FAVORABLE WEEK
IN COTTON BELT
WEATHER ON WHOLE HAS BEEN
GOOD-TOO WARM AND DRY
IN WEST AND EXCESSIVE
RAINS IN SOUTH-SOME FEW
EXCEPTION.

Washington, July 27.-Summary
of weather and crop conditions for
the week ending July 25:
The last week was another rather
favorable one for cotton. Tempera-
lures were normal generally, except
above the seasonal average in the
western portion of the belt. There
was too much rain in some Atlantic
Coast sections, but it was too dry in
the western part of the belt. Show
ers were mostly light to moderate
elsewhere.
Cotton made very good progress
in the Carolinas, except in eastern
portions where it was too wet. Prog
ress continued mostly very good in
Georgia and considerable improve
ment is reported from Alabama. Cot.
ton made very good progress gener-
ally in Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
kansas except fair in northeastern
Arkansas where there was rather too
much rain. Dry weather is becoming
unfavorable in Texas and Oklahoma,
especially in western Oklahoma and
to late planted cotton in Texas, al
though progress in those states was
mostly fair to very good. High tenn
peratures and dry weather were fav-
orable in checking weevil in the ives.
tern part of the belt, but cloudy, wet
weather favored increase in the
more eastern portion.

M'CUMBER MAKES
SERIOUS CHARGE
RLAMES NEWSPAPERS FOR RE-
PUBLICAN D EFEAT-DEMO-
Gratis CALL FOR PROOF OF
REMARKABLE STATEMENT
DEMAND FOR DETAILS.

Washington, July o7.-Defeat of
the Republican party in 1912 was at
tributed today in the senate by
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee to the refusal of that com
mittee three years previously to
heed the demands of newspaper pub
fishers that news print paper be plac-
ed on the free list in the Payne-Al-
drich tariff act. His declaration
brought demands from the Demo-
cratic side for full details and was
followed by recitals by Senators
Watson of Indiana, Smoot of Utah
and McCumber of incidents which
they said had taken place behind the
scenes of congress a decade ago.
Senator Robinson (Democrat) Of
Arkansas declared that if Senator
Me- cCumber's statement that the news
papers of the country, because they
could not ''intimidate" the finance
committee into giving free news
print, had turned against the Repub-
lican party and defeated it were true
it was "a terrible indictment against
the press of the United States, the
men who own it and the men who
control it's policies" Asserting that
he could not accept it without first
having "defnite and complete" in
formation the Arkansas senator and
later Senator Stanley of Kentucky
demanded that Senator McCumber
give the names of representatives of
the publishers who had made threats
to the committee.
Stating that he wanted to give the
senate the "facts," Senator Smoot
said the late John L. Norris, repre-
senting the Newspaper Publishers
association, had appeared before a
finance committee of which Mr..
Smoot was a member, had refused to
compromise on the matter of a duty
on news print and had stated that If
a duty were imposed 'the Republican
party would be driven from power.
The Utah senator said he supposed
this was the, statement from which
Senator McCumber had drawn his
"conclusions" and added that he did
not think Mr.. Norris had been au-
thorized by the publishers to make
such a Statement.
Senator Robinson said at the con-
clusion of the recitals that the Re-
publicans had been holding can ex-
perience meetine-not revival,
but a confession" and, he added,
had failed to make out their case.

SAWYER ISSUES
REPLY TO CHARGE
DENIES THAT DISABLED VET
ERANS ARE NEGLECTED.
PRESIDENTS PERSONAL PLY
SICIAN SAYS HE CAN NOT. BE
STAMPEDED OR CAJOLED.


charges that as chief coordinator of
the federal board of disqualification
he had delayed and obstructed the
governments program for care of
disabled war veterans, Brigadier
General Sawyer, President Harding S
personal physician, in a formal state
ment today declared "facts certainly
show that the United States govern
ment is doing every consistent thing
possible for the disabled veterans;
and for the length of time at its dis
posal everything has been achieved
which human agency could accom-
plish."
General Sawyer's statement was in
reply to the charge made public yes
terday in Chicago by A. A. Sprague
chairman of the national rehabilita-
ton committee of the American Lea
gion that the presidents physician
was standing in the way of hospital
ization work.
In his statement General Sawyer
declared that cit is the determination
of the administration to give to the
disabled World war veterans the
very best of hospital service that can
possibly be provided"
"It should be my constant effort
and my policy" the statement con-
tinued, "to proceed with reason, eff
ficiency and economy in carrying
out such of it's affairs as come to the
attention of the federal board of
disqualification. From this position
will not be forced, cajoled or stam-
peded."
Declaring that the American pub
lie should know the hospital situation
as it really exists at the present time
General Sawyer said it could then be
determined whether the government
is making efforts to take care of its
disabled war veterans and whether
the charges by Mr.. Sprague were
just.
"At present under government
control and operation,' his statement
continued, "there are in the United
States of America SO government
hospitals with a capacity of 28,413
beds, 1O,191 of which are at the
present time unoccupied.
"When the disqualification plan Of
the government for the care Of the
former service men shall have been
completed as now contemplated
and which is being hurried to early
completion-it will represent in all
of the departments a total expendi,
ture of approximately SSo0,O00,00o'

HEADS Of RAILWAYS
To MEET TUESDAY
GATHER IN NEW YORK TO CON-
SIDER PLAN FOR SETTLING
STRIKE, BUT mo DEFINITE
BASIS" FOR AGREEMENT HAS
BEEN FOUND.


of executives of the 148 major rail-
roads of the United States will be
called in New York next Tuesday to
consider a plan for settling the strike
now in progress, T. Dewitt Cuyler,
chairman of the Association of Rail
way Executives, announced tonight
after a conference with President
Harding.
Mr.. Cuyler added, however, that
"no definite basis" for a strike set
tlement was ready to be placed be-
fore the meeting. His conference
with the president tonight, he said,
had been devoted to general sur
vey of the Situation.
While Mr.. Cuyler was positive in
his statement that the basis for the
proposed settlement of the strike
had not been definitely drawn up,
earlier reports indicated that at least
tentative plan had resulted from
the conferences held during the day
between President Harding and lead.
ers of the various railroads labor
groups.
President Harding has made no
specific request to the railroad exc
cutives, Mr.. Cuyler said when asked
if the question of seniority rights had
been brought forward at the confer.
ence with a view to influencing some
railroads to reconsider their stand
against returning, these rights to
striking shopmen.
The executives chairman said he
was unable to foretell whether action
in the strike situation would be held
in abeyance until the New York
meeting. The four day delay was ne
cessary, he explained, in order that
representatives of railroad manage
ments might all get to the meeting
place.
Tentative proposals for the settle
ment of the railroad shopmen's strike
were drawn up today after series
of conferences between President
Harding and labor leaders headed by
B. M. Jewell of the shopmen's union.
1t was understood that the suggest
ed plan for settlement-details of
which were withheld by those partic-
ipating in it's formulation-would be
submitted later to executives of the
railroads.
The settlement proposals appar-
emily had reference to the seniority
issue, which it was generally agreed
was the sole remaining bar to con-
clusion of the railroad war-or at
least of an armistice in the struggle
