In M,Kaig Suit

Bismarck, NJ, D., Nov. 25.--W. G.
Bissell of Gooding, Ida, counsel for
former Governor Frank R. Goodlng,
who recently was defeated for U. 5.
senator by a majority of 80 votes
in favor of Nugent, who had the en-
dorsement Of the Nonpartisan league,
is here procuring affidavits and 9TH
er evidences to be used in the de-
tense OF Gooding in libel suit
brought by Rev. McKaig, a former
North Dakota preacher who resigned
the mastership Of the state Grange
to become secretary for Townley in
Idaho.
McKaig claims he has been dam
aged to the extent Of $4,000 by the
use by Cooling in his campaign
against the league Of a story which
appeared in The Bismarck Tribune
during the trial of Kate Richards
O'Hare commenting upon the appar-
entity effusively friendly manner IN
which McKaig greeted the defendant
during one Of tho courts for league
svnnpathizers which she held dur'0
each recess. McKaig positively de-
mics that he had anything to do with
Mrs. O'Hare or that he was friendly
toward her or sympathized with her.
Attorney Bissen is here seeking arm
davits from spectators and officers
of the court supporting Ex-Governor
Gooding's charges.

New Orleans Futures

New orleans, December H.-Builish sentiment again governed the cotton market today. sending prices up on the opening and keeping them at the advance until late in the session when the trad ing months were 37 to 76 points up. Real izing sales were well absorbed until right on the close, when they caused small reaction, last prices showing net gains or 1T to 69 points, The ristant months were stronger than the near, reversing the conditions of the early part of the week.
 No new features appear to account TOT the buying, except the cabled reports from Europe that there was chance that a million tons of shipping might be diverted to the American export trade. The demand was based, as usual Of late, entirely on the strength of the spot sit uation. Locally, spots were marked up another 25 points, which carried middlins to 3013c The January position at the toprlost levels of the day sold at z.ooc.
 Btarish items in the weekly statisucs were entirely ignored. Mill takings were small, the intosight was large and the visible supply showed a large increase for the week, against small increase this week last year and decrease this week two years ago. Wet weather over much of the belt helped the buyers be- cause of it's interference with picking the remnants of the crop

How Probation Law Works

The case of Sophie Doneson as an ii- lustration of the workings of the proba- ton law is described by Zoe Beckley in the Peoples Home Journal in an article on ''The Court of Mercy" Sophie Donel- son, country girl, stole some silk stockings in department store and was taken before Judge Edwin l.. Garvin, of the court of special sessions in Brook lyn. Judge Garvin paroled Sophie to Mary Bland. a probation officer. who got her a position, watched over her and finally saw her a successful and trusted department head in a big store.
 "All over the land," says Judge Gar win, ''are women who are just as mad for beautiful clothes and good times as was little Sophie Donelson. The only diff ference is that fate or chance gives these others the things they crave. Some father or husband buys happiness for them. No one bought 1t for Sophie. So Sophie. having no resources, tried to take it for herself.'
 Thirty or forty years ago.v continues Judge Garvin, the law would have sent Sophie to Jail or to a reformatory and she would have emerged worse than she went in. There was no probation then no system whereby society, through the courts, supervises, dsciplines and pun ishes those who have broken the law without committing them to a penal or reformatory institution-which is the actual definition of probation"

COTTON WAS ACTIVE FOR RAHALF SESSION
Close Was Steady at Net Ad- vance of 16 to 76 Points
 Over Close of Friday

New York, December 21.-The cot ton market was unusually active for a Saturday half-session and there waa uary sold up to 2S.79c, making a net advance of 8 points, while one of the features was the increasing interest in the late months with July selling up to % o2c, of so points net higher. The close was steady at a net advance of ie D 7S roints.
 There was some irregularity at the start a result of realizing for over the weekend, December opening 25 points higher while other months were 10 points lower to 10 points higher. Of ferings were quickly absorbed, how ever. by trade buying of near months and an increasing commission house de- mand for later deliveries.
 The reports from Paris that million tons of shipping was to be released from the army service for export trade seemed to be attracting good oeal Of attention and were considered one or the more important factors on the e9d- vance. Local brokers also mentioned the reports of moro confident tone in the goods market as one of the~fea- lures. December contracts sold up to 3055c and March 27.T0c during the late morning, making net advances or 5e to 80 points on the general list. 'she greater activity of the late months at tracted considerable attenlon and prob ably encouraged bullish sentiment around the ring as Indicating wider interest in the market.
 Brokers operating for some or the larger trade interests were reported good buyers of March and there was also buying attributed 10 Japanese in- teresls and South Atlantic spot people. Manchester cables lerorted very dull market for goods and some of the looms stopping owing to the lack Of orders.

