’
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—The cotton market
was lower during today’s early trading ow
ing to easier Liverpool cables, unfavorable
British trade advices and uneasiness cover
reports of unemployment or disturbed laljjr
conditions. Liverpool and the south were
sellers here and after opening barely steady
at a decline of 20 to 37 points January sold
est to iT.IS or 30 points net lower, while
later months showed net losses of 40 to 45
Points with March selling at 15.58. There
was some trade buying on this decline which
caused rallies of 10 to 15 points but the
tone of the market was unsettled. A Liver
'ool cable said that recent trade buying
there had been purely speculative with no
improvement in Manchester conditions. Jan
uary notice.* were reported here against
4.600 bales but January held relatively
steady during the early trading.
Whatever disposition is to be made of
ihe cotton taken,un on notices, January re
mained very steady later in the morning,
-oeevering all but 5 points of its early
,'asses. This, combined with the reports of
steadily increasing activity of the domestic
goods Markets, gave later months a steady
undertone, and the rally carried March con
tracts up to 15.80 c and May to 15.77 c to
ward midday, or within 20 points of yester
day's closing quotations. There was con
siderable buying by Wall street, and while
Liverpool sold May, other Liverpool houses
bought March.
March worked tip to 15.90 c during the
early afternoon, or within 10 points of
last night’s closing on covering and trade
i’hying. There were increased offerings at
thia level, however, with the south a mod
erate seller and the market weakened again
with March selling off to 15.62 c around 2
♦’clock when active months showed net
losses of 25 to 38 points.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 19.—The opening
in cotton today was at lower levels and in
a short time prices were 32 to 34 points
down, wholly as the result of a poor Liv
erpool and continued unfavorable account
from Manchester, which seemed to be ac
cepted as more than balancing the more
favorable ieports from American dry goods
centers. March fell to 14.98.
After the first rush of selling was over
the market made a faint show* of
an moderate buying for long account, stimu
lated mainly by accounts of large cash
taels in cotton goods markets of this
rountry. In the trading up to 11 o’clock
prices at their best were within Jl4 to 17
points of vesterday’s finals with March
ttp to 15.15.
At the highest of the day, the trading
»,onths were back within four to eight
points of yesterday’s close, but in the late
trading severe selling pressure was felt,
foming from traders who feared another
poor Liverpool in the morning and from
others who were looking for bearish pri
rate bureau returns tonight. In the trad
ing up to 1:30 o’clock prices were sent 42
to 49 points lower than the last prices of
resterday, March falling to 14.85 c.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 19.—The ten
lency was to sag in the cotton market to
lay, mainly because of the extremely bear
sh 'accounts that continued to come from
.iverpool and Manchester, although in the
ate trading some selling was predicated
m the belief that bearish private bureau
eturns on ginning to January 16 might come
n overnight. Poor cables caused eaerly
osses of 32 to 34 points after which there
vas a gradual recovery until the more ac
ive months were within 4 to 8 points of
esterday’s close. In the later trading
irices fell again, toward the close standing
15 to 37 points under yesterday’s finals,
vith March down to 14.85.
Whatever strength the market had was
lue to the continued activity in cotton goods
uarkets on this side of the water. Fall
fiver reports advance of a quarter cent per
ard on lines in most demand, while New
fork reported cash sales of goods under
legotiation by one concern to the extent of
ieven million dollars. Reports from the
Ir ygoods centers of this country were in
iharp contrast to those from England.
Sales to arrive of 4,000. bales were re
ported during the day and .for a while,
itimulated some little buying. The situa
ion in the Lancashire market, however,
aused much uncertainty of opinion and we
lo not look for anything more than a trad
ng market for the near future.

J. S. Rathe & 'Co.: The market continues

setbacks.
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: While we
think the market lias done its best for tins
time being, we still favor purchases on
breaks.
S. M Weld & Co.: We are not convinced
that present prices will hold after the Jan
uary delivery lias been liquidated, aril
while not advising short sales, would wait
for really good setbacks to buy on.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: A hesitation at this
mice is not unnatural, but with trade condi
tions picking up in all lines, we expect a
gradually improving market.
J. W. Jay & Co.: Trade and financial con
ditions show some improvement in our judg
ment. The rally is not sufficient on which
to make purchases around present levels.

