Washington, Sept. 20. - President Wilson will fix the price of cotton, placing the last of the principal com modities necessary in the prosecution of the war under governmental regu- lation, despite strong pressure from the southern states. In addition to determining the price. the government will take over control of the distribu- ton of this years crop.
 The decision of the president, defi- nitely announced at a conference this week with senators and representa- lives from the cotton states, became known today Plans to carry out the decision are said to be under way.
 Agitation for the fixing Of price for cotton has been prevalent for a number of months. owing to the rapid ly mounting cost Of cotton products, and the belief in many quarters that the staple should be placed on the same basis as wheat and other essen- tials the price of which has been fixed The principal factor in the action of the president is understood to have been the shortage in the present crop estimates at between 4,000 900 and 5000, 900 bales.

 The department expresses the hope that The Netherlands government will lift the embargo on the movement of it's ships, which constitute the only considerable unit of idle neutral ton mage, and in effect gives notice that appeals for American foodstuffs will be in vain until Holland follows the example. of the Scandinavian countries, ESwitzerland and Spain and enters in to equitable agreements with the Unit ed States and the allies.

Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian. MT. Deford who was named as one of the directors of the corporation said he had resigned from the corpor- ation, and he had resigned from the corporation on March Il, 1916, which was more than a year prior to the date of the loan of $375,000 made through the concern to Brisbane by c. w.

Brisbane's request as san in- strumentality for the delivery of Hearst newspapers, and Brisbane ask | ed him, together with Sturdevant his associate, and McEntegart, clerk | in his office, to act temporarily as in i corporators and directors. The Star company declined to contract with the corporation for the distribution of it's papers, and the Growing Circulation Corporation thereafter remained a mere she'll" Later Brisbane advised him that he desired to take over the nominal as well as the actual owner ship" and to elect directors of his own choice. This was done at the meet | ing held March Il, 1916, "the first and only meeting of this company which either MT. Sturdevant, MT. McEnte- gart or myself attended" After au-
