COTTON
NEW YORK. Jan. 21.—Unfavorable Liv
erpool cables and British trade advices led
to further selling in the cotton market here
during today’s early trading. The opening
wu barely, steady at unchanged prices to a
decline of 15 points with March and May
deliveries soon selling off to 15.20. or about
25 to 30 points below last night’s closing
quotations. Early estimates placed the Jan
nary notices at 7,700 bales, but while the
spot month eased off with the rest of the
list it showed a relatively steady tone. Not
withstanding the firmness of foreign ex
change Wall street was a considerable earlj
seller while Liverpool and south also sold
here during the early trading. Private ca
bles reported Manchester selling in Liver
pool with a small spot demand. ,
There were slight rallies on bullish south
ern spot advices, but they mot increased
offerings and the market was weak toward
rnlddav. Uncertainty as to the disposition
of the cotton taken up on January contracts
seemed to be leading to liquidation of March
long accounts, and the heavy selling of the
early spring month was the feature on the
nreak which carried the price off to 14 .‘.We
for Marell and 15.05 c for May, or 41 to 00
points net lower. Stop orders were uncov
ered on this decline. and after their execu
tion there were rallies of 10 or 12 points.
The market remained nervous and unset
tied during the early afternoon owing to
continued March liquidation. March con
tracts sold off to 14.80 and May to 14.90.
or 58 to 70 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.—Continued eas
iness in the English market and reports that
the edge seemed to be off the demand for
goods for the time being sent the prilce of
cotton to lower levels today, the tradin’*
months losing 12 to 20 points in the first
half hour of business. March dropped off
to 14.62 and July to 14.93.
Rumors that the January deal in New
York had been settled and private messages
from Liverpool claiming that mills were
beginning to refuse to accept deliveries of
cotton increased th epressure against the
market. In the trading up to 11 o’clock
prices went to levels 30 to 40 points under
the finals of yesterday, March touching
14.42.
Heave liquidation enme from the long
side, aud it was not well received, especially
after the weekly statistics were posted,
allowing mill takings of 255,000 bales,
against 358.000 this week last year. At 1 ’b'l
o'clock prices were 60 to 68 points lower
‘han the finals of yesterday, with March at
14.15 c.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
E. F. Leland & Co.: The wheat situation
looks heavy, especially with primary receipts
double those of a year ago. Rallies in corn
oversold spots are to be expected. The ral
lies in oats will meet with heavy selling.
Clement, Curtis & Co.: VYhgftt has hftd a
good break and is entitled to a rally. We
would sell all gra|n«f on Hie strpnjr SP°ts.
Wagner & Co.: General deflation Is cur
rent in every part of the world. The diffi
culty of creating seriously higher grain
prices on the current world situation is ap
parent.

PEGGY MARSH IS
MARRIED; FIELD
SUIT IS SETTLED
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—Peggy-
Marsh, English chorus girl, who de
clares her 4-year son is the child of
the late Henry Field, 2nd., Chicago
millionaire, is the bride today of Al
bert L. Johnson, former army avia
tor.
They were secretly married at
Greenwich, Conn., America’s “Gretna
Green" on January 5, it was learned.
It was reported that the Field es
tate had agreed to pay $5,000 a year
for the bringing up of the child,
Henry Anthony Marsh, and that it
also had agreed to provide a SIOO,OOO
home for the mother, here or abroad.
Johnson is a nephew of the late
Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland
Miss Marsh has been suffering from
appendicitis, but is recovering. Her
son was recently brought to Amer
ica from England to join her here
preparatory to pressing a suit
against the Field estate, which is
now reported to have been settled out
of court.
PEGGY MARSH MET
FIELD IN ENGLAND
CHICAGO. 111., Jan. 20.—Peggy
Marsh met Henry Field, grand
son, of Marshall Field, in Ron
don. After Henry Field’s death in
July, 1917, she instituted suit in the
superior court of Cook county, for
the contest of the Marshall Field
will.
According to the story told by
Peggy Marsh, she had received from
Henry Field at least $50,000 in cash
and presents. He was further said
to have signed an agreement to pay
her SIOO,OOO.
A formal claim for this latter
amount was filed late in 1919 in the
probate court against Henry Field’s
estate. The claim was not contested
by the Field family, who let it be
known that they recognized Peggy
Marsh’s son as the child of Henry
Field.
The suit to construe the will of
Marshall Field so as to give the
actress'’' son a share in his great
grandfather's millions was unsuccess
ful. But the court decisions held
the child heir to the $4,000,000 which
Henry Field left when he died
intestate.
The unsuccessful fight for a share
in the undivided principal of the
Marshall Field estate turned upon a
single phrase in the will. Certain con
tingencies were made by that instru
ment dependent upon the testator’s
grandchildren dying “without lawful
ISSU6.**
The attorneys for the Marsh in
terests led by Edward F. Dunne,
former governor of Illinois, con
tended vainly that a child born out
of wedlock might be a lawful heir
and that, therefore, Peggy Marsh’s
son came within the meaning of the
will. The winning contention by the
Field estate attorneys was that the
big Chicago merchant had in mind
the founding of a family line to
perpetuate the Field name and ex
pand its interests and that only legit
imate children could share in this
p u r p o se.
LOVE FOR GIRL WIFE
SPURS HUSBAN TO
TRY BANK ROBBERY
(Continued, from Page 1.)
his wife asleep beside him, himself
wide awake.
“It was just imagination at
first,” he said. “I guess everybody
hai b<en in the same sort of fix
some time, and maybe they’ve
thought like I did, ’I wish I had the
nerve to rob a bank.’ It popped in
to my head from reading so much
about those things in the papers.
Yeggs and bank robberies—and they
seemed to be getting away with it.”
The notion, once in his head,
stayed there. He planned it out
fancifully, he said, while he lay
awake in bed, and then he tried to
put it way, to sleep. But the thing
was there; he dreamed about it. And
the next day he couldn’t get rid of
it. Suddenly he made up his mind
to go through, with it.
He didn’t know much about
banks, less of robberies. The only
bank he was familiar with was the
one at Hapeville. And so. he kissed
his wife good-by Wednesday night
and told her he was to work at the
yards that night. Then he cranked
the truck and, with an iron bar for
his only weapon, set off at midnight
on the Hapeville road.
Easily Captured
The capture was almost ridiculous
ly easy. The bank faces directly on
the main street, beneath a bright
electric light. Dr. E. H. Burger lives
ac.voee the street. He was awakened
jby the crash of the flimsy door as
| Day, doubtless nervous and amateur
ish, knocked it down. The doctor
guessed what was happening. He,
too, had been reading of robberies.
He dressed hastily and got the- city
marshal. S. R. Adams. They say they
caught Day as he • came out of the
door, discouraged and ready to quit
because he couldn’t open the door
of the safe.
Mr. Scoggins was informed. The
people of Hapeville were aroused by
the attempted robbery, yet didn’t
know quite what to do about it. Ev
erybody knew Nick; everybody liked
him. Some of the bank officials said
they didn’t care if the whole nasty
business was let go.
But Nick, in remorse, was willing
to face the music. They brought him
to the Tower Thursday morning,
while Mr. Scoggins sent for Mrs.
Day and broke the news to her at
the home.
So Nick is in jail now, waiting for
action by the grand jury and a trial,
but worried more than anything else,
so he told his callers, because he was
afraid for Della and the baby yet to
be born.

