Washington, April 7.-Representa-
tive Heflin of Alabama today intro
duced a resolution in the house ask
ing for complete and thorough inves-
tigation Of the New York cotton ex-
change, where, he said, he was con-
vinced that Conspiracy exists and
has existed for some time to hold
down the price of cotton" The reso-
luton was prepared after Mr.. Hefiin
had consulted Attorney General Greg
ory.
Representative Heflin introduced a
similar resolution several months ago.
That introduced today was presented
as a substitute and was agreed on by
the committee of the cotton growing
States. recently formed here by South

CATION Of what were termed "bear
raids on the exchange. The commit
tee was organized February 26 and
petitioned the attorney general to be-
sin an inquiry into the alleged efforts
to depress cotton prices. The depart
ment OF justice has been conducting
such an investigation but has not vet
announced what action If any will be
taken.
The Heflin resolution would pro-
vide for the appointment by the COM
mittee. on foreign and domestic COM

congress or during recess at such
places IS found necessary. 1t would
give the committee power to summon

ploy counsel to conduct the examina-
tions. Testimony will be under oath.
!, The preamble Of the resolution re-
cites that in the monthly report of
the department of agriculture for De-
cember. 1915. the cotton crop Of IT,
country was estimated to be tb
smallest for a number Of years but
that nevertheless a sharp fall in prices
followed publication Of the report

expected "in the absence of any arti-
hcial interference with the operation

 The Mana visited one small island in the Gulf of Panama where ele- phant 1asis was rampant among the people. The currents in this region were very difficult and there was one sailing ship that had been drifting in circles for thirteen months and had been unable to get out.

Even an innocent visit to such offices may have the most unpleasant, if not dangerous consequences, for the eyes and the cameras of the opposing party. are ever on the watch and several Rot terdam men have long been incarcer- ated in foreign prisons merely on such a ground.
 Significant in this connection Is the recent dismissal from the police ser vice of two detectives on the staff of the chief police bureau of Am sterdam, for having entered into we'll paid clandestine relations with the German secret service. Their "side line" included, among other jobs, the watching of persons of different na- tionalities who had applied for pass ports to enter Germany, but concern ing whom the German authorities entertained misgivings. investigations are now afoot to ascertain whether other police officials in the chief cities of Holland may not have yielded to , German temptations.
