New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, December 6.-Cotton fti- lures opened steady at a decline of 16 10 II points on poor Liverpool cables and a crop estimate of l4,275,0o0 bales. excluding linters, by an authority well known.
 Buyers of Thursday turned sellers and the market was unable to absorb the of ferings.
 The weather over the cotton region con- tinued cloudy and wet. II bad no effect on the trade although it was highly unfa- vorable for the gathering of the rem nants of the crop in the fields. Shorts were eager for profits and their buying checked the downward movement nime- diately after the first call. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were S to 10 points under the close of Thurs day. Around the middle of the forenoon the market broke on heavy offerings from the short side to level two dozen points under the final prices or Thursday.
 It was based on reports that interior shipments of cotton were being diverted for freight room, which caused the slump. Bears contended this pointed to a falling off in the export movement toward Liver pool and the demand for spots. The mar ket acted somewhat shorv, but the decline lwas stopped by realizing purchases on the part of bears. At noon the tone was fairly steady and prices were at net loss of 13 to IA points.
 Alter midday the trade was dull ana there was no visible pressure. At ? 2. m the market was 12 to 14 points under the la st prices of Thursday.

ROOSEVELT AND CLARK
WINNERS IN MARYLAND
Complete Returns Give Them Popular
PIuralities in Presidential Pref
erence Primary.

Baltimore, Nd. May 7.-Cn the
face of the returns, Colonel Roose-
welt will get Maryland's 16 votes
in the Republican national convention
at Chicago. With the state and city
organizations against him, he defeat
ed them both by close margin.
Speaker Champ Clark OF the Ma
tional house of representatives will
have majority of the Democratic
delegates to the Maryland state con-
vention and the delegation of Is to
the Democratic national convention
Will be instructed to vote for the
speaker for the Democratic nomina-
ton for president
Colonel Roosevelt will have 66 votes
in the state convention, just bare
one over the IS which constitutes
majority of the 129 votes in the state
convention. President Taft will have
SO votes and a further analysis OF the
returns may show that he may have
sufficient friends among the delegates
to control the personnel OF the Mary
land delegation. This will be fmpor
tant if Roosevelt cannot be nominated
on the first ballot, as the state Re-
publican leaders will then be able to
throw them to Taft on subsequent
ballots ee
Speaker Champ Clark was backed
in his fight by the entire city Demo
cratic organization and he swept Bal
timore and gets it's "a votes in the
state convention. Clark was also sup
ported by the state organization AMI
was an easy winner over Wilson and
Harmon, and will have 80 votes in the
state convention Wilson, his strong
est opponent, captured As, while Har-
mon received the four votes OF Wor-
cester county, the home of United
States Senator John Walter Smith,
who is staunch supporter OF the
Ohio governor.
The total Democratic vote in Balti-
more city was 29,3O2 Clark received
1927, Wilson 6,573 and Harmon 81
293 There were polled 154 votes for
an uninstructed delegation. Roose
velt's greatest strength was shown In
Baltimore city, his vote being 1855
to 1888 for Taft.
Jackson, Miss, May with the
names of Congressman Oscar Under
wood and Woodrow Wilson on the bal
lots, a preferential primary is being
held throughout this state today to
determine the choice OF the Democrat

and the fact that planters are very
busy at this time, being far behind In
their operations, small vote was
looked for. Leaders said that II $4,000

vote-is polled, they will be surprised

WHOLE FAMILIES
PERISH IN FLOODS
Scores Marooned in Large Sec
ton of Louisiana.
SWEPT FROM THEIR ROOFS
Motorboat Relief Parties Called to
Resoae, Arrive at Stricken Homes
to Find the Occupants Had
Vanished.

New Roads, La, May 8.-Thir-
" persons were drowned Monday
In the interior of Point Parish
when waters from the break in
the Mississippi levee rushed into
the district without the slight
est warning. Survivors report
that twelve bodies have been recov-
cred and that the death list may reach
fifty.
1t is known that motorboats sent to
take many persons from floating
housetops arrived too late.
How many persons persisted as
they were overtaken by the food cam
not be determined. Refugees brought
to the concentration camps are hur-
ried hither and thither, sometimes
families are separated in the confu-
sion, and persons have been reported
missing" who simply have been sent
from one camp to another.
Nevertheless, large numbers or the
refugees say they have seen entire
families swept from the housetops into
the food waters.
Leaders of the rescue corps admit
that several times they have sent mo-
torboats to points where families had
taken refuge on the roof of a house
and that when the boat arrived It's
crew found only the building, bu1eted
about by currents, and half it's roof
surface submerged.
Appeals for help have reached here
from Lettsworth, directly IN the pain
of the Torras torrent. Half hun
dred people were reported to be in i'm
minent danger of drowning. The
house in which they had taken shelter
had been dislodged from it's founda-
ton and was being tossed about In the
current
There are at least 1000 people who
remain to be rescued from the mum
dated country west of Lettsworth and
Bachelor. Some of them are drifting
about on hastily constructed RATS.
The crevasse water Is spreading at
a rapid rate, inundating sections or
Poante Coupee parish which have new
er before been reached by overfiows
Town after town is being buried De-
meath the muddy waters.
Passengers on the last of the spe-
cial trains which have been bringing
refugees out Of the country around
Bachelor who have arrived here state
that water was flowing over the tracks
for distance of five miles. An at
tempt was made to cross the flood, but
about halfway the track gave way
and the caboose and three cars toppled
over. Occupants OF the derailed cars
were thrown into the water, but es-
capped.

