conditions. First prices were two points
higher on May but generally one ot three
points lower ana the active months sold
ten to twelve points below yesterday’s
closing figures under a renewal of li
quidation and local pressure. Liverpool
was a buyer of December and January
and prices rallied a point or two to to
ward the middie of the mornig.
Prices showed continued weakness aft
er the close of Liverpool under contin
ued liquidation, active months selling
about fourteen to sixteen points net low
er shortly after midday.
The early afternoon break on the fav
orable weekly w'eather report carried
prices about seventeen to twenty-two
points net lower. Rallies of six or
seven points followed but the market
was still unsettled during the middle of
the afternoon.
Cotton futures closed steady.

NEw"YORK STOCK MARKET
New Yo:k.—The morning stock session
wrought no pronounced changes in the
representative group, few of which va
ried more than fractions. There was a
pronounced upward movement in the
specialties, however. Dry Goods pfd
rose almost foul* points. Rock Island,
pfd and the collateral bonds joined the
common shares in establishing new low
records. Sudden activity in Missouri
Pacific 4 per cent, bonds and tlie stock
which declined five and 1 % points, re
respectivelv, was preferable to the pro
posed financial readjustment of that
property. The bond list was quiet ex
cept fcfr some strength in Kansas and
Texas first and International Pump ss.
Selling of the Gould stocks continued in
the early afternoon, in connection with
reports of drastic scaling down of Mis
souri Pacific issues under the re-or
ganization. Missouri Pacific extended
its loss to two points and Denver’s were
lower. Active issues shaded in sym
pathy. A small expert of gold to South
America, presumably for London ac
count. was announced.
The market closed steady. Under
lead of Union Pacific, Baltimore and
Ohio. Pennsylvania and Lehigh Valley,
stocks were lifted out of their rut in the
fiijar hour. The activity was attended
by the time-worn rumor of an early an

