New York, July 16-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of to 20 points
under much higher Liverpool cables than
expected, great frmness in the English
spot market and a fresh show of bull sup
port in the nearby positions. Right after
the opening there was a break of to
points on the new crop positions chiefly
on account of selling, based on the con-
tinued favorable weather. New Orleans
market showed remarkable strength and
the local market turned firmer. 1t did not
rule particularly active, taking the day as
a whole, but there were sudden spurts as
shorts came in to cover and with New
Orleans buying moderately, prices were
forced quite steadily upward until August
selling at 1910 showed an advance OF 20
points over the close of the preceding day.
September at the same time showed a gam
of 81 points. And July sold no higher
than 1926, an advance of 40 points. At
the best level of the session ale new crop
positions were from to Is points net
higher Just before the close however,
the market turned easier under liquidation
and a renewal of Wall Street selling,
which brought about decline from the
best of from 10 to Is points and the mark
ct was finally barely steady net 16 to 80
points higher on the near months, while
the later positions were net unchanged to
2 points lower. A factor in the advance
was the heavy exports which amounted to
over 10000 bales. while the port receipts
dropped down to almost nothing. only 1G
bales being reported. Sales estimated

CITY OWES Water
BOARD S748,9OO
Bill Is Chiefly for Water
Furnished for Fire
Protection.

st. Paul has a record of being fair
ly prompt in the payment of its Obli-
cations, but there is one debt that is
piling up, and the annual statement Of
the water department, just issued in
printed form, takes two pages in pub
fishing the fact to the world. 1t is for
water furnished for fire protection
purposes since 1892.
The total amount which the board
of water commissioners says is owing
it from the city is $748,916.55. and the
figure is increasing yearly. Last year
nearly $37, 600 was added to the
amount, and this year will see an ad-
dition of like sum. The board of
education is in debt to the department
to the extent Of $1,173.39.
The city's entire debt is further in
creased by retained frontage taxes
and changes in mains to the extent Of
nearly $4,000. The board is not press
ing the claims, but it is carefully car
rying them over from year to year,
and hopes at no distant date to COM
pei the city to disgOrge.
Last year the department added S79
new customers to it's list, and is now
serving 1872 patrons with heaIthful
water. When the water system was
first installed the number of patrons
was thirty-four. The number of me-
terS in use at the present time is 6,449.
The department did an excellent bus
mess last year. and points with pride
to the fact that the number of appIi-
cations for water was the largest since
1892. When the city purchased the
plant there We're about 1000 patrons.

SHOWS HIS BACK TO
JURY IN COURTROOM
Plaintiff, Claiming He Was Burned
With X-Ray Machine, Is Exhibit.

The $22,5OO personal injury damage
suit brought by William Henslin
against Drs. Wheaton, Rogers &, Den
mis-, was commenced before Judge Orr
and a jury yesterday. The plaintiff
was on the stand all afternoon.
Dennis swallowed a gold crown and
went to the defendants for treatment
He alleges that he was subjected to an
X-ray treatment, which burned his
body and injured him permanently, and
for this reason he brought suit, claim
ing the doctors had not employed the
best methods in treating him.
That the jury might be able to de-
termine to what extent he was injured,
Henslin was partially stripped in court
and the jurors examined the marks on
his back said to have been caused by
the X-ray treatment. The trial of the
case will be resumed Monday.

STRIKE IN ROSEN
TANNERY ENDED
Trouble on Account of Dis
charge Of Assistant Fore
man SmOOthed Over.

The dismissal of an assistant fore
man at the Rosen Fur tannery on the
West side and the further discharge of
a committee, who asked for his rein
statement, caused a WallI-Out of the
fifty or more employees Thursday, but
now all is serene.
Yesterday a delegation from the
Trades and Labor assembly met with
A. T. RCsen, the proprietor, and the
result of the conference was the return
of the men the same day. The trouble,
according to the men, originated in the
early part of the week when the fore
man, favortte with Mr.. Rosen quit
and took employment with u rival fur
tannery in Minneapolis.
The tanning of furs is a secret, only
in possession of a few, and the men
assert that Mr.. Rosen believed he was
being taken advantage of. by the Min
neapOlis firm. He then discharged the
assistant foreman, brother to the
foreman who quit and when a commit
tee asked for his reinstatement, dis
charged the members of it also.
There was no, grievance over wages
or hours.
Mr.. Rosen refused to talk of the
trouble yesterday, beyond saying that
any difficulty that existed between
himself and the men had been settled
to the satisfaction of all concerned.

MOVES TO QUASH THE
KEEFE INDICTMENT
Attorney Says Names of All the Wit
nesses Were Not Endorsed on 1t.

The legality of the indictment re-
turned by the January grand jury
against William L. Keefe, in which the
broker was charged with attempted
jury br1bing, was attacked in the GRIM
mai court yesterday by Samuel A. An
derson, attorney for Mr. Keefe, who
asked the court to quash the indict-
ment on the ground that the minutes
OF the grand jury showed that fifteen
witnesses had been called before that
pody to testify in the Keefe case, and
that the names of only ten of this
number had been entered on the back
OF the indictment. Mr.. Keefe was al
lowed to withdraw his former plea of
not guilty and the motion to qUash will
be heard Saturday, April f.
The law requires that all witnesses
called before the grand jury in a case
be Endorsed on the Indictment, but it is
contended that this rule was violated
in the Keefe case to such an extent
that the Indictment is invalidated. It
IS further contended by Mr. Keefe that
one of the witnesses, A. H. Bright, at
torney for the 500 road, was and is his
open, avoWed and deadly enemy.
Attorney Anderson stated that he
had only recently been able to secure
the minutes of the grand jury, and be-
Tore he had done so was not aware
that the names of some of the wit
nesses had been omitted from the in
