ICE IS NOW NO LONGER
OBSTRUCTION IN RIVER
Heavy in Tributaries of Potomac,
However, and Some Vessels Are
Held Prisoners.

Ice no longer offers much obstruc-
ton to navigation on the river.
though it remains heavy enough on
some of the tributaries of the Poto-
mac to hold prisoners all vessels
caught in the waterway by the recent
freeze. Schooners which in the past
day or two unloaded railroad ties and
paper making woods at Alexandria are
returning to down-river ports under
their own power and the transfer of
oyster "ells by lighters from this city
to the crushing plant at Alexandria
has been resumed after a tie-up of five
days. One of the big 1ign.ers used in
this work was the victim of the ice,
having been sunk when a big field
that came out of Four Mile run drift
ed into Alexandria and cut her so bad
ly that she filled and went to .ne bot
tom. fortunately. however, in shoal
water.
Another accident due to ice was the
sinking of the Clark holster Boo-Hoo
in Occoquan creek. AS the tug Capt.
Toby was endeavoring to get her out
of that waterway Monday evening to
bring her laden with railroad ties, to
this city she was cut through by the
ice and had to be showed ashore near
Woodbridge. The tug with a lighter
laden with ties and a raft of piling
came through the ice and came to this

One-Eighth Indian.
Mr. Parker is one-eighth Indian. His
mother was one-quarter ChoctaW. His
father, a kentuckian. owned a ranch in
Indian territory, near Fort Towsen,
now in southeast Oklahoma, where
Gabe L. Parker was born September
29, 1873, thirty-six years ago. He has
one brother and two sisters.
The country schoolhouse, an Indian
school for the children of the ChoctaW
nation, provided him with the rudi-
ments of his education. Later he went
to Spencer Academy, also an Indian
Institution of learning. He obtained
his degree as Il bachelor of science from
Henry Kendall College Two things
stand out in his memory of college
days: then he met his wife, who was a
fellow student. and he closed his
course as valedictorian of his class,
graduating with the highest honors in
1899.
The death of his mother diverted him
from the study of law, and he returned
as an assistant teacher to Spencer
Academy after his graduation. and in
three months was made principal
teacher. After year of teaching
there, in 1900 he was transferred as
principal to Armstrong Academy, an
other indian institution, and in 1904

be made to send out the lighters until
the heavy ice, now covering Occoquan
creek, disappears. While the rivermen
are of the opinion that the freeze is
over for a time, they say the water is
very cold and but little below freezing
temperature is required to make ice
hard enough to stop movements of sail

COTTON s COURSE
ON UPWARD PATH
Liverpool and Spot Houses Con-
spicuous Among Buyers and
Shorts Were Nervous.

NEW YORK. March 1.-THE cotton
market opened the week with prices at
the highest levels for the present move
ment. Liverpool was a little better
than due, with spot sales of 5000 bales.
The strong foreign market, together
with active and healthy trading at the
opening to-day, resulted in the list
showing a net advance Of B to Z points
from Saturdays final. There was more
outside business than at any other time
in long period, and this, too, helped
the movement along. Liverpool cables
reported that continental houses were
buying there.
After the call the market established
new high levels, through considerable
short covering. The larger spot inter
ests and Liverpool brokers were the
principal buyers. there being little cot
ton for sale March rallied s points to
t2.T4, while May touched 12l5 for net
gain of points over the opening July
came within ! point of reaching the IL
cent level. At these levels a good bit of
liquidation was encountered and also
some selling for areaGtiOn. This de
pressed the list 2 to Z points from the
high levels There was a good deal Of
talk around the rim gthat a reaction
was due. The ring argued that after
advancing go to 20 points within a week
or so on short covering the market must
be technically weaker. However, it is
hold firm until after the supply and dis
tribution figures, which will be posted
tomorrow. These figures are expected
to be bullish.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices showing irregularlty, being
up to points lower than the final
quotations OF Saturday.
Straddle brokers we're the principal
buyers during the late forenoon They
seem very much uneasy over the local
situation. Prices. however, held firm,
with March around 1853 and May II, II.
Wall street and commission houses sold
moderately. but these contracts were
readily absorbed. The trade seems to
be waiting on the final Census ginners
