NEW ORLEANS. August 30.-Better
opening of the cotton market here to-
day, which put al but the distant
months to higher levels. The advance
did not hold apparently chiefly because
of the moratorium declared in the COT
ton trade of Egypt. After rise of 4 to
points on the near positions thu
market fell to level of 7 to points
under yesterdays close.
The unfavorable features in the week
1y crop reports and the belief that a
railroad strike would be a bullish fac
tor, temporarily at least, because of its
effect on stocks and the near months
caused moderate buying, on which the
market toward noon stood to 10 points
over yesterdays final price.

London. Jan. l3-Fighting is going
on all around Cottinje, the small town
which nearly year ago ceased to be
the seat OF the Montenegrin govern
ment. Never before in the long his
tory Of the little Montenegrin king
dom has it been compelled to bow to
a foreign conquerer, but there seems
little hope that it can long Withstand
the overwhelming strength OF Gener-
al Koeyess in men and guns.
AS in Serbia's case. the entente
press finds it inexplicable why Italian
assistance was not long ago sent to
Lovien. which, it is said. could have
been rendered impregnable with a
comparatively small number of rein
forcements and few heavy guns.
The reduction og Montenegro, the
press points out, win enable Austria
not only to command the Adriatic but
also TO threaten the flank of any ad-
vance from Saloniki and prevent any
effective move by the entente forces
through Albania
For Italy the new Austrian success
has a most serious aspect The long,
narrow Italian peninsula is pecul-
iarly vulnerable to an attack from the
sea ANY really great Austrian naval
base in the magnificent harbor of Cat
taro would have been impossible with
cut Loyien. but under the new circum-
c+ouror Auct,ian rnccncsin, of Cat
taro is almost as great a menace to
Italy as the German conquest OF Cal
ais would have been to Great Britain.
While attention IS centered on the
developments on the Adriatic coast,
it is announced from Rome that two
Italian transports, the Brindisi and
Citia di Pelermo. last week struck
mines and sunk majority of the
crews were saved

SUIT FOR LOSS
OF Boys EYES
Trial Begun in County Court This
Forenoon
DELAY IN OBTAINING JURY
Walter Hoilister, Through Guardian,
Seeks Judgment Again Charles
p. Oatman Of Bennington.

Trial was begun in county court
this forenoon OF the suit of Walter
Hollister, by his guardian, against
Charles p. Oatman OF this village to
recover $4,000 damages for the loss
OF the boys eyes. Late in the fore.
noon a jury had not been secured.
The panel had been exhausted and 1t
had been necessary to summon six
extra men. This delay would not
have been occasioned but for the fact
that the jury in the Kimball-Leray
alienation case was still out, thus
eliminating II jurymen from service
on the case on trial.
On the night of September IL last
the Holister boy, who is 16 years old,
was shot in the face with a charge of
peas from shotgun while in the act
Of stealing grapes from the Oatman
garden on Pleasant street. The boy
was hurried to the Samaritan hospi-
tai in Troy and remained at the in
stitution for several weeks. At the
hospital it was found that one of the
eyes was completely destroyed and
that the sight OF the other was 50 in
jured that there was no hope of saw
ing it,
Mr.. Oatman was given a prelimi-
nary hearing before Municipal Judge
Holden and held for the grand jury
which met in December. After a
hearing the grand jury failed to re-
turn an indictment.
The damage suit was filed soon af-
ter the shooting Collins NJ. Graves

morning they came into court for in.
structions and again retired. Late in
the forenoon they came in with yer.

The verdict was on two counts.
The jury found against the defendant
on the charge of enticing away the
wife of the plaintiff, but on the sec

Washington, Jan 13-Secretary
Lansing with the approval of President
Wilson, yesterday dispatched to Con
sui Stillman at Quertaro. a note de-
nounGing the staying of Americans at
nouncing the Staying of Americans
near chihuahua by Mexican bandits
and calling upon the head of the de-
facto government for the immediate
pursuit, capture and punishment of
the perpetrators of the deed. The
note urged the sending of troops to
other districts where Americans were
in danger of losing their lives or prop
erty. AT the same time, the state de-
partment ordered an investigation of
the murders with view to determin-
ing whether they resulted from the
failure OF the de facto government to
give proper protection in a section
known by it to be dangerous. or
whether the men lost their lives as
the result of bandit outbreak which
could not have been forseen.
Instructions to seek information
were telegraphed to consular repre-
sentatives in Mexico and along the
border. In the note to Gen Carranza
the killing Of the Americans was de
scribed as dastardly crime com
mitted in territory announced to be
in the control OF the Carranza forces.
The men were killed Gen Carranza
was informed. because they were
Americans, after they had gone into
the country with the consent of the
Carranza military authorities.
There was no indication last night
that the United States would take any
further action in the case of the
Americans slain by Villa bandits in
Mexico beyond its demand for the
apprehension and punishment of the
outlaws, or at most to hold Gen
Carranza responsible for the murders
il it is shown that his officials were
negligent in providing protection for
the party. Although the latest out
rage stirred the simmering Mexican
situation again to the boiling point
and drew an outburst of attacks upon
the administration in Congress prob
ably unequalled since the Huerta
crisis two years ago. there was no out
ward sign that President Wilson was
being influenced to alter his policy.
A proposal by Senator Sherman of
Illinois, republican, for joint inter
vention by the pan-American nations
which led in the recognition of Gen.
Carranza was referred without action
to the Senate foreign relations com.
mittee.
