New Orleans Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New Orleans, May 29.—Good cables
and wet weather in the belt caused a
rise of five to twenty-three points in
the price of cotton around the opening
today on the more active months, but
liquidation set in and a reaction en-
sued. At the end of the first half hour
of business the rise was replaced by a
decline of seven to twenty-six points
under the close of yesterday.

■ skin irritation and that makes the skin
soft, clear and healthy.

ganizations, which are urging the allo-
cation of sufficient tonnage to Texas
ports to handle the business here with-
out further embarrassing the banking,
commercial and labor interests of the
state.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, the lack of ship tonnage
at Texas has adversely affected the fi-
nancial, agricultural, industrial and la-
bor interests, not only of the state of
Texas, but the entire Southwest, par-
ticularly with reference to the market-
ing and handling of cotton, thus ag-
gravating a situation which threatens
serious loss t’o the banks of this state
and
Whereas, the facilities for handling
commerce at our Texas ports are thor-
oughly modern, guaranteeing quick dis-
patch of commerce at minimum cost,
and
Whereas, these facilities have largely
been idle during the four years of war,
particularly during that time in which
the United States was engaged in the
conflict,
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
Texas Bankers’ association, in conven-
tion assembled, Galveston, Tex., May
29, 1919, do heartily endorse the efforts
now being made by our Texas ports,
Texas chamber of commerce and vari-
ous other organizations of this state to
obtain a fair share of ships controlled
and operated by the-Emergency Fleet
corporation of the United States ship-
ping board and do hereby respectfully
request immediate action providing for
the allocation of tonnage to take care
of the needs of our Texas ports.
Be it further .resolved, that copies
of this resolution be sent to all mem-
bers of the United States, shipping
board; director of division of operation,
United States Emergency Fleet corpor-
ation; director, United States railroad
administration; director, United States
food administration, and all members
of the Texas delegation at Washing-
ton.

It is understood that the Galveston
will be employed in operations at the
entrance to the harbor with a view of
deeping the channel to 35 feet. Funds
to carry on the work are available, and
efforts to secure the return of the
dredge to its own port have been under
way for some time.
The Galveston was built from funds
appropriated for the development and
maintenance of Galveston harbor, and
during the first years of her service
was engaged on work here.
Request for the return of the Gal-
veston to this port was made formally
by the engineer officer in charge some
time ago. The deepening of the chan-
nel to the authorized 35 feet will, it
is understood, begin as soon as possi-
ble.

Itompa Makes Trial Trip.
The Daugherty type steamer Itompa,
built at Orange by the National Ship-
building company and outfitted at the
plant of the National company at Gal-
veston, successfully completed her sea
trial yesterday and returned to port
late yesterday afternoon. The vessel
handled well all through the trip and
the officials of the company here were
very much pleased with the showing
she made on the trip. There were a
number of the Emergency Fleet corpor-
ation officials on board the vessel, who
were watching her initial performance.
Her dock trial was successfully com-
pleted on the preceding day.
The Itompa will probably be accepted
in a day or so and sent to New Orleans
to be delivered to the Nacirema Ship-
ping company by the United States
shipping board.
The dredge Galveston arrived here
yesterday and is now lying at the docks
of the United States engineers, pier 19,
awaiting some minor repairs before be-
ing finally placed back at work dredg-
ing in the Galveston channel. The ves-
sel has been in the East operating
around Norfolk and other Eastern ports
in an endeavor to keep proper harbor
depths in the harbors used particularly
for United States naval vessels.
Engineers of the local department of
the United States engineering depart-
ment announced today that there were
only some minor repairs to be made to
the vessel. The oil bunkers will be
cleaned out, and some leaks stopped up.
This will only take a short time, and
the vessel will then be placed in serv-
ice here. She was overhauled before
leaving the East, and was pretty thor-
oughly repaired after her strenuous lutions further endorsed the actions of
service in the naval department.

