UNDERWOOD WILL
LEAD DEMOCRATS
Senator Hitchcock Withdraws From
Race?Nebraskan Leaves Field
To Alabama Senator
Washington, April 24.?.Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, withdrew tonight
from the race for Democratic
leader of the senate thus virtually
assuring the selection of Senator
Underwood, of Alabama at the Dem-j
ocratic conference called for Tuesday
night.
Senator I^itchcock's announcement
was made in a letter to senate!
Democrats. He said his withdrawal
from the fight would conduce to dem-j
ocratic harmony and would accord i
with his individual plans which I
" "i'''' rir?+ ririT-mit him rlnrinc thp re- !

mainder of the year to undertake the j
i work of minority leader which de-!
volved upon him with the retirement'
from the senate of the late Senator'
'Martin of Virginia.
The withdrawal of the Nebraskan
breaks the deadlock which developed j
at tin party conference January 1." j
when the first effort was made to
select a successor to Senator Martin.
"I hot." desire to terminate this)
dcai'lock." wrote Senator Hitchcock,
* "and hereby withdraw my na.r.e from I
th. contest. This will cor^uce to'
Democratic harmony and will accord
w!rh my individual plans which will
iioi permit me, during the eir.a!p..'o?-(
of the year, to undertake such continuous
service in the senate as 11
have had during the past 12 months, j
"The year during which I have
acted as Democratic leader has 'been
one of responsibility and difficulty

the consideration shown by party
leagues, whether they agreed withj
me or not.
"I desire particularly to thank
tho.se who have supported me in this
contest and to say to all that I shall
be glad in resuming my position as
vice charman, to cooperate as heretofore,
with the chosen leader."
Senator Hitchcock's friends explained
that the presidential cam.
naiirn Would take the senator away
from Washington at frequent intervals
and that aside from this he
V ?
would make frequent. visits to his
former home in Massachusetts and
consequently wd^ild not desire; to
undertake the duties of leadership.
The withdrawal of the Nebraska
senator caused surprise in political
circles here. He has been the administration
leader throughout the
long peace treaty fight and it was
explicitly statect" at the White Hous
and by Senator Underwood that irrespective
of the outcome of the ele
tion for leadership, he would continue
as the administration spokesman
should the treaty fight be re
newed.

CRmum Colters, April II.?Th#
bell weevil has spread over the great*
r portion of ?outh Carolina. In mt> 4
eral of the coastal counties k is eater- ?
bag Iti third year of lnfeetatlo*, la s'
ease of a wet season severe damage |
I may be expected in Beaufort, Jasper, >
Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Coll* :
ton and Charleston counties. Oon? !
siderable damage may also occur la ,
the other coastal sections.
The fundamental procedure In boll j _
weevil control is intelligent dlversdfl. j
est ion resulting in greatly Improved !
soil fertility, soil conditions. An !
early crop of cotton is very receraary |
in weevil years. Minor operation! '
a.- ;.rofita/ble under favorable condS 1
1 tiuis, such as handpicking of fallen : L<
squares and collecting of punctured j
squares and bolls. These may bo
advantageduSlV practiced where la- ;
bor Is cheap and available, for ox*
ample, on plantations operated by j
families with a' "number of chlldrsn F<
that can be employed.
The latest deveJopmeLc in weevil
control Is poisoning, but this method
Is yet In the experfmental stapes. The
work 90 far done has been on Miasir-sippi
Delta plantations and the results
secured are most promising.
While It is not expected that thin
mfthod will ever eradicate the pest,
yet viewing the results so far securod ?
together with tho history of weevil
poisoning, tho prospects are very
premising that this method is to develop
into an important factor in boll
weevil control. A great many details
must yet be worked out experiment
tally. There will yet be continued
improvements in the dusting mechines
and in the manufacture of
calcium arsenate, which appears to C
he one of the most difficult insecticides
to manufacture. Furthermore,
the various details that present themselves
on the different plantations
outside of the Mississippi Delta will
he worked out so that a definite and ; -j
logical system of poisoning- can he _.
recommended. Under any conditions. (
poisoning in this state in 1920 ghould
only be undertaken where weevfl
damage is expected to be severe; ft
should be undertaken on a small
scale ?nly, and wVen once begun It
should be repeated as often ae neces- _
pary to a thorough manner or the ,
results are likely to be unsatiefaotory.
Experimental work will be eonduoted 1
!n the ceestal counties of this state
where the weerll is e*peoted to be
most injurious. A. number ot plantors
will mo doubt conduct poisoning
operations with machines and materials\
probably available. Ve one -]

TWO WAR VESSELS
SAIL FOR MEXICO j
Will Protect American Citizens
And Interests
t
Washington, April 23.?Two war
.ships from the Pacific fleet were en
route tonight to Mexican waters to
protect American citizens and interests
at Mazatlan and Topolabampo.
They were dispached from San Diego
today on orders from the navy department
after a request for protection
had ccme fi%m state department
representatives at those two Mexican
Pacific ports.
A similar request came from the
government agent at Frontmu on the.
Gulf coast but was not acted upen
pending further investigation of the!
- I
situation there. The cruiser Sacramento
is at Tampico only a short distance
away.
The exact situation at Mazathin
and Topoiobampo was not known
here. T here has been no report of
disturbances at either place and latest
advices said a federal force of
350 men and two cannon had arrived
at Mazatlan.
? ? ? - ? ?
Sonora state iorces in reuemun
against the Caranza government ar
known to be pushing on toward Mazatlan,
the most important Mexicai
gate way on the Pacific. This fore
is now well south of Topolobampo
but whether a detachment had been
deployed to make an assault there
was not clear.
At the navy department it was
said that the cruiser Salem and destroyer
No. 276, the ships ordered to
Mexico, were under instructions to
investigate the situation. There are
| extensive American interests atj
I Mazatlan where the Mexico-California
Steamship company, has its
I terminal. Word has been received a
the offices of the company that both
of the Mexican ports have been
closed.
The cruiser Sacremento was at;
Frontora on April 10. and remriine:!
a short time. Some uneaseine.-s was.
felt there at that time.
