OILY MPIC GAMES
NOW ASSURED
FOR FRANCE
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, April l.-france is
practically sure now to be the scene
Of the 1924 Olympic games. For sew
eral months during which two or three
committees were battling among them
selves it seemed that Paris would have
10 default and that Los Angeles could
step in as the pinch hitter.
All the warning factions in Paris
have come to peaceful terms, according
to late cable news and the Olympic
committee viii go ahead and try "to
make the best out of poor material"
When the French "lobby' was work
ing among the international delegates
in Antwerp, the Parisians said "let us
have the games and we will show you
how to put them on. And there is
Paris, too, after the games.
The committee did have ambitious
designs, but it says now that it will
have to take backwater when it comes
to furnishing some of the promised
trimmings because they are couple
of million francs shy of the amount
they figured OH and they have to do
over the Pershing stadium, something
they hadn' counted on.
All the Americans who were around
Paris during the "interalied meets -
agree with the French committee that
the Pershing stadium is not the place
for the Olympic games.
With funds supplied by the "Y,'
the American army engineers put the
stadium up in something like ten days
back in 1919 just to show how Yanks
can work on a year S job.
Since then the stadium hasn t been
touched and it is about call in - The
track was found short of its distance
and the drainage was never good. To
do it over as it will have to be done,
will cost more than Il new stadium like
the one i'll Antwerp.

MOVIES ATTACKED
 AT CHURCH MEET
Minister Claims Protestant
 Pastors Are RidicuIed in Motion Pictures
By Associated Press

Des Moines. May 23-Waving a let ter from William "Bill' Hart, two gun motion picture star, before 500 Presbyterian commissioners of the 134th general assembly here today, Rev. Gustav Briegleb of Pasadena, Cal, charged that film interests were ridiculing Protestant pastors in their pictures in retaliation for the cen sorship campaign being conducted against them by Protestant denomina- tions.
 Harts letter was in reply to one from the minister. who is movie cen sor on the Pacific coast, protesting against a picture in which 8 pastor Is portrayed as robbing a stage coach In order to complete the construction Of q small church. Hart, who Is author of the scenario in question wrote that he admired "a man brave enough to go ahead with his gooo work although 1t involves robbing Htage coach"
 Later in the picture the pastor IS caught by q posse. Hart saves him from hanging by cutting the rope with shot from his pistol. Show me film which ridicules or insults a Catholic priest or Jewish rabbi in this manner" shouted pr. Brfegleb. Their insults are aimed ht us." Twice his speaking tune was extended.
 The attack on motion pictures made by the committee on the ap- pearance and moral welfare in It's report earlier in the day, gave only h hint of the storm which burst when pr. .Briegleb of the subcommittee on movies, took the platform. He point ed to a scene from one picture in which a woman Is bitten on the breast by a viper. The hero. un- daunted by convention, tears off her bodies and sucks the poison from the wound.
 why, if the motion picture mems intentions are so moral, did the di- rector not have the viper bite the woman on the wrist" asked pr. Briegleb.
 Boycot of the actress showing ob- jectionable films, and national cen sorship at the point of production, based upon federal law. were urged by the resolution adopted.

$. R. STEWART < CO.'S LETTER


 Birmingham, May 23-Liverpool quotations came over slightly better than due this morning with fairly good sales of 12,0OO bales Cables stated while the business continued good the demand was slowing down. The early weather map showed fair over most of the belt but unsettled in many localities. The initial figures in our market were slightly above last nights close on the better cables but the trading was somewhat mixed and small in volume resulting in a narrow scalping affair for the day the close. however, was 10 to 20 points under yesterdays. The J. W. Jay & Co. report on the condition ot the crop at 65 and increase i'll acreage of per cent was the inn Iortant news item of the day. These figures were very buliish but fell disappointingly flat on the market, Fears of heavy notices tomorrow, the last day for the May New York op- ton, and a possible collapse in it's premium when shorts are all through had something to do with the set back in the afternoon. Some. predict ed notices tomorrow might total as high as o000 bales. The weather details showed heavy rains In the central belt but less in Texas; private reports from the latter state were very unfavorable. We continue to advocate the purchase of cotton on all good recessions.-S. k. Stewart X Go.

New York, May 2s.-(Speeiaf. J.
 Ihere are two major factors oper- ating to maintain present price of cotton and to establish higher prices as season progresses. One is the un- satisfied deferred demand for rem nant of past crops and the other the weather perils and boil weevil men ace to new crop, now only partially planted. During the last two months students of the cotton situation have been perplexed by reason of indiffer- ence of consumers to constantly d. minishing reserves and their strange conviction that political disorders in western Europe are portent of the inability of people of the world to procure essentials of life.
 National economy is disorganized In more than one. country, but people of all nations have considerable measure of prosperity and satisfac- fion of their simple wants is oten- tlal economic force reserves raw cot ton and it's products gradually been reduced as these wants have been supplied, until now we are on the verge of actual exhaustion.
 At no time since the civil war have the worlds cotton resources btCh SO uHCSIldlH. The future promises little relief from anxiety. The American cotton crop this year is seriously imperiled. It now seems evident that the area planted is not likely to exceed great ly the area planted last year. Weather in the west has so far been deplorable. In the east boil weevils are so numerous that they are all ready destroying part of the crop by feeding upon tender leaves of sprout- ing plants. In two states only, Ar kansas and North Carolina, are crop conditions reasonably normal. The orly prospect for moderate yield lies in perfect growing weather hence forth. If such weather be not vouch- safed, another crop failure in the United States confronts cotton tn- dustry in view of worlds now stead fly increasing need for American cot ton. The situation produced by such frop failure would be economically disastrous.-J. ". Jay & Co.

HuBBARD,s LETTER

New York, May 23-(Special.) )- Our market opened few points over last nights close, the weather map showing further unsettled weather over the entire belt.
 From indications on today's weathsr map it is probable that clear weather may be experienced for a short spell at least. and there was some evidence of selling from New Orleans and local on this account The market has tried hard to push itself well over the 20c level and into new high ground but each time has been unsuccessful for the reason it may be probable that reaction will occur. Liverpool cabled that Man chester was slowing up and generally speaking on account of the quiet market business has fallen off con siderabiy. with interests satisfied to look on for while to see what new developments may occur.
 Undoubtedly the market has a good undertone. but If the trade sense the sli lightest weakness, they may with draw temporarily in anticipation Of getting their cotton at the bottom of any reaction. although We antiei- pate a reaction, we anticipate higher prices later on.--Hubbard Bros. & 70.

F. ;. LINNELL < CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, May 23.-(SpeciaI.) )-- While market ruled somewhat easier today, it displayed no decided ten dcncy, realizing sales having been absorbed in a satisfactory manner on depressions notwithstanding May tenders in New York to have been heavy, estimated at 14,o00 bales to- day.
 The interior is not offering freely, on contrary advices are to effect that it remains difficult to buy desirable grades. especially in quantity, due, perhaps. to the rapidity with which stocks inland and at ports are dwindling.
 As, yet climatic conditions inland continue unsettled, with scattered showers in many instances heavy rains occurring in nearly all sections of the belt with a promise for more in immediate future Numerous points in Oklahoma reported rain tn: $ morning as did some districts in central and eastern portions of the belt
 Reports of weevil increasing in different sections of the cotton region are increasing and are likely to oe- come more numerous in the future. This feature of the situation and pos abilities attending same, may ha, e much influence on values eventually. particularly if showery weather con tinucs in the interior. which would be favorable for their agation and detrimental to the crop.
