Selling Was Considerably
Scattered. Cotton Market
Ended at Net Decline 2 to 10
Points.
New York.—A very good weather map
and prospects for a continuation of fav
orable conditions over Sunday caused
considerable scattered selling gin the
cotton today and the cose wis
barely steady at a net decline of two to
ten po'nts.
Cables made a steady showing and the
opening here was steady at an advance
of one to a decline of two points with
the near months relatively firm. There
was some covering which gave the mar
ket rather a steady undertone after the
call but as soon as the official forecasts
were posted call ng for generally fair
weather over the belt, prices turned
easier under se ling by Wll street,
Southern and local interests. There
• Iso appeared to be some Liverpool sell
ing of new crop positions, while the an
nouncement of suspension of a local com
m ssion house may have had some senti
mental influence. although it seemed
the general impression that the concern
had no open contracts of consequence
In cotton. -
A few stop orders were uncovered on
the dec'ine and the market closed at
the lowest point of the day. Some of
the advices coming in from the south
west, while noting recent unfavorable
claimed that a few days of continued
good weather would bring about a rapid
improvement and the tlk around the
ring suggested that the expeota ion of
better crop accounts from that section
was the chief factors on the decline.
Private cables from Liverool reported
continental cover ng of May-June there
at the start followed by a barely steady
close as a result of realizing. Weekly
reviews of the drv goods situation in
dicated little change.

COP OFF
Further Decline of 2 to 5
Points Was Result of Satur
day’s Short Trading.
New Orleans.—A further decline of
two to five points was the result of to
day’s trading in tlie local cotton market.
A drop in prices shortly after the open
ing followed Liverpool downward shd
ing, as the result of a general improve
ment in weather conditions in all parts
of the cotton belt, and throughout the
short day there was a general tendency
toward lower levels. Pr ces were held
up somewhat, however, by the covet* ng
by traders for the short account, and
more or less buying for a moderate re
action over the week-end by floor trad
ers. At the end of the day the mar
ket was steady and showed a rather good
undertone.

Steady Improvement During
Day After Bad in Wall Street
in the Morning.
New York. —After a bad start today
the stock market improved steadily. In
dications favored another decline, but
the market developed unexpected
strength. Lust prices were fractionally
over yesterday’s close, with nmnifesta
-1 ons of real strength in a few issues, in
cluding Reading and Chesapeake «& Ohio.
Traders weie bearish beiore toe open- ■
ing. The overnight news couce ning |
Mexcan affars was dsquieting. Prices j
of American stocks n London were low- j
er. The Missouri Pacific problem was
complicated by the decision of Kuhn,
Loeb & Company not to finance the
company’s needs at this time. Yester
day's sharp* decline had unsettled confi
dence in the under.ying strength of the
market. Under these circumstances
traders expected little difficulty in bang
ing about a further decline.
Stocks were offered freely at the open
ing, and there was a general scaling
down of quotations. With a few excep
tions, however, recessions were limi ed
to fractions. Pressuie on the marke
failed to bring out long stock in vol
ume. It was apparent, moreover, that
a better demand existed at the lower
level established yesterday and the mar
ket soon began to swing upward. The
bears ceased selling and began to cover.
The improvement was slow, but it con
tinued uninterrupted to the close.
United States Steel's monthly tonnage
figures reflec ed the continued slowness
of steel trade conditions, but the de
crease of 376,000 tons was no larger
than had been predicted. The amount of
unfilled orders on the steel corporation’s
books at the first of the month fell un
der the low total of December 31st last,
and was the smallest of any month since
, November of 1911.
Missouri Pacific broke nearly two
points on sales of 3 000 shares at the
opening today, but later recovered. The
bonds reflected more definitely the fail
ure of recent financial plans. At the
day’s low prices, the convertib es were
two points lower and the 4s were down
3 1-2.
The expected ga'n in cash, amounting
to nearly $7,500,000, was shown in the
bank statement. In view of the con
tinued accumulation of funds here and
the unusually low rates for loans of al
periods, the announcement that $1,000,-
000 more gold had been engaged for
Paris had little effect.
Bonds w’ere irregular. Rock Island
bonds were active, rising 1-2 to 1 3-4.
Total sales (par value). $l,O-02,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call on the week.

