Higher Cables, Bullish Con
sumption Hopes Are
Factors
NEW ORLEANS. June 14.—OP —
The cotton market opened steady
at an advance of 6 to 7 points In
response to relatively higher cables
and some initial buying on expec
tations of bullish consumption and
boll weevil figures later in the day.
Realizing set in and July traded off
from 18 88 to 1884. October 18.85
to 18 79 and December 18.97 to 18 92.
At the end of the first hour the
market was steady and 1 to 2 points
above yesterday's close.
The officiaJ reports made the
consumption by domestic mills dur
ing May 668.229 bales. Although
the figure was quite as large as had
been expected some recent buyers
were evidently disappointed as con
siderable liquidation developed and
July traded off to 1873, October
18 69 and December 18.81. or 14 to
16 points under the early highs. At
mdi-session the market was stead
ier but prices were near the lows.
N. Y. COTTON
NEW YORK. June 14.—oT>—Cot
ton opened steady at an advance of
5 to 8 points and sold about 8 to 10
points net higher immediately with
July advancing to 18.77 and Decem
ber to 19.12. The buying was at
tributed chiefly to covering in an
ticipation of bullish consumption
figures and a bullish government
report on boll weevil emergency.
The advance met realizing, and
prices eased off 4 or 5 points by
the end of the first half hour.
Futures closed barely steady. 15
to 18 points lower. Spot quiet;
middling 1885.
The report of the census bureau
showing consumption of 668.229
bales for the month of May was
10.000 bales less than indicated by a
private report earlier in the week
and had evidently been discounted.
Realizing became a little more ac
tive after its publication with the
market working off to 18.60 for
July and 18.95 for December before
the end of the morning. Trading was
quiet at the decline, however, and
the market while within a point or
two of the lowest held fairly steady
at mid-day.

Modernist Dispute
Threatens In Meet
Of U. S. Baptists
DENVER. Colo.. June 14.— ^—
Whether a fundamentalist-modern
ist pre-convention row would break
out on the floor of the Northern
Baptist convention at the opening
session today depended on the tenor
of addresses bv the Rev. A. Arerv
Shaw. president of Dennisan Uni
versity. Grantville. O.. and Bishop
Francis John cConnell of the New
York area of the ethodist Episcopal
church, leaders of the two factions
said.
The row flared up two days ago
when nineteen ministers charged
Bishop McConnell, president of the
federal council of Churches of Christ
in America, with "modernism ’ and
protested his selection as the key
note speech and that Bishop Mc
Connell would be next on the pro
gram
Mr. Shaw and Bishop McConnell
refused to announce in advance the
subject of their address and the
bishop would make no comment on
his relegation to second place on the
program.

YELLOWBIRD !
'Continued from nape one.)
Atlantic monoplane Yellow Bird was
faring well on Its air road from the
United States to France.
The French line steamer Niagara
reported that 6 a. m.. New York
time, it vis in communication with
the plane and that all was well.
Three hours later the Cunarder La
conia picked up the plane by radio
and received the same encouraging
report.
The Niagara was between 300 and
400 miles northeast of the Azores
when she spoke to the Yellow Bird
and the Laconia was 700 northeast
of the islands when she raised the
plane.
In neither instance did the Yellow I
Bird give her position, and as it has
a radio range of 600 miles, its posi
tion could not be accurately plotted
from the positions of the steamers.
But an earlier report from the
French liner Rochambeau had said
the plane had decided to take the
southern route by way of tire Azores
and Portugal, so it was supposed she
I was somewhere between the Azores
and the mainland when she com
municated with the Niagara and the
Laconia.
The Yellow Bird told the Roch
ambeau it was taking the southern
course because of an unexpected
high rate of gasoline consumption.
From the fact that it made no men
tion of its fuel supply in its later
communications, it was believed a
recheck of the tanks had been re
assuring.
Aviators were af a loss to explain
the unexnectedl.v high consumption
of fuel reported bv the Rochambeau.
The Yellow Bird had been flown re
peatedly in test flights and the rat?
of consumption was suppos?d to
have been definitely determined.
Weather reports indicated a fav
orable wind hp.d been encountered,
so strong head winds could not be
blamed.
One possibility considered in some
quarters was that the added weight j
of a stowaway rumored to br on
board the plane had been enough to !
upset the calculations on fuel con- j
sumption and cause the engine to
burn more than the exnected
amount.

