LEGISLATURE HAS
LIQUOR QUARRELS
CBy The Associated Press.)
AUSTIN Tex.. Feb. 24.—A field day
for antifliquor bills was held in the
senate this morning but no legislation
along this line was actually passed.
Senator Price. Daingerfield. intro-
duced the subject by offering amend-
ments to his bill designed to discourage
what is called “drug store saloons.’*
The original bill provided for filing of
liquor prescriptions in triplicate with
the county clerk the grand jury and the
• state comptroller.
Senator Strong warned that if the
bill did not receive imanedite consid-
eration it would not pass at the present
session and that Governor Ferguson
would call the legislature back for a
special session since the administration
had announced in favor of such a law.
The senate sustained the motion of
^Senator Moore which postponed action.
Another liquor dispute arose over en-
grossment of a measure by Senator/
Stuart of Fort Worth prohibiting sale of
certain beverages naming Jamaica gin-
ger and others on the alleged ground
that they are intoxicating drinks.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK N. Y. Feb. 21 --The fea-
tuien in the cotton market after the
opening today was the issuance of
March notices representing about
142000 bale*. With so many notice* in
circulation ihere was 'ie..} liquiyCoii
of March at th<* i pen ng which was 2
points lower on tint p.s tion. but the
near month offerings were quickly ab-
sorbed by spot uo»:>e broke" against
rules of later deli* c".o<. After fell ig
off to 24.18. March soon rallied to 24.55
or 29 points net higher. Later months
opened at an iadvance of 9 to 18 points
on failure of the weather report to indi-
cate adequate rains in the southwest
over the holidays and relatively steady
Liverpool cables. May advanced to
24.90 and October to 24.97 during the
early trading or 27 to 30 points net
higher and while the upturn was check-
ed by realising prices held very steady
within 4 or 5 points of the best at the
end of the first hour.
Spot interests continued to buy March
agatnst sales of May and July at dif-
ferences of 38 to 40 points and the mar-
ket held generally steady. The shower*
reported in some parts of Texas were
considered inadeqaute and the drought
situation promoted enough buying of
the kite deliveries to absorb the sales
against near month purchases. At mid-
day active months were about 18 to 23
points net higher with March ruling at
24.48 and July at 25.10.

(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON D. C. Feb. 24— A fa-
vorable report on the nomiation of
l Charles B. Warren to be attorney gen-
| oral was ordered today by the senate
judiciary committee.
The vote was reported unoffiially as
9 to 4. The nomination had been before
the committee for six week* with oppo-
sition centered largely around Mr. War-
ren’s testimony before the “sugar trust
investigation" 12 years ago.
Administration leaders will press for
| early action on the nomination in the
belief that they can muster sufficient
votes for confirmation at this session
j of the senate.
Three democrats Ashurst Redd Mis-
souri and Walsh Montana and one re-
publican Borah Idaho voted against
Mr. Warren.
Senator Caraway democrat Arkansas
was present but withheld his vote.
Senators Norris republican Nebraska
and Stanley democrat Kentucky were
absent.

