Hungary Stores Munition
AS Menace to Austria

BUDAPEST, July 17.-Those who
charge there is a movement afoot for
Hungary to regain by force Slovakia,
now part of Czecho-Slovakia, or Tran
sylvania, point to the food and NUM-
tion stores being accumulated as evil
dence to support their contention.
1t is said that there is now in Hun
gary American canned food worth
more than S1,oOO,ooo, ready for army
use. Twcnty-eight war tanks and large
quantities of rifles have been received.
Large supplies of munitions have been
manufactured, ostensibly for the Pol
ism forces, but the Poles have com
planned that these have not reached
the anti-B olshevil1 forces
Whatever secret intentions some
elements may have, it is said, it is ap-
parent that Hungary is strengthening
its armed forces to be in position
to assume menacing attitude toward
Austria, should the Vienna govern
ment attempt to take over Western
Hungary or to combine with Poland
should communism become dangerous
among the Czechs.

December Cotton
Sells Below Csc;
Market Is Weak
All Active Deliveries Make
New Low cord s;
Declines Of More Than
Cent q Lib. Not Uncommon

There was a further severe break in
the cotton market yesterday with nll
active deliveries aking new low
records. The steadicr tone Of Satur-
days market and the extent Of last
weeks declines had' created a good deal
of reactionary sentiment in spccula-
tive circles, but the news from Liver
pool was unsettling, and instead Of
buying, people who had taken profits on
short contracts last week resold their
cotton.
There was also continued pressure
from Liverpool, the South and local
sources on the decline which carried
December contracts off to 2A.78c, or 165
points below the closing quotation of
Saturday and over G1a cents a pound
below the high price reached OF the
rally Of August 1.
No sales of August were reported be-
low BIC, but that position closed at
net lower, while later months showed
losses of 100 to 1G5 points for the day
There has seldom been more vio-
lently or feversh opening than that Of
yesterday. Evidently there were Il
good many overnight buying orders
around the ring, particularly for
October. August was influenced by
the sharp revision in the quotation for
middling cotton at Savannah on Satur-
day and started 100 points lower,
while October and November were 18
to 35 points higher, and later months
5 to GO points lower because of the
cables. Liverpool has made pretty
steady showing early, but just before
the local opening broke the equivalent
Of a cent pound. Private cables at
tributed this to rumors of failures in
the Far East and Manchester selling
on apprchensions Of a strike in the
British coal mines. Naturally these
reports had disturbing influence, al
though the rumors of Far Eastern
failures were not confirmed and except
TOR the cable advices mentioned the
local trade had no information of dis
turbance in that quarter
There was covering enough to cause
moderate rallies during the middle of
the day, but no buying power of con-
sequence developed and the lowest
prices were touched late when there
were rumors of further declines in
Southern spot markets. Active months
showed net losses Of lat to ITO points
late in the afternoon and closed at
nearly the lowest level.
The favorable Polish war news and
unfavorable features in the weather
reports were apparently without in
iuence, the attention of the trade be-
ing centered on the foreign situation
and Southern spot advces. As Of
flcially reported the Southern spot
markets were unchanged to 25O points
lower, with the middling quotation
down to 29c at Dallas and Houston,
ana 29.ooc at Savannah. If there was
an encouraging feature it was the in
creased business reported at the de
clines with Houston reporting sales of
10,568 bales -
The New York market for spot cot
ton was quiet and 100 points lower at
32.5oc for middling, no sales being re-
ported. =

Bills Would Suppress
Secret Bets i'm France
Ciandestine Wagers Average
$2,OO0,O00 a Day, Says
Author of Measures

