Saturday
when Brigadier General Hugh L. Scott
returned to Bluff Utah, with Chief
Old Polk. his son. (Hatch) "Tse-Na-
Cat" Chief Posey, Poseys Oldest boy,
and twenty-three other indians, whom
he captured on Douglas mesa. The
captives, at their own request are TO
be brought to Salt Lake City.
The capture of the ringleaders by
the United States army officer and his
small party OF personal escorts accom-
plished the peaceful settlement Of the
rebellion by the Indians, which had
resulted In the deaths OF six men and
the wounding of many others In the
early fighting between posse and the
redskins.
General Scott, chief of staff OF the
regular army overcame many obsta-
cles in adding this latest feat to his
long list of pacihcations Of rebellious
Indians His mission TO Utah, ordered
by Secretary War Garrison, was con-
sidered the last step before the calling
out of federal troops to combat the
redskins.
General Scott, accompanied by his
aide. Lieutenant Colonial Robert e. l..
Niche, and Private Paul Randolph,
an orderly, got in touch with the hos
tiles last Wednesday through friend
ly Navajo Indian messengers sent
out by General Scott to locate them.
The Navajo messengers told Chiefs
Old Polk and Posey that the big war
chief, representing the Great white
Father president WILSON, had come
TO smoke pipe OF peace with them
and talk over their grievances.
AS precautionary measure the
Pluto Indians carefully secuted the
ground several miles in advance OF
their chiefs, as the latter went to-
ward the meeting place. Finally. sat
isfying themselves that General Scott
was accompanied only by small
party, the chiefs went forward to
meet him. At the end of the pow
WOW they consented to accompany
him to Bluff. believing that General
Scott will see that they will get JUS
tice.
