NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York, Dec. 2l.-Todays events
on the cotton exchange were interest
ing. with developments in connection
with the settlement OF December short
accounts exciting at times. There
WAS no indication during the forenoon
OF any movement to squeeze Deem
Der shorts and not until nearly mid
afternoon did the storm break, which
carried December with a rush to 1925,
as against last nights closing of 9.S3.
On the opening The market was quiet
and firm with prices unchanged to s
points higher. Bullish cables from Liv-
crpool and Manchester. together with
smaller port and interior receipts than
expected. were responsible for the rise
ana n subsequent further gain of ?m3
points Profit taking set in and before
the FIRST half hour had elapsed prices
fell sharply SIl10 points. Room cover
ing checked the decline Southern in
formation was firm, without indication
OF special new features. IL would be
a difficult matter to determine just
who started the buying in December
but almost before the pit was aware
of it that OPTION was soaring upward
rapidly, with shorts in q panic. Offer
ings appeared to have been entirely
withdrawn and not until 1925 was
reached could holders be induced to
sell sufficient cotton TO aDatc the alarm
of oversold room operators. Talk OF
1919 for December before delivery day
ielped 10 Intensity the excitement.
The fact that spot cotton was advanced
hc. only Increased the belief that
there was no help for shorts in the
event of holders deciding to squeeze
them. At the close the market was
barely steady, with prices net - points
higher 20 points lower.

Fears for the Julia.

Menominee, Mich, Nov. 12.-Consid.
cradle uneasiness is being felt for the
safety of the little schooner Julia and
her crew. The Julia had a cargo of
flour and hay, and left Little Sturgeon
bay for this port just before Saturday
gale broke. Since then nothing has
been heard from her.
The boat is owned and sailed by
Capt. Olson of Marinette, Wis. 1t is
hoped that she sought shelter in some
bay and rode out the storm in safety.
The steering gear Of the steamer I.
Watson Stephenson broke when the
steamer was entering the harbor dur.
ing the storm. The seas drove her
into the south pier but tugs rescued
her before serious damage was done.
The ice crusher Algomah arrived from
the 500 Sunday. and will take her
place on the winter run between Me.
nominee and Sturgeon bay at once.
She will keep the route open all win.
ter and make daily connection for the
Ann Arbor 81 Goodrich line steamers.

Tho Missouri Fire Horror.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-. Nov. IA par
tial search of The ruins of the burned
Clifford House was made Tuesday. but
only one unidentified body was recov-
cred. The debris is still burning, and
the intense heat has retarded the work
of the searchers. 1t is now considered
certain that five more bodies lie buried
beneath the ruins. for the odor of
charred flesh comes from five different
spots. 1t is given out authenticity by
Night Clerk Swain that every one OF
the forty-fve rooms in the house were
occupied Sunday night while the reg.
lister contains but fourteen names. II
is said that the management was not
particular in having the guests regis
ter when they came In during the
night. Winslow Stowe and Eta Har-
grove, whose injuries were pronounced
fatal are still alive. The rest OF the
injured are recovering slowly. Eugene
Dalton, who 1t was thought had lost
his life in the holocaust. has been 10
Gated at Hot Springs, Ark. 1t Is be
leved that one OF the bodies that lie
buried beneath the ruins Is that OF
Robert Sawyer. Of ST. Louis. He came
here a few days ago and his relatives
have been unable to locate him.

ASKS FOR
DISBARMENT
JUDGE WEST. OF LANSING, MAKES
CHARGES AGAINST ATTY. ROos
IN CONNECTION WITH THE AL
LEGGED MILITARY STEAL.
TEN PERSONS INJURED IN A RAIL
ROAD COLLISION.

Lansing, Mich. Nov. 13.-Judge
Weist yesterday morning caused some
thing OF a sensation in the supreme
court by asking the court 10 direct the
encouragement to investigate and in
stitute disbarment proceedings against
Il. s. Roos. Kalamazoo attorney, and
director in the HenderSon-Ames Co.,
so prominently concerned in the alleg.
ed military steal. Judge West read
from manuscript and called attention
TO the facts in detail regarding the for.
nation of the fictitious Illinois Supply
Co. by these directors. for the purposes
OF successfully carrying through the
fraud. and related the fact that Bick.
erstatf. after first appearing before the
grand jury, returned to Kalamazoo and
told the directors what he had testified
to and what he had been asked. where.
upon the directors held the famous
Sunday meeting. and each contributed
$4,000 toward fund Of S27 900, which
was deposited in the bank, TO the order
of IT. Z. Stauffer. trustee. so that the
latter might appear before the grand
Jury and swear that the profits OF the
deal were still in the bank undivided.
'Mr f. s. Roos. the attorney and
West. ''took part In these meetings uf
the directors and contributed S4,5UO to
this fund. so that Mr.. Stauffer might
commit perjury before the grand jury.
Mr. Kauffer did appear before the
grand jury, and did commit deliberate
perjury. These facts came to my at
tention in the case OF Eli X. Sutton.
I have with me the testimony OF Mr..
Il rsnT ~
Henderson-Ames Co. and without fur
Their comment wish to file it here. and
ask that the attorney-general he in
structed TO institute proceedings for
the disbarment OF r. s. Roos.
This afternoon the supreme court en-
tered an order directing the attorney
general to investigate the charges
against Attorney RoOs, and If. in his
opinion. such action IS warranted, 10
present the matter to the court Tor
consideration.

Arguments Postponed.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The United
States supreme court Monday post
poned the argument in what are
known as the Porto Rico and Philip
pine cases until Dec. IL. The cases
are entitled in one instance, 81. II.
Goetz VS.. the United States" which
involves the right to collect duty on
goods imported from Porto Rico into
the United States after the peace
treaty with Spain went into effect,
and Fourteen diamond rings VS.. the
United States" In this latter case
Emil j. Pepke, a United States sol.
der is the claimant of the rings and he
is accused of smuggling them into the
United States from the Philippine isl
ands. The postponement was made at
the instance of Attorney General
Griggs and the object of it is to have
other cases involving cognate ques-
tons now pending in the United States
circuit courts argued in the supreme
court together with these two cases.
In their broader significance these
cases involve the question whether
Porto Rico and the Philippines are
part of the United States and as such
entitled to free commercial inter
course with it.

Near the little town of Woods Cor
ners, about six miles from Ionia, resides
II. l.. Pierson, farmer by occupation,
and like all hard working tillers OF the
soil he has found the burdens the back
must bear no light load TO carry. Few
people who never lived on the farm APP
preciate what it means to follow the
pillow from sunrise to sunset, but If the
public in general don't know how hard
such work is, the kidneys do. Long
hours of work of any kind means long
hours for the kidneys, and they can't
stand it without rebeiiing. When the
farmer comes home tired out at night,
if he only realized that the tired feel
ings mostly always core from tired
kidneys, and that the lits.e wonder
workers, Doan's Kidney Pills, would
right the wrong brought on by o. oir
work, life would be easier for him.

A Total Loss.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Nov 49,
The schooner A. G. Heating. which
broke away from the steamer City OF
New York in the recent gale on Lake
Superior. went ashore above Copper
Mine Point, and has become a total
loss. The spot where the Heating
stranded is a rocky beach 25 miles
above whitefish point, on the Cana.
dian shore.
The New York started out to find
the barge and came upon the wreck
late yesterday. The hold was full of
water, and it was impossible to effect
her release.
The vessel was stripped of every.
thing of value, and the New York re-
turned here. All OF the crew of the
barge were saved when their boat
went ashore. and they are now on the
New York.