THE ATLANTIC
 INTRACOSTAL CANAL
tcontinued from Page Twenty

comes from the Chesapeake bay and the south through here on it's way north. The engineers of the war department estimate that a free canal will have sev- eral million tons of freight per annum. This canal is for sale, and about 12 years ago a commission headed by Gen. Felix Agnus made a report to the war depart ment that S2,50O,0o0 would be fair price for the property. understand the com pany now wants more, and so far it has been impossible to agree upon the price. The department of justice has been asked to condemn the canal in order that it may be bought by the government. The cost of developing it according to the new plans will be $10.000,000 or more. The Angus commission estimated it at upwards of S12,000,0O0.
 In connection with the improvement of which I have written will come the widening and deepening of the water ways which connect the Chesapeake bay with Beaufort, N. c. These include the Dismal Swamp canal and the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal which join Chesa- peake bay with Albermarle sound and Pamlico sound, thus giving hundreds of miles of inclosed waterway. l am told that the Norfolk and Beaufort canal sys- tenn can be easily dredged and that thero
  point to prevent the construction of ship canal. The canals now in opera tion have been in use for many years The Dismal Swamp canal was first talked of in 17S7, and the national gov ernment subscribed $2o0,o00 for 1t along in the twenties The canal was improved before the civil war and a good many years ago the government recommended that it be widened and deepened at cost of less than s2,oOo,0OO. This did not materialize. This canal has a surface width of 60 feet and vessels drawing eight feet six inches can pass through II.
 The present project for an inland waterway was adopted by Congress Tn 1912 It provides for canal 12 feet deep at low water, at an estimated cost oi about s5,400,000 Up to the present con eress has appropriated more than one hauf of this money. It has bought the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal, and IS dredging it out to a depth of F rect. Twenty-six miles of channel have been dredged, and this will probably be con tinued. although the canal may be wid- ened and deepened.
 The four canals running from Nortn Carolina to Cape Cod all told are nov more than 100 miles long, but they Will add more than 1000 miles of protected watersways to the busiest parts of the in dustrial east They will connect witn the Hudson river and Erie canal. or the New York State Barge canal, as It IS now called. and thus join the great lakes py a short water cut to the east ana the south. In addition to their military value they will relieve our railroad conges- tion and have an important part In the prest manufacturing development, which, fostered by the war. is bound to De even greater in peace.

ticularly in the spinning industry in Flu rope
 So far exports to Europe are the small est in many years past and as stocks of the raw material and of cotton goods abroad were reduced to the point of ex- haustion at the close of last season, the urgent need of an immense amount Of raw cotton in foreign countries in self evident.
 Compared with the past two years the worlds visible supply of American cotton is 3,234,0o0 bales against S,017.00 and A. 439,o00, of which 2,5T7 GOO is in the United States against 2,275,000 and 4,430,0o0 of which 2,5T7,000 is in the United States against 2.275.00o and 2,7l3000 in Europe and afloat only s57,oo0 compared with S02,ooJ and 1,726,000 of which Liverpool is ered- ited with 327,OO0 against 441.000 and 902,ooo.
 A Paris press cable is to effect that arrangements have been made by which 100000 tons of shipping will be re- leased from the army supply and diverted to export trade to aid industries in chang ing from war to peace basis.
 Some people consider prices for the staple in the south good, but if they would refer to the present value of good middling in Liverpool, 22.20d per wound, or 44.40 cents, they would discover that the English market is 1927 cents per pound higher than good middling in New Orleans, which is 3l13c. Notwithstand- ing this fact the Lancashire spinning margin November 22 was 29.42d a pound against 1257d last year. 6.35d the year be- fore last and 2.66d in 1914.
 Prospects are for decided reduction in the ocean freight rate on cotton to Europe early next year. The present rate to Liverpool is about 6c per pound or $30 per bale. 1t is rumored today that bookings to Liverpool, January ship ment, have been made at $2.S5 per loO pounds; for February March, $1.50. or only s7.5o per bale, or s22.50 per bale lower than the current rate. If this is fact, and it seems possible, there is likely to be a big increase in the demand for cot ton by next spring. Therefore, buying. especially on depressions, seems to De advisable.-B. & B.

Cotton Goods Review

Naw York. December 21-Cotton goods markets have steadicd consider ablv during the week as a result Of definition of government policies con corning allowances for cancelled con- tracts and the announcement Of an a agreement between merchants and the surplus property division for the dis- nosjt;on of war goods not now re- quirsd.
 Tn a moderatc amount of trading prices have recovered on print cloth numbers hc yard and sales totaling ahout 100 oo0 pieces were reported. The Automobile trade has placed further orders on wide twills of special con- strrctions at prices about per cent under the last government levels.
 The iobbers are not making sacri- fices to any extent to move their goods and the retail movement continues satisfactorily.
 Colored cotton goods are holding the,r values steadily and have at no time declined in the ratio seen in brown and gray goods. Among manu- facturers and selling agents the opin- ion preyails that costs cannot decline much while cotton and lapor snow their present tendency and they have made concessions only of some meas ure of the war profits

Over Campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, December I.-SurprislnB strength was shown by cotton today, the market firming up rapidly from the open ing in the face of the bearish weekend statistics and any tendency to react under realizing which might naturally De expected at the end of the week follow ing several sessions of pullish activity. Late in the day the active months were 32 to 56 points up.
 The same influence was at work, the strength of the spot situation. Buying became general soon after the first cali on the belief that the near future will tions as the result of the announcement from Paris that about 100000 tons of shipping will be diverted from carrying troops to the American export trade, owing to changes in the war programme In other words, the pressure to move troops is not interfering with commerce to the extent expected.
 Mill takings of American cotton tnis week was only 21 900 bales against Sss,- 600 this week last year and 443,ooo this week two years ago. With the strik- ing Lancashire workers back at worK Monday and the results of larger puy- ing and shipping of spots beginning 10 be felt. we think the near future VIII witness an increase in taking.
 A holiday feeling Is to be expected next week, although thus far the mar ket has been free of it. With reactions a higher range of values is to be ex- pected.
 Toward the end the advance was wid- ensd to S7 to 76 points. The close showed net gains of r to 69 points.-Shepard x Gluck.