PARIS, Aug. 3.-Clandestine betting
would be suppressed in France under
bills Just introduced in the Chamber
of Deputies by Baron Maurice de
Rothschild and Leo Bouyssou
Secret betting in France is csti-
mated by Baron Rothschild TO amount
to 100000 france (normally about
S2,00O.0OO) daily.
Under the Rothschild bill establish
ments where the illegal betting oc-
Cured would be closed for certain
periods
Deputy Bouyssou proposes that
illegal betting be suppressed by the
creation of state organization of con-
troll and the imposition of tax 4;
racetracks and other places. A tax
of per cent on the estimated TO-
100000 francs illegally bet daily would
bring the French government a reve-
nue. of 100000 francs daily OF for the
$50 racing days, an ANIMAL revenue
from this source of 2Oo,OO0,00o francs.
To this. would be added 100000 OF
100000 francs from tax on book
betting, which would be reestabished
and allowed in a special inclosure.
under the Bouyssou measure This bill
also proposes the creation of free bet
ting offices in Paris and all cities Of
more than 100000 inhabitants.

Madden Scores Burleson
AS Gar and AutOcrat

CHICAGO. Aug. % - Postmaster
General Burleson's recent order declar-
ing that the families and relatives of
postal employees shall not participate
IN any manner in politics aroused the
following comment to-day by Repre-
sentative Martin B. Madden, of the
House Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads,
POSTMASTER General Burleson's edict
against the participation of postal en-
ployees and their families and relatives
in politics is the most autocratc pro-
nouncement ever issued bv a govern
ment official. 1t savors of the good old
days in Russia when orders of the Car
were supreme.
"When did the Postmaster General
become clothed with the power to re-
strict the right of franchise among our
citizens?
Does he assume that because a man
is employed in the post office service
that, therefore, his father and mother
aud brothers and sisters and uncles and
aunts and cousins are under the Post
master GcnreaPs autocratc and des-
potic rule?
"Does Mr. Burleson assume to say
that he is clothed with authority to
direct the civic activities of all who
of the country?
"Where does he get such authority :?
''Is not Mr. Burlcson assuming a
great deal?
"Does he think such an order will be
accepted complacently by the American
people?
"rhc people should resent such i'm
pudence and will. The time has not
yet come when the American people
will submit to such despotism, either
from the Postmaster General or any
one else. The government is still in
the hands of the people, notwith stand
ing repeated attempts of the executive
branch to prevent them from exercis-
ing their constitutional rights.
"Let us hope that these rights will
be so exercised at the coming election
as thereafter to give us the blessings
of a government of laws and not of
dictatOrS"

'f Which will you have, the light meat
or the dark"
"Gimme tn light
In the Occident or the Orient the re-
ply to the much asked question is the
same, according to William +. Alder.
explorer and lecturer, who has lust
returned from a years visit to the
Kia Kia tribes of cannibals in New
Guinea. He states that the natives
want almost any kind of meat, but
they feel that the lighter it is the
better.
In telling of his experiences at a
lecture ae?ore the Southern California
ACADEMY of Sciences in Los Angeles.
Mr. Adler described the methods en-
ployed by the man eating tribes. He
SAID that as the time for feast draws
near one tribe watches another and
picks out the man on whom attention
IS to be conferred. Then, in the night
the ,cannibals go to the village and
awake HIM. The first word he utters
upon awakening is the name the tribe
bestows upon the next born After
being awakened he is hit on the head
and the meal is prepared.
Mr.. Adler stated that white meat is
always preferable. A missionary who
preceded him by few weeks lost his
life among the cannibals, and a Swiss
scientist who was making an investi-
CATION at about the time Mr.. Adler
went to New Guinea was killed. Only
Mr.. Adler's exceptional power over the
natives enabled him to move about
among them. The explorer made pic
lures of men who had never before
been photographed. These he has made

Nature and Science
Provide New Face
And Restore Sight
Camden Man, Manned and
Blinded by Explosion, Is
PossessOr of New Ear and
Eyelids, and Can See Now

