Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, March 7.-(Special )-Liver- pool has not shown the same strength that this market has during the past week, leading many to believe that the advance was due to arbitrage buying in market where the short interest had be- come expanded, and in vulnerable posi- tion. This buying was upon such a scale as to cause the short interest to cover. thus enabling the arbtrage broker to sell in Liverpool without difficulty at the advance Today this demand seemed to have been supplied so that in the afternoon, on some southern selling, prices slowly declined some 20 points be- low last evening.
 There is little or no change in the fac tors surrounding the market. American spirners are doing an excellent busI- ress, Manchester reports good demand from China and We hear rumors of somewhat lower freight rates. There is not, however, any active speculation for an advance based on an investment de- mand for permanent improvement in prices.

Ayery'S Letter

The cotton market today was strong during the first half-hour and the ini- tial demand carried July in New York to 12.06c. New Orleans market was closed on account of Mardi Gras holi- day.
 The early strength and with July above 12 cents invited hedge selling, as I anticipated several days ago. How ever, much of this was said to be by Liverpool and likely there was a cer- tain amount of hedging on account of the freight congestion at eastern ports.
 Prices closed at net decline of 20 points from. the high and about Is points under yesterdays final figures.
 A slow advance I would regard as being healthier than rapid one. Fur thermore, any big advance at this par ticular time would be an incentive to increase the acreage, which would be fatal to a sustained advance.
 Outside business was limited today on account of the New Orleans holi- day.
 Still advise buying July on moderate reactions. c. +. AVERY.

Ell Paso, April Reports here to-
day from Mexican sources, supported
the story brought from the interior
Yesterday by a Mexican to the effect
that Villa, with a few of his most
trusted followers. was far to the south
of Satevo and nearing ParraL One
report said that the bandit had reach
ed that town but it was generally
believed that this report was at least
premature.
There is little question any longer
on the border that Villa is heading
for Torreon. in the neigh borhood of
which city he would find Canuto
Reyes ,one of his most trusted lieu
tenants.
Both Mexicans and Americans who
know Villa personally have little
doubt as to the tactics he is trying
to pursue. They say that the fugi-
tive bandit is not alarmed over any
opposition he may meet from his
countryrnen but that he is devoting all
his energies to planning the discom-
future of the American forces whom
he fears almost as much as he
hates.
According to these observers, Villa
is anxious to push far south as
possible with the purpose of stretch
ing out the already thin lines of COM
p1un1Cat1On( OF the Americans TO the
breaking point. With the compare
lively few men under the command of
General Pershing "a line of conmuni-
cation 400 or 500 miles long becomes
a serious problem. Torreon is 500
miles from Columbus as the crow
flies and a, far greater distance by the
winding trails that are the only roads
across northern Chihuahua The free
use of the Mexican railroads for the
transportation of both men and sup
plies would, of course, upset Villas

General Pershing's problem. Army

belief that some arrangements with
the de facto government for the use

tanced his pursuers in his flight

have wounded only four, the Mexican
climate has been more inconsiderate

RUSSIA PROTESTS
. AGAINST SINKING
OF HOSPITAL SHIP

Petrograd, April 4.-The following is
the text of the formal note which the
Russian government has sent to all
the neutral governments protesting
against the destruction of the Russian
hospital ship Portugal:
1.-THE Russian hospital ship Portu-
gal, with a Franco-Russian crew and
a proper sanitary staff on board, was
cruising in the Black Sea, It's destlna-
o'clock in the morning, the ship
stopped off Cape F'atieh in order to
permit one of the vessels accompany
ing her to pump out water which was
hindering progress. At this moment
a submarine approached the station
ary ship, circ1ed her and suddenly fired
two torpedoes from a distance of about
so metres.
Zone of the torpedoes missed but the
other exploded in the engine room, of
the vessel, which sank at once. A
Russian torpedo boat, which happened
to be in the neighorhood, was able to
save 15s persons out of the 273 aboard.
All the others, including IA ladies of
the Red Cross, so doctors and male
and female nurses, Russian sailors,
and 90 French, persisted.
ttThe Portugal bore all the distinc-
tive signs prescribed by the special
agreement which was signed at The
Hague in 1908 and which applies to
naval warfare the principles Of the
Geneva, convention. An exchange of
notes between the Russian, Turkish
and Bulgarian governments accepting
these principles, guaranteed similar
immunities to hospital ships in the
Black Sea-
this attack was made exclude all pos
sibflity of a mistake having been made
by the submarine. 1t was a deliberate

