NOTABLE DECREASE
IN ARRESTS DURING
YEAR By SHERIFF
25 PER CENT LESS IN 1917 THAN
IN 1916 ACCORDING TO JAIL
DOCKET IN IL MONTHS.
LAACENY SHOWS FALLING OFF
Sheriff Griffin Thinks Absence Of
Liquor and Better Labor Conditions
Has Reduced Thievery--But Few
Jail Prisoners.

There was a decrease Of rs per
cent in arrests made during the past
year by Sheriff j. Walter Griffin and
his deputies, according to the record
at the Jail, which show 445 arrests in
1917 and $40 arrests in 1916. Ninety
per cent of the arrests last year were
! for petty misdemeanors and the re-
mainder for felonies of minor ma
! turs.
Sheriff Griffin stated this morning
that there had been decided falling
off in arrests not only for drunken
ness and liquor selling but also for
larceny. During the year not more
than so arrests that may be attributed
directly to liquor were docketed, and
only about six of them were made
since the bone dry law went into ef-
feet last March. Only two arrests for
, drunkenness were made during the
last two months, which included the
Christmas season, time in years past
when drunkenness was common.
The decrease in larceny was fea
, ture of the situation in Maury county
that was especially pleasing to Sheriff
. Griffin who said that in other years
: since he has been an officer com
plants of thefts were frequent, He
said that heretofore during extreme
" severe winter weather such as hal
;, been experienced during the past few
F., weeks larceny was more frequnt, blu
that this year there have been bu
:, few complaints of this kind. Thi
:. Improvement the sheriff attributed t
several causes, the principal OF whic
=. was the absence OF liquor. Formerl
. men would spend their money &c
whiskey and then steal something t
=. eat or wear, or they would becom
drunk and commit theft while

- Another reason for the decrease
;, larceny is that labor conditions al
=, better. there is more employment al
better wages are being paid. b
above all, in the opinion OF the SHE
-. if. people are coming to their sens
and are more careful to obey Z
b.. laws.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, May 10-Nervous strength was aroused in cotton here to- day by covering of short contracts and fresh buying for long account, result ing from continued improvement in the spot situation and reports of a much larger movement toward the mills. At the highest of the dax active months were 75 to 103 points over the last prices of yesterday. The close was 3S to AS points up, net.
 Around the opening there was a rise or about Ac, apparently on overnight Duylng. The bullish sentiment of yes terday was carried over and strength ened by the probability of frost in DOT = tons of Arkansas and Oklahoma to- night. A wave of profit taking carried prices off to a net decline of fo II polnts, but the market quickly recov cred and during the remainder of the day stood at net advance. Buying was encouraged by the British opera tion at Ostend, by rumors of large amounts of cotton going on shipboard and reports of continued improvement in the spot demand at interior points- Highest prices were reached late in the day but in the last few minutes of trading bullish operators appeared to be disappointed at the small mill takings for the week. 144,000 bales against 209. 900 this week last year. and they started realizing on large scale bringing about a material reaction from the topmost levels.

No Trouble Between Convict
 Department and Sloss Co.,. States Board President

Montgomery, May 10. - (Special)-W. F. Matthews. president of the state board of convict inspectors, broke q long silence Wednesday when he in formed newspaper representatives that report in Birmingham and Mont gomery that the state proposed to can eel the convict contract of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company if certain improvements in sanitation are not made at once as incorrect. MT. Matthews said the state did not ne- lieve there would be any trouble about the matter. It is the first in- formation he has made public from the convict department in many moons.
 J. W. Mcqueen, president of the Sloss-Sheffield company, has notified the convict department that he will come to Montgomery May 13 for a conference, during which he will be made to understand what changes are desired by the state. He said he had heen absent in New York much of the time recently and for that reason had not been in close touch with affairs concerning state convicts.
 MT. Matthews said some of the mat ters in which the Sloss- Sheffield com pany is concerned had not been set tled because of Mir. McQueen's absence and that no trouble was expected dur ing the conference.

FROSTS IN TIE BELT
 A GRAIN PIT FACTOR
Traders in Oats Were Not Much Alarmed Over the
 Cold Spell

Chicago, May 1o,-Greater confi- dence that seeding would be of nor- nlal extent did good deal today to make corn prices average lower. The market closed heavy at 2asc down to isc advance. with May $l.27fs and July $1.451s Q1451a. oats declined s4 @1ssc net and provisions 5@ roc.
 Indications of quick return of warm, sunshiny weather formed tie chief basis for optimism that planted acreage of corn would reach the av- craze total. Nevertheless, prices tended upward at the outset, owing tc frosts last night and because of oth- CT conditions adverse to field work and to the movement of the crops. AS soon, however, as the official fore cast was out telling of higher ten peratures instead of expected unsca- sonable cold the market at once took a downward swing. The fact that eN- tensive wire trouble had curtailed business, made sentiment easily in- fluenced. but rallies were brief, and the close was at nearly the days low est level.
 Oats traders for the most part leaned to the view that the crop was not far enough advanced to be hurt by frosts. Absence of seaboard de- mand was also a bearish factor. Provisions gave way with grain. Higher quotations on hogs were al- most entirely ignored.

COTTON HOPS ABOUT
 DURING SESSION
General List Closed the Day With Advances From 19
 to 27 Points

l, New York, May 1o.-There were vio- lent fluctuations in the cotton market here today with an advance of approx imately a cent from last nights clos ing figures, followed by reactions of some 70 to 75 points. July contracts sold up to 27. 24c, or s per bale net higher. and closed at 26.50c, with the general list closing barely steady at net advance of 19 to 27 points on all months except May, which was 8 points net lower. The market opened steady at an advance of to 12 points and sold some 15 to 27 points net high CT after the call on a continuation of the buying movement which had been in progress at the close of the pre- vious day. The failure of the early news to confirm yesterdays rumors of important war developments was some thlng or disappointment to recent buyers, however, while the advance from the low level of late last week was sufficient to attract realizing. and there were reactions of several points
 The relative easy ruling of May, at tributed to the circulation of a few notices, was also an unsettling feature put the market quickly firmed up on e1ie AoioSaol TOT lrost Tn parts of Ar kansas and Oklahoma. The appearance Of buying orders from trade sources. accompanied by reports that British buyers were taking lower grades in
 the south. seemed to increase the nery- ousness of shorts during the middle day, and stop orders were uncovered.
 Before buyers were supplied. active
 months had sold 90 to 101 points net
 higher, with October touching 26.55c and December 2642c or 9e0 - ooo
 points above the low level of last Sat- urday The demand then subsided and
 the market broke almost as rapidly as
 1t had advanced under realizing or re-
 newed pressure inspired by reports
 that New England mills were finding difficulty in selling goods and had large supplies of raw cotton on hand.
