NEW YORK, March 1S.-The suspension
of Daniel j. Sully & Co., the senior mem
Der of which Is Daniel j. Sully the operator
whose dealings in and manipulation of the
cotton market have been the sensation of
the speculative world for several years, was
announced on the cotton exchange today.
This announcement came at the close of
long decline in the price of future con-
tracts.
Some weeks ago on heavy buying believed
to have been more of manipulative than
of an investment character, the price for
future delivery of the staple was pushed
above the 17-cent mark and predictions
were made by those in charge of the bull
campaign that the 20-cent mark would be
reached and passed.
These predictions, however, were never
realized, and when the bull pool tried to
realize some of its paper profits it found
that the bears had taken the market"
and in one afternoon there was a rapid
drop in prices of more than cent a pound
1t was at this time that Sully gave out
statement that he was going south for
rest and would retireTfrom active market
trading for time. He changed his mind
however, when the trend of prices turned,
and remained in New York, presumably in
OTueT " SteIIl Tic tiuC II lie Ctulu.
Day after day anew low level was
reached, in spite OF the bun buying, and ex-
cept for occasional spasmodic rallies the
drop was not interrupted.
From time to time reports were given out
that Sully had sold out before the break
but these found few believers, and his
buying when he bought, was attributed to
efforts to support prices and not to the in
auguration of new campaign for higher
prices.
His profits on his old deals were known
to be enormous. and presumably all of
these were used to bolster his present deals
After the suspension was announced Suily
locked himself in his office and declined to
give out any statement Wild guesses
were made as to the liabilities, but all
agreed that they must be well up In the
millions.
Following the announcement of the sus-
pension the cotton market declined cents
a pound and then rallied half a cent a.
pound. At 2:30 May was quoted at 1928
July at 18.40 and October at 1910.

tions yesterday Commissioner Mcfarland

ness portion of Washington. Mr.. Macfar-
land stated that an appropriation of $780,

600 will be required for the ensuing fiscal
year, and the remainder during the year

may be contracted for Immediately after
the 1st of next July.
1t Is estimated that the high-pressure
service can be completed in the business
section of the city within eighteen months
after the work begins. In the event that
the present Congress authorizes the estab-
fishing of the service, it can therefore De
completed and in use by the first OF 1906
The original plans for the high-pressure
service in Washington were worked Out ana
prepared by Mr.. w. A. Mcfarland, superin-
tendent of the District water department.
The plan provides for the location OF 5oo
hydrants with 4-inch outlets at uistahoeS oeS
of not less than 200 feet nor more than 2oo
feet apart throughout the commercial sec
ton of the city. The area which 1t is now
proposed to protect with the h1gh-pressuie
service is that portion OF tHe CITY uol"oIA
Pennsylvania avenue and l street ana 4th
and 18th streets northwest Within TINS
area, it is stated. are located nearly all the
government buildings, the hotels, theaters
and business blocks. The Agricultural De-
partment buildings, the Smithsonian lhsu-
tuition, the bureau of engraving ana the
buildings south of the mall are not included
within the present area of the system
The Reno Reservoir.
The water for the high pressure service
will be supplied from the Reno reservoir,
near Tenleytown. which has a capacity
of 45OOO0O gallons. The water will be
drawn from the reservoirs by means OF
36-inch water mains down Wisconsin ave-

l street, thence east on l street to 14th
street. From 14th street the mains Will pc
reduced to 80 inches, and will be laid east
on l street to 10th and New York avenue,
thence to 9Th street northwest. The mains
will then be laid north on 9Th street to con-
meet with the Trumbull street pumping
station.
The Reno reservoir is situated at an ele-
walton of 420 feet above tide, which will
give a pressure of about 400 feet on Penn
sylvania avenue. 1t is proposed to keep the
:j6-inch mains full of water at all times.
From the 36-inch mains 20-inch mains
will be laid north and south on 11th 18th
11th and 9th streets, and from these mains
16-inch mains or feeders will be laid on all
the streets running east and west. The 16-
inch mains will be connected with S-incn
branch pipes leading to the hydrants.
The system, it is pointed out, is capable
of extersion in all directions in case ex-
tension is desired

go through we would have to qualify such
statement by a clause to the effect that
these great American principles hold good

Effect of Disfranchisement in

MR.. WACHTER'S VIEWS
POE AMENDMENT WOULD BLOCK
THE STATES PROGRESS.
Says the Democrats Are Like a Lot of
Children Playing With Fire
Sentiment of the People.

Representative Frank Charles Wachter
of the third Maryland district which In
cludes a large part of the city of Baltimore,
in an interview with representative OF
The Star today, bitterly denounced the
proposed Poe constitutional amendment
pending in the Maryland legislature as a
measure designed not only to disfranchise
a large number of legal voters, but calcu-
lated to stifie the ambitions of young men
just entering or about to enter the field of
politics.
Children Playing With Fire.
"The democrats in the Maryland legisla-
ture are like lot of children playing with
fire." declared Mr.. Wachter, "and if they
do not see the error of their way in time
they will live to rue the day. 1t is an ex-
tremely dangerous principle to give a
party too much power. The day for par
tisan control of elections is past, and the
Poe amendment is an attempt to block the
progress of the state and retrograde to the
conditions of twenty or thirty years ago.
1t is a bold attempt, and l do not believe
that Gov. Warfield will stand for it. If
he vetoes the amendment he will find all
the respectable people of the state applaud
ing his action
Power of Election Judges.
L ne roe amendment, II passed ana Tdtl-
fed by the people, would result in the ap-
pointment of three judges at every voting
place. two of whom would be affiliated with
the party in power. These judges would
have the right to disqualify any voter they
night deem fit or as a whim or the neces-
sites of the situation might suggest.
MY views on this matter are those of
my party" declared Mr.. Wachter. THE
republican party in Maryland has always
stood for honest elections. and consequently
it condemns any such bold scheme of party
domination of the ballot as that proposed
at Annapolis 1t is well-known fact that
the best election law the state has ever
had was enacted during the Lowndes ad-
ministration. There were some in our party
who claimed We did not go far enough in
that law and that it was not as stringent
and favorable to the party as it might have
been.
