NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Trading in
cotton was only moderately active with
the tone unsettled. The bull leaders
and those affiliated with the cliques
following their position say the cen
sus bureaus ginning report bullish and
that it confirms their predictions of
crop of under 13500000 bales and also
the forecasts of perpendicular drop in
not only the ginning figures but the
movement of the crop and that they
are now sure cotton will soon sell at IA
cents and probably to Is cents before
the maturity of the March and May OPP
tions. This was good news to those
who were induced by the Wall street
traders and outsiders to buy cotton on
the bulge last Saturday and again last
Monday at the Is cent level for March
and May, when the bull leader was
openly helping to make a market. for
other brokers to liGuidate on. The re-
cent circulation of Stateme entS insisting
that the governments recent crop esti-
mate was entirely too high, claimed by
some as overestimating the crop by
100000 bales, were not confirmed by to-
days census bureau ginning report. 1t
would be to figure to the utmost to
make it appear so. Following is range

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2t.-The
state railroad commission clashed, for
the first time. with railway employees.
Thirty members Of the Common Car
riers' Employees Association appeared
before the commission and asked the
right to be heard whenever the COM
mission proposed to reduce passenger
or freight rates on any line.
F. E. Woodwork and A. Finley,
speaking for the trainmen, asserted that
the employees had found it impossible
to obtain higher wages or induce the
roads to install needed safety devices,
on account Of the commission having
reduced the income Of the railroads

REMAINS OF RACE $4,000
YEARS OLD BROUGHT HERE

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Prof. Hiram
Bingham. archaeologist at Yale, has
returned from Peru. With him he
brought 400 human skulls, 80 human
skeletons, Is bronze tablets and a
thrilling account of his experiences.
The professor spent almost six
months excavating the prehistoric Inca
city of Machupicchu and collecting
what remained Of folks who lived there
, some 10000 years ago. -
He undertook to climb Mount Polioi,
but his i2 mules deserted him at the
snow level-60O0 feet up-and stam-
peded. A thousand feet higher his
Indian guides lost heart and descend
ed the mount as he slept. He had
been without food for three days and
had made preparations to die when
he was discovered by an Indian boy.
who fastened to the village and
brought succor.
\ thrilling story Of broken cOnces-
sions by the Peruvian government is
told by. Professor Bingham. Explain,
ing the claim that Yale. prevented the
tAlJCN1ttOii liolIi CApiolllIC Wv
country Professor Bingham Said
''The proposal that Yale have exclu-
sive rights in the discoveries and inves-
ti"aiion was made by the Peruvian gov
ernment. 1t was never asked by Yale:
in fact. was never granted to Yale as
The bill to grant it never passed the
committee stage of~the Peruvian gov-l
ernment. We told President Leguia
of Peru LnaI the exclusive concession
was something that we. did not wish
when he proposed it, but he was in
SiStent that we take it because OF the
excavations that are being made by
treasure hunters and commercial deal
ers in things that are found in the
ancient regions, like vases for instance.
This concession came before the
new congress and the new govern
ment which mad succeeded that Of
President Leguia in September. Pres
ldent Billinghurst and his congress
proved very hostile to our project and
to nearly all that President Leguia
had done and our concc sion never
passed the committee stage.
Great opposition arose in Lima, fos-
tered largely by men who were in the
business OF exporting and buying ar
chaeological things. | Immediately
asked to withdraw from the contract
which had Deen signed and can now
freely say that wo do not propose to
go to Peru in the near future but that
the field is open for those who wish
to go.

ing forced out on our account, never

No More Public Receptions

PRINCETON, n. j., Dec. 2f.-Days
of public receptions in the big east
room of the White House are num-
bered. and in the next administration
people will not be received at the eX
ecutive mansion merely for the pur-
pose of shaking hands or gazing in
curiosity at the president. President
elect Wilson declared that he saw no
use in spending time just to receive
people who had no public business to
transact.
Outside of the needless physical
strain Of receiving hundreds of persons
when the president was endeavOring
to use his energies for more important
purposes, Mr.. Wilson said he did not
believe in incessant receptions to tour
lists and the numerous societies that
come annually to Washington. He also
indicated that he would not attend
many Of the banquets that national
societies Of various kinds held in
Washington. and to which the preS
dent is invited.
"Many Of these societies." he said
represent important objects and | ap-
preciate the possibilities of assisting
government work in speaking before
them, but really do not see any need
Of going to the banquets Of the organ
izations. 1t might be better to address
the business meetings Of the societies" :"
Mr. Wilson said his open door policy
would be observed at the White house
so far as II was physically possible
and that he intended to have the doors
OF the executive offices thrown wide
open so that the president would be
accessible at all times, but only TO
those ''who have business to tran
sact."
Another White House tradition which
Mr.. Wilson probably will alter to some
e..ent is the prohibition on newspaper
m,n OF referring to conversations with
the president in the first person. Mr..
Wilson said he probably would ex-
press himself often and in the first
person in statements issued from time
to time on public questions.
