New York, March THE Cotton King

back to crown and throne Theodore H.
Price. who less than three years ago was
deposed with a crash that rang around the
world.
Cotton is king again, however, and Price
IL king Of cotton. With 10000 bales to his
credit he said his holdings short time ago
at a profit estimated at cents a pound,
clear profit on the transaction of s5,00o,00o.
In May, 1900, Theodore H. Price began
his financial career from a new beginning
with a few paltry hundred dollar bills in
his pockets, and wife. Therein lies a

FOR A NAVAL RESERVE.
Tentative Plans Formulated by the
General Board

General Board.
Tentative plans have been formulated by
the general board of the navy looking to
legislation to provide for the enrolment
and organization of a United States naval
reserve.
1t is propesd. in the plan suggested by
Commander Barnette. that enrolment in
the naval reserve shall be for a period of
five years. The total number of the re-
serve. including all grades and ratings.
shall not exceed 10000 men, and of this
number about Goo shall be officers. The
officers are divided into three classes-lieu-
tenants. not to exceed 800: nentenants, tu
nior grade. not to exceed 80, and ensiens.
not to exceed 100.
1t Is the intention that the naval re-
serve shall be used in time of war for what
is termed the Inner line of naval defense"
1t will act in conjunction with the life saw
Ing service and the revenue cutter service
The primary idea of the plan is that those
who are enrolled in the naval reserve shall
be regarded as in the service of the United
States, and the President will be given the
power in his discretion, to call into active
service any or all of them in case of war
or when war is imminent.

Experimental Craft Launched.

For several months past a queer-looking
craft has been in process of construction
in Ritter's boat house at the foot Of 9th
street. Her builder and designer says she
will develop a remarkably high speed and
will revolutionize water travel The little
craft is equipped with two gasoline ex-
plosive engines, which will drive twin pro-
peller wheels. the peculiar shape of which
is to give the boat exceptionally high
speed. These wheels have three blades.
but instead of having the wide fare and
twist of the ordinary wheel they are nearly
fiat, built like screw the designer says.
The new craft has for several weeks been
lying on the platform outside the boat
house while her builders have erected
cabin and pilot house and put the finishing
touches on her. Thursday morning she
was put overheard. 1t is understood she
will have trial trip very shortly and this
trial is awaited with interest by steam
boat and river men, who would like to see
the claims of the designer Of the boat veri-

POOL ROOM PEOPLE.
Those Who Were at Wildwood to
Start Near Cabin John.

Major Sylvester is soon to have the Wild
wood pool room people to deal with, as they
have decided to open a place within the
District of Columbia within few days. It
is said that the promoters OF the game are
to present a condition of affairs similar to
that at the Benning race track when the
races are being held, with the exception of
the absence of the horses. The absence of
the animals. 1t is contended by them, will
make no difference SO far as the law is
concerned 1t IS rumOred that the place Is
to be opened on the line of the Cabin John
electric cars and is to be located on the
District line. Part of the building is to be
in Montgomery county and part In the Dis
trict. and the betting is to be done in the
District -.
The men who were interested in the game
at Wildwood made up their minds that
they were not going to quit business in this
section unless they are compelled to do so
by the courts and law officers. They have
been advised that the manner of betting
as conducted at Benning does not constitute
violation of the gambling law 1t is their
belief that the Virginia gamblers had some
thing to do with breaking them up, and
they do not intend to take the medicine
without murmur. Under the proposed ar
rangement the structure is to be on the
District line, in order that in presenting
within the District, the conditions as they
exist at the Benning track they will have
the additional advantage of a blackboard
containing the entries and odds across the
line In Maryland. In this way they will do
nothing in Maryland, but will contine the
betting to the District In all probability
the local police will take a hand in the
matter as soon as bets are made and
the courts will be called upon to settle
the question. 1t was reported this morning
that work on the structure had commenced,
although record of permit in the build
ing Inspectors office could not be found to-