MILITIA CALLED OUT
TO 0UELL HAVERHILL
RIOT OVER SCHOOLS

Haverhill, Mass, April "A trail
of broken glass wask the only visible
evidence of remaining today of the
disturbance of last night when a mob
held the city in it's power for several
hours and smashed many windows.
The local militia company, which
had been called out to aid the police
returned to the armory. No arrests
were made. Several persons were in
jured by flying missiles but no one
was seriously hurt. The trouble was
the result of efforts of Thomas E. Ley
den,- Somervil1e, to deliver an adj
dress on state aid for sectarian
schools.
Last night an audience gathered in
the hall where Leyden was prepared
to speak Before he could begin an
immense crowd had formed about the
building and became SO threatening
that the meeting was abandoned Ley

GENE1RAD OANo LOYAL.

Washington, April All doubt on
the part of administration officials as
to the loyalty of General Cano, one of
Carranza's commanders appears to

Villa forces ON the same day that
the American cavalry scattered the
main bandit column at Guerrero.

police managed to force the crowd
back and closed the door.
With angry shouts the crowd began
throwing stones and Jumps of coal.
Nearly every window in the city hall
was partly broken.
When it was found that the police
were determined to keep the hall
closed, portions of the crowd went to
the other parts and attacked the resi-
dences of persons who had assisted
in arranging for Leyden's address.
They also made a target of the Ma
tiona1 club, where one of Leyden's
friends had taken refuge. The dam
age done was confined almost entirely
to the breaking of windows. The dis
order did not cease until the militia
was called out by the mayor and took
charge. F.T

Women Should Support Hughes

"Wilson kept us out of war" is
merely the slogan of the unthink-
ing, whereas Wilson keeps us out
of suffrage" is a positive fact. Since
taking office he has been the head
and front Of the opposition to the
federal suffrage amendment. He
has defended his opposition in state
ments made to fourteen or more
deputations of women, and to prom
inent men of his party, including
western congressman, who went ask
ing his support. His statements,
contradictory each to each, are i'm
portant because they show that the
president has not dealt fairly and
honestly with this issue.
To the first deputation sent oh
March 28, 1913, he said that he
was too busy with tariff and cur
rency bills to assist woman suffrage.
Six months later-that he was mot
an individual" but "the spokesman
of a party" and could not urge leg
islation which was not in his plat
form. Later to a delegation of 500
club women he told of his passion
for local self-government," and how
suffrage was a matter for settle
ment only by the states, etc, etc.
To a deputation of Voting Women
(Dec. 9th, 1916) he said he was
"open minded" and would confer
with his colleagues on this matter.
to a non-voting delegation six weeks
later, he reverted to the estate by
state" excuse.
In June of this year, in answer to
a prominent democratic man who
went to him direct from the women's
party convention to urge a change
of attitude, so as not to drive demo-
cratic women from the party, the
president replied: eve must not
yield to arguments of expediency;
and besides, the women can't deliver
the vote" On July 2Sth, he refused
the request of western democratic
congressman to allow the amendment
to be voted on in the house, where
upon the leader said to the women,
He doesn't care what happens to
us. He prefers to get the support
of the anti-suffrage element in the
big eastern states than to yield to
sentiment in the western states"
Yes, Mr.. Wilson voted for suf-
frage in New Jersey, knowing it
could not win with "Boss Jim" NJ
gent against it, the same man now
reported as his campaign manager
in that state. Being at that very
responsible for the blocking of the
federal suffrage amendment, Mr..
Wilson said, Il intend to vote for
