COTTON CLOSES
WITH SMALL LOSS
Bullish Weekly Weather Report
Weak and Market Declines
- Points.

The cotton market was extremely
nervous and unsettled to-day, but
break OF nearly SO bale from Tues
days high records was followed by
sharp rally in the late trading, and the
market closed steady, at net loss OF
only to ~ points. January contracts
which had sold at 1920 on the previous
day, broke to 1892 during yesterdays
trading, but closed at 1890.
Tho market opened barely steady at
a decline Of 10 20 Is points in response
10 lower cables, but almost immedi-
ately rallied, with active months sell
ing to points net higher on heavy
outside buying, which carried Deem
Der contracts up from 1855 70 1885,
and January from 1886 70 1901. The
weather map, however, failed 70 show
the officially predicted frosts, while
there was continued heavy profit taking
or liquidation, and prices soon turned
easier. Selling was held In check 70
pectations of a very bullish weekly re-
port, but after the publication Of this
statement, which proved rather less
bullsh than expected, prices broke Sc
yorely under general realizing or liqui-
dation. The weakness of war stocks
was considered partly responsible for
the heavy Wall Street selling, but the
extent and rapidly of the recent al =
vance had evidently created great
deal Of reactionary sentiment. and
offerings were more or less general on
the break, which sent the active months
80 20 g. points under last nights clos
ing figures At this level, however, or
around l2.46 for December and 1872
for January, there was q renewal Of
aggressive bull support and covering,
which accounted for the closing rallies
of some % to 20 points from the
lowest.
There were reports at times during
the day OF considerable Southern hedge
selling, but there was evidently con
siderable difference Of opinion around
the ring as 10 the situation in this re
spoct, some spot people claiming that
practically ali the Southern selling rep
resented liquidation Of long contracts
rather than hedging against actual.
There has been big Wal! Street IN
teres. in the market, and many were in
clIned 10 attribute the decline very
largely 20 liquidation from this source,
procipitated by the decline IN war
stocks. The weekly report of the
Weather Bureau said that conditions
had been generally favorable for pick
ing, but held out little encouragement
20 increased estimates of the crop. and
local map readers based frost predic-
tions for the Southwest OIL the pres
ence Of strong high barometer north
e. est Of the belt Private reports from
the South continued Of very bullish
average, both as 70 spot aud crop con-
ditions, and Southern spot markets %
officially reported we're IS points lower
to 80 points higher. Exports for the
day were 3O,274 bales, making 730, 756

ENGLISH PROGRAM
TO REGULATE LIQUOR
Cabinet Is Expected To Formulate
and Announce Plan At Today's
Session.
(By W. s. Forrest.)

London, April 13.- The British
cabinet will probably formulate a
definite program for the regulation Of
liquor traffic during the remainder Of
the war before adjournment tonight
With Premier Asquith presenting Il
personal message from King George
regarding the prohibition proposals, the
cabinet was engaged today in n
final discussion Of the liquor question
before parliament convenes tomorrow.
The king is understood TO have in.
formed the premier that he was will.
ing that concessions be made the
brewers of the country by refraining
from insistence upon absolute prohibi.
tion throughout the British isles.
II was understood today that the
brewers and representatives Of other
liquor interests will not oppose the
establishment of prohibition in centers
where the government is convinced
that excessive use Of liquor is hinder.
ing the manufacture Of war munitions.
Absolute countrywide abolition Of
liquor traffic will be bitterly opposed,
however, and in eases Of partial pro-
hibition the liquor interests will insist
upon compensation in the districts in
which the anti.liquor orders are issued.

