Alleghany Sheriff Says Woman's Body Wounded After Au-
 topsy Was Held.
KILLING WAS BASIS
 OF STRIKE DEBATE
Labor Men Had Claimed She Was Slain While Protecting Children Sheriff Calls it Attempt
 to Make Propaganda.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 16.-Sheriff VII liam s. Paddock of Allegheny coun- ty today sent to Chairman Kenyon of the senate committee investigat- ing the steel strike, letter in which he practically charges that the body of Fannie Sellins, an organizer for the United Mine Workers, who was shot and killed, August 28, at West Natrona, where there was strike of miners had been deliberately mutilat- ed after the official autopsy to make it appear she was shot in the back.
 The death of the woman has at- tracted much attention because of charges made by labor union men that she was murdered by deputy sheriffs The coroner's verdict declared she was killed during riot. The miners charge she was shot to death while protecting children from the sheriff. s last Monday at the instance of a re- lative, and yesterday labor men sent to Chairman Kenyon an affidavit signed by two physicians averring that there was gunshot wound in the back. The coroner's finding made no mention of such wound.
 The sheriff's letter says in part:
 Wound After Autoposy
 "The investigation conducted by the sheriff and by the coroner also lead to the decision tha the wound found in Fannie Sallins' back when the body was disinterred last Mon- day, after being buried 43 days, may or may not be a bullet wound, and that whatever kind of an injury it is, was deliberately inflicted, after the official autopsy in the presence of reputable witnesses, to discredit those in authority, and for the further pur- pose of furnishing anarchistic dan gerous and revolutionary agitators and organizers propaganda to be used in the steel strike against the state and national governments, al- though the incident is not remotely connected with the strike.
 "In the interest of the state and national government, it becomes my official duty to call your attention to what we are as certain as it is pos sible to be from investigations not possible. now to any other authority at this. date, that the affidavits and findings addressed to your committee in reference to the exhumation of the body of Fannie Sellins are nothing more nor less than the result of deli berate. wilful and malicious secret acts of persons, to us at this moment unknown, but whom in due season we expect to apprehend. to malign and injure reputable public officers. with the hope that by such and similar propaganda our present system of government can be overthrown."

WORLD COTTON CONVERTING IS PERMANENT BODY Englishman to Head OrganiZa- tion-Ask Congress to Aid
 Exportation. GROWERS REQUESTS
 ARE VOTED DOWN These Included recommendations Con- demning Sale on Call, Favor
 ing Gin Compression and
 Opposing Gambling.

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-The world cotton conference came into perma- !nent organization late today when a report submitted by the committee on organization was adopted. Sir A. Herber Dixon, of Manchester England, chairman of the British delegation to the conference, was elected president and the recommen- dation was made that the next con- ference be held in England in 1921
 Other officers were elected as fol- lows:
 General secretary, Rufus E. Will son, Boston; assistant secretary Frank Nasmith, England; treasurer for European members, Sir James Hope Simpson,; for United States, w. Irving Bullard, Boston; vice presidents for the United States Fuller E. Galloway, LaGrange, Ga.; England, Edward B. Orme and John Smithers; France, George Badern; Belgium, Count Jean de Hemptinne; Switzerland, Herman Buhler; Italy Giogio Mylius.
 The recommendation by American members of the group on financing foreign credits and exports that congress place at the disposal of the war finance corporation sufficient funds to permit the corporation to finance the exportation of at least one million bales of cotton was adop- ted. It was pointed out that the government had authorized the ex- tension of $1,OO0,OO0,000 of credit to finance exports through the agency of the war finance corporation and the committee recommended the pur- chase of foreign securities against debentures which would be issued and sold in this country in order to get away from short term banking credits and stabilize the rate of exchange.
 Growers Voted Down. Recommendations of the growers embodied in IA points, were voted

 COTTON MARKET
Thousands of Dollars in Wagon Receipts Are Being Di-
 verted from City.

