dicating that the German raider has
been at work off the South Ameri-
can coast.
At Norfolk last night there was
picked up wireless warning that a
German raider was off the Brazilian
coast, near Pernambuco, last Friday.
The message, addressed "to all
ships" placed the raider in latitude Z
degrees south and longitude rs de-
grees west.
The German vessel was described
as ship of about 4000 tons, well
armed and with torpedo tubes. She
had one black funnel and two masts.
Rival the "Emden."
The achievements of the German
raider rival the exploits last winter
of the raider Moewe which, after
cruising in the Atlantic for several
weeks, returned safely to a German
J port early in March of 1916. Accord
ing to an official announcement she
had 199 prisoners and 1,000,0 900
marks in gold bars and had sunk
fifteen steamships in addition to lay
| ing mines which destroyed among
other vessels the British battleship
King Edward VII. She also had cap
tured the British liner Appam, which
was sent into Hampton Roads with a
prize crew aboard.
Success raids also were made BY
the German cruisers Emden anc
Karlsruhe, the converted merchant
man Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Kai
ser Wilhelm and the submarine US;
which, last October, sank six mer-
| chantmen off Nantucket.

Happy Old Age.

When old age carries with it hosts
of friends, good health and an
abundance of this worlds goods, it
should be as happy as any period OF
our existence. That is old age as it
should be, but too often it means poor
digestion, torpid bowels, sluggish
liver and a general feeling of Ill
health, dependency and misery. This
condition can be greatly alleviated,
however, by taking one of Chamber
lain's Tablets each day Immediately
after supper. That win strengthen
the digestion, tone up the liver and
regulate the bowels, then that feeling
of dependency will give way to one
of hope and good cheer. Obtainable

TWO GOOD GAMES
BASKET BALLAT THE
Y.M.C.A. LAST NIGHT

Two very interesting games OF
basketball were witnessed at the Z.
M. c. A. last night. The first game
was called at 500. In this game the
B. F. Kings won from their oppon-
ents, the Karos, by the score of 20
to Is. The first half showed the
Karos ahead by 8 points, but during
the second half the Kings tied the
score, thus making an extra five min
utes of play necessary. One goal
was made by the Kings, and decided
the contest in their favor. The sec
ond game, although not as close as
the first, was filled with good team
work and goal throwing. From the
first the Swans Downs took the lead
and held that place throughout the
game, although the Wilson Biggs
made strenuous efforts to wrest it
from them, and the game ended 30
to 20 in favor of the Swans-Downs.
The lineup of the teams is as
follows:

FOUR FISHERMEN
ARE UNDER ARREST

Under authority given by w. c.
Hodges, state shellfish commissioner,
ex-Chief of Police Frank D. Sanders
yesterday morning effected the ar
rests of four fishermen, charging
them with violating the Florida fish
statutes, by taking mullet unlawfully
from the waters of bayou in this
county. The men are alleged to
have employed nets for the catching
of mullet out of season, and it is
said some of them had said fish in
their possession at the time of their
arrest.
The fishermen thus charged are
Clarence FRANCIS, Joe Castro, Tena
Vegeta and Charles Marten. They
were all taken to the county jail, but
soon were able to furnish bond in
the sum of $50 each for preliminary
hearing, on Friday or Saturday of
this week.
This section is the first move
against reported violations of the fish
laws in this and adjoining counties,
and it is said that others are posi-
bic within a short time. It is said
that the specific charge Is that of
taking muIlet out of season, the
closed season lasting from November
20 to January 20.
Season Closes Jan. 20.
Fishermen will be interested in
knowing that the closed season for
mullet will end January 20. The only
exception is the waters of the Suwan-
nee river, where the season closes
January 10 each year.
Section of chapter 6S76, of the
acts of 1915 reads as follows:
"That from and after the passage
of this act it shall be unlawful for
any person, persons, firm or corpor-
alton to catch or to capture, or have
in their possession, or ship any of the
fish known as mullet, or any fresh or
freshly sailed mullet roe, in this
state, between the goth day of No
vember of any year and the goth day
! of January of the next following
year; provided, that in the waters
west of the Suwanee river the closed
season in munet shall be from No
vember 80 to January 10 following
The possession of any fresh or fresh
ly sailed mullet roe, by any person
persons, firm or corporation during
the closed season shall be prima facie
evidence of the violation of the law

COTTON MARKET
 GROWS STRONGER
After Irregular Opening In- creased Strength Devel-
 ops During the Day

New York, February 5.--After some early irregularity today, the cotton mar ket developed increased strength and there was an advance of about $4.50 per bale in prices May contracts sold up from 15.o5c, the low point, to 16.01c, and closed at 15.99c, with the general hst closing strong at net advance of S4 to 30 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of about $7 per bale from the low level of Saturday, which brought in con siderable realizing by buyers on the break of last week, and there was further liQui- dalton. This caused reactions of 25 or 90 points, but offerings were readily ab- sorbed and the market soon steadied, and after comparatively quiet middle session advanced very sharply during the afternoon. In addition to continued trade buying there was an active demand from Wall street and local sources which sent March contracts up to 15.S7c, July to 16. l0c and October to 15.63c, or 85 to 93 points net higher. In the case of May contra cts this meant an advance of S1655 per bale from the low level of last Thursday. There seemed to be no change of senti- ment as to the political outlook and dis patches received here from Berlin during the middle of the afternoon said there would be no modification of plans for Germany's submarine campaign. Buy ing was promoted by the absence of any important selling pressure from the south, which tended to revive confidence in the spot situation, while local bulls considered the action of the market as indicating strong technical position for futures.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 5.-The one out standing influence in the cotton market here today was the report that Spain and Brazil were expected to join this coun- try in It's protest against unrestricted na- val warfare. It strengthened the mar ket when it was showing hesitation, en- corraged a fairly large volume of what floor comment said was the best char acter of buying and finally put prices about 1 cent a pound up from the low est of the day, where they stood 6e to S2 points over Saturdays close. From the lowest to the highest on May there was rise of 103 points, a little over $5 bale. The improvement was well maintained to the close which was at net gain of 64 to 81 points
 In the early trading the market was irregular, October showing an advance of Il points around the first call, while old crops were slightly depressed. Shortly after the call the uncertainties of the political situation had their effect and the market stood at a loss of to 35 points, compared to last weeks close. A report that Austria had indorsed Germany's na- val policy had no effect on prices.
 After the noon hour the market met no selling pressure from any source. and the tone was steadier than for several ses- sions past.
