were industriously digging in a var
cant lot, when man who was pass

Don't you know that it is sin to

and then the remaining eastern ag-
gregations will follow. "a
Manager John McGraW of the
Giants has stirred up fine little mess
by trying to sign Benny Kauff, the
star outfielder of the Federal league,
under contract to Brooklyn Tip Tops.
Kauff became dissatisfied in Brooklyn
because he was fined $50, and went
to McGraw. -
The Giant pilot, who does not care
a laundering lot about obligations
and contracts, put him in uniform and
tried oplay him against the Boston
Braves. Apparently McGraw did this
on his own hook, as he has lots of
power in directing the Giants, and
did not consult President Hampstead |
President Gaffney of the Braves re-
fused to allow his team to play
against Kauff, cocntending that the
outfelder was an outlaw and would
remain one until reinstated by the
national commission. Umpires Quig-
ley and Eason became mixed up,
Quigley forfeiting the game to the
Giants and Eason to the Braves Then
President Tener came through with |
telegram to the effect that Kauff |
couldn't play and that Boston should |
have the game if McGraw persisted
in his intention.
McGraw took water Immediately,
removed Kauff in favor of Snodgrass
and then said the battle was only an |
exhibition. Evidently he is not &C
quainted with the rule that prohibits |
teams from the same league playing
exhibitions against each other dur
ing the league season. Presndent |
Tener decided that the game counts |
in the records. The Braves slammed |

should be little difficulty preventing
him playing with the Giants, as his
contract with Brooklyn is supposed to
be ironclad. 1t is possible that the
leaders of organized baseball will
force MeGraw to give up all claim to
Kauff, as his act will give organized
ball black eye if allowed to stand.

STOCK MARKET IS
 NORMAL AGAIN Quickly Recovers From Shock of Lusitania's
 Sinking

New York. May s-The net result of todays stock market session is calculated to dispel all doubt of this country's abi- ity to maintain its financial equilibrium in the face of very trying circumstances. Over night advices in connection with the sink ing of the Lusitania, carrying political implications of grave import, were ex pected to find direct reflection in values of securities. As matter of fact. the market broke severely in the first 15 min utes, stocks throughout the list declining from to 10 points. From that time al most to the end heavy buying orders brought a restoration of normal condi- tions, many important issues closing with nominal losses. while few showed small gains.
 Some of the war specialties closed the day with losses of 1 to points, while seasoned stocks in the railway list plainly showed the effect of what is technically called good" buying. Total sales, 5Ib,0o0 Every precaution was taken to keep spec ulation within bounds
 The money market was not a factor loans made yesterday holding over until next Monday. Little attention was paid to the bank statement.
 Bonds heavy and active. Total sales, par value. aggregated $S,575,000.
 United States bonds unchanged on call during the week.

CLOSING COTTON
 PRICES STEADY Sentiment Still Unsettled and Disturbed to Some
 Extent

New York, May s.-The action of the cotton market today indicated the demor- alization and severe break of yesterdav afternoon had fully reflected the shock to sentiment of the sinking of the I.usitania, and closing prices were steady at a net advance of Il to 15 points.
 Liverpool cables were better than due. and the market here opened at an ad- vance of to 10 points. Sentiment stiu seemed to be more or less disturbed and unsettled, but there was a good demand from houses with foreign connections and local trade interests, which readily ah- sent the active months about 14 to r points above last nights closing figures. As prices worked higher, there was some GOV. ering by recent sellers. and the close was only slightly off from the best under re- newed realizing or liquidation.
 Confirmation of yesterdays reports that China and Japan had come to under standing probably helped the market, and while 1t was reported that yesterday 8 disaster had greatly disturbed the situa- tion as to war risk and marine insurance, some of the larger local trade interests appeared to be of the opinion that no serious check is to be anticipated fin the export of commodities. Review of the dry goods situation showed no particular change in the volume of business or out look. and some further anxiety was re- ported as to conditions in the southwest, which is believed to mean spell of dry. warm weather Further rains in the east ern belt was considered beneficial from a new crop standpoint.

Mrs. Christine Frederick in the New

 While the tango is danced by compara- lively few of society's elite the kitchen waltz Is indulged in daily by thousands of women all over the country who are their own chief cook and bottle washer.
 This is the way 1t is done. A woman decides to make an omelet, she trots gracefully to the left to the ice box, re- moves the eggs and fits hastily 20 feet across the room to the kitchen table Here. after the proper pause, during which time she beats the eggs, she ad- vances carefully (carrying the bowD to the kitchen stove. Another pause at the stove and she reverses 20 feet back to the pantry to get a platter. makes one more trip of 20 feet back to the table, makes another last slide to the stove.

How An Infantry Charge Is Now Conducted


 One of the features of the war has been the brilliant successes accomplished by means of British bayonet charges and time and again the boys with the cold grey steel have scattered the Ger mans like chaff before the wind. A mod Nern bayonet charge is a combination of pluck and discipline for 1t consists of more than a reckless rush at the enemy. Troops engaged in such an undertak. ing now advance towards the foe by means of a series Of rushes-which fa to say battalion does not advance sinul- tanecusly. but in portions, and each unit runs for certain distance and then takes cover. This method has proved to be more satisfactory than the old ham, suited in such heavy casualties among the participators.
 During the charge the battalion is split up into three portione-right, center and left. Whilst one unit advances, the oth- or, taking cover or lying on the earth. keeps up a murderous fire at the enemy. and slowly the men, by numerous short assailants take advantage of every it. tic shrub or hillock. and even a fold in the ground Is used for purposes of cover. and in this way casualties are kept down to minimum
 One great advantage of this form of a0Vanco lB tndt Iuo men, when theY d0 como to grips with the enemy. are conn- paratively fresh. and not ready to fall with fatigue az they would be if They had run for several hundred yards with. out a breathing space. The last few yards to be covered by the bayonet lighters Is taken with a fierce rush which not only adds impetus to the charge, but alao badly scares the energy especially when our troops shriek out thsir favorites war cries at the tops of their voices. Tho British are iiy recognized as being the best bayonet fighters in the world and special pafns arc taken to train them in this form of attack. A machins for this purpoee is in use in the army which oonsists of . number of wires stretched on . frarue along which balls of plaited straw run downward in an cratic fashion.

New Orleans, May S.-A quiet and steady feeling prevailed in the cotton market today with prices on the up- grade and reacting from the decline of yesterday. Early in the session the ring was active and excited and a large business was done but with no new developments the market soon quieted down.

After the first edge of profit taking was off the market sagged un- der the Influence of rains in the eastern belt and at one time threatened to break through the level of yesterdays close.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York May S.-(SpeciaL )-Tak- ing all the facts into consideration Liverpool was better than looked for and the American spinners appeared as buyer during the opening hour. This demand. together with investment buy ing of a moderate character, absorbed the arbitrage selling from New Or leans, so the market slowly advanced to the close showing an improvement of some IA points. While there is no de- fense from a humanitarian point of view in the sinking of the Lusitania from a national view point the sinking of the Gulflight, flying the flag of the United States, is the more important as to the market; cotton is is below the cost of production but the mills of the world excepting those in the war zone, are running full time, and the neutral nations have reduced their stocks of goods during the past eight months to a minimum.
