TIM SULLIVAN TO THE RESCUE.
Likely New That Kid McManus Won't BE
ExtradIted by Canada to France.

OTTAWA. March 2l.-Chances are now
against Kid McManus, the burglar being
extradited from Canada to Paris. To-day
a despatch from Kingston, Ont, where the
big Government penal institution is, says:
'Kid MoManus, held for eXtradition to
France for the theft OF American Express
Company bonds. will probably not be taken
TO Paris on that charge. The French
authorities may have other accusations.
President Fargo Of the express company
has withdrawn the charges The Rev.
Father Mcdonald, Roman Catholic chaplain
at the penitentiary, was told by McManus
while he was in Kingston penitentlary
that the bonds had been destroyed. He
believed the man and made affidavit TO
what McAlanus told him Sheriff Foley
has given a personal bond for 5000 to
vouoh for McManus's statement. For these
reasons the bond theft charges are with
drawn
McManus kept a saloon in New York
city years ago and then helped both Senator
Timothy Sullivan and Senator Foley in
their political aspirations. They have
never forgotten II and are going TO help
the burglar, 1t is said, no matter what 1t
costs
1t Is stated at Kingston that both Senator
Timothy Sullivan and Senator Foley OF
New York often visited Kingston for the
purpose OF seeing McManus in the peni-
tentiary there and that they had inter
views with him.
McManus went to the bad through drink,
but has reformed and wants to start anew
in New York. During his six years in the
penitentiary, the term being now about up,
he has been a model prisoner. He has de-
clared that the American Express Com
pany bonds that he and his pal Eddie Guerin
stole were taken by the latter. The bonds,
however. were destroyed. McManus and
New York friends are willing to give per-
sonAl bonds to the extent OF some thousands
Of dollars that the stolen bonds are not in
existence.
The crime for which France is seeking
to eXtradite McManus is know as the Rue
Scribe bond robbery. 1t was for IL that
Eddie Guerin was sent 10 DEVILS Island,
whence he escaped a couple Of years ago,

COTTON MARKET
 DRAGGING ALONG Opening Is Higher on Foreign News But Soon Reacts CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST Buying Is Restricted To Small Limits and Publishing of Private Crop Re-
 port Has Little Effect
 Upon the Market.
CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST

New York, July 1.-The cotton market was less active today, with fluctuations narrow and irregular and the close steady. net unchanged to points lower Sales were estimated at 900 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points in response to bet ter English cables than expected and continued talk of probable crop damage in parts of the eastern and central belt through drought and high temperatures. Very little buying power developed, how ever, and after some early irregularity the market showed rather sagging ten- dency, particularly in the late trading. when there was some selling of October by brokers credited with operating for one of the leading Wall street interests, and the close was at practically the low est figure of the day.
 Much of the business was probably in the way of evening up for over the week. and, with no large interests showing much aggressiveness. while outside buy ing for long account was restricted by reports of free offerings for a new crop shipment from the south and the forecast for lower temperatures and scattering showers in Northern Alabama and west ern sections of the belt.
 A private crop report issued during the day made the average condition S6 against s5.3 by the same authority at the end of the last month, but while this improve ment was smaller than many had an ticipated. 1t had little or no effect on the market. Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to 1-16c lower.
 Receipts at the ports. 3445 bales against 9943 last week and 12OO last year.
 For the week. 27.OOO, against 33,2S7 last week and 1O.36l last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 1922 bales against SIS last year, and at Hous- ton 1505 against 31 last year.
