Does Not Think ?Cummins Resolution' Will Pass. Senator Hitchcock, Chairman oi the Senate foreign relations committee advocated passage of a resolution declaring President Wilson unable to perform the duties of his office whik abroad. Hitchcock's attitude was a surprise to other Democrats. He explained it by saying: "My personal opinion is that the Senate should do something to settle the matter definitely to say who is president. I believe the supreme court, if called on to rule on a resolution declaring President Wilson unable by reason of his absence to perform the functions of his office, would hold that congress is the best judge of the executives' ability or inability to function. In my personal opinion on this matter I am at variance with most of the Democrats." He announ cea tnat tne ioreign relations committee will meet this week to discuss the Cummins resolution creating a senate committee to attend the peace conference. The Sherman resolution introduced Tuesday was referred to the judiciary committee. Hitchcock has called the Sherman resolution absurd. "I think it not probable that the Cummins resolution will be favorably reported by the foreign relations committee," said Hitchcock. "I do not believe it will wass the Senate. I have no disposition however to smother it in committee. It should be given its fair chance in the Senate. It is likely, therefore, that this commit?e will report it without recommendation." COTON IN ENGLAND A reel of cotton that cost 5 cents before the war now costs 15 cents. The public grumble at having to pay his amount, but are quite ignorant that the rise is due to control from the raw material to delivery over the store counter. Egyptian cotton is controlled absolutely by Great Britian aiyi the crop from year to. year is bought outright. Every importer of Egyptian cotton into England is guaranteed a profit of $15 on each bale. Not long since he got $35 per bale, but this was reduced to $25, and finally to $15. For every bale of American cotton imported the importer received $20.
