pected and the weather map was fav-

over the cotton belt, but there was an
entire absence OF selling power and a
moderate demand served to give prices
an upward tendency. The forecast pre-

first half hour OF trading, prices were IL

The market was dull but steady from
the middle of the morning on. Several
times a selling movement started, but
shorts withdrew as soon as the long side
offered support and the result was that
the advance of the early hours was well
maintained. News from the belt was
encouraging, but had no effect on prices.
Texas reported the first cotton of the
season up in the San Patricio district,

BIBLE FIGURES AS AN
AUTHORITY ON LEPRoSY
BY Assoclated Press.

Tacoma, Wn., March 19.-After a
hearing in which the Bible figured as
an authority on leprosy, Superior
Judge Clifford declined yesterday to
issue a restraining order preventing
the county authorities from fencing in
John r. Early, the alleged leper. On
the property he occupied at Summit
View, a suburb. Expert witnesses de-
clared there was practically no danger
of any one contrac citing leprosy from
Early. In an attempt TO controvert
this, attorneys for the Summit View
residents quoted passage from the
Bible. DR.. z. NJ. Brown, a surgeon in
the Philippine war, testified that he
did not believe the Bible competent
authority on medical subjects.
Early recently was offered q position
by the government caring for another
leper, but because of his enfeebled
state of health was unable to take it.
