JUDGE HAYNIE REFUS-
 ES McCAINS BAIL
Considered Matter Here Yester- day Afternoon Prosecuting Attorney Parks Makes Wit nesSeS Squirm.

Judge c. R. Haynie yesterday re- fused to grant bail to Mark Mccain and son Joe Mccain, who are held here for the killing of J. P. Slagle in a street battle on West Main street on the afternoon of July 29
 Mark Mccain and two sons. Henry and Joe, were engaged in the shoot ing here in which Slagle lost his life. A coroner's inquest was held the same afternoon the tragedy occurred and the verdict was that the deceased was shot by the McCains and held them for the grand jury on first degree murder charge.
 Bail was refused Henry Mccain several days ago by Circuit Judge Haynie, and the attorneys for the McCains sought to get a hearing be- fore County Judge Thomas Thursday, while Judge Haynie was absent from the city. Judge Thomas postponed the case until Friday when Judge Haynie came home and in the after noon at ? o'clock the case was begun.
 Prosecuting Attorney Parks was present and at one time he had a wit ness, who had previously testified, very nervous and almost unable to sit in the witness chair. There were a large number of witnesses examined and the testimony given at yester- days hearing and the coroner's jury was in some instances, quite different. After hearing the testimony of all the witnesses which required about three hours, Judge Haynie refused to grant the prisoners bail
 Henry Mccain has been in jail since the shooting and the father, Mark and other son, Joe, have been in Gree son Sanitarium. Both were seriously wounded, while Henry escaped with a scratch. Sheriff Mum and deputies will leave tomorrow morning with the three prisoners for Little Rock, where they will be placed in the penitentiary and held there until the grand jury convenes here in January, 1917, when they will be brought back to answer the charge of the coroner's jury.

TRADE IN PRESCOTT
WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Confusion of Sentiment Causes Irregular Fluctuations Pric- es Lower for Week-DrOuth h
 in Southwest Led to Covering.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The cotton market has been nervous and irregu- lar during the past week, with De- cember contracts fiuctuating between 14.21 and 14.55, and closing tonight at 14.43c, compared with 14.72, the high record established on August 9.
 The opinions expressed by trades around the ring as well as the irregu- larity of fluctuations have indicated confusion of sentiment as to the more immediate course of prices and dis position to emphasize the approach of increasing new crop receipts has been considered largely responsible for the selling on advances. Continued drouth in the Southwest and the un- favorable average of private crop ac- counts have led to covering on de- clines, however, while there was con siderable nervousness on Wednesday and Thursday with reference to the

CHILD LABOR
 WAS PASSED
Without Debate or Record Vote, Senate Amendments Labor Bill Accepted By House. Ends Long Struggle.

Washington, Aug. 18.-Without de- bate or record vote the child labor bill was accepted by the house today with the senate amendment and put on it's way to become law with President Wilson's signature. It represents the result of years of struggle in congress between forces urging conservation of child-life and those opposing on many grounds, chiefly that it was a question of the states and not the federal gov ernment
 It would not have become law at this session of congress had not Pres ident Wilson after the Democratic caucus decided to eliminate it from the program, visited the capitol and insisted on it's inclusion.
 It bars products of any mine or quarry employing children under six teen and products of any mill cannery workshop, factory or manufacturing establishment employing children un- der fourteen or which employs chil- dren between fourteen and sixteen more than eight hours a day, more than six days week, or earlier than 6 o'clock in the morning or later than ' o'clock in the evening.
 It becomes effective one year after the date of the presidents approval Opposition to the bill was led by Southern congressman and its spon- sors charged cotton mill owners with being the principal objectors.

COTTON IS LOWER,
 EXCEPTING AUGUST
Storm Damage Considered Off, set By Good Rain Will Do Disturbance Moving Toward Mouth of Rio Grande.

New York, Aug 18.--Relief from tropical storm apprehension and pros poets for rains in the Southwest seemed to be chiefly responsible for rather a sharp break in the cotton market during today's early trading. December contracts sold off from 14.55c to 14.36c, but later rallied to 14.47c and closed at 14.43c. The gen eral list closed barely steady at net advance of 16 points on August, but generally 8 to points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points, which was not full response to the frmness in Liverpool. The publication of a pri- vate crop report placing the condition at 69.S per cent, compared with 75.S per cent two weeks previously, may have prompted some scattering buy ing, but offerings increased right after the call on the more optimistic view of the gulf storm situation. Official re- ports indicated that the disturbance was moving toward the mouth of the Rio Grande and an impression that it would cause beneficial rains in the Southwest was strengthened by the Western belt forecast for rains in East Texas and unsettled conditions in Oklahoma. Trade interests were reported to be buying on the decline however, and prices steadied later on reports that the storm might be work ing too far South to bring the desired rains to the Southwest
 Cotton closed barely steady.

