LATER REPORT
CONSIDERED VITAL.

A new census of the cotton crop
in Georgia and other cotton produc-
ing states Will be taken at once and
will be made public ten days from
today.
Ordinarily, the cotton census ends
with the September figures, which are
made public early in October. South
ern members of congress, however,
desired later information this year.
There were two reasons for this;
First, the Importance of knowing
the available cotton supply of a
world recently torn by war and now
resuming its commerce.
Second, the apprehension in many
quarters that the September figures
on cotton production were too high
and the price might be depressed be-
cause of the too liberal estimate.
Altogether, it was considered vital
to make more complete census by
gathering reports month later than
usual.
While the house was passing bill,
which was urged by Congressman
Chas. R. Crisp according to advices
received here, Senator Hoke Smith,
who had charge of similar measure
in the senate, obtained special meet
ing of the agricultural committee and
put the bill Though the upper house
as speedily as it went through the
house. The entire legislation was
handled within two days and the de-
partment of agriculture has told SEN
ator Smith it has as quickly issued
instructions to it's agents in all sec
tions of the country to expedite the
new survey of cotton production con-
ditions.
The bill ordering a new estimate
has not been signed by President Will
son because of his i%aess. After con-
ferences, however, between Senator
Smith and officials of the agricultu-
raj department, the senator was noti-
fed that the department will pro-
ceed with the census, as suggested
without waiting for routine approval
of the bill by the president, or his
automatic approval, minus such sig
nature within ten days as provided 5y
the constitution.
If the president were we'll enough
to afix his signature, there is ne
doubt he would sign the measure
which received Overwhelming support
in congress, but since time is essen
tial, the department, it was an
nounced in Washington, will conside,

Miss Maria Perkins. On one run
ming board was Miss Bell and on the
other were Misses Lucy Lane and

rushed to her home, where DR.. w.

that only her thick hair saved hes
from a fractured skull, so severe was
the blow she encountered.

BIG RECEIPTS
BLOW FOR CORN
Quotations Take Downward Trend
at Larger Supply on Hand
Selling Not Heavy.

Chicago, May 31-Big receipts
turned the corn market downward
today and did much to relieve trad
ers from misgivings that there
would be a month-end squeeze of
shorts. Selling, however, was not
aggressive. Many dealers were abb
sent in the country getting a per-
soDal opinion of crop conditions.
Opening prices which ranged from
&c to 112c lower with July 1.64 to
1.64h and September 1.5519 to 1.56.
were followed by moderate rallies.
Oats were easier with corn. Aft
er opening &c to &c off with July
67Hc to 671@c the market recov-
cred somewhat.
Provisions sympathized with the
weakness of grain. Most of the
trading was in lard.
Toward the last belated cover
ing by shorts led to a sudden bulge
in values, especially May. The
close was unsettled, 13sc to sc net
higher, with July at 1868 to
1861 and September at 1854 to
1888.
In the provision market a decid-
ed general advance later resulted
from export buying.

SELECT REFEREE
FOR BIG FIGHT?
TIME rs SHORT

Toledo, Ohio, May 31.-The big
town ward politician with his
checkered vest, smoldering cheroot
and fog-horn voice is a shrinking
violet compared with some of the
Campaign directors" of candidates
for referee of the Willard-Demp-
sey fight July 4.
The serious question of select
ing a referee for the champion
ship battle for the time overshad-
ows all other issues. 1t has
brought to the city small army
of campaigners who patrol the
hotel Hobbies and other places
where ring followers gather and
loudly extol the merits Of their re-
spective candidates.
Say, I'm representing Honest
John Hoosit, the worlds greatest
referee, and 1 want you boys to
plug for him." is the way every
conference of fight attaches is sud-
denly interrupted. The Grafton is
continued until the audience fairly
willis under the verbal barrage.
Meanwhile the conference of ex-
perts has developed thu unani-
nous opinion that the third man
in the ring when the champion
faces Dempsey in Tex Richards
500, 900 arena at Bay View park
should weigh at least 200 pounds.
He should also be a six-footer. &C
tive on his feet. He should have
years of experience in giving de-
cisions, and after having met all
physical qualifications should have
the courage to give a just verdict
at the end of the IL rounds IN
event both men are on their feet.
Some ring experts point out that
in previous battles Willard has
shown that he is a past master in
the art of waiting his man out"
holding back and being content
with a small margin of victory.
They say that the referee must be
physically able to prevent this if
the fight is to be made intensely
interesting.
To retain the heavyweight title
Willard must knock out the chal-
lenger, or show sufficient agrees
siveness 20 win the de -'ision, and
his followers declare that he will
do this by changing his "out-wait-
ing" tactics to s flashy offensive.
The champion probably win
have SO or go pounds the better of
Dempsey in weight. He is expect
ed to scale about 249 ringside, and
Dempsey about 1876.
The boxers themselves will agree
upon a referee ii possible. but in
event of failure, Rickard will make
the selection under authority
granted by the agreement. He
probably would not take such &C
ton until two weeks before the
fight. While Richard has been 81
lent on the subject, It is known
that he favors Bill Brown, a New
York ring official of years of ex-
perience. There are also several
referees OF Pacific coast fame en-
tirely satisfactory to Richard.
! Jack Kearns, manager of rhe
challenger. says he does not care
who is chosen so long as he
knows his business and keeps the
men pasting away ut each other"
Virtually every referee of prom
inence has been mentioned, and
many dark horses" have been
placed in dim spot-lights by their
advance agents. The list of we'll
known referees includes Matt Hin
KEEL of Cleveland, who is popular
with the boxing fraternity; Ollie
Pecord of Toledo; Honest Dave"
Fitzgerald, a former alderman and
ring official of New Haven, Conn,
and many others.
