Definite informntion lias been re-
ceived that the port of Galveston has
been designated by the United States
shipping board as the only port in
Texas through which coffee is to be
imported. This decision on the part of
the board was reached at the request
of the interior importers.
It has been learned that during the
last few weeks there have been strenu-
ous efforts made by interests in other
ports to secure a modification of this
order, but the shipping board remains

the ship subsidy bill we can end a loss
of $50,000,000 a year in thirty months.”
Mr. Daugherty, in his address, largely
devoted to a declaration that the law
must be upheld against all groups and
individuals and the power of the ju-
diciary and the power of the press as
the basic influences in national life,
touched only‘briefly on his “dry” deci-
sion.
“I know there is a great difference
of opinion,” he said, “as to the ques-
tion of liquor used and carried on all
ships. I did not have that question be-
fore me as attorney general. That has
been passed on by the people and the
Supreme court. I was obliged to fol-
low the law. The question was a naked,
legal question.”
Expectation continues general that
the polling will take place Nov. 18.
and it is believed the reconstituted
parliament can meet by Nov. 28. As
ratification of the Irish treaty is no
longer a contentious matter, it is be-
lieved it can be disposed of within the
specified time, and parliament is like-
ly to rise for its Christmas recess early
in December.
If the conseratives come into power |
as a result of the election their policy
will, it is deciareci, not to be to aim so
mtich at legislative achievement as to
concentrate upon “sound administration
and economy.”
Among the chief features of their
foreign policy will be the maintenance
and strengthening of the entente with
France and a recasting of the British
Near Eastern policy.
The future attitude of Austen Cham-
berlain and his followers who voted’
for the coalition at the Carlton club
meeting is much debated.

; The principal profit of ships coming

traffic, he said. The emigrant regards
wine and beer as food as much as they

From Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, total exports
from this port consisted of 1,315,231
tons with a value of $187,071,569. Im-
ports covering this period were 1,369,-
773 tons valued at $12,965,908.
Fifty-four vessels carried export
cargoes from the port during the month
of September while the total vessels
loaded during the year were 433. Im-
ports for September were brought in
on 33 vessels and thus far this year
a total of 385 vessels have been un-
loaded at the port.

Cotton receipts at Galveston will probably reach the 1,000,000
bale mark Monday according to the present rate the staple is mov-
ing into the port.1
Gross receipts here this season including Saturday’s figures were
973,359 bales while net receipts totaled 969,363 bales.
These figures are almost 100,000 bales ahead of this time last
year, accordingto records, and the million bale mark was not reached
until October 31, during the previous season.
Exports of cotton to foreign ports this season were 501,231 bales
and total exports including coastwise and rail shipments amount to
618,770 bales. These figures are below those of last season when
total exports on this date were 749,437 bales.
Daily receipts of cotton here have averaged better than 25,000
bales during the past few weeks and Monday should see the million
bale mark for this year.

Commenting on the report which de-
clared that the charges of John V.
Clinnin, former assistant district at-
torney, were “well founded” as to
“general conditions,” Mr. Clyne said:
“In February of this year John V.
Clinnin, assistant district attorney, pre-
sented a motion in the United States
district court'here, which briefly has
been described by one of the district
judges as a charge against every per-
son employed in the federal building

fame.

He called attention to one result of
the Daugherty ruling. The American
ship Resolute was to make a Mediter-
ranean cruise, he said, and 300 reser-
vations had been made. Within seventy-
two hours after the decision, fifty-four
cancellations were received including
one from the head of a great New
York bank who was to pay $28,000 for
his accommodations.
“We cannot compete,” he said, “with
foreign ships that can Ieav our shores
dry and take on liquor at Halifax.”
The shipping board chairman said he
entered the government service hoping
to show that government ownership
was possible, but added: “Government
ownership is the poison ivy in the gar-
den of industry. Policy dictated by ex-
pediency of votes, with losses paid by
the government and no responsibility,
is a blight on the faith of the people.
It is hypocrisy in government. I plead

pected to show a marked increase over
last season during the next few
months.
In spite of a late crop and unfavor-
able transportation conditions receipts
thus far this year are well ahead of
last season. It was indicated that this
was due to stiff buying and a tendency
on the part of cotton holders to con-
centrate their staple at shipside.
B. C. FORBES tells you something
new and important about California
and that “golden southwest.” Nine
years ago California produced only 10,-
000 bales of cotton and Arizona less. In
1920 California, Arizona and the Im-
perial valley in Mexico produced 250,-
000 bales.
Los Angeles harbor shipped 14,000
bales in 1920, shipped 104,088 bales in
1921, and will ship 150,000 bales this
year; 66,000 bales went to Japan.
The long dry growing season makes
the boll weevil harmless in these re-
gions. And of twelve and a half mil-
lion acres good for cotton, only 350,000
acres have been used so far. What will
that crop be in years to come? And

