Madrid, October 13.-Today was the first anniversary of the execution of Prof. Francisco Ferrer, founder of the mod ern school at Barcelona, who was con- victed of having conspired against the government and brought about the re- bellion in the summer of 1909.
 The day had been dreaded by the au- thorities as the free thinkers, socialists and republicans had planned Ferrer dem onstrations that might easily lead to bloodshe5. Up to carly afternoon no untoward incident had occurred. This was due probably to the firm at- titude taken by Premier CanaleJas and the ministry and the orders issued to General Weyler, captain general of Cat alonia, to put down mercilessly any re- volt
 The government was plainly anxious. Throughout Spain troops were held at their barracks ready for instant service. Every officer and soldier on leave had rejoned his command at daylight.
 The danger of riotfng appeared great est at Barcelona, where the government refused to authorize processionsy and manifestations at Ferrer's tomb. Those wishing to place flowers upon the grave of the republican leader were compelled to do so individually and not in body. Even the assembling of small groups was prevented.

New York, October 1S.-An important move toward a settlement of the differ cnees now existing between European and American bankers over the cotton bills lading controversy was taken at a con-
 re here today when American bank X .ided by American cotton interests O cotton carrying railroads, recom- Ended the formation of a guaranty company" to validate cotton bills at the moderate cost of to cents per pale. This was merely recommendation, how ever, for so far as could be learned no action to organize the proposed guaranty company has yet been taken and it is considered likely that opposition win be manifested on the part of American cotton exporters.
 The plan as suggested is generally re- garded as decided concession to the European bankers, who have been repre- scented at conferences with New York bankers by Sir Edward H. Holden, chair man of the London City and Midland bank, which does an enormous business in American cotton bills. The American bankers are not especially optimistic con corning the outcome and some are dis posed to question the practlcabiity of the plan. A statement issued after the con- ference says:
 "The members of the committee of the American Bankers association and inn portant cotton men, together with Sir Edward Holden, met In consultation to- day and they came to the decision that the only possible solution of this diff culty will be creation of a guaranty com pany, with an adequate capital to guar antee the validity of bills of lading and to safeguard against forgery at the moder- ate cost of to cents bale. We be- lieve that when this company is formed its guarantee will be acceptable to the exchange buyers here and will be made in the form required by the European acceptors.'
 In addition to the bills of lading com

 A. H. Egan, superintendent of the Louisville division of the Illinois Central railroad, tonight authorized his first statement in regard to the trouble. He stated that the dssension started when F. A. Miliken was temporarily appointed a gang foreman in the car department. Milliken, 1t Is said, was objected to by the men because he Is said not to have given satisfaction while member of the general grievance committee. Milliken to- day rejoined the union and is one of the strikers.
 Mir. Eagan refuses to meet the general grievance committee and charges that the men violated their contracts when they walked out.
 The union men, on the other hand, re- fuse to allow the carmen's committee. which MT. Eagan has consented to meet to settle the differences.

Harrison Gray Otis, were adopted unanimously today by the board of directors of the National Association of Manufacturers. President John kirpy, IT.. presided. The resolutions are in part as follows:

 A telegram of condolence was sent to General Otis, saying, among other things:
 "While dynamite has destroyed your property. it is the belief of this board that 1t cannot destroy the spirit or pa triotism that has caused you to make the gallant fight you have made for the nreservation of natural as we'll as consti- tutional freedom in commerce and 1n- dustrv. reward for which will be exem- plified in the sounding of your praises for generations to come."

AID REQUESTED TO
 KEEP OUT CHOLERA

New York, October 13.-The health authorities of every city and town In the United States where immigrants coming from the infected districts of Russia and Italy take up their resi- dence will be asked by the federal inn migration authorities to assist in pre- venting cholera from gaining foo.- hold in this country. This decision was reached at conference today be- tween the Ellis Island authorities and a representative of Dr. Walter Wy man. surgeon general of the marine hospital service. Every immigrant and steerage passenger coming from the countries where cholera Is epidemic who is allowed to enter will be fol- lowed to his point of destination by a report from Ellis Island to the local board of health. These boards will be expected to keep a watch on all such arrivals and isolate them at the first indication of illness until the nature of the disease Is determined.
 The plan Is regarded as an extreme of precautionary measures and 1t will necessitate the sending out of an aver age of 10000 notices every week to health boards throughout the coun- try.

ARMY DESERTIONS ARE
 SHOWING DECREASE

Washington, October 1S.-Desertions from the army are not so frequent now as in the past. During the fiscal year just ended there was a decrease of 23 per cent in the number of assertions from the previous year, according to the annual report of Judge Advocate General George B. Davis, made public by the war department today A major ity of the assertions occur during the first enlistments, and General Davis rec ommends the adoption of "a distinct method of dealing with these offenders that will tend more toward corrective than to the punitive measures now in force"
 General Davis reports a material de- crease in the number of courts-martial for the year.
 "Of the men tried many were tried only once" he says, and it is safe to say that not more than one man out of every five was brought before a court martial more than once for purposes of discipline.

Time Limit Expires Soon

Time Limit Expires Soon
 Atlanta, October 13.-Interest through out the south in the contemplated cot ton bills of lading guarantee is sharpened by the fact that the time limit when cotton can be shipped under the old sys- tenn expires this week for most cotton shippers. October 31 is the date fixed by European bankers for enforcement of their demand for guaranteed bills of lading. It was announced here today that October 15 Is the last day on which these cotton bills can be handled out of Atlanta in time to arrive in New York for steamers reaching the continent by the end of the month. Many other southern points are similarly situated.
 It has been reported that some of the large cotton factors of the south already have made arrangements satisfactory to their European connections. The major ity of southern cotton men, however. have no such arrangements, and as the end of the month approaches with no definite plans announced by the banks as whole, and with reports from New York and from abroad that negotiations are still under way, there Is some apprehen- sion lest the movement of cotton be interfered with in the next few days. Consequently rumors of agreements and every scrap of information over news wires and in private telegrams has as- sumed exaggerated importance.
 New Plan Not Liked
 New Orleans, October 13-Any plans for the formation of a guaranty company to validate cotton bills of lading will meet with small favor in the south, ac- cording to leading representatives here of cotton and banking institutions.
 Previous proposals for such an organ ization are reported to have been vigor- ously opposed throughout the southern states on the ground that 1t would i'm pose an unwarrantable burden on pro- ducers and exporters of cotton.
