New York, January 29.-Never in the
knowledge OF the eldest traders has
the cotton market shown the abnormal
conditions existing to-day 1t is no un-
usual thing TO witness a Squeeze at
the end of the season, but a corner in
January is something out of the or
binary Yet a January squeeze has
been worrying shorts in the cotton
market here for some time past. Some
believe that the deal, eliminated to-day
with a rise of 255 points; others be-
heve that the actual liquidation has
not been fully completed, and that
therefore, there may be further SEN
sational developments. The market.
beyond the special attention given to
January, has been almost lifeless.
Closing Saturday 1920, January open-
ed this morning "a 1880 and advanced
rapidly to 1915. The market broke later
TO 1l-50, which was the level at noon
The greatest jumps We're from 1880 to
100, from 1925 to 1850 thence to 1915.
At the latter point. a New York con-
Germ representing big New England
interests, commenced to sell right and

also sold This stopped the rise and the
market sagged off to- 11.5O.

made this morning by express. guaran-
teed TO be here in time for January de-
livery. About $4,000 bales January
changed hands before noon. IT does not
follow that long interest was nouidat-
ed to this amount, as the clique bought
as well as sold. There was a sympa-
thetic rise in February and March. the
former selling as high as $50 and the
latter at ga. while the excitement in
January was the greatest; but the gen.
eral list made a reluctant advance Of
only 3 and points, and ruled very
dull
During the rest Of the afternoon the

the E-crfhc.Gt~r suit.


New York. January 2S.-Justice
Beach, in the Supreme Court to-day
handed down decision continuing the
temporary injunction restraining
George j. Gould. Edwin Could, Howard
Gould and Helen Gould. as trustees Of
the estate Of their father. from paying
over the income Of the portion of the
estate belonging to their sister Aneq
Gould. Countess de Castellane pending
the trial of an action brought by Asher
Wertheimer London bric-a-brac
dealer, against the Count and COUNTESS
de Castellane. for $685., coo for paintings
and bric-a-brac furnished them.
Justice Beach permits the payment ca
100000 a year 10 The Counters for the
support Of erself and children, pend
ing the trial of the action. The court
said.
'"rhe objection to the courts juris
diction is not well taken. 1t is appar-
ent that il is Impossible Tor the plain
tiff to obtain judgment against the
principal debtors by public service OF
process, by reason of non-residencc
and consequently the issuance and !,
turn of execution is equally without j
power.
THE fifth clause of the first codicn
the will of Jay Gould provides tina
not be liable in the hands of the ex
ecutors and trustees for any debt
liability of the beneficiary (the Coun-
tess de Castellane).
This declaration has no protective
power in this State, although in some
others it has been held effective.
THE real ground upon which estates
have been declared alienable and liable
for debts is that in alienable rights OF
property are opposed to the funda-
mental principles of the common law
and that ii is against public policy that
a man should have an estate to live on
but not an estate to pay debts with
that he should have the benefits OF
wealth without the responsibilities.
Unless the injunction and action are
upheld the plaintiff and his assignoI
(Wertheimer) despoiled of their pro
perty, will be absolutely remediless
with nothing left bat the broken
promises and the commercial dishonol
or their debtors"

STUDENTS AND THE
HONOR SYSTEM

The reasons-pitiful though they are
for student dishonesty seem to lie
in the attitude which the student un-
consciously assumes toward his teach
ers. He looks upon them impersonally
as his natural enemies, much as the
thief looks on society. Traditionally
he feels rather proud of outwitting
them-iust as some thieves are
elated when they escape from police
men after an exciting chase. He thinks
that when he cheats in his studies he
is doing something quite daring, and
there is some excitement for him in
the risk. He may be honest at the out
set of his studies, but there is con-
tagion of dishonesty among his fellows
and he is quite likely to need the de-
terrent influence which comes from
public CONTEMPT for a bad act. The
average student is a boy who is play
ing at being a man. AS boy he lacks
responsibility; as a man, he claims it;
and there is a sort of unconscious dis
honesty in that very claim. There are
boys and boys, as there are men and
men; so, perhaps, it has been mis-
take to put students on their honor,
when we can't do the same with men.
although the smallness of student
communities may have seemed to war
rant the hope that a general sentiment
might be aroused which would do
away with the necessity of proctors.
But we can't do without police in our
cities-the honor system won't work
there. and perhaps it is too much to
expect that 1t will work in our col
leges.-The Great Round World.

HURRY THE VOTING MACHINE
ALONG

The Boston Post is one Of the most
aggressive papers editorially in Boston.
1t claims to be the representative Dem
ocratic paper of New England On pub
lie questions the Post shows a tendency
to be fair and sensible.
It calls attention to the need of vot-
ing machines in Boston. At two o'clock
Wednesday morning full returns We're
received from only eight of the
twenty-five wards. Ten hours of count
ing, tabulating and adding of figures
had finished less than one-third of the
record. At four o'clock in the morn
ing the returns from twenty-eight
precincts were still lacking. Wednes-
day afternoon, twenty-four hours after
the election was all over, the evening
papers were able to make only an ap-
proximately correct statement of the
entire vote. The Post says
Undoubtedly the election on Tuesday
presented exceptional difficulties. The
total vote was very large. The candi-
dates on the school committee ticket
were numerous. But these considera-
extraordinary delay. By counting more
slowly, perhaps the precinct officers
counted more accurately; we can not
tell about this. But why should We
not make use of a method which
counts accurately and instantaneously?
With voting machines in use in Boston,
the actual and definite and detailed re-
suit of Tuesdays election would have
been in possession of every man when
he went home from business that day.
In way the same thing is true of
worcester. While the complete tabu-
lated returns of all the precincts VIZ
ready at midnight, there was an I'M
necessary delay of at least six hours
owing to the present antiquated sys-
TEN.
1t is always a puzzle in elections to
understand why some precinct officers
can count their vote in two hours,
while others require ten. But such is
always the fact and the percentage Of
error is always large. Had the plural
ity for mayor been much smaller than
It was, there would undoubtedly have
been a recount called for this year as
last year, when Mayor O'Connell won
by what appeared TO be a safe MAORI
ty at the Dr.. election. though
the recount showed finally a tie.
Had the voting machines been
used last year, the result would have
been known within half an hour after
the close of the polls. And there would
have been 40 tie robably-certainly
no doubtful votes to dispute about.
