REPUDlATES ORGANIZATION BUT STANDS BY HUGHES
 AND RUNS AS REPUBLICAN

The following is a copy of a telegram sent by Delegate Wickersham to the Re publican politicians of the First division. In it he makes it clear that he will run as a Republican candidate for delegate Tn con gress standing upon the Republican plat form, but refusing to recognize the party machine. Its main interest to Alaskans lies in the fact that MT Wickersham comes out in open opposition to President Wilson and the Democratic administration, which here tofore he has stated that he supported:

DEVOTION OF OLD SERVANT
 OPENED DOOR TO WEALTH

James Hobart Moore, millionaire promoter and manufacturer, was laid to rest recently in Oak fill cemetery at Lake Geneva He sleeps by the side of his only son, in the family mausoleum says the Chicago Herald. Hundreds of his friends were present in the graveyard, and business and social friends who had come on the special train from Chicago, the entire millionaire colony Of Lake Geneva, the men and women who had reason to remember him for his klnd- nesses. They were sincere in thelr gret, but he who seemed to be the chief mourner, because of the overwhelming grief that could be read upon his face, had been the head coachman of the Moore household for more than twenty years.
 He stood apart from the throng an old man, grizzled and bent, and he kept hls eyes upon the casket until the crypt re ceived it. He had no eyes for any of the mourners His cheeks were wet with tears, his lips moved constantly, but gave no sound
 He is William Beatty, and the dead man had been his best friend His relations With his employer present parallel to the story of the lion and the mouse.
 Beatty had worked for MT Moore for some wears when one day the vast posses sions of the employer were taken from him by turn of the markets wheel of fortune
 The multimillionaire, as the result of his Diamond Match operations, had become a pauper over night. There were debts and liabilities that he could not pay. It was difficult to secure loans with which to start life anew.
 q was in an awful fix" MT. Moore used to say in telling the story. q was worth less than nothing, and l was wondering what could do what I would have to do,

to get back on my feet, when Beatty came rapping on the door.
 "He had been to the bank and taken out every dollar he had saved. His pockets bulged with the money-S2, 900. He was nervous and a bit shy, and for few mo- ments I didn't know what he was trying to say.
 Then that old trump held out the money to me.
 "Take it, he said got it from you, and you're welcome to keep it as long as you want to. 1 know it's only drop in the bucket to you, sir, but maybe 1t will be the means of making another fortune for you.'"
 The loan was accepted no security offered or asked for; no promises sought or made, but out of the coachman's mustard seed there grew an enormous plant When MT. Moore died he left his widow an estate valued at $50O0O0O0
 Mir. Moore used the sum to tide him over some minor transactions which paid him great profits and re-established his credit. Then came the organization of the Ameri- can Tin Plate Company, in which MT. Moore was the prime mover; the National Steel, the American Steel Hoop and other steel company concerns, with a combined cap ttalization of S187, 100000, which were ab- sorbed by the United States Steel Corpora ton.
 The lion never forgot the service of the mouse. He paid back the S200O many times over and placed the mouse in the way ot making investments that netted him over $100,000. Today Beatty Is said to be the richest coachman in the world.
 He put part of his money in a plantation in Tennessee, but his affection and loyalty were so deep that he continued to work foI his friend

SMALL ADVANCE ON COTTON MARKET
Late Trading Developed Sudden Strength Resulting
 in Sensational Spurt

New Orleans, January 2S.-Cotton felt the force of selling pressure again in the early selling here today and declined 9 to F pounds. Realizing on large scale set in among the shorts, and before the day was very old was the chief influ- ence at work. The demand gradually in- creased, and after the posting of the weekly statistics, which were considered very bullish, the ring found it impossible to meet the inquiry. The decline was re- covered and a small net advance was established in the early afternoon. Sud- den strength developed little later, which resulted in a sensational squirt on the close. At the best prices were 9 to 14 points over yesterdays final quota tions. The close was to P points over. From the lowest to the highest there was a rise of 19 to 26 points.
 A feature of the day was the claim from Texas that buyers were bidding quar- ter of a cent over market quotations for spots without being able to move any cotton. Hester made mill takings of American for the week 340,000 bales against 159,0 ,0O0 this week last year. The visible supply of American showed de- crease for the week of 5S,000 bales against an increase this week last year of 36S,00O bales a relative loss of 421 coo bales.
