quarter of the globe, tke glorious moth- crIood of the world?
 In Birmingham there convened yester- day the first congress of mothers held in this state since the organization of the Alabama branch of the national congress. Many of the most influential. many of the hrainiest and many of the most prom inent women in the state are numbered in the membership of the state congress- among them being the nonored presiden- Mrs. w. Jerome Chambers of Mont gcmery.
 Mrs. Chambers is a woman of distn- guished bearing and widespread populari- ty and in her home town her utilization with music art and civic improvements makes her an important figure in club work, where her influence is felt and appreciated in every branch. Mrs. Chambers is related to the famous rovelst, Robert w. Chambers, her hus- band being his first cousin. In talking with Mrs. Chambers yester day concerning the congress of mothers, which is meeting here. she said: "The Congress of Mothers is young or- garization in comparison with many oth CTS, being only about 17 years old. The Alabama branch was organized some two years ago, and far we number about 20 clubs in the state work. Birmingham leading with about F clubs"
 Just what is the object of the Congress of Mothers?" l asked.
 Tn the literature sent out by the na- tional congress. the outline is given very concsely and clearly as to the aims and purposes of the congress-" said Mrs. Chambers. Tt is the intention of the work of the congress to carry the mother love and mother thought into all that con- cerns or touches childhood in home, school, church or state: to raise the stand- ards of home life; to develop wiser better trained parenthood; to bring into closer relation the home and the school that parent and teacher may cooperate intel ligently in the education of the child, us- ing systematic, earnest effort to this end through the formation of mothers clubs and parent-teacher associations in nection with public schools and elsewhere.
 ''To promote the establishment of kin dergartens and of laws which will ade- quately care for neglected and dependent children: to secure such legislation as will insure that children of tender years may not be tried in ordinary court, but that each town shall establish a juvenile court and special officers whose duty 1t shall be to so care for the child that he shall be rescued from rather than confirmed in, evil ways.

KING TO ASCEND THRONE

BERLIN, March 90 1914.


Europe has found amusement in the
financial embarrassment of Prince Will
liam of Nie4. who was forced to arrange
all the prelinlinaries of his ascent to the
throne of Albania on credit.
Not until the last moment before his
departure from Berlin did the young
monarch-elect succeed in getting any of
the s1ooo.C00 loan. which had been ar
ranged by the powers. The result was
that he was unable to meet the bill of
500 for moving his personal effects and
furniture to the palace at Durazzo The
shipment was intrusted to the German
agent of the Austrian state railways, who
finally obtained orders from Vienna to
send the bills for transportation to the
Austrian foreign Office.
Austria also paid the railway fares and
hotel bills of the new monarch on his
round of state visits to the capitals of
Europe and furnished the steamer to take
him to Durazzo The gorgeous uniform
which the prince designed for his state
entry was turned out by the Austrian
court tailor. and the Albanian notables,

Porter Charlton, the young American

the charge of murder.
sympathy for the accused youth has
been demonstrated frequently during his

extradition from the United States last
August. While Carlton has been study

While the case is new in the sense that
1t is the first time an American citizen

1t does not differ greatly from the So

Studying the terrible drama We have
become convinced and will demonstrate"
say Charitons lawyers in a sketch of
the theories they will pursue that an
obscure and inevitable fatality presides
over these awful crimes, which go from
love to death, from the idyll to tragedy,
by which human life is suddenly cut
short by the hand of a creature who
loved, and who still passonately loves,
and who after the crime remains terri
fed. weakened and stunned by what he
has done, incapable of believing that the
blood was shed by him.
Charlton of weak character mex

COTTON MARKET
RATHER NERVOUS
Troubles in Retail Trade
Circles Seem to Revive 3
Uneasiness
By HOP

New York, January 9.-The somewhat
mere optimistic tone which developed in
the cotton market just before Christmas
has been followed by renewed nervous
ness during the past week, and prices at
the close Of business today were within
few points of recent low records.
Troubles reported in retail trade cir
cies, although as plausibly explained on
the ground of special as we'll as of gem
eral causes, seemed to revive uneasiness
regarding the business outlook while the
circulation of January l notices, esti-
mated at about $1,000 bales, was accom-
panied by sufficient scattering liquida-
tor to add to the unsettled feeling IN
the market.
Toward the end of the week, moreover,
there were rumors that private ginning
returns indicated less pronounced falling
off for the last half of December than
bullishly disposed traders had antici-
pated, and predictions IF still lower prices
We're numerous enough around the ring
to suggest that the events of the week
had strengthened bearish sentiment
Much confusion of opinion is still ex-
pressed, however, both as to the ex-
tent of remaining supplies and as to the
pl oteble volume Of spinners takings for
the balance of the season. Some antici-
pate that the next report of the census
bureau, due on January ., giving the
amount of cotton ginned for the last half
of December, will bring crop views nearer
together, and consequently prove a factor
of considerable Importance. But there
are others who think that still later re-
ports will be required to definitely settle
the crop question, and in some quarters
/. is argued that the future of the mar
ket now hinges more largely upon the
state of trade than upon the exact size of
the old crop remnant a.
SO far this season spinhers' taxings
have been on very active scale but for
some time past it has been quite gem
orally claimed that the mills We're buying
only from hand to mouth, and local bears
contend that the textile trade must soon
el or later show the effects of influences
which have led to depression in many
other industries. Southern spot markets
have remained relatively steady during
the week, and Liverpool also has shown
comparative firmness partly perhaps as
result of buying there against sales of
srring and summer months in the local
market.
