AuTOMOBILlST SUES THE COP
WHO ARRESTED HIN IN FIFTH

Four Lawyers In One OF the Autos Debri
Gathered In on the Night Of thu
Trask Capture--One OF Them Wantt
81 900 Damages for False Arrest

$1,000 Damages for False Arrest.
Bicycle Policeman Debes. whose chief
delight it is to run down and capture auto
mobilists, did not find the old zest in the
sport when he went on duty last night.
On reporting to the station house he was
met by a process server, who handed him
a CITY Court summons in the case of Parker
against Debes.
Parker was one Of the bunch Of auto
mob!lists that Debes rounded up on Thurs
day night Spencer Trask end Philip
T. Dodge we're two others.
About 10 o'clock Parker was travelling
up Fifth avenue in his automobile, which
is high touring car accommodating Six.
With him were three friends and fellow
graduates Of Princeton They were Richard
NJ. FAIRIES, Robert Inch and A. Parker
Nevin. All four occupants Of the car
are practising lawyers in this city.
Between Thirty.flfth and Thrty-si1th
streets there is a slight grade. and Parker
thinks that because he took this grade
at the same rate Of speed that he had trav-
e.led on the level, passing number Of cabs
that had slow ed down. Policemen Dehes
Jumped to the conclusion that the auto
mobile was exceeding the legal speed
limit.
Anyhow, Debes locked Parker up. When
Parker was released at the station house on
bail furnished by his friend FAIRIES he
said that his arrest was illegal and that to
rove it so he would carry the case to the
highest court If necessary. This threat lie
a moss vered tradition Of the police
station houses and aroused no interest.
Yesterday morning the case was hea I'd

FlLLINGHAM GIVES US A REST.
DECIDES NOT TO GO TO JAIL TO-
DAY FOR Disturbing 4 CHURCH..
Immensely T1cklrd That lie Got Letter
Out OF Bishop Potter-AnnOunces
Tnat He VIII Come Back With Hand
Next Winter and Disturb Our Peace.

Out OF Bishop P0tter-AnnOunces
mat He Will Come Back With Hand
Next Winter and Disturb Our Peace.
The Rcv. R. c. Fllingham isn't going to
give the clergy of the Church Of st. Mary
the Virgin chance to take the advice
of Bishop Potter and have the police throw
him out OF the church to-day for max
ing public protest against the ritualism
in the service.
"Im not going there" he said yesterday,
because I'm expected. | never do things
when I'm expected do them when I'm
not looked for and therefore III not go to
the church Tomorrow
Nor will Mr.. Fillingham make any trouble
in any other American churches to-day be-
cause they do not adhere to the service
of the Church of England He says that
he is going to sail for England on Wednes-
day and in the short time remaining
there isn't time to stir up good agitation.
So he's going to keep quiet for the rest OF
his stay here, but he's going to come back
again, witha band of followers who object
to ritualism as he does. and as soon as he
lands, early in February next, or perhaps
little sooner, there's going to be trouble.
u do not feel that 1 am going TO ex-
tremes when rise up in church and pro
test against the form Of service he said
yeste, dly Il feel that a violation of the
law is going on and that I am doing no
more than a person who tells another that
a pickpocket is at work. l have received
q number of letters agreeing with my stand
and when come back in February m
going to try and make en- fgitat!on in
diferen parts OF the ountry, Ism coming
here with band Of persons who think as
do. and--whe n we are not expect d, mind
you we will take action which will cause
good deal more talk and will be more
extr. mo than anything have yet done.
Mr. Fillingham was asked what Ills plan
was, but said that he couldn't tell yet. He
said howe Yer, that ii would be something
I, a. would shock the Riualists most
horribly
"My plans" he went on, "include Vest
ern tour and the organization of local
committee to aid me in my fight against
the dolatrous rituglsm Of the so-called
High churches. l want to unite all the
Protestant denominations in this fight
against the ritual. l will also preach and
lecture. go
1t is my idea that something startling will
have to be done to force the Bishops to act
against this ritualism. They are, as rule,
rather staid and hard to rouse, so We will
raise such a discussion that the Bishops will
be moved through fear
Mr.. Fiilngham seemed immensely amused
and pleased at the way he had aroused
Bishop Potter by his open letter. He says
that il he goes to church this morning II will
be somewhere where the service conforms
with that OF the Church Of England. He
may go to Coney Island this afternoon.

