declared but concluded by declaring
tuat the opportunity for meeting earh
other at the annual i nventions jutti-
fied perpetuation and growth aside
from the material service it gave.
How the association bad luted ue
small town markets "out of the mini"
was an interesting phase of the work
he discussed. He revealed the active
part the organisation had taken in
legislation and in direct aid to boll
weevil fight at well as ether growing
problems. Sending envoys abroad
also baa proved beneficial he pointed
out.
EvaaV Aedren.
Joseph W. Evans of Houston kept
the gathering in a. continual uproar
with his historical sketch. After ex
plaining that cotton outdated modern
civilisation he pictured the early ef-
forts of American colonists and the
price they received. He then traced
the trade down to the present day
and predicted that the South soon
would control the spinning as well as
the proiM- ing end of the industry.
' .... "Tarver of Dallas
I-'ought a warning that continued
short crops m the tVutb and too high
price for the staple would induce
detrimental competition in .itl.-r parts
of the world. Already he declared
great progress was being made in cul-
tivation and that several nations
soon would be active competitors of
the ITnfted States.
President Heed introduced Bavlis
E. Hnrriss mayor of Ualveitoii also
a past president as a cotton man
who bad turned politician. Mr. Har-
riss lauded Port Houston in the most
convincing terms and declared that
whatever suspicion of .concern ovpr
the rivalry of the cities on the Texas
coast that might have been intimated
waa not shared by the progressive
cititens of either community. That
both Houston and Galveston will
double their receipts and export rec-
ords of the fist year was his predic-
tion for the future.
Baaaaet ia Eveaiag.
After Mr. Clayton's address. W. J.
Neale of Waco touched briefly upon
the farmers' viewpoint and asperted
that regardless of price fluctuations
growers of the fleecy staple were
prospering.
B. L. Anderson of Fort Worth
dealt witb transportation in an in-
teresting address while George S.
Willman of Dallas interspersed his
talk with continual allusions which
caused his friends to term the speech
a "model."
J. C. Dionne was toastmaster at
the banquet in the ball room as the
evening'a diversion which waa fol-
lowed by a dance.
GOULD HEIRS GET
HALF OF ESTATE
Associated Press Report.
NEW YORK: April 4. The ap-
pellate division today ordered that
each of the seven children of the lists
George J. Gould' by bis first wife
Edith Kingdon Gonld. should receive
for the time being half of $502571
which Supreme Court Justice Davis
recently decided each was entitled to
from the George J. Gould trust in the
Jay Gould estate.
The modification waa made as a
result of a provision of Jay Gould's
wilt ordering a reduction of one-half
interest in the share of any child who
married without the consent of a ma-
jority of the executora and trustees
under the will.
It was stated in the decision that
one-half of each share should be
withheld from distribution until a ref-
eree should make an accounting.
Frank J. Gould appealed rom Jus-
tice Davis' decision claiming Vivien
Gould I Lady Decies) and Jay Gould
recerVed advances from their father
the late George J. Gould "which
should be repaid out of tbeir respec-
tive shares in the trust estate" cre-
ated by the will of their grandfather
the original Jay Gould. As to his
contention Justice Martin asserted
the shares allotted by Justice Davis
to Lady Decies and her prothrr. Jay
Gould were to be held in trust ex-
cept for interest pending further
order of the court.

advisable to continue the waterway

Genersl Beach recommended that
construction of the waterway be
iiide contingent on assurance that

should receive title to all land needed
and that adequate vessels terminals
and auxiliary equipment be furnished

