GENERAL CARR TO
BE DISTINGUISHED
REUNION VISITOR

The Confederate reunion which
opens in Atlanta October is going
: 10 establish the high-water mark for
reunions held in this country, ac-
cording to General Julian S. Carr,
Confederate veteran, commander of
the department army of northern
Virginia, and originator of Bull Dur
ham smoking tobacco and the9..4dslin
sack.
General Carr is seventy-four years
old, but he doesn't look it. He was in
Atlanta Monday for a day, and will
return to the city on the morning
the reunion opens. He says that
Everybody in North Carolina" is
coming to the reunion, that the girls
he brings will be the prettiest girls
in the world, and that the youngest
man at the reunion will be no other
than General Julian S. Carr, aged
seventy-four.
This distinguished citizen of North
Carolina is distinguished of appear
ance. White-haired and immaculate
and with a broad, genial smile, pc
rennial flower in his coat, and wear
ing gold glasses, General Carr is such
man who can be singled out in a
great crowd. He numbers among his
friends some CT the great men of
the south, and while he now holds
a string of offices and official posi-
lions as long as his arm, he is Civ.
ing practically his entire time to the
men who were comrades of his dur
ing the war of the sixties.

Stirred by Politics

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-Mexico
City has been greatly stirred, adj
vices received here through official
channels say. by the killing of a
Spaniard and two Mexican army Of
f1cers by officers of General Gonza-

barroom in the capital for support
ing a bartender who had expressed a
desire of seeing General Obregon
elected over Gonzales to succeed Car

SENATE ASKS DATA
IN MARINE: LANDING;
CHARGE F|L|BDSTER

WASHINGTON.-The senate unan-
imously adopted Senator News reso-
luton calling on President Wilson to
furnish all the facts concerning the
landig of American marines at Trau,
DaImatia.
Adoption of the resolution follow
ed denunciation Of Republicans by
administration leaders who charged
that a filibuster is being conducted
to delay the peace treaty in def
ance of demands of the country.
They charged that Republicans
are "everlastingIy prodding and
harassing" President Wilson. and
demanded tat such tactics cease.
In debate, which for bitterness
and heat has not been excelled in
the senate for long time, Senators
Hitchcock and Swanson angrily de-
clared that the Republican demand
for information on the landing of
American marines in DaImatia has
been made the occasion for "condem-
nation by senators of their own gov
eminent"
Demands Action
The debate followed the calling up
by Senator New of his resolution re-
questing the president to inform the
senate concerning the landing of ma
rines.
At the same time Representative
Campbell, Kansas, started an attack
in the house against the use of the
American forces on orders Of foreign
erS.
Senator Hitchcock declared he is
willing to be beaten" if only prompt
action can be had.
'There is a systematic filibuster
going on here to delay considera-
ton of the treaty against the wishes
of the people," Senator Hitchcock de-
clared. 81 am not protesting against
this resolution. But I am protest
ing against this everlasting DISPOSE
ton to prod and annoy an admins
tration that is doing it's best to end
the war. I do not believe the sena-
tors on that side are in sympathy
with the practice of constantly heck
ling and attacking the president. W.
ought to act on this treaty and act
on it even if it goes against what !
believe ought to be done.
Senator Hitchcock declared flatIy
the American government has a rep
resentative on the supreme war coun-
Gil, but refused to name him when
Fall repeatedly asked who it is.

