EXTRACTION OF
FORMER GERMAN
EMPEROR SOUGHT

| London, Nov. 26.-It is understood
that the question of the extradition
of the former German emperor is be-
ing considered by British law offices
OF the crown, who are working in
close cooperation with the French au-
thorities. Action in the premises was
taken Immediately after the flight of
the former emperor to Holland.
Publication of official reports from
the Bavarian. minister at Berlin to
his home goernment confirm evil
dence already in the hands of the
entente that Germany and Austria
l.conspired to bring about the war. 1t
was for this reason that the terms
of Austrias ultimatum to Serbia
were made so drastis that hostilities
were bound to follow.
The revelations have been pub
lished in Munich after permission
had been asked by the Bavarian
premier and foreign minister of the
German federal government. They
are in the form Of report sent to
Munich on July 18, 1914, by Count
Won Lerchenfield, the Bavarian min
lister at Berlin.
According to the report the de-
livery OF the ultimatum to Serbia
was delayed until after President
Poincare and Premier Viviani, OF
France, had gone to st. Petersburg,
which would make 1t difficult for the
lentente nations to arrive at an un-
Outstanding and take counter meas
lures.
Count Won Lerchenfeld said that
Serbia obviously cannot accept such
conditions as will be laid down"
and that as consequence, there
must be war" He declared that ac-
! tlon on the part of Austria could not
be long delayed "for that might give
Serbia, under pressure from France
Tand Russia, an opportunity to offer
satisfaction.
In a telegram to Munich from
Berlin on July 81, 1914, Count Won
Lerchenfeld said that Sir Edward
Gray's efforts to preserve peace would
certainly not succeed in arresting the
course of events" Later the same day
he wired information as to the ulti-
matums PRUSSIA and France forecast
their rejection by both nations and
told of plans to hurl Germany's armies
against France, which, he said, would
be overwhelmed in four weeks"
On August the 4th the Bavarian
minister outlined Germany's inten-
tion to violate Belgium neutrality, say
ing: THE chief of the general staff
has declared that even British neutral
ity will be paid for too dearly if the
price is respect of Belgium. An attack
on France is possible through Bel

Over w. E. Campbelrs Wire

New Orleans, February 27.-After showing a reactionary tendency in the early trading today. the cotton market made a full recovery in the afternoon and even weNt to a sma net advance.
 Renewed hopes of rain in Texas and a
 new price fixing bill in Congress were me influences working for lever prices.
 It cannot be said that they aroused any ltal selling power. Che reaction was natural after recent advances. and it served the purpose of putting the market
 in moro healthy technical condition.
 On the opening Er;-cs we're 3 to s points higher On buying, based on the dry eather. Immediately after the opening call selling movement developed and
 prices commenced to sag. Offerings were increased by the private forecast of ain for Texas. based on the storm are:l entering the belt over that state At the Lowest levels the active months were sz te g points below the level of yesterday q close. Tn the afternoon on unchanged sou- quotations and reports from Now
 York that New England mills were buy ing spots ir large way in that market and payns high prices. there was a complete recovery and the tone became very steady. In view of the fact that two Erice fixing bills already in Con- eress are s,detracked in committed ye see little reason for worrying over thls latest Attempt at legisiation. There has been 70 change in the situation. and we think the market easily can do better. Snch declines as s'rc'---ed today are ideal

Labor to One of Public
 Representatives on Board
 to Settle Labor Trouble

Washington February g6.-With the selection by employers representatives of former President Taft as one of the two men to serve for the general pub lie, the conference between spokesmen of capital and labor which met today to frame the basis of national labor policy adjourned for a week to permit the workers to name the other member for the public. It was said tonight As- sociate Justice Brandeis of the supreme court might be the selection of labor S representative.
 The conferees met at the call of the government to arrive at an agreement governing their relations during the war. Five men were chosen by the nationai industrial conference board and five by the American Federation of Labor and they, with the two representatives of the public will compose a board of F.
 The selection of Mir. Taft, officials said, would give prestige to the confer ence and impress on the public mind its importance.
 Aside from the desire to formulate a gov opernment--l labor policy, the chief aim of the conference is to find method Of doing away with strikes which might hamper war production. It is believed that both sides will agree to some plan of arbitration, probably by district boards with the right of appeal to general board or department to be established under the department of labor.

