SPAIN SHUT OFF AS A
MARKET FOR COTTON NOW

Washington, April 7.-Spain is
apparently shut off as a market for
American cotton for the time being
according to Commercial Attache
Charles H. Cunningham at Madrid,
who informed the department of
commerce today that Spain was over
stocked with cotton and cotton tex
tiles. Under normal circumstances,
he declared Spain would at this sea-
son of the year be able to consume
about 100000 more bales of Ameri-
can cotton but there is now q sur
plus which will probably last about
six months.

N. Y. POLICE PLAN
DRIVE ON WHISKEY

New York, April 7.-Saloon keep
ers who derived comfort last night
from the fact that despite widely
heralded police drive, things were
"as usual" with dispensers of illegal
drinks, got shock today when they
learned the police drive had not
started--but would start in earnest
today.
First Deputy Police Commission.
er Leach announced this morning
that he and Acting Chief Inspector
Murphy had spent virtually the en-
tire night drawing up a formal or.
der to the city's 1900 policemen:
putting into effect the state enforce
ment laws signed Monday by Cover
nor Miller.
The order, as drawn, directs the
police to employ call of the force
vested in them as police officers,
in preventing sale or transportation
of intoxicants, the deputy commits
sioner said.
1T looks like a dark day for the
home brewer, too," Mr.. Leach said.
"Any paraphernalia or ingredient
for use in the manufacture of illegal
home brew may be seized, even in
transportation. We will have. search
warrants when it is necessary to en-
ter homes"

quart bottle of confiscated liquor
exploded in the pocket Of a detec-
tive.
The detective stood before the
magistrate supporting a man, who,
with bowed head, was confessing
that he had partaken too freely Of
the brew that intoxicates.
"Where's the evidence?" asked
The court.
The detectives hand moved to-
ward his pocket. Followed loud re-
port, some one shouted "bomb" and
4 rush for the exits began. The de-
tective was hurled to the floor, as
was his prisoner. The magistrate
and others in the court gathered
outside, returning only when ap-
prised Of the cause of the explosion.
The next defendant on the doc
tet, a father Of ten, still tremb-
ling as a result Of the explosion
scare, took a pledge to abstain
forever and ever"
More than 20 men were arrested
on charges Of violation Of the liquor
laws during the first nights activi-
ties Of the police department. .

ton in Spain, Mr.. Cunningham said
that New York has taken the place
Of Liverpool as buying center due
to the establishment of American
banks in Spain. Efforts are being
made by the British to regain their
lost trade, he asserted, but the Span,
ish importers see the advantage in
buying their cotton with dollars and
making one conversion of exchange
instead Of two. To meet this situa.
ton, Mr.. Cunningham said, the Bri.
tish banks are giving direct quota
tions in dollars and frequently at 8
better rate than American insti
tutions.

GENERAL PERSHING
TO GET HIGH PLACE
Probably Be Ambasador to Toxic Or
In Charge of Entire u. s. Army

Washington, April 7.-Secretary
Weeks recent statement that he
would announce shortly detail in
duty for General Pershing "com'
mensurate with his rank has caused
considerable interest and specula-
ton in the War Department. Sever
al possible assignments for General
Pershing, whose rank as general OF
the army places him above any rou'
tine detail, have been discussed by
officials, it was said today.
It has been rumored that the gen.
eral would retire to accept diplo'
matte post, probably that of ambas-
sador to Japan to succeed Roland
Morris, whose resignation President
Harding recently accepted. It is un-
derstood that this would be the
most acceptable diplomatic post
General Pershing could be offered
His service three years ago as Uni
ted States military attache would
tend to qualify him for the position,
it has been pointed out. Another dip
lomatic post mentioned for him is
Paris, but it is believed that if given
his choice, he would prefer Toxic at
this time.
On the other and, a large number
of army officers believe that General
Pershing will either be made chief
of staff to succeed Major General
Peyton C. March or that Secretary
Weeks will seek from Congress legis
lation placing the entire army on a
field basis with him as general Of the
army at the head of the organization
In the event that such a course
should be followed, it was pointed
out, the general would have a chief
of staff exactly as he had Major Gen
eral Harbored as his principal as
sistant and chief Of staff in direct
ing the American Expeditionary
Forces during the war.
Another assignment frequently
mentioned in connection with Gener-
al Pershing, is that of governor-gen-
eral of the Philippines, but it is be-
lieved that such a detail would not
be acceptable to him. A tour of the
world under the credentials of an
envoy extraordinary, similar to the
tours made by the allied leaders af-
ter the war, also has been mention
ed.

NOT TO ENCOURAGE Sc
LARGE CROP NOW
Rhett Opposes Immediate Market For
Cotton-Would Plant More.

Washington, AApril 5.-Southern
bankers in their preliminary confer
ence with the war finance corpora
ton today heard R. G.. Rhett, pres;-
dent of the Peoples National bank
of Charleston, inject the only topic
which led to subsequent controversy.
iMr. Rhett declared that it would
be very hurtful to the South were an
immediate market for the consump-
ton of cotton produced. It was his
point that no help should be ex-
tended until after the planting sea-
son because, he contended, if the
price of cotton advanced before thhe
new crop was planted, the new would
be as large as the old.
Senator Pat Harrison Of Missis.
sippi, following the meeting, de,
clared that the position Of Mr.. Rhett
was untenable because if help was
delayed 80 days, thousands of people
in the South would be ruined.
Representative W. B. Oliver OF
Alabama, was inclined to agree with
Mr.. Rhett to the extent that an in.
crease in the price Of cotton prior
20 the planting would influence farm
ers to plant more cotton than they
otherwise would plant.
Senator N. B. Dial of outh Caro-,
lima did not take issue with Mr.
2hett, but expressed the idea that
his point should not be unduly en-
phasized.
"I was delighted with the, meet
ing" said Senator Dial. "The atti,
tude of the managing director of the
war finance corporation. Secretary
Hoover, Secretary Mellon, and the
governor of the federal reserve
board was inspiring. I was es
pecially pleased with the suggestion
that an agreement be reached where
by Germany could use its billion
dollar credit in the United States in
the purchase of cotton. I was deep
ly impressed, also with the suggestion
of Governor Harding that American
bankers obtain securities of foreign
countries, ON long time, and check
against them in financing the
Southern farmer"
Mr.. Rhett in his remarks declared
that he had recently driven over
extensive South Carolina territory
and found it all plowed and ready
for the seed, the intimation being
that the farmers were not materially
reducing their acreage. He added
however, that not more than 40 per
cent. Of the fertilizer purchased last
spring had been purchased this
pr;ng.

or thirty cents will save a life for a
month. The goal. Of the Southern
committee of the China Famine

composed of missionaries, consular
officials and international business