The steamer Margaret, under com-
mand of Captain Adams, arrived at
Galveston yesterday afternoon with a
cargo of yellow corn from the Argen-
) tine Republic, totaling 175,000 bushels.
| This is the first import grain cargo
to be received at the port of Galves-
ton for some time, and local marine in-
terests’are pleased that the traffic with
Argentine shows some promise of be-
, ing renewed. The arrival of the corn
■ cargo leads some of the marine men to
believe that the South American trade
will be developed further, and that Gal-
veston through her natural advantages
in location and port facilities will be
one of the leading ports through which
the traffic will move.
The cargo of corn which arrived here
yesterday is consigned to the Fort Worth
Elevator Company. Arrangements have
been made whereby the cargo may be
: handled with as little possible delay
and the cargo set moving through to
I the interior point so as to be available
I for milling at the earliest possible mo-
I ment. No information as to “whether
other cargoes were expected from Ar-
gentine was available today. Lykes
Brothers, who are the agents for the
vessel, stated that they had received
no information as to whether or not
there would be a continued movement
of the corn.
The Argentine yellow corn is a fair
grade of milling corn, and a heavy de-
mand from elevators in the interior for
grain on which they may work pend-
ing the production of the crops in Tex-
as and other Southwestern states, leads
some local interests to believe that
there will be other ships loaded with
the commodity arriving here at irregu-
lar intervals.
Galveston was selected as the place
for holding the 1920 convention by the
Texas Bankers’ association at the clos-
ing session of their thirty-fifth annual
gathering at Hotel Galvez this after-
noon. San Antonio, Dallas and Wichita
Falls were contenders for the honor
of entertaining the convention next
year, but Galveston won on the first
count of votes.
Officers elected by the bankers were:
F. W. Law of Houston, president; W. A.
Phillpot, Jr., of Dallas, secretary, re-
elected; Paul G. Taylor of Dallas,
treasurer.
Eleven resolutions were adopted by
the bankers during the closing session.
The committee on resolutions report-
ed in substance as follows: The en-
couragement of better rural schools;
the appointing of a committee to co-
operate with the federal reserve banks;
approving the making of loans to in-
dividuals or corporations in excess of
ten per cent of their capital stock; en-
dorsing the proposed export cotton
corporations; endorsing the plan of
extending larger credits through high-
class securities; thanking the Galves-
ton bankers for the splendid entertain-
ment provided for the delegates; thank-
ing J. A. Lord the official reporter,
who has filled this important post for
a quarter of a century; also thanking
the newspapers for the splendid reports
given of the doing of the convention;
endorsing the $75,000,000 good roads
amendment to the state constitution to
be voted on in November; endorsing the
efforts of the Texas ports and trade
organization in obtaining a fair share
of the allocation of ships. The report
was adopted.
A resolution was also adopted on the
death of T. B. Butler of Tyler, a mem-
ber of the association who has died
since the last convention.
A special session of the American
bankers’ association of Texas was held
in the general convention hall imme-
diately after the main session and ad-
journed. J. Dabney Day, vice presi-
dent of the association, presided at the
meeting. The session was brief, and
immediately, after the necessary offi-
cers, and other officials had been elect-
ed, the meeting adjourned.
Following are the officers and other
executives elected by this section at
the meeting: Member of executive
council American Bankers’ association
(three year term), Warren T. Andrews
of Fort Worth; vice president of the

as (one year), Howell Smith of Mc-

The Texas Bankers’ association at
their meeting here today adopted res-
olution asking that the United States
Shipping Board take proper steps to-
ward alleviating the distress now
caused at Texas ports through lack of
tonnage to carry on commerce, through
the plan of the Shipping Board to force
the commerce of the West and South-
west to travel through a set channel
regardless of the economic situation or
the desire of the shippers. They were
especially interested in the cotton prob-
lems, as this is where the greater part
of the finances of the South are cen-
tered, and movement of the crop
promptly by the mercantile marine
means quicker liquidation of the paper
held by banks.
A warning was contained in the res-
olution that unless something definite
was done to relieve the situation in
Texas the entire financial fabric of the

Hobby Has Not Changed Position as to
Mexicans.
By Associated Press.
Austin, May 29.—"Permission for
Mexican troops to pass through Texas
en route form Sonora to Juarez has
not been given,” said Gov. W. P. Hobby
today.
He informed the state department
last night that he would grant the re-
quest for passage if assurance was
given him that Americans in Mexico
and on the border would be protected.
“This assurance has not been given,”
said the governor and he will not give
permission for Mexicans to enter Texas
until he , is satisfied that Americans
Asks For Money to Provide For Army
of 509,000.
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 29.—“I am not ask-
ing for any increase in the permanent
military establishment,” Secretary Ba-
ker told the house military committee
today. All I am asking for is sufficient
money to provide for an army of 509,-
000. The question of adopting legisla-
tion providing for an increase in the
permanent army is a question which
congress can take up later. The great
need now is quick action.”
Military education in all schools
above the primary grades was thought
advisable by Secretary Baker.
The experience of the army in France
showed that military instruction was
advisable,” said the secretary.
Committeemen questioned the secre-
tary closely on the war department’s
policy on the size of the army, in case
allowance was made for the mainte-
nance of 500,000 men. They pointed out
that the standing law provides for an
army of only 175,000 men and that all
others must be discharged within four
months after the completion of demo-
bilization.
“The number of men will be reduced
to the figure authorized unless a change

congress will be asked to change the
law.”

