CONCRESSMAN GOOD- WHY'S PLANS ENDORSED
cocretary McAdoo Approves Ar kansas Representatives Sug- cested Amendment to Ship ming Bill Extend Provisions.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 17.-Sec- .otorv McAdoo. III a hearing today be- foro the house committee on Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries, endorsed Congressman W. S. Goodwin's pro- rosed amendment to the shipping bill which would extend the provisions of the act.
 Mr. Goodwin's suggestion was that tbo money which would accrue to the sale of ships under the provisions of tbe act to be used in the purchase and construction of other ships.
 The act at present provides that s5O,OOO,OOO may be used in the con struction, purchase and sale of ships, and no provision is made that when this fund shall have been extended as provided any amounts that would ac- crue from the sale may be used again. The provision of the bill stops with the exhaustion of the amount author ized. Mr. Goodwin pointed out that with no additional appropriation, a number now contemplated could be secured and both Secretary McAdoo and the committee approved the plan, although it has not yet been em- bodied in the bill.
 Evidence was also brought by Mr. Goodwin to the effect that the ship ping trust is now charging from four to ten times the rate obtained in nor nal times for overseas shipment. He showed that cotton was being carried for from S15 to SIS per bale, as against S1.25 in times of peace, and that wheat from Seattle. Wash, to Liverpool is 72 cents per bushel against IS cents normally.

WHISkEY ELECTION
 DATE MARCH 18TH
Reports From Over County In- dicate That Hard Fight Will be Urged by PrOhibitionists to Prevent Return of Saloons.

On Saturday, March IS, the voters of Bowie county will again vote for and against the sale of liquor by law. With the el ection just one month from today it is indicated that the campaign will be quiet.
 The matter was definitely decided yesterday morning when Rollin w.. Rodgers of Texarkana presented d petition asking for the election. The petition contained 335 signatures and was accepted by the commissioners. They then set the date of the election which is as far off as they possibly could make it according to law. The law requires the commissioners to order the election any time between fifteen and thirty days after the or der is issued. This was done. it is said to give the prohibitionists more time to make 8 fight. The antis wanted the election called for the ear ly part of March.
 It has been intimated by those favoring the return of the saloon in Texarkana that they will not wage an expensive campaign. but will work quietly and put men in all DOT tions of the county to handle their side of the issue. It is known that many who worked for prohibition in the 1912 campaign have changed their views and some are even work ing now for the return of ths sa- loon.
 Another important feature of the campaign, it is said, will be the court records at Boston, which some of the antis say will be known to the voters before the election. They con tend the county is put to an enor- nous expense trying cases for viola ton of the liquor laws.
 Prohibitonists in Texarkana and other sections of the county are lin- ing up for the campaign. Prohibit ton leaders in Texarkana assert they feel no danger of an anti victory, but they intend to fight the issue from every angle.
 The saloons were voted out of Tex arkana in 1910. They closed in April of that year, just after the Arkansas side went dry as the result of the winning their fight in the Miller county circuit court in the Three Mile case.
 An attempt was made to vote the saloons back to Texarkana, Texas, May II, 1912. The total dry majority for the county was 236. The four wards of Texarkana returned wet

COTTON MARKET
 TAKES A PLUNGE
Sharp Break Comes From Heavy Near-MOnth LiquidatiOn-3-20 Points Off at Close of Market Yesterday.

New York, Feb. 17.-There was a very severe break in the cotton mar ket here today, under heavy near month liquidation, which sent all the active old crop months to the lowest levels reached since early last au- tumn. March contracts broke to 11.32c, or 36 points under last nights closing figures, and more than 20 per pound under the high record of the season. Rallies followed with March closing at 11.50c, and with the gen eral list closing steady at a net de- cline of to 20 points.
 Liverpool was about as due and the market here opened steady, at de- cline of 2 to points on old crop months, but from to points higher on later deliveries. Near months soon sold off another point or two. but houses with Liverpool connections were fair buyers here, while there was considerable scattered covering and the market ruled fairly steady during the morning. with prices work ing back to abort last nights closing figures on near months, while new crop positions sold about 1 to 6 points net higher,
 After the close abroad there was less demand around the local ring, however, and the market weakened during the early afternoon, under a greatly increased volume of March and May liquidation. May contracts sold off to 1l,5Jc and July to 11.S0c, or 20 to 35 points under last nights closing figures, while the new crop sold about 14 to t9 points net lower. As the differences between months broadened out to about carrying charges, trade interests bought active ly taking near months against sales of later deliveries, while there was also active covering of shorts and considerable buying against calling by spinners. This relieved the pressure against the market and prices later rallied some l5 or IS points from the lowest in the case of old crop posi- tions, with May selling up to 11.75c.

majority of 243, thus showing that the people of Texarkana want liquor sold legally, but the county boxes ruled on the question. The total vote cast was 2,222.
 The records of the tax collector at Boston show many changes in the voting strength of various boxes this year. Some have increased and oth CTS have decreased. It is said the negro vote this time will be much smaller.
 From reports from various parts of the county and in Texarkana the re- port that the petition would be with drawn because of the lack of interest has not been given consideration even among the prohibitionists. -Texar- kama Four States Press.

 GREATEST WARSHIP
The Mighty Pennsylvania, New Superdreadnaught of U. S.. Navy, Passes Out to Sea For Her Trial Runs.

Newport News, Va, Feb. 1.-The superdreadnought Pennsylvania, the largest battleship yet built for the United States navy, left the plant of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company early today for Rockland, Me, to run the official gov ernment speed and endurance trials. The first two days of the voyage will be devoted to builders tests. The government runs will begin February p, with the standardization trial over the measured mile-course off the Maine port.
 The Pennsylvania, with her main battery of 12 14-inch rifles mounted in four turrets on the center line, is declared by naval experts to be the most powerful seafighter afoat. A broadside shell fire from her big guns would weigh 1S,000 pounds, which is said to be greater than the broadsde of the Queen Elizabeth of the British navy, which mounts eight 15-inch rifles.
 The Pennsylvania is 600 feet long and will have a full load displace- ment of nearly 33,000 tons. She is 97 per cent completed and will be ready for delivery within a few months.

 In nine months the price of gaso- line has more than doubled, and is now quoted at 2I 1-2 cents. The av- craze daily run of jitney is about cost $2.70 for gasoline, in twelvm 150 miles, and ordinarily car will use one gallon of gasoline in twelve miles. A days run will therefore cost $2.70 for gasoline. Add to this the cost of the chauffeur, the license fees, and the depreciation of the car, it is readily seen that the margin of profit becomes very narrow. It is also having it's effect on the owners of pri- vate cars.
