New York. July 1.-The market has been irregular and ner- vous through the vou1me of busi- ness has not been large. The weakness of the early trading due to realizing and hedge selling gave place later to renewed strength on moderate suppor. and disappointed traders who felt that with god weather unsettled labor conditions and pronounced weakness in foreign exchange the reaction should nave gone good deal further.
 There was no special feature to the trading but all active months reached new high ground without much oppo- sition. At some point without doubt liquidation will make it's appearance in urgent fashion and the full extent of the long interest will be disclosed but it looks risky to try to ascertain where that point is located and while we feel that 1t is time to go eau tiously in making purchases we would leave the short side alone. Exports to- day were 7,500 bales.-Post and Flagg.

New Orleans, July 14-Notwithstanding the weather in the interior to have been more favorable the past two weeks, semi monthly private crop condition reports in- dfcate no decided change.
 Returns to the national ginners' asso- citation point to an improvement of Is points while returns to the Memphis Commercial Appeal denote a deteriora- tion of Is points and advices to the Southern Products company, Dallas, Tex. point to deterioration of o.3 of point. It is evident, therefore, that the effect of the better weather on the plant was offset by damage by weevils.

 It was fully an hour before it came into sight again. Mrs. Rohlfs, who had been waiting with patient anxiety, was the first to espy her husbands machine. Taking a pair of field glasses she held him in view until he came to a perfect landing at 1859 o'clock.
 Rushing over to the machine ahead of the crowd of spectators she de- manded. What did you do, Roland ?''
 Rohlfs replied before removing the oxygen mask from his face. I've done it this time," he said. T did more than POO feet better than be- fore"
 At this a burst of applause came from the spectators, and Rohlfs, lean ing over the cockpit of his machine, embraced his wife, who had watched him on all his altitude attempts.
 Discussing his feat, Rohlfs said:
 'I did it in a machine without any supercharger or any other motor ac- cessory I am satisfied that the ma chine cannot go any higher. and am through with altitude flying. It Is too severe a physical strain"

IRISH SOCIETIES DISPLEASED WITH
 WILSON'S REPLY
San Francisco Foes of Treaty Unconvinced By
 Shantung Explanation.

San Francisco, Sept ls-The seven Irish societies of San Francisco, whose members were present in large numbers to hear President Wilson speak in the Auditorium, assume that they have received Mir, wilson's answer to their repeated query, what about Ireland7"
 The talk around the hotels here yesterday Is that President Wilson told his audience In so many words that If they were not willing to sub init their case to the tribunal estab- lished by the league of nations, as set forth in the treaty now before the Senate, their case was not a good one.
 All the talk In Irish circles yester- day was about the Presidents dis cussion Wednesday night of Articles 10 and II, In extolling the work of the conference in framing the treaty, especially Articles 10 and II, the President said: Where before and when before, may I ask some of my fellow countrymen, who want a forum upon which to conduct a hope full agitation, were they ever offered the opportunity to bring their case to the judgment of mankind? If they are not satisfied with that their case Is not good The only case that you ought to bring with diffdence before the great jury of men throughout the world is the case that you cannot es- tablish.''
 Members of the local Irish societies are not satisfied with the Presidents alleged solution of their great pro- blem.

New York, Sept 1s-Roland Rohlfs, Tn Q Curtis Wasp triplane, equipped with a CurtiSs K-12, 400 horsepower motor, shattered sl altitude records yesterday by ascending to a height of SA610 feet The flight through out was officially observed and con- hrme6-
 The entire flight. more than six and a half miles above the level of the sea, was made in one hour and 53 minutes It was made in a machine and with a motor designed and built In America It included a thrilling ride of 20 minutes at the highest alt- tuds ever reached by man in a tenn perature of 49 degrees below zero, It was made in a machine frightened to the last ounce in a determined effort to set a new record Even the floor boards of the fuselage and the fire
 fighting apparatus were taken out, as were most of the usual instruments used by a pilot
 At an altitude of s1,0OO feet the machine became almost uncontrolla- ble in the rarified air It went into a right spin and then into a left spin and 1t was only by desperate effort that Rohlfs was able to control 1t by opening MA0e AllB lIlTOIllB OI Ills HlO- tor. He slipped down 500 feet in the flight
 There is a possibility that when the sealed instruments carried by Rohlfs In the flight have been calibrated, his , altitude will prove to have been more than 35,Oo0 feet: This, however, , will not be known before several days work at the Bureau of Stand ards at yVasbiugtOn
 Yesterdays record flight marked l the fourth time that Rohlfs has as cended more than 3O,OO0 feet in the game machine since last July. In each flight he has beaten all compet- | itors by returning to the same field from which he started.

CALHOUN'S CUTTER ON FIRE BUT NO
 DAMAGE RESULTS

Traffic on the Stratford avenue bridge was held up for more than an hour last night and the police were obliged to establish fire lines to keep back the people who crowded the bridge to witness the fire department and sailors from the destroyer Col houn subdue a fire on one of the cut ters from the destroyer. The blaze was caused by back-fire from the en- zine and most of the upper works of the boat were destroyed before it was extinguished.
 One of the sailors from the Col houn fell overheard during the blazo but was rescued in a short time by a companion who jumped in after him.

Our City

James A O'Shea is a successful
criminal lawyer. He is kept busy al
most seven days a week.
Since he hung out his shingle six
teen years ago he has defended as
many if not more murderers than any
lawyer in Washington. His quick wit
and his ability to extricate clients
from intricate positions has played
prominent part in his success.
Those who knew O'Shea fifteen years
ago could have foretold his success Of
today. At that time Jim had one
of the toughest jobs in town.
He was president, official scorer
and a number of other things for
the Capital City Amateur Baseball
League, an organization of scrappy,
crabby. fiery demons of the diamond.
Three teams, st. Aloysius, st. Ste

on the warpath. O'Shea was the

those teams more than once walk

throw him out.

ing the war. a white oak tree was
