New York.—Cotton show* precisely the sort of strength which one woulil ex pect it to show in such circumstances as these, for no amount of hammering in the rllstant months can make shorts comfortable with regard to July and August. Indeed, all the signs indicate one of the tightest squeezes of recent times and it is impossible to fancy what will happen if the interest is as big as somp competent observers beleve it to be. It must not be forgotten that storks now consist largely of untenderable grades end punk which cannot help shorts In the slightest while the mills seem to want the better qualities at any old price. Today's weekly figures promise to be m'lrtly bearish, for the Into sight points to about 57,0. j bales vs. 17,000 lost year, while spinners takings will compare with 206,000. But these technicalities are of small consequence, because the size of the crop Is practically known Hnd it has long been evident thst the consumption would be measured by the crop.

Washington,— With the return of Majority Leader Underwood from Hot Springs, Ya., there was renewed ac tivity in the house today in behalf of a number of measures whose sponsors are anxious for action at his session of congress. Mr. Underwood's real program task ended when the three anti-trust bills were gotten under way under a rule which insures their prompt disposition so far as the house is concerned and house leaders fgure on passing all these measures by Sat urday or Monday Rural credits legislation is tied up in committee without prospect of action at this session. The general dam bill now has right of way in the house fol lowing the anti-trust and tuipropria tlon bills. The seamen's relift bill, al ready passed by the senate, is to lie urged, in addition house leaders are in favor of taking up as far as the ses sion will permit the national leasing bill and other conservation measures urged as administration propositions, a railway payy readjustment bill, the bill to regulate cotton futures, a work men's compensation bill and several other measures. Representative Underwood believes that if the senate acts upon the trust bills there will be no adjournment of congress before August. ■LESS CUT OFF BE REBELS « Guadalajara Surrounded and Radio Station Taken.

I„ B. ouit-übbeaU, Trustee of Welntr Bros., Bankrupts, A Patriot By Name of Stevens Started All This Excitement Over International Yacht Racing New York—A patriotic gentleman named .1. C. Stevens started all Ibis excitement over international yacht racing back in iB6O, ami since that timie something like $15,000,000 htvjs been spent In contesting for an ugly silver mug that has a real value of only about SSOO. Somewhere along In the latter part of 1849 a number of English persons began boasting about what wonderful skippers they were, an dthat they could build better boats and sat! them better than the Yankees. In due course of time these remarks reached the ears of Stevens, who was the first commodore of the New York. Yacht Club, "They can, eh?” snorted Stevens. Formed Syndicate. Whereupon Stevens formed a syn dicate which included some of the wetlthy sportsmen of that day and they ordered the building of n yacht of about 170 tons. George Steers, famed in those days as the greatest yacht builder on this aide of the At lantic ocean, was given the commis sion, and he turned out the slo<|,i America. The America showed Its stern to ev ery other American yacht with which it competed in trial events, and the American crowd then begun to bom bard the English with challenges. Af ter ignoring the challenge for a rather lengthy period, the Royal Yacht Club of England accepted and agreed to of fer a cup worth SSOO to the winner of the race that would be open to ttie world. The race was run on August 22, 1851, and the course lay from Cowes to the Isle of Wight and return. There were is entries originally, but only 15 started. These yachts varied In weight from 47 to 392 tons. The Am erica got off to a good start and led all the way. When Queen Victoria was told of the result of the race, she said: "The America won, did it? And who was escond?” No Second. “Your Highness," answered her in formant, “there was no second." Which really was true. The Amer ica was os far ahead of the others when she crossed the finish line that no one waited around long enough to find out which boat was following her la. Before the America sailed back to Its home some of the British sports menralsed the claim that the victory of the America was a fluke. They de clared also that the America had been built especially for racing purposes, while the other boats were just or dinary sailing vessels. "Huh,” responded Stevens, “Beat you fellows good and plenty and now you call It a fluke, eh? Well, I'll show you just how much I think of your boat and of your