in the corn market to sustain preset
values. Oats seem to be without friends.
Hurlburd, Warren & Co.: Certainly there
is no indication of a dearth of suppl*'-*
of anything, while supplies of. corn and
oats are known to be vastly more ample o
take care of requirements. We look ro*
sagging prices in the whole list.

to sell their corn, the corn movement )i

WOULD OUTLAW
WEARING SHOES
WITH HIGH HEELS
The wearing of shoes with heels
more than an inch and a half in
height, or the manufacture or sale
of such shoes, will be a crime in
Georgia if the legislature passes a
bill to be introduced at the next ses
sion with the backing of the osteo
pathic doctors and others interested
in matters of hygiene and health.
The Osteopathic Association of
America, with headquarters in Bos
ton, is backing the bill, and will en
deavor to have it introduced and
vigorously passed for passage in
state legislatures throughout the
country. According to Atlanta osteo
paths. arrangements have been made
for the introduction of the bill in
the Georgia legislature at the next
session, the name of the introducer
not being disclosed for the present.
Women’s clubs, school teachers
and all others interested directly or
indirectlv in public and individual
health, hygiene, reconstruction and
conservation, will be invited to par
ticipate in the support of the bill.
It is expected by the osteopaths tl at
the women’s new power to vote will
make them a strong factor in the war
on high heels. The object of the
movement, it is stated, .s not to
punish anybody, but to educate the
public, and women especially, agains’
the alleged evils of wearing heels
that throw the human figure out of
balance. The bill would not become
effective for five years, to give ample
time for the disposition of all high
heeled shoes now in stock.
Concerning the alleged evils of
high heels, the Osteopathic associa
tion, through local members, .as
given out the following:
“The removal of the cause of dis
ease being the basic principle of
osteopathy, and the entire sclentifific
world agreeing that high heels are
one of the causes of disturbed
equilibrium, resulting in osteopathic

the profession has come to the con
clusion that it is its logical duty to
conduct this campaign.
"The manufacture, sale and use
of alcohol as a beverage is a crime
because the prohibition law has been
enacted, making it so. The osteo
pathic profession claims that’it was
just as much of a crime, morally, be
fore the law was passed as after, and,
that the wearing of high heeis is
morally a crime because it is an in
jury to the race as well as the in
dividual. Being morally a crime, 'he
osteopaths seek to have it made
legally a crime in order to benefit the
human race by its abolition, in a
manner analagous to the benefits ob
tained by the Volstead law.
“Race suicide is distinctly pro
moted by high heels. All women vhb
wear high heels become deformed i o'
only in the feet, but also in the knees
and back. Chronic backache, the
most prevalent complaint of Amer
lean woman, results more from high
heels than from any other cause.
Flat chest. predisposing to con
sumption, is a natural sequence of
propping up the heels, thus tipping
the body forward out of balance.”

