BRITAIN TO PAY FOR COTTON.
The Price Will BE the Market Value
at Por6 of Shipment.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The British
board Of trade has arranged to make
final settlements for all American
cotton which it has bought and which
is not covered BY sales contracts. The
price to be paid will be the market
value at the port Of shipment on the
date of shipment, and contracts OF
the same dates will be used as a
guide in arriving at the price to be
paid.
The action is one of the conse-
quences OF the British order for plac-
ing cotton on the contraband list and
the determination of the British au-
thorties to support the market
against the effects of that action.
Italy Holds Cotton Also.
New York, Oct. 22.--American
cotton valued at approximately $50
100000, shipped from the United
States and consigned to Germany, is
ment, according to Capt. J. w.
Batchelor, of the Liverpool Salvage
Association, who arrived here to-day
on the steamship Baltic from Liver
pool.
Cant. Bachelor said that he but
recently came from Italy, where lie
was engaged in looking after this
cotton. For several months. he said,
previous to Italy joining the allies,
all cotton consigned to Germany
through Italy was detained. one of
the last preteXts uesd was that there
was a shortage OF cars, and to over
come this Germany sent to Italy n
large consignment Of rolling stock.
Italy is in possession of both cars
and cotton.

that an appeal from his decision could

"EXecution Inhuman."
The Hague, Oct. 22.-The Nieuwe
Courant calls Miss Edith Cavel, the
English nurse executed in Brussels,
lone OF the great martyrs Of centu-
ries," but admits that by sheltering
her own countrymen, who were enc
mics of Germany, she committed a
punishable crime.
But the execution was inhuman, -
the paper declares. The Germans
apparently desired to give terroriz-
ing example which, however. only
aroused embitterment and strength
ened the opinion in neutral countries
that Germany is ruling Belgium with
unnecessary cruelty and harshness. -

WAILINGFORD HAS NOTHING
 ON o. H. KING
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D
 plaints have been made to the DcaI police regarding the operations of the San Bias officials.
 King was to have been in commun1- cation with his office as late as THes- day of this week, but he failed to keep an appointment at the Hotel Garde, New Haven, and has not been heard from since. This statement made last night by Attorney Gray, with other known facts is taken as an indication that King expected until the last nin- ute that negotiations might be effected with States Attorney Homer P. Cum mings whereby the state police search for the absconder would not be push ed too industrious1y.
 That such an attempt to swerve the states attorney from the path of jus tice failed signal1y is seen in further statements made by John P. Gray who said when asked if he thought King might commit suicide:
 King will not do that, you may be sure, for when he detailed to me in Hartford the extent of his n1isdeeds he laughed as he completed the narra- ton, saying, John, that's all the There are probably lots of others that have escaped my recollection.
 "I do not exraE@ to hear again from King until cold weather sets in. He will then probably be without funds and discouraged and I should not be surprised if he walked into the police station at say. St. Paul or New Orleans and asked them to have the Bridge port police come and get him. He will not commit suicide for he takes the whole matter lightly.
 If he did not do this how could he ever kept his mind clear for so many years while this thing has been going on? His brother-in-1aw called upon me the other day and said that the be- ginning of his disaster dated as far back as 1897. His methods if pulp 1ished in book form would net 41irn a small fortune, as George Cohanis Wal lingford never had anything on him.
 T should not be surprised and feel quite positive that there is not a town clerks office in this state that does not hide some 'phoney' mortgage made out by King"
 Asked to give the original cause for the cumulative peculations that finally resulted in Kings Gisappearance, Gray said:
 TT am at a loss to understand what originated it, but I am assured that it has been going on since the 90's, with the situation constantly becon- ing more involved. King seldom drank any intoxicating liquor. He did not gamble to my Knowledge"

Shelton Strike Ends
 Through Compromise

Shelton, Conn, Sept. 4-The strike of machinists at the R. N. Bassett Company's plant here was adjusted this afternoon. The strikers asked for am eight hour day without reduction in wages.

SunQn1ar
 OF THE War News

Intense activity of the artillery continues to be the dominating feature of the war news. Mili- tary observers abroad incline to the belief that the persistent bombardment of the Germans presages an offensive by the en- tente allies in the west.
 Petrograd, in it's latest state ment admits retirement of the Russians to the north bank of the Dvina in the sector where the desperate struggle to protect Riga and the road to Petrograd is in progress.
 North of Wilma, where the Ger man lines have apparently little progress of late, the Russians claim to have continued offen- sive operations and gained ground against the Germans, with the capture of more than dozen ma chine guns and 300 prisoners.
 The Balkan problem still is in an unsoIved state and there are no signs that the situation will definitely shape itself within the next few days.
