SKEHENS WINS ON
LAKEWOOD LINKS
Golfer from Woods Hole
Makes Creditable Score
in MidWinter Tourney.

Charles Skehens, Of the Woods Hole
Golf Club, Of Falmouth, Mass, led the
field in the Washington's Birthday
handicap over the links of the Country
Club OF Lakewood yesterday with a
score of 70, which he might have. i'm
proved several strokes had 1t not been
for his indifferent putting on four
greens. l.. j. Gallagher, of Lakewood
took the net prize with card Of
e8-l6-72.
Outside Of the heavy white frost in
the morning, which had made the go
ing rather difficult in the early hours,
the day was ideal for golf, and the fact
that there were sixty starters in the
handicap Indicated that the midwinter
experiment Of this club has proved
popular. There were q hundred or
more who went out for informal
rounds.
For winter golf, however, Skehens's
card was good. II follows:

COTTON MARKET
 HAS GOOD TONE Stands Successfully Under Considerable Volume
 of Offerings

New Orleans, March 16.-Cotton had a good tone throughout today's session and successfully stood up under a con- siderable volume of offerings which seemed to be about equally divided be- tween the two accounts. Much liquida- ton came from the long side. many bulls being impressed with the idea that pre- vailing comparatively high prices would result in an increased acreage this spring that would be considered bearish.
 Reports that steamship lines were with drawing rates also caused selling. In the1 early trading prices wero 8 to II points up. From this there was a reac- ton which put the most active months to within 1 to points of yesterdays close. In the afternoon another slight upward movement occurred and the close was at net gain for the session of to ( points,
 Buying in the early part of the day was based on the good cables and the census bureau report showing a larger consumption of cotton in this country during February than In the same month last year. In the afternoon futures were sustained by the strength of spots and by the larger exports For the day the export movement was 56,525 bales. which brought the total for the season up to &021SS4.

tain suggestions from the point of view of students of our local situation.
 There Is no doubt wide field for recreation service in this city, and friends of the people cannot be satisfied until the field Is fully occupied But the prob lem created by the lack of funds for ade- quate support of the work requires q careful re-examination to be made. so that the best work may be done under the present stringent conditions. We, therefore, venture to suggest the follow ing.
 "l. The first function of a playground is the service of those who need 1t most urgently. These are the cfstricts where neglect of children is most likely to bring them into touch with the police. Gen. erally speaking, these are the poorer dis triets of the city.
 "2. Fairgrounds in such districts. talk Ing precedence of all other playgrounds in their claim on public support. must be adequately supervised. If not so super vised, they are likely to result in bad in- fiuences as in good.
 "1. The funds available, therefore. should be expended first, on supervision Of such localities rather than on expen- sive central office work.
 "4. Valuable developments of recrea- tion groups not in playgrounds have been secured, and so far as possible should be made permanent. But here also super viaon Is a paramount requirement.. When such supervision is both voluntary and efficient, there is, of course, great gain, but we believe that as rule the efficient worker should receive fair compensation.
 Too Sudden Expansion
 "5. The difficulties under which the playground work now suffers arise, We believe, from too sudden expansion, in tempting conditions, over too wide area. Great expense has been borne by certain localities where the playground provided for children of wel-to-do citizens, and tue withdraw of city funds leaves these expensive equipments unused. Neverthe- less these localities cannot be considered needy in the sense in which that word applies to the poorer districts. Their local associations may perhaps secure super vision necessary.
 e. We believe that the mere mu1tipll- cation of playgrounds oenters and of chil- dren attending them Is of no significance compared with the thorougnness of the result. The smaller playground may easily surpass the. largest in value of such results.
 "T rusting that this report may be of value in the present emergency and that reorganization of playground work may bc made to begin at the neediest places. and be not undertaken except where thorough supervision can be secured, we are, gentlemen. Yours ohedient servants,

 Her voice at times almost inaudihle or broken by sobs, she told of Ballou's visit to her that night: of how she later found him unconscious at the foot of her stairs: of carrying him to the entrance docr in an effort to revive him: of the visit of the police to her apartments. and Of her arrest.
 She sketched into the picture her early acquaintance with Ballou. his affection for her and her friendly feeling for him, although she had declined to marry him.
 Mrs. Angle was on the stand when ad- journment was taken.
 State Attorney Cummings showed Mrs Angie a pair of speetacles and asked whether she remembered them as having been worn by Ballou. She said she could not identify them, She did not remem- Der how blood came to be on the spec tGclos or how they came to be in a box on her back piazza.

