COTTON DROPS
Sl.5O A bale
Early Losses Added to
In Later Trading
At NJ Y Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, July 20.-[P-
Cotton prices were reactionary in
early trading under selling pressure
based on more favorable weather in
the belt and lower Liverpool cables
than due. At tire lowest the market
showed n net decline of approximate
ly Sl.50 a bale.
First trades showed losses Of IS
10 l6 points and prices continued to
sag after the start under increased
offerings, nea the end of the first
hour October traded at 20.36, and
December 20.27, or 20 10 81 points
under yesterdays close.
When the offerings were absorbed
the market quieted somewhat but the
general trend Of prices was still to-
wards lower levels.
The market continued to decline
during the morning under offerings
brought out by the favorable wealth
er and lower cables until October
sold at POPS and December 2O.2O, or
~ TO 80 points below the previous
close. While there was no rain in
the western drought section of Tex
as the cloudy weather held out some
promise of precipitation in the near
future and this fact, probably ac-
counted for some of the selling.
Near mid-session weekend cover
ing developed but was supplied at a
recovery of 5 to 6 points after which
the market turned quiet and easy
again.

bombs. Police said a picture OF the
priest vas found on the assassin.
The newspaper FL Universal Graf
leo said police were investigating re-
ports. the source Of which was not
revealed, that some of the former
leaders Of the League for the Defense
Of Religious Liberty were recently
involved in a plot against Oregon.
The league had been most active in
expressing opposition to the religious
laws. II was suppressed by police
about two years ago and its suisse
quent activities, if any, have been
clandestine.
Gales Under Guard
4 number Of relatives Of the four
men, including Pro Juarez, who were
executed for the bombing attempt,
were summoned 10 police %headquar-
tiers for Interrogation.
President Gales today was under
a heavy military guard. The precau-
lions were taken at the behest Of his
friends, although Gales has rejected
any idea that his personal safety
was in danger.
Special police guards were placed

inent supporters Of General 0bregon.
The guards were stationed after a
suspicious character found lettering
near the home Of Senator Thomas a.
Robinson, Obregonista leader, had
been arrested and questioned. A slip
Of paper found on the assassin at
the time OF the crime bore among
other words Robinson" and ut that
time il was assumed that these were
the names of men singled out for
death.
Slayer Not Mutilated
Police Chief Zertuche exhibited De
Leon Toral TO a group OF Mexican
and foreign newspaper men in police
headquarters 70 put an end TO re-
ports that he had already been exc
cuted secretly or had been mutilated
BY torture. The slayer was paradcd
up and down the chiefs office. He
sat down in a chair and arose again
as instructed. Then the chief asked
"Can you talk? ,"
The prisoner replied in Spanish. II
think So"
He was then taken out without the
reporters being allowed 70 ask him
any questions.
The slayer's left eve was black and
swollen. there were a few bruises on
his face but all traces Of blood had
been washed way. II was intimated
that the bruises had been sustained
in the scuffle which followed the as
sassination.
Seek TO Hold Gales
Indications were that supporters
of Oregon would attempt to continue
President Gales as the head OF the
state, if il could be done with any
shadow Of legal sanction. Their plan
was said TO be TO propose Gales for
the presidency pro TEN, not as presi-
dent. thus avoiding violation Of the
constitution which forbids the chief
executive from succeeding himself.
Political leaders felt that this course
Of action would be entirely within the
law and would at the same time avoid
precipitating the country into n po-
litical situation which some feared
might cause chaos.
Friends of President Gales believe
he does not desire 20 continue in his
post. They feel that he has been an
ticipating with much pleasure retire
ment to private life as a dairy farm

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, July 20.-P)-The
cotton market opened easy at a de-
cline of 10 TO Is points under contin-
uation of the recent selling move
ment, promoted by relatively easy
Liverpool cables and a more favor
able view Of weather conditions in
eastern and central belt sections.
Stop orders were uncovered on the
decline which carried October off to
2O.92, or 32 points net lower and into
new low ground for the present move
ment. There was some trade buying
and covering at this figure, and the
volume Of business tapered off some
what, prices showing rallies Of 3 or
3 points from the lowest by the end
OF the first hour.
Covering caused rallies OF several
points after the early break, but they
met further selling, and the market
weakened again under continued
liquidation combined with local and
southern selling. October sold off to
20.90, with active months showing nee
losses Of about 80 to 40 points.
Prices were within a point or two
Of the lowest at midday.

NEGRO BALLOT
Case CLOSED
Hutchinson REESE s
Houston Case Deci-
sion For Later

HOUSTON, July 20.-tR--Hearing
Of an injunction suit brought by Har-
ris county negroes to enjoin the Har-
ris county democratic executive COM
mittee from excluding them and 9TH
er members of the negro rae from
the democratic primary of July 2S
was concluded at noon today before
Federal Judge j.. c. Hutchinson.
R~eserving his decision indefinitely,
Judge Hutcheson instructed attorneys
10 prepare memoranda on all cases
cited in support of their contentious.
g. +. Stevens, chief defense counsel,
filed a motion to dismiss the action
for an injunction. This motion said,
among other things, that the primary
is not an election in the meaning Of
the constitution and that the existing
state laws as to primarieG do not
exclude negroes but authorize each
political party, through its state COM
mittee. to prescribe qualifications.
Federal Judge j.. C. Hutcheson de-
clined to act or the motion to dis
miss, saying the case would be heard
ION its merits"
Two issues Of fact were presented.
The first was whether the selection
Of a candidate as the democratic NOM
inee is tantamount to election in Tex
as. Judge Hutcheson ruled, without
argument, that it is.
The second issue was whether J..
B. Grigsby and o. p. De Walt, Hous-
ton negroes, on behalf Of whom the
suit was filed, were democrats. Grigs-
by testified that he had been a DEM
ocrat about six years, and DeWalt
said that he became a democrat after
the general election in 1924.
