IN STATE CONTROL.
New York Insurance De-
partInent Has Permission
To Take Over Peoples Life
Association and League.
Court Thinks Members Will Be
Better Protected by This Action.

Syracuse. n. Y, Jan. 1S.-Justice w.
S. Andrews today granted the applca-
ton of the state insurance department
to take over -he Peoples Mutual Life
Association and League. Arthur F..
Sexton of the department was APP
pointed by Supt. Hotchkiss a special
deputy to take charge of the COM
pany.
Justice Andrews said that there was
no serious dispute that John Tevis of
Louisville, Ky, paid S150,0o0 to the
directors to secure control of the Peo-
Pies Mutual. He said that it had not
been explained why a deposit of $780,
600 was made in the Farmers Bank of
Toronto, Ont The directors, he de-
clared. had no right, legal or moral. to
sell control of the company. The state
insurance department had informed
him, ne said, that if it was shown to
be to the advantage of the members of
the association 10 continue it, that
course would be followed. He believes
the members will be better protected
by the department in control than by
the present officers. tssTEfx
The grand jury is engaged in prob
ing the entire transaction in the trans
fer of control to John Tevis.
Supt. Hotchkiss declined to discuss
the report that Tevis and w. r. Trav-
ers had agreed to turn over to the de-
partment sl50,O0O of the Peoples Mu-
tuaFs funds deposited in the Farm
ers' Bank at Toronto and that he had
sent d representative for the money.

Old-fashioned ways may be best in some

Old-fash1Oned ways may be best IN some
things but not in washing clothes.
The modern woman wants to get
through with her washing as quickly as
possible with the least work.
That is why she prefers the Fels-Naptha
way.
There's nothing old-fashioned about
Fels-Naptha.
It's distinctly modern and scientific.
1t dissolves all kinds of dirt in cool or
lukewarm water without boiling or hard j
rubbing.
1t cuts down the time for washing to
one-half or less.
1t saves fuel.
1t saves the clothes.
1t leaves the woman fresh and happy
after the washing is done instead of tired !.
and bad humored.
All this wouldn't persuade any one to
use Fels-Naptha if the clothes didn' t come
OUT of the wash bright and clean.
But they do-cleaner than if they had
been boiled and rubbed for half a day.
Works just as wonderfully with Aannels,
woolens, colored clothes as with the white
things.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

Bottom Falls Out Of New
York Cotton Market,
With Spring Contracts Way
Down, Trade Interests Appear
And Take Advantage Of Their OPP.
portunity...RaIIy Near Close.

New York, Jan. 1S.-The New York
cotton market, following the down.
ward movement which began shortly
after the new year, touched new low
levels again today with estimated
liquidation of 100000 bales. The re-
currcnce of extreme weakness seemed
t. create more apprehension than other
recent breaks in prices and at times
The market MAS utterly demoralized.
At the low point of the day, March
contracts showed decline Of 76 points
from the closing figures Of last night
while May registered a loss Of 10
points In the latter case as compared
with the high point Of the season, this
is drop CT $3.50 a bale. When these
low levels were reached. however, an
enormous demand from strong trade
interests whose purchases checked the
decline on Friday, brought about a
rally and firm close. Purchases by
spinners. who realized that while flu
ture markets have had decline of
nearly three cents a pound from the
top, while spot markets have lost little
more than IS per bale. and who are
buying as a hedge against forward re-
towards sustaining the market.
Generally speaking today's heavy
selling is supposed to have represented
liquidation by strong interests who
have accumulated large lines OF con-
tracts during the progress of the bull
market without much publicity. These
holdings they carried over the break
of last week, but apparently lost con-
hdence because of the failure of the
market to maintain its rally of last
saturday. Close observers also thought
that the pressure was increased by
some wall street selling for short ac-
counts and that the rally toward the
close OF the day was aided by covering.
with the days liquidation, it is csti-
mated that since this tremendous SELL
ing movement began about two weeks
ago. speculative holdings amounting to
nearly 4'ooo,oO0 bales have been dis
posed or These contracts are suppos-
eu 10 nave gone largely into the hands
of trade interests.

first class manner.
It's understood that the old passen-
ger station and freight house, which
have done service for so many years,
will be before long replaced by new
buildings which will in every way be
up-to- date. The citizens hope that
some arrangement can be made SO
that the station can be changed from
its present location on Lincoln street,
and moved to the junction of Main
and Lincoln streets. On account of
conditions which cannot be overcome
it will be possible for the Grand

A New Daily Is About to Be Estab-
Iished in New York.

