HENRY WATTERSON
DIES in FLORIDA

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 22.-Henry
Watterson, one of the country's best
known Journalists, and former pub
Usher of Louisville Courier-Journal,
died at his hotel early today on his
sannual winter visit here. He had been
i'll six weeks, but his death was unex-
pected. !&
rs Watterson died peacefully re-
tanning coRsciousness almost to the
end and conversing during the last
half hour with his wife, son and
daughter. His death was due to heart
failure superinduced by lung conges-
tion. He will be buried in Kentucky.
Henry Watterson was one of the
last of the old time personal journal
lists. More than half a century his
editorials, with their brilliant, orig
inal and phrase-making composition,
attracted wide attention. They were
scommented on and copied by the press
of the. nation. Besides his power in
molding piblic opinion through his
editorials Watterson's influence is
credited with having shaped the plat
form of the Democratic party in more
than one presidential campaign.
It was perhaps through an accident
that Henry Watterson pursued jour
nalisni. Early in life he evinced un-
usual musical talent and his parents
encouraged it. A mishap that crushed
his left thumb, leaving that member
stiff, caused the musical education to
be abandoned, as the piano was his
favorite instrument.
A natural bent for writing develop

seriously handicapped as an illness in

course in complete submission to the
Federal government.

which he coined, and which finally was
adopted by the Democratic party. He

COTTON FIGURES
FOR THE WORLD

Washington, Dec. 21.-World pro-
ductlon of commercial cotton for
l92l.22 was placed at 1888 900 bales
by the department of agriculture in
report made public tonight. This
Is the smallest crop since 1900, the
report stated, and compares with 90

Two OF the most important cotton
producing countries the United
states ana Egypt suffered crop dis

asserted, producing only 6I.4 per cent

or 1867 600 bales less than was pro-
duced in 1920. The cotton crop in
CHINA, South America, Mexico and
other countries, while said to be not
so important commercially, was re
ported smaller than usual. Russia,
which immediately before the wal
produced around 100000 laltS an
nually, has practically ceased To
grow cotton, the report stated.
l'rlces Tor cotton in the United
states were forced down below pro.
duction cost last year, the report
said, because of the forced shuttiny
down of spinning and weaving estab
lishments in the principal manutac-
turing countries. Reduced cosump-
ton, occasioned by the inability of
Russia, Turkey and many oil or coun-
tries in Europe and throughout thc
world to buy cotton cloth since the
war, it was explained, nrtrSSitatcI
the closing of world mills. American
farmers, confronted with a large
carry-over, last spring volm ar.ly rr-
duced their cotton acreage. i, was
pointed out, and the yield was further.
reduced because "comparati\ civ little
fertilizer was used and because OF
boil weevil ravages over practically
the entire cotton belt" The Amer
can crop also was seriously hampered
by unfaVorable weather conditions
over the cotton belt, the report fur
ther explained. Egypt was said to
have been affected by much the same
conditions.
The production in the United States
for 1921 was estimated at S,34O,OOO
bales of 478 pounds net, as compared
with $4,000 in 1920, IL, ,42l 900 in
1919 and 16,135,OOO in 1914. For
Egypt the 1921 production was esti-
mated at 6S4, 900 bales, as compared
with 1,251,O00 in 1920, 1,l5iU0 in
1919 and 1887 900 in 1914.
For British India the figures were
3,623, 900 bales for 1921, as compared
with 2,845,000 for 1920, 4,637 900 for
1919 and 4,167,00 for 1914. British
Africa estimates for 1921 were 49,
600 bales, as compared with $1,000
in 1920, $4,000 for 1919 and $4,000
for 1914. The estimates for Russia,
however, were only $4,000 for this

TESTIMONY SCARCE
in WATSON HEARING

Washington, Dec. 21.-Because of
the absence of half dozen witnesses
summoned to appear today, the SEN
ate committee Investigating charges
by Senator Watson (Democrat) of
Georgia that American soldiers had
been hanged in France without trial

statements made heretofore in letters
to Senator Watson and others that
they had first-hand knowledge of il
legal executions.

pectation that the missing witnesses
might turn up In the afternoon, a sec
ond session was held but the roll was
called and none answered. Senator

that in order to make TIE investiga-
ton as sweeping as possible, war de-
pdTIneHC OllclalS would De ca. led TO
take up each alleged case of brutal
ity or murder. It was again made
clear that some of the hangings wit
messed by former service men included
the execution of II soldiers put to
death after trial by courtmartial.

today-Marion j. Wallis Of Athens,
Ga.-did not serve overseas, his testi-
mony relating entirely to the alleged
killing of private by corporal at
Camp Wheeler, Ga, in 1918. War de-
partment records, to determine