sary. The work .on the bar is being
done under contract and is paid for by
the yardage that is removed. As little
proress has been made the expenditures
! by the government have been small al-
though it has undoubtedly been an ex-
pensive undertaking for the contractor.
The Department has funds in addition
to those already provided which can be
afic-tted for this work and there is no
need of approaching congress now for
additional funds.
Survey Provided
“As to whether maintenance of the
channel by dredging will be so expen-
sive that it is necessary to build jet-
ties. I cannot state now. Maintenance
charges! by dredging only can be de-
termined accurately when the channel
has been completed. A change in tho
project to provide jetties would of
course require congressional approval
but there is now an item in the pend-
ing river and harbor bill authorizing a
preliminary examination and survey of
this harbor which if enacted into law
will permit the dep-artment to make
such recommendations to congress ns
experience may show to be necessary.
Any changes that may be found desir-
able can be brought to the attention of
congress under this authorization.
“The department fully realizes that
large expenditures have been made by
local interests and appreciates that it
is morally and legally obligated to com- \
plete the bar channel and to maintain
it for a period of five years and fully
intends to carry out its obligations in
this respect.”
Mr. Creager’s letter dated February
4. w'hich brought the above information
from Secretary Weeks follows:
“I am today in receipt of your letter
of January 28th in reply to my telegram
to you of January 3 1925 both commu-
I nications having to do with the improve-
ment of »the Point Isabel or. as it is
sometimes called Brazos Island Harbor
Texas.
“I must admit a feeling of dismay at
the information with refernce 1 a this
project contained in your letter. The
whole of the irrigated .section ef the
Lower Rio Grande Valley besides a
very large additional territory and a
citizenship of moie than two hundred
thousand are. and for years have been
vitally interested in this project
Army Makes Survey
“The facts are that ifter efforts run-
ning over a period of many years the
litirens of this Valley •'inilly succeeded
in enlisting the active interest of the
War Deportment in this harbor project.
Surveys were made by Army engineers
and a number of reports filed. The
Army engineers recommended and pro-
nounced feasible thei plan which was
finally submitted to Congress and upon
which Congress finallv acted favorably.
“The making available of the appro-
priation made by congress was as
stated in your letter contingent upon
the furnishing by local interests of a
sufficient fund to dredge the inner
channel and a turning basin at the
wharf-head at Point Isabel to furnish
a guaranty of the necessary maintenance
of this channel and to reconstruct the
Rio Grande Railroad from Brownsville
to Point Isabel. Local interests with
the greatest of difficulties and at very
heavy expense met these conditions. The
appropriation made by Congress became
available and work began.
“Under the direction of the Army en-
gineers work began upon the inner
channel and not until this inner chan-
nel and turning basin were well along
to completion and the funds raised by
local interests practically exhausted did
work on the outer channel across the bar
begin.
'■ Situation Alarming
“If I read your letter aright it now
develops that the engineers who re-
commended this project and the plan oi
development which was adopted by
Congiess were in error as to the feasi-
bility and practicability of dredging a
channel across the bar. Without thi«
channel across the bar the inner chan-
nel. the turning basin and the rail-
road from Brownsville to Point Isabel
are useless.
“This is an alarming situation and
one cairying with it possibilities of far
reaching and disastrous results to the
j i
j |
I PeoP^* ®f this section. In the refinan-
cing and reconstruction of the railroad
and in the dredging of the inner channel
and turning basin citizens of this sec-
tion and others* they have interested
have expend** to the present time
more than $S00000; all of this of
course in absolute reliance upon the
feasibility ar^ practicability of the plans
of the engineers.
“The fact that tbe estimate of the en-
gineers as tv tbe cost of dredging the
inner channel was $25000 short of the
amount actually required for this work
is insignificant as compared with the
failure of the plans as to dredging the
outer channel across the bar. I take it
that a very considerable portion if no*
all. of the amount appropriated by Con-
gress has been expended in the vain
effort \o dredge this outer channel. You
state that although the contractor has
done his best ‘he has been unable to
make any improvement whatever upon
this part of the work.’ Not being an en-
gineer and speaking a* a la.vman I take
it for granted this means that because
of the rough weather frequently found
on the bar and the loose and shifting
sand constituting the bottom in this
area the dredging of a channel across
the bar is not feasible and if once
dredged could not possibly he kept dear
except by constant dav and night dredg-
ing at a prohibitive expense. I fuitlier
take it again speaking as ft layman that
the only alternative is the construction
of jetties which would involve an ex-
penditure enormously greater than the |
appropriation made by congress.
Reply Asked
“If these surmises aic correct or if.
for any ler.son the amount estimated by
the engineers and appropriated by con-
gress as sufficient t<* open this outer
channel is not adequate and the outer
channel cannot be opened then the half
million and more dollars expended by
lo-al interests have been wasted and arc
a total loss unless relief can be quickly
afforded. This relief could only take
the form ofi some action which would
result in giving us the channel across
the bar.
“I am sure Mr. Secretary you will
fully realize the seriousness of this sit-
uation to the great number of American
citizens whose interests are so vitally
involved. I am sure rfre may count up-
on your sympathetic interest and yout
active help in the emergency with which
we are. confronted. It would seem of
the utmost importance that we have an
early and authoritative decision as to
what can and what cannot be done with
the funds remaining available for use
in constructing the outer channel. It
these funds are not adequate we should
know it at once and he informed as to
the additional amount that it will b<t
recessary to ask congress to appropriate.
If a total change in the plans is found
necessary we should know this at
once together with an authoritative
statement or estimate of the cost unde*
any new or substittue plan. Until these
facts are available there is nothing the
interests here can do but mark time
with serious and constantly mounting
losses.
“May I ask you to write me at once
advising how quickly these facts will

Old-Time Remedy
Best for
Heavy Coughs
Stubborn racking deep-seated
coughs that refuse to yield to other
remedies are often checked overnight
with the old-time cough medicine that
our parents and grandparents "swore
by.” In spite of modern discoveries
nothing has been found to replace
good old Dr. Dell’s Tine-Tar lloney
for giving quick sure relief for
coughs chest colds oronchitis spas-
modic croup and other throat irrita-
tions. Doctors say that the pine tar
quickly loosens and removes the
phlegm end congestion which are the
direct cause of the coughing while tha
honey not only gives a pleasant taste
but helps soothe irritation.
But be sure you get the original Dr
Bell’s and no other. There have been
dozens of imitations but the original
is still the best. It often stops the
worst cough in 24 hours. Contains
no injurious drugs so can be given
even to young children. Insist on Dr
Bell’s. Only 30c at any good druggist’s.

Acala Cotton
Ranks First
In a six-year test by the Texas Agri-
‘ cultural Experiment Station Acala
cottjon ranked first. The test proved
that Acala produced more pounds of
lint cotton per acre than any other va-
riety.
Spinners are demanding more staple
cotton. A government report shows
that the premium of 1 1-8-inch staple
advanced from two cents to six and
three-quarters cents per pound.
. Watson Improved Acala produces
more and is now selling for more than
$30.00 per bale premium. All these
facts should be considered when plant-

Record
The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station In
Bulletin No. 321 recently published on Cotton Vari-
ety Experiments at the Main Station shows the
ACALA TO RANK FIRST in a six-year test 1917
to 1922. inclusive. In this test the ACALA produced
more pounds of lint cotton per acre than any other
variety.
This Bulletin Says: “The percentage of lint or the
gin turnout is not very important in comparing
varieties in order to determine which one the farm-
er should grow. * * * The length of lint is more im-
portant than the percentage of lint. It is very im-
portant that the fanner should not decide on the
variety that he wants to plant just because it will
give a high turn out. Yield of lint per acre is much
more important than percentage of lint or gin
tjirn out.”
For the past two or three years there has been very
little premium on staple cotton resulting in the pro-
duction of an unusual amount of short staple. Re- j
cently the spinners are demanding more staple cot-
ton. The government report during the past two
months shows the premium on 1 1-8 inch staple has
advanced from two cents to 6 3-4 cents per pound.
Watson Improved Acala produces more and is now
selling for more than $30.00 per bale premium. For
