A. F. OF L. WILL SUPPORT
 STRIKING SWITcHMEN.
This Means That Other Railroad Un-
 ions May Be Involved.

Cincinnati. O., Dec 10.-The Ameri- can Federation of Labor will support the railroad switchmen who are on strike in the. northwest to the extent Of it's powers, according to an an- nouncement made tonight by Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, after long talk with Frank Hawley, president of the Switchmen's Union of North America. This is said to mean that if the railroads do not concede the demands of the strikers the trouble may spread until it involves other rail- road unions connected with the Amer ican Federation of Labor MT. Com pers refused to say whether there would be an extension of the strike. but he said that after a full investi- gation he was satisfied that the de- mands of the strikers were, reasonable and that they would receive the sup port of all affiliated unions.
 MT. Hawley was jubilant over the de- cision of MT. Gompers. He ridiculed the published assertions of railroad of ffcials that the strike was ended and exclaimed: 'They cannot beat us now that the great Federation of Labor is behind us."

Most Sensational Scene on Exchange Since the
 Sully Boom of 1904
COTTON MARKET WILDLY EXCITED
Spectacular Rise Followed Announcement from Wash ington of the Government Crop Report he Small lest Crop Since 19O3-Tremendous Rush to Buy World Orders Poured In-Yield Underestmated?

New York, Dec 10.-Not since the Sully boom of 1904 has the New York cotton exchange witnessed a more sensational scene or a more spectacu- lar rise in prices than occurred today with the announcement from Wash ington of the government crop report. With the galleries crowded with vis- itors from the south, augmented by friends and relatives of operators and other interested spectators, the market scared to a new high record for the season with a gain of more than $2 a bale over yesterday. Both the May and July options touched the high mark of 15.S0. both gaining approximately for ty-two points over yesterdays close. 100000 Bales Change Hands in an
 Hour.
 Bull brokers prevented a more vio- lent advance, for they had distributed heavy selling orders every five points up from 15.55 for May and Jury. They sold enormously on this rise supply ing the demands from the shorts and also the hurried thrush of buying or ders from Wall street, Chicago and southern operators, and the local and New England drygoods interests. The market continued in an excited state up to the close, and the estimates are that 5O0,O0O bales changed hands in the last hour May closed at 15.67 and July at 15.74.
 Smallest Crop Since 1903.
 It was exactly two o'clock when the
Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-11

news came from Washington that the government estimate was only 10,08S,- 900 bales, the smallest crop since 1903 and less by nearly 3,000,000 bales than last years consumption of American cotton. Immediately there was a tre- mendous rush of buying. Orders pour jumped from 20 to 30 points on the first transactions. Tremendous Trading-Rapid Fluctua-
 tions.
 Trades made just before the report was announced were on the basis of 1850 for May deliveries; the next sales were made at 15.70, an advance of $1 a bale. This was followed by tremendous trading, both ways, and by rapid fluctuations.
 A break to 15.65 followed and then came the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctuated along the same lines, while March reached 15.60 as it's high point and closed at 15.40
 The government estimate is about 10000 bales below the predictions of the most sanguine of the bulls and the action of the market was a natur- al consequence.
 Previous Crops Underestimated.
 It now remains to be determined whether the federal estimators have underestimated the yield, as has been the case for the past ten years. Dur ing that time the crop has been un- derestimated at from 500,00 to 100000 bales.

BATTLEsHIPs GEORGIA
 AND NEBRASKA IN COLLISION
While Manoeuvring of the Virginia
 Capes-Armor Rivets Strained.

Washington. Dec. 10.-The battle ships Georgia and Nebraska collided Thursday afternoon while engaged in tactical exercises off the Virginia capes.
 The effects of the collision were not serious and the two ships were able to return to Hampton Roads today with the entire fleet. Rivets in the two ves- sells were strained.
 This information came to the navy department this afternoon from Rear Admiral Schroeder, commander of the fleet.
 Commander 4. H. Davis was in charge of the Georgia. Captain Potts the recent commander of the battle ship, having been relieved and his suc- cessor not yet been appointed. Com mander Davis is the executive officer of the Georgia. Rear Admiral Comfy, in command of the third division of the fleet, was also on the Georgia. The Nebraska was commanded by Captain John F. Newton.
 Further than describing the effects of the collision as slight" the navy department had no information to give in regard to the damage suffered by the vessels. It was learned, however, that the collision was severe enough to strain the rivets of the armor of the vessels.
 A court of inquiry probably will be appointed immediately by Rear Ad- miral Schroeder to ascertain the re- sponsibility for the accident.

ABOLITION OF BEER HALLS
 AT SOLDIERS HOMES.
Did Not Make for Sobiety Among the
 Veterans.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The abolition of beer halls at the national soldier homes did not make for sobriety and religious observance among the vet erans, according to the report of the Inspectors, submitted to congress to- day by the secretary of war. This re- port says that there were 1,026 more trials for drunkenness in the various homes in 1909 than there were in 1906, when the beer halls prevailed, or near ty 32 per cent.
 There was one charge of drunkenness For every AT men this year, as against Dne for every 6.5 men in 1906.
 Evidently suppression of beer halls at homes has not tended to promote sobriety. but on the contrary" says the inspection
 Neither did the veterans go to church more frequently or regularly than when the intoxicating beverages were excessive. In 1906, says the re- port, the religious attendance was e3.5S per cent, and in 1909 it was but 17e7,

FOUR ROBBERS HOLD UP

 Only $115 and Escaped.

The Thirteenth Ward Building and Loan association a neghborhood affair. meets every month in the rear room of Clauss' saloon. Tonight the members had just paid in their month- ly dues and premiums when four Hun garians entered the saloon by the front door. Cash and loose silver lay in heap in the middle of a table in the rear room. One robber took his stand near the front door, revolver in hand. A second covered the rear en- trance. A third, with a revolver in either hand stood up the Building and Loan association members, while fourth began shooting at random in to the ceiling and walls. One mem Der kept his head. Directly in front of him was s7,900 in cash and directly behind him the saloon safe with opea door. He grabbed as much of the money as he could hold in both hands, thrust 1t into the safe, slammed shut the door and turned the knob in de- f1ance of the threatened revolvers.
 Upstairs, Clauss. the saloon keeper, aroused by the shooting and the fall of broken glass in his barroom below, rushed downstairs in time to grapple with one of the thieves. who had scooped up what bills and change fell to the floor. In the scuffie he wrested revolver from his man, but it ex- ploded just as he wrenched it free and 6 stray bullet glanced somewhere from the woodwork of the hallway and struck Fred Wepper in the face. His wounds are not serious.

When they did not return search was made. The gigs crew was found along the coast. Nothing has been heard from tho whaleboat, and the report says that the crew probably kept the little boat out at sea, fearing the breakers.
 The next day a gale came up and the opinion is expressed that the men wenc to the bottom of the Caribbean.
 Naval vessels arc still searching fon the men. 1t is said at tho department, and rewards have been ohered for their recovery. R. F. St. Jackson of New Bedford, Mass, was one of the men.
