 Following is the text of the resolu- ton presented and adopted at the meeting or regents, delegates and all ternates. held at Watertown on We'd neSday in preparation for the annual Continental Congress of the D. A. R. to be held in Washington next month ::
 Whereas. It has ever been and still IS the opinion of the Connecticut D. A. R. that 1t is unwise for them as an organization to enter upon or take sides in any controversial subject upon which their members might be divided. such as ujestions of politics and religion. woman suffrage total ab- stinenCe and kindred subjects, which if admitted to discussion and action might tend to disrupt the organization and which are. moreover, entirely out side of it's aims. objects and activities as & patriotic society: and
 Whereas, It seems advisable at this time to place these opinions upon rec ord; therefore.
 Resolved. That we, the Connecticut D. A. R. assembled at our annual business meeting of regents and dele gates, do declare it to be our policy to maintain an attitude of strict neu- trality as an organization upon all questions of politics, religion, woman suffrage, total abstinence. upon all questions outside of our province in volving controversy it being con ceded that members as private indi- vidauals are free to do as they please; ; and
 Resolved. That we most heartily in dorse the words of our president gen eral expressing the above sentiments in a recent address at New Britain, and that we support her in any effort she may make to keep these subjects out of the deliberations of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution; and, further,
 Resolved. That these resolutions be circulated in the public press, and that copies be sent to the president general ment.

Cotton Exchanges
To Be Investigated
With Grain Dealers

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Inves-
tigation Of the grain and cotton ex-
changes of the country by Congress
was foreshadowed to-day when the
House Rules Committee authorized
the appointment of subcommittee to
consider the drafting of a joint reso-
luton providing for such an investi-
cation by q joint Senate and House
committee.
Southern men insisted that the de-
mand in their States for relief from
cotton exchange Irregularities be
taken up at the same time with the
grain probe.
Representatives Henry. Of Texas:
Hardwick, of Georgia, and Cantrill, of
Kentucky, Democrats; Linroot, of
Wisconsin, Republican, and Kelly, of
Pennsylvania, Progressive, were
named as the subcommittee.
Gambling in food products Is one
OF the biggest questions before Con-
gress and the country to-day" de-
clared Chairman Henry. THE COM
mittee believes the Baltimore plat

LOBBYIST TELLS
SENATE PROBE
Of HIS FEES
Admits Receiving Numerous Fat
Retainers for Representing
Big Firms at Capital.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-That
he received a thousand dollar fee
from the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company of Quincy, Mass, for his
efforts in 1912 to have inserted in thS
Panama Canal act a provision eX-
empting American coastwise ships
from the payment of tolls was the
testimony of Clarence w, De Knight,
of Washington, before the Senate
Lobby Committee
Mr.. De Knight said he had a con-
tract for a contingent fee of $4,000
addition, but the provisions in the
bill did not operate successfully for
his client and the money was not
paid him. He said he received a
$4,000 retainer annually from the
Pneumatic Tube Company to repre-
sent their interest in Washington, and
contracts were exhibited showing that
he was to receive so per cent of the
retired pay obtained by large num-
Der of retired volunteer army officers
under the claims of a bill now pend
ing in Congress.
Mr.. De Knight said he represents
in Washington, or had represented,
the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Com
pany, a dredging corporation, the
New York Shipbuilding and Dry Dock
Company, the Bath Iron Works, OF
Bath, Maine, and other interests.
Mr.. De Knight said that the COM
mittee was being imposed upon and
ascribed the publication of news
paper articles on which the investt-
CATION was begun to the animus of a
stenographer whom he discharged. He
said that he had missed many papers
from his office. The committee pro-
duced one contract and Mr.. De Knight
promised that ne would produce other
original papers.

pool was steady on futures to-day, but
quoted Spots point down; sales 1000
bales, There were no cables or special
news to affect trading, which continues
narrow and professional. General ad-
vices from New York are still bearish,
but action is not as aggressive as 1t was,
showing the possibility of conversion and
a change.
our market opened slightly easier
and prices sagged q few points more on
dullHess. Bulls are holding off, antic-
pating the usual neglect and couse-
quent depression over sunday while
scalpers are selling for the same rea-
son and in anticipation of less stimulat-
ing statistics
Straddlers are selling here and buying
in New York, as our market is so much
above New York in the summer posi-
tions.
Receipts this weelt were rather heavy,
while clearances were smaller. How
ever, there is one decidedly bullsh fea-
ture in current statistics and that is
the much greater loss i'm interior stocks
from week to week than last year EX-
ports promise large for tine coming week.
The into-slght for the week looks
around $4,000, against 1867 $50 bales last
year, and we compare with mill takings
of 219,00O bales last year.

Quickly Absorbed Business
Continues Very Light.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Trading was
without feature at the opening OF the
cotton market to-day and first prices
were net unchanged TO 2 points higher
to point lower than Wednesdays close.
After the call brokers closely identified
with spot houses, the South and Liv-
erpool interests sold, but pressure was
not so very heavy However, it was
sufficient to force March points lower
to 1880, May 4 To INA and July to
1859. as support was lacking.
There was not much improvement in
general speculation and it is doubtful If
it can be attracted to the old crop
months The feeling locally continues
against the market, but bears are not
aggressive in the ring. However, spot
people say they can not interest New
England mills, the latter being indlIer-
ent 10 all offers. At the moment the
trade seems TO be waiting the February
supply and distribution figures, when
Will be out Saturday, and the maj
ginning figures a week from tomorrow.
The expectation seems to be fqr a total
of $500 600 bales, exclusive OF linters.

veloped strong tone, being under
heavy buying by Wall street and local

said to be for Wall street. This sent
the former option soaring and fifteen
