Washington, Mar S1--Hamburg today may be described as an fnpos- ing monument to the dead g1orfea of the German merchant marine accord ing to Consul Francis R.

Stewart detailing the re- suits of his inquiry has just reached the Department of Commerce
 "A short trip through the harbor quickly discleses what a graveyard the port has become the Consul re- ported Tugs and lighters are tied up here and there, apparently ror- gotten.

Yale Track Squad
 Does Not Look Very
 Good to Coach Mack

New Haven. March 31-The pros poets for the Yale track team do not look very bright for this season and Trainer Mack fears the squad cannot hold it's own against Harvard and Princeton However, Mack has de- yesoped track and field athletes out of what looked like pretty crude ma terfa1 in the indoor work, and he may repeat this season.
 Yale has in Capt E. P Heffef- finger one of the best middle dis tance runners in the college, and the nephew of the giant Fudge is expected to make it interesting for opponents in all events in which he is entered In the dashes the Yale coioTS will be worn by Snyder, Jones and Cowies, all pretty fair men. HeGeEGnger. Stewart and Coxe are the best og1arter-rnf1ers in college while fin the ha1f-miIe event O'Brien Dr1scoil and Prizer are expected to be heard from These runners give promise Of doing fairly well in the meets to come, but Mack admits that there are no record breakers in the squad. O'Brfen is one of Ya1e's best runners. He and Seaman and Reed will likely be the choice of the coach for the mile event.
 For the two-raile Yale has Crosby, Eda4s and uDdIey. There are three good hurd1ers in college - SheIden a brother Of former Yale track captain; T. P. Heffednger and Will hams.
 Yale is not overstrong in the field events Hammfll, Kirkpatrick, both football men, and Storrs will enter the shotput, while Acosta, Kirk patrick and Hudson will do the hammer throwing. Sweeney, Web Der, Gardner. Roberts and Barrett are doing the best work in the pole vault
 Lamson will do Ya1e's best high jumping during the next two months and his teammate in this event will likely be Potter. Reinacher. T. P Heffe1fnger and Gardner are the ranking broad jumpers.
 Yale's first meet is the dual meet in May.

 FREIGHT TRAINS

Vienna, Mar s1--Looting of freight trains particularly of foodstuffs- and wearing apparel goes on unchecked throughout Austria Unless con voyed, it is said, a shipment stands little chance of coming through in tact The robbers seem well organ ized and armed and often so numer- ous as to resist arrest.
 Gift cargoes from other European states seem the favorfte plunder and, according to report, much of the stolen goods has been found for sale in the open market.
 A large consignm ment of this cf1arac- ter from Sweden arrived this week and when the well arranged food parcels, containg flour. fats and other staples, were opened it was found that a portion of the fat and flour had been sfzi1lfuIly removed from each package and a sack of Austrian salt substituted to make up the requisite weight.

 This is only one case of several of which report could be made, There eems to be no disposition to haggle over bargains.

 In the downtown district. especially in. the vicinity of Wall street, some real estate transactions have been reported re- ctItly which represent not speculative irttnt. but sound business purposes. There are many corporations. business and brokers establishments which have been for years established in the vicinity of Wall street and which have paid with out much or any protest increased rental. Recently, however, the apprehension has been strong that no matter how high the rent may be, nevertheless there is eer- tain to come an earnest and strong de- u.and for business offices in these build ings Therefore, it has seemed the bet- ter part for the corporations and others to buy property, take title, not hguring closely upon the cost so that in this way permanent business homes can be as- sured. That is the reason why the
 United States Steel Corporation paid somewhat in excess of five million dollars for the Empire building, although few Iyears ago it could have been bought for a million less Now that corporation IS sure of permanent home.

COTTON HELD WELL : UP ALL DAY ONNEW
 ORLEANS TRADING
Trading Months at Close Were at Net Gains of 31 to B Points Over the
 Finals of Wednesday
By Associated Press

New Orleans, Feb. l2.-The cotton market opened at the advance today, re- nained steady and higher throughout the session and had it's strongest period toward the close when it was a to % points higher than the final prices of yes terday. On the close the trading months were at net gains of 21 to S5 points. The bulges in the Liverpool market and the wet weather in the belt were the main reasons for the buying that appeared. Buyers were rather cautious because of pessimistic dispatches from Washington regarding the financial situation abroad and because of the railroad wage dispute. but at all times the market had an in- sufficient supply of contracts to work on.
 Liverpools bulge of 7S English points on spots, the sales of 5000 bales on the spot and imports of 54,0OO bales of cotton, of which 4900O bales were of American growth aroused all manner of bullish comment and resulted in a good demand as soon as the market here opened The inquiry was further strengthened by rains in the belt and especially by the rains in Texas. At the highest of the day March traded up to 36c and closed at 30 95s, which compared with the spot quo- tations on middling of 3S5Oc.

FARM LANDS USED
 FOR SPECULATION
Nv HOI.IiAND


 New York, February 12.- (Special) )--As- tonishing reports come to New York which tell of the magnitude of the spec ulation in farm lands, improved and un- improved, which has been in progress for year or so in the Mississippi valley, in Iowa, and in some parts of the far northwest Speculation of this kind has run parallel to the speculation which until recently prevailed in the securities market. Therefore, it was said that, al- though almost always in the past real estate speculation was the last move ment of that kind to take place when a general impulse toward speculation pre- vailed, throughout the country, now the precedent has been changed.
 Sensational as has been the speculation in farm lands in the far west, and in uEimproved lands in the Mississippi val- lev nevertheless it is not a more strik- ing movement of that kind that one which has prevailed in New York for about year. There seems to be no limit to the amount of money which purchasers of real property in New York can command. Higher rates for money do not affect these dealers. They are not obliged to put LID margains in order to protect their transaction They seem to be able to put their hands upon almost inexhaustible supplies of funds. The aggregate trans actions in real property in New York city in the past twelve months reach hlsh III the millions Hardly a day passes when announcement is not made of the sale of improved real estate which involves payment of several million dollars
 From one point of view. this is specu- |lative, but from another this unparalleled movement in New York real estate is dis covered to be due to other causes than a desire to speculate. A few weeks ago a building of the modern type or skeie- ,toft ion xxyaG hntRhf about S3Ooo,00O It is situated not far from the New York terminal of the Brooklyn bridge.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa. February 1z-(speciAD Fifty-two options on oil lands were filed for record in the probate office this morning. They were taken in the name of W. c. Blair. who represents a large number of capitalists from the north. The options are nearly all located in. Lexington beat, north of Tuscaloosa, on the Fayette- te-Tuscaloosa line. The options run from ten acres to 3eo, several thousand acres being included in the options.
 The company MT. Blair represents has no stock for sale. but proposes to put up the money to bore for the oil and either strike it or lose what they have put in. There are good many who believe that oil has already been struck in that section of Tusca- foosa and Fayette counties and that the company will later buy the land outright and then sell of acreage
