ALMA TELL DOROTHY DICKSON Comedy Extra Admission wmmmmmmmmm SMITH TO DIRECT COTTON INQUIRY Washington, March 6.?Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina is en route hot^e for the purpose of ad justing his affairs preparatory to what promises to be a long absence. The South Carolina senator is a member of the subcommittee of the agriculture committee which, under the authority of his own amendment will make a general investigation of the cotton situation. The subcommittee will ascertain the amount of cotton actually on hand in the United States and its \ grades. The cotton producer has been such a sufferer, according^* N Senator Smith, from inacctfrate re ports of "cotton on hand," which reports are always greatly in excess of the actual quantity, and thus de press-, he market, that is absolutely necessary that the truth be ascer tained. * The subcommittee <will visit New York and possible New Orleans. The revelations will be followed by legis lation as result of which the gov ernment will be equipped for secur ing only accurate estimates.
