ing Used Faster Than, It Can.
Be Produced, ~

Cotton at more than 500 bale is
predicted by Representative Hefin of
Alabama in statement issued from
his Office today Mr. Hef1in says that
the cotton holding movement in the
south will become general and that

fact that the war is using up cotton
faster than it can be produced.
He declares that the cotton crop for
this year will not be over 10, 100000 bales,
and that domestic consumption will
account for all but 100000 bales: and
that 100000 bales will fall far short
Of foreign needs. He declares that al
ready this year more than 100000
bales of cotton have been exported.
Cotton prices will be higher than at
any time since the war between the
states" said Mr.. Hef1in. Germany is
already in the southern market buying
and storing cotton for future use 1t
will require more than 100000 bales of
cotton and linters for the manufac-
ture Of powder and high explosive
shells for our army and navy. The cot
ton holding movement will become
general in the south before very long
and then prices will soar 1 shall NOT

$36 ton and some are asking $40
Cottonseed oil has advanced in price

hulls are being used more extensively

The naval correspondent of the Time,

OVER FUND DISTRIBUTION
Justice Anderson Dismisses Suit for
Injunction Brought Against
Federal Officials.

Justice Anderson of the District Su-

for injunction brought by representa-
tives of the Chippewa Indians OF Min
nesota against secretary Lane, Secre-
tary McAdoo and United States Treas
urer Burke to prevent the expenditure
of $160.00a of Indian funds. The Pc
titioners claimed that the joint reso-
luton o. Congress continuing appro-
priations of the preceding year after
the Indian appropriation bill had failed
of passage did not re-enact the appro-
priation of $l6OO00 from the principal
fund of the Chippewa Indians in MIN
nesota, but that it was specific ap-
preparation for last year only.
The Interior Department took diff
ferent view of the matter and submit
ted the question to the controller of
the Treasury, who decided that the
$3.50 900 was available for the current
wear under the joint resolution of
Congress.
Controllers Findings Sustained.
Justice Anderson sustains the find
ing of the judicial officer of the Ireas-
ury and holds that the joint resolution
being remedial to relieve an emer-
gency situation should be given
broad Interpretation.
The court finds that it is not neces-
sary to pass on the question. OF It's
right to review a decision of the con-
troller nor to decide whether the plain
tiff is entitled to sustain the suit.
