7 HRKS PICKED
AS CHAPLAIN IN
FEDERAL NAVY
And He Will Report at Once at
Norfolk, Va, to Be Given
Assignment.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The
Rev. A. N. Parks, Jr., was today no
tilted by wire by Representative
Nicely Of his selection out OF over 800
applicants for an appointment as
chaplain in the navy, Mr.. Parks lives
at Warrington, w. Va, where he is
the popular and efficient pastor of a
Presbyterian church. His appoint
ment was made by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels, upon the recommen-
dation of Major Nicely. The Rev.
Mr.. Parks met Secretary Daniels per-
sonally about two weeks ago, when
he was presented to the head of the
navy department by the Falrmont
congressman.
Mr.. Parks will report at once at
Norfolk to be assigned He ranks as
4 lieutenant and his salary is $4,000,
the appointment being for life The
mannington minister is thirty-fve
years old and unmarried In appear
ance he is more youthful looking than
his years would imply. He is of ath-
letlc build and his personality i'm
presses one as denoting that he is
regular fellow" which is an impor-
tant characteristic, 1t is said, for a
chaplain Of the navy to possess.
The appointment Of the Rev. Mr..
Parks is the second chaplaincy ever
allotted to West Virginia. The other
appointment was made twelve years
ago, when the Rev. DR.. Helms, Of
Cameron, was given commission
upon the recommendation of Senator
Nathan B. Scott and the late Con-
gresham Blackburn B. Dovener.
Chaplain Helms is still in the service.

Events of Washington, D. Co.
Are Reported by TeIegram'S
Correspondent There.


WASHINGTON, July 15.-The House
committee on military affairs voted
today almost unanimously to report
out a bill which aims to place on the
retired list all surviving officers of the
Union army in the Civil war. Speak
ing OF the bill as a highly meritorious
and Just measure, Congressman Little
mage, who is a member of the COM
mittee on military affairs and voted to
report out the bill, said: THE bill IS
to be reported out at once and
strong effort made to pass it. Such
proposal has been before Congress for
years. 1t is a measure OF the highest
Justice when we take into considera-
ton that the officers retirement lists
are composed almost entirely OF bene-
ficiaries who never saw any actual
service. These surviving officers OF
the Union army did, and 1t is a matter
of exact Justice and righteousness to
place them on retirement at one-half
the pay they received when they were
commanding the troops In the Civil
war, which is what this bill proposes.
or course, should It become a law, the
retirement pay would take the place
OF what pensions they receive How
many ex-officers OF the Union would
benefit by the passage Of this bill,
am not prepared to say OFF hand. But
there are several thousands Of them
still living in all sections of the coun-
try"

1t is no exaggeration to lay at the
door the credit for the present yigor-
GUS activity OF the state department in
protesting to the Turkish government
against its cruel and inhuman treat
ment of the Syrians, to certain mem
beers OF the West Virginia delegation in
Congress. And it is not lessening the
credit due them one whit by accord
ing the ecredit for their activity, COW
erlng a period OF considerable over a
wear. TO a native of Syria himself, but
now and for many years citizen Of
West Virginia. highly respected and
prominent one, toby name Charles
Amien, of Wheeling. 1t is difficult
thing to convey to an outsider just how
persIstently and energetically Amien
worked on several members OF the
delegation. For upwards of two years
he gave them not even day to for
get the Syrian problem and what
ought to be done. Letters. telgrams,
petitIons and personal conferences 49,
there was nothing left undOne to prod
up Representatives Sutherland and
Neelv, who were the particular OBJ
jects OF Mr.. Amien's unceasing atten-
ton. Occasionally, he reached over
into the Senate wing and sent Senators
Chiffon and Golf or their emissarles
along the well-beaten path to the state
department which Messrs. Sutherland
and Nicely had learned to know inch
by inch.
The state department has been a
long while acting in this matter, but
at last it has gotten on the job, hardly
with the vigor which characterized the
"Perdicardus alive or Rasuili dead"
episode of the Roosevelt administra-
ton but with an activity that it hasn't
shown in handling this matter up-to-
date. It's protests now are frequent
and Notwithstanding, but the Turk
ish government has been slow to heed
them even to the extent Of satisfac-
tory reply.
And way down at the source Of It's
activity, as those who know can tell
YOU, is Charley" Amien. the Wheeling
ilve-wire who was transplanted years
ago from the Cradle of Christianity
"Charley" Amien who wouldn't allow
neither senators nor representatives
rest and peace Of mind until he got
started the wheels Of the machinery
Of Justice and humanity officially
symbolzed in this country by the ma
tional government.

