PLOT TO BLOW UP LINER
WITH GUNPOWDER IN COAL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.--The discovery,
a few hours before the time set for the
sailing today of the Russian liner
Lituania, of a can of giant gunpowder
in the coal that was being loaded into
the ships bunkers, is believed to have
forestalled a scheme for the destruction
of the vessel at sea. The Lituania car
ries more than 100 passengers and a
large cargo. Had the powder escaped
notice 1t would probably have found
its way with the coal to the furnaces
and disaster would have followed.
The can, containing one and a half
pounds of gunpowder, was almost
scooped up by the great shovel when
a workman saw it. 1t was taken to
the captain, who had 1t soaked in
water and the cover pried off.

COTTON GOES
UP TO NEW HIGH MARK.
No Signs of Bulls Losing Hold
on Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The cotton
market had another turn to the big bull
Campaign which has been in progress
here since last winter, under the lead
ership of the Southern bull operators,
and there was a sensational advance
in the price of August cotton. The
speculative sports. in spite of high
prices, waited until the last moment
for the new crop movement in the
South.
There has been no indication that
the bull leadership was loosening it's
grip upon the situation, Inc as it is
now too late to start shipments here
from the South with any certainty that
the cotton will arrive in town for de-
livery before the end of the month the
remaining ESQ is somewhat doubt
full.
Offerings were small and the opening
at 1910 for August deliveries sold
quickly up to 1913. about $3.50 per bale
above the closing price of yesterday,
and at a new high record for the sea-
son.

MOTHER SOLD
Her SONS VOTE
ene Adams County, Ohio,
Farmer Made Three Sepa-
rate Deals
CITIZENS COMING OUT
AND MAKING CONFESSIONS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WEST UNION, Ohio. Dec. 29-The
first arrest of a woman in connection
with the corruption of the ballot box
in Adams county is expected to come
to-day, following the indictment late
yesterday Of a widow alleged to have
sold her sons vote for So. The
mother is declared to have been de-
pendent upon her son for support
and merely availed herself of one OF
the usual ways of Adams county to
earn a living. In view or this fact,
Judge Blair has requested that the
woman's name be withheld and it is
expected that she will be dealt with
very leniently. The son also was in
dicted.
Sold Out Three Times.
Another complication arose in the
situation late yesterday wnen a jack
son township farmer confessed To
having sold his vote three times last
election day. He received $3.50 for
voting the straight Republican ticket f;
| $40 for voting straight for the Demo-
cratic nominees and SO for voting for
a particular Democratic candidate. In
view of his full confession, however,
Judge Blair only imposed the usual
penalties.

/ tarily coming into court and confess
! ing that they sold their votes in the
last election, though no indictments
have been returned against tnem. the

to-day as was planned. but will con.
tinue at work until Saturday.
Many New indictments.
When the grand jury reconvened
this morning 106 new indictments
were reported as the result of yes
terday's work About fifty men not
1 indicted visited Judge Blair yesterday
offering to pay fines. These cases viii
be acted on at once 50 the court car

This is the result of Judge Blair's
warming that those who failed volun,
tarily to come into court would br
fined heavily and taxed with addt
tional costs if they waited for officer,
10 arrest them. More than $500 II
fines WAS paid IN yesterday.
The total number OF indictments re
turned up to to-day is 9SS. and Il il
expected this number will be IN
4 creased to more than 200 before thl
week is out.
Among those before the court yes
terday was a farmer who owns
farm valued at $4,000. and his son
who is a first voter. Both had soll
their votes for $40. Judge Blair nne,
the father $40 and costs, while th'
son was let Off with fine of IS an,

Since the investigation began il hal
been shown that sixty men more thal
