 Repudiate Militants

Anniston, June .)-The sui fragists of Anniston, at meeting held Thursday afternoon repudiated the ac- ton of their sisters in Washington who have been picketing the entrance to the White House grounds, displaying ban ners of an unpatrotic nature and other wise acting in truly Pankhurstian man ner. even to the extent of getting them selves locked up in jail as martyrs to the cause'
 The members of the local chapter of the American Suffrage association are anxious to have the public know that the Washington malcontents do not belong to the same association, but to the Congress sional Union for Women, which is made up of suffragists of militant type. Resolutions were adopted condemning the action of the Washington picketers as disloyal, unpatriotic, un-American and calculated to hurt the suffrage cause.

New York, June 29.-While less active,
 the cotton market has showed continued
 wide fluctuations during the past week.

 The advance which followed the break
 caused by the temporary closing of Liver
 pool futures last week evidently was stim-
 ulated by low private condition figures

 contracts Trade interests. particularly
 people with Japanese and Canadian con-
 nections. were again credited with buying new crop deliveries on the advance, which
 carried october contracts up to the 2i-
 cent level on Wednesday, This made an
 upward movement of no less than 260
 points or SIS per bale from the low level
 of the previous week and was followed Iby reactions under realizing. October
 contracts sold off to 2615c or about So
 points from the best, closing tonight at 26. 39c. Business was fairly active on the advances earlier in the week. but be-
 came quiet later, with trade buying less in evidence Owing to the July premium it had been anticipated that nearly the whole inspected stock of cotton here, amounting to over 10000 bales, would be represented in the first July notices. Tne notices, however, were estimated at less than 20OO bales. Further notices are ex- pected during the month and stocks of cotton here have been slowly increaslSg, although the supply inspected is still less than 15,OOO bales Further advances have been reported in ocean freight rates, which are now quoted at $6 per 100 from New York to Liverpool Scattered show CTS and rains reported in the southwest have partially relieved drouthly condi- tions, but private reports have complained that more Is needed

PROBE IN POLICE
 METHODS ID BRING
 OTHERS INTO NET

New York June 29-Leonard M. Wall
 stein, commissioner of accounts, who is
 conducting Mayor Mitchel's inquiry into
 the failure of the police to find the body
 of Ruth Cruger, murdered high school
 student. intimated tonight after he had
 examined Capt. Alonzo Cooper, In charge
 of the fourth branch detective bureau,
 that on the strength of Cooper's testi-
 mony late today he might prefer charges
 against him to Police Commissioner Woods.
 During the examination the commis- sioner accused Cooper of unwillingness to aid him. The detective captains answers frequently were so evasive that Wall stein showed anger. The commissioner expressed the opinion that Cooper prob ably was the man responsible for the apparent indifference of the fourth branch bureau in searching for the body. The hearing was adjourned until July after Cooper testified.
 Cooper was forced to admit on the stand that the tools in Alfredo Cocchi's shop where the body was found should have
 been examined for evidence of crime. He could give no explanation for falling to
 direct his men to do so. Cooper also tes- tified that when he visited Cocchi's shop with Detective Sergeant McGee he did not search the shop but merely talked
 with Mrs. Cocchi. He further admitted
 that the discovery of the channel that led to the finding of the body In the cellar was made by Patrick Solan, who l is not policeman.