Sentence Upton Sinclair
Affirmed by Judge Crain
New York.—The sentence imposed
on Litton Sinclair last April on a
charge of disorderly conduct‘for at
tempting publicly to rebuke .John D
Rockefeller in the Colorado strike
situation, today was confirmed in the
court of general sessions. When
Riven the alternative in the miutis
trate’s court of paying a fine of $5.00
or serving three days In the Tombs,
Sinclair chose the latter and began
a hunger strike. He served two
days, then bis wife paid the remain
der of the fine.
According to Judge Crain's opinion
today ' no citizen has a right to re
buke another citizen by subjeetlng
him to ridicule or insult.”
FOR SALEM SUFFERERS.
Salem, Mag*.—A request that each
do all in his power to have the sun
dry civil bill amended In the United
States senate so that an appropria
tion of $200,000 recommended hy
President Wilson for relief of fire
sufferers here might be approved was
telegraphed to every New England
senator today by John B. Tivnan,
chairman of the executive committee
of the relief committee. A similar
message was sent to the senate
propiatitms committee.
Shipments of Gold to
Europe Are at an End
W-'-ahington, D. C.—Gold shipments to
Europe aie practically at an end for this
year in the opinion of Geo. T. Roberts,
director of the mint. Two weeks ago,
Mr. Roberts said the excellent grain crop
iti this country, coupled with the had
crop conditions in Europe would soon
swing the balance of trade back toward
the United States and check the out
ward movement of gold. This predic
tion has been realized, he declared to
day, and the exchange rate has fallen to
a point where further exportation of gold
would he unprofitable.
GOLFING
New York.—After explaining that
some golf stories are like most fish
stories, we will proceed to “lilt a few
anecdotes from the “Queer Shots in
Golf’ article which appears in the
June issue of the Golfers' Magazine.
No names are mentioned in con
nection with a story of ho\£..a grass
hopper once got in the way of a roll
ing ball and kept it from dropping into
the hole. Probably, as they say in
breakfast food circles, "There's a rea
son.”
It seents that the golfer who was
thwarted by tile grasshopper, made a
terrific approach shot, and the ball,
landing some distance from (he green,
continued to roll and roll and roll. The
golfer was amazed to see the bail
finally roll onto the green, and head
directly for the hole. It seemed to
have sufficient momentum to carry it
into the cup, when, all of a sudden,
up jumped Mister Grass Hopper from
liis place of hiding, just in time to
see the hall bearing down upon him.
“Halt!" commanded the grasshop
per, aiming his left leg at the heart
of the ball.
The ball didn't halt.
“Hey, you, slip us the countersign
or roil don't enter here," roared the
grasshopper.
The hall ignored the demand for a
countersign, and so the grasshopper,
not being sure whether the ball was
friend or foe, but not caring to take
any chances, swung out one of ins
trusty feet, landed a perfect solar
plexus, and the hall was halted In Its
made career—Just on the rim of the
cup.
Opin Read, the author, and Dr. R. C.
Fisher, of Chicago, once played a
round over the Jackson Park course
and then sat under a tree to rest.
While seated, some other golfer sliced
a drive and the ball struck the tree
under which our heroes were sitting.
Both Read and Dr. Fisher ducked but
the ball did not fall to the ground as
far as they could see.
Pretty soon the golfer and his cad
dy came along looking for the ball.
The authorand physician joined In the
search hut it was unavailing. The
hall was not found then, but it was
found later. Nope, you've guessed
wrong wron.r. The hall did not drqp
down Ihe back of Read’s neck. it
dropped into the doctor’s coat pocket
anil he found it there that evening
when lie was searching around in the
pocket for a package of chewing gum,
or his pipe, or whatever It was that he
was esaret Ing for.
"How to Hole a Rail Without Swat
ting it with a Club” ought to he the
title of this one. It happened on the
North Borwlch course.
A thirty-six hole foursome was be
ing played. It was all even on the
thirty-sixth hole. One side got Ihe
ball to Ihe green, and dropped It Int i
the cup on the, next shot. The ball
of the other side was 20 feet away. A
gale was blowing, and the ball lay on
a point a bit higher up than the hols
level. The player figured the shot an
impossible one, hut he determined to
make a desperate try for It anyway.
Just as he was about to soak the
hall a nire soak, an extra strong gust
of wind came along and hit the hall,
shirting it to rolling down hill. And
whaddaya think of It! That ball
ro'lcd right Into the cuj-, so It did!
And Hie side that owned the hall woo
the match. How was that? Well, It
was decided that the player had not
grounded his club before the ball
started rolling, and, therefore, the roll
was counted as part of th last shot.
Pretty good figuring, hey?
But you can't always get. away wl*h
those kind of shots, as Is shown by an
other story In which a caterpillar fig
ured.
Evej-ything was even at the eigh
teenth. hob Player number one got
his hall onto the green arid holed it.
Player number two got his hall onto
the green, near the cup. which was In
a slightly sloping position, lie was
trying to figure out from JiiHt what
angle to shoot when a caterpillar
ambled along and climbed aboard the
ball.
Now, everybody knows that a eater.
I I liar doesn't weigh much, hut this
particular caterpillar was a fat fellow.
He was so fat ami bulky that he dis
turbed the equilibrium of the hall
enough to start it to moving. The had
gained momentum and finally rolled
right Into the hole, carrying the rater
pillar with It.
The player claimed that the hole
was his and the mate h also, claiming
he hurl not grounded his club and that
the caterpillar-propeller] movement of
the hall should be counted as part >f
the last stroke, But, when It was put
up to a final authority the claim was
disallowed. The referee said that the
icall should have been put back into
position without penally, on the
fheTn th a‘ ~a" missed
the hob* and rolled ten feet awav, the
golfer wcifhi have Insisted upon re.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Mrs. Walter Burns Guest of
Mrs. Astor
MRS. WALTER BURNS.
London. —Mrs. Walter Burns, wear
ing mauve brocade and emeralds, a
most striking costume and one very
well suited to her style of beauty, was
a guest of Mrs. John Astor at a small
dinner party which is attracting at
tention.
Mrs. Aster’s lovely Adam dining
room was decorated with yellow roses.
She wore a gown of deep rose brocade
and sliver lace, with a necklace of pink
diamonds and pink roses in her hair.
Mrs. John Astor is now considered
the greatest artist in dressing that
London lias ever known. Her friends
say she devotes five solid hours every
day—from 8 o'clock 1 nthe morning
until 1 o’clock In the afternoon—to
thinking out new dress creations, and
keeps a talented woman fully occupied
committing her Ideas on color and
draperies to paper. She has four warej
robe maids. In addition to dressers and
sewing maids.
A suite of four spacious rooms is
allotted to dresses. Then the wails
of one large room are covered with
cases for her footwear alone. No such
collection In point of style and ele
gance is to be found anywhere else.
At the Horse Show she wore a won
derful creation in white lace with
white lilies and a white lace hat with
silver and white roses. It was a dar
ing color scheme, but with her white
hair and peachlike complexion she
made the usual sensation.
She went to Paris to attend the
Duchess of Gramont's crinoline bad,
which was a dazzling succea. The
costumes of the women were of the
period of 1830 to 1870—hoops, flounces,
draped skirts, hair in bandeaux with
curls hanging over the shoulders,
short gloves, narrow velvet around the
neck—all with swinging crinolines
The Ear! and Countess of Oranard
were also there. Now Mrs. Astor Is
being importuned to give a crinoline
ball in London.
ATLANTA’S DIVORCE MILL
IS GRINDING THEM OUT
Atlanta, Ga,—The Fulton county di
vorce mill Is grinding again this week.
Always the courtroom Is filled with
women and children —there seems always
to be children In a divorce affair—and
with curious persons who come to hear
the rather salty testimony which marks
so many of the suits.
The first session this week was un
usual because of the number of deser
tion cases. Fourteen of the 32 cases
were on grounds of desertion.
Mrs. Eva ilennlg had a peculiar ease,
in that her husband filed an answer
from the Missouri penitentiary, where
he Is an Inmate. He admitted that he
was a gambler and a drunkard, but ask
ed that he might also he given a divorce
so he could marry again when he comes
out. He didn’t get It, though his wife
was freed from her bonds.
MTs. D. H. Keefer, a society woman
who has figured In many marital trou
bles and occupied several columns of
print, filed suit for divorce against Da
vid Keefer. Ory? of her allegations Is
that he threw a'becr bottle at her and
struck her daughter. Mrs. Keefer Is
Ihe same society woman who was dis
covered washing dishes in a cheap res
taurant several months ago. She said
she was doing It as a course in sanitary
conditions.

