ATTEMPT BY TWO ROGUES
TO ROB DRUGGIST SMITH
Western E'HoId-Up" Method,
Minus Courage, Employed in
Northeast Washington.

In imitation of the alleged western
style of doing things. two ''hold-up' men
entered the drug store of G. ]. Smith,
9Th and Il streets northeast. last night
shortly after IL o'clock. and attempted
to secure the druggists cash Mr.. Smith
called loudly for assistance. notwith-
standing the muzzle of a glistening revolt
yer was pointed in his direction. and the
would-be robbers were frightened away
before they had obtained anything.
Druggist Smith had just closed his
store for the night, and started toward
the rear of his place of business to get
ready to leave for home. He heard a
tapping on the front door. and when he
opened it saw two young men.
Asks for Cigarettes.
we would like to get package of
cigarettes one of the callers said to him.
will you accommodate us?'
Certainly responded the merchant
christening the door and admitting them.
The druggist walked to the space be-
hind his cigar case, and turned to get
the cigarettes from shelf, when a de-
mand for money made by the larger of
the two men startled him. Turning, he
found the man was pointing IA pistol at
MIN.
1t was necessary for the druggist to
walk to the rear of the store to get the
money from his drawer, he told the
"hold-up" men, but instead of going to
the cash drawer he raised a. side window
and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Beat IT, From the Store.
His outcry startled the would-be rob-
bers, and they beat it, from the place,
Druggist Smith told the police. Po-
liceman Houghlan, a member of the
headquarters clerical force, who occupies
the apartment over the store, was awak-
ened by the Outcry. He made a quick
response, but by the time he reached the
the pavement the robbers were out of
sight. but he heard the sound of their
feet on the pavement.
Bicycle Policemen Williams, Dellamico
and Broderick hurried to the drug store
in response to a telephone message, close
ly followed by Lieut. Falvey and Police
man McGrath in the patrol wagon. The
bicycle men were sent In pursuit of the
men, but no trace of them was found.
The druggist says the men We're stran-
gers to him. 1t is the belief of the
police, however, that they reside in the
northeast section of the city. Policeman
Broderick accompanied Mr.. Smith to his
home on 4th street northeast, between
T. and q streets. thinking the rogues
might possibly attack him OH his way
home.

Still in Need Of Funds.

Reports to date show that not quite two
thirds Of the funds needed for the joint
work Of the Associated Charities and
Citizens Relief Association have been
secured. It was the sense Of the COM
mittee that much hard work yet remained
to- be done in order to secure the funds
absolutely necessary to continue the work
through the spring and summer.
The fact that only loss persons have
thus far contributed leads the: committee
to believe that there must be many others
who are intending to do SO. Upon all
such the committe would urge prompt
action in order that 1t may wind up its
work at the earliest moment.
Those present at the meeting were
Corcoran Thorn, chairman; DR.. George NJ.
Kober, Fred s. Lincoln, Thomas w.
Smith and Col George Truesdell. The
headquarters OF the joint finance commit
tee is 923 H street northwest.

  Great Rush for Turkeys in Preparation for Thanks
 giving Dinners

Business was decidedly good in the fowl markets on Morris avenue yesterday. There was a great rush fof turkeys itt preparation for Thanksgiving with prices ranging around b and 16 cents per pound. Hens and flyers were sold al 10 and l5 cents per pound. While business in the fowl markets was very brisk, mer chants claimed that conditions were less active than is usual the day preeed- ing Thanksgiving. Prices were also lower than in most cases.
 The meat trade was also stimulated as result of the holiday with quotations strong and having slight upward tsad- ency. The close, however, showed no changes in meats.
 The thoroughfare was abundantly sup piled with produce. Shipments Of Califor- mia grapes were received. together with a carload of oranges. Celery is again scarce.
 The following is a list of present auota- tions:

STEAD|ER TONE
 TOC0TTON MARKET
Imparted By Foreign Buy ing-Cosse Easy At Net
 Loss of. 2 to 8 Points

New York, November 29.-f'oreign buy ing imparted rather steadier tone to the cotton market during today's early trading, but offerings became heavier late in the day, apparently on rumors or large ginning returns, and the close was easy at a net loss of to 8 points. The opening was, steady at an advance of l 10 points In sympathy with better cables than expected and on covering, which was probably prompted by reports of smaller southern offerings in Liverpool. There seemed to be quite a good many over night selling orders around the ring, and prices broke to 8 net loss of to points right after the call, but the decline was checked by good demand from houses with foreign connections in connection with covering over the holiday tomor- row.
 Prices later steaded up to about shade over the closing figures of yester- day. Most of the foreign buying was believed to be against sales In Liverpool and after the close of the Liverpool mar ket the support from that source was withdrawn. This was not followed by any immediate weakness and the mar ket during the early afternoon was very quiet but in the last hour offerings became heavier with the south quite large seller here and with local bears more aggressive, not only because oi the appearance of southern selling or ders. but on rumors that preliminary re- turns to the National Ginners' assoeia- tion to be published Friday would make bearish showing.
 Closing prices were at practically the lowest point of the session and while the winter months were about points up from the low records of yesterday later deliveries were very close to the lowest of the season. Cold weather was reported in the south after the rain or snow of the preceding day, and private advices indicated that ginning was being retarded but on the whole weather con- ditions are considered to be fairly favor able for ginning operations during tho present period or between November Il and December l. Receipts at the portp today S5.OOO bales, against S2, 704 last week and SS.065 last year.
 Receipts for the week 4I5,000 bales against 4S7,761 last week and 43S,567 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 15,9OS, against 39,S5S last year, and at Houston 2o,5O2, against 10,OS3 last year.
