GOVERNMENT TO AID
WITH COTTON CROP
Federal Help Is Assured, Meyer
Promises, for Handling of
Record Harvest.


| Assurance of Federal cooperation
with the South in handling the record
cotton crop was given today by the
cotton committee appointed by Presl
dent Coolidge.
The problem was described as real
but not impossible" In a statement is
sued by Eugene c. Meyer. jr., chair
man of the committee, after the first
meeting of the committee, which also
included Secretaries Mellon, Hoover
and Jardine.
Mr.. Meyer said the conditions were
far better than in 1921, when the
South faced a similar problem, and
he declared the committee us taking
steps to cooperate with the move
ment now in course of organization
| throughout the South, where the re
sponsibility of leadership in handling
| the situation must necessarily rest"
The growers, bankers and business
men of the South, as we'll as the Pub
| lie officials of the Southern States, are
| attacking the problem in a vigorous
way. he said, adding:
Larger and better storage facilities
are available than in 1921, when diff
culties in connection with the market
| ing of cotton last occurred on an i'm
| portant scale.
Inere IS ana Will De no ldCk Ol
| financial resources in connection with
the orderly marketing Of the crop"
Mr. Meyer urged the spinning in
dustry to make long-term purchases
to take care of "panicky sales" He
also said England, Germany and ia
pan had stable currencies permitting
of long time contracts for purchases
and that the committee was making a
survey to determine whether methods
could be devised to interest cotton
consuming countries such as France
Belgium. Italy, Czechoslovakia, POLAND
and Austria, where exchange rates
were a factor.
One of the questions receiving at
tention of those interested, he said, is
the adjustment of acreage for next
years crop.

MILLER SHOOTING
SOLUTION NEARER
Probers Trying to Find Man
With Slain Soldier Night
Before Tragedy.

The fact that Pvt. Edgar Miller
was in Arlington Cemetery or near
The spot where his body was found
last Wednesday and with soldier
companion Sunday night week ago.
or the night before he lost his life, is
known to investigators of the mys
terious Fort Myer shooting affair and
they are endeavoring to locate that
companion of the dead man.
The investigators believe that Miller
and his soldier friend went to tha:
corner of the cemetery to spy upon
counting parties. 1t is not contended
that Miller and his companion sought
out this obscure spot with the view
of robbery.
With the view of locating Miller's
Sunday night companion. a half dozen
enlisted men were closely examined
over a period of two hours this after
noon by Department of Justice agents
and Fort Myer officers working for a
solution Of the mystery.
No One Is Detained
These officials were quartered in the
QuartermaSter storehouse behind the
guardhouse at Fort Myer, but on con-
clusiOn of their deliberation it was
announced that no one had been held
and that the identity of Miller's friend
had not been established
Because of this knowledge of the
Sunday night visit to the scene where
Ernest Johnson and Miss Marion
Gray were shot at, presumably from
ambush, one week ago last night, the
aspect of the case led some investi-
gators today to declare that Il solu-
ton Of the problem was not far dis
tant. In fact, they ventured to say
that If the answer to the question of
how Miller met death is not forth
coming by tomorrow, they would be
greatly surprised.
Another Shell Found.
Another factor aiding the investi-
gators developed yesterday afternoon
with the finding near the place Mil
]er's body was discovered of another
shell, making seven in all that have
been picked up. The bullet may ex-
plain the fact that there was a de-
layed shot, according to Johnson and
Miss Gray after the five or six first
heard.
The investigators this afternoon
are questioning Earl V. Betty, self.
styled evangelist, now being detained
at the Arlington County Jail for ques-
tioning.
Officials said yesterday afternoon
that Miss Gray had been wounded
slightly by the same bullet, presum-
ably. which hit Johnson. She suf.
fered flesh wound on the leg.
