The cotton market continued for the fourth consecutive day it's pre- cipitous downward slide, losses of S2.5O to $3.50 today being added to the de- clines that set in Wednesday of this week and have carried values in the futures market around $50 points, or Sl7.50 bale, lower since Tuesday. The extreme weakness in futures has had even a greater effect on the price of actual cotton. The same class of staple which topped the local mar ket last Tuesday at 32 1-2 cents could not be sold here today for more than 27 cents, a decline of five and one-half cents a pound, and average receipts show about the same ratio of decline The "two-bit" price was reached here today, when p cents was the best bid placed on a number of bales of mid ding short staple cotton. A few bales sold as low as "A cents, while early this morning before the break in fu- lures a few bales brought as high as 27 cents.
 Receipts here today were the heav- jest of the season, but a decidedly gloomy air pervades the business sec tion, as the severe slump in values is as distasteful to the merchant and the banker as it is to the farmer. A few are inclined to hold their cotton for better price, but the majority are talk Ing pot luck and turning their staple loose for the best offer.
 In the New York market today De- cember contracts closed at 1925 cents, a net loss of TO points from yester- days close. Spots were quoted at 28 cents, 50 points down. December New Orleans closed 60 points net lower at 22.30 cents, while spots in that mar ket were marked down 50 points to 26 cents for middlinf.
 The price of cottonseed is as yet uninfuenced by the sharp breaks in cotton, and remains unchanged at $50 per ton here.

BANDITS
 STAGE ESECOND
 TRAIN H0LDU?
(By United Press) )


 Chicago, Sept. 25.-Masked bandits today again held up the Illinois Gen. tral flyer from New Orleans to Chi cago, staging their hold up near the same place where the train was rob- bed six months ago. The bandits to- day escaped with six registered mail sacks, the loot being varously es- timated as from $10,000 to $80,000.
 As the flyer approached Tucker, H., the bandits forced it to slow down and hid between the mail cars. When the clerks started from one car to anoth- CT, they were covered with revolvers and bound and gagged. After the pouches had been secured, they leap ed from the train and made their es- cape. Three of the stolen pouches were from Memphis, one from New Orleans, one from St. Louis and one from Champaign, III.
 The same train was robbed six months ago by Leroy Walton, the Missouri bandit, who was shot and killed by police after he had almost escaped with $85,OOO in loot. Walton threw the sacks in the river, police afterwards recovering them.
 Today's robbery was staged sud denly and completely caught the train crew off guard. After the escape of the bandits, the mail cars were en- tered and five clerks discovered bound and lying on the floor.

BRITISH PREMIER ANNOUNCES
INTENTION OF CONTROLLING
INSuRREcTloNISTS.
Expresses Conviction that Majority Of
People Are Anxious for Peace,
But That lrishmen Must
First Lay Down Arms.

London.-Martial law has been pro-
claimed by Dublin Castle over the city
and county of Cork, the city and
county of Limerick and the counties
of Tipperary and Kerry.
In an announcement made to the
house of commons on December 10 Pre-
mier Lloyd George declared it was
the intention of the British government
to put down the lawlessness which for
months has been prevalent In Ireland.
Dublin city and the county of Dub
lin, although they have been the
scenes of numerous affrays and of
much vandalism, were not included in
the district which is placed under mar
tial law, but Mr.. Lloyd George told
the commons that If conditions should
warrant it, the interdicted area would
be extended.
Under the proclamation the person
who without authority possesses arms
or unauthorized uniforms must sur
render them within a certain period
or lay themselves liable to trial by
court martial and the death penalty.
Premier's Statement.
The premier said he was convinced
that in all sections of Ireland the ma
jority of the people were anxious for
peace and that the government like
wise was DESTROYS of peace and fair
settlement of the questions at issue.
TO this end, the premier asserted
that the government would treat with
Sim Fein members of parliament who
had not been "involved in the commits
sion of the serious crimes"
These Sim Feiners, he added, would
be afforded all protection. The gov
eminent, however, would not grant
safe conducts to London to such Sim
Fein members of parliament as had
been involved in the commission OF
serious crimes.
In expressing the determination OF
the government to put downS disorder
in Ireland, the premier declared it nae
no option but to continue to intensity
its campaign against the "small bu
highly organized and desperate minor
ity" in Ireland which was "using muir
der and outrage in order to attain thu
| impossible" and which could brin!
peace neither to Ireland nor to Grea
Britain.

of leading members are that neither

In fact, even beginning reduction OF

Accordingly, the program to be pre-

In three stages. The first involves an
agreement between the powers to make
no further increase in armament, The
second win provide gradual reduc-

provide for general and complete dis
