SuIIy is BuIlinu Cotton.

A New York special to the
New Orleans Picayune says.
Daniel j. Sully. the deposed
king of the cotton pit, has come
into his own again. Upon the
announcement on Monday that
he had been discharged from
bankruptcy cotton began to soar.
yesterday every bale of cotton in
the United States increased in
value at least one dollar. and to-
day the advance continued. May
cotton closed last night at 7S5c.
it opened this morning at 7.84c
and in less than an hour it had
advanced to 7.94c. The highest
point reached during the morn
ing for May cotton was 7.97c.
A determined effort Of the bears
at this point had the effect of
lowering the quotations several
points. and from then on a slight
decline set in until 7.6Sc was
reached soon before one o'clock
This was an advance of 4 points
over the opening and 3 over the
close last night. Mr.. Sully said
at his Office when approached:
It is my firm conviction that
cotton will continue to rise. The
slight fall this morning from 7.97
to 7.88 was, in my opinion. due
merely to taking. I am a
firm believer in higher cotton,
and I predict that it will continue
to rise"
He would say nothing about
the rumors that he is backed by
a syndicate in which James H.
Hoadley is the principal charact-
or.
The pit at the Cotton Exchange
presented a scene that rivaled in
excitement those days last year
when Sully was forcing cotton
to prices higher than prevailed
since the Civil War. Orders
poured in from every quarter.
Advices from England were most
invariably bullish. There was a
frantic effort by the shorts to
cover their holdings. Led by
Theodore II. Price. the bear gen
eral and archenemy Of Sully,
there was a stampede of the
shorts to cover. This was a con-
tinuation Of the tactics adopted
by Price yesterday when he
tried to cover on 10000 bales and
forced up the price in doing 50.
Rumor has it that Theodore
Price is loo. 900 bales short. and
he IS forced to fight desperately
for his life. The bear leader
does not deny that he is short,
and that last night he sent tele-
grams broadcast stating that he
had succeeded in covering por-
ton Of his shorts. Although

Chicago's subway is now completed
and handling 1000 tons of freight a
day. 1t carries no passengers, but
runs under the streets, tapping the
great stores and connecting with the
freight depots and yards of every
steam road, relieving the streets Of an
enormous traffic and incidentally maxi
ing future teamsters' strikes of small
err consequence. This subway was in
one sense a Job" 1t owes it's exist
ence to a harmless looking ordinance
to lay electric wires. This was given
to the company-a free gift; where
upon the trench to lay the wires was
made large enough to allow men to
work in and while it was being done
it was made a little larger-in some
places ten and fifteen feet in diameter.
Rights were assured that are worth
millions of dollars to the owners. The
people of Chicago own these rights,
and were simply robbed, legally per-
haps.

JUDGE BRENTS VS.. ATKINSON

Either Judge Brents or Attorney
General Atkinson has displayed pro-
found ignorance of the election laws
of this state. AS Atkinson prior to his
election as attorney general never
had a case in court in his life, while
Judge Brents has long been conceded
to be one Of the best lawyers on the
Pacific coast, it is fair to conclude
that Judge Brents is right and Atkin
son wrong On the right Of the peni
tertiary employees to vote. Judge
Brents said in dismissing the case
against the men on a technicality:
Il haven't any doubt that these men
could not obtain a residence here by
the methods they have initiated. Ev-
cry one of these men signed what he
knew was false. They knew they
could not gain any residence. here
while serving the government in a
public capacity. I am surprised that
men occupying the positions that they
occupy should attempt such fraud
upon the election laws of this city and
this state. 1 am amazed at it."
The constitution of this state plain
ly says that no man shall gain or lose
a residence by reason Of public en-
ployment If that means anything it
means that the residence of such
when appointed and that they must
return there to vote. 1t is only in
trying to evade this common sense
Interpretation of the constitution that
any confusion arises.
There is no proof that Judge Brents
has revised his view of the law since
reading the opinion of Johnny At
kinson, briefless lawyer, and it is
only because of the judges factional
loyalty that he mas begged the gov
ernor to reconsider his order for the
dismissal of guards who signed what
they knew was false" ana attempted
a fraud upon the election laws of this
city and state.''
But even Atkinson says the men
must have acquired a new residence
in good faith" The fact that fourteen
men chose as their happy home two
IGX12 rooms in a lodging house in
Lewis precinct, where the only impor-
tant contest in the city election was
to occur, does not bear the earmarks
of good faith.

Successful Architect.


Successful Architect.
Miss Fay Kellogg Of Brooklyn Is an
energetic American girl who has
pushed her way to the front in the field
Of architecture. When Miss Kellogg
started out on the career In which she
has been SO surprisingly successful she
had to call into service all the vigor
and dauntlessness that she possessed,
for she had a hard road to travel be-
fore she reached her goal, and she
found that it was not that other wo-
men who had tried 1t before herself
had not had her talent but that they
had not the courage to overcome the
Obstacles which had been placed In the
way.
She studied drawing in the Corcoran

years and then in the Pratt institute
prepared herself for work in New York
architectural Offices. Here she found

Prevent Mating Damage,

Everybody knows how the casters of
the bedstead, dressing bureau and
other pieces of heavy furniture indent
and finally wear out the mating I'M
der them. A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman recommends max
ing pads of heavy leather covered with
calico or cretonne to place under the
casters and prevent this damage. In
buying mating, allow fully six inches
to turn under on each breadth. The
ends should be hemmed like a carpet;
then they do not ravel out. 1t is a
mistake to think mating needs no lin
ing. 1t wears much longer and treads
better If the floor Is spread with news
papers and these overlaid with a good
carpet lining.

Hanging Up Your Gowns.

waist the same way. The bar will hold

many. He says the irritation toward
us in Germany, which is undoubtedly
real. is based not So much on our
high tariff as on the varying con-
structions put upon the Dingley law
and the consequent impossibility of
German manufacturers knowing just
plants he believes there is a fair
measure of reason and that the adj
ministration at Washington knows it.
BY removing some of the annoying
methods of interpreting our tariff law
and by making our appraisements ON a
fairer and more steady basis he be-
lieves the Germans could be quieted
Meanwhile the Germans have been
for some time putting themselves in a
position to carry on a tariff war with
America, should it become necessary.
Two years ago Germany adopted a
new tariff law, partly to facilitate the
renewal of lapsing reciprocity treaties,
but also to put the empire on better
footing as regards this country if a
tariff war could not be avoided or
If a reciprocity treaty with this coun-
try could not be negotiated. This new
tariff law increases considerably du-
ties on foodstuffs, cereals and raw
stuffs Of every kind, which constitute
Is per cent of German imports from
America. The enforcement of these
duties would, the Germans believe, in
jure American trade with the-s empire
$40,000,00O to $1OO,O00,O00 annually. 1t
is true that they could not be enforced
against this country without first
abrogating the treaty of 1923, which
gives America the benefit of the most
favored nation clause, but that treaty
could be easily disposed of by Ger
many before the new tariff goes into
effect.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Won Schierbrand
does not consider Germany in a good
position to make a trade war on Amer
lea for the reason that her imports
from this country are mainly the nee
essaries of life or of trade, such as
cereals, meats, hams, canned and pre-
served foodstuffs, which she cannot
get elsewhere as good or as cheap, or
raw stuffs for her industries, which
she can hardly get anywhere else. On
the other hand. our imports from Ger
many are, with few exceptions, not
indispensable articles at all.
The difference between country
which shuts out the necessaries Of
life in tariff war and one which
merely excludes some luxuries, is ap-
parent, and the advantage is still on
the side of this country.