POOLING INTERESTS
 ST|FFEN STOCKS
United States Steel Suffered Reaction During the Last
 Hour of Trading

New York, February 27.-Aided by several increased dividends, stimulated by pools related to professional inter ests, today's stock market augmented recent advances in a number of special issues.
 Continental Can directors increased the common dividend from to per cent annually and Chandler Motors was ad- vanced from an to F per cent basis. Intimations that other industrial com Danies are contemplating similar action were credited because. of recent large returns.
 Additional factors of favorable import included the improved state of the iron and steel industry, as indicated by the marked increase of capacity reported by the United States Steel corporation and adviees from Mexico which gave impetus to- the oil division.
 THanscontinenta1s and coalers were the foremost features of the railway dl- vision at gains of 1 to points, minor issues, such as Missouri Pacific preferred. Wabash and Fries, also responded to a moderate inquiry.
 l Utilities were more active than usual, interest centering in Peoples Gas, Con- solidated Gas and American Telephone. Motors and Tobaccos were heavy at all times, the latter yielding to points in connection with proposed stock Is sues.
 United States Steers sharp reaction with coppers brought some irregularity in the last hour, leaders forfeting l to points, Steel closed at net loss of l to 2 points.
 | Bonds were irregular, speculative rails showing heaviness. Liberty issues also based Total sales, par value, aggregated $4,05o, ,O0O.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, February 27,-After re- acting from the prolonged advance in the morning hours today. the cotton ma pket here recovered in the after noon and went to a slight net ad- vance on the strongest months The main influences working for lower prices were the price fixing bill in- troduced in Congress yesterday and private forecasts of rains for Texas. The market came back on trade buy ing and reports of large purchases or spots by eastern mills.
 The opening was at the advance and the most active months were 3 to 8 points upon the first call, buying be- ing based on the absence of rain in Texas Immediately after the call pressure to sell appeared and the mar ket sagged. The storm area just en- tering the belt by way of Texas was taken by bearish traders to mean that the extreme western belt was about to get much needed rain and selling orders increased. At the lowest levels prices were g to 35 points under yes terday's close. In the afternoon the market assumed q steady tone fresh buying came in and early losses were recovered. The close was unchanged to 8 points off compared to yesterdays final quotations

REALIZING WASA
 COTTON FEATURE
Reports of Further Restric- tions on British Imports
 Attract Attention

New York, February 27.-Heavy real izing was encountered on a further ad- vance at the opening of the cotton mar ket today but after breaking from 31 25c to 3o.SSc for May, prices rallied with that delivery closing at 3l 06c The gen eral list closed steady net 15 points higher to points lower. new crop posi- tions being relatively easy on prospects for rain in the southwest.
 The opening advance of to F points reflected the firmness of Liverpool and renewal of yesterdays buying movement, but sentiment seemed to be somewhat unsettled by renewed talk of government price regulation, end theres was good deal of profit taking
 Is It seemed. too, that the advance of approximately Pc a pound from the low prices touched on the late January break was sufficient to create some reaction ary sentiment. At any rate, there was scattered local and southern selling and after the close of Liverpool the mar ket broke to 31.17c for March and 39c for July while October sold off to 29. 36c, or g to 32 points net lower on the more active positions. The volume of liquida- tion then subsided and the market turned frmer during the afternoon on reports of good demand Tor spots out of the local stock.
 Trade interests were buyers, both on the early decline and afternoon rally, which was accompanied by reports that large orders for cotton duck were pend- ing in the domestic goods market. March led the rally, selling at 3l.45c, or into new high ground for the day in the late trading, while other old crop months recovered to about, or shade, over last nights closing figures.
 Reports that further restrictions were likely to be placed upon British lm- ports of raw materials for the textile trade attracted some attention early. but seemed to be offset by the continued strength of the domestic goods mar lSets.
