A meeting WAS held at the Hotter
jefferson in this city last night by all
the local wholesale and retail dealers
for thehpurpose of organizing a local
Model License League, which will be
an auxiliary Of the national body OIL
that name. The meeting was called
by f. J. Hutson, of Louisville, KY
the national organizer, who arrived
here yesterday from Memphis where
similar organization with a large
membership was recently perfected.
The meeting was largely attended by
the representative liquor men OF the
city and much interest was displayed
in the proposed organization. The OBJ
jects of the league and its local work
was unanimously endorsed and agreed
upon by them. T. e. Buck was elected
temporary chairman and Harry Hanf,
secretary. 1t is proposed to effect per-
manent organization after State con-
vention, which is to be held IN Little
Rock within the next ten days. S. F.
Rosenberg, J. w Allen and w. r. Dud-
lev were named as committee to
visit every liquor man in this city to-
day with view of getting them to
agree to obey every law now standing
upon the statute books with reference
to the liquor traffic. This involves the
necessity of closing when the law says
they shall and remaining closed when
the law requires This and the re-
moyal of the saloon from politics rep
resents the keynote of the national
Model League movement.
In discussing the objects of the
league last night Mr.. HutsOn said:
II told the gentlemen present that we
were meeting with one object in view,
and that was for our mutual benefit
and also for the benefit of society at
large l told them that we had moth
ing to conceal and that we had the
united support of newspapers all over
the United States and that it had been
found to our advantage to at all times
permit newspaper men to be present
at our meetings.
II explained to them that we were
confronted with a terrific proposition
that unless we Immediately took steps
to satisfy the demands being made by
a. large element in society for liquor
regulation, that our business was alb
solutely doomed. l explained to them
that our trade represented an invest

MAY AND JULY
UP ON FURRY
Slight Advance OH New York Mar
ket Results in No Permanent
Business-Heavy Dry Goods Pur-
chases Indicates Improved Spring
Business.

New York, Feb. 13.-The market
1luctuated most narrowly during the
morning session. The opening was
slightly lower ON the active months.
A furry of covering sent May up to
Hip and July to 1911. But there
was no evidence that any new bust
ness resulted. Sentiment among
room traders was bearish on the
passage of anti-option law in Mis-
sissippi. Liverpool ruled steady but
there was little English buying. The
rally in cotton was as much on ac-
count of the strength in stocks as
on any local development. Easier
prices prevailed after the morning
bulge but the lack of both outside
and professional business character
lied the session. There is dis
tinct change in the local dry goods
situation buyers are more numer-
Gus and there is an expectation OF
improved spring business. The sit
uation from a speculative point of
view is very much mixed but we
think the final outcome will result
in lower prices. BACHE.

New Orleans Letter.

New Orleans, Feb. l3.-Spot
prices in Lierpool are lower and
dull, the turnover is small, total
sales only 5000 bales. Futures
seem dull, and trading without spe-
cial motive power. Our markets
are in the same position. Leading
interests in the near positions in
New York do not appear ready yet
for a decided move. Large dis
counts under spot quotations are
against selling of contracts and UNI
favorable outside considerations are
against buying. New-crop factors
are as yet too indefinite to attract
trading and business therefore is
very quiet all round. Parties hold
ing the long end of the March and
May deals in New York are sending
very bullish advices but this does
little more than put traders on their
guard.
The spot market is dull. Some
scattered business in extras and to
fill up shipments, but no new de-
mand. Lower to SELL

AS this constituted grand larceny under

Imposed in his case was due to the fact
that he was charged with grand larceny.

CHANGES IN SENATE
Continued from First Pase.)

NCNhH'NNN GhS OeOf
will decide the contest and it is conceded
to be close.
Many Candidate In Indianaa.
Not the least interesting of the senatorial
fights that will be settled in the next two
months will occur in Indiana. The change
Of the complexion of the legislature from
republican to democratic occurred so UNI
expectedly that 1t was like posting an at
~tfactive prize before a lot of runners that
had had no opportunity to warm UP. When
the election returns showed beyond a doubt
that Senator Hemenway's seat would be
vacated March 4, however, there were a
number of democrats who were not slow
in falling into line, Chief among these were
John w. Kern, candidate for vice president
on the democratic ticket; John L. Lamb of
Terre Haute; Thomas Taggart, former
chairman OF the democratic national COM
mittee; former Representative Benjamin f.
Shively Of South Bend. and L. Ert Slack
of Franklin, all of whom are still In the
race except Mr.. Taggart, who withdrew.
That Mr.. Kerr has more members OF the
legislature pledged to his support than any
Of the other candidates is conceded, but It
Is recognized that his pledges are stu
short of the number needed to elect. No
movement to unite against Kern is again
in evidence, and 1t is probable he can be
elected.
The supporters of some Of the candidates
are taking the position that Mr.. Kern was
sufficiently honored when given the vice
presidential nomination, but on the other
hand, Mr.. Kern's friends are assuming
that his acceptance of that nomination
amounted to a sacrifice which entities him
to receive the senatorial toga. Slack is a
young man and is making an active fight
for the place. One of his qualifications.
according to gossip of the contests, is that
'he looks, talks and acts like Senator Bev-
eridge." AS Senator Beveridge is a popu-
lar idol in his state and well thought OF
by the democrats, this is an asset. In
the event OF the failure OF Kern to Sc
cure the election, 1t is generally believed
that MT. Slack will make a strong show

ENAbhN HAAAtN
Threats of a movement in congress
against the proposed increase in freight
rates by the railroads opened up a new
prospect OF governmental Intervention. 1t
is the belief of those interested in railroads,
however, that the comprehensive changes in
rates and classifications proposed by all Of
the great railroad systems will become eff
fective and will be a material factor
towards re-establishing the revenues of the
railroads, This belief is a strong under
lying Influence in the stock market. The
placing of the Pennsylvania railroads early
order for steel rails was an important in
cident Of the week. 1t is supposed that
most of the railroads in the country have
been awaiting the decision of disputes in
volved in this order before providing for
their own requirements. A general placing
Of orders soon is therefore looked for now.
