COTTON REACHES
new LOW LEVELS
New York Market Again De-
moraIized by Heavy
Liquidation
Enormous Demands of Trade
interests Strengthen Prices
and Close Is Firm

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The New York
cotton market, following the downward
movement which began soon after the
new year, touched new low levels again
today with estimated liquidation of
200 bales. The recurrence of ex-
treme weakness seemed to create more
apprehension than other recent breaks
in prices, and the market was utterly
demoralized.
At the low point of the day March
contracts showed a decline of rs points
from the closing figures of last night,
while May registered a loss of 73 points.
In the latter case. as compared with
the high point of the season, this is a
drop of S14.80 a bale. When these low
levels were reached, however, an enor-
nous demand from strong trade inter-
ests, whose purchases checked the de-
cline Friday, brought about a rally and
firm close.
Purchases by spinners who realized
that future markets have had a de-
cline of nearly cents a pound from
the top, while spot markets have lost
little more than S5 per bale, and who
are buying as hedge against forward
requirements, also had a strong infiu-
ence toward sustaining the market.

'DICKER' REVEALED
IN HERMANN TRIAL
TarpIey and Mckinley Tell of
Deal With Men Convicted
of Land Frauds

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 1S.-Daniel w.
Tarpley related for the second time on
the witness stand in the United States
district court in this city, and he was
corroborated by Horace G. Mckinley,
how he and Mckinley discovered that
forest reserve was to be created in
the Blue mountains.
They also told of their dicker with
Franklin Pierce Mays, who with Will
lard N. Jones and George Sorenson,
have been convicted on the charge of
conspiracy to defraud the government
of public land, upon which former Con-
gressman Binger Hermann is now un-
dergoing trial
Again Tarpley told of the quarrel be-
tween Mays and Mckinley and of the
alleged statement by Mays and McKin-
ley that the so cents an acre offered by
Tarpley and Mckinley toward the fund
to create the reserve was not "suffi-
cient to pay the fellows at Wash
ington."
1t was left to Colonel Worthington of
counsel for the defense to inquire fur
ther into the identity of these alleged
fellows at Washington" but his ques
tioning was fruitless and their identity
apparently never Will De known.
Both Tarpley and Mckinley told
Colonel Worthington that they did not
know Mckinley added that Mays had
never told him and that when he asked
Sorenson if Mays meant that he had
paid agents in the capital city or If
clerks in some of the departments were
meant or if Mays meant that they were
higher ups" Sorenson had responded
that he knew just as little about 1t as
Mckinley did.
Only one other witness was ex
amlned today This was ]. L. Wells,
Grand Army man, who said that he
obtained from other war veterans for
consideration of from $3.50 to $5 each.

land and that these he turned over to

COURT TO DECIDE
IRRIGATION RIGHTS
Appeal in Case of Miller & Lux
Against Hickey Argued in
Washington
Contest Involves Jurisdiction
of Nevada Judge Over Cal
ifOrnia Land Title

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A contro-
versy between citizens of the states of
California and Nevada. involving the
right to use for irrigation and other
purposes the waters of the Walker
river, which flow in both states, was
argued in the supreme court of the
United States today.
The case was originally entitled
Miller & Lux VS.. Thomas P. Hickey"
The plaintiffs own about $4,000 acres
of land in Nevada. lying along the
Walker river, and the defendant.
Hickey and associates. hold title to
about 10000 acres located in Cali
fornia along the headwaters of the
same river and above the Miller & Lux
property.
Miller & Lux began the original ac-
tion in the United States circuit court
in Nevada in 1902 to restrain the
Hickey interests from using the waters
of the Walker river in California,
which they alleged deprived them of
their supply in Nevada. Rickey plead
ed lack of jurisdiction on the part of
the court, Dul I1dWltJ VI IAtC
United States circuit court of Nevada
held that he had a right to regulate
the titles to land in California. The
defendants then brought suit in the
superior court of Mono county, Cali
fornia, against Miller & Lux to quiet
title to the California land.
Judge Hawley, upon application of
Miller Lux, enjoined this action on
the ground of an invasion of the juris
diction of the federal court. The cir
cult court of appeals at San Francisco
sustained the injunction and the case
reached the United States supreme
court on appeal of the Nevada parties
from that affirmance.
The court is expected to decide the
ownership of the waters of a river
running through two or more states
and also the question whether the
courts of one state have right to
render decisions affecting the titles to
land lying within another state. Charles
c. Boynton, attorney for the Hickey
interests. denied this right in his argu-
ment today.

DEATH OF JULIA WARD HOWE
Noted Phlanthropist and Author Aged 81 Dies of Pneu
monia at Middletowu r. I.