Report That Only One Case In-
 fantile Paralysis-BOard of Health Makes Careful Investi- gation at Meeting Yesterday.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-There will be no quarantine against Memphis on account of infantile paralysis. This was decided upon yesterday at meet ing of the Board of Health, after a careful investigation It is reported that there is only one case of the dis case in Memphis, and if there were q large number a quarantine would probably be considered inadvisable and unnecessary. The advance that has been made in recent years in pre- ventive medicine has rendered un- necessary the quarantine regulations formerly so common.

SHIP BILL PASS-
 ED BY SENATE
Government Shipping Bill Pass ed Senate Last Night, Ending Long and Bitter Contest Salaries Cut Down.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-The govern ment shipping bill passed the senate tonight by vote of 3S to 21, ending one of the most bitterly contested leg islative struggles of the Wilsos ad- ministration In the last congress the measure precipitated Democratic revolt and fllibuster which forced postponement of many important bills but revised so as to minimize the government operation feature, the measure received today unanimous Democratic support and solid Repub- lican opposition. It already has passed the house.
 Passage of the bill paved the way for consideration of the revenue bill beginning next week. The shipping 1 bill provides for creation of govern ment shipping board, to acquire and operate ships for rehabilitation of the American merchant marine, and ap- propriates $50,000,000 for that pur- pose to be raised by the sale of Pan anna Canal bonds Several important amendments were agreed to just be- fore the final vote among them, one by Senator Hoke Smith which would reduce the salary of the shipping board members from $10,000 to $7,50o a year.
 Anothef by Senator Fletcher would authorize the president to seek ad- iustment of foreign discrimination against American shipping through diplomatic negotiations and to take retaliatory action if such negotiations fail
 Another by Senator Thomas would authorize the treasury to withhold clearance from masters of vessels who deliberately refuse to accept freight from American citizens without satis- factory reason.

FACTS ARE WIRED
 FROM SEATTLE ON
 MUNICIPAL PLANTS
Weatherly Gives Out Mes sage From Mayor Gill on Operation of
 Plants

Telegrams from all over the country poured into the offices of the city com mission yesterday from cities where mu- nicipal ownership exists telling of the rates and mode of procedure. The tele- grams were in answer to letters from Commissioners Weatherly and Barber, the two members of the commission who have been most active in the present cam paign for the $500,0O0 municipal light plant bonds, which will be voted on to- morrow.
 One of the most interesting of the tele- grams came from H. c. Gill, the mayor of Seattle, Wash, which stated that, de- spite the fact that the people of Seattle are supplied with water and electric light from a municipal plant it has never had a socialistic administration. The telegram of Mayor Gill follows:
 Commissioner James Weatherly, Bir- mingham, Ala.
 Your letter May 2S; entire bonded in- debtedness of the city of Seattle, Janu- ary, 1916, $7,131,000. Of these bonds 3D. S02. GOO issued for the wa,er system, and s, ,920,O 900 for the light plant. The interest on the water bonds and the sinking fund for the redemption of same paid
  The interest on the light bonds and the sinking fund for their redemption paid out of the earnings of the light plant. The report of the state bureau of super vision of public offices shows the net op- eration earnings for the year ending December 31, 19l5I to $27O, 150. After caring for all operation, maintenance, deprecia- ton and operating interest there has been invested in the light plant exten- sons, from it's depreciation fund and sur- plus earnings over $2, 100000 in the Il years of it's operation.
 '"The electric plant is now serving 4, GOO consumers in the city, against the pri- vate company serving 23,SO0. In Seattle. Everitt, Ballingham and Tacoma, inclu- sive, since 1900, the maximum rate for lights has been reduced from 20 cents per K. w. H. to 5a cents. Rate for residence lighting is now 51a cents for the first 45 K. w., and 2 cents for all above that Business and power rates are much lower. In every case the mu- nicipal plant has been the first to re- duce rates, the private company follow ing.
 '"rhe average tax on a Seattle home costing $500 is but $25 per year. The reduction in cost of lighting has more than saved the Seattle taxpayer the amount of his taxes. Seattle today sup plies her citizens the purest water and the best light and power service at the loves rates in the United States, due to the fact that the city owns and operates it's own water and electric plants. Neither the city of Seattle nor the light plant has ever had a socialistic administration or a single socialist official. H. c. GILL;
 Mayor of Seattle''

 Fifty members of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage held a little parade of their own to emphasize the purpose for which they are in Chicago, to obtain plank in the republican plat form calling for passage of the Anthony amendment. As the parade was moving north in Michigan avenue the women, carrying an appropriately worded banner moved south For the most part they were cheered.