I SEMITE DEMOCBITS
FILIBMiyiNSI
Fffl WE Bill
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The
Democratic filibuster against the
emergency tariff bill was in full
swing today in the senate.
Though Senator Underwood, Dem
ocratic leader, denied any intention
to organize a party filibuster on the
measure, lie made it plain that he
could not control individual Demo
crats.
The tariff bill has not yet been
called up, but Democrats desire to
delay legislation to postpone as long
as possible the beginning of debate
on the tariff.
With Senator Harrison, of Missis
sippi, taking the leading part, they
have begun obstructive tactics which
under senate rules are strictly legit
imate. During yesterday’s discus
sion of the District of Columbia ap
propriation bill. Democrats caused
roll calls four times on the ground
that there xvas no quorum.
With only thirty-eight legislative
days remaining, the Democrats in
tend to retard proceedings as much
as possible, to force,, if possible, an
abandonment of the tariff bill in the
final rush to get appropriation bills
passed. Os the fourteen appropria
tion bills the District bill is the
only one thus far considered by the
senate.
SPECIAL JURY IS
BUSY ON PROBE OF
KILLING OF MINER
JASPER, Ala., Jan. 18.—Under
heavy military protection, six wit
nesses were examined today by the
special grand jury which is inquir
ing into the lynching of William
Baird, a miner, who was taken from
jail here and shot to death last
Thursday.
The witnesses were Guy Cannon
and Clyde Springer, members of Com
pany M, who were brought here un
der strong guard and whose presence
brought the first outward demon
stration since the hearing was be
gun. , .
A large crowd followed in silence
die two guardsmen from the depot
to the courthouse and then assem
bled in groups about the building.
Leslie West, taxicab driver, will
be the next witness brought from
Birmingham, it is expected. West
and Springer are alleged to have
made written statements to the au
thorities incriminating ten members
of Company M, who are now in jail
in Birmingham.
Whether the soldiers named in the
alleged confessions of West and
Springer will be brought here for
examination by the grand jury has
not been determined.
The grand jury -will probably not
hand in indictments before Thurs
day, according to Special Assistant
Attorney General Wilkinson, who is
in charge of the investigation.
Colonel Dallas B. Smith is in com
mand of the military on duty at the
courthouse. The building is heavily
guarded inside and outside, and
squads of soldiers occupy vantage
points about these structures.
Before daylight today men travel
ing in all kinds of vehicles began ar
riving. By the time the grand jury
began its sessions, the town was fill
ed with people Popular interest ap
pears to have increased as the in
quiry proceeds.
This county has been a storm cen
ter of the strike area since the mi
ners walked out September 7; Since
that date, nine men have been kill
ed in the county as a result of the
strike, and the authorities have been
called upon to quell numerous out
breaks.
.Notwithstanding the guardsmen
were on strike duty at the time Baird
was lynched, civil courts will try
the accused men. Brigadier General
R. E. Steiner, in charge of state
troops, stated today that tsie right
of civil courts to try the men was
very clear. His department will
render all aid possible.
Van A. Bittner, international rep
resentative of the United Mine Work
ers of America, returning to Bir
mingham last night, declared the
union through its counsel, Charles
Evans Hughes, will begin proceed
ings immediately in federal court
with a view of establishing the con
s'ltutional rights of members of the
organization and representatives of
the organization in conducting the
present miners’ strike in the Ala
bama coal fields.
He pointed out that rig'ht of as
sembly and meeting has been denied
the striking miners by the national
guardsmen.
Judge Wilkinson said the grand
jury hearing would not be completed
for twenty-four hours. The coro
ner’s jury will probably not end its
work today,
MINE WORKERS ASK
FOR FEDERAL TROOPS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—A re
quest that federal troops be sent
into the mine strike district in Ala
bama to replace the Alabama na
tional guard has been received at
the White House from the United
Miije Workers of Alabama.
The request was referred to the war
department, and it was said that offi
cials there had decided that the re
quest for federal troops should come
from the governor if the situation was
such as to warrant their presence.
GOVERNOR KILBY NOT TO
ASK FOR U. S. TROOPS
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 18.—
Governor Kilby today said that the
state militia was able to cope with
the strike situation in the Alabama
coal fields, and that he had no dispo
sition to entertain a request to ask
for federal troops.
“State troops have performed ef
ficiently and satisfactorily to the
public in this vexing situation,” the
governor said, “and I see no need to
seek federal aid. The state forces
have control of the situation and I
expect them to continue to perform
their duties in a satisfactory man
ner.
Promptness Is Urged
For 1921 Registration
Os Motor Vehicles
The secretary of state’s office will
have to register 3,500 automobiles a
day until March 1, which is the last
day for using old licenses, in order
to put all motor vehicle owners “un
der the wire” before the limit ex
pires.
At the present rate of progress
there will be thousands of vehicle
owners without new licenses when
the limit expires, for less than 1,000
a day are applying for the 1921 tags.
Last year’s tag was black with
white figures. This year’s tag is
pink with green figures, a water
melon color scheme. Secretary of
State McLendon did not o’ ose this
color for reasons of legibility or per
sonal preference. The law requires
the color scheme of motor vehicle
tags to be changed each year, so
that the new tag can be distin
guished at a glance from the old
tag. A pink background and green
letters were about the only colors
left.

