Washington, Aug. s-RepIying &c
Republican criticisms of President
Wilson'S Mexican policy in the House
today. Representative Harrison. OF
Mississippi, declared that the attacks
were prompted by desire to create
a false campaign issue rather than
to see the policy changed
Mr.. Harrison mentioned particular
ly Mr.. Hughes speech accepting the
Republican nomination and speeches
in Congress by Senator Fall and Rep
resentative Rodenberg, of Illinois. He
interpreted Mr.. Hughes statements az
meaning that he would have recog-
nized Huerta, would not have issued
munition embargoes and would have
interviewed in Mexico.
'If Mr.. Hughes were President" he
added, the country would be at war.
and instead Of a sky rejecting the
color from the burning furnaces of
prosperous factories, 1t would be re-
fleeing red streams of blood from
noble sons"
Cr1ticises Hughes.
Mr.. Harrison said the President
embargo policy has been consistent,
fair and Just, and at each point in the
development of that policy it was at
that time approved by the American
people"
He met conditions as they arose
continued the speaker. FIRMLY. justly
and the people of this country will
not now believe that he was vacillat-

Mr.. Harrison criticised Mr.. Hughes
for consulting with Henry Lane Will
son. to whom he referred as the dis.
credited ex-ambassafor" to Mexico.
He also insisted that as a result of
having been on the bench, Mr.. Hughes
was out of touch with the people.
I'm answer to a statement by Rep
reeentative Rodenberg that the en-
barge on munitions was lifted shortly
after a visit to Secretary Lansing OF
Cleveland III. Dodge, a munitions
manufacturer and a large contributor
to the Democratic campaign fund In
1912, Mr.. Harrison read a telegram
from the secretary saying he never
had seen Mr.. Dodge. The telegram
also said the permit for the shipment
of certain munitions belonging to Mr.,
DodEes company which had been held
UP at Douglas, Ariz., was issued ten
days prior to the Parral fight, instead

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 9.-Relatively
easy cables and rather more favorable
crop advices from Texas and some east
ern belt sections were followed by an
opening decline of to IL points in the
cotton market today. with December
selling at 1L47 and January at 14.5s on
the call. There was a good deal of
scattering liquidation and some local
selling. but offerings were absorbed by
a further broadening of commission
house demand, which seemed to come
largely from western and Wall street
sources, and the market soon turned
frmer. with December selling up to
1883 and January to 1853. or about
to points net higher.
Private cables reported a smaller and
rather nervous market in Liverpool.
Futures opened steady: October,
1928: December. 14.47: January. 1850;
March. 14.T4: May. 1888.
The ready absorption of early offer
ings seemed to unsettle the confidence
of recent sellers and prices sold up to
14.59 for December and 1910 for jan
uary during the middle of the morning
or back to shade over last nights
closing prices. This advance met in
tone was very nervous during the
middle of the day with December
easing of to 14-44 and January to 1852
or about IA points net lower. The
weekly report of the weather bureau
was considered about in line with ex-
pectations and had little immediate
influence.

Stocks Supposed to Have Been Lost
Through Mail Pouch Robbery.

A number of bankers and brokers of
Washington and Baltimore were made
glad this morning by the return to
them through the Post Office Depart
ment of the greater part of their Sc
curities lost in the mail pouch robbery
between Jersey City and New York
February 26, 1916.
The aggregate amount of valuable
securities in the pouch was about $780,
900. The mysterious disappearance of
the registered pouch was followed by
the arrest and conviction of three men
and the recovery of the contents in
large part.
The contents of the mail pouch were
insured, and the owners would not have
been out anything other than where
failure to insure premium on the bonds,
etc, would have caused small loss.
Some of the stocks in the pouch are
less valuabl today than on February
26, but the bonds have not changed in
value to any appreciable extent.

NEW ORLEANS. August s.-The re-
fusal of Liverpool to follow the advance

Indications of rain in the western half

dation of long contracts around the
opening OF the cotton market today
Under this selling prices fell to II

support met the decline and the market
quickly recovered, standing at a net
rise of 1 TO points at the end of the

vcrable than generally expected. and
following them the market fell to a
net loss of IA to 16 points
