FEAR CIVIL WAR
Washington Sees Revolution in

Washington. April 17.-Civil war
turnout Mexico between the forces of
President Carranza and Gen. Aware
Obregon, candidate for the Mexican
presidency, may break out il the fed
eral government proceeds to suppress
with military force the secessionist
movement in Sonora. officials here
feared today
The Sonora secession is primarily an
Obregon demonstration against the
Carranza government. military INTEL
ligenee officials here believed. They
pointed out that Gov. de La Huerta of
Sonora is a supporter of Obregon for
president and that Sonora is Obregonfs
native state The Sonora revolt may
enlist other Mexican states, they be-
lieve, and develop into an extensive
revolution against Carranza with the
object of making Obregon president.
The Mexican embassy here today
made public a list of state governors
who have given assurances of allie
glance to Carranza. Only a small per-
centage of the states was represented
The governors listed were Gustavo Es-
pinoza Mireles of Coahuila; Gen. Jose
Santos of Nuevo Leon: Manuel AL
varez Garcia of Colima; Aurelio Con
zales of Aguas Calientes. and Governor
Cantu of Lower California.
The possibility of Gen. Pablo Con
zales giving his support to Obregon
was speculated on by intelligence Of
ficers here. Gonzales is understood to
have been Carranza's candidate for the
presidency, but is believed to have
been angered by the support Carranza
gave Bonillas. former ambassador to
the United States. Gonzales was not
among the army generals listed by the
embassy as having assured allegiance
to Carranza.

Imagine the stately vistas of the
state house grounds covered with or
derby rows of white or brown tents.
That's the prediction of prominent
Topeka business man. He points out
that such a movement would have
other advantages than furnishing the
land for housing many persons unable
to find a place to live. Spring usually
witnesses the advent of a mighty crop
of dandelions on the state house
grounds. During the season of full
bloom the grounds are one vast ex-
panse of yellow. fading later to white
as the fuzzy seed balls come into
prominence.
Camping on the grounds would do
away with the dandelions. They could
not withstand the tramping of the
army of persons who would like to
camp on the ground.

cording to the prophet" round

SAYS AMERICA LACKS IDEALISM.
Borglum, Noted sculptor, Calls on Ma
ton to Consider Obligations.

The time has come when America,
which in 400 years of national ex-
istence has done little to lift civiliza-
ton above what it was 400 years ago,
must stop and consider the obligation
which she owes to herself and the
world. Gutzon Borglum, noted sculp-
tor. told his audience in MacVicar
chapel at Washburn college, Friday
afternoon.
Americans think very little of the
beauty of life and sadly lack idealism,
he said. Notwithstanding, America
has her great artists and people of
rare vision, and 1t is the duty of the
nation to foster and protect those
people, he declared.
During his talk he described the
work of carving the Assembly of the
Confederate Troops on the great
granite mountain near Atlanta, Ca,
as a monument to the confederacy.
Borglum superintends the work from
the window of his studio several hun
dred feet away.

offense, he cannot be surrendered, and
no demand for his eXtradition has
been received or is expected.

Reason for Wool Drop

- Demoralized exchanges in Central
Europe and the hold-over stocks Of
Great Britain, in the opinion of the
Irving National Bank in its mid-month
review for October, are largely respou-
slble for the present depression in wool
and woolen goods.
con June 30" says the review, "the
British government owned nearly g.
100000 bales Of $50 pounds each-or
nearly two years requirements for the
British mills: 1t is estimated that
there were 52S ,00OO 900 pounds of wool
in Australia on that date and the new
clip will amount to 100000 pounds
more. The uneasiness Of growers is
easily understandable therefore, as is
also the hesitancy of manufacturers
throughout the world until the trend
Of values becomes more definitely
known. The total clip of the wool
growing countries of the Southern
Hemisphere to be made this month is
put At 100000 600 pounds
I'm the United States there were on
August 1 about 700,00O,O coo pounds
more than full years supply. The
collapse Of wool prices has doubtless
contributed to the recession in cott&
values, since high priced wool stmu-
lated the substitution of cotton"

Increased Demand
For Curb Stocks
Gives Strong Tone
Substantial Gains i'm Many
Issues Follow Broadening
of Market; Independent
Oils Attract Attention