GRAVES THREATENS
BREAK WITH RUSSIA!
OLDS Up RIFLES

OMSK, Tuesday, Sept. 23.-CBy the
Associated Press Major = General
Graves, commander of the American
forces in Siberia, in retaliation for
the alleged scurrilous articles pub
Iished in a V1adivostok newspaper
and hostile acts of Cossack chiefs
in the Far East, has held up ship
ment of $4,000 rifles which recently
arrived in Vladivostok from Amer
lea consigned to the ,All-Russian gov
eminent at Omsk.
Giving notice Of his action by tel
egraph, General Graves, in direct and
forceful language, declares he will
personally cause the arrest of the
offending editor and suppression of
the newspaper, the Golos Rodini, I'M
less the Omsk government does so.
He asserts further that unless the
activity of the Cossack chiefs is con-
trolled he will recommend that Amer
lea refuse to render further as
sistance to Russia. General Graves
says he will retain the arms until
advised as to what action the Omsk
government proposes to take.
In replying, the Omsk government
says in it's view the subject consti-
tutes a diplomatic, and not a mill
tary problem, which should be ap-
preached through recognized diplo-
matte channels, and that the govern
ment there awaits a communication
from the state department at Wash
ington. 1t says that, mot wishing to
fo formulate anv recrimiDa tiOnS If
will not enter into an argument
which might impair the lively SYM
pathy which it believes has been
awakened in America for the cause
of Admiral Kolchak."
In respect to the holding up of the
shipment of rifles, establishment is
expressed by the government that
local troubles in the Far East, which
the government regards as an inter-
national problem, and not a purely
Russian one, Should impel General
Graves to take steps which might
jeopardize a more far-reaching and
more vital undertaking, namely, the
suppression of Bolshevisn, at the
critical moment when Siberian troops
are conducting a successful offensive"
1t is pointed out that General
Graves course is peculiarly aston
ishing in view of the fact that the
rifles were bought and paid for by
the Russian government"
The threatened suppression of the
newspaper, it is declared, could con-
ceivabIy be construed as a matter
subject to American military jurisdic-
ton.

Berlin Asks Assembly
To Pay Damages Of
Spartacan Riots

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-It seemed the irony
of fate decreed that the first bill
submitted to the national assem- bly,
upon it's Berlin debut was a meas
ure providing reimbursement and
decentralization for losses growing
out of Spartacan riots here last
winter. The debate resolved the
question of whether the nation or
the local community would bear
the cost, which will aggregate ap-
proximately sixty million marks for
compensation and damages. The
bill was referred to a special ~A-n-
mission.
No ceremonies marked the advent
of the parliament to the former
reichstag building, but there was a
light sprinkling of armed guards
scattered about the premises and an
occasional machine gun might have
been observed tucked away in some
corner. Konstantine Fahrenbach,
president Of the national assembly,
welcomed the legislators back to
the "house dedicated to the repre-
sentatives of the German people"

SENATE: READY FOR
FIRST TEST VOTE
ON PEACE TREATY
Some Senators Profess to
Believe That Pact VIII Be
Finally Disposed of With
in Two Weeks

WASHINGTON, Oct. .2.-The SEN
ates attitude on amendments to the
peace treaty was to be thoroughly
tested today.
BY unanimous agreement, all OF
Senator Falls proposed amendments
numbering more than thirty, were
to be voted on before midnight.
Administration leaders confidently
predicted defeat Of every one.
All but one of Senator Falls
amendments provide for elimination
of the United States from member
ship on the many commissions, to
be appointed by the principal powers
in some cases and by the League of
Nations in others, to settle boundary
questions and oversee plebiscites on
national adherence and similar poIiti-
cal questions covered by the treaty.
The exception is his amendment re-
latinS to the reparati tons commits
sion, which provides that the Ameri-
can member of that body shall re-
frain from voting upon any question
except the disposition ofs@German
shipping, unless and until he has
been specifically instructed by his
government to vote. 4 81
Under the agreement adopted late
yesterday, the senate begins at 2
p. m. operating under the five-min-
ute rule which means that no SEN
ator shall speak more than once nor
longer than five minutes on any one
amendment. Fall said today he will
not ask a record roll call on each
amendment, but will let them be dis
posed of, with some exceptions, by
the much speedier viva voce method.
Upon his first amendment, however,
and upon that relating to the repara-
tions commission, he will ask roll
calls. The first amendment elimi-
mates the United States from COM
mission of seven set up to fix the
boundary line between Belgium and
Germany.
Another development expected dur
ing the day was announcement by
Senator Hoke Smith, Democrat, Geor-
gia, Of his reservation program. He
has prepared a set of reservations,
which he planned to present in
speech explaining why he believes
the treaty must carry reservations.
President Wilson's condition was
unchanged, according to the last Of
fetal statement issued by DR.. Cary
r. Grayson: Threatening weather to-
day made it appear likely the presi-
dent would have to forego his usual
automobile ride.

