COTTON OPENS
BARELY STEADY
Rally At End First Hour,
After Drop of 16 To
17 Points Felt
NEW ORLEANS, April 1.—(/P)—
The cotton market opened barely
steady, first trades showing no
change to 5 points down. Liverpool
remaining closed for the last of the
Easter holidays, the market was
without incentive.
Prices continued to ease off, prob
able due to lack of support. May
sold off to $19.84, July $19.91 and
October 19.80. or 16 to 17 points be
low the previous close.
Towards the end of the first hour
the market showed a slight tendency
to rally on a private estimate of
an increase of only 2.3 per cent in
acreage, prices recovered a few
points from the lows.
The rally was only short lived,
however, and prices immediately
started downward under rather gen
eral selling induced by prospects for
favorable weather in the belt and
the weakness in stocks. May drop
ped $19.67. July $19.75 and October
$19.68, or 20 to 33 points below the
previous close.
Near noon a report that an early
boll weevil statement would be is
sued by the government brought out
enough demands to absorb offer
ings at the decline and rally prices
a few points from the lows.
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK, April 1.—(/Pj—Cot
ton opened steady at unchanged
prices to a decline of 6 points. Ac
tive months sold about 13 to 18
points net lower in early trading
under local and southern sell
ing. There was considerable
covering and prices steadied up 2 or
3 points from the lowest by the end
of the first half hour.
July sold off to 20.04 and rallied
to 20.07 trading was comparatively
quiet.
There was a little more trade buy
ing and covering as prices worked
off, but selling continued. The mar
ket worked down to 20.45 for May
and 19.85 for October late in the
forenoon, or 30 to 34 points up from
the lowest on covering.

umbia Graphophone.
Several disutrbing factors devel
oped over the week-end to influ
ence selling. Senator King’s pro
posal for an investigation of stock
speculation, coupled with sugges
tions from other quarters that legis
lation be enacted to prevent fed
eral reserve member banks from
making loans to finance marginal
accounts, undoubtedly inspired by
heavy liquiatdion.
General Motors opened with a
block of 12.000 shares. U. S. Steel

shares, and several other specula
tive favorites changed hands in

FEDERALS WATCHING
REBELS AT NACO
NACO, Sonora, Mexico. April 1.—
(TP)—Doubly watchful after experi
encing two Easter day aerial bomb
ing attacks, federal soldiers en
trenched at the Naco garrison stood
by their guns today with their eyes
on a semi-circle of rebel camp fires
to the east, south and west.
■ The aerial bombing, the first ac
tion of the long-delayed attempt of
General Fausto Topete to wrest this
border town from loyal troops un
der Generals Lucas Gonzalez and
Augustino Olachea. killed two fed
eral soldiers, wounded two others
and threw a scare into a crowrd of
holiday visitors from the American
side of the border.
A lone rebel plane from Topete’s
camp made the raids. The first
was in the morning, arousing the
sleepy village to a high pitch of ev
citement. Four bombs were drop
ped but only two exploded. The
plane flew low, and the federals
sent up a barrage of rifle and ma
chine gun bullets.
On an afternoon visit the rebel
bomber flew 4,000 feet above the
city and dropped, three bombs. The
first explosion caused a stampede
of American sightseers through the
international gate. Another missile
scored almost a direct hit in the
trenches. The third bomb plunged
through the tin roof of an eAipty
building near the Mexican custohis
house.
Scores of Americans, perched on
railway box cars on the American
side of the border, witnessed the
second air raid. Because of the
distance they could not deteremine
the casualties but the Mexican con
sul in Naco, Arizona, later confirm
ed the reports of two soldiers be
ing killed and two injured.

