After Many Weeks.

Washington, Feb. S.-Weeks of in- vestigation by agents of the depart ment of justice resulted in the voting of indictments today at San Francis co against prominent figures in what are considered here, two of the bold est plots that have been uncovered since the European war began.
 Consular officers do not enjoy dip lomatic immunity. The indictments voted today, however, are the first which the American government has attempted to obtain against any for eign representatives. This fact was taken to mean that hereafter the ad- ministration means to prosecute wherever prosecution may lie, any of fender against American neutrality.
 Bott and von Chack are charged with complicity in the plot first un- covered several weeks ago with the arrest of C. C. Crowley, alleged to be pro-German agent undertaken to cripple the American output of muni- tions of war and to help the cause of the Teutonic allies.
 Bott is accused of being the head of conspiracy which hoped to accom- plish this end and prevent railway shipments by blowing up two tunnels of Canadian railroads. The German officials are being nroceeded against under the Sherman Antitrust Act and under a section of the penal code aimed at setting on foot military ex- petitions against a friedly country
 The indictment of the Turkish con- sul general was voted in connection with the steamer Sacramento to SUD- | ply German ships of war in the south Pacific which ended in the internment of that vessel by the Chilean govern ment months ago.

COTTON AGAIN iS
 ON THE UP GRADE
Prices Climb All Day and Close is at 22-24 Point Increase Firmness in Liverpool is the Cause.

New York, Feb. 8.-The cotton market was higher today with May contracts selling up to 12.28c, or 26 points above yesterdays final figures, and closing at 12.26c. The general list closed very steady at net ad- vance of from 22 to "A points.
 The market opened at an advance of 6 to points in response to firm ness in Liverpool. The strength abroad was attributed by some local traders to reports of advances in war risks and there was some local sell ing around the initial figures. This .caused some irregularity, as it was felt that the higher insurance rates was an unfavorable feature from an optimistic standpoint, but Liverpool showed continued strength. which was taken by local bulls as indicating a desire to attract cotton and houses with Liverpool connections were heavy buyers here. Offers conse- quently were we'll absorbed leaving the market comparatively bare on contracts and prices worked up sharp ly in the later trading on reports of an easier situation in ocean freight rates out of New York, favorable political advices and reports of steady Southern spot markets.
 The demand from Liverpool tapered of after the close abroad, but houses with Liverpool connections were buy CTS again late in the afternoon, while there was also some fresh demand from Western and Wall street sources The bulk of the demand, however. was attributed by traders around the ring to covering of shorts, and the limited volume of offerings rendered the market sensitive to the buying movement.
 Reports from Arkansas that the floods were the worst in the history of the state may have contributed to the late advance, which carried March contracts up to 12.09c, July to 12.40c and October to 12.45c, or about 24 to 26 points net higher. ! The market closed within a point or two of the best.

ed by the people to the office of state
superintendent of instruction.
Mr.. Bray spoke upon 1.-THE Utility
of High School Education" One
significant sign of the educational ad-
vancement being made was his state
ment that thirteen years ago there
was no vocational training in n of
the schools in Nevada, with the slight
exception that there was some book
keeping and stenography; but no
manual training, no domestic science.
no agriculture in any school In Ne
To emphasize the progress be-
ing made he stated that during The
recent ~graduations he had seer four
schools where the graduating classes
had made their own dresses-gowns
of beautiful design and workmanship
which would sell in a store for $50
to $100-the material for which cost
less than SIS. G~rauates of the eighth
grade as well as of the High school
made their own dresses. This. Mr..
Bray pointed out, solved the old
problem which has so worried poor
parents in the past, of having their
daughters as well dressed as the
daughters of well-to-do parents at
graduating time. The materials in ALI
the dresses were alike. The utility
in an education of this kind appeals
to every one into whose lives econ
omy must enter, for If a girl can
make a pretty graduation dress she
can always keep herself beautifully
gowned after she leaves school.
In Los Angeles the girls make their
grauation dresses. Mr.. Bray said. and
in 500 other places. he presumed. Not
only do they make their dresses. hut
they make their hats. buying the
shapes or framework and doing the
trimming. These hats are very be-
coming and cost about $1.50 each
There are now only two high schools
in the state that do not have yoca-
tional training.
George f. McCracken, deputy su-
pe~rintendent for the counties OF Hum
boldt and Churchill. spoke briefly
upon Educational Preparedness"
Owing to the lateness of the hour
when his turn came he did not have
sufficient time to fully develop his
theme. His few remarks, however.
showed study and a broad outlook.
He said that II we ever get rid of the
hyphen we will have to take our hats
off to the school system for the part
1t plays.
Mrs Stanley Piper sang two solos
in her beautiful style.
The benediction was pronounced
By Rev. Gates Of the Baptist church.

Could Have Avoided Disaster

my friends, ii was well known, il
was announced almost authoritative
ly, that the Lusitania was to be sunk.
The President of the United States
could have said one word at that time
and there would have been no tragedy
of the Lusitania.
Eve ourselves, my brethren, fail to
appreciate what u country is. You
want to travel abroad and meet in all
in il for all the years that | have to
understand what il means, and you
yant to travel abroad and meet in all
countries the men who rule and the
men who govern and the men who
make public opinion, and gain their
ideas of what this country is.
"All over the world, until within
this recent administration, ii was un-
derstood that in the United States
were potentialities of power, of arms.
of money, of which, concen-
trated, would prevent the country from
being touched; which, concentrated.
and put in any cause anywhere, would
lead to the destruction of the adver-
sary.
"And with that potential power, all
that has ever been needed has been
an authoritative utterance simply and
purely to get what we wanted and to
prevent what we did not want. Amer
lea stands for that and will back IL
up.
