COTTON RECORD
A WORLD BEATER
Consumption of American Product
Totaled 14813(100 In Year
of 1913.
NRW ORLKANS Aug. 4. The to-
tal world's consumption of American
cotton during the year ending July
11 amounted to 14813.000 bales an
Increase of 979000 bales over the
preceding season according to a state-
ment issued today by It. G. Hester
tccretary of the Now Orleans cotton
exchange. Considering the conditions
brought on by tho European war this
showing was regarded by the local
trade as exceptionally noteworthy.
According to details of Secretary
Hester's statement consumption for
tho year just ended among southern
mills was 4.047000 bales against
1131000 the preceding year; among
northern mills 3005000 against
2618000 last year; among foreign
mills 7.7C1.000 against 8053000 last
year. These figures showed the gain
in world's consumption of American
cotton was entirely among mills in
this country and it was sufficiently
large to more than offset a small loss
abroad.
Mr. Hester placed the total visible
And invisible supply of American cot-
ton July 31 last at 3635000 balos
against 5629000 at the end of tho
preceding season. The total visible
supply was 2129000 bales against
1282000 the previous year.

Manufacturers of such products tes-
tified that the league hud no such

MEXICO. CITY. Mex. Aug. 4. It
was officially announced at the Mexi-
can foreign office today that Luis
Cabrera Ygnacio lionillas and Al-
berto I'ani have been selected as the
commissioners to negotiate with the
United States commissioners regard-
ing the questions at issue between trc
two countries.
Eliseo Arredondo the Mexican

notified of the appointment. If accep-
table to Washington tho dehg.ition
will start for the I'nited States as
soon as possible. Honor Bonillis al-
ready is on his way to New York.
Although the names of the Mexican
commissioners were announced the
text of General Carrunsa's acceptance
of the conference has not yet been
made public here. It is understood
that the Mexican ambassador at
Washington will complete arrange-
ments for the conference with refer-
ence to time and place ami it is said

Mexico.
will be satisfactory to Mexico.
The departure of Sentirs Cabrera
and I'ani will not be delayed after the
announcement that arrangements
have been completed. Hoth of thorn
today declined to discuss the probable
procedure of the conference. No In-
dication is given by the foreign office
or the first chief as to the reply to
the suggestion of the United States
on other questions than the with-
drawal of the troops and a protocol
covering the border but the general
impression among persons In close
touch with governmental affairs here
is that Mexico will insist that these
questions be settled before other
issues are discussed.

Chooses Assistant Roper
With Political Data to
Help McConnit k.
Spwiil to Tin World.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 4 First As-
sistant l'ostmaster-Gcneral Koper has
resigned his office at the request of
President Wilson to become executive
assistant to Vance C. McCorniick
chairman of the Democratic national
committee who is managing the pres-
ident's campaign for re-election.
Reptihli- and nothern Pcniorratic
leaders were amazed when they heard
of the intention of the president to
use Roper in the campaign this year.
They asserted that it was nothing
more nor less than a prostitution of
the postoffice service to his own po-
litical purposes.
As first assistant post master-general
Mr. ltoper has hail absolute
charge over the 25.000 postoffices and
their employes throughout tho coun-
try. I He has had charge of tho appoint-
ment of postmasters has a record of
-their local political affiliations to-
gether with lists of their backers for
leach office and probably has more
i political information at his command
'than 'any other individual in the
United States.
knows Political Lineups.
. democratic senators and congress-
men throughout the Wilson admin-
istration have complained bitterly at
times because the postmaster-general
insisted upon most comprehensive de-
tailed MaU'Tibcnts of local political
situations before he would consent
to naming a postmaster.
The congressmen and senators be-
lieved the postmaster-general should
; have accepted their recommendations
I without ' question inasmuch as the
postmaster appointments would be
exclusive patronage.
These statements were filed with
:Mr. Koper. the first assistant posl-
i master-general. Today by referring
.to his files ltoper can tell the exact
political lineup in any hamlet in the
United States so far as the Demo-
Icratic party is coneerr.ed.
j Those democrats who approve the
i use of ltoper in the campaign insist
the president has made a master
stroke in asking him to resign in or-
der to become MeCoi mick's assistant.
Those who disapprove of his use
1 fjty that the president has merely
carted the postoffice department into
! politics through the back door instead
of the front.
As Wilson to Change Mind.
One h'iniicralif senator admitted
today having urged the president's
campaign leaders not to use ltoper
and to insist that the presi.li iit
; change lus mind with respect to ap-
pointing him.
"The mere fact that ltoper has re-
signed" this senator said "does not
give him a clean bill of health ltoper
is a southerner from South Carolina
and has never had any experience m
national politics. In the postoffice
I department he has stii 'vd up all kinds
of trouble. Do you think be would
be wanted except f"i the information
he has at his command? An do
you think lie will lock up I hut infor-
mation when he resigns?"

the Republicans in congress from
this tune on will leave no stone un-
turned in their effort to cent pel Pres-
ident Wilson to withdraw tho national
guard from the Texas lorler unless
the president comes out flatly with a
statement to the effect that the re-

of the guard in the south.
"The guard was called out." said
Mr. Mann "ostensibly to meet an

"If an emergency is imminent the

"We are in a better position per-

"Reports of overproduction of

she was surprised to hear so much

did not understand French as the

alwavs waited for the leaves to stop
