V4LUE OF COTTON.
Ne7C Orleans Exchange Head
Discusses "Ne1C York Rad.

New Orleans. Jan. 19-Apropos of the So
called bear raid in the New York cotton
market. President w. h. Thompson. of
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange issued
a signed statement tonight. in which he
says:
If there was ever a time when the cot
ton producer and the holder of spot cot
ton should make a stand, that time is the
present. We have recently passed through
one of the most trying and unwarranted
declines in the history of the cotton trade
Spot cotton is intrinsically worth little, il
the mean time, through the manipulation
of few bear operators in the New YORK
market, the entire cotton trade mas pceh
for the time being demoralized.
Let IT he understood that the slump in
the contract market has not affected the
intrinsic value of cotton, The law or supL,y
and demand determines this value. The
New York raid is not legitimate incl
dent of the cotton trade, either in spots or
futures. 1t represents the efforts OF
few men with much money to gain thelr
purpose by a guerilla attack 1t Is as II
man or set of men, for the sake or
gratifying personal grudge and OF reap
ing a personal profit, should endeavor 10
stampede the occupants of a crowded
building bV the cry of fire.
The issue is a large one. II conpre-
hends more than the interests of the
bear or bull operators in cotton. 1t raises
the question as to whether a few manlpu-
lators shall demoralize great trace sys7
tenn and go unpunished therefor. IL al
fects the best interests of not only the Spot
market but the futures market as Wen.
The most powerful agent of retr1hut1on IS
within the control of the farmer ana spot
holder, if they will use IT.

That woman suffrage and socialism are

CHURCH STRIFE ENDS.
Nesc Trustees Supplant Mrs.
.StetsOn and FOlIOTcrs.

The new board of trustees of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist. met last night
for organization. and by the meeting and
recognition of the four trustees elected at
the stormy session of the congregation on
Tuesday night the so-called "Stetson'
trustees brought 10 a practical end the
strife which has kept the church at 9bth
street and Central Park West seethlns Tor
the last three or four months.
Threats of legal proceedings and injunc-
tions based on the protests of 'Stetson-
ites' against many of the voters in Tues
day nights election went by the board and
were forgotten when the new trustees met
with the old after the regular Wednesday
evening service of the church last night.
With the registration of the vote of i15
members of the congregation against the
trustees who have been known as the
''Stetson'' trustees, compared TO the 4so
who voted for their retention. members of
the church yesterday said that the last
remnants of Mrs Augusta E. Stetson
former control were disappearing, and the
work of harmonizing the two elements
would proceed quietly.
Virgil q. StriclSler. first reader of the
church and the man who has, with Rich
ard F. Vcrrall. led the opposition to Mrs
decried the talk of any revenge by his fol-
lowers, now that they are in power, OH the
defeated Stetsonites. The first reader also
said that he did not look on the victory as
in any way a personal one, but simply as
the decision of the congregation that they
believed in Mrs. Eddy's recent advice as to
democratic government in church matters.
The count of the ballots in Tuesday
nights election was not finished until 2:So
o'clock Wednesday morning, and the official
result was tabuated as 7S3 votes for the
Strickler ticket and ass for the "Stetson," or
trustees, ticket.
Benjamin F. Bailey Arthur o. Probst
and Margaret Beecher White were elected
as trustees for three years and Charles A.
Dean was elected as trustee for two years,

L4WYERS NEW RULES
Bar Association Seeks Sim pier
Procedure,

Having considered the report of its spe-
cial committee on the simplification of the
procedure the Bar Association issued a
statement yesterday in which ii was
nounced that twenty-nine of the fifty-two
recommendations of the committee had
been adopted without amendment, eleven
with amendments and eight in the form of
substitutes. Three recommendations were
rejected and one was reCommitted.
The association has adopted the views of
many judges and leaders of the bar, and
has followed the American Bar Association
in attacking the abuse of appeals. 1t rec
ommends the ignoring Of technical errors
that presumably did not affect the merits
and the granting of judgment and final
settlement of the controversy upon reversal
modification by the Appellate Division
without ordering a new trial, unless the
latter course is absolutely necessary
The association believes that the so-calied
''scintilla rule" should be abolished. If
being recommended that upon any Jury
trial where the evidence adduced by either
party is insufficient TO sustain a verdict the
trial justice shall direct such verdict as
would be proper had such party adduced no
evidence.
In order that real property shall not be
tied up indefinitely, the association recon-
mends the abolition of double or treble
statutory trials in ejectment on the pro-
bate OF wills of real property, and in surro-
gates accountings. In criminal cases the
association recommends that when two or
more defendants are jointly indicted they
may be tried Jointly or separately, in the
discretion of the court.
In conclusion, the statement says that
legislative action should be taken on the
recommendations, the feeling having exist
cd long enough that the state is place
where the laws delay is indefinite and the
city a place where the jury system i'll
criminal cases has broken down
