 WAR ADJUSTMENT
Promising Organization Resolved Upon by Pan-PaCifC Table

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. 1e,-Ar International court Of arbitration whose purpose and function shall be the avoidance of war, and the peace fu settlement of international dis putes," is formally resolved upon by the PanAmericsn Round Table of San Antonio, according 10 announce ment today by Florence T. Griswold, director general.
 Dispatches from Washington re- gently giving prominence to a pro- posed American League of Nations have occasioned the sending of letter by the director general of the local Round Table to pr. L. & Rowe, di- rector general of the Pan-American Union, Washington, and President Brum of Uruguay South America suggesting that an-American court Of arbitration would be of greater significance The republics of South America, for many years, frequently have made effective use of the prin- cples of arbitration reads a resolu- ton of the local body, sent to Wash ington, and in one instance the pres ident Of the United States rendered the services of this country alone, or in conjunction with other countries of this hemisphere, to render all pos sibe assistance in solving an interna- tional dispute between Chile and Peru"
 Favor Mexican Peace.
 It also is the earnest desire of the local body, based on its proximity and closeaess of connection with Mexico, to stimulate a stronger friendship with Mexico by creating a common ground where our people can meet with Mexicans for the purpose of solving our international problems upon a basis of free acceptance by the people and not upon basis of the material interests of any favored group" .
 The American Round Table of San Antonio, its officials declared, in vite the cooperation of the PanAm- erican Union. the Pan-Ameriean so- ciety of the United States, the Pan American department of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and other organizations leading to the creation of the pro- posed court of arbitration, to bring about peaceful settlement of interna- tional disputes in the western heni- sphere, officials declared.

 because of the interest in the presi- dential election and the fact that women were voting for the first time gave for governor:
 Parkhurst (r) 133,313
 Mcintyre, (d) 69,235.
 The missing precincts cast less than 5000 votes in 1920 when the republican plurality for governor was 65,346
 Latest returns on the congressional vote show majorities for the four present representatives from Maine, all republicans, ranging from 4,2oo to 10000, as compared with republican margins ranging from 14oo0 to 19,- 900 in 1920
 Both Sides Pleased
 Governor Baxter said that the ma jorities given the republican candi- dates were entirely satisfactory and about what conservative political ob- servers expected. MT. Pattangall as serted that the campaign had put the democratic party in good shape to make the fight in 1924" and said that returns which he had compiled showed that the democrats had in creased their membership in the state legislature from 15 to 40 or 50 in the house and from no senators to three.
 One Woman Elected.
 One woman, Mrs. Dora B. Pinkham of Fort Kent was elected to the state house of representatives. She is a republican. Miss Nettie c. Burleigh republican, of Winslow, was defeat ed for representative by margin of only Is votes.
 The women went to the polls in large numbers but the vote for the men fell far behind that of 1920. The total vote was about 30,000 less than that of two years ago, the /repubh cans losing about 33,00o and the dem ocrats gaining 5000.

CROP DAMAGE PUTS
COTTON FUTURES UP
Prices Rise $3.50 a Bale on
Unfavorable Reports From
Growing Districts.

About s3.5 per bale was added to the
price Of cotton at one time yesterday as
tho result OF an unusually strong trade
demand and aggressive speculative sup
port influenced by renewal Of un-
favorable crop reports from nearly, al.
parts OF the belt.
Texas and Oklahoma were said To be
suffering from dry weather and other
parts OF the belt from crop injury by
boil weevil and army worms. while In
the Atlantic States there were com
plants of too much rain. Little en-
couragement was found In the forecasts,
which indicated fair. warm weather for
the Southwest and more rain In the
East. From a weather standpoint. con-
ditions were quite bullish and had con-
siderable effect on local sentiment.
THE fact that trade interests seemed
willing to continue their buying at thes,
levels, however, was regarded as the
main factor of strength during the day
and it led 10 active Wall Street and
Western support. Most OF tho commits
sion houses enjoyed an increase of busi-
ness as a result of the rise in prices.
and during the early afternoon October
contracts sold as high as 21.f2 and the
March delivered at 21.26.
Late In the day. however. these prices
seemed to attract a good deal Of local
selling on the idea that 1t was question:
able, In the disturbed condition OF gen.
erai trade and the dry goods situation
In particular, If mills would follow the
rise much further. Reactions Of 20 10
20 points occurred as result of this
pressure, to which was added the usual
Southern hedge selling near the close,
SO that final prices were from 10 to IS
points net higher. with the tone barely
steady.
Weekly statistics lacked the foreign
figures because of cable trouble. but
the American takings were large as
compared with the previous week ana
last year. Early in the day Liverpool
cables showed a strong undertone and
sharp advance. which was attributed
chiefly 10 a mov3,ent toward adjust
Ing the differences between the two
markets, which have been out of line
for some time, owing to cable delays.
The local market for spot cotton was
steady and 45 points higher at 2l.40 for
middling; sales nil. The New Orleans
market was quiet, 3S points higher at
H.13, Its sales were 1l5 bales.

