AFTER GOOD START,
COTTON MET LOSSES.
Offerings Locally Found
Buyers Out of Market.

Active positions in the cotton con-
tract market yesterday opened at an
advance of 4 to 10 points as compar-
ed with the close for Saturday. This
early strength was due to a good Liv-
erpool market and to the stormy wea-
ther prevailing over Sunday in parts
of the belt. The English market gave
way before the close and this was
reflected on this side of the water,
but not before values had made gains
over the first figures. The desire to
realize became much in evidence be-
fore the noon hour, while prices later
ran off badly. Prices turned upward

net lower for other positions. Spots
were marked down 10 points.
New Orleans opened to 10 points
higher, but soon worked lower. The
close was several points up from the
bottom, s points higher for October
and 1 to points lower for May and

Liverpool opened unchanged to 2

The market is due 2 points lower this
morning. Spots were 1 point higher

SAY MINISTER'S
SANCTIONED WRONG
Chicago Police Make COun-
ter Play.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 23.-(Spe-
ciaD-Police and clergymen of this
city are having a lively time of it
these days. The clergymen accuse
the police of political graft On the
part of the police department it is
alleged the clergymen have formed
an organization to blacken the char
acter of men high in the department,
and that in carrying out such a pur-
pose the clergymen have caused their
hirelings to do illegal acts, even to
the commission of burglary.
Five men, all of whom say they had
been employed by preachers, have
been arrested and they make serious
charges against their alleged employ
ers. In brief, these charges are
That they were hired as private
detectives to procure evidence of
graft against city officials.
That they were told to use any
means, legitimate or illegitimate.
That to procure evidence, or to i'm
press their employers, they commit
ted burglaries, impersonated officers
and made fictitious reports of graft
which were being prepared as crimi-
nal evidence against innocent men.