Middletown, r. l., Oct, 17.-Julia
Ward Howe is dead. Bowed under the
weight of her 81 years, the noted phi
lanthropist and author succumbed to-
day to an attack of pneumonia The
end came peacefully in the cottage in
this town, just outside Newport, built
by her husband more than thirty years
ago, and since then her regular sum-
mer home. The three surviving
daughters were at their mothers bed
side when she passed away, but her
son was absent.
Her body will be taken to Boston on
Thursday next and on the same day
her funeral will be held at the Church
of the Disciples, Unitarian, where for
many years she had been a parishioner
and friend of the venerable pastor
Rev. DR.. Charles G. Ames.
1t was DR.. Ames who said of Mrs.
Howe on one of her recent birthdays:
Through the storm and stress of the
world Mrs. Howe has always kept
afoat, finding a life preserver in her
faith, hope and love"
Those who knew her intimately said
that her unfailing optimism was the
great source and support OF her mani
fold activities.
Born in a cultured home in New
York city, and educated with care, she
showed from her earliest youth a re-
markable avidity for study and supe-
rior literary tastes. She was but %
years of age when she came to Bos-
ton and met DR. Samuel Gridley Howe,
the great philanthropist, and two years
later they were married From that
time until DIR. Howe's death in 1876
this remarkable couple showed never
firing partnership of activity in all
things making for the uplift of man
kind. After her husbands death Mrs.
Howe continued her work by pen and

What Winnipeg is Doing.

Up north of the International boun-
Diary line something very like aerevo-
luton is in progress. And it is none
the less revolutionary because it lacks
the noise and fury which accompanT
the spinning of the squirrel cage far
to the south. Very quietly and with a
certain grim determination the people
of Canada are moving steadily FORWARD
on new-and in some cases-Startling
lines TO the radical the Canadian
policy Of public ownership and control
may serve as hope and inspiration;
to the conservat tive as warning and
a. menace: but to every Fnan Of lntell-
gence it must be a matter of Keen in
terest.
Putting into practical use many of
the teachings of the socialist, they
utterly deny any sympathy with so
cialism Adopting as do some of their
largest cities the single tax on land
values, they declare they are no d1sel-
pies of Henry George. Boosting them
selves a pure democracy and recosniz-
ing the voice of the people as the SUI
preme law, they swear willing allegi-
ance to King George of England. And
all these apparent Inconsistencies only
add to the compelling interest which
must always attach to the spectacle of
a new empire in the ma king.
Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba,
a thriving city of 10000 people, near

NINE HUNDRED PUPILS
Excluded from Bridgeport Public
SchooIs-New Medical Inspection.

The work of DR.. Florence Sherman,
the medical inspector of the public
schools. is beginning to show. accord
ing to the Bridgeport Telegram. In her
first report to the board she says of
the number of pupils that she exam
med at the Kossuth street school ITO
cases required attention, resulting in
their exclusion. Pupils are excluded
from the schools for about twenty req
sons, and one of the frequent reasons
is pediculosis. In that case a card is
made out and sent to the parents with
instructions printed on the back for
the cure of the trouble. The directions
are printed in five languages, including
English
Should the pupil have any disease,
contagious or otherwise, or for any
reason that medical attention is re-
uuired. the scholar is sent home with
yellow slip telling the parent just
what the trouble is and that the pupil
must remain away from school until
the ailment is cured The pupil is not
allowed to re-enter the school until
DR.. Sherman again passes upon tia
case.
DR.. Sherman has desk room in the
board of health quarters and is sup
piled with a full set of blanks for her
work which is now in full operation

husbands labor for the Greeks IN the1r
struggle for independence; she had as
sisted him in his anti-siavery ork and
fired the nation with her Battle hymn
of the Republic" she had Joined
heartily in the crusade for woman suf-
frage; then in the last year of her life
she pleaded for the little children by
participating in public hearing at the
statehouse and urging that action be
taken to insure pure milk for infants.
Although perhaps best known on her
literary side as the author of the
Battle Hymn of the Republic Mrs.
Howe was the author of many other
POEMS of which she had published
several volumes, and of many prose
works. She was one of the most
prolific contributors to the Woman's
Journal, the woman suffrage publica-
ton. of which she was founder. Her
works included volumes recormting her
travels with her husband in Greece and
Cuba
Mrs Howe Was peculiarly blessed in
her children. One, Julia, became the
wife of Michael Anagnos, and actively
assisted him in his work for the blind
up to the time of her death. OF the
other three daughters, Mrs. Florence
Howe Hall is prominent woman suf-
fragist Mrs. Laura e. Richards is a
talented author and Mrs. Maude Howe
Elliott is the wife of John Elliott, the
artist. and is the author OF several

The New Ballot Law.

The new ballot law is in some re-
spects "a corker'' and it is no wonder
that many people trying to vote in
diligently and according to their pre-
ferences at the late elections, invali-
dated their votes and so did not vote
at all On the subject of erasures and
the voting of some name not on the
regular party ticket The Hartford
Courant makes the following statement
which is doubtless correct:
AS to voting every name on the
ticket the voting law does not compel
a voter to vote for every position in
some way Or other. After he has put
his * in the circle over the party
column. it is presumed that he voted
for every man in the column. To over
come this presumption he must signi-
fly his disapproval by voting other
names than those in the column. eth
er by voting for names in other col
unlns or by writing names in the blank
spaces. Once he has put his "X'' in
the circle. as he must, he is compelled
to go the whole figure and vote the
whole ballot in some way or other No
injustice is done TO him by this COM
puh51on. 1t is q compulsion of his own
choice. He is not compelled to vote 1t
ALL If he does not want to. Having
once made up his mind to vote he
should express his choice correctly If
he wishes to vote for one man only.
he must go to the trouble of express
ing his disapproval of all other names
in his column by voting for names in
other columns or by writing names of
townspeople in the blank spaces. IF he
cannot think Of names of voters In his
town that would act as wadding to I'LL
UP space, let him try the names of
the presidents of the United States
beginning with George Washington or
memorize an assortment from thu for
