 MONTHS OLD BABY
Mrs. Hawkins Was So Weak Couldn't Move in Her Bed
 Without Help.

 For years" continued Mrs. flaw kins. "I suffered with rheumatism and acute indigestion. The rheumatism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was ter rible l couldn't lift my siX-months-old baby, and had to hire someone to wait on ne and do my work. l was so nervous the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating. l couldn't eat any solid food at all and was in such rundown condition my baby fell off until it was just little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time. No kind of medicine did me any good and l was getting worse all the time.
 If ever medicine did wonders, Tanlac did it for me and my little ha- by. l felt better in just a few days after began taking it. 1 have taken three bottles and I am not nervous in the least now and my sleep iS fine and rests me The awful rheumatic pains and misery is all gone l can eat any thing l want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as little pig and sits for hours at a time on a pallet and plays with out a whimper.

MORE EVIDENCE IN
 GERMAN SPY PLOT
CHARGED COMPLETE WIRELESS PLANT SHIPPED INTO MEXICO
 SUSPECT MAY TELL ALL.
MANY LETTERS ARE SEIZED
Expected That TrancIation Will Open Way To Full Revelation Of Alleged Conspiracy To Send Military h.
 formation To Germany.

New York.-Evidence that two con. plete high-powered wireless installa- tions assembled here were shipped piecemeal to Mexico, supposedly for use of German spy system in this country, was unearthed in connection with the arrest of three men on charges of conspiring to send mall containing military information from the United States to Germany through members of Norwegian ship crews.
 It was intimated by the United States commissioner before whom the alleged plotters were arraigned that it was through their instrumentality that advance news of the impending arrival in England of the American destroyer fleet was sent to Germany before il even became generally lnown in this country.
 With only scratching of the sur face of the mass of evidence in gov. crnment hands. indications have been found that tho secret mail system was operated both ways between the Unit. ed States. Germany and Mexico. Sew eral hundred letters have been seized. written in English. German and Span. ish and some apparently in code. They are being translated in the ex. pcctatien that they Will open the way to full revelations of the alleged spy plot
 The prisoners are Harry r, Periss' and Irving Bouaparto. both sad to pe American born. employed ny Ger man electrical company here. and Axel r. Merchar. said 10 be natural izcd citizen from Sweden. They are charged with eonspiring to induce members of the crews of the steam ships Bercensflord and Krisiianiaf' ford. both chartered to carry regular United States mails, 10 take letters and packages from this country des' tined fer Germany. in violation of the law prohibiting competition with the United States mail. but Ii was said ly the government authorities that the investigation would continue with view to determining whether treason had been committed
 When the three were arraigned bail was hxed at Sa5 900 for Perissi and Bonaparte and seo .00o for Merchar. Upon objection by counsel for the men to these amounts as excessive. Commissioner Hitchcock said.
 "TheSe are unusual times, and while the people of our own country did not even know of the departure otA our destroyers. il was published four days ahead of their arrival in England in the papers in Berlin. and it my un. derstanding that the government has il in mind that this case is part and parcel of the same inquiry
 That others are implicated and that the men under arrest are willing tc tell all they know was indicated by counsel for Honaparte. who said his client was willing to help the govern ment in every way Tn his power. perls- si. speaking in his own behalf said: "l did not start this conspiracy the mail came to mc first from others and had nothing fo do with the crews of tho ships

NEW HIGH RECORD |. FOR COTTON PRICES
Measuring Advice From Russia Factor in Ex-
 cited Advance

New York, May 1s.-The buying move ment which started in the cotton mar ket following the announcement of the Russian loan of Wednesday, became even more active and excited during this mornings trading. All deliveries made new high ground for the movement, with the new crop establishing new high records for the season, and with October contracts selling at 20.2Sc or no less than S2 per bale above last nights closing flg- ures Realizing was active enough at this level to cause reactions, while sen tinent was somewhat unsettled by con- flicting rumors as to the Russian situa- ton. but the madket closed steady at a net advance of 13 to 2 points.
 The market opened steady at decline of 13 points on May, but generally un- changed to points higher. There was considerable scattered realizing owing to the continued good weather, but the offerings were very quickly taken on a steady broadening demand which came largely from Wall street and western sources.
 Stop orders were uncovered as prices t OOIhc iiSHer, Wllu July SelllIl& up to 2o.62c and December to 20S2c and Jan uary to 20.3sc shortly after midday, with the general list showing net advances of from 40 t 42 points.
 The reassuring early advices from Rus sia, reports of further Italian successes and rumors of unsettled conditions in Bulgaria. were factors on the advance, While there was also buying on reports of an improved demand for cotton goods, Profit taking became very heavy at the advance, however, and the market was disturbed early in the afternoon by the circulation of a runor that a truce might be patched up between Germany and Russia. For few minutes liquida- tion was active and excited and there was quick break of 2S to 37 points from the best, after which the market steadied on the appearance of fresh buying or ders with later fluctuations irregular Closing prices showed reactions of about IS to 2S points from the high level of ths day.

