NEW YORK, April 21. —The cot
ton market opened easy today at a
decline of 29 to 43 points and sold
3S to 58 points net lower during the
early trading under local liquidation
and southern and Wall street selling
on reports of good weather in the
south over ’.he holiday. May de
clined to 29.77 and October to 24.55
under this pressure, but there was
widespread covering at the lowei
prices and the market showed rallies
of 9 or 10 points from’ the lowest to
ward the end of the first hour.
* The Liverpool market was closed
today.
The early decline brought in
enough covering Jater to steady the
market with probably a little buy
ing on prospects for showery weath
er in eastern belts. On the whoie,
however, the weather news was con
sidered lavorable and rallies of 10
or 12 points from the lowest- were
not fully maintained. Trading was
very quiet late in the forenoon. At
midday May was selling around 29.88
and October 24.59 or about 40 to 45
points net lower.
Offerings increased during the
early afternoon and the market was
weak under commission house, Wall
Street and Southern Selling accom
panied by talk of a weaker stock
market and comment on the weath
er news as pointing to a probable
favorable weekly review from the
weather bureau on Wednesday.
May broke to 29.55 and October
to 24.34 with active, months showing
net declines of about 60 to 80 points
around 2 o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, April 21.—The
cotton market opened easier and first
trades showed losses compared with
Thursday’s close of 12 to 34 points.
Liverpool continued closed. The
weather over the holidays was gen
erally favorable and the weather
map showed practically no rain.
Mill-takings for last week were
small, 170,000 bales against 176,000
last year. Prices continued to ease
off after the opening and May soon
traded as low as 29.83, July at 27.90
and October at 23.87, or 43 to 52
points down from the previous close.
The undertone was generally bear
ish.
After easing off 3 to R points ad
ditional at the end of the first hour
of trading, bringing May down to
29.80, July to 27.82 and October to
£3.84, or 46 to 60 points below the
previous close, the market relapsed
into dullness. Prices fluctuated
aimlessly during the rest of the
morning, within a range of 15 points.
The fact ' that tomorrow will be a
legal .holiday here, state election
day, had a good deal to do with the
general unwillingness to trade, as
business in the local market will be
suspended.

CHICAGO (Monday). April 21. —
t Wheat acted a little over-bought to
day. Txiere was enough strength
1 shown to indicate that shorts must
: not take any undue liberation, but
1 sales were difficult to make with
r out affecting prices. There was a
’[dip after the opening on local pres

- Haughen bill would not even come
; Ito a vote, and that the senate would
. |l<ill trie $10,000,000 appropriation for
lithe purpose of feeding starving- Ger

