SECOND WEEK OF
 EGG LAYING CONTEST.
Birds In Competition to be Judged as
 if on Exhibition.

An entirely new feature has just been announced for the laying contest at Storrs. A great deal has been sad and written about the possibilities q breeding hens for eggs and yet have these same birds make fairly credit able record in the show room. Many breeders have maintained that tEe show bird is not a producer and per haps equally as many have said that she was. In order to get some actuall J definite data on this point, the man ageInent of the contest at Stoors have engaged A1r. W. H. Card of Manches . ter, Conn., to judge the birds in tEe competition the same as if they were on exhibition at Madison Square Gar den. Mir. Card is not only well known throughout New England, but enjoys a national reputation as poultry judge. He is employed regularly at eXhibi- tions such as are held at Buffalo, Pitts burgh, Boston, the Palace Show, New York State Fair, Brockton Fair, and many other shows throughout tl.e country. This new feature will be pushed as rapidly as possible and q score card on each individual hen sent to her owner so that the breeder at home may know exactly how his birCS stand from the show room point of view in addition to securing their egg records as made in the laying contest.

TEXAS RAINS HELP BULLS IN MARKET Increasing Long Interest Weakens Position of
 Bears

New Orleans, May 31.--The continued
 rains in Texas, the drouth in portions of the eastern belt and general belief in bullish conditions report were the
 main bullish influences in the cotton
 market Against tthe market was the
 increasing long interest which bears maintained seriously weakened the technical position. tA This week the market will receive
 during the opening session the first condition report of the season, carry ing the crop down to May 25 Conser- vative brokers look for around 7S points of the normal; most bulls look for rather lower figures. while bear ish estimates are around 80, Probably 1t will take a report of under IS to cause much of an advance.
 More rains in the western belt and continued dry weather in the Atlantics would cause renewed buying this week because of the crop damage that would result Any change for the better in the weather probably would be the signal for heavy selling for both ac- counts.

4O,OOO,OOO IN 1913. STOLEN IN DEFAULTS.
Meagre Salaries and High Living Said to be Chief
 Underlying Causes

New York May s1.-(Special)-Def tions amounting to approximately s4o.eoo.- eeo were publicly reported in the United States in 1913, according to estimates re gently obtained by the National Surety company and yesterday made public by William B. Joyce, president.
 unreported and undiscovered defalca- l tions, though impossible to compute ac- eurately, may be conservatively estimated at sIO,00o,00o
 | The company seeks to call attention to the widespread nature of the dedication evil. Meager salaries are unquestionably one Of the chief causes. Clerks managers and cashiers who have tried unsuccess-
 fully to support large families on from $I5 to sioo Der month. form a large part of the defalters Another important cause of defalcation has been the prevailing
 business depression. Many victimized em- poyers who, in times of prosperity, might
 have concealed their employers defalca- tion for business or humane reasons have
 been obliged to realize on the defaulting
 employees bond because times were hard
 and thus an unusual number of defalca-
 tions have this year been made public | That carelessness by employers and pub lie officials in "checking upr the accounts | of trusted employees has been another leading cause of last years defalcations Is clearly shown by the National Surety company's records. A bank cashier, for example, was recently found to have stolen s10,000 in small amounts, undiscov- cred during 10 years, although his books had been periodically inspected by gov i ernment examiner Whenever a patron bought an exchange on a bank in an- other city this bank cashier would record a smaller amount on his books and pocket the difference. If the bank examiner had during this long period taken the trouble to write to the correspondent bank to | cerify the cashiers reconcilment state- ment, this dedication would have been npped fin the beginning.
 Fxtrava gant home life has caused some remarkable defalcations ini1913. The wife l of a western railroad agent stole Sl600 | from her husbands cash drawer in the railroad station recently to spend on fast | living and tinery. The husband was at first suspected and threatened with permanent disgrace and prison term. When the true facts came out, sympathy for this un- fortunate man was general that the railroad refused to exact his bond CT prosecute. The bonding company helped him get legal separation from his dis honest wife and the merchants of the town stafted him in business so ke could support his innocent children.
