The members arrived early in the day and witnessed some exciting run | ming and Jumping races. The baseball game between the married men, led by Benjamin Vein stein, and the bachelors, explained by Henry Greenstein, was the center of
 The married men defeated the bachelors by a score of 12 to 6. The star performer was Morris Resnick, who played center field and in the ninth inning. the single men at the bat, had three men on the bases and two out, made a sensational one hand running catch which was la beled a home run, and retired the side.

There were inner guards on duty day and night.
 EHorts were made by church folk ana civic organizations to have the pace closed up but all were futile. It was the common talk about Stam- ford that the club was protected by I political pull. Chief Brennan and the Stamford police department have | been under fire numerous times for
 allowing the gambling place to
 back with the claim that it was inn
 possible to obtain evidence.
 Poker, roulette and gambling for n1Sh stakes were reported to be go-
 ing on within the walls of the place
 It was also said it was the head | quarters for runners for bets on al | of the racing tracks. All kinds ot
 gambling for big and small stakes was
 said to be carried on.
 The ''Dewey Club. was said to be patronized to a large extent by we'll | to-do New York gamblers who were l in the habit of spending the weekend | Tn Stamford. It was a place where

 'The chief advantage of this sys- tenn has already been indicated. 1t IS based upon the idea that the idea that the business side of city govern ment calls for training, experience ana technical ability and that these es- sential qualifications are not to De found, as Q rule, in the ordinary po- htica1 candidates for sthe office or chief executive or mayor while that
 office is regarded as a purely pollucaai office. The city-manager plan, there-
 fore, tends to substitute the sound idea that experience, achievement and technical ability are essential to sue
 cessful municipal administration. The political questions of the city-that is, tho policies to be followed by the
 city government-are under such a
 system decided in the municipal
 council which is the political division of the government, while the respon-
 sibility for carrying out the city s
 policy is sQuarely placed upon an e1-
 perienced man under the control of
 the council-'

 of saying that efficient government

COTTON

There was another advance in the cot
ton market yesterday. Futures were UP
approximately 80 to As points at the high
level and spots above the II cent level
at 1910, rise of 35 points. The better
feeling in yesterdays market was due
primarily to continued Improvement in
textile and trade conditions. Fall River
reported its most active week in many
months, sales there being estimated at
more than 1000 pieces. More cotton
goods mills are to reopen tomorrow.
The latest to announce that it will start
tomorrow is the Highland Park mills
of Charlotte, ". c. Business generally
was dull in the abbreviated session,
partly due to the holiday in the New
Orleans market.
Southern hedge selling was moderately
heavy at times and caused the list to
sag off about points early in the day.
The markets buying power was suffi-
cient. however, to take care of offsrings.
which late in the day were exceedingly
light. causing much worriment among
shorts. That uneasiness In bear circles
was largely reflected by the late cover
ing movement. Sentiment on the floor
was again affected bullishly by the firmer
tone of stocks.
In the first hour there was but little
net change The market opened 4 to Il
points net higher. but slipped off in the
first half hour on professional and
Southern selling. Toward the end of the
opening period new buying developed
and the list soon crossed Fridays final
prices. Scattered outside support was in
evidence. and in the last half hour most
options gained more than 80 points. The
closing was a few points down from the
top but with net advance of % to 40.

RAIL LABOR HEARING TO BEGIN
Roads to Cooperate with United
States Labor Board.

The second phase of readjustment of
the relations between railroads and their
employees will be taken up by the United
States Labor Board in a hearing which
will start tomorrow morning in Chi
cago. The first phase, that of wages,
has been settled and practically all
roads have discharged their back pay
obligations to their employees. The cur
rent hearing will be on hours of labor,
train crews and other working condi-
tions.
In connection with the meeting of the
railroad executives in New York on FRI
day. it was stated that decision was
reached to end all relations with the
railroad adjustment boards. a wartime
emergency piece of machinery. 1t is
the contention of the executives that
every road is able to adjust its own
labor difficulties to greater advantage
than through boards. The roads will con-
tinue to cooperate with the United States
Labor Board.

GRAIN.

>CHIcAGo, Jan. S.-A bulge during the
last hour on moderate buying and lack
of offerings gave wheat good undertone
to-day and the market closed firm. with
prices showing a net gain of / Il to 2A
from Fridays close. with March s1.73&
to STA and May s1.66h to $1.66 Il Z.
Corn was unchanged to Il cent higher !;
oats unchanged to IL down. and pro-
visions were lower for pork and lard
but firmer for ribs.
Wheat developed a strong undertone
and advanced sharply after a weak
start, due to persistent buying to remove
hedges against export sales. The British
commission was not In the market, put
the Continent was good buyer. and
sales of 100000 bushels were reported
TO Germany and Italy. A small cargo
was reported sold late yesterday to
Scandinavia. and Greece and Spain were
in the market for wheat. but no sales
were reported. Sentiment was a little
more friendly TO the buying side as a
result OF the export business.
Coarse grains were slightly easier
early, but rallied with wheat Trade
was light and mostly of a local charac-
ter. Minneapolis reported $4,000 bushels
of corn sold to Baltimore, the first busi-
ness from that market so far. Some
hedging pressure was in evidence.
Oats were dull practically all day, but
provisions averaged higher on scattered
buyiig and light offerings.