Received Over w. E. Campbell's Private Wire).
 New Orleans May 18-Pronounced
 strength was displayed by cotton today
 the market rising strongly to the highest
 prices since the middle of April in the face of considerable liquidation and. the rumor that Germany and Russia were
 about to effect a truce. The rise was based on general demand, stimulated by reports of a much better spot inquiry
 mand was due, apparently to the outlook for resumption of export outlet as tho result of the curbing of German subma- rines.
 The gossip of the morning said that the west was a conspicuous buyer. that large spot firms were in the market and also that Japanese interests were taking hold in a large way. Locally. it was stated that spot people were again doing business with England. Early in the day the market here was said to be at % cents for middl{ng with considerable busi- ness done. Shreveport wired that 1500 bales had been sold there at % cents. With the advance based on the most legitimate of reasons, an improving spot demand and new crop accounts uniform ly unfavorable, we see no reason why the market should not work to higher levels. although after such an advance, reactions must be expected. We think those who take profits on further bulges with the view of replacing on reactions will adopt a profitable course.

STEADY BUSINESS
 IN REGULAR LINES
Dun's Review Gives Inter-
 esting Statement of Busi- ness Conditions

New York, May 1S.-Dunn's review tomorrow will say: Regular business holds up. remarkably well. considering the many hindrances. with retail trade in some sections responding to im- proved weather and grain crop pros poets are more promising Yet the period of low temperatures was too prolonged to make the best results in spring distribution possible and the accumulations of merchandise reflect to some extent the influence of the extreme prices.
 While there is still full employment of labor and wage advances have con tinued, the tendency toward economy among consumers is spreading and this is evident not only in foodstuffs, but also in dry goods and footwear. The lessened buying of necessities, however, has not yet lowered costs perceptibly, and in many primary channels the large expenditures for military supplies act as a sustaining factor. Pressure on most of the lead ing industries has increased rather than slackened though in some quar- ters ordinary demands are held in abeyance pending more definite knowi- edge as to the requirements of the government. With strikes of minor importance in certain branches and more skilled hands needed than are available, maintenance of manufac- turing outputs is in some cases i'm difficulty in moving materials and practicable and operations nearly ev- everywhere continued hindered by the products to a point of destination.

SHARP REVERSAL
 ONSTOCK MARKET
Increased Cost of Operation Set Back Prices of
 Standard Shares

New York, May 1S.-Time-worn peace rumors and adoption by the House of the measure providing for a retroactive tax on incomes caused a sharp reversal in the stock market today after an early period of general strength.
 The short interest used these develop ments to renew it's attacks upon quoted values. Their efforts were enhanced by weakness in automobile shares and heaviness in shippings and inactive spe- cialties. Lowest prices were made in the steady offerings of the last hour, when many early gains of one to three points were replaced by net losses of as much
 Transactions were smaller in volume than the million share output of the pre- vious session and dealings were less di- versfied. United States Steel and kin dred industrials equipments, munitions, metals, shippings and a few specialties of the class represented by Industrial Alcohol, made up the great bulk of the days business.
 United States Steel made the new rec ord of 1227s for the year. before it fell back two points, and closed at 121A, a net loss or B points. It gave a better account of itself than others of the same group, except Westinghouse, which made a net gain of 1% at 53.
 For want of a definite reason, the set back in Motors was ascribed to trade conditions, notably the increased cost of operations. General Motors suffered an extra loss of points, Chandler lost and Studebaker, Maxwell and Willys-Over- land reacted to 3 points.
 Shl pings fell away steady the failure of @ Mercantile Marine directors to act tn deferred preferred dividends be- Ing accounted an adverse factor Ma rine preferred dropped S1s points and At lantic, Gulf and West Indies made a similar decline. Pacific Mail, however, retained all its 1h-point gain.
 Metals and oils were among the other reactionary issues with low-priced rails, chief among the latter being Denver and Rio Grande preferred, which fell 5 points on a few sales. High grade rails forfeited most of the forenoon advances , of to 2 points.
 Bonds were irregular on marrow trad ing. Total sales. par value, amounted to $2,960,O00

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, May 1s.-Assertions that large quantities of wheat on the Pacific coast had been bought for export and would be rushed overland to the Atlantic led today to decided upswing in prices of future deliveries here. The market closed strong, to cents net higher with july at 2.2Sc and September 2.O6c Corn gained &c to 2izc; oats, 1hc to 11zc, and pro- visions, 12d15c to SSc.
 It was apparent almost from the outset that the wheat market had overcome to a great extent the extreme pessimisni displayed during the previous days of the week. Ever since new buying of future deliveries had been artificially restricted the bear side of the trading seemed un. til today to have a virtual monopoly oi attention. Declines, however, had beer grew more and more cautious. It was not before the receipt of news about ex porters being active on the Pacific coas that the market jumped upward in goot earnest
 Dry weather and crop backwardness 1T the northern section of the domestic win ter belt attracted more attention. anc 50 likewise did estimates that Canadian wheat acreage this season would show z decrease compared with last year. Fa vorable weather and crop news had onil transient bearish effect on corn. Fail urs of cash premiums to weaken acted soon as much more than an offset. Oat! developed independent strength owing tc free buying on the part of houses witt seaboard connections. It was said ex, port sales of oats in all positions aggre- gated 100000 bushels.
 Firmness of the markets for coarse grain and for hogs lifted the value o provisions.