 New Orleans. August 5.-The course of Liverpool this morning was decidedly en- couraging. with liberal spot sales, as Is usual at advanced quotations. The bull improvement did not hold, however, al though a substantial gain was recorded for the day
 The general public Is so greatly inter ested as to the probable outcome of the bull movement, now nearing It's close even though in the natural course of events they cannot participate, that few words on the subject may not be amiss. It is said that the beginning of August marks a very general shut down of mills, and that few not tied down by contracts will run during the month, The conditions of the cotton goods mar ket offers encouragement to keep spin dies going, and prevent any disorganiz- ation of labor. The entire amount con trolled by the pool would not suffice to keep spindles turning at their full ca- pacity for a full weeks s work, the ques- tion of how successfully they can work off holdings of course means much in the final estimate of the total profits. Mir. Borden Is reported to have bought 15,000 bales of spot cotton to keep his mills go- ing, which have not and it is said will not, stop running; the best posted mill men are not expecting to get new crop cotton under 10 cents, and with the late ness of the coming season, an opportunity will be had to dispose of the greater part of the holdings, and even with the neces- sity of material concessions In order to move stocks rapidly the New Orleans men stand to win out handsomely.
 Buyers of manufactured goods are re- ported as arriving in numbers at trade centers. and a more cheerful tone per- vades that department. Port receipts are very light today, 4s vs. 1913, and indicate that the interior Is practically bare of cotton
 The situation as concerns the new crop is therefore in the hands of the farmer, and it's "up to him" what he gets for 1t, in spite of all the bowling indulged in by the speculative mill owners.
 Sentiment as well as statistics enter largely Into making prices, and unques- tionably many look for a bumper crop. A generally bearish feeling peryades the trade; and while the recent documents published by the government have had tendency to restrict short selling, many private reports indicate continued lm- provement. It would not require very great persuasion TOT renewal or snort selling, which in the absence of support from the country would probably result in lower values. While we firmly believe that the position of cotton on its own merits Is healthy, the immediate outlook Is not favorable to a permanent increase in values. A further failure in Wall street and rumors of more bad news to come is causing considerable uneasiness and is not without depressingseffeet on cotton.
 The weakness in New York that devel- oped just before the close was reported to have been caused by heavy selling for Mir sully's account and was reflected in this market

LOCAL MARKETS.

Yesterday was an9ther dull day in the local markets. Tn cotton and in stocks and bonds there was very little doing.
 Staple groceries are steady and all prices have held firm for several weeks.
 Fruit Is about the only live issue along Morris avenue just now. Lines are bring ing 75c to s1 per hundred; pineapples are quoted at s2.25 to 8 per crate, and ha- nanas are steady at SIPS to sl.5o for straights, Georgia peaches are stlll sell ing fairly well at H.75 to g. 25 per six basket crates, but are overshadowed by the fine California specimens now ar irving The latter variety are bringing $i 25 per 20-ponnd box Bartlett pears are in great demand just now among the fruit faneiers and are finding a ready sale at high prices. Plums are also sell ing well at sl.75 per 25-pound box. For new apples there Is no sale.
 Georgia cantaloupes are selling brislly at 75e to si per crate, and have walked up from a lethargy of several days past.
 Vegetables continue rather dull Cab bage has gone up to S1.5o per crate and green beans are selling for Toe. Irish pc tatoes are now quoted at 65 to 75c per bushel Sweet potatoes are s2 50 per bar rel.

Baxter G Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, August 5.-The market was higher this morning by to 15 points, the latter for August Cables were better and there seemed to be some uneasiness in Liverpool. because the crop was not making better progress. Although there is not much doing of late. the situation is such that 1t would require little to produce a big scare, and active buying. In fact, unless cotton soon turns up 1t is hard to see what is going to prevent active buying by mill men. who, in most cases. are so short of supplies that they will be compelled either to shut down or enter the market, lest by deferring they should be compelled to pay much dearer prices a month hence Every day seems to strengthen the winter months, and the belief is gaining ground that we must either see the crop doing very much bet ter or prices advance sharply.
 Weakness in stocks during the forenoon caused the withdrawal of support in cot ton for the time being Receipts are so light. and there Is so little evidence of good movement before the end of sep- tember. at least. that shorts are likely
