Roosevelt at Rest
Simple Ceremonies Marked the
Last Scene of Strenuous
Life.

Oyster Bay, Jan. S.-EXcept for two
sons, absent in France as soldiers, the
family of Col. Roosevelt assembled in
the living room at Sycamore Hill
shortly before noon for the first Of
the trinity Of services held at home,
church and grave, with which the
body of the noted American was laid
at rest as private citizen Of this
Long Island village.
Mrs. Roosevelt, sharing her hos
bands antipathy to funeral ceremony,
decided not to attend the chdrch ser
vices but to join the procession at the
grave.
The home service of praye, alone
lasted only about five minutes. The
casket was borne to the hearse by
family servants.
The same element Of simplicity
marked the church and grave services,
which were attended by about five
hundred relatives, friends and former
associates of the late president.
Col Roosevelt's body was carried
into Christ Episcopal Church short
ly before o'clock. Simple funeral
service Immediately begun.

warsaw, Sunday, Jan. (By the
Essociated Press) s).-Members Of the
Conservative and Liberal parties Of
poland. under the leadership Of Prince
Hustache Sapieha, made an attempt
early today to gain control of the gov
ernment because General Pilsudski,
the dictator, refused to reorganize the
rabinet and admit other parties than
the Socialists.
The attempt to this hour apparently
had been unsuccessful. The day passed
without casualties except for the ac-
ssaaentaT killing Of one soldier, who
attempted to prevent the arrest of NJ.

Nervous Cotton Market
Reported That Southern Senator
Will Introduce Bill of Wide
Importance.

New York, Jan. 6.-The cotton
market was extremely nervous and
unsettled today owing to a renewal OF
more or less general liquidation,
Southern and Liverpool selling.
Nervousness was increased by reports
from Washington that one of the
Southern senators would intorduce
bill in congress TO amend one section
of cotton futures act to prevent the
delivery of tinges and stains on con-
tract, while. there was no selling on
reports from the goods trade that
lower prices would be necessary to
bring i'm a normal or pre-war volume
of demand.
The general list closed steady at a
met decline of So to 60 points.
The market was unsettled from
he start First prices were Sc points
lower to points higher with the
ear months relatively weak owing
to lower Liverpool cables, Liverpool
cling and the circulation Of add
tional January notices estimated at
about 500 bales There was a feel
ing early that the break in Liverpool
reflected the Improvement in ship
ping conditions but the Liverpool sell
ing hardly seemed in line with tbs
talk of narrowing differences be-
tween American and foreign mar
kets, and the market continued weak
during the middle Of the day. Con-
siderable attention was attracted by
reports from the dry goods trade that
domestic buyers were unwilling to
pav present high prices and increased
Southern selling here probably led to
apprehensions of increased spot offer
ings. There was no definite indication
Of such pressure, however, while
there was some trade buying on the
decline and after selling at 27 rs for
January and 25.15 for May the mar
ket rallied several points on cover

clared that his department has un-
earthed evidence that secret agents
of Lenine and Trctzky have reached
this city with fund Of nearly $780,

poses
These agents, it was said, have been
circulating in work shops and facto-
ries. holding secret meetings, which
eliminated today in the opening ses-
sion of three-day convention in the
Lander Lyceum building.
The prime purpose of this conven-
ton is said to be absorbed into the
Bolsheviki movement in this and 9TH

anarchists and Radical Socialists. Ell
forts also are being made to gain an
ahliation with the Workers 1nterna-
tional Industrial Union, the Workers

to include a program for weaving
away from the American Federation

German factories either by lack Of
raw materials or markets for the fin

thousands of men into idleness and in
evitabl lead to Bolshevisnn.