Chicago, Sept. 29th.-Mr. Jas. D.
Bell, head of the Bell Tailors, Adams
at Green ST., Chicago. ILL.,, said to be
the largest made-to-measure clothing
establishment in the world recently
stated that his firm is now able to
quote prices on Fall and Winter
suits 35 per cent below what others
ask. To prove his point, he showed
the writer a very attractive piece
of all wool cashmere for which they
ask only $4,000 a suit made to in
dividual measure. whereas the same
fabric is now being offered by mer-
chants at 100000 to $4,000 per suit.
Even larger savings are offered on
their higher priced suits. Every
reader of The Journal should write
Mr.. Bell for his price list, and a
free copy of his style book No. 1856,
which contains large cloth samples
Of many beautiful patterns.-(Advt.)

 The Phoenix Cotton Oil company, as it's name indicates, is interested in the extraction of oil from cotton seed. It is equipped with a very efficient plant having a capacity of 50 tons a day valued at s4500. The crude oil is shipped to Los Angeles to undergo re- lining processes while the cotton cake or meal is sold as cattle fodder.
 With the efficient handling of cot ton by-products assured as it now is, cotton culture in Arizona and especial ly in the Salt River Valley is receiving an added impetus through the in creased value of the cotton crop to the commonwealth, while the cotton indus try is coming more and more nearly into its place beside the allied indus tries of copper and cattle rivaling them in importance and wealth produc- ton to the state.

 The Salt River Valley alive to the great possibilities of cotton by-pro- ducts has established several plants in Phoenix utilizing the linters, hulls and kernels.

EARLY PROBLEMS IN
 COTTON INSURANCE
 IN SALT RIVER VALLEY
(6y A. K. Perry. Tempel

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that cOufrOnts the executives Of an indus try whose existence is dependent upon the aid of foreign capital is that Of educating the stranger capitalists to an understanding ot local conditions
 At the outset of our cotton enter prise. cotton insurance to the repre- sentative companies had about the me significance as penny ante and an attempt on the part Of a local agent iu write this class of business was an inyita,ou to the home office for % felcgiIphic order ot cancellation. UIlcd cotton might he written i'm very
 mitrd quantities provided arrange mcnts were made with the general Of ficr prior 70 tho actual assumption or liability by the company. Cotton gins and all their appurtenances were ab- solutcly prohibited. A gin. to the man. arcr at san Francisco or New York. was necessarily wooden building where negroes driving teams of oxen would denosit their seed cotton and crafty buyers would carry away the bales on river packets. A part of the general scheme of things was the an uual destruction of the buildings and machinery by fire.
 Of the insurance companies operat- ing in the valley there was perhaps oniv one thoroughly familiar with our local conditions and this b reason of Inc fact that the company was organ ilCd in Arizona and maintained it's home office at Phoenix. A representa- tive of this company was sent to San Francisco to confer with the managers of various companies and tO point out fine dcslrahility of long staple cotton and it's by-products as a subject of fire insurance Certain reinsurance treat jos resulted from this meeting whicn. while thoroughly protecting the as- sured. permitted the company to write practically unlimited lines on field. seed and lint cotton. Certain other of inc more progressive companies fell into line and the difficulty Of placing insurance for the grower and ginman was rapidly overcome.
 The cotton insurance business in the valley has steadily increased. At first. owing To numerous gin fires this phase or the business was decidedly a losing proposition. Later. with the construc- ton of concrete gin buildings and fire proof of warehouses. losses have been reduced to. and kept at. minimum. leductions in rates have occurred from time to time and an equitable tariff is nov assured the grower, ginmqn and buyer.

There are three products obtained from the seed: linters, hulls and the meats or kernels proper. The linters is merely the layer of short lint which thoroughly covers the seed pod. being too short to be used in the ordinary ways as lint These linters are re- moved from the seed pods and may then be used for upholstery, absorbent cotton, felt cellulose. twine. guncotton, writing paper, varnishes, etc,
 The hulls are used in bran, fertil- izers. fuel. packing material, fibre, stuffing for horse collars, etc, in bases for explosives and pressed paper pro- ducts.
 The usefulness of the meats or ker- nels of the cotton seed naturally ex- cceds that of the linters and the hulls. Two products are made from the ker- nels: cake or meal and crude oil. The first product finds it's usefulness in dyestuffs. fertilizers, Hours and in an unusually well balanced feed for cat tie. poultry, horses, swine and sheep The crude tl goes through several re-

The seed of course is a source of much revenue 10 the growers and gins. but after a certain per cent of it has been disposed of for seed and the remainder crushed for its oil, it's mis- sion in life is by no means fulfilled, nor is it's usefulness at an end.
