FUTURE CONTRACTS LEGAL
New York Cotton Brokers Win Suit
for $4,000.


New Orleans.-The United States
court of appeals at New Orleans hand
ed down a decision in the case of Ha-
ven & Clement, brokers on the New
York cotton exchange, against d. w.
James of Blakely, Ga.
This suit was brought by the. New
York brokers in the United States dis
trict court at Columbus, Ca, some ten
years ago, and has ever since been
stubbornly litigated through the vari-
Gus United States courts, reaching,
finally. the circuit court Of appeals in
New Orleans.
The opinion is Of general interest for
the reason that it sustains, in effect.
the validity of the New York cotton
exchange contract system. The plain
tiffs obtained a verdict for $4,000 in
the court below, which was. taken up
to the higher court for reversal by the
defendant Mr. James, on the PROPOSE
ton chiefly that it was a New York
futures deal transaction, and there
fore void. The decision in favor of
the plaintiff therefore in effect sustains
the validity of the future contract sys-
tenn of the New York cotton ex-
change.

MARITIME TRADE is NEEDED BY

New York.-SecTetary of Commerce

States to regain its maritime trade.
THE success of American-owned
vessels on the Great Lakes has been

more vessels pass through the river

In all that has been said about the
Panama canal, one great factor has
it possible for vessels to make profit

world. In other words, precisely as a

at a special profit, so vessels that may
circumnavigate the globe, loading and
reloading, may find special profits in
the process.
The carrying of our exports had
provided golden harvests for the for

to ocean transport the same American
ideas in specialized ships which have
been such a brilliant success on the
Great Lakes, there is little doubt of
our doing as well on the sea

NUMBER OF PEOPLE KILLED
MANY LIVES ARE LOST IN CLUB
HOUSE FIRE AT ST. LOUIS,
MISSOURI.
Seven Bodies Recovered-other Vic
Tins Still Buried in Ruins
of Building.

st. Louis.-That from thirty to
thirty-fve guests of the Missouri Ath-
letic club persisted in the flames that
destroyed the building is the belief OF
officers of the club.
Seven bodies have been recovered
and from twenty-three to twenty-nine
occupants of the structure are still I'M
accounted for. At shutdown firemen
continued the search for bodies in the
smouldering ruins under the glare of
searchlights.
Though a committee early opened
headquarters at the Press club and
asked all who were guests of the
Missouri Athletic club to report, thir-
ty to thirty-fve did not register and
hourly the feeling grew that all these
were lost.
Hope was given by Fire Chief Swim
gley that water would be pumped out
of the ruins in one night and that
search for bodies might then be re-
sumed.
The cause of the fire was a mys-
terry. Reports that the blaze was &C
companied by a terrific explosion in
dicating that the fire was due to ef-
forts of bank robbers to dynamite the
Boatmen's bank were unconfirmed. Re
ports of explosions we're denied by

TROOPS ORDERED
TO MEXIC BORDER
TROOPS WILL RELIEVE CAVALRY
ATEL PAso AND AT
LAREDO.
SOLDIERS TO LEAVE AT ONCE
Seventeenth Infantry at Fort MePher-
son and Ninth Infantry Ordered
in Readiness.

Washington. Two regiments Of in
fantry were ordered by the war de-
partment to the Mexican border. The
seventeenth, now stationed at Fort Nc
Phersor at Atlanta, and the ninth, sta
toned at Fort Logan H. Root, Arkan-
sas, wiz go to FL Paso and Laredo,
and relieve the cavalry now there.
Col. John T. Van Orsdale is eligi-
BILE for retirement and his successor
has not yet been named.
Lieut.. Col Henry ID. Styer will be
temporarily in command of the regi-
ment. Colonel Van Orsdale's number
will fall to Col. George w. Mclver,
now stationed at Manila, p. /.
The explanations given for the trans
fer of the seventeenth and ninth regi-
ments to the Mexican border are said
to be these:
To prevent Mexican marauders from
crossing over into Texas; to prevent
Texans crossing over into Mexico; to
repay Senator Morris Sheppard of
Texas for his support of the Wilson
administration in opposition to Gov
ernor Colquitt.
Senator Sheppard wanted the addi-
tional troops sent to patrol the Dor
der. Since the dash of the Texas
rangers across the international Dor
der to recover the body of Clemente
Vergara, the American ranchman,
there has been uneasiness in sdmin-
istration circles Serious conse-
quences might follow dash by Texas
into Mexico or Mexicans into Texas.
Secretary Garrison issued this state
ment:
ITO allay as far as possible the
fears of the people on the border, the
