MARKET IS STEADY
 AFTER NERVOUS DAY
Cotton is Very Irregular, But Close One Off to Three Higher Liverpool Was Shade Bet ter That Due.

New York, Feb. 28.-The cotton market was extremely nervous and irregular today as indicated by the course of May contracts, which, after selling at 11.35c at the opening broke to 11.25c, rallied to 11.39c, and closed at 11.32c. The general list closed steady, net 1 points lower to 3 points higher.
 Liverpool was a shade better than due, which was probably surprise to some of Saturdays late sellers and the market here opened steady, at an advance of points to a decline of 2 points. Demand was not particularly active at the start, however, and the market soon eased off in sympathy with a break in New Orleans and un- der Southern selling. Liverpool was a big buyer on the decline, which car ried July and later deliveries into new low ground for the movement without uncovering any stop orders of consequence and the market ral- lied later on reports of better spot demand in the South.
 New Orleans was slow to improve, but the Southern selling here was less active after the early break and the market worked up to 1l.59c for July, and 11.77c for October, or about , to IS points above Saturdays closing fig ures. Trade interests were moderate buyers on the advance and it was re- ported there was some buying by bag manufacturers, who were being fore ed to substitute cotton for burlap as a hedge against forward business. The undertone was fairly steady at the close, with July quoted at 11.52c, and October at 11.71c. March was rela- lively quiet and steady during the en- tire day.
 Cotton closed steady.

PENSION MEASURE
 ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Congressman Tillman's Bill to Pension Confederate Soldiers -$3O Per Month for Life and $500 Back Pay.
By Clio Harper

Little Rock, Feb. 29.-There is great deal of interest throughout the state in the bill introduced in Con gress by Hon. John Tillman of the Third District, providing for the pen sioning of the ex-Confederate soldiers. Mir. Tillman proposes that the gov ernment shall place every surviving soldier of the Confectionery upon the pension roll at $30 month, or one dollar per day, for life, with $500 each back pay. This is to be defrayed out of fund of $6,OOO,0OO, representing the proceeds of cotton tax collected in the South after the war about which there has been much proposed legis- lation.
 Should this bill become a law, it would mean much to the state of Ar kansas. The state this year paid the ex-Confederate soldiers and the wid- ows, out of a direct tax of 1-2 mills, approximately $640,0O0 This will be increased, in the taxes now being col lected, to mills, as provided by the Legislature of 1915, which will mean that next year the Confederate pen sion roll of the state will amount to about $850,000. The increased levy will, it is estimated, enable the state to pay the pension allowance in full, instead of operating them as has been necessary for years, or practi- cally since the system was inaugur- ated. The levy for general purposes of the state government is only 1-2 mills.
 | Should the Tillman bill pass the state might and probably would dis continue it's own pension system, which would be tremendous saving in taxes. And at the same time the veterans and their widows would be much better provided for than it is possible for the state ever to do. The highest pension paid in the state Is $100 year, and the Tillman bill pro vides that 1t shall be $365 year

ASK FOR WITHDRAW
 AL OF PETITION
Commissioners Will Make Full Investigation of COnditiOns-RailrOad Officials Willing to Improve Service.

Little Rock, Feb. 29.-Twenty-one of the citizens of Hoxie who petition ed the Railroad Commissioner for an order on the Iron Mountain and Frisco railroads for the erection of a union depot at Hoxie, have made application for the withdrawal of the petition. The Commission, however, will not permit the withdrawal of the petition, until a full investigation has been made of the conditions and of the as- surances given by the railroad com panies.
 The application says that Superin- tendent Phil Carroll of the Iron Moun- tain and Superintendent R. F. Carr of the Frisco have conferred with them, and has given them "assuran- ces that they are willing to meet in so far as they can practical sugges- tions looking to the improvement of their service, and the convenience of the travelling public generally at all times, but by reason of severe losses incident to the flood, which even yet have not been met, the erection of a station at HoXie at this time in keep ing with the ideals of the railroad company would necessarily work a great hardship at this time" The companies further agree to remodel the present building, placing it in a strictly sanitary condition, providing janitor service, and such other con- veniences as may be practicable, and that will be satisfactory to the people of Hoxie.

GREAT LAYMEN'S MIS-
 SIONARY CONVENTION
Opens in Little Rock Tomorrow Lasts Over Sunday - Team Distinguished Speakers Will Be Heard.

The entire city of Little Rock, with a reflex enthusiasm that is spreading over the entire state, is this week deeply interested in the great Lay mems Missionary Convention that opens Wednesday and lasts over Sun day. While the politicians and jour neyman country savers are campaign ing over the state for votes, hun dreds of representatives of the var ious Protestant churches are as ear nestly campaigning for souls. There has been an enrolment of about five hundred in this city, and as many are expected from other portions of the state. The railroads have granted a rate of one and one-third fares, and this will encourage the attendance from other towns and cities.
 Registrations are coming in rapid ly. The Methodist pastors here ex- pect very large number of ministers and laymen of that denomination. The Baptist convention is in session here this week, and many of the delegates will remain in the city to attend the Laymen's Convention. Members of the Presbyterian, Christian and Epis- copal churches will also be present in large numbers. The registration is open to the members of all evangel- ical churches.
 A deputation visited Pine Bluff last week. meeting a committee of fifteen laymen and pastors at noon lunch con, which resulted in a special com mittee being appointed in each church of the city to work up the interest. Sunday night committee attended union service of all the churches in Lonoke and presented the cause of the convention to a packed house, de- monstrating that the people are inter- ested in other things than politics. Twenty delegates registered for the convention at the close of the ser vices, and local committee was ap- pointed to secure more. Union meet ings were held Sunday at Benton, England and Scott's, addressed by committees from Little Rock.
 Members of the Little Rock com mittee, all of whom are working without compensation, and with a de- sire only to advance the cause of the church, visited Helena and Jonesboro with literature about the convention, and secured the appointment of local committees to push the work.
 The team of distinguished speakers to be heard in Little Rock will come from Memphis. and there will be among them some of the most notable men in the various denominations participating in the movement. The
 ter-denominationa character of the convention is shown by the fact that the speakers represent the Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Christian churches. The sessions will be held at the lst NJ. E. church, South. Finances will not be men toned, and there will be no collec tions taken or pledges asked for. The sessions will be purely educational and as such will appeal to all good citizens.

Since the United States withheld recognition Of the de facto
government IN Mexico for so long, it would not seem that much harm
could have resulted from a further delay, whereas there is a poss-

in recognizing Huerta or Villa. Such recognition has en-
tailed a responsibility TO assist and uphold the feeble Car
rama administration. And it has led to the present siua-
ton which is fraught with grave danger of a war which
will last more than one year, and a great cost of blood and
treasure
1t is generally admitted, by all factions in Mexico, that an in