Doubts Reported Soviet Deal.

Mr.. Teagle was asked as to recent
statements crediting the International
BarnsdalI Corporation with effecting an
arrangement with the Soviet Govern
ment for exclusive rights to drill for oil
ir the Baku field and TO Join with Rus
sa In the marketing OF all products in
the Trans-Caucasian countries.
i know nothing of such an arrange
ment' said Mr.. Teagle. "The Inter-
national Barnsdall Corporation IL not
connected directly or Indirectly with the
Standard OIL Company of New Jersey.
nor does any association or relationship
~ any kind obtain. and would be IN
clined 10 doubt the reports for the reason
that / cannot conceive of any American
interest risklng capital in Russia until
the conditions laid down by our state De-
partment and by Great Britain are full
iiIi@A.
MY understanding is that the represen.
tatives OF Russia at The Hague asked
for an opportunity TO reconsider the
situation and place before their own
Government the attitude OF the Western
nations, which has been SO clearly set
forth.
The New York herald., 1922-08-12
Change In Attitude Hintea.

ut is now entirely possible that the
attitude of the Russian Government will
change. for Russia has now been made
tc understand clearly the Inevitable
character of the economic considerations
which must preeede cooperation with
Russia by other nations. Moreover the
Soviet Government has found that much
of the property which has been national
ICED is not productive. Therefore
nothing has been gained by the expro-
priation. Thus the very large amounts
which the Russian Government formerly
received from the Baku oil fields In
royalties have been very largely reduced
by the contraction In the output from
these fields. The situation az a whole
cannot be better expressed than In tho
language I heard uttered I'm London by
distinguished statesman, who said
" Russia Is mistress or her own fate.
The facts are plain and the way IL
clear, and L am optimistic enough TO
hope that her decision will be right and
wise,r

Accords with U. q. Policy.

There are concerned in developing
the oil resources Of Russia, In addition
to the Standard. the Shell Company
and various Belgian, French and Eng
lislr groups The Standards interest
is as partner OF the oNobels. and its
position in respect to that country is
neither complicated nor secret 1t Is
In minute accord with the policy ea-
tablfshed by our State Department, IN
which policy the British Government
has recently acquiesced.
The British statement of policy was
contained In report to the House OF
Commons while ! was In London by
Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame. head OF the
British delegation to The Hague. upon
The negotiations with the Russians at
that conference. Sir Philip then stated
that British participation rested upon
compliance by the Russians with three
essential conditions. namely: One. the
Russian Government must acknowledge
the right OF foreign owners OF property
In Russia to have their property re-
stored or to receive adequate compensa-
tion; two. the compensation must be
real. three, there must be effective ma
chinefy to secure the fulfilment OF the
obligation. That was nj, exact restAte-

U. s. POLICY IS SIMILAR
B0lsheviki Have Gained Moth
ing by appropriation, He
Points Out.

The policy of the Standard Oil Com
pany OF New Jersey with respect to
operations and development in Russia
was set forth yesterday by Walter c.
Ieagle president, who has just re-
turned from abroad Until the Rus
sian Government either restores pri-
vate property or gives complete COM
rensation for nationalised property. he
said, no private investment in the fur
ther exploitation of Russian oil can
wisely be made.
Nr. Teagle had been in London con-
sulting with branch managers in Eu-
rope. He denied reports that he had
been invited to attend petroleum
conference at The Hague with the
Russian interests.
In statement issued after his re-
turn yesterday, Mr.. Teagle said:
THE economic Importance of Rus
sia's oil fields is indicated by the cir
cumstance that from 1898 to 1901 the
production there compared favorably
with that of the United States. Be-
tween 1901 and 1906 the country produced
about 3s per cent. of the worlds pro-
duction As a result Of the revolution
the production of 1916 to 1920 was re-
duced to little under per cent. Of
the total. A fairly authoritative esti-
mate placed the pre-war value of the
investment in petroleum development at
over s1.5o0,O00,oOo. Upon the advent OF
the Russian Soviet Government all this
PROPERTY was confiscated and placed
under Government control and opera
ton without compensation TO the
owners