General Beach said a nine-foot chan-
nel would be available for shipment
of products from points as far north
nml east as I'ittshurg via the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers for distribution
to Louisiana Texas and Northern
Mexico.
Recalling that Major general Goe-
thals. who made n survey of the proj-
ect had estimated that 12000.000
tons of commerce would move nnnuaf-
ly along the waterway tieneral Beach
said he was convinced thnt adeiunte
potential tonnase would be available
to -justify the federal government in
constructing it.
Twenty Years Old.
Mr. Holland who called the first
meeting 20 years ago. wnich resulted
in the Texas und Louisiana assocm-
tion considers the action of Major
Beach as a virtual assurance that
congress will appropriate the needed
funds and that the amount will be in
the rivers and harbors hill that will
be before the body during the pres-
ent session. He pointed out that con-
gress never made such appropriations
except on the recommendations of the
army engineers anil that in the ma-
jority of cases these were followed.
With the coming of the canal the
nresident of the association sees a de-
I velopment in this section of Texas
and Ixiuisinna tnat will surpass inar
which usualy attends the extensions
of a railroad into virgin territory.
"And the canal will not effect the
railroads" he said. 'When it is first

ral .reduction in rail hauls but it
will be vnly temporary. The canal

ment that will give the railroads much
greater tonnage than they now have.
This development will not be confined
to Houston alone. What is true here
will be true. at Beaumont. Port Ar-
thur. Lake Charles Galveston Cor-
pus Christi and other points.
"But Houston will be the logical
distributing point for all of the terri-
tory west. Great barges of mercan-

statement that the mistakes in re-
spect to the appointment of officials
who have come under fire before the
the senate were mistakes of the
dead. Senator Robinson said:
"He would make it appear that tbe
dead and not the living are respon-
sible for the wrongs of which the
country so righteously complains."
Referring to Senator Pepper's
statement that he would brand as a
"political ghoul" any person who for
partisan political advantage distorbs

the minority leader thundered. "I did
not characterize as ghouls tho-e who
would say he bad made terrible mis-
takes. I halve not and I never had

tion.'" Investigation Is not confined to the
senate the senator said addinv that
the house "is now engaged in the
nrocess or making an investivation
into the conduct of members of that
body which involves questions of com
mon honesty.
Referring to Representative Long-
worth's assertion that the democratic
emblem should be a buzzard Senator
Robinson said:
"If I was disposed to descend to
the same level. I would ask what kind
of a bird he tMnks he is; a cock robin
or a sparrow?"
The charge that the democrats were
responsible for the crestion of a third
narty was denied by the senator.
long be lore this session he sain
there was a. working organization in
existence under a third nartv emblem
and "the senate already Is graced by
two members of that party from for-

Senator Robinson declared that the
democrats had dose their duty when
they exposed "the treachery" of Fall
and uncovered "inefficiency neglect
and corruption in tbe veterans
bureau.
He declared that if Senator Pepper
waa willing to "deceive" the American
people with respect to the outcome of
the investigations the democrats
would meet that issue by an appeal
that will inspire every man and
woman in America who believes in
liouest and clean government."
Replying briefly Senator Lodge de-
clared he had made no effort to delay
action on the world court. "No one
has asked me in this senate democrat
or republican to take that subject
up" Senator Ixdge said.
"Does the senator expect a vote by
the senate on the world court at this
session?" asked Senator Robinson.
Senator Pepper said no one could
forecast a vote by the senate at any
time and added that Senator Robinson
had had "Ihe whole winter" in which
to more to take up the subject and1
had not done so.
"I Would bo very glad to fake it
up add have a vote on it" Senator
Lodge added.
"Then the senator will have nn op-
portunity to take it dp" returned the
democratic senator.
"But you've got to get It through
committee first" amended the repub-
lican senator.
Senator Lodge said that while the
investigating committee had caused no
delay in the work of the senate the
senate had caused delay by spending
"whole days discussing tbe testimony
taken by the committee."
Senator Pittman democrat Nevada
wanted to know if Senator Lodge was
in symnathy with the investigations.
"I think" Senator Lodge replied
"that when there is a case like that of
the former secretary of the interior
it is tbe duty of the senate to investi-
gate. We should not resist any rea-
sonable investigations."
