Athens, Greece. March 81 So The
Turkish fortress of Janina, key to
the possession OF the province Of
men, surrendered to the Greek army
Thursday. after a defense which
forms one OF the most brilliant epi-
sodes of the Balkan war The sur

for two days and two nights.
Not fewer than 10000 shells were
fred by the Greek guns during the
first days cannonade. Gradually the
Turkish batteries of Bizani, Manoliara,
Sakni and elsewhere were silenced

the Turks to believe that their attack
would be made from the right. As

had been distracted the Greeks hurled
large bodies of infantry against the
Turkish left. The Ottoman troops, ut
terly surprised, fell back in disorder,
The batteries on the heights of BIZ
zani, the mainstay of the defense, had
been unable to stand the pelting of
the shells and were reduced to silence
at eleven o'clock in the morning. The
Greeks pushed their forward moye-
ment during the afternoon and occu-
pied the Turkish batteries on the SAX
nj and Elias hills, capturing all the
guns and 10 artillerymen. Then the
Greek battalions gradually deployed
onto the plain in front Of the city it
self.

NEW CROP WILL
INFLUENCE COTTON
Situation to Have Important
Bearing on the Market
This Week

New Orleans, La, March 9.-The main
influence in the cotton market this week
will be new crop preparations. although
great deal of interest will be taken in
the pending final report on ginning by
the census bureau and opinion regarding
the final figures will crystalize.
As the country understands the new
crop situation. the cotton belt now needs
generally dry weather, with occasional
showers. The soil is in good condition.
but needs a little top moisture to allow
plowing to go ahead Too much rain
would of course be unfavorable and il
too long continued, would probably cause
considerable short covering and buying
for long account From the reports that
have been coming from the belt of late.
too dry weather would lead to much
complaint and droughy conditions too
long continued would cause fear that
seed would be slow in terminating. This
week planting will extend considerably
in the earlier sections of the belt and
many cotton farmers will begin planting
their corn Bears expect to get reports
that will confirm their opinion that the
acreage and the general use of fertil-
izers will be materially increasea this
SEASON. Anything that will tend to over
turn this idea will give the short side a
setback
The export movement and mill takings,
both of which have been small of late.
will be closely watched this week and
any improvements of substantial ma
ture in either will be of assistance to
the bull side, as would any Improvement
in the spot demand. March generally Is
a busy spot and export month, but bears
predict that it will be continually dull
this year. A good line on March spot
will be obtained during the
next few days. owing to the maturing
of middle OF the month obligations and
developments In this direction may have
an influence on both the spot and future
markets.
The future market will be more of a
weather market this week, barring the
influence of private estimates of the total
amount of cotton ginned this last Sea-
SON.

Justice Swift in Old DAYS

From the New York Herald.
Punfshments for offenses committed
at sea in the olden times make the
present day penalties for violations of
law on land and sea seem mild by COM
parison. When a murder occurs on
board ship now the murderer Is arrest
ed and later taken ashore and tried for
the crime. but in the days of Richard
of England that law provided that
whose kill any person on shipboard
should be tied with him that was slain
and thrown into the sea. And If he
killed him on land, he should In like
manner be tied with tho party slain
and be buried with him In the earth"
Mutiny was discouraged in Eliza
beth's time by hanging the offenders
by their heels "until their brains were
beaten out against the ships sides,
while men caught stealing on board
ship were ducked three times, towed
bread and can of beer. Sleeping ON
each offense being treated more severe
ly than the previous one
A bucket of water flush In the face
was the punishment for the first Of
fense; a second offense carried with 1t
the pleasure of being hung up by the
wrists and having water poured into
the sleeves; the third time the offender
would be loaded with weights and
bound to the mast and "the fourth
time he was to be hanged to a bait
stripe with can of beere and
biscette of braede and a sharp knife,
and so to hang and choose whether he
would cutie himself down and fall into
the sea or hang still and starve."

Since leaving college he has been a
school teacher, a druggist, drug sales
man for the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
company, and a real estate operator. Six
years ago he decided to settle in Bir-
mingham, where his first venture was
real estate. Insurance came next, as a
matter of course. and soon insurance
came first, as 1t has habit of doing.
About three years ago Buster Brown,
having now acquired some insurance ex-
perience, felt the need of a first class
casualty company. so he bought a new
suit of clothes, a new umbrella. and
started north. He came back home with
the Maryland agency.
[ He is said to be a great fellow for
these sudden trips, and his friends al
ways know what is about TO happen
when he buys a new umbrella. Perhaps
the most remarkable outbreak of this
wanderlust was that journey which re-
suited, after an absence of two weeks,

with another new umbrella. frock coat,
a high hat, and a college diploma. If
you have any doubt about it, ask him,
and he'll show you the diploma.
And he is said to be much more of a
hustler than the placid photographer tn-
dicates. Auditor Ives Barton, who told
us most of what we know about Buster
Brown, says he is a cross between a hot
tamale and a bowling tempest when he
goes after business. and yet he has the
lxnaok of forgetting all that after hours.
In fact, our auditor hints that he and
