Washington, April IS.—Warning
to the New York Cotton' Exchange

they must slop gambling or be de-
stroyed has been served by Repre
sentatlve Burleson CD), Texas, in
the following statement written for
the United Press:
Something must be done nnd at
once to stop gambling in cotton fu
turc* and the duty devolves upon
this congress.
A disposition has been tmnlfes;
ed on the part of one of the ex-
changes to reformats rules and
methods so as to minimize the ef-
fects of the evil of cotton gambling
but the great controlling exohnnge
(The New York Cotton Exchange)
has persistently refused to do any-
thing Indicating even a desire on the
part of the element In control to
meet the recommendations of the
Bureau of Corporations, which has
dearly pointed out what should he
done to protect the producer of coi-
ton from illegitimate cotton specu-
lation.
I have Introduced a bill which 1
believe will remedy the evil. My bill
denies the use of the telegraph and
telephone lines between states for
the transmissfbn of messages relat-
ing to contracts for future delivery
where there is no intention on the
part of the seller to deliver the cot-
ton or the buyer to receive it
The measure will not interfere
with legitimate trading in cotton.

Illegal but against public policy.

ment of members of eongress >n
this, subject and T do not hesitate
to say that in my optnfon if the ex-
changes refuse to reform their
methods they must go.

Regardless of all the tentative talk
of peace, Mexico’s department of
war is rapidly placing its fighting
machinery in the best condition
possible. Francisco 1. Madero may
yet be Induced to agree to terms
which do not include the resigna-
tion of President Dtitt or his follow-

who are spreading the propaganda

Cynthia A. Miller Mission band of
the First Baptist church has sent
the Democrat $30.00 to have for-
warded to the Chinese famine dis-
trict. Miss Miller writes the local
society that she is in quarantine and
that, all that they can do in her dis-
trict is to await the outcome of the
plague. She tells of the great sor-
row In homes where many die of
the bubonic plague which termi-
nates In death In a few hours with
nearly all victims. Many die and
are not buried for days as the !>eo-
pl© are panic-stricken with fear and
can not cope with the demands up-
on them, to wait upon the sick and
care for the dead as they should
be. The money being sent from
America is relieving the distress In
both the famine and flooded dis-
tricts but there will be no crops un-
til the wheat harvest in May.

Every day of delay serves to
strengthen the government forces.
The spending of the 8,000,0(10 pesos
appropriated by congress last week
as a special war fund has begun. To-
day it was announced that the gov-
ernment has placed in England an
order for 50,000 rifles of the Mar
tinl-Hale pattern and another order
for 5,000,000 cartridges.
It is asked that these orders be
filled as rapidly as possible.
Today there arrived in the city
huge consignment of cartridges
bought in Germany.
One of the most significant ex-
penditures announced Is that which
will be incurred when the increase
in the pay of soldiers and officers
lie comes effective Sunday. Every
private is to receive one peso a day
Instead of the 4 4c he now gets.
No direct call for volunteers has
been made but the department is
availing itself of more men than
those in the regular army. In al-
most every state not in the control
of the rebels volunteer companies
have been organized and their ser-
vices offered to the government. In
many cases the services of thesr
then have been accepted nnd in all
cases the little organizations have
been told that they might be used
later.