Five Coaches and Engine on New Or

BILE Down Embankment Into
Tangled Mass.

Hattiesburg, Miss, May s. The
first section of the Texas Con-
federate reunion special on its
way to Macon, Ga, was wreck
ed Monday six miles north of this
city on the New Orleans and
Northwestern railroad and at least six
passengers and four trainmen were
killed and twenty-five or more passen-
gers more or less injured.
Five bodies were brought to Hat
tiesburg on the cars of the big spe-s
cial which remained on the track. and
five or six other bodies were reported
under the wreckage.
The engine, baggage car, the day
coach and three tourist sleepers left
the track and rolled over down an en-
banknent. The six remaining coaches
of the veterans special were hurriedly
transformed into a morgue and hos
pital and as soon as an engine reached
the scene tbs dead and injured were
brought here The injured, some or
whom are believed to be fatally hurt,
filled the two hospitals of Hattiesburg,
while the dead were taken to an I'M
dertaking establishment.
Five doctors and three nurses
reached the scene of the accident
within half an hour after the first
news reached here. Living comrades
of the dead and injured veterans, with
the assistance of the train crew whose
lives were spared, soon had all OF the
injured removed to the cars that
stood on the tracks and had gathered
together the remains of as many OF
the dead as 1t was possible to reach.
The train was occupied entirely by
veterans and their families.
The cause of the wreck has not
been ascertained positively. The train
was running at. about thirty miles an
hour and was crossing an embank-
ment with a trestle in the center.
Just as the engine reached the trestle
1t was seen to rear up and leave the
track. The five cars followed the
engine, some tumbling down the en-
bankment on one side and some on
the other, forming a tangled mass OF
splinters and twisted iron.

The flames were discovered by en-

turned in, and although the blaze
was not Of serious proportions at
first, it was almost beyond control
before the Waukesha firemen, ham
pered by lack of apparatus and IN

Result of Cooperative Union in gu

Washington, May 7.-Accompan}ed

State Wilson, President Taft Monday
sent to congress a second instaliment
of the consular reports, which includ-
ed those from France, Belgium, the

operation and the cost of living In
those countries. These reports are
the result of Investigations made by
the consuls some time ago by request

the rising cost of living has directed
attention to and augmented the mem
bership of the cooperative societies.,
more especially in France and Bel

CONGRESSMAN UNEARTHS
GIGANTIC CONSPIRACY
Nelson of Wisconsin Makes Csp
Charges Against Beef Packers ana
Certain Government Officials.

Washington, May 7.-RepresentatiVe
John M. Nelson of Wisconsin, who mas
Just returned from a trip during
which he conducted secret examlna-
ton of witnesses in Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia and other cities
declares he has unearthed a conspir-
acy between tbs meat packing com-
panies and certain officials OF the de-
partment of agriculture.
Mr.. Nelson charges that through
secret orders from officials OF the de-
partment to inspectors stationed IN
slaughter houses the packing interests
are enabled to kill and distribute many
thousands of diseased cattle every
week, menacing the health OF the en-
tire United States. Photographic
copies of such orders are now in his
possession.
So revolving are the conditions per-
mitted by the department in many
packing houses that government IN
spectors have resigned rather than
become party to them and placed
their information at the disposal OF
Mr. Nelson.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Mel
son authorizing complete investiga-
ton of the slaughter houses is now
before congress. The first hearing be-
fore the house committee on expendi-
lures in the department of agricul-
ture will be held on Wednesday.
AS precaution to prevent men en-
deavoring to kill the investigation
from learning the identity OF wit
nesses Representative Nelson intends
to produce at the first session OF the
inquiry, he has forbidden many OF
them to come to Washington before
they are called upon to testify.