London, Oct. 21.— (By the Associated
Press).—All the political parties wel-
come the prospect of an immediate gen-
eral election, which it is recognized
could not have long been delayed in
any case.
The conservatives especially feel that
it would greatly strengthen their ad-
ministration if they were able to get a
definite mandate from the country.
Moreover, formation of the new min-
istry now;. would entail about fifteen
bye elections, involving much loss of
time, with the possible prospect of a
general election in the near future still
confronting them.
The conservative party meeting for
the election of Mr. Bonar Law as lead-
er will be held Monday afternoon at
the Hotel Cecil, the Carlton club not
affording enough room to accommodate
the prospective attendance. This meet-
ing will be followed, according to the
best information, by announcement of
the dissolution of parliament either
Monday night or Tuesday.

“Why does the publisher put out the
book?” is the question. Is the book
published because of its value, or be-
cause of its indecencies?
Rabelais is a writer among the dozen

Corsicana, Tex., Oct. 21.—Taking the
stand as the first witness this morning
in the injunction suit which seeks to
keep his name off the ballot as United
States senatorial candidate on the
Democratic ticket, Earle B. Mayfield,
the defendant, denies he had ever asked
Mike McNamara to swear falsely in the
present case.
“No such conversation occurred at
all,” Mr. Mayfield said, referring to
Mr. McNamara’s testimony that May-
field asked him in Austin to swear
that he spent $200 alleged to have been
collected by McNamara and sent to
Mayfield. Witness also denied Mc-
Namara’s testimony that Mr. Mayfield
asked him to swear he did not send the
money, but spent it in Young county.
Mr. Mayfield testified he has been
unable to ascertain the identity of “I.
Dillard,” who signed Mr Mayfield’s
name to a receipt for a registered let-
ter.
“If McNamara sent me $200 it never
came into my possession,” Mr. Mayfield
testified. “McNamara did not claim,
when I talked to him at Austin, that he
sent me $200.”

Chicago, Oct. 21.—Neils Esperson, 60-year old millionaire oil
man of Houston, Texas, died early today at the Drake hotel here.
Death was attributed to cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr. Esperson, said to be a large shareholder in the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, arrived here Thursday accompanied by his wife.
His sudden death was reported to the coroner but it was expected
that no inquest would be necessary.
Mrs. Esperson planned to leave tomorrow with the body for
Houston.

LLOYD GEORGE called the Turks
“warlike animals” and they dislike it.
Kemal Pasha got the dispatch by wire
and his friends suggest that he will
start more fighting, presumably to
prove that Turks are not fighting
animals.
Lloyd George also told his crowd that
the Turks are men that cannot be
bluffed, “brave men” he called them.
That ought to offset the “fighting
animals” insult, especially, as they are
fighting animals. If they could think
as well as they fight, they’d frighten
Europe. Better thinking is Europe’s

New Orleans, Oct. 21.—Trains depart-
ing last night and today were loaded
with returning delegates and visitors
to the fourth annual convention of the
American Legion, which closed its five-
day convention here yesterday with the
election of Alvin M. Owsley of Texas
as commander in chief to succeed Han-
ford MacNider and other officers.
Gen. John J. Pershing who addressed
the legion convention Thursday and
made a brief talk yesterday to the
women of the legion auxiliary commit-
tee, departed in the afternoon for San
Antonio, Tex. Members of the inter-
allied veterans’ federation who re-
mained over for the legion convention
after the closing of their annual meet-
ing last week, left for Memphis last
night.
Upon the recommendation of Com-
mander Owsley the national executive
committee reappointed Lemuel Bolles
as national adjutant. Mr. Bolles an-
nounced that he had retained Russell
G. Creviston of Marion, Ind., as his
assistant.
The executive committee also reap-
pointed Judge Robert A. Adams, judge
advocate; Robert H. Tyndall, national
treasurer and Eben Putnam, national
historian.

As the greatest cotton port in the
world, Galveston is more closely in
touch with European affairs than other
cities of Texas.
Especially is this true with reference
to affairs in England, which is the
greatest cotton manufacturing country
in the world.
The bulk of Galveston’s cotton ex-
ports go to England.
Any great political event in England,
therefore, has a direct bearing on the
cotton trade.
And on the state of the cotton trade
depends the movement of the staple
through Galveston.
All reports indicate that the change
in the British cabinet has cleared away
the mists beclouding the political at-
mosphere in London, and that England
will forge ahead under a conservative
and business-like administration.
Conditions in England, as in Europe,
and in America, call for a strong and
steady hand at the helm of state.
That desideratum, it is generally
felt, has now been achieved.
In consequence there should be an
Increasing demand for cotton, not only
in England, but in Europe, which will
react favorably upon the traffic
through Galveston.
