States and Austraiasian Steamship
company today stirred the house
committee which is investigating the
shipping trust, with the declaration
that the only way to correct the dis
elimination on the high seas against
American commerce, was through
federal ship subsidy measure.

in the shipping business" he laid,
unless the government takes the
initiative in establishing new com
binations of fast steamers The
ocean mail subsidy established by the
government is not sufficient to Induce
Americans to build ships
Douglas testified that the foreign
shipping combine had the shippers
OF this country at their mercy
Conditions are so bad" he said,
that you are losing 20 per cent of
the export trade of the world that you
would have II congress had put the
American merchant marine on the
basis 1t should have received twenty
years ago.
Douglas testified he believed the
shipping trust was giving secret con-
cessions TO the Harvester, Steel and
on trusts, in fear that they might
invade the ocean with their own
ships.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan. s.---AlthouEh
there was less in the news TO depress
cotton values, the undertone was not
encouraging to holders. Following
early advances of from 7 to / points
advices from abroad were sttmulat-
ing, there having been $4,000 bales
OF spot cotton sold In the Liverpool
market, with futures there higher
than due on buying by trade houses,
Moreover. offerings of actual cotton
to foreigners were not heavy. and
local houses had dispatches TO the
effect that Southern holders were IN
disposed 10 sell freely at the lower
ed basis. For n time there waa con
siderable inquiry from shorts, but
as this was supplied. prices receded,
losing the advances registered al the
outset.
Sentiment was not greatly changed
from ito bearish average. Trade &C

ton, although the more reassuring
reports from Europe as 10 the Bal

There was difference OF opinion

MRS. Al ADAMS SAYS THAT WOMAN

WILL NOT PAY NOTE

NEW YORK. Jan. S.--Mrs Isabella
Y. Adams, the widow of "Al" Adams,
former policy king" came into the
supeme court today to oppose pay
ment OF $4,000 TO Mrs. Marguerite
Gilbert, a former palmist.
Mrs. Adams told the jurors before
Justice Erlza ger, that she had given
Mrs. Gilbel@. whom she met as Ma
dame ne Bran" thousa nds of dollars
for mysterious powders, mystic wa
ter. special advice on the future and
council regarding family matters. For
eight years the former paimist was
the conhdante of the trusting widow.
This was at a time when AL
Adams IS alleged to have been separ-
5yed from his wife and very friendly
with her half-sister, Celia Thatcher.
Mrs. Gilbert asserts that Mrs. Adams
was afraid her husband would make
Mrs. Thatcher his heir. After Adams
died and Mrs. Adams learned that
she and her children were the heirs
she was SO overjoyed. Mrs. Gilbert
Says, that she wrote note for $780,
000 az payment FOR service rendered,
Thought II Rather Large.
When / saw the amount" said
Mrs. Gilbert, Il told her I though 1t
was too much for my services and
she told me she didn't think 1t was
enough. She said she would give me
more II she could"
1t Is this note that Mrs. Adams
has refused to pay. She declares
that Mrs. Gilbert falsely represented
that she mad mysterious powers
to forestall disaster TO the Adam&
family and that she deEuded Mrs.
Adams into believing such things. She
said Mrs. Gilbert told wonderful
stories OF e. fortune teller named
Hega.
She said HeEa was wonderful
woman" testified Mrs. Adams and
that she could cure my husband OF
Diabetes. She said she often stayed
up all night to help Hega boil the pot
and read the fates. She said Hega
was going 10 leave her this gift after
her death. She said that TO get her bs
TIega's son would have to go to a
certain island in the West Indies.
don't remember whether this was the
time / gave her the $1,000. But
did give her $500 and 230o at the
time, She said $50 was nothing.
Powders and Water.
Mrs Adams told OF receiving pow
ders and water from Mira Gilbert to
sprinkle around the house and in
the mines at Mexico 80 that everything
would be successful"
Mrs Gilbert denied that she had
ever given medicines or powders. She
related in detail the services she per-
formed for Mrs. Adams,
The trial will be continued tomor-
row.
