COTTON FUTURES
SOAR SKYWARD
New High Prices for May and July Options We're
Recorded at II .63 and 1920 Respectively

New York. April 1S.-New high
prices for May and July cotton were
recorded on the local exchange to-day.
Other options advanced from l TO 3
points.
The early strength was due to ac-
tive bull support, no less than to short
covering. In the second hour there
came another sharp rise. in which
May advanced to 10.52c and July to.
l0.12c. No specific news accompanied
the new movement. and the advance
seemed to result largely from further
short covering.
During the. early part of the ses-
sion sentiment was really bearish,
chiefly because of the weather and

THINKS HE HAS FOUND
PERPETUAL MOTION.
South Carolina Man Secures

south Carolina Man secures N
Patent on n Machine.
Columbia, S. c., April 1S.-Since the
beginning of time men have peen
wrestling with the problem of per-
petual motion. Many a brilliant mind
has given way under the strain of
continual effort to find the solution.
To-day the lunatic asylums contain
men whose minds have been wrecked
in the effort TO find some way to make
a wheel turn eYerlastingly of its own
volition. Years ago the United States
patent offices became so cOngested
with applications for patents of inn
practicable machines that Congress
passed an act prohibiting the patent
ing of perpetual motion machines I'M
less they could be shown to be of prac-
teal use in developing power.
notwithstanding all this there is
an architect in the city of Sumter in
this state-Mr. ID. G. Zeigler, who
claims TO have solved the problem. MIR
Ze.gler has been working quietly on
his machine for a long time, resolved
TO say nothing of it until the proper
time. He has just secured a patent on
it from the United States patent office,
the first that has been allowed in for
ty years on a perpetual motion ma
chine. And on Saturday he was no
titled by his attorney in Washington
that all patents had been secured in
foreign countries also.
The United States patent Office in
proceeding to give a detailed mechan-
ical description of the machine, which
is hardly ineligible to any but eX-
pert mechanics, says:
This invention utilities the grav-
itative force of a travelling weight ar
ranged to move in a circle and during
each revolution to pass towards and
from the center of rotation in a path,
to bring the preponderance of weight
on the descending side of the rotative
support, carrying the same weight
whereby power is generated to per-
form effective work.

WILL REVEAL SECRETS
OF MORMON FAITH

NEW YORK, Feb. I'm the trial
today of Hooper Young. charged with
the murder of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer,
nine witnesses were examined They
testified to Young's presence in vari-
Gus places the night Mrs. Pulitzer
was murdered. The defense Is cross
examining but little.
1t is plainly show that Young's
counsel will attempt to show mental
responsibility on the night that the
crime was committed.
Miss Elizabeth Dickson, the pretty
young woman who two years aso
joined the Mormon church and then
deserted the faith, will give seusa-
tional testimony on the witness
stand, when she will reveal the Sc
crets of Mormonism.
In speaking OF the case, Miss Dick
inson is positive she has seen on
several occasions both Young and the
murdered woman at the Mormon teM-
pie in Twenty-third street. where the
murder was afterward committed,
zone never appreciates the full
strength of the Mormon following
until they try to leave after having
accepted its tenets." said Miss Dick
inson. Il have been visited recently
by Mrs. Blair n convert to the Nor
mon faith. who has tried to convince
me that did not know Hooper Young
or MIS-. Nelson Pulitzer.
Mrs. Blair said that 1t was impos-
sible that l ever could have known
either. She asked me- why l insisted
upon saying that J Gid know them,
why | had told Assistant District At
tornsy Clark that i knew them at
Mormon meetings. I replied that 1
intended to tell the authorities all l
knew OF the matter.
The Mormons of the city deny now
that Hooper Young is II Mormon;
that he ever attended the meeting
where l actually saw him. or that
Mrs. Pulitzer was ever at any Of the
prayer meetings.
In answer to that, I would say
that l have seen Mrs. Pulitzer and
Young at the Tuesday evening meet.