Oats unchanged to a sixteenth lower

Although Argentine storms made corn

SENSATION FLOUR makes the

The Myraid Minded Shakespeare
Na'ure la democratic. It cares ab
solutely nothing for tne rules and regu
lations of men 1* does not give a
‘'tinker's damn" for our theories or cal
culations. but keeps on about Its busi
ness quite regardless of our human prog
nostications.
For example, one John Shakespeare,
tired of c'odhopplng, quits his farm
near Stratford moves Into town, and
goes Into the glove and leather business;
and three hundred and fifty years ago
today the word came to John that there
has Just, been born unto him a man
child, and that all was well with the
mother and babe.
That babe was to become Immortal
under the name of William Shakespeare,
| the king of the kings of Intellect, the
master of the masters of the hlstrlonls
art. In iterary power and majesty the
"foremost man of all this world.”
Ask not for the biography of this un
paralleled man. Ills work Is tils only
b'ography. He belong'-,] not to Strat
ford or to the sixteen h century, hut to
humanity and to the ages As well ask
for the biography of the sun, or of the
law of gravitation, or of the chemical
forces that vitalise the worlds.
When the Stratford man went down
to London he found all sorts of stage
plays, of all dales and degrees of merit,
most of them of unknown authorship.
Shakespeare reached out for th'ae piece!
right and left, dived >4,0 the storehouat
Of the past like un other In s fish pond,
delved Into the stores of Ids native
England and. selecting what suited him
began his business us dramatist. The
greatest llternry thief that ever lived,
he took whatever he thought he cou ci
use. In the first, second and third
parts of Henry VI., for ex <mp|e. out of
the 6,043 lines, hut 1,899 were the work
iof Shakespeare. And so It goes sll
through.
Taking these dry bones he put thorn

Tidwell Trial Will Begin at
Greenville WJfun a Few Cays
Geo. W. Tidwell, Former Augustan, Shot R. Emette Walker,
One of the Most Prominent Young Society Men of Car
olina Town.
Greenville, S. C. —A South Carolina
jury will be called next week to pass
upon tho "unwritten law’” when tleo.
W. Tidwell, a well known traveling
man, with headquarters at Clinton, S.
C., is placed on trial in criminal court
here for the murder of R. Emmett
Walker, paymaster of the Carolina
mill, and one of the leaders of the
younger society set of this city.
Tlie case promises to be one
of the most sensational ever tried
in the state.
The story of a hnppy home wrecked
by the unfaithfulness of ills pretty and
attractive wife and nayardness of his
beautiful young daughter, both of :
whom, as he claims finally yielded to '
perisistent entreaties on the part of ;
Walker and William G. Woods, anoth- j
er prominent young man of the city,
will be told by Tidwell. He will ask
the Jury to clear him upon the ground
that he was Justified in killing a man
who had invaded the sancity of his
home, whether that justification be
Writ in the statue hooks or not.
The tragic killing of young Walker,
which occurred on March 12, in the
corridor of the Carolina mill offices,
followed the refusal of Walker to agree
to the condition imposed by Tidwell a
I lew days before for a satisfactory set
tlement of the wrongs, which the lat
i ter alleged had been done him. This
condition was that Walker become the
husband of the girl, the virtue of
i Whom Tidwell claims he had robbed.
Shot While Shaking Hands.
Engaging un automobile on the
morning of the tragedy, Tidwell drove
from the hotel, at which he was stop
ing to tho mill office a mile away
When he alighted from the car he told
his chaffeur who was ignorant as to
his Intentions to wait for him as he
would ho in tho office only a few min
utes. Knocking at the office door Tid
well was met by Walker. He asked
Walker to come out Into the corridor
a minute.
When Walker stopped out, Tidwell,
proffered Ills right hand and Walker
offered his in return. As tho two
clasped hands, Tidwell with ills left
hand drew a gun from ills coat pocket
nnd fired three shots, two of which
took effect. Young Walker died al
most instantly.
Tidwell then walked hastily to the
waiting automobile and told tlie chauf
feur that he hoped he got ills mim. He
bade the chauffeur drive him to ttie
sheriff's office. There he surrendered
| To newspaper men a few hours later
Tidwell declared that he had before
going to tlie mill gone into the store
where Woods Is employed looking [or
him hut that he wns out. His inten
tion, he said, was to deal death to both
of the young men who had Invaded his
home.
Telegram Led to Tragedy.
The story of the causes leading up
to the tragedy Is a revolting,one. Tid
well claims that Ids first intimation
that his wife was untrue to him and
that ids daughter hud stepped from
the paths of virtue came in a telegram
which he received at Gheraw, H. C.
This telegram told him, he claims, that
his wife and daughter were in Green
ville timt evening in company with
: two young men
| On this very evening, officers ap
; prehended tlie two women and took
them into custody. The young men
were not apprehended. Tidwell arriv
ed in the city the following day nnd
I took his wife and daughter to a hotel.
I Sunday Tidwell had a conference In j
ids room at the hotel with young Wal
ker and told him that he should mar
ry his daughter. Walker declined stat
dng that tlie glrlo was not Ills equal
I socially. This was the last meeting
| between tho two until tho morning
i Tidwell drove, to the mill office and
without exchanging any words save
those of the greeting took the life of
Walker.