riM'S STRENGTH
STRIKINGLI SHOWN
BY NEBRASKA VOTE
CHICAGO, A'pril 19.—David Ladd
Rockwell, chairman of the McAdoo
l national campaign, issued the follow
ing statement after a conference
with Arthur Mullen, of Omaha, Neb.,
newly elected Democratic national
committeeman of that state:
“One of the most significant of all
expressions of public opinion so far
in the Democratic presidential nomi
nation campaign is that of Nebraska.
Several* facts in relation to the Ne
braska situation go to make this so.
“In the first place, there was no
candidate for Hie Demicratic pres
idential nomination filed in the state
of Nebraska. William Gibbs -Mc-
Adoo was not filed, out of deference,
to his belief that he should not enter
the state in which Governor Charles
W. Bryan was a prospective candi
date. Governor Bryan did not en
ter because his name could not ap
pear twice on the same ballot and
he had filed for renomination as gov
ernor.
‘‘Accordingly the official ballot at
the Democratic primary had on it:
'For President’ with a blank line un
der it.
Got 10,000 Without Effort
“The McAdoo forces in Nebraska
made absolutely no effort whatso
ever for a writing in of Mr.’Mc-
Adoo’s name. Arthur Mullen, the
-McAdoo leader in the state made no
declaration vvh (soever because of
the desire on Mr. McAdoo’s part not
to be an entry in the primary. There
was no newspaper publication, or in
fact any movement of any type to
have Mr. McAdoo’s name written
into the ballot. Yet the result of the*
election was that about 10,000 people
wrote Mr. McAdoo’s name in on the
ballot and in addition to this put
a cross mark beside it. The result
in 605 precincts out of 1,800 in the
state was: /
McAdoo. 3,677; Ford, 435; Smith,
oJ?’ W ' J ' Bl ’y an - 340; CWls. Bryan,
•>•s□, Gilbert. Hitchcock, 168 j Senator
Thomas J. Walsh, 64; Thomas Allen,
58; James M. Cox, 67; Oscar Under
wood, 25: LaFollete, 24.
The vote over the entire state
gave McAdoo about the same propor
tion. The Smith vote was a great
deal less, the main part of it >3OO
votes) having been east in Hie city
of Omaha, in which McAdoo got
1.987,. Ford 209. IV. J. Bryan 143,
Charley Bryan 40, Walsh 42, Hitch
cock 65, Underwood 10, Ralston 8.
The .significant thing about the c
vote for McAdoo in Nebraska was
that in each instance the voter had
not only io write Mr. McAdoo's
name in on the ballot, but to mark
a cross by that written-in name.
“There were thousands of voters
who wrote Mr. McAdoo’s name in
but did not mark a cross there. Un
der the ruling of the state election
officers, such ballots were not
counted, even though the intention
was plain.
Equalled Wilson in 1912
“For 10,000 voters in Nebraska
who had written Mr. McAdoo's
name, in on the ballot and to hav?
checked a cross mark by it. in an
election i n which Mr. McAdoo was
not entered and in which no effort
whatsoever was made by his ad
herents to secure such writing in.
is certainly' a magnificent demon
stration of the outstanding strength
of Mr. McAdoo throughout the west.
Ihe showing is even more remark
able because an organized effort, had
been made to have Governors
Charles W. Bryan’s name written
in. The total McAdoo vote was at
least two to one of the sum total
of all the other candidate?.
“In 1912 a very active campaign
was carried on in Nebraska by three
presidential aspirants: Champ Clark,
M oddrow Wilson and Judson Har
mon. Each group had a thorough
organization in the state, wiilv coun
ty machinery, active leaders, prop
aganda, etc. The total vote cast in
the 1912 Democratic primary and
that in the 1924 Democratic pri
mary in Nebraska were about idem
tical. In the 1912 primary the re
sults were as follows in round fig
ures: Champ Clark, 26,000; Wood
row Wilson, 14,000; Harmon, 12,000
“The striking feature of this year’s
election is that Mr. McAdoo, with
out his name on the ticket and with
the voter having to make a great
physical effort, and without any
campaign of any sort, secured ap
proximately as many votes as did
either or Harmon in 1912.
What finer demonstration could
there be that Mr. McAdoo is (die
hope of progressive democracy* andi
the natural leader of the progress-i
ive forces in the .party, with th?
keen attachment of the rank ami 1
file all through the middle west, j
west and s u:h to him?''

iAppeals for Tickets
Deluge Committee as
G.O.P. Meeting Nears
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April' 19.
Y'arie.i appeals for tickets to the Re
publican national convention, to
open here June 10, are deluging
headquarters of the ioCai convention
committee. They are referred to
the national committee at Washing
ton. Probably* th e briefest and most
sanguine follows:
“Please mail to me in the inclosed
stamped envelope a ticket to the
Republican convention.”
“Lost $125 on you for governor,”
was the commanding argument hu'ri
ed at a Cleveland leader by one ap
plicant tickets.
“You will probably recall.” urged
anolhyr, “having met me when you
were in 1. — during y.»ur cam-
paign. We were together oh* the
bandstand from which you spoke
that evening.”
“From the time I x was large
enough to carry a. drum,” a fourth
proclaimed, “1 have done my part.
J am a * hirty-second degree Mason,
have a wife who was reared a Re
publican and three tons whom I
expect to vole the Republican ticket.
Mr. N., in the bank here, is a very
good friend of mine.”
"1 have been an ardent Republic
ans as x are all my relatives,” is a
typical argument. Similar pleas fol
low:
'I have nine children and every
one (doubly underscored) votes the
Republican ticket.”
‘I have never attended a conven
tion of the party for which 1 have
always worked and supported,, to
say nothing of father and four '
brothers and as many isters.”
NO THREAT MEANT,
HANIHARA ASSERTS
IN NOTE TO HUGHES

