NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, May 12.-Although
the cotton market lost three to five
points around the opening here today,
it had a very steady undertone and
soon advanced on heavy buying based
on the continued peace TAX in Europe

south At the end Of the first hour
trading months showed a net gain Of
p to "A points.
Announcement Of the placing of
large government orders for cloths
and a sudden increase in spot demand
which, it was said, resulted in heavy
spot trading after hours yesterday,
put prices to new high levels, where
they stood 20 to 80 points over yester-
days close late in the session.
Spot cotton closed steady 10
points up Sales on the spot, 1888
bales; to arrive, none. Mlddlmg,
1859.
Cotton futures closed steady at n
decline of II to 16 points.

GAME IS SHOWING
LARGE INCREASE
Sections of Virginia Show Gain
in Wild Life.

Following the very cretitabie show
ing made by the first years operations
OF the department OF game and inland
fisheries az described in the first an
-nual report of Commissioner John S.
Parsons, published exclusively In The
Richmond Nirginian yesterday. the de
partment announced that numerous
reports from it's wardens in all sec
tions OF the state indicate a splendid
increase in game, ranging in many
counties from fifty to one hundred per
cent
There is already reported very
large increase in hunting licenses. In
fact, the receipts being double from
this source over, the corresponding
period of last year.
1t was stated at the commissioner
Office yesterday that Virginias first
years experience had broken all first
year records under state game laws.
The department VIII have q very
creditable display at the state fair, the
federal government cooperating very
literally with the state in displays of
both fish and game.

SoS"NIUN
CAPTAIN k'NAHON
As Foretold In Virgfnian Head of
i. Secret Service Department Goes
TO South Richmond.

As announced exclusively in the
Firginian a week ago. Chief Of Police
Werner yesterday transferred Captain
of Detectives T. j. Mcmahon to a
similar position in Third police dis
trict, and placed Captain Alexander
Wright, of that district at the head
of the secret service department. The
change will become effective on Octo-
Der 18th.
The only reason for the change, as
stated by the chief yesterday. was
for the good Of the service"
Both men are considered capable
officers, and both are brave men,
having faced danger many times
Neither division OF the police depart
nlent will lose by the change 1t has
been rumored that other changes WIN
be made at headquarters, but there
was nothing to base the rumor on
yesterday.
The need for more men at head
quarters has been apparent for some
time, and 1t is quite proba bic that
before the end of the year the detec-
tive force will be enlarged to a size
commensurate with its Importance
Richmond has the smallest secret
service force Of any city its size in
the country. and it is known through

Gasoline Buried 20 Years.

Sparta. Wis.-Workmen making ex-
cavationS at the Normal school came
across a 1.009-gallon tank of gasoline
How and when and why it was buried
was a mystery at first, but later some
old-timers remembered that a score or
more of years ago the institution used
gasoline and that it was purchased in
large quantities at a low price. As a
safety-firSt measure the tank was
buried and through a change in adj
ministration or in some other way the
location of its grave was forgotten.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22-Extenslve
traffic in written communications to
Germany, Austria and Northern Eu.
ropean neutrals, involving the use
Of invisible ink and code system,
has been discovered and stopped by
the customs officials.
It was disclosed the traffic was
conducted largely by Swedish ship
and marine men, scores of whom
were under surveillance. Arrests
soon are probable. The evidence
shows the channel of communication
has been open ever since the United
States entered the war. Officials
suspect much information that Ger
many is known to have received con-
cerning war preparations in America
has been transmitted under an or
ganized scheme, directed by subjects
of neutral countries, assisted by some
Americans.
Twenty per cent of the letters writ
ten in the United States or on ship
board and heretofore sent to Eu-
rope by messenger or members of
ships crews were found to bear mes
sages in invisible ink or to contain
cryptic phrases in suspected code.