Acting Governor of Arizona Gives Out
Statement.
By Associated Press.
Phoenix, Ariz., May 29.—R. E. McGil-
len, assistant secretary of state and
acting governor in the absence of Gov.
Campbell in New York and Secretary
of State Sims, in Texas, said today
that he had taken no action to revoke
the permission for Mexican troops to
cross Arizona from Sonora to Juarez,
telegraphed to the state department
two days ago.
Acting Gov. McGillen stated that no
representation's had been made to him
against the passage of Mexican troops
over Arizona soil. He pointed out
further that the request for the per-
mit had come from the state depart-
ment at Washington and Arizona’s ac-
quiescence had been telegraphed to
Washington, no dealings having been
conducted directly with the Mexican
authorities.
1 Swedish Steamer Here.
The Swedish steamer Baltic arrived
at the port of Galveston yesterday,
coming here from New Orleans. The
vessel put in at Port Eads preparatory
to making the trip to New Orleans,
where she was expected to take on
cargo, but was ordered to Galveston to
take on a full cargo of cotton for
Gothenburg, Sweden. The vessel im-
mediately put about, proceeding to Gal-
veston, making the trip here in short
time. She is now lying at pier 35,
where she will take on cargo. Fowler
& McVitie are the local agents for the
vessel.
New York Cotton.
By Associated Press.
New York, May 29.—The cotton mar-
ket was nervous and irregular early to-
day with traders inclined to even up
committments in advance of the holi-
days and the government’s report
scheduled for Monday. Liverpool was
relatively steady and the weather map
made an unfavorable showing, but aft-
er opening easy at a decline of five to
fourteen points, active months soon
sold some twenty-five to thirty-six
points net lower with October touching
30.40 and December 30.01. There was
scattered Southern selling, but most of
the pressure was attributed to realiz-X
ing.
Three New Deputies and Two Women
Inspectors Are Named.
By Associated Press.
Austin, May 29.—Commissioner of
Labor T. C. Jennings today announced
the appointment of three new deputies
and two women inspectors allowed the
labor department by an act of the last
legislature, effective June 18. The ap-
pointees are:
Deputies—Taz W. McClellan, Waco;
Vic Woods, Fort Worth; Thomas J.
Plunkett, El Paso.
Inspectors—Mrs. Elma J. Bartlett, El
Paso, and Mrs. B. B. Dickson, Denison.
. Under the new arrangement the state
is now divided into six districts, as fol-
lows: First district, Dallas, Tom Bell
in charge; second, Houston, Taz W. Mc-
Clelland; third, San Antonio, J. C. Mills;
fourth, Waco, Vic Woods; fifth, Fort
Worth, U. M. Lee; sixth, El Paso,
Thomas J. Plunkett.
Taking Mixed Cargo.
The steamer Orator of the Harrison
line arrived here today from West In-
dian and Central American ports and is
now lying at the Southern Pacific ele-
vator, where she will take on a cargo
of grain. This cargo will consist prin-
cipally of barley, the vessel coming
here for the purpose of aiding the out-
let of the California barley movement.
Local shippers have been unable to ob-
tain vessels from the United States
shipping board to move this barley, but
the British vessels seem glad to get the
cargo, and they are mixing it freely
with other general cargo, as the grain
makes ideal “deadweight." €
The regular British lines were the
first to sense the importance of guar-
anteed grain cargoes for foreign ex-
port, and practically all of the barley
moving out of Galveston has been car-
ried in British bottoms. The barley is
mixed with flour, cotton, spelter, lum-
ber, and, in fact, everything resembling
cargo that local4 shippers book for a
vessel. All general cargo movements
leaving Galveston are carried in foreign
vessels, there being no shipping board
vessels available for this work.

a Few Minutes “Fly Rid” Rids
Your House of the Pest.
A blessing has been conferred on
humanity by the inventor of "FLY
RID,” the new insect powder. It is a
fine dust, perfectly harmless to handle,
but the smallest particle kills a fly at
once. You simply fan into the air of
your room about a spoonful of "FLY
RID.” It is as light as a feather and
spreads all over the room in fine dust-
like particles. The flies buzzing around
come in contact with the powder and-
instantly fall dead to the floor. You
can then sweep them up. “FLY RID”
comes in handy packages for ten and
twenty-five cents at Drug and Grocery,
stores. It is making a fortune for its
inventor. Try it yourself and get rid
of flies and mosquitoes. Also manu-
facturers of “RAT RID,” “ROACH
. RID,” “BEDBUG RID,” "ANT RID,”
“FLEA RID.”