FAMOUS KANSAS CITY
STAR EDITOR DIES
Colonel Nelson Passes Away
After Brilliant Career In
journalism

Kansas City, Mo-, April William
r. Nelson, owner OF the Kansas City
STAR Gied at his home here early today
after an extended illness. Colonel Mel.
son was n years old. lie was the sole
owner and editor of the newspaper
which he had built up and up to a
month ago was active in the manage.
ment of the Star, despite his illness.
After the last republican national
convention when the progressive party
was organized Colonel Nelson was the
first noted editor in the country to
come out in support of Colonel Roose
yelt
b Been at Fort Wayne, Ind, March Z,
lS4l, Colonel Nelson was educated at
Notre Dame university. For two years
he worked upon a newspaper there
Later he failed to realize an expected
fortune in Sea lslard cotton and for
several years was a successful contrac.
tor.
When 80 years old and in possession
of n few thousand dollars Nelson ar
rived in Kansas City, determined to
establish an ideal afternoon newspaper.
His greatest asset was his aggressive.
ness, On September IS, 1880, the first
Star appeared. 1t was n paper of four
pages. From the first the Star ad.
vanced all causes for civic improve.
ments parksiand better buildings. Mel.
son was the first to offer war upon the
prevailing price for newspapers, put,
ting forth the Star at seven dailies for
10 cents, Later he bought the Times
and offered seven morning papers and
six evening papers fcc 10 cents.
lie built his own papor mill, and the
Star, Of which he was sole owner, is
reputcd to be the finest newspaper
plant in America and possibly in The
world. The fortune Of Colonel Nelson
is estimated at millions.
Eugene Field, who was conducting n
humorous column On the Kansas City
Times, then rival Of the Star, dubbed
Nelson "Colonel. " lie was not mill.
tary officer, but the title given him by
Field stuck.

Try Salem First" Draws
Crowds To Oregon

Two capacity houses for the Oregon
Theatre was the manner in which
Salem showed its interest in home
made pictures. The house was not
only crowded during the evening, but
at all times of the showing of the
home made comedy, "Try Salem
First" the crowd showed its interest
and approval.
Considering the cloudy weather in
which the pictures were taken, Manager
Card managed to develop remarkably
clear pictures.
Tonight the "Try Salem First" will
be given again. 1t is really quite in
teresting to see home folks moving
around and doing stunts just like real
movie stars.

SCHOOL BOARD IS
AT LOCGERKEADS
OVER "FLUE" SCRAP
Building Committee Reports
No Progress --- Discuss
Points Of Differentiation

When is "hole" not "whole ~
Ans.-When it is flue.
SO far as the board of school direct
ors are concerned the high school chin.
ney controversy between the board and
Contractor Hughes has dwindled down
to this fine Ioint of discrimination,
which means, in the language of the
committee ON buildings and grounds,
which has the matter in hand, that no
progress" has been made toward a
settlement of the dispute which has
nov lasted nearly two months.
The committee reported last night
that they had conferred with Mr..
Hughes and his counsel since the last
meeting, but that they had been I'm.
able TO secure any kind Of tangible
proposition for compromise, arbitration
or settlement with Mr.. Hughes except
that he had offered to accept reduc
ton Of about $l2 representing the saw.
ing he confesses he saved in labor and
material in eliminating the header
courses in the chimney already con.
strueted, and that he would build the
second chimney the required inside di.
mensions of 25 inches to clear for the
same price as the one already ccc-
structed, but the committee was not
satisfied with this proposition.
Director Barnes expressed himself as
determined to insist upon the 90 per
cent reduction in the contract price of
the chimney because the experts re.
ported that the chimney had been re.
duced in efficiency about 81 per cent
by reason e. the deviation from the
specified inside dimensions, It is more
than probable that a compromise can
not pe arranged by the committee, and
unless the majority of the board 90
over the heads of the committee and
"der settlement upon one basis or
another the matter will be carried into
the courts.
Director Barnes, in order that the
committee be prepared to make Con.
tractor Hughes definite proposition,
suggested that the committee be au.
thori2ed and instructed to offer a set.
tIemcnt upon the basis Of reduction
OF Sl25 on the contract which is
about 20 per cent, as recommended by
the Portland chimney experts-and pav
the contractor 25 cents per cubic foot
extra fG the additional concrete base
constructed by the contractor over the
specifications. Director White took is.
sue With him upon this score, contend.
ing mat 1t would not be right to assess
