COTTON MARKET
Widest Scenes of Week Are
Witnessed at the Opening of
the New Orleans Exchange
TRADERS BECOME CRAZED
Prices Are Forced Down Ten
and Twenty Points at a Time
Owing to Numerous Offerings

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-TO-day
saw the widest scenes of this week in
the cotton market. At the lowest levels
of the day prices were from 152 to $50
points lower than what cotton was
selling for at the first of the week. The
market was thrown into a panic soon
after the opening by the immense
amount Of cotton that was offered for
sale. Where the offerings came from
was a mystery, but thousands of bales
were thrown upon the market, forcing
prices down 10 and 90 points at time.
Such wild scenes were never before
witnessed. Thousands Of people lined
Gravier street watching the traders
scrambling in their eagerness to get
near the center Of the ring and offer
their cotton. There appeared to be ten
sellers to one buyer.
At the height of the turmoil. when
it looked as if the market must go to
pieces. the bull leader, w. P. Brown,
pleaded with the brokers to stop Of
fering their cotton Is and 20 points un-
der the market.
You will break the market and your
selves if you continue" he said Iake
the cotton yourselves and make
profit on it,"
Browns stand against the selling inn
mediateIy had it's effect and II was
clearly evident to every one that the
rules of the exchange were being
broken by the way many brokers were
Offering cotton. The bull leader followed
his speech by heavy bidding and buy
ing and in a few minutes other longs
followed his lead and in short time,
in place of the panic, quiet reigned and
prices showed a material recovery, al
though the market had weak tone
up to the close.

Professor Phelps used to tell with
glee of the way he achieved a reputa-
ton for knowing a thing he hated. He
took a walk with Professor Newton,
who lived in the world of mathematics,
and started off at once to discuss an
abstruse problem. Mr.. Phelps mind
could not follow and wandered to other
things. At last he was called back
when the professor wound up with

asked Mr.. Phelps politely. Why,
doesn't it?" exclaimed the professor,
excitedly, alarmed at the possibility of
a flaw in his calculations. Quickly his
mind ran back and detected mistake.
You are right, Mr.. Phelps. You are
right" shouted the professor. 1T

from that time Professor Phelps was

Curious Case in French Court.

principal character placed on the mar
ket "a brictonine" He was not aware
at the time that a liquor of that name
actually existed, but it's manufactures
promptly brought an action for dam
ages The Civil Tribunal of the Seine
gave its decision against the novelist.
While it exonerated NJ. Ohnet from ma
licious intent, it held that ignorance
was no excuse, and that it was the
duty of writers to satisfy themselves
that products to which they intended
to refer did not exist. In this case,
added the court, M. Ohnet could easily
have consulted the register of trade
marks. Consequently the court ordered
the passages objected to to be erased
from the book under a penalty of 10
francs a copy, while the plaintiff was
awarded 500 francs damages, and the
right to have the judgment inserted in
two newspapers.-New York Tribune.

WHITE PAGERS
TO Be HUNTED
Ranchmen of Southern Utah
Will Make Concerted Attempt
to Capture Famed Horses
Special Dispatch to The can.

SALT LAKE, Feb. 7.-Strangest of
all equine bands, the white PAGERS"
of the southern range, are doomed to
captivity or determination. The ranch
men of Southern Utah, Western Me-
vada and a small strip of Arizona have
passed sentence on this remarkable
aggregation of wild horses that for
seven years excited the greatest inter
est, but which has so far Knocked ev-
cry effort at capture.
few weeks ago the stockmen. of
the border country engaged in a wild
horse hunt.a raid of determination on
the wild mustangs that have become
pest of the range. Many of the animals
were killed, but the white PAGERS"
escaped the general slaughter for two
very good reasons-the hunters did not
come across this particular band, and,
even if the opportunity had presented
itself, no attempt to kill them would
have been made. The ranchmen have
for years cherished the hope of some
day capturing some of the beautiful
animals, and for this reason none have
ever been shot. Individual attempts to
take them, however, have always sig
nally failed, and now an organized and
determined effort is to be made Plans
have been carefully made with a full
knowledge of the habits of the quarry
and the nature of the country, and it
is hoped that a dozen or more of the
coveted eQuines will be taken. If it is
necessary a number of the horses will

decision Of the ranchmen is to capture
or exterminate the entire band.
Unlike the ordinary scrub mus

an abominatiOn to the ranchers, the
much desired white beauties are Of
magnificent build and swift as the
famed steeds of the Arabian desert
They are all of the same hue-white-
and have long names and tails of the
same color. IN speed they easily out
strip the ranch horses. A strange fea-
ture is that they are all PAGERS. Very
seldom have they been known to break
into a run, and then only for a short
distance. soon relapsing into the long,
swift stride that appears to be their
natural gait. The ranchmen believe
that some Of these animals can be
trained to become great racehorses
There are supposed to be about 100 in
this band.
A great stallion. of magnificent pro-
portions, is the leader of this equine
family-for family it certainly is
and he is described as an animal of
remarkable beauty. AT the head of
the band this stallion has led his fol-
lowers in wild dashes over the hills
when pursued by the ranchers, and the
pace was so rapid that the hunters
were soon compelled to desist. Just
now these horses are reported to be
ranging along the Colorado River. In
the summer they come up into Utah.
1t is now planned to effect their cap
ture. or at least the capture of some
of the band, by having a number Of
parties act in concert and drive the
horses into trap-probably into some

confined, the beasts sped through a

the alley.
Three of the wolves ran east in

WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN the pos
tai trial to-day Mrs. Martha j. Lorenz
of Toledo, Ohio, denied all knowledge
of any transaction in connection with
the sale of Croft letter box fasteners.
The four checks which she at different
times gave her husband, who indorsed
them over to Machen, she said, she
signed solely because her husband re-
quested her to do so and without in
quiring into their purpose. She had abb
solute faith in him, she said. Mrs. Lo-
REM was perfectly cool on the stand
and promptly answered the questions
put to her by her counsel.
During almost the entire day George
E. Lorenz was under ross-examina-
ton. He denied that he ever sought
Machen's influence to further the in
PRODUCTION of the Croft fasteners to the
postal service.
Just before the afternoon session
Justice Pritchard summoned into his
private room the jury and counsel on
both sides. He announced to them that
two jurors had informed him of the
receipt of several letters bearing on
the case, which represented that they
ought to stand by the Government It
is understood that the Government
counsel disavowed any responsibility
for the communications, while counsel
for the defense availed themselves of
the opportunity to say that neither by
word nor act had any attempt been
made by them or their clients to infiu-
ence the jury in any way.