boasting sailors. I'll wager you $128,000 that the America can heat anything you build during the next year, and I'll keep her right here In England until you got your boat built.” Army of Detectives Engaged in Counting Noses at Federal League Parks New York—An army of detectives who can add—and subtract, If neces sary—-are employed by Organized Raeeball to count the noses of all per sons who enter the Federal 1-eugue parks this year. These mathematical sleuths arrive at. the grounds where the Feds play just as soon as the gates are opened. They enter and then, armed with a pencil, a tally sheet and a i«lr of serachlng orbs, proceed to arrive at the total of persons who ‘‘sit in" at the Feds doings. These reports are carefully item ized and show the number of 25 and 50 cent bleacherltes, the number of those In the grandstand and boxes and the number of persons who en ter through the medium of passes. All these report* are sent to Garry Herman, Chairman of the National Commission. Just what Garry finally v-11l do with those reports isn’t—as yet—a public, matter. It wouldn't be surprising to see Garry waddie forth one of these nice spring days waving those reports to show that the Fed eral league is a “joke.” But it's just possible that Garry won't do anything of the sort. Garry has made so many foozles of late that he Isn’t going to tako any more chances on providing the public with giggles at his expense. Some of the reports that have gone to Garry, including a few concerning the Pitts burg, Kansas City, BtiiTalo and In dlanarolis attendance, are so low that. It probably will make even Garry a bit skeptical. For Instance, In one of the reports from Pittsburg, which Barney Drey fuss, the Pirate owner vouches for, the paid Federal attendance was around 300. It's quite unlikely that Barney did the counting himself. No doubt, he got the figures form a sleuth. Now, it's possible that, the sleuth In this case, and the sleuths in other similar cases, weren’t as good at ad ding ns they ought to he. And Garry doesn’t want to slip the newspaper hoys copies of those reports and then wake up the next morning to dnd the figures and himself discredited by af fidavits from the Federal Club owners giving the teal figures and showing' that the sleuths missed more than half the crowd. One of the reports of the sleuths show that only about 11.250 persons attended tne Federal league opening game In Brooklyn and that about 2,500 of these entered via the pass route The owfcrs of the club have claimed a total paid attendance around 16,000, apd the newspaier men estimated the crowd at about 18,000, Including free admissions. The contractors who put up the plant claim to have Installed about 18,000 seats and ns only a few of those seats were vacant, on open ing day, It would seem that the de tective agency report In this case, at least deserves contradiction. The Feds Just now are giving a lot of attention to the New York City situation, with a view to the possible Invasion of Manhattan next year. The moving forces In the new league realize that he circuit must be changed next year; must be made stronger and more compact. It Is a cetalnty now that Kansas City and probably Indianapolis and Plttshur • will not be in the circuit In 1915. Kansas City never looked up as a good baseball x town, hut the Fedtf went Into It this year merely as a m ans of completing the circuit. Just what new towns the Feds are But Stevens’ offer was not accepted, and the America sailed back for home. The champion yacht carried a crew ol only seven men during its voyage across to England and hack to Amer ica, adding an extra eight men during the race. The yachts in these doy3 carry at least sixty men. Not Till Later. There were no further international yacht races until 1870, when J. As hury, an English sportsman, built the Cambria, a 227-ton boat, and chal lenged the Americans. His challenge Immediately was accepted ami the Americans set to work building the Magis, a 97-ton boat. Franklin Os good of Philadelphia was the designer. The Cambria and Magic sailed around the course that covered from Staten Island, N. Y., to Sandy Hook and return, and the Magic beat the big boat by more than 40 minutes. In 1871 Asbnry brought over the Livonia, and it was beaten by the Columbia, a new yacht that the Amer icans had built during the year. The Amert-an yacht Sappho was pitted against the Livonia while she was here during 1871 and defeated the chal lenger In the only two races that were run. Five Year* Later, Five years later a new yacht, the Countess of Duffcrln was brought over in an attempt to lift the cup, and the American yacht Madeline, after two races, sent the Countess back cup less. T'- a American Mischief defeated Ilia Atlanta in two races in 1881, and the Puritan defeated the Genesta in 1885.
