New York, Feb. 5-Nhc cotton market showed continued nervousness early today but somewhat irrcgulal and unsettled opening was followed by higher prices on covering anf trade buying, Selling by local aad i Wall Street operators and houses with Liverpool connections prevented a Ilesponse to the higher cables and first prices were 1 to 3 points higher. Of feiings were light after the first batch of selling orders had been absorbed however, and beforc the end of the , first half hour March had sold up tc
 30.5o and May to 29,94, or 27 to 37 points above the closing price of last Saturday.
 Reports that weather conditions were delaying new crop preparations, the continued absence of spot pres sure and the more optimistic view of price fixing seemed to be the factors on the early advance. Demand ta- pered off around 30 cents for May, or about 75 points above the recent low level, however, and the market show ed reaction of 10 to 12 points around midday under realizing
 Trading continued very quiet dur ing the middle of the afternoon with prices holding steady around 3O.93 for May, or 26 points net higher and within points of the early high level.

THIEVES
ARE HELD under
BONDS OF $1,000

Believed to be professional pick
pockets, Theodore Lewis of 100 Sec
ond avenue, New York, and David
Ross of Philadelphia, were before
Judge Bartlett in the City Court to-
day charged with theft from the per-
son. Their cases were continued I'M
til April 20 for further investigation,
and bonds of $1,000 were furnished
in each case.
Ross and Lewis were arrested last
night after a sensational chase by
Policemen Murphy and Minogue of
the Second precinct, when Donata
Creatore of 141 Green street accused
them of picking his pocket while he
was standing in a crowd in Church
street where there was a fire. He
caught hold of one of them and at
tempted to make him give up, but the
other interfered, and both broke
away and ran. Creatore gave chase,
and Joseph Firick of 179 Reilly
street, who found he had been reiev-
of $3.50 he had been saving to buy
Liberty bonds with, Joined the chase.
Ross and Lewis were caught in Penn
broke street, and were identified by
their victims as the men who jostled
them in the crowd. There was a third
man in the party who managed to
make his escape.

ed for the prisoners in the City Court

CAUSED
BY RED HOT STAG

Residents of all parts of the city
were startled about last night by
the sound of two heavy explosions,
which shook the houses and buildings
and gave rise to stories of serious
damage. Investigation revealed the
cause to have been the dumping of a
couple of buckets of red hot Stag into
the harbor at Yellow Mill pond by
employees of the American Tube &
Stamping Co. No one was hurt and
there was no damage.
The Stag is used for filling in at the
edges of the property at Yellow Mill
and the explosions were the result OF
accident in dropping the buckets into
the water too rapidly. When dropped
in suddenly the Stag caused the rapid
formation of steam and the resulting
explosion.

CAPTAIN HULL, HERO OF EARLY
DAYS OF. THE NAVY, HON0RED IN
NAMING OF A SPEEDY DESTROYER

mainnast. Before a half hour had
passed the splendid British ship had
been reduced to dismantled hulk.
The following day; the engagement
having ended as darkness fell, it was
found that the Guerrero was so badly
damaged she could not be saved. Cap
tain Dacres and his crew were taken
aboard the Constitution, and the Guer-
riere was scuttled and set afre.
The superiority of the Constitution
in gunnery and maneuvering was
shown in the casualty lists. The Con-
stitution had but IA killed and
wounded, while the Guerrero lost
seventy mine in killed and wounded.
The Constitution sailed for Boston
with her prisoners, arriving there
August 30th, Congress voted Captain
Hull gold medal, with silver medals
for the officers and $4,000 prize mon
ey for the officers and men.
In his official report of the engage
ment Captain Hull said:
After informing you that so fine
ship as the Guerrero, commanded
by an able and experienced officer, had
been totally dismasted and otherwise
cut to pieces, so as to make her not
worth towing to port, in the short
space of thirty minutes, you can have
no doubt of the gallantry and good
conduct of the officers and ships COM
pany I have the honor to command. It
only remains with me to assure you
that they fought with great bravery
and it gives me great pleasure to say
that from the smallest boy in the ship
to the oldest seaman not a look of
fear was seen. They all went into
action giving three cheers, and re
quested to be laid along side of the
enemy"
Captain Dacres of the Guerrero
describes the conduct of Captain Hull
as that of a brave enemy; the great
est care being taken to prevent the
men losing the slightest article, and
the greatest attention being paid tc
the wounded"
Captain Hull died in Philadelphia
February 13, 1843, after many years
of active service following the war OF
1912.

BABIES SUFFER
FROM DECREASE
IN Milk SUPPLY

Washington, April 17,-How many
babies and little children in Baltimore
are being deprived of sufficient milk
to properly nourish them and the fact
that some are actually getting no milk
at all as the result of a steady decrease
in milk production is brought out by
an investigation by the Children's Bu-
reau of the Department of Labor.
The investigation included 756 child
rem between the ages of and 7 of
whom it was found only 219 had fresh
milk to drink against asa a year ago.
OF those only 20 received much as
three cups a day. Babies under two
Jared slightly better, their needs being
generally understood better than
those of children of two years or
over.
1t was found that 1O7 families
bought no fresh milk at all as against
81 year ago. The families included
one-fourth of all the children under 7.
Substitution of tea and coffee for
milk in children's diet was found pre-
valent That is regarded by the
Children's Bureau as the most seri-
Gus aspect of the investigation. OF
SIS children not drinking milk ass
were found to be drinking tea and cof-
fee and 1913 were sharing the family
diet
The children investigated represented
families with various incomes but the
decreases in the amount of milk pur-
chased was not unlike for families OF
| different earning capacities. Some
mothers seemed to realize that milk
should be provided at any sacrifice
while others who could afford it, the
report says, failed to grasp the i'm
portance of what it meant to the chill.
| dren.
Foreign mothers with very limited
incomes were generally the last to Gu
down on thir children's milk.

PRESENCE OF MIND
AVERTS ACCIDENT

Presence Of mind Displayed by
Thomas H. Keeliny Of 1,150 East Main
street last night probably saved him
from death or serious injury when he
was thrown from his bicycle at Bos-
ton and Seaview avenues by an au-
tomobile. Keeling was riding east in
Boston avenue, was passed by an
automobile, which then suddenly
turned into Seaview avenue, throw
ing him from his bicycle. Both legs
went under the machine, but he
quickly rolled himself out of the way,
and escaped injury. The motorist
stopped, offered assistance, and of
fered to pay any damage, but Keeliny
declined any assistance. He reported
the accident today, but did not take
the name of the motorist.