New York, March 16-Rather an ex- cited advance was followed by reac- tions in cotton today. but the closs, was steady at a net gain of from } to points.
 Bullish census figures on domestic mill consumption for February doubt less contributed in the early advance, but the main factor appeared to be the increased strength and activity of the Liverpool market
 Expected to come about 11k @s points lower on the basis of yesterday e American markets. Liverpool was E English points higher at the local ,pen- ing and first prices here were from 5 to points higher Private cables at- tributed the English strength to French and Russian buying and to in- creased difficulty of securing marine insurance and houses with foreign con nections were rather active buyers here right after the call.
 Demand was sufficient to send ac- tive months about II to l3 points higher, with October and the later de- iiveries again establishing new high records for the season, but there was a good deal of realizing while there was also some house selling, and prices turned easier after Iiverpools close. Selling for reaction was held in check by reports of continued active spot de- mand south, and the continued heavy exports. but prices gradually sagged off to about about yesterdays closing. There seem CT to be supported iron, Wall street and western sources on the setback. however, and the last prices were 5 to points up from the lowest.

Chicago, March 16.--Easing away of ex- port demand for spot cash wheat today seemed to have influence in bringing about heavy profit-taking sales by holders of speculative contracts.

 Heaviness characterized corn through out the session. Decrease in the domestic visible supply total was much less than expected and there was not much ship ping inquiry.
 A big wash business was in progress in oats. The effect was offset, though by general selling out by commission house longs, owing largely to fine weather.

New York, March 1S.-(Specia1.) .)-Iiver- pool reported an active demand under which prices advanced sharply some 10 to 12 points. much to the surprise and astonishment of the American markets, who could find no pressing influence to cause this advance abroad. The market finally closed unsettled at points higher, while our market remained quiet, points up at the close. The trade here cannot account for the advance abroad, they feel that 1t cannot be maintained and that after these days of unaccountable strength Liverpool will return to period of weakness and decline

GADSDEN

Gadsden, March 6.-(Special.) )-Steps to recover 716o acres of mineral land in Wal ker county, now held by E. W. Rucker, prominent Birmingham man, were taken today by Tom Peters Henley. a local mail carrier. The complaint in bill filed by his counsel, Hood & Murphree, at Jasper, in Walker county, contains only nine lines, and little information is given. Henley is the grandson of Maj. Thomas Peters, who owned extensive tracts of mineral lands in Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, Walker and Fayette counties, as well as in Mexico. His estate is now estimated to be worth millions. It is alleged that when Major Peters died, in 1883, his will provided that after his debts were paid. the balance of the estate should go to his grandson. Tom P. Henley, the only heir at law. MT. Henley realized nothing.
 Fire about noon yesterday destroyed the large show tent of c. w. Parks and damaged a house on Locust street owned by T. J. Noojin to the extent of about 5000. Sparks from the house set fire to the tent in many different places, and it was burned within four minutes. Mir. Parks was to have opened in Gadsden tonight with a big negro minstrel show. His loss will be about $25Oo He imme- diately telegraphed for a new tent and will open Wednesday night.
 The jitney bus line between Gadsden and Attalla was not in operation today. 1t was said that one of the cars broke down and the machinist was working at the steel plant and could not repair it.
 One thousand tons of steel billets a month, for five months, will be shipped from Gadsden over the Southern to Sa- vannah for export, according to informa- ton secured today.
