SPREAD or CAR
STRIKE CERTAIN

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Tie-up Of
the 1921 cars that operate on the
$50 miles of surface tracks on the
New York city railways within IL
hours, seemed certain shortly be-
fore noon today when the confer
ence, called by Mayor Mitchell, be-
TWEEN union and company represen-
tatives, failed 70 reach an agree
ment. Eight thousand men are af-
fected.
Such an addition to the lines on
which strikes already have been de
clared would bring the total mileage
directly affected up to 1,010, the
number OF cars up ALAS, and the
number OF men to 1880.
Recognition OF the Amslgamated
Association OF Street and Electric
Railway employees was the point on
which the conference struck snag.
Union leaders insisted upon such
recognition. President Theodore p .
Shonts. OF the New York city rail-
ways, refused TO admit even that
the men are dissatisfied.

PRICES OPEN HIGH
 BUT SLUMP LATER
August Closes { Points Up-- Other Deliveries 2 to Points DOwn-ReactiOns of } to 10 Points Checked.

New York, Aug. 1l.-A sharp early advance in the cotton market was fol- lowed by increased offerings with De- cember contracts selling off from 14.51 Ito 14.36 in the late trading and clos ing steady at 1430. The general list closed steady at an advance of ' points on August, but from , to 8 points net lower on all the other de- hveries.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 15 to IS points with active months selling 19 to 22 points net higher during the early trading. This was in response to the strong show ing in Liverpool, while sentiment also was influenced by reports that promi- nent authorities both in New Orleans and Memphis had published crop re- views indicating further deterioration. Buying had the further encouragement of the early weather map, showing no rain of importance in the Southwest oNNl oNilbeS ''ild ISpOl tS OA e tlOplNelA disturbance in the Caribbean.
 At the advance of about p to 90 points from the low levels of Satur- day morning the market evidently met increased offerings. Reactions of some to 10 points were checked by the publication of the detailed weather reports, showing very high tempera- lures as well as continued dry wea- ther over most of Texas and all of Oklahoma, and moderate rallies fol- lowed during the middle of the day, but offerings increased and the mar ket became unsettled during the after noon.
 Reports that Southern hedging or ders were beginning to reach the mar kets here and at New Orleans un- doubtedly encouraged reactionary sen timent October contracts broke from 14.33 to 14.05 and January sold off from 14.62 to 14.32. The close was a shade up from the lowest on covering. The census report on supply and dis tribution will be issued at 10 o'cloci. tomorrow morning.
 Cotton closed steady.

IROQUOiS FIRE VICTIM
 AT LAST FINDS MOTHER

Syracuse, N. r., Aug. 15.-A re- markable story of the result of the Iroquois theatre fire in Chicago, in 1903, involving a happy reunion of mother and son in this city, has just come to light here.
 Unexpected and unheralded, Milton Simmons walked into his mothers home here after having been missing since the day that Chicago was awe stricken by the destruction of the lro- quois theatre with heavy loss of life
 Every possible means of search had been resorted to to locate the missing son. but without avail.
 Simmons was employed in the thea Ire at the time of the fire. He oper- ated spot light in the gallery. When the fire was discovered he leaped sixty feet to the main floor of the theatre where he crawled over bodies to one of the exits and was pulled out un- conscious. His head and back were badly injured.
 After four months in hospital he recovered and went to Tipton, Ind, to engage in business. In that city he married. Later he moved to Kokomo, Ind. where he engaged in the con- tracting business.
 Meanwhile his mind was a blank re- garding parts of his past. He could not recall the whereabouts of his parents. He thought them dead.

PRESCOTT RECEIVES
 FIRST l0l6 BALE
Raised by Enis Washington, COl0red, on Farm of l.. ]. Bry.
 son, Three Miles East of Pres cOtt-BrOught 23c at Auction

The first bale of 1916 cotton was re- ceived here this morning and was sold at auction by A. NJ. Ellsworth on East Elm and Front streets. The bale weighed 435 pounds and was classed as good middling. It was grown by Enis Washington, colored, on the plan ta tion of l.. J. Bryson, three miles east of Prescott on route number three. r The total amount received by Wash ington for his cotton was something over $100.00, about 23 cents per pounds. The highest bid was made by Messrs. Dan Pittman and Jno. A. Davis and as soon as they became owners of the staple they sold it to B. R. Oastler, of Philadelphia, who is Ia representative of Lesser Goldman Cotton Company.
 This is somewhat earlier for our first bale of cotton and when the price of the seed is added to the amount re- ceived it will pay the grower hand somely for the trouble he took to pick it.
 There have been only about a half dozen bales of this years cotton picked to date Hope received bale yesterday but portion of it was raised in Nevada county on Battles plantation near Emmet.

Newcastle, ,on-Tyne, Aug 15.-A fine piece of seamanship on the part of Major H. Burton, an officer of the Royal Engineers and superintendent of the Tynemouth motor lifaboat, has been rewarded by the board of direc- tors with their famous decoration known as "The American Cross of Honor"
 Just how this title came to be given to the decoration is not known The award is issued every two years to the person who has performed the most heroic deed in life-saving during that period.
 It was on October 30, l914, that Major Burton took out the ifeboat to proceed to the rescue of the wrecked hospital ship Rohilla and m the face of terrific gale and a raging sea brought the Tynemouth motor lifeboat all the way back to Whitby, in York shire with a number of the saved crew on board-a distance of forty-four sea miles.
 In the course of this wonderful voy- age the Major kept up the hearts and spirits of all on board and navigated the lifeboat through the night and storm unaided by coast lights or any other means of reaching his objective, The coast lights, of course, were eX- tinguished on account of the war.
