SURVIVORS of Torpedoed Ship
Become Insane With Suffering

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Sufferings of the
survivors Of vessels torpedoed by Ger
man submarines are graphically re-
lated in the official report of A. H.
Blackman, chief officer of the steamer
Alnwick Castle, sunk some time ago.
The submarine, he stated, sped
away without sinking any of the boats
containing the survivors. There were
in the chief officers boat thirty-one
persons, including two women and a
baby of a few months.
The storekeeper became insane and
it was necessary to tie his hands and
feet to prevent him from injuring the
others. A cattleman made four at
temps to jump overheard and finally
succeeded. He was drowned. The
deck boy died in the boat.

Salvaging Wreckage

Far below the surface of Lake Huron divers
are recovering treasure of copper and leather
than was lost when the steamer Pewabic went
down in 1865. The ore and leather has been
lying there all these years because prices so
low that it did not pay salvage companies to re-
claim them.
War prices and war destruction have forced
us to conserve and redeem our resources. Ma
terials that were sold for junk few years ago
are staple commodities on the markets today.
Thousands of pounds of rags and paper that
formerly went into the trash barrel today are be-
ing sold at handsome profit for the thrifty
housewife.
Americans are learning the lessons of thrift.
One of the by-profits of the war is the incul-
cation of economy and thrift which needed.

The Old Man Gets a Chance

Many an old man who is pining away because
he could not get job is getting back into the
running these days when the young men are be-
ing drafted for military service and industry and
business is stopping up the holes in it's lists of
employees.
A few years ago the Pennsylvania railroad
would not employ man more than forty-five
years old. Today it will accept men up to seven
ty years.
The United States Steel corporation has had
rigid rule against unskilled men more than thir-
ty-five, and mechanics above forty-five. The
corporation is relaxing this regulation.
Thousands of men, capable of doing days
work, have been left stranded on the shores of
our industrial system because they had passed
the middle of life's span. The only reason was
that corporations believed they could not do a
full days work.
None of them seemed to realize that these
discards could be made useful members of the or
ganization merely by grading their pay according
to their output. They had the skill and the ex-
perience, but were deficient in quantity.
The corporations by their shortsighted policy
barred some of the finest mechanics in the coun-
try. Now they are realizing that these men are
valuable assets, and they are bringing them back
into the organization by offering them wages
commensurate with their output.

Mayor Robbins permitted justice to be thwarted

The Taxpayers Do Not Want Police Judge

The Taxpayers Do Not Want Police Judge
The police records for the last six months are
Illuminating evidence of the little time which the
mayor spends in police court.
They prove conclusvely that legal knowledge
is not necessary in that court.
They show that any man with good common
sense can administer justice there.
A police Judge in Richmond would be.a NUM-
cipal ornament, costing $1,000 annually, paid for
by the taxpayers of the community.
police Judge would not put in enough time
to Justify him drawing his pay.
police Judge would not relieve the mayor OF
work, because the mayor will have less work
next year than he has had this year
A police Judge would be another political Of
flee for which there would be scramble and for
which the taxpayers would pay the salary.
The demand for police Judge did not origi-
nate from violators of the law who received in
Justice and foul play in that court.
The demand for a police judge, according to
his own statement, came from DR.. John M.
Wampler, a physician.
The demand for police judge did not come
from men who have studied the problem OF the
prisoner.
The demand for a police judge did not come
from persons interested in judicial reform who
saw justice miscarrying under the present ar
rangement.
No cogent reason for the creation of the Of
flee has been adduced.
It is an unwarranted expenditure of the pub
lie funds.
1t creates new office, the need of which does
not exist.
It will give another man chance to feed at
the public crib.
The supporters Of the movement have not told
the public why the job should be created.
The assertion of Councilman Waidee that a
police Judge would strengthen the police depart
ment reflects on the integrity of both the patrol
men and the mayor. If it is true that politics has

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, April 17.-Although the cotton market held at a decline through out today's session, the tone was steady and toward the end good recuperative power was shown, last prices being at a net loss of 1 to ' points. At the lowest of the session active months were r to 19 points down.
 Poor cables started selling on the open ing and offerings were swelled by the fair weather in the eastern belt and what most traders considered were indications of rains in the western belt. Higher temperatures over the belt generally were considered highly favorable. Bearish
 comment pointed to expectations of a fa- vorable weekly crop report from the weather bureau tomorrow.
 Fresh buying for long account was discouraged by the conservative attitude adopted by many brokers and traders who took the view that it would be wise

