MANY CONDITIONS
AFFECT MARKET
Situation As to Cotton For
The Week

New York February 24.-The cotton
market will grow to be a more of a
weather affair this week and the
weather map will have an increasing
effect on prices. This is to be expect
ed with the planting season, or at
least the beginning of it, only few
weeks off.
Warm and dry weather will have
An unfavorable effect on values In the
contract market as such conditions
will mean that farm work may be
rushed. Cold and wet weather will
have a bullish influence as they will
mean delay.
Hardly second in Importance to the
weather will be the spot situation
Strong developments in this direction
might even rank higher in Importance
than weather changes. Bears expect
TO see more or less weakness among
spot holders as the planting season
draws near. while on the other hand,
the bulls are confident that the remn-
ants of the crop are firmly held and
will be marketed to the best advant-
age. Any increase in spot offerir@;s
will quickly affect futures, while con-
tinued strength in the market for
actual cotton will hamper the opera
lions of the bear side.
A feature of no small intrest will be
/ the ending of the final period in the
census bureau reports on ginning of
this last season. The last report,
which will be issued March 20, will
carry the crop down to February %,
which is next Friday.
This report will count the crop
grown, including linters, and will be
accepted by the trades as the best alb
tainable information on actual growth.

FIREBUGS TELL
STORIES ABOUT
ARSON TRUST
EXPOSE A REMARKABLE One
Details Of Many Crimes Are
Given

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Systematized eff
forts employed by members of the al
legged larson trust" were disclosed to-
day by witnesses examined by AS
sistant States Attorney Johnston. They
explained to him that in arson circles
incendiary fires are placed in two
classes blow outs" and flashes.
A blow out" is fire which de-
stroys both the building and its con-
tents. A flash" only burns the con-
tents.
The witness asserted that the fire
bugs" could regulate fires by means
of the distribution of gasoline. When
blow out" was desired gasoline in
large cans were placed throughout the
building in order to cause an ex-
plosion.
When a request to burn the con-
tents of a building was made, basoline
would be sprinkled over the stock.
I'm some cases the insured did not
want the building burned, because
they did not have them heavily in
sured" Prosecutor Johnston said in
explaining the evidence given by the
witness. At these times the insured
would tell the fire-bugs to burn only
the stock, because that was insured
for more than its real value"
A house fire insurance adjuster,
who was among those questioned, de-
clared he could tell by the results of
fire the identity of the fire bugs
who were responsible for it.
Some fire bugs" it was explained,
were more efficient than others"

PRESIDENT T1UERTA MAKES
AN OFFICIAL STA TEMENT
He Tells of Plans That He Has Made for Prosecution of
Those Responsible for the Shooting
Guards Arrested

Mexico City, Feb. 24.-The follow
ing official statement of President
Huerta was given out at the palace
yesterday.
Il called together the cabinet to re-
port that Madero and Pine Suaren,
who had been detained at the palace,
at the disposition of the war depart
ment, were taken to the penitentiary
in accordance with a previous decis,
ion as a result of which that estab .
lishment was placed yesterday after
noon under the charge of an army Of
ticer for its better security.
When the automobiles had tray
ersed about two-thirds of the way TO
the pen, however, they were attacked
by an armed group, and the escort
descended from the machine to offer
resistance Suddenly the group grew
larger and the prisoners tried to es-
cape.
An exchange OF shots then took
place, in which two of the attacking
party were killed and two wounded.
Eoth prisoners were killed. The auto
mobiles were badly damaged
"The president and his cabinet have
resolved that the affair shall be con-
signed to the military judicial author
tiles having to do with the attempts
against military prisoners, such as
were Madero and Suarez, so that they
may make a strict investigation with
the direct Intervention of the military
prosecutor general.
"The minister of justice has asked
that when these Investigations are
over-the case being of so exceptional
a character-that the prosecutors
general of the republic make fur
Their investigation.
"The government deplores the event
and, wishing to attend to the necessi-
ties of the public welfare, had asked
the minister of justice to formulate y
plan of legal action against the pris-
oners for their several responsibilities
at the same time making an effort to
have some of the friends of Madero
assist in the solution of the difficult
and dangerous question.
FILLED with the desire to guaran-
tee itself as we'll as the prisoners, the
government has appointed Col. LUIS
Vollestores, director of the peniten-
tiary and had given him strict instruc-
tions to provide for any contingency.
"The government promises that So
ciety shall be fully satisfied as to the
facts in the case. The commanders OF

enumeration. In addition to this, there
were 6,527 under years of age and
1877 over 20 years of age, who also
attended school Up to the age of i
years the figures show that the school
attendance is much the same in the
rural ard city districts. Between Il
and 20 years, however, the percent
age attending school in the country is
greater than in the cities.
There are 2S,96S persons in Kansas

is 8 per cent among native whites
1915 per cent, among foreign born
whites and 10 per cent among ne
groes. The percentage of illiteracy is
shown to re higher in the city than the
rural districts, the comparative per-
centages being "a in the cities to 81 in
the country. The percentage of il
literacy of persons between 10 and
20 years of age, whose literacy de-
ponds very largely upon present
school facilities, is very low. being
only 6, and showing big gain in
wiping out illiteracy in Kansas.
The tendency of females to mary
young is also shown in the report. AL
so the fact that much larger Pc
cent. of the women are married than
the men is shown. due partly to the
fact that there is a big excess of male
population. According to the figures,
SOS per cent. of the males and 637
per cent. of the females over Is years
of age are married. A total of As
per cent. of the males and 81 PEI
cent of the females are widowed, anil
the percentages of those divorced are
shown to be and Z per cent, re-
spectiyely. The latter figures are
deemed inaccurate, however, inasmucl
as the bureau believes many divorced
persons class themselves as single or
widowed.
II is shown that II per cent. Of
the females between Is and 10 years
of age are married. Only 8 per cent.
of the males between thes ages are
married. Between 20 and "a years,
528 per cent. of the females and only
22.7 per cent. of the males are mar
ried. Between the ages of rs and 81
the gain in married males is shown
showing that the average husband is
at least several years older than his
wife. The percentage of married men
in the city districts is higher than in
the country, while the reverse is true

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 22.-That there
is a man for every woman in Kansas
is shown by statistics issued by the

reverse. according to the figures, is
not true. According to the report OF
tie bureau, there are ITO males in
Kansas for every 100 females, the ra-

The bulletin recently issued gives
interesting information regarding the

Rice is the dean of the visiting tennis

close to the two-score mark, but he

Rice believes that the short trousers
give freer limb action than do the
long flame ones used by players in

free to admit that he considers his
apparel an offering to the gods Of
luck who decide SO many tennis en-.