SPLITS IN TWO
PARTIES LOOM
Virginians Favor Coalition;
Box Attacks Raskob
Control of Dems
WASHINGTON. June 14—m—
Democrats of the country were
urged tcday by Representative Box
of Texas, assistant house demo
cratic leader, to take their party
control out of the hands of John
J. Raskob. chairman of the na^
tional committee.
In his second speech on this sub
ject since the last presidential
election, the Texan, who supported
Alfred E. Smith as the democratic
presidential candidate, charged in
the house that Raskob and his
associates were seeking to change
the party into an instrument of
the association against the prohi
bition amendment and make it
“merely the organization of • the
liquor and anti-restriction blocs.’*
Asserting there was “no profes
sion that Mr Raskob is anything
but a republican of the high fi
nance type with no interest in
democratic principles." Box de
clared Raskob was seeking to de*
stroy the democratic .party." so
that it cannot soon become a dan
gerous opponent of his own party."
LEXINGTON, Va„ June 14.—i/n
—The possibility cf,a republican
anti-Smith coalition in the Vir
ginia state elections assumed more
tangible form today with the def
inite announcement that Dr. W’il
liam Moseley Brown. Washington
and Lee university professor, would
head a coalition ticket if nom
inated by both anti-Smith and re
publicans.
Dr. Brown mentioned frequently
as a probable nominee for governor ;
at the anti-Smith convention in
Roanoke next Tuesday, announced
here last night he wouki become
an independent candidate if he
should be the choice of anti
Smith democrats and of the re
publicans.

British Reception For New

_
SOUTHAMPTON. Eng.. June 14
Ambassador Charles G. Dawes,
newly accredited to Great Britian.
today accepted the welcome of this
city on disembarking from the liner
Olympic and immediately declined
to be interviewed. <
General Dawes expressed his de
light over coming to England as the
American ambassador, but would
make no disclosure of any message
he might be bearing from Presi
dent Hoover to Premier Ramsey
MacDonald.
General Dawes confirmed news
of his plan to go Saturday night
to confer with Premier MacDonald
in Scotland. He said he would
present his credentials tomorrow to
King George at Windsor.
The new ambassador was cheered
bv hundreds of Englishmen as he
left the Olympic to take the train
to London.
LONDON. June 14. <4>.—The
meeting in Scotland Sunday of Gen
eral Charles G. Dawes, new Ameri
can ambassador, and Prime Minis
ter Ramsey MacDonald continued
today to absorb political circles.
In speculation as to its stgnific- i
ancc there was a note of wonder
at various unconventional aspects
of Genera! Dawes' plans and at the
rush he is exhibiting, hardly cover
ed by ambassadorial precedent in
this country.
The celerity of his movements
from the time he set foot in Eng
land today until after the pilgrem's
dinner Tuesday night has given rise
to increasing wonder at what may j
be the special urgency in the back
ground.
His plans, it is remarked, involve
his presentation to King George
within 24 hours of landing in South
ampton. He will then rush away
on a 600-mile ride to Forres. Scot
land. to begnl a diplomatic conver
sation with Mr. MacDonald Sunday
at noon, as soon as the primer has
been able to rush in a car from
Church service 17 miles away to
meet him.
The foreien office, presided over
by Mr. MacDonald’s henchman.
Arthur Henderson, seems to have
been ignored entirely in the ar
rangements which apparently have
b^en conducted w-ith the utmost in
formaJitv by wireless between Gen
eral Dawes pboard the Olvmpic and
the United States Embassy.

said that I am now putting on a
campaign of coercion among fed
eral officeholders to compel them
to contribute politically and that I
practically warn these officeholders
that If they do not contribute
there will be no more offices.
"These statements are delib
erately and maliciously false. You
have in the records of your com
mittee testimony of the forty-nin
rerrons holding the forty-nine
principal federal offices in Texas
Including al of the postmasters of
the first class, all United States
marshals. United States attorneys,
collectors of customs, and collec
tors of Internal revenue, testifying
that no coercion has ever be**n
brought to bear unon them directly
or indirectly to compel them to con
tribute to any political ford: fur
thermore that no one of them has
ever heard of such coercion being
brought to bear unon any other
federal official in this state. Tlv'se
ere honorable men and women and
their testimony must be believed.
"You heard in person and under
oath thirty off of the leading citi
zens of Texas testify to the high
standing and reputation of the re
publican organization in Texas and
of its responsible leaders. All of
these are men whose names are
known and respected throughout
Texas. They included democrats
and republicans, lawyers, preacher*,
doctors, business men. hank pres’
dents. a president of a collegp. an
ex-governor, the editor of a lead
in; newspaper.
"You had an opportunity to cross
examine these men. Each and all
testify to the proper, decent and
honorable manner In which ap
noint»nents to federal office are
handled In Texas. There Is no
s'dntria of evidence in vour rec
ords to sunnort the charge you
make. In March wc submitted to
your committee the financial rec
ords of our Dallas statewide hcad
ouarters. These records in utmost
detai’ give the names and addresses
of every person who has contrib
uted any amount whatsoever to
ward cur headquarters fund during
the last eight vears.
“These records show when. how
and for what purpose every cent so
collected was subsequently expend
ed. Aside from hearsay umallv
twice removed no particle of *-»i.
dence has been adduced before
committee reflectmc in the slight
est degree unon the republican or
ganization of Texas. You have
made assertions without any evi
dence whatsoever to support th"m
but. with all of the evidence to the
contrary, therefore the onlv word
with which to appropriately de
scribe you is a short and ugly one.”