 l burden of huge war expenditures
 l Reports that a large jobbing house was offering large quantities of cotton goods under the market was made use of exten- sively by bearish traders, but this and other bearish features were offset in the afternoon by the refusal of spots to fol- low futures. Middling was quoted un- changed at 19.S1o pound, which, com- pared with 19.15c for May, at the low of the day.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York April 17.-(Special.) )-Rather to the surprise of the local trade, Liver pool was sharply lower this morning. pr1- vate dispatches reporting liquidation from the continent in consequence of the bet ter weather, which was reported from the south.
 Here, the market was lower early in sympathy with the cables, but the volume Of business was small, and there ap- peared to be some demand for the new crops from the trade. which was suf- ficient to hold very quiet market. Weather conditions in the eastern belt are very satisfactory and there is a pos sibility that more rain fell in the south- west, although none was reported today. The local feeling continues to be rather bullish, although there is some disap- pointment at the lack of speculation, which is due to the uneasiness in the se- curities market and the anticipation of heavy taxing measures in connection with the financing of the war.

TRADING IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET
Favorable View of Weather Conditions Caused Decline,
 But Market Steadied

New York, April 1.-The cotton market was less active today and fluctuations were irregular within a range of 15 to 1e points After selling at 19.7Oc early. July rallied to 19.s5c, eased off to 19.7c, and closed at 19S5c, with the general list closing steady, net 10 points lower to points higher.
 The market opened steady at decline of to 15 points in response to relatively easy cables and the more favorable view of weather conditions. Active months sold about 12 to 1e points net lower shortly after the call, with May declining to 20.14c and Octboer to 18.55c. Prices then steadied on buying of new crop months by trade interests and covering which was pro- noted by reports of easier ocean freights and southern advices indicating that in creased planting of foodstuffs in some sections might lead to reduction in the acreage originally contemplated for cot ton. May contracts sold up to 20 25c and October to 1S.66e, or about 10 to 15 points from the low level of the morning. This bulge appeared to meet realizing, how ever, and the market eased off again dur ing the early afternoon on reports or increased spot offerings, and the favorable detailed weather reports of the western belt. The setback carried prices to about the low point of the morning with May selling at 20.13c, or 16 points net lower, but houses with Liverpool connections were buyers of new crop months later, and the close was at practically the best point of the day on most of the active positions. It was reported that ocean freight room was available for Liverpool at $2.50 per hundred and there was buy ing of October here against sales abroad in expectation of narrower differences. The easier ruling of freights also encour- aged talk of larger exports, as a good deal of the cotton held at ports is be- lieved to be earmarked for foreign ship ments soon as freight room is available. Rumors of submarines off the Atlantic coast attracted a good deal of attention, but were hardly a market factor.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, April 17.-Wheat prices crashed down headlong today ss much as 1Ezc
 because of wild selling, chiefly the result
 of government action which made mill
 lions of bushels of Canadian wheat in
 the United States free of duty, and which
 opened the door for importing without
 limit wheat into this country from
 Canada. After a day of tumult the mar
 ket closed unsettled SEC to 12c net lower,
 with May at SPA to s2.2434 and July, s1.9OA to s1.91h. Corn lost 414c to 51zc net, oats Pc to 25sc, and provisions 42c to $1o2.
 Violently contrasting conditions faced
 the wheat trade at the opening as com
 pared with the bullish outlook of the day
 before, when the market had jumped
 up 13Ac and seemed on the verge of a
 frenzied further rise because of threat
 ened scarcity of supplies. Instead of a
 dearth of wheat for immediate delivery
 and to fill May contracts, the prospect
 had altered SO radically overnight that
 indication pointed to possibility of large
 shipments to Minneapolis and Chicago from Winnipeg if 100000 bushels or Canadian bonded wheat at Duluth should
 prove insufficient to remove any exist ing contingency. In consequence, it was
 nearly as difficult to sell wheat to ad- vantage here today as 1t was difficult yesterday to buy. Collapse in wheat val
 ues because of much greater extent in tho last hour of the session owing largely to reports of German submarine opera tions near the American Atlantic coast and because of peace talk which was en- couraged by rumors of big entente vic- tory over the Germans in France. Other bearish factors included the administra- tion embargo bill at Washington and the fact that heavy rains were in progress where needed for the growth of the do-
 mestic winter crop.
 Corn was influenced almost wholly by the action of wheat. Reports of a like lihood of government regulation of hog prices counted also as a factor in carry ing down the corn market. Oats weak ened with other cereals. The widening of the spread between Canadian and American oats was said to have stopped the buying of Canadian oats for Euro pean government
 Active liquidating sales by holders formed the rule in provisions. Chances
 of federal control of packing houses gave impetus to unloading and so, too, did the sharp descent of the corn market.