this morning, probably due to the lower freight rates, which have resulted In a free export movement to the English market where stocks are very small.
 Our markets were very narrow and life less during the day. The interests seem pretty well evened up and the trade has assumed a waiting attitude until the pub lication of the first acreage report and the June condition report, both of which will be posted at 10 o'clock tomorrow. The Journal of Commerce makes the condition on an average date of June B IS 6, against 79.1 last month. All private reports show a slight deterioration for the period.
 The government figures are expected to be from 7S to 30, against T.5 last month and the acreage report will probably show an increase of around 10 per cent. Spots were steady and unchanged with holders waiting until the mills are forced to buy their cotton.
 The weather is generally favorable for the growing crop, but many sections re- port the boil weevil in unusual quan- titles.
 I do not expect any material change in prices until there is some change in the political situation or crop conditions.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 0-(Special )-The market was extremely quiet today with tendency to even up commitments be- fore the government report tomorrow. It will be published at Il o'clock. showing estimated acreage as compared with an acreage of 32,17O,O0O last year and a con- dition of 77.5 this year in May.
 The trade expects about a 10 per cent increase in acreage and condition report of between 79 and 80. We do not think that the report will have very much effect on the market although a high condition might bring some selling, as we find a tendency among those who have been advocating very much higher prices to proceed cautiously, as they begin to realize that we are within six weeks of the time when the early receipts will begin to have their effect on values. They do not see an early end of the European war, which they had expected and are now questioning whether the market will be able to stand up under the weight of the crop when it begins to move. although believing that ultimately it will be worth more.

GETTING READY FOR
 THE CENSUS REPORT
Cotton at New Orleans Oc- cupied With Evening Up of
 Commitments for Today

New Orleans, June 30.-The cotton mar ket here today was devoted chiefly to evening up of commitments in prepara- ton for the government reports on con dition and acreage tomorrow. There was little fresh business and it was a dull session, with prices showing no decided tendency. At the best of the trading months were ? points over yesterday S final quotations; at the lowest they were to points under. Closing prices were point higher to 1 point lower than yes terday's last prices.
 Cables were about as due, which made for a tame opening. After a decline of a point the market moved lazily upward points on talk of too much rain in some sections of the belt and bullish pri- vate condition reports There were many political rumors during the day which
 increased caution about making new trades. The market was inclined to sag from the middle of the day because of a rumor that ocean freight rates to Liver pool out of this port had been advanced 25c to $1.50 per 100 pounds.
 Small liquidation of long contracts was steady and it served to offset the bullish features of crop accounts.

STOCK MARKET |S
 STILL SLUGGISH
Representative Stocks Make Gains Which Are Lost
 Later

New York, June S0--Further gains in representative stocks, most of which were lost later, and consistent heaviness in the more volatile specialties were the contra asting features of todays profes- sional market. Trading was on mod crate scale, the approaching weekend and next weeks holiday causing a gen eral curtailment of operations.
 The Mexican situation was again source of irritation, if not alarm, private advices from reliable sources indicating revival of the recent strain, because of the reported refusal of the authorities of that country to meet creating demands of inc United States government. There were indications also of more liquidation of obscure ipdustrials and equipments.
 United States Steel. which led the mar ket throughout, and the prominent rails, such as Union Pacific, New York Cen tral, Reading and the coalers as whole gave the list its early upward impetus together with the marine issues, which were again notably strong. The munl- lions made little or no response to rumors of yovernment contracts and inspiration was the only metal issue to hold more than steady, the zinc shares recording 
 further concessions
 Mexican Petroleum was subject to com blned long selling and bear attacks, but other Mexican stocks held their ground until the end, when selling became more general. Texas company, which was up points at the best, showed a net gain of 4.
 Total sales of stocks amounted to 46o,- 000 shares.
 According to forecasts local banks are likely to show their first JOSS of cash in several weeks tomorrow. Heavy re- cepts of gold from Canada probably Will be offset by currency shipments to the interior. Call money again ascended to 4 per cent, duplicating its high price of the year in connection with the mid year shifting of loans.
 Except for marine 41as, which made new high record at 106h, the bond mar ket was irregular and featureless. Total sales, par value, S3,120,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call, with a sale of coupons 3s at A per cent concession.
 Onsa single sale, Mexican debenture As declined to 271s, decline of 221A points from the previous quotations.

NEW YORK COTTON
 AL|TTLE IRREGULAR
Market Opens Steady and Closes With General
 List Unchanged

New York, June So.-The circulation of near month liquidation in the cotton mar ket here today and fluctuations were ir- regular. Otherwise, however, there was very little feature and after selling off to 12.91c. July closed at 13.02c, with the general list closing steady net unchanged to points higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of l to points as a result of over night covering orders, but there was very little demand in evidence and prices turned easier right after the call. Scat tering July liquidation seemed to find comparatively few buyers around the ring and the easier ruling of the near month appeared to bring lit tie pressure against new crop deliveries. This came partly from Liver pool sources during the early trading and new crop months worked about to 4 points net lower during the middle of the day. July meanwhile sold ' points under last nights closing figures, but the offerings of the near month were absorbed as the difference widenei out to about 25 points under October, and as soon as July steadied, later deliveries ral- lied to about shade over last night s closing figures. General business was
 
 to mean that scattering accounts had pretty well evened up for over the gov ernment report tomorrow and the holiday early next week. Five private crop re- ports were published during the day with the condition figures ranging from 7S5 to S0.6 per cent. The average of the pri- vate reports issued during the past few days has been 79.6 per cent. compared with 79.S last month and the talk around the ring has reflected quite a general expectation that the government report tomorrow morning will be slightly under the 1O-year average of SOP per cent. Pri- vate acreage reports have ranged from about to F per cent increase as com pared with last year. Clearances from New York continue, and it is rumored that considerable more cotton is to be shipped out in the near future, as houses with Liverpool connections have been stopping July notices.
