FORGOT PRIESTHOOD
VOWS FOR LOVE
Damage Suit for Woman
Who Loved Him.

NEW YORK, Dec 1T SpeciaD -
Legal annals hold no stranger story
than that disclosed in a suit for $780,
600 brought by Frank Drugan, dis
graced and dismissed Jesuit novitiate,
against his beautiful cousin, Mrs.
Emily f. Dunphy, daughter of Thorn
as H. Barrett, who was removed from
his position as steamboat inspector
after the loss of the Slocum.
Drugan charges that Mrs. Dunphy
pursued him for years-indeed, from
his childhood-until he forgot his
vows to the Church and thought only
of her.
Then as climax to the mental an
guish resultant from his infatuation
for his cousin, he says, she refused to
have anything more TO do with him,
after he had been cast out by the
Jesuits and disowned by his family
Mrs. Dunphy's reply is that her
cousin is insane, and that his accus-
ations are but the rawlings of a dis
ordered brain. Mr.. Barrett declares
Drugan is a ''loafer" and a ''vaga-
bond" and threatens to kick him
from the door should he ever attempt
to enter the home of himself and
daughter in Yonkers.
Mrs. Dunphy, he declares always
had been opposed to him taking holy
orders. She besought him SO contin-
ually, he asserts, to give up his life
aim, summoned him by messages so
often to her side and in other ways
showed her affection for him, that he
was forced, he says, to give orders
that she should not be admitted to st.
Xavier's College, Even then, he de-
clares, she did not leave off pursuing
him, but arranged to take the same
car as he did on his way from Column
bia University, where he was lee
turer.

Last year

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Liverpool
came about as due and in consequence
our market opened practically un-
changed, but it was evident at the
opening that the market was weak
and in consequence the old low level
was reached At 1858 for January
renewed buying was in evidence, that
option rallying, and selling as high
as 1870 The bears were not asleep
and took advantage of the very heavy
receipts and prices were again forced
to the >low point. Advices from
Fall River are to the effect that the
spinners are now entering the mar
ket and are eager for spots, same be-
ing the case with Manchester. The
weakness Of stocks also greatly aid
ed the bears and until this clears
it will he a hard matter to sustain
present values. However we be-
lieve that purchases on scale down
will prove the most profitable. The
scalping operations will likely con-
tinue until after the holidays.

ARMY OF N. Y. WOMEN
SUPPORT HUSBANDS
This Includes All Wage
Earning Wives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-(SpeciaD -
Are there $1,000 women in the city
of New York supporting their hus-
bands?
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, suffragist
leader and head of various humani-
tartan and educational movements in
the city, declares there are. Further
more, she says that il one takes into
consideration the number of wealthy
women who have paid for foreign
titles, the estimate is exceedingly
low.
"In making the statement that so
many thousands of women today sup
port their husbands" said Mrs. Ma
than, Il am neither deploring the fact
nor am | saying it is a particularly
desirable condition, 1t is simply
fact not to be ignored nor evaded. ]
advance it as one of the most potent
reasons why woman should have
equal rights with man."
in what special class do you
find the largest number of such wo-
menu" ] asked.
They are not confined to any class
or classes" she replied. In every
grade of society we see women sup
porting their husbands. The wealthy
woman who marries a titled foreigner
pays for that title. Consequently, she
most certainly may be said to sup
port her husband.
THE professional woman--writer,
singer or artist-who earns more
than her husband supports him.
The poor, hardworking woman of the
laboring classes who goes out scrub
bling or washing by the day because
her husband spends more than he
earns on drinking or gambling is
the real support of that family. In
deed, any wife whose husband spends
more than he earns may be said to
be supporting that husband"
Does it not cripple a man if
woman assists him by herself being
wage-earner?"
Not necessarily. In some cases
/ think it is mutually satisfactory that
both should work for wages. II
young woman loves a man, and in
order to marry him and have a suf-
fcient income for both, she must
put her shoulder to the wheel, / do
not see why she should not do it."

NET LOSSES FOR
COTTON VALUES
Lower Grades Constituted
Bulk Local Offerings.

Cotton contracts struggled faith
fully against odds yesterday, but in
the end net losses of to 10 points
were recorded. During the morning
and for part of the afternoon prices
fuctuated narrowly, at times the
market being above the figures at
the close for the day before. Late
in the session the efforts to hold
steady seemed to be abandoned and
prices reached practically the lowest
for the day at the last.
The opening was at losses from the
day before, except that January at
New York came 1 point up. Liverpool
met expectations. The American
markets after opening eased off
few points, but rallied and reacted
alternately The heavy receipts at
ports was a bearish argument and
the general apathy of the bulls LETT
the market unprotected. A quicken
ing of the demand from mills was re-
ported, but the tendency seemed to be
TO await the. issuance of the Govern
ment's ginning report on Friday
before any special aggressiveness
should be manifested either way
New York opened to points
down, except that January was
point up. Prices sustained small
changes each way, with the close on
the most decided downward dip of
the day, leaving the final steady to
points net lower for the session.
Spot prices were not changed. New
Orleans opened to points down
and after gaining several points sub
sided into weakness at the last, the
close being steady to 10 points be-
low the close for Monday. Spot
quotations were reduced Lac. Liver
pool was due to points lower
and opened to 10 points off. the
current position showing the largest
loss. The close was steady, to o
points below the final for the day
before. Spot prices were reduced ~
points, sales being $4,000 bales. The
English market is due to 8 points
lower this morning.
More activity prevailed in the local
spot market than for several days
past, the sales for the day being pro.
bably over 200 bales. The bulk OF
the sales were of the off grades, which
sold generally on basis of IL cents
for good middling. The better grades
were tightly held The receipts for
the day were IT'S bales. Quotations
were reduced is of cent from

Talked Over in Committee

The subcommittee held a four

chairman, Representative Fowler, at
which the bill that the subcommittee
has undertaken to draft was earnestly
discussed but no decision as to its
precise character and scope was
reached 1t is not likely the sub

the main committee Will spend CON
siderable time examining the bill, per-

in the world of finance will be given
an opportunity to appear before the
committee to present their views on
the proposed measure.
Careful Consideration
Much time will be spent in both
House and Senate in considering the
bill when reported, and it is the
hope of the members of the Banking
Committee that the finances of the
country will so have adjusted them
selves by that time that there will
be no necessity for legislation look
ing to the correction of present CON

A member of the committee said:
"The Congress, realizing the SER
iousness of the step proposed, does
not mean to rush any financial meas
ure on to the statute books. The pre-
sent disturbed condition must remedy
itself, and may be expected to do so
within reasonable time; it is for
Congress to legislate away the like