‘grave consequences.’ In using these
words, which 1 did quite ingenuous
ly, 1 had no thought of being in any
way disagreeable or discourteous,
and still less of conveying- ‘a veiled
threat.’
Feels jjincere Respect
“On the contrary, it was in a
spirit of the most sincere 'respect,
confidence and candor that I used
these Avoids, which spirit 1 hope is
manifest throughout my entire let
ter,-for it was in that spirit that I
wrote you. I never suspected that
these words, used as I used them,
would ever 'afford an occasion for
such comment or interpretation as
ITave been given them.
“You know, I am sure, that noth
ing could be farther from my thought ,
than to give cause for offense to
your people or their government,
and I have not the slightest doubt
that you have m> such misunder
standing as to either the spirit in
which I wrote the letter in question
to you or the meaning I intended
for the phrase that I used therein.
“In view, however, of what has
transpired in the jcourse of the pub
lic discussion in the senate, I feel j
constrained to write you, as a mat
ter of record, that J did not use the
phrase in question in such a sense
as has been attributed to it.
“I am my dear Mr. Secretary,
"Yours ve r y l l rul v,
“M. HANIHARA,”

SOVIET STATESMEN
OTNTIIGOL®
ANO EMIL PRESS
MOSCOW. April 19.—British, Ital
ian and Norwegian recognition has
put Moscow back into the top hat
market.
Bolshevik diplomatists who, prior
to the Genoa conference, were con
tent to wear soft shirts and trous
ers baggy at the knees, turned to
white collars for official purposes
only when the first trade missions
arrived from western Europe, but
[ they could hardly then have been
■ called a fashionable lot.
| With the coming to Moscow, how
i ever, of European diplomats with
all the sartorial traditions of their
i profession, those employes of the
I soviet foreign office whd have to deal
! With such perfectly tailored emis
saries blosswied. out in frock coats
[ and all their accompaniments.
One member of Commissar George
i Tchrtcherine’s staff, whose post
might be compared to that of mas
ter of ceremonies, has to \vear most
of the clothes. He is M. FJornisky,
once Russian vice-consul in New
York under the czar regime. M.
Florinsky is a very busy man. He
holds the responsible post of head
of the Scandinavian division of the
foreign office and in addition has tc
meet the trains and welcome incom
ing ambassadors and other persons
of importance.
Some of the old dyed-in-the-wool
proletarian communists are publicly
objecting to .Bolsheviks in top hats,
i One Moscow newspaper conducted a
series of debates on the subject, in
which M. Litvinoff, ideputy commis
sar for foreign affairs, and numer
ous soviet ambassadors abroad par
' ticirated.
The subject was what sort of a
uniform should a Bolshevik diplo
mat weatx at a foreign court. The
ruling impression was that they
I should wear whatever simple, court
clothes were required by the cus
toms df the court to which they were
assigned.
The views of Lenin on this sub
ject were quoted at length. llis
idea on this, as on almost every
thing else, was that Bolsheviks
should do in Rome as the Romans
do. It was recalled that once, when
M. Joffe complained that he didn’t
want to go to the German Kaiser’s
court and wear knee breeches, Lenin
sard to him: “Oh! Wear petticoats
if you have to: The main thing is to
get to court.”
Most of the Bolshevik emissaries
abroad were reared to a frock coat
existence, only abandoning it when
they became converts to Bolshevism,
They tucked their dinner jackets
and other fashionable regalia into
theqj trunks with moth balls to pre
serve them until it became Bolshe
vik fashion, too, to wear white col
lars again.
Baby Held by Doctor
In Default of Bill
Returned to Mother
CHICAGO, April J 9.—A writ of
habeas corpus early today restored
Eleanor Nodine, 14 months old, to
her mother, after the baby had been
held in a hospital oh orders of the
physician for a $215 bill, contracted
during treatment for pneumonia.
The mother, earning S2O a week, was
unable to pay the bill and the phy
sician refused to permit the child to
ieave l.efore settlement was made.

