NEW YORK, Sept. ALThe census bu-
rau's report, showing s5o,o52 bales of
cotton ginnsd UP to September 1. the high
est on record for the period. caused further
lquidatien and heavy short selling on the
Cotton Exchange this morning. which forced

OWEN WILL STRIVE
TOF0RCE A VOTE
Senate Continues to Debate
Corrupt Practices Bill.
Ashurst in Lively Scene.

The debate on tho corrupt practices
bill was continued in the Senate today.
Senator Owen. in charge of the bill, In
sists that he will force q vote on the
measure If possible before the ad-
journment of Congress.
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
addressed the Senate In opposition to
the passage of this measure at this
time, declaring that 1t should De given
more careful consideration. Senator
Reed of Missouri spoke in support of
the measure.
Approach Personal Encounter.
Senators Curtis of Kansas. republi-
can, and Ashurst Of Arizona, democrat
furnished tho excitement Of yesterday
debate in an interchange which looked
for = few minutes as IL 1t might result
in a personal physical encounter.
Senator Curtis advocated q more
stringent law than that proposed, and
one that would particularly restrict the
use Of the congressional frank to pre-
vent senators or representatives from
sending out campaign appeals at gov
ernment expense. He read letter from
Senator Ashurst to a constituent, recit-
ing his record as a basis for support
and said he understood that 10000 Of
these had been franked out, in viola
tion Of the privilege.
Letter Approved, He Says.
IF tho senator charges that this is a
violation Of the law" said Senator Ash
urst, whom he got the floor, he has
sweetbreads for brains" He explained
that his letter had been submitted and
approved by the Postmaster General
and ono Of his assistants as being mat
ter which could be franked.
Calling Senator Curtis tho 'Pharisee
from Kansas" and brushing aside sew
eral chairs, he strode across the center
aisle and shook hts finger under Senator
Curtis nose. Senator Smoot, seated Just
between the two, moved back in mock
alarm as Senator Ashurst approached
Senator Curtis smiled but kept his seat.
little later Mr.. Ashurst turned on
Senator Penrose. who said he had
noticed a copper lobby around the
Capitol whose members had been talk
ing with the Arizona senator.
Hurls AIde" at Penrose.
IT, said Mr.. Ashurst, '1he senator
means to say that my vote has been
Influenced by a copper lobby or any
other lobby he lies" Several senators
objected to this language. and Senator
Ashurst. after explaining he had said
'rf," agreed to withdraw his remark.
Several senators told of large con-
tributions to campaigns in various
states. Senator Owen said former Rep
resentative A. Mitchell Palmer of Penn
sylvania had stated that $750.o00 was
spent in one Pennsylvania election
Senator Penrose, in answer, said that
Mr.. Palmer's statement had never been
supported by evidence. and declared
he could give better proof that several
hundred thousand dollars had been
spent in Oklahoma in the recent prl-
mary campaign which resulted in the
denomination of Senator Owen.
Two amendments to the bill were
proposed. One, by Senator Brady. tc
postpone the efreetiye date Of the = &C, Ct
until January l. 1917. two months after
election, was approved The other was
offered by Senator Jones. and would
make it a felony for any manufactures
of intoxicating liquor to contribute te
a campaign fund
