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.” ILLINOIS SEEKS CONTROL OF UNCLAIMED DEPOSITS CHICAGO, April 15.—Th fact that a person's savings account in a bank has been left undisturbed for two or three decades must not be taken as evidence that the person is dead, or in an insane asylum, or has Joined lhe "mysterious disappearance club,” according to bankers who testified before Senator Johan Waages’ com mittee of inquiry. The committee is seeking informa tion in connection with proposed leg islation to have the State take over ail unclaimed balances of more than even years' undisturbed standing. ?

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.

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.

HAYWARD A. CLARK’S 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 ination."

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.

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.

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 NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKETS.

Wheat opened steads' to %e lower, with trade In May rather light and in July and September moderate. Corn Started eti) all around on ac count of fine weather and lower cables, which were generally easy. Oats were easier with wheat and corn, hut there was considerable changing going on in May, longs getting over into July. Although conditions surrounding the wheat market were as depressing from the owners' standpoint as heretofore, the market was strong during a good part of the day. Corn developed sur prising strength following n rather easy opening. The advance was hastened by reinstatement of considerable corn recently sold out by a leading elevator concern and also by covering by shorts. In oats, as in corn, there was a great deal of covering by shorts. The markei meanwhile rallied Provisions suffered from liquidation by longs all morning Cash sales: Wheat. 40.000 bushels: NORMAN FILES CHARGES AGAINST GUGGENHSIMS e WASHINGTON.
