SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION ENDS
WITH REFLECTIONS
Many Cities Try to Land Next Ses-

Will Probably Win
Meeting
ASSOCIATED Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.--What is de-
clared by it's officers to have been the
most successful convention of its kind
ever held came to an end today when
the National Rivers and Harbofs con
gress adjourned after d three days
session.
Representative Joseph Z. Ransdell Of
Louisiana was reelected president at
the morning session and Captain j. T.
Ellison of Cincinnati was reelected
secretary treasurer.
The new board Of directors met inn
mediately after adjournment and took
up the question Of the date and place
for the next convention.
Toledo, Ohio and one or two other
cities sought to have the delegates
meet elsewhere than in Washington
in 1910, but the directors pointed out
the most suitable place is the national
capital and that the convention should
be held coincident with the convenng
of congress.
The matter was put over after much
discussion. 1t was declared at the close
of the meeting, however, that a ma
jority of the board is opposed to any
change in time and place for holding
the convention.

the life Of Gordon has hung in the
balance.
There has been no announcement OF
an engagement between them, their

AT TOP NOTCH
SPECTACULAR RISE IN VALUES

Bull Brokers Prevent More Violent
Advance by Distributing Heavy

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Not since the
Sully boom of 1904 has the New York
cotton exchange witnessed more SEN
sational scene or a more spectacular
rise i'm prices than occurred today with
the announcement of the government
crop report.
With galleries crowded with visitors
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 gains of more than 81
bale over yesterday. Both the May
and the July options TOUCHED the high
mark of $3.50, both gaining approx
mately forty-two points over yester-
days close.
Bull brokers prevented a more vio-
lent advance, as they had distributed
heavy selling orders every five points
up from $1555 for May and July.
They sold enormously, supplying the
demand of shorts and also the inrush
of buying orders from Wall street.
Chicago and Southern operators, and
local and New England drygoods in
terests.
The market continued in an excited
state up to the close with estimates
that 100000 bales had changed hands
in the last hour. May closed at $15,67
and July at .s15,74.
It was exactly 2 o'clock when news
came from Washington that the gov
ernment estimate was only 10,0SS, 900
bales-the smallest crop since 1908. I'M
mediately there was tremendous rush
of buying. Orders poured in from the
world over, and prices jumped from
20 to 30 points in the first transactions.
The government estimate is about
200 900 bales below predictions of the
Nf a nd
action of the market naturally fol-
lowed.
It now remains to be determined
whether federal estimators have un-
derestimated the yield, as has been the
case for the last ten years.

Proves to Be Brilliant

surance circles throughout the country
and general manager of the Casualty
company, was the guest of honor last
night at an informal reception rendered
him by the knights of Columbus at
their club house on Twenty-second and

of it's informality, was one of the most
brilliant affairs ever planned by the
local knights, and a generous assemb-
lage of guests greeted the visitor.
Mr.. Hearn is past supreme grand
knight of the knights of Columbus, and
one OF the foremost figures in its east
ern chapters. He was given a truly
California greeting by his local BROTH

in Los Angeles.
Business interests will take Mr..
Hearn away from Los Angeles for a
few days, but according to the state