Husband of Woman
Attempting Suicide
Held on Suspicion
Following the alleged attempt of
Mrs. Mattie Peters, of 73 Rankin
street, to commit suicide by taking
fifteen grains of bichloride of mer
cury Wednesday afternoon, Fred
Peters, husband of Mrs. Peters, was
<placed under arrest Thursday morn
ing by City Detectives Powers and
Whitley, and is being held at police
headquarters under a blanket charge
of suspicion.
The officers allege that Mrs. Peters
stated that her husband was in some
manner connected with the German
government, and that he now re
ceives letters written in German,
which he destroys immediately after
he has read them. She stated
further that during the war her hus
band was interned at Mineola, Long
Island, as an enemy alien.
To a Journal reporter, Mrs. Peters
Thursday stated that she had been
separated from her husband since
last October, and that his myster
ious actions were the cause of the
separation. She stated that on sev
eral occasions, he had attempted to
get her to avow allegiance to the
German government.
Her husband, she stated, was born
in Switzerland, and educated in Ger
many. Before the war, she said,
Peters was a member of the kaiser’s
guard -of honor.
Tnursday morning Mrs. Peters
had almost completely recovered
from the effects of the poison, which
she admitted taking. She operates a
bakery at 303 Ponce de Leon avenue.
Peters is a chef at a local hotel,
and gave the police his address as
619 West Peachtree street. To
newspaper men he refused to make
any statement Thursday morning.

NEW CONGRESS
DISTRICTS TO BE
FIXED BY STATES
WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. —Under
the reapportionment bill adopted in
the house late yesterday limiting
the membership of that branch of
congress to its present number of
435, the states affected will con
tinue to provide machinery for redis

having been defeated.
Under the measure as it will go
to the senate for approval, eleven
states will lose twelve representa

! other states. Missouri will lose two

GEORGIA DISTRICTS
MAY BE REALIGNED
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The de
feat of the Siegel reapportionment
bill in the house of representatives
Wednesday by a vote of 287 to 76
means that Georgia will not get an
extra congressman, but the twelve
districts in the state probably will
be realigned so as to get 240,000
people in each district, to conform
to the new unit on the basis of the
1920 census. Fulton and DeKalb,
being populous counties, probably
will be made into one district and
other counties in the fifth district
be given to contiguous minus dis
tricts, and so on throughout the
state. Some states, notably Louisi
ana, lost a congressman through de
feat of the Siegel bill. The reap
portionment in the various states
will be done by the legislatures.

Alabama Mule
Makes Sad Error
HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Jan. 20.—The
claim of Joseph Jones, of Merrimac,
to hospital attaches that he had
“some bean” was borne out Wednes
day when his’ story that he had
been kicked by a mule on the head
and that as a result the animal
was lying helpless with a broken leg,
was investigated and found to be
true.
' Jones said his way was blocked
by a stray mule and he made a
threatening movement to frighten it
away. It refused to stampede, how
ever, meeting the assault with a well
directed kick to the brow. The mule’s
leg was found to be broken in two
places. It was pronounced a help
less cripple and shot. Jones will
recover.
