WEATHER CAUSES
COTTON TO DROP

New Orleans, June ia reaction.
ary tendency took possession of the
cotton market last week mainly be-
cause of the advent of dry and hot
weather in the belt, and prices were
lower from the opening, although
there were strong recoveries in the
late session and highest prices were
rached on the last session of the week.
Prices were under the closing level
OF the preceding week the whole
week through, standing at their low
est SO to 104 points under and at their
highest l8 to % points under and clos
ing at net losses of 26 to 32 points.
July traded at 21.44 at its lowest
came back to 22.16. In the spot de-
partment middling closed at 21.SS.
showing a net loss of 81 points. A
year ago middling closed at 1O.75
cents a pound.
During almost the entire week the
greater part of the belt experienced
dry and hot weather which, according
to reports to local brokerage concerns,
allowed the cultivators of the crop
to make fast progress and was con-
sldered to be favorable weather fo,.
the plant as well as the most cffec-
tive thing to hold the activities Of
the boil weevil down. Toward the
close of the week rains in south Texas
caused buying flurries which carried
the market to its highest levels. The
better turn in weather conditions was
mainly responsible for the selling of
the week and much liquidation of the
long side came.
New selling was not carried on 40
gressively because of the showing Of
statistics. The census bureau report
on American mills for May brought
the market support as its consumr-
tion 495,674 bales against 44O,714 dur
ing the same month last year. Further
support was derived from British
board of trade returns for May, pend
inc textile exports from England at
14,2O0,0O0 pounds of yarn abainst g.
100000 pounds the same month last
year and exports of cloth at 443 OOO.-
600 yards against 146,0OO,OOO while
some of the heaviest buying of the
weekly cotton statistics on Friday il,
this market. According to the state
ment, world takings of 228,OOO bales
against 100000 this week last year
while the total visible supply of
American cotton in the world was re-
duced to 2,666,954 bales against A..
313,827 year ago.

STOREY URGES
PASSAGE OF BILL

Newark, N. j., June 1S.-"With men
ever striking for higher wages or less
work would a strike for life and lib
erty by the negroes in the South be
wholly unjustifiable
Launching this question at the goth
annual convention of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People in the armory here this
afternoon, Moorefeld Storey, head OF
the association and former president
of the American Bar association, urg-
ed passage of the Dyer anti-lynchine
bill now before the Unite States
senate.
"Lynching," the speaker said, "goes
on because it is safe. 1t flourishes as
Henry Watterson said, "as an oppor-
tunity to indulge in spectacular mur-
der when there is no fear that the
next grand jury will return murder in
cictments.' But when the people of
the United States undertake in dead
earnest to stop lynching it will dis
appear.
"Serious conflict may be in store fof
u.s." he continued, "and may be pro-
voked by racial prejudice. Thus far
in every crisis the negro has been
uniformly loyal. We do not lose their
support when the country needs 10y
atty, for would not 100000 loyal
and contented negroes be a bulwark
against national disaster? And would
not the same people, exasperated BY
cutrages and the persistent denial of
right, be dangerous reinforcement
to any malcontent?"
Speaking with Mr.. Storey was Req
resentative Madden Illinois), cham
pion of the anti-lynching bill, who dc
clared that nothing was being askei
for the negro that did not belong to
him and nothing but the simple JUS
tice and equality of opportunity which
is the birthright of all citizens.
Seven hundred negroes paraded
through the center Of Newark prior %
the meeting. The convention will con-
tinue until Friday.

PANCHO VILLA
GOES TO WORK

Mexico City, June 1S (By the Asso-
ciated Press).-Pancho Villa, the for
mer bandit, is peace loving, hard
working contented rancher, without
political ambitions and imbued with a
sincere desire to help his people, ac-
cording to an impression gained by
the correspondent Of Ell University
who recently visited Villa at his Can
utillo ranch.
Villa is described by the correspond
ent as home loving man, who arises
at a o'clock in the morning and spends
his day and the hours far into the
night in personal supervision of his
ranch in the state of Durango. The
one time bandit has established
schools for his people and has set up
code OF morals which he enforces
with the same severe discipline of his
bandit days. All religions and creeds
ore respected at Canutillo. Liquors
and gambling are barred, and every
man Is forced to perform his quota,
Of work.
Villa is studying English and so
are his three children. The former
rallied, whose illiteracy has been pro-
verbal, has special tutor who each
night instructs him in the Spanish
language and the rudiments of ele-
mentary education. True to his word
to the government, Villa is definitely
out of politics. To the correspondent
he stated emphatically that he would
not mix in the congressional elections
of next month or enter the lists dur
ing the next presidential campaign.
Agriculture is his hobby and he is at
tempting to make his ranch a model
in modern farming. Villa wishes
Mexico to live in harmonious accord
with the United States.
The correspondent describes Villa
as the leaven for good that he says
is working in Durango and as an ex-
ample of patriotism seldom followed
in the republic.
