international conference at which
an agreement could be formulated

leading mining authorities of the
intermountain west.
Senators Reed Smoot, Utah, Will
liam Borah. Idaho and John Thom-

COTTON GROWERS
TO MARKET CROP
AT SEVERE LOSS

NEW ORLEANS, July %. U.P) =
A new cotton crop, estimated at
nearly 14,000000 bales, the average
of which costs IA cents a pound to
raise and will sell for slightly more
than nine cents, has begun to pour
into American markets.
1t is the movement of the ma
tons first crop, boasting an aver
age income over the last five years
of $1,460, 10000 annually, or 14.50
per cent of the value of all farm
commodities.
Most of the crop will be dumped
on a glutted market. Cooperative
associations and pools believe plan
ters will sustain vital losses.
They say that for want of cash
to meet pressing debts the farmer
will be forced to accept a low mar
ket valuation instead of holding for
better price. Thus millions of
dollars will be lost.
The estimate of five cents a pound
loss to planters was evolved by the
Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture in a survey covering a five
year period. 1t does not actually
represent that decrease in revenue,
explains E. C. Westbrook, head of
the college. but includes compensa-
ton for the farmers own time, at
a moderate wage, and minimum
interest on the money he has in
vested.

II may be bigamist. but I'll
prove I'm not a bluebeard,' de-
clared Perry as the state marshalled
its forces in an attempt to prove
that he murdered Cora Belle
Hackett on the Lac Du Flambeau

The story as the state tells it is
that Perry discovered while working

women to fall in love with him.
Leaving his legal wife and chill

British Refuse
French Loan

PARIS, July 28 U,P-Negotia-
tions for the Bank of France and
French private banks to advance
credits of S100,OOO,00O to the Bank
of England were suspended today
as result of refusal of the British
treasury to consent to the loan.
The French admitted negotiations
had reached the point of agreement
under which the French banks were
willing to subscribe 100000 900 sub
ject to approval of the British gov
ernment.
1t was believed the refusal was
prompted by the fact that exchange

German Decree
Restricts Banks

BERLIN, July %. U,P)-A new
emergency decree issued by Presi-
dent Won Hindenburg today failed
to provide for reopening of German
banks on a full business basis to-
morrow, but essentially upheld pres
ent restrictions on banking transac-
tions.
A slight increase of amounts per-
mitted to be paid out was permitted,
however.
Today's statement promised that
the authorities would do their ut
most to assure resumption of full
banking business next week.
1t was understood the govern
ment's decision not to resume full
out-payments tomorrow was owing
to apprehension over the proximity
of the first of August, when the
many payments due might cause a
new big run on the banks.
