". C. 7. u. TO WAR
ON WOMEN'S DRESS
Delegates in Convention at AS
bury Park to Plan Coun-
try-Wide Fight.
Especial to The Newark start

ASBURY PARK, Nov. Lit was
announced today at the second days
session of the National w. c. 7. u.
convention that the present confer
ence is the largest ever held in the
history of the organization. Among
the most important questions consid-
cred will be that Of white slavery and
the immodest dress of women. A cru
SADIE will be begun by the w. c. 7. U.
to exterminate these conditions, and
before the convention adjourns a well
defined method of procedure in the
crusade will be planned. Montana
was today awarded the banner for at
tanning the highest number of new
subscriptions to the Union Signal"
an official organ of the association.
Acting Governor Taylor was the
principal speaker last night.
This was the governors first public
appearance since his inauguration
last Tuesday. His speech was a well
come to the delegates who selected
this city as their meeting place. He
highly praised the association for its
humanitarian work
Governor Taylor's speech follows:
New Jersey Is very glad, indeed,
to have the privilege of welcoming
the National Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union and to convey her best
wishes to the delegates here as
sembled for an enjoyable and profit
able convention.
I'VE of New Jersey believe that by
reason of our natural advantages our
State is without q peer for gather
ings such as this. In summer the
great Atlantic gives battle on our be-
half to the sun, protecting US from
its torrid rays, and in winter our
benefactor tempers the cold north
winds. From Sandy Hook to Cape
May we have an almost continuous
chain of resorts, well equipped to give
comfort and hospitality to our guests.
yearly hundreds of assemblies
such as this come to us. some with
objects of lettering only those VINO
are fortunate enough to be members
of the organization, others with the
intent and purpose of benefiting all
mankind, as in the present instance.
1.-THE instinct for betterment is IN
herent in the human breast.
Though the motive of all human
action is selfishness, we may, for
present purposes, divide this inst,rct
into two forms. selfish and unseifish.
With some 1t is only strong enough
to cause the individual to try +o.t ct
ter himself That Is the selfish kind.
With others 1t imparts the desire to
help ali who come with its ken. That
is the unselfish kind Without tho
latter. only such progress would nave
been made as was consequent 70 the
struggle for personal advancement.
With 1t, rapid strides we're and are
being made.

today by Gilbert A. Pevey. master in
the case, who listened for eleven
months to the testimony. Fresno
Dan" says the master, is undoubted-
ly Daniel Blake Russell, long-lost son
of Daniel Russell
Dakota Dan." the rival claimant,
from Dickinson, N. D., is declared to
be James Delbert Russell. He has
neither tho mental. moral, physical
nor intellectual characteristics of the
Russell family, says Mr.. Pevey.
The master calls the courts atten-
ton to the testimony given by two
witnesses for the Dakota claimant,
which. he said, was grossly false.
The report Of the master settles the
case so far as the facts are con-
cerned and any appeal must be based
on questions of law.
The Russell will case has been be-
fore the Massachusetts courts for
four years and has occasioned two
unusually long hearings, first in the
probate court, from the adverse de-
cision of which the North Dakota
claimant appealed, and second, before
Master Pevey. 1t was in the midst
of the probate hearing that the
claimant now declared to be the
rightful joint heir with William C,
Russell, another son OF the merchant,
was discovered at Fresno. Cal. He
was acknowledged by the Russell

Cotton Market

NEW YORK, Nov. Relatively
weak cables and reports that the
South was offering cotton more freely
in Liverpool started a selling move
ment in the local cotton market this
morning. There were lot of over
night buying orders around the ring,
and the opening was steady at adj
vance of to 6, but prices soon eased
off, with active months selling 10 to
II net lower during the early trading.
Private cables said that Liverpool
had been influenced by Southern SELL
ing Southern news was restricted to
some extent by a poor wire service.
but local map readers said they looked
for continued clear weather over Sum
day.
Buying by trade interests helped
the rally to last nights closing fig
ures, but the advance was checked by