Wearing an entirely different face
from the one he had in the pioneer
days in Montana and the Yukon, John
Randolph Watson is in Seattle on his
way out if Alaska, apparently as hale
and hearty at eighty-four as he was
fifty years ago, in spite of his strenu-
Gus experiences with beauty doctors"
Mr.. Watson is probably the only man
in the world who can make the literal
boast that he is as "two-faced as
Janus" This implies no insincerity
facedness" is only skin deep.
When boy of twenty Mr. Watson
was burned in an explosion, losing
most of the flesh on his head above
his nose, including one ear. AS time
passed, most of the skin grew back
on-but the eyelids die not, and for
forty-seven years he was never able
to close his eyes. This, of course, af-
fected his eyesight, and in 1900 he be-
came entirely blind. He came out Of
Alaska then and went to Philadelphia,
where a remarkable operation was
performed on him.
Skin was removed from his leg and
grated over his eyes. After the new
face, it was cut at the proper points,
and he was equipped with nearly as
good a pair of eylids as anyone ever
had.
In the meantime, however, Mr.. Wat
son had forgotten how to open and
close his eyes. acd it took him several
years of painful work to achieve this
apparently simple accomplishment.
When he finally had mastered the
trick, his sight returned to him, and
he now sees as we'll or better than
other men of his age, although, of
course, he has to use glasses.
When he had learned to open his
eyes, though, he had only completed
half of his task. For, during the
years that his eyes had been con-
stantly open he had been unable to
read or write, and SO he had forgotten
how. So. in the late seventies, he
was compelled to take Up his c's
again.
Not only has he thoroughly mas
tered these studies. but he has even
ventured forth into writing and has
turned out quite a bit of poetry.
In appearance Mr.. Watson shows lit
tie effect from his unique experience.
The ear that "grew back" is a bit
bizarre and there is fine scar over
the eyelids, but. aside from this, he is
not at all ou. of the ordinary.
Mr.: WatsoL was born in Portland.
Me-, in 1886, going to Illinois with his
father when ten years old. In 1864 he
went to Montana, where he conducted
q merchandising business until 1897.
Then he went to Alaska, where he re-
manned until he lost his sight.
Since regaining his sight, Mr. Wat
son has made his home at Camden,
N. j., but has been travelling almost
constantly. He has been retracing the
Watt Watson trail" on his present
trip, the route having been named after
him when he traversed it in '97 as q
pioneer.-Seattle Post-Intellgencer.

Olympic and Aquitania
To Race Across Atlantic

The spirit of new Transatlantic
race was conjured up out of nothing
yesterday along the waterfront. When
the differentiation was complete, rep
resentatlves of the Cunard and White
Star lines threw cold salt water on
the project.
No, indeed, there is to be no race,
according to the White Star Line, al
though the Olympic, regenerated with
oil fuel and swift as motor boat, is
to leave port Saturday with the fast
Cunarder Aquitania.
The Cunard Line also has no idea of
racing, but the owners of both vessels
admit the liners will be sent across
the Atlantic as fast as engines can
drive them. The Aquitana is scheduled
to leave about noon, and the Olympic
at p. m That means the Cunarder
VII be about nnety-two miles in the
lead when the Olympic clears the Am

Closed Shop Demand
Dropped by B. r. T. Men
All Danger of Strike Believed
Removed; Receiver and EN-
DlOyees Meet TODAY

John H. Delaney, Transit Construc-
tion Commissioner, who has been act
ing as mediator in the dispute between
employees Of the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit Company and Lindley M. Garrison,
receiver for the lines, announced last
night that the union had withdrawn its
demand for the closed shop and that
the receiver and employees would dis
cuss the other questions at issue this
afternoon at IS Clinton Street, Brook
lyn.
1t was the closed shop demand which
mado a strike on the B. r. T. seem i'm
rninent. Mr.. Garrison declared that 30
long as that formed part of the new
agreement which the men wanted
signed he would not discuss the agree
ment with them. Judge Mayer, of the
United States District Court, who ap-
pointed Mr.. Garrison receiver, upheld
him in this stand, and Mayor Hylan ad-
vised the men to moderate their "rad-
ical" demands.
The withdrawal of the closed shop
clause removes all danger of strike,