New York, Oct. 31.-New York is
to have, if the announced plans are
carried out. a daily newspaper on en-
tireIy original lines 1t is to be known

Ernest F. Birmingham. for nearly
seventeen years editor and publisher

appointment of William Henry Beers
as general manager of that publication

of it in order to devote his entire time

The purposes of The Newsletter,
he states, will be three-fold.
First: To conderse the news of the
world for the benefit of the busy man
of affairs, experimenting it by the la
test news of Importance up to the
hour of going to press.
Secondly: To gather and present
the editorial opinions of the leading

and heavy offerings from Argentine and

MUST PAY The BILL.
Contractor Spencer Will Get Money for
School Work.

Judge Dana of the district court all
lowed the writ of man6amus asked by
Contractor Frank Spencer against S. A
Swendson, president of the school
board, Saturday evening after holding
it under Amusement several GAYS. The
writ compels Swendson to sign a war
rant for $3.50 claimed by Mr.. Spencer
for cut stone used in the Van Buren,
street school buildings. Swendson had
refused to sign the warrant on the
ground that James Cuthbert, a mem
Der of the board. had furnished the
stone to Spencer.
The court holds that Swendson has
no legal excuse for not signing the
warrants, as directed by the board of
education for the payment of the
amount which ]. G. Holland, the archi-
tect, certified that Spencer & Reese
were entitled to for work done and
of the Van Buren, school building, and
orders him to sign the same. SWend-
sons excuse for not signing was that
James Cuthbert. member of the
board of education, was also a mem Der
of the firm of Cuthbert & Sons. who
furnished the cut stone to the contrac-
tors, claiming that it was illegal for
them to do so. The court says there
was nothing illegal about it; and that,
in fact. the board profited by the
transaction to the extent of 5000. The
court also holds that the statute
ing in defense of his action has
no application to the facts of this
case, thus sustaining the position TAX
en- by those members of the board who
voted to allow the bill Among others,
the court made the following specific
findings:
1T was no part of the duty of
James Cuthbert. as a member of the
board of education. or as chairman of
the building committee, to oversee the
construction of this building, or to in
spect or approve any material used
therein, that duty devolving upon the
architect and superintendent of build
ings, employed by the board.
1.-THE contract between plaintiffs
(Spencer & Keese) and said board of
education is legal in all respects, as
was also the purchase of the cut
stone of said school building by the
plaintiffs from the firm of Cuthbert &
Sons
The court also holds that Swendson
is liable to Spencer & Reese for inter
est or the amount of their claim for
the time the warrant is withheld, as
damages

He Flew Lower.
Moissant did not fly at the high al
titudes of Grahame-White and De Les
age, but often he was below that. Ger
tainly, he was not much above 1900
feet when he reached the aerodome.
He was numb with cold when he
alighted, but was as happy as a school
boy when his time for the So miles
showed that he had accomplished the
feat at better time in the aggregate
than mile a minute.
Moissant said:
Il started with a biting wind
against me. I climbed higher and
higher, for by climbing two objects
were accomplished. Ry slanting up
ward in going against the wind it was
apparent that much OF its lettering
force was broken. The other reason
was that had made up my mind that

meeting at Convention hall here Sun
day afternoon in behalf of the pro-
posed statewide prohibition amend
ment. which will be voted on at the
November election.
The announced purpose of the gov
ernor's speech was to answer the argu-
ments issued by anti-prohibition lead
ers that prohibition has injured Kan
sas and that the law is not enforced in
that state.
IF any brewer or distiIler," de-
cIared Governor Stubs, "can show me
an open saloon or open joint in Kan
sas, I will close it at once or resign
The speaker read letters from may
ors and judges in various parts of Kan
sas to prove that the prohibitory law is
effective. and that since it has been
rigidly enforced, bank deposits have
increased, crime has decreased. real
estate has risen in value, and general
business conditions have improved.

idea is gained of the extent to which
the wireless is now used. IN this di-
rectory perhaps the most extensive in
existence, there are listed 1920 sta
tions. This total includes shore sta
tions and ships, but doesn't take into
consideration the warships of foreign
governments nor are listed the hun
dreds of stations equipped and oper-
ated by amateurs.
The directory is the work of the
bureau of steam engineering of the
United States navy. There are about
700 shore stations scattered about the
globe; of this number SO are on the
Atlantic and gulf coast of the United
States. AS on the great lakes, 81 on
