acted before Queen Elizabeth, who
was very much pleased with him.

SEEK INFORMATION OF
CHINA'S COTTON INDUSTRY

More trustworthy information az
to cotton production and consump'
lion in China is expected to be made
available as a result of a recent con-
ference between Mr.. Chunjen c.
Chen and officials of the Bureau OF
Markets and Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture
Mr.. Chen, since his graduation from
Cornell University, has spent much
OF his time during the past two OF
three years in and about the Depart.
ment of Agriculture and at southern
experiment stations in an intensive
study of cotton breeding, marketing
and allied subjects under the pat
roaage of the Chinese Cotton Mill
Owners Association.
On Mr.. Chen's return to China in
June he will undertake for the asso'
citation to develop the cotton indus
try of that country on a scientific
basis. Among his plans he now hopes
to have the association undertake
cotton statistical work along the
same lines as that now carried on by
I the United States Department OF
Agriculture.
At present no trustworthy statis-
| tics Of cotton are obtainable from
China, SO this project. is expected to
prove of great value to this country,
especially since Mr.. Chen also hopes
to be, able to produce American Up
land long stapes in China. It is now
estimated that China produces annu-
ally about 100000 bales of short
staple cotton, practically all of which
is consumed locally, such long staple
as is consumed being imported in the
form of combed yarns.
In growing long staple cotton, how
ever, it is possible that China may
become competitor of the United
States in the world market, provided
enough were produced for export.
Accurate cotton statistics would keep
the trade in this country informed
as to the amount Of cotton being
grown and the size Of China's ex-
ports and imports which would en-
able American dealers to handle
their product more intelligently-U.

FREIGHT CHARGES
GIVEN ATTENTION

Washington, June 2.-While rail-
road executives were pressing be-
fore congress today their plea for
relief from financial embarassments,
President Harding took direct &C
ton to satisfy himself that a re.
vision of feright rates, particularly
on necessities, would be a part of
the general railway readjustment
Walking unannounced into the
office of the interstate commerce
commission, the president inquired
of the commissioners what they
were doing toward the relief OF
shippers who had found some Of the
present rates unreasonably burden
some. He was assumed that the whole
subject was under investigation and
that the commission hoped soon to
effect broad revision through the
voluntary action of the roads. The
hauling charges for fruit products
over Western roads were made a
specific example by Mr.. Harding in
pressing his inquiries. The commits.
sion officials replied that the fruit
schedules already were receiving in
formal consideration.
Although it was indicated that
the question of rates prompted the
presidents call ON tbs commission,
it was assumed that during the hah
hours conference mention also was

tracts trades won their fight against
section requiring the indicating
or denaturing Of alcohol, prior to
its withdrawal from warehouses and
distilleries for manufacturing pur-
poses.
Chairman Volstead, by direction
of the committee, introduced late TO-
day a redraft Of his bill, slightly
modified in some particulars. The
section prohibiting importation and
manufacture of liquor until the
stocks held under government super
vision have been materially re-
duced, or exhausted, was retained.
The redrafted measure, while
placing certain restrictions around
tie use Of wines in medicines, did
not include the original provisions
which would have outlawed wine as
medicine along with beer. It pro-
vides, however, for the limitation
of alcohol Withdrawals for medicines
and gives the commissioner authori-
ty, if he finds that any preparation
is being used as a beverage, to re-
quire change of formula 50 that 1T
would be rendered actually unfit for
drinking.

made of the roads proposal that the
government discharge at once its
debt to them growing out Of federal
control. This proposal was renewed
before the senate interstate COM
merce committee during the day by
Samuel Rea, president Of the Penn
sylvania lines, who argued that such
action would be no more than in
keeping with the word of the gov
eminent given at the time the roads
were taken over. The suggestion is
known to have received careful con-
sideration by the president and his
advisers, and was the subject of a
conference yesterday between Mr..
Harding Chairman Cummings Of the
Interstate commerce committee and
DR.. Jen Davis of the railroad ad-
ninistration.
In visiting the interstate COM
merce commission today Mr.. Hard
ing technically was dealing with a
part OF the government entirely
outside the executive branch, and
he assured the commissioners that
he had come simply in the interest
Of cooperation and general vel.

communicate with congress regard

he might enjoy the same privilege

as the agent Of congress IN the max
ing of rates .... =, g.

Washington, June 2.-Various in
ternal revenue laws enacted prior
TO adoption of the 18th amendment
and designed to cover illicit distill-
ing have been superseded and an
Hulled by the amendment and the
Yclstead act, the supreme court
held today.
The court sustained the United
States district court in Oregon in
qaashing an Indictment under the
old statutes against Boze Yuginovich
and Cousin Boze Yuginyovch on the
ground that, no offense had been
charged under the Volstead act.
Miss Annette Adams, assistant at
torney general, who appeared fol-
tie government in arguing the case
before the supreme court, said the
effect of the decision would be to
abate prosecution in a number of
cases in which indictments were
aimisarly based and possibly cause
the remittance of fines imposed in
cases already decided contrary to
today's ruling. r
On the other hand. Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Sa-
loon League Of America, took the
stand tonight that the decision
would serve as further support for
the dry forces. In the, course Of its
opinion, the court agreed with the
sower tribunal in holding that "cou-
: gress manifested, an intention to
tax liquor Illegally as well as legally
produced" rr

In Wall Street
June Railroad Earnings

II seems now practically sure that
the total net earnings Of the Class 1
railroads for the month Of June will
be in the neighborhood or exceed $780,
10000. Reports from 191 roads out
of total of a little more than 200
show total net operating income Of
SAG, 1886 900, compared with q deficit in
the corresponding month year ago of
15.s9s,000. AS has been indicated by
the individual statements thus far
made public, the increase in net is due
to a saving in operating expenses
rather than gain in gross. June gross
for the roads thus far reporting was
s451, 436,00O, decrease of S31 ,S31 900.
while operating expenses were reduced
S106, 434,000. A favorable feature of
the June reports was that the roads
were able to cut down their operating
costs heavily, although the July l wage
cut had not yet become effective. In
the fall, however, it is believed that
expenses for maintenance will again be
heavier, because of the larger traffic in
moving the crops.

Market Turns

Early Gains
Dizziness Increases as Stocks
Are Offered at Con-
cessions {; Movement in
Rail Shares Disappoints

The stock market started out yester-
day with an increasing volume Of. &C
tivity and display of vigor in the
railway list which extended for time
to the industrial group. On this early
movement several representative rails
moved into new high ground, while a
number of the more active industrial
issues were taken in hand and marked
up sharply. The tendency, however,
was short-lived, for around midday the
market f1attened out and turned dull
ana irregular, moving narrowly and
without definite trend until the last
hour, when offerings increased and
prices yielded generally. The late
afternoon setback wiped out most Of
the early gains and the market closed
under the level of the previous dav.
Dealings approximated half a million
shares
The movement in the rail group was
somewhat disappointing in view of the
general feeling that these shares are in
q strong position and the recovery
should go considerably further. No
doubt some of the afternoon selling in
the rails yesterday was for profit-tak-
ing purposes. The average of twenty
representatives rail stocks closed at
6565, against 66.40 the day before.
Industrial shares pursued an irrer-
ular course after the early display of
strength. Stocks about which there is
uncertainty as to dividends came under
special pressure in the afternoon.
Mexican Petroleum was one of the
early points of strength, but it receded
rapidly In the closing half hour when
all of the forenoon rally was cam
celled.
