Formal Call Issued for Caucus of Democratic Senators Next
 Tuesday
By HIGH ". ROBERTS

washington, April 22.-(special)-- Senate democrats for the election of a minority leader will caucus Tuesday morning at 10:sO o'clock. according to official announcement today. The chances are that Senator Hitchcock will retire from the race. and that Senator Underwood will be chosen leader unan- imously. If Senator Hitchcock makes stand, it will be hopeless. according to every indication
 Senator Swanson of Virginia, manag- ing the fight for Senator Hitchcock, said today to other senators that there would, be no fight. The Alabama sen ator will be the first man since Henry Clay, who after leading his party in the House, was chosen leader of his party in the Senate.

Speaker Gives
 Grimes Credit

New York, Oct. 6.-Manager Speak CT of the Indians, tonight gave full credit to Burleight Grimes, for his masterly pitching in today's game.
 "We could not hit with men on bases and Brooklyn had two batters who could," he said. q think that is the best reason 1 know of in doping out why we lost. Griffith hit safe- ly tcice with men in scoring dis tance, and Wheat turned the trick once. We had the chances to score more runs than Brooklyn, but Grimes would not let us, although it must be admitted we hit lot of balls hard.
 "I gave Grimes the credit. He is good pitcher. He has a great spit ball. He reminds me of Jack Quinn, of the Yankees, his splitter breaking more like Quinn's than does Cove leskie's or Sneakers. We may get him next time."
 Speaker said he intended to send in either Ray Caldwell of Walter Mails, his only left handler, to pitch tomorrow.

White, Phillips and Lee Counties, where the weevil damage was slight two years ago.
 There is very little complaint of labor conditions, and picking as a whole seems to be pretty we'll up with the ripening of the crop. In some places there are threats or fears expressed that owing to the lowered prices, much of the crop will not be picked. However, the up- lands in South and Central Arkan- sas are mostly picked, but in the bot toms all over the state the crop is late, and picking is consequently de- layed. The lowering of prices has caused considerable uneasiness and much Encouragement.
 Numbers of reports mentioned the superior color and quality of the lint this year, it being both winter and stronger than for several years past. Many producers also assert that there is noticeable increase in the length of the two prevcious years. The con- of lint in comparison with the crops less have much odo with the attain ment of these results.
 COTTON AVERAGES.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-10-07
Condition Jefferson County Cotton
 Crop Estimated at 65 Per Cent.

Little Rock, Ark. Oct. 6.-The Con- dition of Arkansas cotton crop on September 25, 1920, was 65 Pet. This condition forecasts an average yield of 1855 pounds of lint cotton per acre for the state as whole, with an indicated production of 1,116,O00 bales. The final outcome will be larger or smaller than this amount according as conditions hereafter are better or worse than average conditions. Last year the states production was 883,000 bales. The present outlook, there, is for a crop 26 Pet. greater in production than a year ago.
 Compared with month ago, there average deterioration for this period is points, but it still leaves the condition figure one point higher than the ten-year average figure of 64 for September 25, and point higher than the figure of year ago.
 The crop as whole is very spotted. Thus from Southern Arkansas reports from Drew, Clark, Cleveland, Colum- pia, and Nevada, Counties speak of the boil weevil damage as the warst ir years. This is undoubtedly true, but under boil weevil conditions damage is faily consistent, and pra- ctically no cotton is made after August 18th in this part of the state.
 In estimating the states crop, it must also be borne in mind that the Southern third of the state does not produces over 28 Pct. of the crop of the state. The big drop in probable production has occurred not in the boil weevil section, but in Northeastern Arkansas, where the condition figure has dropped some IA points. The heavy producing Eastern district has dropped 10 points, but the Central Western district has dropped only 8 points. Numbers of reports from this district speak of the crop as the best in years.
 There is practically no complaint of army worm damage, which was so prevalent year ago and caused such wide alarm. Itis apparent from reports that boil weevil damage, while increasing in severity in it's usual territory, has also made a further progression northward.
 There are now complaints from Independence and St. Francis Coun- ties, and increased complaints from
