GOO, ,000 cotton fund already has been raised and the remainder is assured
 About the onnIy obstacle to the suc- cessful raising of the rest of the fund is the fear entertained by some bank CTS that the fund may be held to have been raised in violation of the Sher- man antitrust law.
 This was characterized tonight by MT. McAdoo as pure buncombe." It is known, however. that the matter has proved sufficiently serious to bring about a request from the federal re- serve board or other authorities for an opinion from Attorney General Gregory as to its legality.
 Distrust of the 1awfulneSs of the plan has come largely from New Eng land. Bankers and others there are said to be chary of it because of the recent indictments of former directors of the New Haven road. They have pointed, too, to the acquisition of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company years ago by the United States Steel corporation, a. transaction sanctioned by the authorities here, but held sub sequently by others to have been in violation of the Sherman act.

 In line with this general improve ment, it was also learned that the stock exchange authorities will with in a short time order the removal of certain restrictions which have oper ated against the purchase and sale of high class securities. It is not inn piled. however, that anything like reg ular operations will be permitted.

GERMANY RECOMMENDS
 PROTECTION OF JEWS
Has Twice Sent Notes to Turkish Gov.
 ernment to That Effect.

New York. Nov: G.-The safety of Jews in Turkey has twice been the subject of representations made to the porte by Germany, according to a statement given out here tonight by Count Won Bernstorff, German ambas- sador to the United States. The state ment read:
 some time ago the German imperial government warmly recommended to Turkey the protection of Jews of whatever nationality. Recently, prior to the outbreak of the war this recom- mendation was renewed.
 Tt had been feared that the nu- merous Jews in Turkey would, in case of war, be endangered, not only on ac- count of their religion, but also for the non Turkish nationality. Many Jews who have resided in Turkey for years are not, up to this day, Ottoman cit.- zenS.
 Tt is. therefore. reassuring to learn that, Germany has warmly recommend ed to Turkey the protection of all Jews, irrespective of nationality

coNTRABAND PASSING
 THROUGH ITALIAN PORTS.
Inform ation is in Possession of British
 Government.

London, Nov (, $40 p. m.-Informa- ton Is in the possession of the British government, it is said, which proves concIusively that very large shipments of copper, rubber and other commod- ities are passing through Italian ports on their way to Germany.
 In New York larg epurchases Of copper are being made by representa- tives of houses in Rotterdam, Amster- dam and Copenhagen who, it is stated, are working on German account. Di- rections at the same time are given that these consignments of copper are to be shipped through Italian ports to the order of various financial institu- tions which are said to be controlled largely by German capital American copper refners appear to be capable of protecting their own interests, since they usually insist upon payrRent in cash before they allow the copper to be shipped.
 The British government is deter mined that it will use every legitimate te means to prevent copper reaching Germany, where it is being made into ammunition for use against the Brit ish forces. Great Britain, therefore, is diverting various steamers which are carrying copper to Italy to Gibraltar where the copper is discharged. The steamers are promptly released
 Some of this copper actually -l1as tbeen found packed m cases marked fOl Danzig. Other lots are shipments made upon orders through German houses ir Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Some oi these houses are said to be connected with the Krupps, manufacturers fbig guns.
 Since October, 20 vessels bound iron New York for Italy, having on board total of 7.C00 tons of copper. have beer diverted to Gibraltar, and the British government is informed that som, thousands of tons additional are nov en route to Italy

False fire, alarms are all too ire quent in Westerly anG are gradually becoming epidemic, challenging the ef- forts of Chief Engineer Cottren and : Chief of Police Brown to end the crim- , inal tonfoofery. The latest was sent in from Box 6S. and the Cycle auto wagon responded promptly and I quick run to the box only showed that the alarm had been sent in. but no Justification for the alarm could be found in the neighborhood. Since the addition of two n1otor-driVen appar- atus to the department, four months ago there have been more calls than were the average of past years and many more false alarms in propor- : ton.
 But very little wind is required to raise the granite dust in Dixon square as that material is constantly used as ! a, ton dressing for that section of the ] highways It has long since been dem- onstrated that granite dust is unsult- bIe in connection with highway con- str1tction and repairs, but the high way committee persists in its use per hapS for the reason that 1t is local product. regardless of its worth for that purpose. As a, result the dust nuisance prevails in the square on every windy occasion.

 Rhode Island skunk hunters who have made it a profitable business to capture the animals for their belts during the fall months, are not doing much skunk hunting as the demand has fallen off and the prevailing price hardly compensates for the hunting, skinning and shipping of the pelt. Most of the skins were shipped to England, Germany and France. where they were sold as Alaska sable. but the market abroad no longer exists by reason of the war, or perhaps the tariff The present market value is fnIt S1 for 8 number one skin, as compared with a value of from $3-5G 10 $4 last season. The skunk pelt furnishes the bulk of this Country's export fur trade.
