Supreme Court to Follow Suit.

The justices Of the District Supreme
Court are expected to follow the eX-
ample of the appellate court, and by the
beginning Of the January term the bar
association expects to see all the men,
bers of that court gowned.
One of the arguments advanced by the
adherents of the adoption of the robe in
the criminal courts is that it increases
the awe of criminals for the law and has
a salutary effect upon them.
The work on the new building for the
Court of Appeals has advanced far
enough to permit the removal Of the rec
ords of the court and the office of the
clerk. The press room, on the ground
floor on the east side of the building, will
he occupied by the newspaper men next
Tuesday. and their thanks are due Elliot

the accommodations, which are In mark

When the District Court Of Appeals
convenes for the next term in its hand

ton Several attempts. since the organi-
zation of the appellate court in 1893. to
have the courts Of the District adopt the

The counsel retained by Robert Buist. the girls millionaire grandfather, went over perfunctory grounds and the girl was remanded to the custody of the authorities Mrs. Cohen will be represented by an attor- ney. The lawyer made an effort to secure Cohen's discharge and urged that no evidence had been adduced. He protested at the postponement of the hearing and at the conclusion of the case secured writ of habeas corpus. The writ was made returnable next Monday.
 Miss de Janon Is still in St. Agnes hospital under police surveillance. She did not appear at the hearing of her companion. Cohen's counsel during the preliminary hearing today denounced the hold up of the case as simply for the qualification of private counsel" he said.

He said the man had been guilty of fendisn crime. hav- ing won the confidence and then the affections of an innocent girl, and hay ing lured her from the protection of confiding relative. Cohens lawyer de clared that under the law Cohen had committed no crime. Tne girl, he as- serted, had gone away willingly.

CLIFFORD PlNCHOT WILL

Washington, January H.--The question of whether witnesses in the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation shall be permitted to be represented by counsel and if so what limitation shall be placed upon their activities, is proving a serious prob lem to the copfeSea.zefs the Senate and House, who met today.
 It was practically decided that when 8 witness found himself accused of wrongdoing he could not be denied an attorney. It follows, therefore, that for mer forester Pinchot, who was dismissed from the government service by order of the President, will be entitled to have his lawyer present throughout the con- gressional Investigation
 Secretary of the Interior Ballinger like wise will be permitted to have his at torney present at all times.
 Whether former Assistant Forester Price, former Law Officer Shaw and former Field Agent Glavis will be al- lowed counsel, has not been decided. Some members of the conference are of the opinion that one lawyer might be

 Hamilton started at o'clock to beat Paulhan's record of 41e5 feet, made We'd nesday. He rose 300 feet, remained aloft F minutes and then returned, saying:
 My engine did not work right l will try it again tomorrow
 Paulhan careened wildly around the course while Hamilton was up. He was trying to make speed record of the course for one lap. the only thing he has not been able to obtain at this meet. He failed in more ways than one. Not only did he fall below Glenn H. Curtiss time, but in trying to descend into a short circle, his machine titled and struck the ground with one of the plane tips. Before he retired for the day Paulhan took Cortlandt Field Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, as passen- ger for a two-lap journey around the course.

 REVOLUTIONARY AFFAIR

der Don Jamie, the pretender to the throne.
 Prince Pignatelli, alleged to have been involved in the recently discovered plot through which the conservatives are said to have aimed to embroil the army with the government, was ar rested today.
 The liberal press strongely approved the energetic action taken by the gov ernment. The liberals declare that the measures were severe, but indispen- sable.
 Fl Pals says that the plot was de- signed to force the resignation of Minister of War Luque and thus pre- cipitate the fall of Premier Moret Prendergrast and his cabinet.
 The articles in the Correspondence Militair, which revealed the plot. were written by Senor Llorens. a Carlist deputy and officer, who used a pseu- donym. The issue of the paper was suppressed, whereupon the demon stration of army officers was made in front of the newspaper office.

named to look after the interests of all the dismissed government employees whose names are drawn into the inquiry but no agreement was reached on this point
 An effort is being made by the com mittee to prevent a forensic gathering in the tribunal that would be likely to prolong the case. There are many mem 'bers7 -Cbn8fess who have no syfnpatfy with the inquiry as it will delay legis- lation to conserve natural resources. They say if lawyers are admitted at all tho trial of the case will drag They are advocates of the Senate plan which was to shut out all lawyers and leave the interests of the principals of the con- troversy to be looked after by members of the investigating committee. It is salc the House will win in the proposition that report shall be made before ad- journment This is taken to mean that after the inquiry has been made the Presidents conservation programme will! be pressed and legislation enacted at this session.
 The conferees will conclude their de- Alterations probably in time to report to the Senate Monday.

Bad Slump In New Orleans.

Naw Orleans. January 14.--One of the xvorest slumps in the history Of cotton future trading was recorded today. Prices of the old crop deliveries broke soon after the lunch hour in Q most sensational manner and within a very short time were 10s to 116 points down from the high levels of the day. loss of about \ $5S0 a bale.
 Within less than half an hours time of trading there was a break of 60 points and prices crumbled away as registered on the sales board from I to Il points at a time. Almost three cents pound or s15 a bale lower than the highest levels of the season were the prices es- tablished. :,
 The cause of the break was generally regarded as without explanation Large traders including prominent southern bulls who recently went to New York have been talking very bullishly. It Is known, however, that a powerful bear clique has trained its guns on this bull faction.
 The decline started in New York and followed a period of quiet trading In which the market had taken on a steady tone, a fact which led the bulls to be- lieve that liquidation from their side was about over. Suddenly the selling started and in few minutes time the market was in state of semi-panic with long cotton being thrown overheard by the thousands of bales
 In the last half hour of trading the de- cline was checked by profit-taking by the bears They bought heavily and the re- suit was a reaction of about 30 points or S1.50 bale.

Washington, January H.-With the greater force of the storm of the last three days spent and moving to the east. dispatches from points in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys tell of enormous dam age wrought by the cold and heavy snow. Even with a thaw in sight great appre- hension is felt in many cities along the river banks.
 At St Louis extensive damage has been caused by ice gorge and conditions there are declared to be the worst in 9 years. Part of the big bridge over the Kaw river at Kansas City, Kas., has been crushed.
 Further westward. in Nebraska partic- ularly, hundreds of cattle are dying on the plains from the cold. In Michigan and Wisconsin traffic conditions are al- most demoralized. many passenger trains being stalled for hours and freight trains are far behind time.
 In Chicago and other cities of Illinois where there has been d great scarcity of fuel the situation is not promising, al- though the railroad managers believe that by tomorrow some relief will be possible. Milk shipments to Chicago are tied up and many dealers have announced that they will deliver only in the morn ing and then to homes where there are babies.
