Nine Journeyman Who Take Examina-

by Law, Pass Tests With
Flying colors.
MUCH WORK IS DONE
Inspector Has Been Kept Busy Look.
ing After New Jobs Which are
Being Installed This
Year.

keokuk plumbers are among the
best in the country They have passed
with high marks the tests which have
been given them by the plumbing
board of the city. These tests are con-
sidered among the most difficult that
! it is possible 10 give, and the high
marks made By the plumbers here, put
them in high class rating by the
BOARD.
Examination OF the plumbers was
completed last night and nine journey
man plumbers have received their
licenses as the law requires them to
have. The board has held several
sessions to give these exams, and the
plumbers answers to the questions
prove that Keokuk has some of the
best in the country.
The examination charts used were
made by the r. NJ. Starbuck people
in Hartford. Conn. and are conceded
by those who know to be the stiffest
tests possible to give. Following the
final tests last night the plumbing
board composed of Messrs. King, Bis
hop and Hickey set up box of cigars
for the men who were taking the ex-
animation.
Elmer Mcpherson, inspector for the
plumbing board has been kept busy
this fall passing on applications for
work which is being installed in
houses here. There have been some
twenty or more application for work
and these applications have been
passed on and the work is being in
stalled. 1t is almost exclusively work
in residences
Plumbers submit sketches of the
proposed work and the inspector
passes on these. When the work is
installed he makes an inspection for
leaks, and If none are found then the
fixtures are installed. Two inspec-
lions follow the granting OF permits

ANSELL REPLY NOT
 ID BE PUBLISHED,
 BAKER ANNOUNCES
Declares Publication Would Not Be Helpful and Says Suggestions Can Be
 Made to Department
Ev AssonIa,sS pr.ss


 washington, March 2S.--Lieutenant Colonel Anselrs reply to statements by Major General Crowder, judge advocate general on the subject of military jus tice, will not be made public by the war department.
 Secretary Baker announced today he had returned the letter to Colonel An sell with the suggestion that its pub licstion would not be helpful, and that if the officer had any suggestion or recc mmendation as to changes ir the courtnartial system, he could inaHc it either to his superior officers or to the Secretary of War.
 Colonel Ansell today said he had no statement to make. His friends as- take any steps toward making public the reply himself, as such action would be construed as insubordination and would render the officer liable to court martial proceedings on that charge, but the proceedings would not necessarily involve either the controversy over the legal system in the army or the per- sonal relations between Colonel An sell and General Crowder
 The reply of Colonel Ansell was for warded to Secretary Baker, while the Secretary was absent from Washing ton on an inspection tour of army camps. Acting Secretary Crowell was instructed by MT. Baker to withhold reply from publication until the lat ter's return.
 Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the military committee of the last Senate obtained copy of the reply in confidence from Secretary CroweH, and later te1egraphed Mir. Ba- ker urgently requesting that the com- naunication be made public, declaring in accordance with document of pub lie interest and fair reatment for Col onel Ansell demanded it be played be- fore the country, as had General Crow der's statements.
 Officers at the war department have said that so far as known the only ! copy of the reply leaving the depart l ment was that given to Senator Cham ! berlain, but from a statement made ! rublic simultaneously with the sena- | tors telegram, some officers received | the impression that Colonel Apsell chaly | lenged the action of the department in | submitting to Inspector General Cham | terlain the investigation. of the contro- l ersy on the ground that General Cham i berlain was prejudiced by long asso- ciaFSUn with military life.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Rrass

New York, March 2s-The cotton mar
 ket was nervous and irregular during
 the week. The decline from recent high
 levels extended to 23.3Sc for new style
 May and 9.45c for october on last We'd
 nesday, owing to unsettled conditions in
 Europe, continued nervousness over the foreign exchange situation and the ap~
 pearance of better weather conditions in
 the south. The market steadied around
 these prices on covering and trade buy ing. however, with May contracts selling
 at 24S5c during today's trading and Cc-
 tober at 209oc. Liverpool buying was
 prominent feature on the recovery, while there was also a considerable demand from domestic trade interests which was regarded as reflecting the continued i'm provement in the goods trade and iny creased mill activity in New England
 Private cables have attributed advances in the English markets to a better trade demand. but the influence of Liverpool ffrmhess has been offset to a consider, able extent by the uncertainty of ex- change and the possibility of wider diff ferences between the two markets.
 The better wea ther reported in the south. during the early part of the week was followed by renewed rains in the eastern belt and unseasonably low tenn peratures in the southwest accompanied by further complaints of delayed farm work. There may also have been some scattered buying toward the end of the week on a private report pointing to a reduction of IS per cent in acreage which on the basis of the 10-year average yield per year would make a crop of about I, ,e2o.0O0 bales. Generally speaking, how ever, local traders considered it still too early in the season for such reports to carry conviction and new crop deliveries were relatively easy on the recovery. Re- ports of more rapid progress in the work of the peace conference at Paris were considered partly responsible for the firm- CT tone of the market after the mid- week decline which had carried prices 1s2 to 175 points below the high levels of March IS, and had evidently reflected the accumulation of a scattering short iD- terest. The south was credited with selling hedges here on the rally above 20.50c for May contracts today. but no change of importance has been reported in the spot situation.
