MCCORMICK TO START
SEVERAL LIBEL SUITS
WILL PROSECUTE PAPERS
PRINTING REPORT OF PUR-
CHASE OF MANS GLANDS.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Harold F. McCor-
mick, head of the executive committee
of the International Harvester Com
pany, today announced his intention to
sue for libel every newspaper which
published the report that he purchased
a gland of another man to be grated
into his own body.
With. this as the first count in his
libel suits other counts, he declared,
will include charges of telephone tap
ping, invasion of his sick room, the
surrounding of his house and trespass-
ing upon his property.
Mr.. Mccormick made it plain that
he was chiefly incensed at the repeat
ed stories that he had taken advantage
of the unfortunate circumstances of a
fellow man to deprive him of vital
organ.
THAT is utterly untrue" he said
and he pointed out that DIR. Victor
Lespinasse, who attended him, issued
a denial that human gland was used
This denial" said Mr.. Mccormick,
was printed by some, but not by all
of the newspapers which printed the
original story"

SENATOR SCORES
LEGISLATIVE TREND
DEC RIES SOCALLED PRO
GRESSISM" AND DENOUNCES
PATERNALISTIC LAWS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-An attack on
the insane and pernicious saturnalia
of socialistic legislation passed by
and being urged upon congress was
made today by Senator Stanley, DEM
ocrat, Kentucky, in an address here at
a Tammany hall celebration. Tradi-
tional principles OF the American gov
eminent are being abandoned, he de
clared, in the so-called progressive"
movement and the people are being
harrassed by innumerable government
boards and bureaus.
Criticising the progressive wing"
of the republican party, he said it was
the most ingenius inventor of ways
and means invading the vested rights
of the states and the liberties of the
citizen"
The great trouble with these vo-
ciferous 'progressives,' said Senator
Stanley, is that they are forever NOV
ing in the wrong direction. Their en-
ergy and ingenuity is in the main con-
fined to the discovery of some new
method by which a centralized and
omnipotent power may extend its in
quisitorial and ubiquitous authority.
Weddings are to be supervised by
hygienic experts, and marital rights
determined by some eugenic fool.
Senator Stanley appealed for consti-
tutional government and decent real
ization OF federal powers, asking if
constitutions were to be removed at
the within of omnipotent numbers,
maddened by the blatant appeals OF
blind fanatics and fannel-mouth dem
agogues."
He urged followers OF the demo
cratic party's founders not to sit idly
by or tamely and silently submit to
the clamorous and turbulent determi-
nation by an organized mob of the
right to review the decisions of courts
and to supervise and to determine the
most intimate relations of our social
and domestic life
"Then have we passed from democ-
racy to mobocracy,' said Senator
Stanley in conclusion, from govern
ment by laws and courts and CON
crosses to government by hysteria
and emotion, from order to chaos"

COTTON SCARED ON
CONDITION REPORT
ADVANCED ALMOST $40 BALE.
CONDITION THROUGHOUT
BELT 71.2; GEORGIA So.

Cotton boomed-almost $40 bale
with the greatest rapidity probably. in
history Immediately after publication
of the governments report of the con-
dition of the crop as to June rs, acre
age and indicated yield figures.
Condition of the crop was placed at
71.2 per cent against go on May Is,
last, 6o.2 on June Is, 1921, and 1O-year
average Of 700 per cent.
Acreage was estimated at 34,852,000,
as compared with 31,678,000 last year
an increase of 3,174000, or 10 per
cent. Production last year was 1885,
641 bales. A condition of 7l.2 indicated
yield per acre of 1919 pounds and a
total production of II 900 bales.
While acreage was about IN line
with average expectations the condl-
ton was sharply below general ideas,
and suggested another meager yield,
especially in view of great weevil men
ace and rapidly dwindling stocks OF
raw staple the world over.
Immediately after the figures became
known wild buying developed, with
offerings scarce. Futures skyrocketed
with considerable sensationalism.
Within few minutes active options at
New York had risen to net gain OF
11S to 162 points, with October leap
ing to 23.10 cents, December to 22.I5
cents and January to 23.40 cents.
In Georgia.
The condition of the crop in Geor-
gia was fixed at So per cent with A.
10000 acres planted. Figured, at a
basis of 125 pounds per acre the pc,
tential Weld for this state is l,O5Z,2oO
bales against 100000 bales last year
and about 100000 the year before:
Taking these figures as a basis for
arriving at the value Of Georgia's crop
with each 5OO-pound bale worth
$111.25 the money value Of the yield
is approximately $ll5,OOO,OOO, more
than twice what the same crop would
be worth at prices prevailing at this
time a year ago. Figured by the same
method the value of the entire crop is
around $1250,000,00
Spot cotton is quoted at 221a cents
a decline of 81 bale since the sensa-
tional advance.

BUTTER FAT FRAUD
EXPOSED IN EAST
MANY PROMINENT STOCK
RAISERS ARE INVOLVED IN
ACTION IN N. Y. STATE.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Many promi-
.nent men who maintain elaborate stock
farms in widely separated sections OF
the United States are involved in an
action begun in the New York SUI
preme court to remove the directors
of the Holstein-F riesian Association
of America. The charge that hot
water bag, filled with cream and hot
water, was skillfully manipulated to
assist Holstein COWS in establishing
high records for the percentage of but
ter fat in their milk was made in the
suit, pending before Justice Donnelly,
some Of the unusual features of which
were ascertained.
Former Gov. Frank o. Lowden, of
Illinois, is president and director OF
the association; George F. Stevenson,
of Clarks Summit. Pa, is vice presi-
dent; w. P. Smith, Syracuse. treas
urer; Fred L. Houghton. of Brattle-
boro. VT, secretary, and Malcolmn M.
Gardner, Delavan, Wis, superintend-
ent of advanced chemistry.
Former Supreme Court Justice
Woodward, answering the Grady
charges as counsel for the association,
alleges that the suit has been brought
to thwart an investigation of alleged
frauds involving records established
by a member of the association. 1t
was on the Holstein breeding estab-
1ishment of this member, said to be
Oliver Cabana. IT., of Pine Grove
Farms, near Buffalo, that the hot wa
ter bottle helped establish remarkable
butter fat production records, accord
ing to the association.
Cabana is said to have sold between
1915 and 1910 nearly 900 head of cat
tie bearing the associations pedigree
for approximately %,750000. Such
was his influence in western New York
that he was mentioned as a possible
democratic candidate for governor.
1t is charged that the butter tat
fraud was worked by c. E. Cole, one
of Cabana's employees, and resulted in
unusually high records, some of them
the best in the world. One of the Ca
bana COWS was reported to have given
50.67 pounds of butter fat in seven
DAYS and another on the Vermont farm
Cole established after leaving Cabana
in 1918 was given credit for more than
81 pounds. Suspicious were. aroused
and Pinkerton detectives are said to
have caught Cole perpetrating the
fraud by means of a bag suspended
from his neck and concealed in his
clothing. to which was attached cork
stopped tube which could be trained
into a milking pail through rip in his
overalls.
