marks of violence, detectives searched
to-day for evidence as TO how the
wealthy mining promoter came TO his
death
Officers previously had expressed che
theory that Denton had been shot or

TRAVELLING ON. PUBLIC
MONEY, CHARGE MADE
AGAINST OFFICIALS
UNITED STATES SHOULD
SHIP COTTON GOODS
And Not Merely Send Raw Cotton, Ac-
cording to Plea of Daniel E,
Douty Before National As
sociation of Cotton
Manufacturers.

Maplewood N. H., Sept. "a, The
need for export trade in the cotton in
dustry of this country was urged to-
day by speakers at the semi-annual
meeting OF the National Association OF
Cotton Manufacturers
Daniel Il. Douty of New York as
serted that America should distribute
cetton goods to the world in place
of raw cotton" and added that "the
time has passed when the cotton man
ufacturers can, hear with Indifference
the appeal of the southern planter for
fair price which will yield him a
just return A tariff wall will protect
our domestic markets, the speaker con
tinued, but will not secure foreign
trade, and will assist in the eompeti-
tion in foreign markets only by taxing
domestic consumers, in order to sell
at lower prices abroad.
Pointing to recent movements in
England and Japan toward eonsolida
tion of cotton interests, Mr.. Douty said
that in the manufacturers association
lay "the foundation for the type of
mutual organization which can produce
for the American cotton industry the
results which we desire"
Oscar X. Davis of New York, secre-
tary of the national foreign trade coun.
ell. said:
"The cotton manufacturing industry
of Europe is rapidly approaching its
pre- war output and soon America will
be faced by the fiercest competition in
the cotton buying markets of the
world. Great Britain, Japan, Italy and
Germany are devoting their best ener-
gies to securing the trade, and only
Systematic campaign out on broad lines
can successfully meet the competitive
conditions that prevail in foreign mar
kets.
I'VE have reached the period of in
dustrial development in the United
States, where foreign trade has be-
come distinctly and uncontestably a
matter Of national service. We shall
not enjoy stable conditions AT home,
we shall not maintain domestic pros
perity unless we maintain our foreign !
trade. We have attained the degree
Of production where we must either |
sell largely and continuously abroad |
n endure stagnation and disaster at
nome.
The foreign exchange situation was
discussed by DR.. b, r. Anderson, jr.,
If New York He said that continued
'iolent fluctuations in the exchange
'ates were inevitable because of the
abandonment 81 the gold standard in
europe. The speaker pointed out meth
IDS by which exporters and importers
'ould avoid these risks, either through
insisting on confirmed dollar credits in
he United States or through hedging
by which exporters sell for
ign exchange for future delivery at
he moment they make their contracts
n by Which importers purchase for
ign exchange for future delivery at
he time they make their contracts to
import goods
