NEW ORLEANS, August 23.-Fail-
ure of the cotton market to respond
with a sharp advance to an estimated
shrinkage of a million bales in the
cotton crop outlook in the last thirty
days is attributed here to the unset
tied labor conditions throughout the
country.
Cotton men here expect much
higher prices as soon as the world
realizes that it Is facing a crop that
may be less than ten and a half-mil-
lion bales.
There is every evidence that those
going to let it go except at high
prices. This feeling is stimulat ting
business throughout this section and
retailers are stocking up as they have

Special Dispatch to The Star
PHILADELPHIA. August 23.-Re-

stimulating buying and attracting
out-of-town customers.

Expect Fall Trade
to Be Very Active
BY A. ID. WELTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. August 23.-Business in
this section. which has been feeling
the pinch of strikes. is not expected
to show much marked improvement
until some little time after wage mat
ters are adjusted, although the wage
advance of the Steel Corporation is
expected to aid that industry in this
section. During the fall, however.
business is confidently expected to be
very active.
Banks are lending freely but show
concern over interest rates. which.
however, continue easy. Lack of
credit facilities will not hold business
back this autumn.

AIRPLANE FLIGHT
BEING PLANNED

viii Attempt to Make a
Nonstop Trip Shortly A.
ter First of Year

Grove City. Pa, Nov. IL
Lieutenants oakley Kelly and
John MacReady are planning TO
make their next attempt to fly
across the continent in an air
plane. without a stop, shortly
after the first Of the year. The
route will be from New York to
San Diego. ...
This announcement was made
here today by Lieutenant Kelly,
who flew from McCook Field al
Dayton in a 'runabOut' plane, to
visit his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
J. Kelly. Local members of the
American legion gave a banquet
in his honor and the airman was
presented with a gold tatch-the
gift of local citizens, in recogni-
ton OF the long distance record
established recently when Kelly
and MacReady flew from San
Diego to Indianapolis.
1--WE are convinced that the
strain of climbing over the
mountains in California heated
our motor to such an extent that
the cooling system was damaged,
said lieutenant Kelly.
at is one thing to make an al
titude flight, travelling light, but
it is far more difficult to fly
high while carrying heavy
cargo. ...... ....
"Mac and I feel certain we can
make the nonstop flight from
New York to San Diego without
much difficulty. A special Lib
erty motor is being built and we
want to tackle the flight just as
soon as the machine is ready"

Secretary Davis, I'VE should set

cal strength to guarantee that he
can earn a living when he gets
here, that his mentality is up to

such that he will make a desir-

Lausanne, Nov. 12. (by the As
sociated Press) The arrival at
Lausanne tonight of Ismet Pasha
with a party Of 18 Turks gave the
near eastern conference the first
touch of actuality. Until Ismot
left the train, Lausanne was still
skeptical about conference, as there
was rumors that the Turkish gem
eral would go on to Paris at the in
Vitation of the French.
All the crowds were cleared from
the station platform prior to the
arrival of the express, police Off
cials, apparently fearing violence
from Greeks or Armenians.
Ismet Pasha is a swarthy little
man of about As, with a small black
moustache; he is far less imposing
in appearance than many of the
members of his party, who are tall,
with military carriage. He was
heartily cheered by a large group
of Swiss gathered about the sta
.tion.
The French consul announced
tonight that the conference would
not open tomorrow, the original
date fixed, and added that no date
had vet been absolutely settled up
on. November 20, however, is now
regarded as the day on which the
conference will begin.

not on the farm when she had said
she was. Mrs. Hall, he said, re
ceived the following letter on No

She sat on the steps of my shanty
a while and / gave her 81 for keep
ing my dog. Then I went with her
to her home and got the dog, We
talked a while and then | went
home at II o'clock"
In the absence of Mr. Mott or
any OF his aides no information in
regard to what action would be
taken on the affidavit could be OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Mott was in confer
ence in Newark with other Off
cials, it was learned. on plans for
taking the case before the grand
jury. 1t was the intention Of the
officials, it had been reported, to
ask for indictments against the

BIDS FOR WESTERN
YELLOW PINE ASKED

The United States department or
agriculture has sent out its latest
call for bids for timber on the
Santa Fe forest. A new block OF
100000 feet of western yellow
pine and Douglas fir has Just been
released for cutting and it is for
this cutting that bids are asked.
The timber which is to be cut
covers an area of approximately
1000 acres. 1t is all virgin, ma
tured timber. The trees which are
TO be cut are from 200 to 800 years
old, while the average age is 250
years.
1t Is contemplated that this tim
Der will be handled with an oil
burning engine to operate the mill
and is the largest block which has
been released to be cut in this
manner. The timber is located on
site where there is not sufficient
water available for a steam engine
though there is enough for cult
nary, livestock and cleaning pur-
poses.
