in these days of competition the
film promoter must find some
thing that indicates punch"
with which to caption his features
and so this one is THE Grasp of
Greed. F"
Sensation follows sensation as
the five acts of the photoplay are
unreeled and intermingled with
scores of exciting incidents in a
love story, potent in its appeal
and brought to the happy end

expect in these days of appeal to
popular tastes.

GREENWOOD COTTON RECEIPTS
DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 22-Mr.
Lansing last night declared that he
did not intend to intimate that Unit
ed States was considering and change
in its policy Of neutrality. Analysing
the situation, we all know that the
collapse of war stocks had to come
whenever peace news became sufi-
ciently general and pronounced. "A
sympathetic effect Of decline in stocks
and cotton: was also a foregone con-
clusion but it does not alter the fact
that cotton Is being depressed by de-
velopments which fundamentally are
bullish for the staple. Cotton in this
break probably was carried way below
it's inherent rights of value and the
adjustment most likely will come soon.
Liverpool declined in. sympathy with
decentralization on our side yesterday.
Heavy selling by wall street and the
west mainly was responsible for the

TO AID Al JEWISH (. !.
WAR SUFFERERS
Start Campaign to Raise Ten Million
Dollars During lsl7-Necessary
Even If Peace Declared.
(By Associated Press)

New York, Dec. pa campaign
for the raising Of $10,0O0,O00 during
the year 1917 for the Relief Of jew
ish War Sufferers opened with mass
meeting at Carnegie Hall last night.
The Rev. DR.. Judah L. Magnes, acting
vice chairman Of the American Jewish
Relief Committee who has recently
investigated the condition Of Jews in
Europe, opened the meeting with M
appeal to the Jews Of America to
supplement the generosity by which
they have, since the war began, con-
tributed more than $8,o0O,O0O by q ,su-
preme effort to raise an additional
$10,OOO,O00 during the next year. i
"Those of US in America" he said,
"who have not actually seen with their
own eyes, cannot begin to picture
what it means for whole people to
be on the verge Of starvation, and for
a large part Of that people to be act
ually starving.
"Peace, should it come, will not at
once ameliorate their condition. TIE
devastation has been too great; the
overthrow Of normal economic condi-
tions has been absolute and there will
be for years widows and orphans to
be provided for, aged men to be sue
cored and able bodied men and women
to be found employment.
Il have suggested, and my sugges-
tion has been received with favor,
that the Jews of America raise a fund
of as many millions as there be
needed, to be loaned with interest, to
accomplish this rehabilitation when-
ever it hay be needed. From what we
know of the Jewish people we need
no fears as to the security, for that
is to be found in the character and
racial stability we boast"

Washington, Dec. 22-With the pur-
poses Of President Wilson's note to
the belligerents clarified by official
statements upon the subject, attention
in the United States has turned to the
reception of the note at the foreign
capitals.
Diplomats here are eagerly watch
ing for indications as to whether Eu-

Surprise at the fast growing sign
nifcance of the Presidents move is
expressed on all sides where it is

plated was the receipt Of some sort

MARSHALL CASE
IN LAST COURT
Supreme Bench Considering Contempt
Case of U. s. District Attorney
From New York.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 22--CnrtemDt OF
the House Of Representatives was
charged against United States Dis
trict Attorney H. Snowden Marshall
of New York. The House passed q
resolution June 20 last finding him in
contempt for writing a letter critiz-
ing q House Judiciary subcommittee
in its investigation Of impeachment
charges made against him December
Ia, 1915, by Representative Buchanan
Of Illinois. Speaker Clark issued a
warrant Of arrest for service by Ser
geant-at-arms Robert B. Gordon.
The habeas corpus proceedings fol-
lowed and were expedidited so that in
case of a decision against Mr.. Mar
shall he could be brought before "the
bar" of the House before the present
Congress ends March 4.
Authority Of the House to act as
a court and punish contempts Of its
privileges was denied by Mr.. Mar
shall in his habeas corpus suit against
the Sergeant-at-arms. Federal Judge
Hand of New York dismissed the suit
July 21,s ordered Mr.. Marshall into
custody Of the Sergesnt-at-arms to
appear before the House for punish
ment, and released the district attor-
ney upon his own recognizance pend
ing the Supreme Courts decision upon
his appeal.
That power to punish contempts is
necessary and inherent to the houses
Of Congress in exercise Of their con.
stitutional functions was contented by
attorenys representing the Housed.
Cady Herrick and former Representa-
tives Martin w. Littleton and Henry
H. Goldfogle Of New York.
Representative Buchanan impeach-
ed Mr.. Marshall for alleged miscon-
duct and neglect Of duty in the Oliver
Osborne.Rae Tanner and other cases,
just two weeks before Mr.. Buchanan
and others concerned with Labor's
National Peace Party were indicted
by New York federal grand jury
in connection with an alleged con-
spiracy to foment strikes in Ameri-
can munitions factories. Represen-
tative Buchanan is upon bail awaiting
trial. ~ #,t
In the subsequent impeachment in
vestigation by Representatives Carlin
of Virginia, Gard Of Ohio, and Nelson
Of Wisconsin, Judiciary subcom-
mittee, Mr.. Marshall wrota the letter

to Chairman Carlin which the House
adjudged contemptious. Bad faith in
the subcommittee inquiry was charg-
ed.
Il realized that your effort was to
ruin me-" the letter started, "and my
Office by publishing with your full ap-
proval the complaints Of various per-
sons who have run afoul Of the GRIM
inal law under my administration"
Another passage declared: Il re-
garded Member of Congress who
would take money for an unlawful
purpose from any foreign agent as a
traitor. :. and it was incomprehensi-
BILE how your honorable subcommittee
should rush to the assistance of an
indicted defendant; how you had ap-
parently resolved to prevent prosecu-
tion by causing the district attorney
in charge to be publicly slsndered."
That he told New York newspa-
perman that Representative Carlin
was travelling around with Buchan-
ans counsel, Welsh and David Slade,"
was also stated by Marshall in his
letter, also expressing belief that the
impeachment investigation twas not
in good faith"
The Judiciary committee later rec
commended to the House that no furth-
er action be taken in the impeachment
charges. This is still pending on tho
House calendar and understood to be
awaiting the outcome of the habeas
corpus case.
Before the Supreme Court, counsel
for Mr.. Marshall, former Senator
John c. Spooner, Charles p. Spooner
and former Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Jesse c. Adkins, contended that
the district attorney should be releas-
ed. They asserted that the constitu-
ton does not give Congress power
and it should not be implied--to pun
ish contempts. They insisted that
such a ruling would subject critics of
Congressional acts, including private
individuals and newspaper publishers,
to contempt punishment, although
they conceded Congressional power to
