PALMER Is PUTTING FINAL TOUCHES ID
 PLANS ID ENFORCE
 FRIGHTENING
Conferees Discuss Steps to Be Taken as Soon as Leg islatiOn Becomes Effec- tive and Lay Plans for
 Real Campaign
By Associated Press

Washington, October 13.-l In anticipation that legislation to stop profiteering soon will become effective, the depart ment of justice is putting the final touches to it's plans for procedure when the new weap- ons are available, said Attor- ney General Palmer, at the meeting of the conferees who took the cost of living problem under advisement nearly three months ago.
 Secretaries Glass, Houston and Will. son. Chairman Murdock and W. E. Col Der of the federal trade commission, Director General Hines, Assistant At torney General Ames, Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury Leffingwell, and H. E. Egg, assistant to Judge Ames, were present.
 After review of the progress made so far, which was said to be very grati- flying, considering that none of the laws requested of Congress had been placed on the statute books, the conference. discussed new steps to be taken when the real campaign of the government is started Officials declined to indicate what they had in mind, but it is known that Attorney General Palmer is pre- pared to proceed vigorously in a num- Der of individual cases, involving both foodstuffs and clothing, as soon as the food control law amendments to the latter, and to provide a criminal pen- atty for violations become a law. The amendment has been passed by both houses of Congress.
 Another conference is to be held later in the week, probably Thursday or Fri day, at which time Secretaries Baker and Daniels are expected to attend and to advise concerning the release of sur plus foodstuffs still held by the mili- tary departments of the government,
 Secretary Baker today cancelled in structions~ for the distribution of sugar held by the army, learning that the supply was available for only two and one-half months in advance.
 Planning to take the public into his confidence concerning action against the cost of living, Attorney General Palmer will make number of trips into adjoining states, beginning the latter part of this month. It was said the trips would be similar to his jour- ney to Albany for conference with New York state officials.

WILSON'S CONDITION ABOUT IHE SAME,' 7 YS|C|AN STATES General, Although Slight, Improvement Is Noted in
 Presidents Condition
 Daily, Says Grayson
By Associated Press

Washington, october 13.-President Wilson's condition was described as "about the same" in a bulletin issued tonight by Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician.
 It was added by Dr. Grayson in an informal conference with newspaper men that n gradual, although slight. improvement was being noted in the President's condition daily.
 The bulletin issued tonight said: /
 White House, october 13, 10 p. m: The Presidents condition is about the same. Grayson.
 The daily changes in the Presidents condition, Dr. Grayson said tonight. while encouraging, were slight and could not always be clearly indicated in a formal brief bulletin For this reason he departed from his usual cus- tom and supplemented the formal oul- letin with an oral statement of the pa- tient's condition.
 Dr. Grayson said that the Presidents mind was active and that while res. was desired. yet any important mat ters demanding the Presidents atten- tion might be attended to should the occasion demand it.
 Many of the current reports as to the Presidents condition were referred to by Dr. Grayson during the confer- ence but in all cases he stated that he would stand on his bulletins. It was intimated. however. that the formal announcements might be supplemented from time to time by oral statements.

 Tonight's meeting was tumultuous affair. Strikers missed President O'Connor of the longshoremen's union and it was fully 10 minutes before Cr- der was restored.

 Outside the hall were gathered fully 5000 men unable to gain admittance essary to call police reserves.
 A group of three men. shouting moro loudly than sthe rest, attracted the mo- tice of many strikers. Suddenly some one yelled "anarchists'' and this was followed by crisAof ''They are bolshe- wiki kill them
 k The three fled with mob of water front "huskies' after them.
 Kisses and shouts from inside the hall were taken up by those outside and at one time the crowd surged for ward, determined to enter the building already packed to the doors. The police drove them back into the streets.

LITERARY DIGEST ISSUES 80 PAGES

Now York. October 13.-E1imination of typesetting. one of the costliest op- cration of magazine production, by the use of plates made by photogyaphing the original typewritten copy has been accomplished in the October IS issue of the Literary Digest, consisting of SO pages. This radical innovation, which was brought about by the printers strike in this city. leads the publishers to suggest that "it is pos sibie in this age of marveis that the whole future of magazine publication may be revolutionized by the elimina- ton of typesetting."
 The makeup of the magazine is in no way changed. the only difference being that the style of the type is that used on typewriters, and is uniform in all the reading matter throughout the number.