morning on private crop estimate of
14,6S0, 900 bales minimum. The close

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.Lower cable
quotations, with bearish state report
from Oklahoma, deprived the wheat
market today of support. Acreage in
Oklahoma was estimated to have in
creased 80 per cent, and 1t was de-
clared the crop was starting with the
best prospect in years. Argentine
advlces, too, favored the selling side.
The opening. which showed dip of
IA to 9s@1a, was followed by an addi-
tional setback.
The market seemed to have no
power to rally. The close was weak,
81 to ss@& under last night.
Free selling on account Of fine
weather made the corn market weak.
Depression at Liverpool counted also
against the bulls. Prices opened 70 to
Y off, rallied little, and then sank
lower than before.
Excellent cash demand helped to
bring about some recovery. Kansas
farmers were reported to be trading
wheat for corn at even figures. The
close. though, was weak at a net
loss OF Il to Nos.
Oats developed heavines5 in conse-
quence of the down turn by other
grain. Offerings, however, were not
extensive.
Provisions were easy, the result or
weakness at the yards.
First sales varied from last nights
level to 8 decline, but the market
afterward seemed disposed to become
more steady.

UNION IN ARMS
OVER LONG DINNER
Effort Made to ignore Mu.
sicians' Local, Their DEL
egate Declares.

Dissatisfaction among members OF
the Musicians Union, Local No. is.
caused by the action of those in
charge of the arrangements for the
testimonial dinner to Chief of Police
Michael T. Long, was expressed at a
meeting of the Essex Trades Council
last night. DR.. Edward Fitzpatrick
and those who had charge of the
music arrangements were criticised
by Carl Springer, president OF the
Musicians Union, who, in making the
report Of his union to the council,
declared that committee had acted In
a way which was unfair to the union.
Delegate Springer explained the en-
tire situation to the council In de-
tail, saying:
The committee in charge of the
dinner did not engage union mu-
sicians until last Monday, when they
We're informed by the PatrolmAn's
Benevolent Association Band and
Orchestra that they would not play
unless union musicians also played
at the affair. When the citizens of
the Eleventh ward decided to tender
a dinner TO Chief OF Police Long they
received a figure of s63 from a union
orchestra to furnish ten men to play
at the dinner. The committee would
not pay 1853, but wanted to pay only
$50 for the music. When the COM
mittee found that It could not OBJ
tain union music at that figure 1t en-
deavored to have the police band
play without union musicians at the
affair.
'The police band however, refused
TO play unless union musicians also
were engaged and the committee
finally got a six-piece orchestra for
$40"
The quarterly election resulted in
the choice OF Henry Hebeler, dele
gate of the Steam and Operating En-
gineers' Union, Local No. 6S. as presi-
dent, and Jacob C. Taylor of the
Cigarmakers' Union, vice president
As the result OF payment of a

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-The suit OF the
United States to dissolve the Inter-
national Harvester Company viii
come on for a hearing in the United
States District Court here before Cir
cult Judges Sanborn, Hook and Smith
next Monday.
In it's petition, which was filed April
30 1912, the government alleges that
the International Harvester Com
pany was organized in 1902 as g.
trust In violation of the Sherman law;
that its purchase of the plants prop
critics and business of the McCor-
mick, Deering, Plano, Warder, Bush

companies, created in that company
monopoly OF the business in bind
ers, movers, rakes and binder Irvine

In its answer, filed August 8, 1912, ad-
mitted the purchase Of the harvester
properties and business of the five
vendor companies, but denied that
the company was organized for any
unlawful purpose or that such pur-
chase gave 1t monopoly in the har-
vester trade

MARKET STEADY
IN CLOSING HOUR.
Traders Reluctant Till Demand
for Call Funds Returned
to Normal Basis.

NEW YORK, Nov. There was
not enough bushes on hand at the
opening today to give the market
semblance of life. Less than seven
thousand shares changed hands in the
first ten minutes. Fluctuations were
slight, with easier tendency. Aside
from a drop of a point in Canadian
Pacific, the only movement of conse-
quence was a break of 3 points in
Mexican Petroleum, which extended
its loss of the last two days to 10
points. The stock sold at 81, new
low record.
IL a. Misrepresentation was so entire
ly perfunctory that a movement In a
particular stock, in no way related
to the course of the general market,
produced an influence on sentiment.
Thus the list, after sagging slightly,
reversed it's trend when supporting
orders rallied Mexican Petroleum four
points to rs.
Closing-The market closed steady.
Business was of an unusually re-
stricted character, even for a Satur-
day session. Traders were reluctant
to take on new lines until the market
for call funds returned to q normal
basis, following yesterdays squeeze.
Bonds were steady.
