ARCHBISHOP RYAN
RALLIES SHARPLY

PHILADELPHIA, February 3.-The vitality

has completely puzzled his physicians.
Notwithstanding that bulletin was IS
sued last night stating that the aged
prelate would probably not live through
out the night, he awoke today refreshed
by several hours of sound sleep.
Today his condition was more satisfac-
torv than it had been for nearly a week
Besides receiving half dozen callers ne

and signed his name to an important doc

Catholic societies.

TODAY the distinguished patient responded
and later he jointed with Father Kava-
nagh in singing hymn.
He paid close attention to the reading
of several letters which had reached him
in today's mail and was particularly
nleased when his secretary read notS
from President Taft, In which the Pres

COTTON SLUMPS
THIRTY POINTS

New Orleans, February 3.-After weeks
cotton market suddenly broke out to-
day into violent activity and prices of the
old crop months in the futures market
slumped over 80 points from the level OF
Thursdays close
AT the lowest of the day, late in the
session, March was 80 points down and
May and July were 80 points down. This
The new crop months were compara-
lively strong.
At the lowest October stood 10 points
down.
The chief reason for the decline ap-
peared to be the collapse Of the bull
campaign in the Liverpool market. Bear
pressure at the right moment appar-
entity brought this about The first signs
of weakening were seen yesterday aft
ernoon. This morning the weakness in
creased and in the afternoon session the
market was more or less demoralized
with holders of long cotton throwing
their contracts overheard and selling as
much, if not more, cotton than the shorts
who were engineering the break.
One of the factors in the situation is
the outbreak of bubonic plague In the
far east, which private messages by cable
from England say is, having all adverse
effect on the Manchester cloth market,
where 1t is feared that the epidemic will
result in cancellations of orders for
cloths. Manchester and the immense bus
mess it has been doing with India and
China in cloths has been the backbone
of the bull movement of this winter and
the slackening in trade there is KEEN
ly felt by the long side in the market
for raw cotton.
In the future market March closed at
1452 cents, showing u net loss for the day
of 81 points. f

Take Three Days Rest
Grind Has Been Most Severe Ever Known In Alabama Legs
lature and Handling of Liquor Question Has
Been Especially Vexing
BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, February 3.-(Special)-
Tired of the legislative halls, weary of
wordy debate and glittering generalities,
and sorely distressed over the local option
tanglc which up to this time has looked
for all the world like the most mac
cessible jungle in dark Africa, members
of the house of representatives and of
tbs senate Of the Afabama legislature
folded their tents this afternoon and
sneaked to their homes for a three-days'
rest. They left the city on every train
that departed after the adjournment of
the two houses for the day.
Some of them got away early; some late
tonight, but the majority will quit the city
on Saturday morning trains. All are glad
of the little rest. 1t came like a silver
lining to a very ominous cloud.
Since the solons opened their session in
this city on January 10 the one question
that has been uppermost in their minds.
and which has been the most mooted of
the day, has been how to get away from
the present prohibition laws. Many rem
edies have been proposed and countless

One of the most interesting expert
ments of a military character made at
a rcent aviation meet in San Fran
CISCO was that in connection with the
operation of wireless telegraph. Lieut..
Paul Beck, one of the officials of the
meet, went up in a Wright biplane
with Philip o. Parmalee, both of whom
are shown in the accompanying picture,
which has just reached New York. The
picture also shows the wireless appar-
atus which they used. Mr.. Parmalee

P. G. Bowman has received the appoint
ment of back tax commissioner OF Jef-
ferson county.
The state tax commission made the ap-
nointment this afternoon and the appoint
ment was approved Immediately there-
after by Governor O'Neal. The appoint
ment was made over the protest OF many
nromnent men of Birmingham. In dis
cussing the appointment this alierhooh
Governor O'Neal said:

sent from one end of the field to the
other, where they were received with
complete success. Lieutenant Beck re-
ported that he experienced no difficulty
whatever in operating the wireless
mechanism and expressed the belief
that he would have had no trouble In
operating it at a much higher alti-
tude no matter how rapidly the biplane
might have been moving. The officers
who received the messages were 1ubi-
liant over the clearness and distinct
ness with which they received them ana
declared the experiment had demon
strated the complete feasibility of the
areoplane's use of the wireless.

tive until new governor is qualified.
The bills which have passed both houses
and have been signed are:
Senate bill No. 5. and house bill No
ga, amending sections 92O, 922 and 92S OF
the code, each having to do with the
election of minor officials of the legsla-
ture. and house bill No. 46, creating the
inferior court of Montgomery county.
1t was the determination of the legis-
lature, it seems, to do nothing until a To-
cal option bill was put up for passage
Hereafter 1t is expected that the work
will be pushed more actively.

pnyiIn Gives Up the Fight

New Orleans, February 3.-'The end OF
Zelayaism in Central America is the In
depreciation given by Central Americans
in New Orleans today by the dispatch
from Washington today announcing the
practical capitulation of Miguel r. Davila,
President of Honduras.
The news that President Davila had ln-
tmated to the state department at WASH
ington that the Intervention of this gov
ernment would be welcomed was no sur
prise to those who have followed closely
the movements of Gen. Manuel Bonilla.
leader of the revolutionists in Honduras.
With the capture of Ceiba and the evacu-
alton of Puerto Cortez, the two principal
ports of Honduras, it was freely asserted
that Bonilla would soon regain the presi-
dency of that country.
Statement Given Out
Dr. Fausto Davila, the close personal
friend and adviser of General Bonilla.
and who for many years occupied a prom.
inent position In the official life of Hon.
duras, tonight gave the following state
ment to the Associated Press:
1.-The end of Zelayasm in Central Amer
lea Is accomplished through the defeat
of Davila and honest government in Hon
duras will be re-established through the
recovery of the reins of government by
Manuel Bonila. 1t Is gratifying that the
ONtIlDlOW VI titc picotht SVNci ia
my country has been accomplished with
so little boodshed. General Bonilla is .
man of peace. There would not have
been single shot fired but for the des-
perate efforts of the Zelaya intriguers to
defeat the choice of my people for Pres
ident.
"It is foolish for Davila to ask for
American Intervention Mt the last moment
when the triumph of the righteous cause
of General Bonilla is already accom-
plished Mr. Davila's appeal to the United
States at this time comes with poor grace
and is Inconsistent with his attitude Of
hostility toward American interests dur
ing his four years as usuprer and as the
tool of Zelaya.
BonilIa Welcomes Aid
General Bonila will welcome the good
offices of the United States government
ir aiding to restore the country to peace
and prosperity. 1t Is unnecessary to
now recount General Bonilla's many acts
of friendship toward the people of this