AS a res lit of suddenly awakened
demand for speculative stocks on the
curb market yesterday there was a
broadening tendency unsurpassed in
several weeks. Substantial gains were
recorded in a short time and, despite
profit taking before the end of the
session, a firm tone prevailed through
out trading.
Several of the independent oils were
features in the noticeable increase in
outside demand. Carib Syndicate,
which has enjoyed much popularity Of
late, was again the leader in the group,
with an advance to Is. Although buy
ers took profits on the rise, fractional
net advance was Geld on the final sale.
White Oil also continued upward, sell
ing at 2512 before reacting to 24A
the closing figure for the previous day
Many long neglected industrials were
fgain traded in, but the price trend
was somewhat irregular in this group,
although the tone was strong. Du
Pont de Nemours sold off slightly. as
eld Firestone Tire, which reached 100
IN the continued slump. Royal Baking
Powder also was weaker General
Asphalt. on the other hand, made a
fractional advance. Hercules Paper
showed a slight loss and Paige Detroit
was fractionally lower. Tobacco Prod

South Said to Suffer
From a Cotton Scare

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2O.-There is
nothing the matter with the South be-
yond an unreasoning scare in cotton
and no need for rushing for Federal
financial aid, according to statement
made public tonight by Henry G..
Hester, secretary of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange. 1t was prepared by
direction of the exchange "for the
benefit and encouragement of those who
are not fully informed"
The drastic decline of nearly 500 a
bale, or about 4S per cent, in the price
Of cotton since August /, Mr.. Hestcr
said, had been mainly due to the
pressure to sell on a shrinking market.
The decline, the statement said, sin
the aggregate probably constitutes the
greatest drop that has ever taken place
in the staple in any like period In the
last ten weeks more than million
bales Of spot cotton have literally been
thrown overboard.'"
Reverting to the buy-a- bale of cotton
movement of 1914, Mr.. Hester said the
South without outside aid and when
infinitely poorer than at present, had
met the situation. He asked why, after
four seasons "in which our raw cotton,
including the seed, has exceeded in
value $7,970,000, ,000,' the South should
balk at carrying few million bales
during a temporary lul in demand.

Lumber Price Slurnb

Unwillineness of Wholesalers
to Buy in Present Market
Held ReepOnsihIc

Fifty per cent of the sawnils on
the Pacific Coast will be Idle by the
end Of this month unless the price
landslide in lumber prices is checked.
Approximately so per cent of the
smaller mills IN the South already have
closed and others are curtailing pro
ducton These faces are vouched for
by A. r. Krlcchbaum, Eastern editor
Of Lumber, published at st. Louis The
reason for the close downs, according
to Mr.. Kriechbaum, is the inability of
Tie producers to make a profit on their
products.
The retail yards in greater New
York are not buying lumber in any
volume" he said. This is due, first,
TO the fact that lumber which they
purchased six months ago at peak
prices, is only now being delivered,
having been delayed by the car short
egc and otherwise demoralizcd trans
portation conditions; second, due to
the fact that the dealers can see no
immediate dsmand for their goods, and
they are not willing to pile up lumber
III their yards under such uncertain
conditions, especially with reference to
building activity.
"Practlcally all Of the small sawmills
which sprang up during the boom last
winter and which depend entirely upon
wholesalers to market their product,
Lave been forced to close and their
lumber has been thrown on the market t

Cotton Continues
Higher ON Active
Buying by Shorts
Optimistic Views of Bankers
and Reports of Progress
in Holding Movement Are
Factors. in the Advance

Trading in cotton was less active
yesterday and fluctuations we're irregu-
lar, but prices advanced sharply toward
the close on reports that reassurng
opinions as to financial and commercial
prospects had been expressed by bank
ers in convent,n n at Washington. De-
cember contracts sold up from 1886 to
1911 and closed at 1895, with the gen.
eral market closing firm at a net ad-
vance of as to 81 points.
There was continuation of Tues
days rally at the opening, first prices
being 35 to 80 points higher, generally
IS to 81 points above the previous
close. Covering was stimulated by the
continued firmness Of Liverpool, the
smaller volume of overnight selling or
ders from the South and unsettled
weather conditions in the Southwest,
but the advance met realizing by re-
cent buyers and prices weakened dur
ing the middle of the day.
Liverpool cables said the advance
there was the result Of Manchester and
continental buying IN the absence OF
hedge selling. and houses with Liver
pool connections were buyers around
the local ring. Some of the Southern
mills were reported buying to fix prices,
but any tendency of Southern spot
markets to stiffen was considered more
largely the result of holding than of
Improvement in demand.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were so points lower to so
points higher, with the recently weak
Southwestern markets showing rallies.
Middling quotations now range from
1900 to 22.0), comparing with 1880,
the closing quotations for October con-
tracts in the local market.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 20.50; no sales
were reported.
