Over S. R. Stewards Wire


 New Orleans, May 5.-Liverpool showed a sharp reaction in futures and spots. but showed sales of 1000 bales. British consols are again lower, quoted now at 55A. Paris news over Sunday made mixed impression. The further postponement of the presentation of the treaty to the enemy, which will not be made until the latter part of tho week, caused disappointment How ever. this was offset by the news that the council of three invited Italy to resume her place at the conference, and indications are that the break will be healed.
 The uncertainty and suspense in re- gard to developments with the peace treaty during the next three weeks is at present the leading market problem. On the other hand, general trade and financial reports in this country con- tinue to show activity and strength. Dry goods and mill reports are partic- ularly good and the shipping board promises increased commercial tonnage soon. It is rumored here that five steamers are expected during the lat ter part of this month to load for Liverpool.
 An Italian cotton buyer states that there are now only 10000 bales of cot
 
 by Italian mills is 60,000 month.
 Scattered showers occurred over Sum- day, and weather conditions on the whole are favorable. Indications are for partly cloudy weather. local show CTS and cooler over the Atlantics, and the crop report Wednesday should be favorable.
 The market opened from 10 to 30 joints down on the lower Liverpool, but soon recovered nearly all the loss md July traded above Saturdays clos ing figures. Spots are firm, with con- finued good inquiry.
 The market throughout had a nerv- ous tendency and ranged within a narrow limit, 19 points for May, 35 for ruly and AZ for October and December, and closed steady, 3 to 5 points net higher than Saturdays close q Interior markets are quiet and steady It unchanged prices and small busi- ness done.

MISUSED PUBLIC
FUNDS ALLEGED
AFFlDAviTS PURPoHTIN0 TO
SHOW CRIMINAL MISUSE OF
PUBLIC FUNDS
BY the Spruce Production Division OF
the Army Air Service, Collected Dur
Ing the Past Year BY the Providence
(R. ~ Journal.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington.-Atfi purporting
to show criminal misuse of public
funds by the Spruce Production d.
vision of the Army Air Service, collect
ed during the past year by the ProVl'
dence Or. ID Journal, have been sub
mitted to the special House commit
tee investigating War Department ex-
penditures and are being investigated
oy a subcommittee of which Represent
alive James A. Frear, of Wisconsin, is
chairman. According to a statement
authorized by Frear, the affldavits al
Iege that contracts for spruce produc-
ton and railroad construction on the
Pacific coast were awarded under the
"cost plus" system to companies which
had no experience in the work, with
the result that great sums Of money
were wasted. Dishonest methods were
used by the companies, IL IS cnargeo'
to obtain larger fees.
Charges are mauc,' the statement
saws. that the waste caused in build
ing camps ran into many thousand dol
lars; that there was lack Of proper
care of foodstuffs, and that hundreds
of dollars worth We're thrown into the
mud and left to rot. There are affi-
davits alleging that miles Of road were
built and never were used, and that
camps were constructed where spruce
was felled, but not an inch ever
brought out
Colonel Bryce P. Disque, former
Chief of the Spruce Production, Is crit
icised in the affidavits for having
adopted alleged wasteful methods,
used what is called poor judgment and
reversed himself in decisions. By his
adoption of process for splitting logs,
it is charged, 100000 feet of timber
were obtained from 100000 logs by
one mill and only per cent OF the
timber was fit for airplane stock.

Seamen Win Increase.

Neutrality-suspicious. increases Of ap-

to employees of vessels operated from
Atlantic and gulf ports by the Ship

after conference of Shipping Board
officials, is expected to end the strike
of marine engineers, firemen and oil
ers. Deck officers and seamen are af-
fected by the increase as well as water
tenders, oilers, engineers, firemen.

scale will apply only to employees on

Gigantic Fraud Unearthed by Agent

continued investigation of circum-
stances surrounding the death Of f. A.
Dowsey, Federal Secret Service agent
whose body was found May 2 in a To-
cal Office building shortly before he
was expected to report upon an inVes-
tigation he had been making In Seat
tie. Persons familiar with the gen
eral nature of Dowsey's mission de-
clared it involved a gigantic fraud
against the Government. A develop
ment in the case has been the adoption
by the King County Democratic Club
of a resolution demanding suspension
of Federal Shipping Board officials in
Seattle pending conclusion Of the In
Vestigation.

FOX'S THEATER.

Tom Mix the daring rider of the plaiAs, in Hell Roarin Reform" is the Attraction at FoNs tonight, with a @f fg comedy show.
 Or all the daredevil stunts which have been presented to the eye through the medium of the motion picture, none approaches in daring the one which Tom Mix the famous cowboy star. performed recently in the mak- ing of Hell Roarin' Reform h. cidentally the intrepid rider almost lost his life. The play required him to ride his horse up two flights of stairs to the balcony of building and then to leap the horse over the railing to the roof of a nearby building. Mix, famous for nerve, made the flight, and he and the horse crashed through the roof to the floor below. The pair turned a complete sOmersault in the air and the horse landed on it's knees, but was unnjurcd. This feat is ad- mitted by Mix to be the most haz- ardous he ever has undertaken, and those familiar with his pictures will agree that the eX-TeNas ranger and soldier has taken some long chances in his work. Hell R0arin' Reform is one of those galIoping western stories that have made MIX ia nous, and those who see it are assured of lively and wholesome entertain ment.

 What Harry Did.
 1sBut queer as it may sound, Harry dih~fnd his place to hide out in. We had come down in an open place in quite a sizable forest, and he got me to a deserted little hut so hidden by brushwood and so old and worthless that even the boches couldn't do any, thing with it. And there the old scout tended me-he had his first aid outfit with him-and stole out and got water. You. see the Huns were getting out of that region, and they weren't stacked around every bush the way they had been. At any rate,
 he pulled me through the worst, and
 when I was able to stand up we started on our way again.
 And then we ran up against a l couple of stray bocheS out for an 1 airing-I suppose they were an ad- ] vance or rear guard or something. At
 any. rate, they opened their big blue | eyes when they spied us, and with out any warning, pumped out their revolVers and opened fire. Harry, | you know, is quicker than seven cats, and he knocked me away from him
 before I knew what he was doing, and got the full mess in himself. But thank my lucky stars, I'm
 something on the draw myself, and l
 potted one of the chaps, the only one left, for Harry had fired, wounded as he was, and had accounted for the other brute himself. Then he keeled
 over, and I had a pretty problem on my hands, for I knew there'd be a nest of the buzzards sWarming around in a minute two.
 You know the boches have just ! one redeeming feature, they're fairly l decent to the wounded fyers-the of 1 ficers-of other nations. So I got out 1 ot my own outer uniform and got it 1 film program. Four acts of vaude-