road enterprises, governor of Ohio,
and ambassador.
McKinley’s Friend
A close personal friend of Presi
dent McKinley, he was offered
three cabinet positions by presi
dents of the United States and
twice was appointed ambassador to
France—first by President Taft in
1912 and again by President Hard
ing in 1921. The title of Colonel
was given to him when he was ap
pointed to the staff of McKinley
when the latter was governor of
Ohio.
Mr. Herrick attracted world-wide
attention as American ambassador
to France during the war by his
refusal to leave Paris when the
French government and the diplo
matic corps fled to Bordeaux to
escape the threatened German in
vasion of 1914. In addition to the
intricate matters connected with
his own office, he also assumed
charge of, the British, Japanese
and Turkish embassies, and by his
calmness and devotion to duty in
the face of great danger, is credit
ed with having done more than
any other individual to prevent the
outbreak of a disastrous panic in
Paris.
Another problem of immense
proportions which confronted him
during the early days of the war
was the necessity of providing ad
vice and financial aid for the
thousands of American subjects
stranded in France. Through the
formation of an American commit
tee, he not only assisted the needy
American travelers but aided more
than 4.000 English subjects to
reach their homes. These services
caused the French government to
bestow upon him the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Hdnor.
Successful Financier
Another notable achievement of
Mr .Herrick while in France was
the American Relief Clearing
House, which he organized after
the tourist problem had been dis
posed of. This organization took
full charge of the transportation
and distribution of supplies from
America, which were arriving in
great quantities. The committee
continued throughout the war as
one of the.most important relief
agencies in Europe.
Born in Huntington, Ohio. Oc
tober 9, 1854. Mr. Herrick managed
to attend school and earn a living
at the same time. He entered
Oberlin college and Ohio Wesleyan
university, but did not complete the
course. That he found knowledge
outside of college text-books, how
ever, is evidenced by the fact that
among the honorary degrees be
stowed upon him was that of Doc
tor of Laws conferred by Yale, Har
vard. Columbia and Princeton.
Admitted to the bar in 1873. he
had practiced law but a short time
when he began his financial career
by organizing a national bank in
Cleveland. Later he beedme presi
dent of the Society for Savings in
Cleveland, a director of the Erie
railroad, the National Surety com
pany, New York Life Insurance
company, and numerous other fi
nancial institutions, as well as head
of the American Bankers associa
tion.
Governor of Ohio
In his career as a railroad fi
nancier he was chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie railroad, a di
rector of the Missouri Pacific, par
ticipated in the purchase ofShe
Western Maryland railroad and
assisted the Gould railroads to en
ter Pittsburgh.
Mr. Herrick was governor of
Ohio from 1903 to 1905. He was
one of the staunchest friends of
President McKinley, came to his
assistance when he met with fi
nancial reverses, and was also
treasurer of the McKinley Memor
ial association. For a long time
he was a member of the execu
tive committee of the republican
party.
On his return from Paris in
1914 an enthusiastic group of
friends in Cleveland attempted to
start a movement to nominate him
f6r the presidency, but Mr. Her
rick declined these honors, declar
ing that he ‘would not capitalize
whatever credit was due him for
European service.
While in France Coolnel Herrick
made a study of agricultural fi
nance and worked out with the
French government a plan for the

FAMOUS PEOPLE PAY
TRIBUTES TO HERRICK
NEW YORK, April 1.——Per
sons prominent in many phases of
world affairs joined today in trib
utes to the memory of Myron T.
Herrick. Some of them follow:
President Hoover: “Few men in
American public life have given,
during many years, such unselfish
and such valuable service to their
country."
Calvin Coolidge: “His service has
been pre-eminent in his usefulness
to both the United States and
'France. His going will remove an
important international landmark.”
Chief Justice Taft: “We have not
j had a more esteemed representative
[at that most important diplomatic
j post in a century. He is cherished
| as a loving friend of two peoples
; and has contributed in a remark
able degree to keeping the friend
ship between them sweet and
wholesome.”
Colonel Charles A. Lindberg: “I
am deeply grieved at the loss of
Ambassador Herrick, who has al
ways been more than a friend to
me. I do not believe that an indi- 1
vidual ever commanded greater
love and respect from the people of
two countries."

mutilated numerous ballots be
cause of trivial irregularities was
practiced on many republican
; votes.
Although declaring the election
was tainted with fraad, the commit
tee's report did not go into detail
as to its findings in this particular.
Referring to Hardin’s testimony
before it, however, the investigat
ing body said it had gained “A firm
impression of his utter irresponsi
bility.”
“He charged Congressman Garner
with participating in frauds and
subsquent coercion without offering
the least evidence to substantiate
the charge,” the committee reported.
The Baker referred to is A. Y.
Baker, sheriff of Hidalgo county.
The committee recommended that
its report be transmitter* to the at
torney general “with a' request to
direct a searching investigation by
a special assistant attorney general.-’
Reference of the matter to the local
Unteid States attorney for the dis
trict “would serve no useful pur
pose.” it said.
The committee also reported that