Ten to fifteen years ago, when lief ferson county produced 30,000 to 35,- 900 bales of cotton, wagon receipts here in season aggregated 24,000 to 30,O00 bales. Now, with Jefferson producing around 50,000 bales each year, wagon receipts in season total only 10000 to 12,O0O bales.
 The great drop in wagon receipts, considered in connection with the in- crease in production, certainly indi- cates that Pine Bluff is not keeping apace with it's opportunities as cot ton market. It means that each year hundreds of thousands of dollars which should be spent in Pine Bluff are going elsewhere.
 According to the custom followed by most plantation owners, the tenant or renter-the actual grower of cot ton-is given his cotton seed money even if the landlord insists on re- ceiving check for the lint cotton in order to effect settlement for the supplies furnished by him to the grower during the year With seed at present prices, this means that every grower gets about $35 for the seed of each bale. It is also gener- ally agreed that the grower spends this seed money, if not his cotton money, in the community where he markets his cotton. Estimating that at least 30,0OO bales of wagon cot ton should reach Pine Bluff each sea- .~~~>

Wilson Steadily is
 Improving; Receives
 News of the Treaty

Washington, Oct. 16.-Further in- dication of the steady improvement in the condition of President Wilson, who today entered the fourth week of his illness, was given tonight in the statement by White House off cials that the vote on the Shantung amendment to the peace treaty was imparted to him within a few minutes after the senate roll call.
 The president earlier in the day, it was learned, was advised that an inn portant vote in the senate peace treaty controversy was near. As the news did not seem to worrq him, Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal phy- sician, gave permission for the send ing of the vote to the sick room when recorded. Secretary Tumulty received the news of the vote at the White House immediately after an- nouncement by the senate tellers and sent it to the presidents room where it was given to him by his nurss, Mrs. Wilson having left his bedside for few minutes.
 In a bulletin issued at the White House at 10:15 o'clock tonight Dr. Grayson said:
 "The president had fairly satis- factory day"
 The day bulletin was supported by unofficial reports throughout the aft ernoon although there was no dispo- sition to create an impression that a radical improvement could be noted for some time.
 Affairs demanding MT. Wilson's at tention are still being showed into other channels, as was the prohibi- tion enforcement act, which was sent today to the attorney general fol consideration before executive action is taken.

Lodge Proposals Rejected After Six and Half Months of
 Debate. BUT THREE PROPOSED CHANGES TO ACT UPON American Representation on COm- missions and Equalization of Voting Power Stand in
 Way of Ratification.

Washington, Oct. 16.-The long debated Shantung amendment to the peace treaty, presented by Senator Lodge and approved by the foreign relations committee, finally was re- jected in the senate with majori- ty of an even score against it. In the vote of 35 to 55, IA repub- licans swung over to the pro-treaty forces, while three democrats lined up with those supporting the propos- |al. Of the six senators absent, two republicans were put on record as in favor of the amendment and ona re- publican and three democrats as op- posing it.
 The roll call, which came at the of sharp debate, in reality, swept one, each change in the treaty text having been numbered separately by the committee in it's decision to strike out the word "Japan" and substitute the word China through out the sections relating to the pro- vince of Shantung. By unanimous consent, however, the six changes were debated and voted on as one.
 Only three of the committees 45 amendments now remain to be acted on by the senate, 36 previously hav- ing been rejected Of those remain ing, one relates to American repre- sentation on the reparations commits sion and two to equalization of vot- ing power in the league of nations assembly.
 Lodge to Try Agam.
 After the vote was completed Sen- ator Lodge announced that later he would move to strike out entirely the sections awarding the Shantung rights to Japan. Notice also was given by number of the republic an senators who opposed the com mittee amendment that they would present reservations dissenting from the Shantung award.
 More than 20 senators took part in today's debate, extended speeches being made for the amendment by Senators Johnson of California. Sher- man of Illinois and Lafolette of Wis., consin, all republicans, and against it by Senators Phelan of California, democrat, and McCumber of North Dakota, a republican. Senator Will Hams, democrat, Mississippi, inject ed into the discussion bitter de- nunciaticn of the attitude of some Irish-Americans and sharp replies were made by Senators Phelan and Gerry, democrats, of Rhode Island. After the roll call a few minutes was devoted to the formal reading of the long treaty text. and the leaders expect to continue the task tomorrow. The general prediction was that a vote on the remaining amendments would not be reached before the middle of next week. The vote for adoption was: Repub- licans-Ball, Borah, Brandegee, Call der, Capper. Curtis, Dillingham;. Fall, France, Frelinghuysen, Gronna, Harding.