Special Cable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
Copyrioht, 1891. by THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
London, Jan. 8.
Despite the collapse of two minor
banks in the last few weeks standard
British financial institutions In their
annual reports. now being published,
continue to show remarkably substantial
profits garnered In the last year. Far
rows Bank which catered to small
tradespeople, and the Anglo-American
Continental Bank. which specialized In
certain kinds of trade. suffered through
the collapse Of those specialties. But
such banks as the London Joint City
Midland. with its 1900 branches in the
British Isles, and the Ulster Bank, with
a hundred or more branches in troublous
Ireland. showed profits we'll over 20 per
cent. Whether they will be able TO carry
this prosperity through the coming year
is extremely doubtful.
Last year at this time we got ten
millions of capital in ten days." a well
known company promoter told the corre-
spondent for THE NEW YORK HERALD.
To-day we couldn't get ten quid tpound
sterlingl in million days on,the same
proposition"
1t is this uncertainty that is keeping
bankers from going into the British part
of the Tremuehlen scheme for financing
credits through banks and insurance
companies for Continental countries.
AS an example OF the basic strength
of banks there is the London Joint City
Midland report by the chairman, Regi-
nald McKenna, one time Chancellor OF
the Exchequer and whispered about as
the possible next Premier. He says that
after providing for all bad and doubtful
debts, and for staff bonuses, &C., the
years net profits were s2.S31.s61. This
with the balance brought forward, makes
a total Of f3,55s,731 divided into Is pei
cent. dividends Qess income taxi oi
f1,367,094. q reserve fund for deprecia-
tion, war loans. &c. of f1,200,000 and a
bank premises redemption fund Of ESQ.,
600. leaving a balance carried forward
of f741,519 the same as that for 1919
except 100000 more for depreciation
and a balance E14.00 larger.
This bank also has announced that II
is preparing to pay interest under special
arrangements on deposits of all sums Of
more than one pound.
There Is a slight increase in the note
circulation In England and slight sea-
sonal increase in the public debt. But
against this the figures of coal produc.
tion and export show a remarkably
healthy Improvement. the vital question
of coal entering largely into both do
mestic and foreign trade conditions.

Government Seeks Loan for
ElectrificatiOn of Federal
Railways.

Owing to the urgent need for prompt
electriflcation of the Swiss Federal
Railways, because OF the inaccessibility
of coal supplies. the Swiss Government
Is proceeding actively in negotiations
with American bankers for a new loan
and. provided that there be no hitch in
negotiations. new issue OF s50.O0O.O0
to $60.000.000 of Swiss Government
bonds will be floated in this market
during the final week OF this month.
That offering Is on the cards for just
prior to February I. and from present
indications the entire amount needed
will be offered at that time. although
the financing may be divided into two
bites from the cherry.
Cables from Geneva yesterday told of
negotiations for 300.000,00 In gold
francs in the United States for electrifi-
cation purposes. the Swiss banks being
in no position to make loans for ma
tional undertakings because of the large
business they had done in German,
French and Italian currencies, which
have declined to such low levels as to
cause a trying period for business in
Switzerland.
At the time OF the last previous issue,
which was floated early in July. 1920.
it was announced that there would be
. no further financing in 1920 but any
limitation on new financing by the Swiss
Government has passed. That issue was
for S25,00O.000 in twenty year per
cent. sinking fund gold bonds. 1t was
offered at par and interest by syndi-
cate headed by Lee. Higginson & Co..
and included the following: The Guar
anty Trust Company. A. Iselin & Co.,

Company, Harris Forbes & Co.. Halsey,

tions.

COTTON MILLS BREAK RECORD.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Jan. S.--A new
high record for dividends was made by
the cotton mills of this city during 1920.
according to summary issued to-day.
The total dividen3 paid during the mill
year of 1920 amounted to $9.9S9,300, an
average of 29.14S per cent. on s36. $780,
900 capitalization. The best previous
record was in 1918. when there was dis
bursement of s6.0S5.326 for a rate of
18.489 per cent.

cess of the amount distributed to stock
holders in 1919, and $3,900.974 In excess
of 1918. although that year was consid-
cred the banner of all time.

large dividends paid during the year,
ranging from 60 per cent. down to 16 "A

TRADE IMPROVES IN
FINISHED COTTON

Trade has improved in finished cotton
goods following very substantial reduc-
tions made last week and this week.
Staple glnghams and 80 inch chambrays
have been bought freely and line OF
ginghams has been placed at value.
Percales and prints. now sold without
stock protection, also have been bought
very freely from the largest producer.
More business has come forward on wide
sheetings. The demand for colored cot
tons, such as cheviots, plaids. express
stripes and tickings, is broadening out
and in a few days a complete revision
is looked for in the prices OF indigo
denims.
Wash goods, quilts and white goods
are being bought in moderate quantities
and significant feature is that many
large jobbers are requesting express
shipments of carload lots.
New business booked has been sufficient
thus far to warrant the restarting In fun
of such large plants as the American
Printing Company, the Amoskeag Man
ufacturing Company and others that
have been operating on restricted sched-
ules for considerable time. Print cloths
have been steady. Sheetings have not
started very freely, although inquiries
are better. Jobbers report better busi-
ness in small lots and retail clearance
sales show substantial reductions. Knit
goods are being repriced and business is
starting up again in a small way.
Prices current on cotton goods are
as follows: Print cloths, % inch, 64x64s,
6Ac.; 64x60s, 5Bc.; 3S1s inch, 64x64s.