THOSE EMPTY
BERIINjKES
Vacant As the Result of
Hitches in the Running of the
Fatherlands Government.
Berlin.—Two groat buildings stand
empty in prominent parts of Berlin
as the result of hitches in the run
ning of the Fatherland’s government.
Many an amusing tale hovers about
the half-completed Military Cabinet
and “Kroll’s” scene of large scale
halls.
The Department, of War defied the
Reichstag In attempting to transfer
the special department of personnel
from an old stucco palace to a smart
thoroughfare on the edge of the Tler
garten,-whilst the Court Oipera was
to be established in new q/arters,
some distance away, facing the Par
liament House. But the Reichstag
has ereckinated both plans.
The question of the Military Cabi
net Is probably the object of the
greater amusement. The Department,
of War acted too hastily. In the first
place it made an exchange of laud
with private persons, which very soon
had to be repealed in face of the dis
satisfaction which it caused in the
Prussian Diet. The mattlr was not
eet right, and finally was put to ar
bitration. with the result that the
Department of War was ordered eith
er to pay compensation to the amount
of $780,000 or to purchase a plot of
land involved in these transactions
for the sum of $1,375,000.
Without Money.
Considering that when the decision
of the arbitrators was given a half
finished building was already stand
ing on this plot of land designed
from the beginning to house the Mil
itary Cabinet, this was rather like
Hobson's choice, unless the Reichstag
wished to he particularly Inconse
quential. So finally the acceptance
of the (purchase was ratified. But
as in the first instance the depart
ment had been working quite with
out consulting the Reichstag, the
building having been begun before
the Reichstag had voted a single
penny towards it—the department
came In for some sharp criticism; for
small aa afe its powers, the Reich
stag insists on more than a sem
blance of control over financial mat
ters.
The ghostly building has now stood
eighteen months without as much as
a brick, a tile, or a touch of paint be
ing added 1o it.
Architectural Ghost.
The other architectural ghost 1h
Kroll’s, the existence of which ha*
been constantly threatened for a
dozen years past. This mass of brick
and plaster has housed many a per
formance of exotic art, Italian and
Russian ballets, as well aa opera
(EnglUh performances of Shakes
peare, with occasional glimptses of
fine French comedy), in the course
of its long career.
For ten tears or more it has been
planned to erect the new Court Opera
on this site The City of Berlin, as
owners of the land, has willingly ap
proved of the idea, even though il
involves a free gift on their part,
which Is reckoned as being worth
$1,750,000, but as the Prussian DM
disagrees with the plans that, have
been laid before It nnd has refuse!
the first vote of $125,000 towards
building, the laying of the foundation
gione must needs be postponed Tor
another year.

Perhaps Paris will stand for such a

New York.-It Is too bad that the
Browns and Cardinals couldn't have hit
a winning stride before, this year. As
It Is. Hie fact that both the teams have
played a great article of baseball, and
that both are occupying higher positions
than In many years. Is discounted by
ugly rumors that Hie races In both the
American end National leagues ave fix
ed so that the Feds In St. Routs will bs
crushed out.
Such chargee are groundless Russ
ball nover has been a crooked game and
there Is not one olkncS In a million
A hat crookedness had entered Into It
this year in the extent of tha other
teams sacrificing their own chances for
winning tha pennant by giving th*
Browne and Cardinals enough gamee eu
that they will elay up In the race and
draw the crowds lo their pßrks.
Baseball leaders know that baseball
bus become the great national gome tha:
It la, not merely because It Is an exclt
log game from the spectator's viewpoint
but that It Is honest. The public know*
thiit games and pennarita are decided
upon eklll and luck ulone—-and that noth,
lug dishonest figures In the result, e'er
tain It Is that th* wise bnsetmll magnate
would not for an Instant countenance e
dishonest deal In baseball fry they know
that "murder will out, ' and that whoa
tho news of Hie crooked ness reached the
sane. It would sound baseball's death
knell.
