FOR SUFFRAGISTS
Journal of American Medical
Association Thinks Militants
Are Insane.
•Put militant suffragettes in insane
asylums” is the suggestion of the
Journal of the American Medical As
sociation in Its current number, “and
if there is any hdunger strike Just
treat them for sitophobia."
Mrs. Pankhurst, who has Just come
out of prison after refusing to eat for
nine days, is the kind of sitophobiac
with whom the editor of the Journal
would like to see asylum methods em
ployed. The Journal Is the organ of
the great association, with headquar
ters in Chicago, to which many Amer
ican physicians belong.
The difficulties encountered by the
British authorities," says the Journal,
In the management of the militant
suffragettes suggest a solution to the
problem by declaring insane the rank
offenders In the destruction of prop
erty and other outrages. If we define
insanity as a condition of the sub
ject in which the subject Is so men
tally out of harmony with the general
environment as to be unable to con
trol conduct and to become a public
danger, and if we attribute It to some
nervous or mental disease affecting
the Judgment, some of these suffra
gettes would seem to fall under that
head. .
"For a woman of cultivation and
social standing the evidence would be
much stronger than in the case of an
Ignorant workingman. Confinement
In a criminal insane asylum on such
ti charge would be far better than in a
(ommon Jail with ordinary criminals.
Asylum authorities are accustomed to
treat the severest forms of sitophobia
and could manage a hunger strike far
better than jail officers.
The condition is apparently getting
serious enough to make the suggestion
of such a remedy a timely one and we
believe that it could be adopted with
the evidence afforded without an un
due strain, even on the British laws.
Woman suffrage may be a worthy
cause: If so It will ultimately prevail,
but the means now used in Great
Britain are not helping it much.”

GADSDEN AND ROME MEN
BACK INTERURBAN ROAD
HAD8DEN, ALA., April 15.—The
' hamber of Commerce has named
gates to attend a meeting of the
‘'Pnng, Ga. The distance is about 60
,np es and the territory is now without
railroad facilities.
NEW YORK. April 15. Despite firm
cables and active bidding for new crop
positions by the larger spot interests,
the cotton market opened barely steady,
with prices unchanged to 2 points higher
than Monday’s close. McFadden in the
initial trading bid for 5.000 and 10,090
bales of July and October, but bought
very little. The market only held firm,
with prices a shade above the opening
range.
After the call. Wall Street and the
ring were principal sellers. Sentiment
was bearish and there was nothing on
which to base strong opinions either
way.
Continued realizing later forced the
May option 9 points lower than the
opening, while new crop months fell 2
to 4 points from the early range.
At the close the market .was barely
steady, with prices showing irregularity,
being % to 1 % points lower on old crop
positions and 1 5 ^ to 2 points nigher for
new months from the final figures of
yesterday.
A wire from Memphis said that a levee
had broken at Modoc, Ark., six miles
south of Friars Point. This, however,
failed to stimulate any buying of conse
quence The weather conditions were
favorable. Temperatures were lower.
The light frost forecast did not hold true.
The selling of May and buying of July
contracts has been the principal feature
in to-day's trading. May fell some 4
points under .July. The liquidation of
May is said to have come from those
who purchased May on the belief that
the option would emulate December.
January and March, but holders became
inclined to sell when It was apparent
that local stocks are approximately 106,-
‘00 bales. There was a fear of these
tenders, and this scattered interest is
being sold and transferred by conserva
tives to the distant options. The ma
jority of traders believe there is a large
interest in May to come out. On the
other hand it is generally believed that
May will increase the decline about 10
»ofnt8 under July before notice day.
A wave of scattered short covering
steadied the market during the after
noon session, resulting in May retriev
ing a few points of the early decline.
Remote positions were unchanged to 2
points over the initial level. However,
the majority of traders are against the
market and the selling continued rather
general in absence of support from the
leading sources.
A renewal of the early buying by the
largert spot interests during the last
half-hour caused a wave of general short
covering, resulting in the market clos
ing steady with prices a net advance of
2 to 9 points from the final quotations
of Monday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, April 15. There was
no political news of consequence this
morning, except that the national strike
in Belgium is on. and trade of course is
at a standstill.
Liverpool was about two points lower
than <lue on futures. Spots 1 point
higher; sales 7.000 hales. Otir market
opened 2 points lower with feeling in-
• lined to be easy on account of good
weather prospects and more reassuring
river news, hut New York steadied,
which checked selling here.
According to New York advices, some
big traders are working on a scalping
plan on a large scale, buying around
! 1 %. without regard to the news re
ceived. believing the market again will
work up repeatedly to 12c.
The Journal of Commerce says cotton
goods men ore proceeding conservative
ly, cancellations being received. Shortly
after the close of Liverpool the market
weakened to 12.12 for July, then rallied
again oti a report tha the levee had
broken at Modoc, opposite Coahoma,
Miss., on the Arkansas side.
Spots here continue neglected and are
lower, but a large spot house in Alabama
wire': “Good inquiry from American
and European mills around these prices
Weather too cold for planting and germ

NEW ORLEANS. April 15. — Hayward
& Clark: The weather map is perfect.
It shows fair over the entire belt, ex
cept cloudy in spots in the Atlantic’s.
No rain except light sprinkles in the
north Alabama and Tennessee moun
tain districts. It is warmer all over and
there was no frost anywhere. Indica
tions are for fair to warmer weather
over the entire belt, except possibly
cloudy over northwest Texas.
The most important feature of to
day’s weather map is that it warmed
up 5 to 15 degrees overnight and yes
terday’s light frost forecasts were ful
filled.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: Barring cool weather in Texas
and the flood menace along the lower
Mississippi River, the cotton belt en
joyed favorable conditions and sellers
seemed anxious to make their presence
known. Liverpool sent rabies saying
the continent was realizing on a big
scale, that many bulls were losing heart
and throwing cotton overboard and that
Manchester is expected to be quieter.
On this side of the sea spinners profess
to fear the promised downward revision
of the tariff, but the fact that more
American spindles were in operation
during March than ever before would
not seem to suggest any very grave fear
on this score prior to April.
Five Southern spot markets reduced
quotations for middling one-sixteenth.
A few days of good weather have
brought out many reports from the fields
of exoellent progress being made with
the new crop.

SENTIMENT IN WHEAT
CONTINUES BEARISH 1
CHICAGO, April 16. Sentiment in
wheat last night was bearish and
tracers are looking for liquidation b\
May holders, which usually starts about
this time. The market, however, has
many friends ami trailers say unless
there was more pressure put upon the
market of late the declines are not e\--
pected to bo severe. It looked to dose
observers of trading in the corn pit
yesterday as if Armour and Eastern
longs were letting go their corn.
Armour sold July and September
heavily; also considerable May, and at
intervals brokers who frequently trade
for Armour were on both sides of the
market.
It was easier to trace the selling
than the buying. Those who are bullish
on corn think that with navigation prac
tically open and prospects that boats
will be able to get through the Straits
to-day or to-morrow, they predict a good
decrease in stocks here

Although conditions surrounding the
wheat market were as depressing from
the owners' standpoint as heretofore,
the market was strong during a good

prising strength following n rather easy
opening. The advance was hastened
by reinstatement of considerable corn