 No announcement of additional mills starting up came from anywhere in the Pittsburg district. but several in other steel centers were reported as having begun operations. Neither were there any claims made of large numbers of men returning to work in plants that have been working.

WILL SON M|SSTATED FACTS. DECLARATION OF SENATOR NORRIS IN TREATY SPEECH
Borah Also Holds That Pres ident Was Mistaken in Certain Statements He Made During Recent
 Speaking Tour
By Associated rrea

Washington, October 13.- Another three-hour attack on the Shantung proposition by Senator Norris, republican, Ne braska, and a 10-minute speech of the same character by Sen ator Borah, republican, Idaho, constituted the sum of the Sen ate's progress today in it's con- sideration of the peace treaty.
 Tomorrow the speechmsking will con- tinue, and although some of the leaders think,a vote on the Shantung amendment may be reached Wednesday, others are not so optimistic.
 Senator Norris, who had occupied most of two previous sessions with his Shan tung speech, concluded today after again assailing the accuracy of statements made by President Wilson in his western address and declaring that after the President had acknowledged he was wrong he had gone on nis-statinS the facts about Shantung. Senator Borah also declared MT. Wilson had been mis- taken in his statement that John Hay was Secretary of State when the German rights in Shantung were acquired. Quot- ing from the reports of missionaries in regard to conditions in Korea, Senator Norris declared it was the purpose of the Japanese government to drive Chris tianity out of Asia, and that the United States will be siding in that attempt if it acquiesced in the treaty proposal to extend Japanese rule over Shantung.
 JAPAN HEATHEN COUNTRY
 T cannot see how Christian people can read of conditions in Korea he said, and then ask us to ratify this treaty and not protest against nation that carries on such work. It brings us face to face with the fact that we cannot af- ford to turn over Shantung to the heathen country of Japan.
 II am not a member of any church or religious organization, but may my lips be sealed with eternal silence before I give official approval of an act to stamp out the religion of Jesus Christ and put organism in it's stead"
 Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee planned to speak during the day on the Shantung amendment, but he decided not to do so because of the time required by Senator Norris to finish his address. Mir Lodge probably will speak tomorrow, and the leaders hope also to make some progress in the reading or the treaty text

FURTHER REDUCTION IN COTTON ACREAGE WOULD BE CALAMITY .TODD'S DECLARATION
Demands That Consumers Pay Enough to Make Cot ton as Profitable as Other Crops in Speech
 at Conference
sy A.sssi.t.s rr..,

New Orleans, October 13.-- Declaration by John A. Todd, professor of economies and Ok ford lecturer, that further re- striction of cotton acreage in the United States would be nothing short of a calamity" and a demand that cotton con- sumers pay" enough to make cotton as profitable as other crops" by J. Scotnowe Wanna maker of St. Matthew, s. C., president of the American Cot ton association, featured the second general session here late today of delegates to the World Cotton conference.
 MT. Todd's declaration was made in the course of an address in which he presented figures showing future needs of the world for cotton past crops and |
 the present prospects
 '.The worlds requirements" said MT. Todd, "are practically unlimited. Flu rope and Asia are bare of cotton goods. Che position today is the same as before the war, only worse. The world wants more cotton than it is getting, and must have it. The more financially em- l,< the more cotton they will use. In Amer ica an increased acreage is improbable if the boil weevil and scarcity of labor are serious handicaps. The only solu- tion here is an increased yield per acre. The average cotton yield in the south, to say the least, is discreditable More cot ton is wasted annually in America than l it has been possible to raise in Africa outside of Egypt
 l in America would be nothing short of a calamity. There now is and always will be a demand for all the cotton that can l be raised anywhere. There is no need to restrict the supply. but rather it should be increased.
 Of course the first necessity is to as- 1 sure the planter reasonably remunera-

 1 CURSE TO SOUTH MT Wannamaker prefaced his address with the declaration that cotton has l been a curse to the southern states. I'll ! if had not been for the raising of cot | ton in the south this section would have
 been thickly settled with whites, and there would not be the great percentage | of illiterates in the rural communities { Cotton brought slavery. resulting in tho war between the states. followed by tho ! terrible days of reconstruction, bank. i rl.ptcy and poverty.