IMINTERSENTENCES
TOSTBJPUEME
TBIBOE ORDERS
The slate supreme court Saturday
■affirmed the deg th sentence of J. W.
| Minter and the life imprisonment
sentence of Grady Minter, charged
! with the murder of Millard Trouten.
la son-in-law of J. W. Minter, in
iCoweta county, several months ago.
ilt. was charged that the Minters
j.-iml several companions drowned
| Trouten by throwing him off Ar
j nohi's bridge over l.ine creek, be
, tween Coweta and Fayette conn
ties.
The appeal was made on the
ground that the trial judge failed to
give instructions on voluntary man
slaughter ami it question of the
jurisdiction of the Coweta superior
court. The supreme court ruled that
attorneys for the defense agreed
that the Minters were guilty of mur
der or nothing, and also held that
the waters of Line creek are entire
ly in Coweta county, giving the su
perior court of that county jurisdic
tion in the case.
As a part of the record there was
a confession from Grady Minter to
the effect that he and his father and
several other men bound the hands
and feet of Trouten, tied a twenty
five-pound rock on his chest and
threw him off the bridge. Two of
them went down under the. bridge to
make sure that Trouten drowned.
Chief Justice Russell and Justice
Atkinson dLsented. w
The supreme court also affirmed
lhe life sentence imposed upon
Floyd Weldon, one of the compan
ions of the Minters. It was charged
that Weldon took part in the mur
der by going- after the rock with
which Trouten was weighted down.
New Mercury Formula
For Heart Affliction
Is Believed Success
HARTFORD, Conn., April 19.
Application of a new mercurial
formula, discovered at Johns Hip
kins Medical school, and generally
administered in cases of kidney and
septic inflammation, has apparently
effected a cure in two cases of ma
lignant heart disease, usually fatal,
according to announcement at St.
Francis hospital, here. The patients,
one a boy iwid another a young man
of 25, were suffering with high tem
peratures and with little dpance of
recovery, the doctors stated. After
the remedy was applied, tempera
tures returned to normal and both
patients are believed to be out of
danger.
FORM I LA NOT A SUCC ESS.
SAYS XEW HAVEN DOCTOR
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 19.
: Use of the new mercurial formula
discovered at Johns Hopkins Medical
school by physicians in attendance
jon Judge James H? Webli, of the
state superior court, critically ill
with septicaemia, has not proved as
successful as had been hoped, ac
cording to Dr. George 11. Josiin.
The treatment was administered
about a week ago and immediately
afterward the patient showed a
marked improvement, but this has
not been maintained.
Mt. McKinley Sinks
Two Feet Yearly on
Account of ’Quakes
M'KINLEY PARK, Alaska, April
19.—Tradition lias it that Mount Mc-
Kinley Hie loftiest peak on the
Ameiican continent, sinks about two
feet a year from its official altitude
of 20,■’.00' feet.
Residents of the region are con
vinced Hat this happen--. They point
out that there is an average of four
earthquake shocks a year, and con
tend that the mountain settles about
six inches with each tremor.
Byway of attempted confir'nation,
they refer to the Aleutian islands.
| According to recent reports from
I scientific sources, no one can state
I the location or altitude of many of
■the small islands in the Aleutian
archipelago. One day an island may
[appear well above water and the next
jit may have vanished.
Numerous small islands, including
i Bogcsiuv, are reported to have disap
pea red without a trace. Bogoslov is
recalled as the island which sudden
i ly appeared while the crew of the
coast guard cutter Bear looked on,
[ in 7906
For these topographical freaks the
i blame is placed on Mount Katmai
■ano Favaloff volcanoes, which inter
mittently send out dense clouds of
smoke ami flame.