MAN CHARGED
WITH BIGAMY
SEEKSNORELEASE
No effort was made Tuesday to
secure the release on . bond of Cap
tain Carl D. Ford, charged with big
amy and with violation of the Mann
white slave act. He is held at the
Fulton county ja'l in default.of $2.-
000, bond, while no. bail has been as
sessed on the federal warrant sworn
out and served Monday.
“We will make no effort to bail
him out until this hysteria sub
sides,” said his attorney, Franklin
Chalmers. “At present it looks as
though an attempt would be made
to keep him in jail on other war
rants if we were to make bond on
the bigamv and Mann act warrants,
so we will just wait until things
quiet down a little.”
Ford, who was formerly finance
officer at Camp Gordon, is charged
with having married Mrs. Catherine
Lawther Mangham Ford in London,
England, in June, 1919, and to have
married again in Tampa, Fla., on
December 29, 1920, without obtaining
a divorce from his English wife. He
was arrested last Friday afternoon
at his apartments, 293 West J’each
tree street. Mrs. Catherine Lawther
Mangham Ford is living at 197 West
Peachtree, where she says Ford in
stalled her when she arrived in At
lanta more than a year ago.
It developed Tuesday through dis
natches from Tampa, Fla., that
Ford’s marriage on December 29 in
that city was to Mrs. Claire Snell
Criswell, daughter of Henry W.
Snell, a prominent banker of Winter
Haven, Fla., and well knpwn
throughout Georgia and Florida.
When the arrest of Ford occurred
last Friday it was announced that
the Tampa marriage was contracted
with Mrs. Carrie Sutton Ford, but
it now develops that this was given
out to keep the identity of the- Flor
ida woman a secret. Attorney Chal
mers on Tuesdav admitted that “Mrs.
Carrie Sutton Ford” is in reality
Mrs. Claire Snell Criswell, arid that
she married Captain Ford in Tampa
under her rightful name,
BANKER ADMITS FORD
IS HIS SON-IN-LAW
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 18.—Captain
Carl Devers Ford, who was arrested
in Atlanta last Friday charged with
bigamy'' and violation of the Mann
act, was married in Tampa Decem
ber 29 to Mrs. Clair Snell Criswell, a
daughter of H. W. Snell, prominent
Winterhaven banker and business
man. The records in the office of
county Judge Julian L. Hazard show
that the license was issued to the
couple December 29 and that the
ceremony was performed the same
day by Dr. H. T. Chisholm; pastor Os
the Hyde Park Presbyterian church.
The records show that Captain Ford
gave his age as 30, and that Mrs.
Criswell’s age was 27. Dr. Chisholm
remembers performing the marriage
ceremony, stating that there were no
witnesses save his wife, and that
neither of them had previously been
acquainted with the couple. He re
members, however, that he had been
told that the young woman was a
daughter of a Winterhaven banker.
Mr. Snell, who is head of the Snell
National bank of Winterhaven, when
questioned as to -whether or not his
daughter had married Ford on De
cember 29, stated that she had, but
declined to make any further state
ment, other than to say that he be
lieved Ford claimed to have been
finance officer at Camp Gordon, Mr.
Snell admitted that he had been ad
vised from Atlanta of the arrest of
the young army officer.
Dr. Chisholm, the minister per
forming the ceremony, was under the
impression that Captain Ford was
from Washington, D. C„ and that he
expected to be released from the
service about January 1. The minis
ter also remembered that Ford had
mentioned Atlanta in his conversa
tion.

LIEUT. KLOOR IS
FIRST WITNESS
IN FLIGHT PROBE
ROCKAWAY POINT, N. Y., Jan. 18.
Lieutenant L. A. Kloor was the
first witness called today in the
naval court of inquiry into the
flight of the naval balloon from
Rockaway to Moose Factory, and the
wanderings of the airmen during the
following days.
Lieutenant Kloor testified that on
December 3 he received orders from
Commander D. E. Cummipgs, of the
air station, to proceed as pilot of
the spherical balloon A-5598 -with
definite instructions as to caring for
the bag and returning it to the sta
tion.
Lieutenant Kloor said at his re
quest orders were issued Lieutenants
Farrell and Hinton to accompany
him. Equipment collected for the
journey included two thermos bot
tles of coffee, sandwiches for three
meals and charts of nearby states.
• The lieutenant went into detail as
to. altitude, speed and all incidents
such as releasing the first carrier
pigeon while over New York City to
let the post know the balloon’s posi
tion.
Lieut. Hinton probably will be
called later. Lieut. Farrell was ill
as a result of his experiences.
Lieutenant Kloor, in a matter of
fact way. told of a wild night ride
in the swaying basket which rose
high above a storm for a time then
descended below it, drenching lie
three aeronauts.
They were becalmed near Wells,
N. Y., hp said, but decided to con
tinue the flight. Tossing ballast
overboard they rose to where the
wind caught the bag and sent it on.
At 2 a. m. they sailed over a house.
Their shouts brought the occupants
out but they ducked back, apparent
ly frightened by the black monster.
He also described the lonesome
flight across the snow-covered prov
ince in Canada and the landing
after they had seen a log cabin.
