BUYING IN COTTON
MARKET IMPROVES
List Advances 20 to 40 Points
From Fridays Close Dur
ing Session.

Better buying power was reflected
again yesterday in higher cotton mar
ket. the list being 20 to 40 points up
from Fridays closing at one time. The
continuation of Fridays rise was due
largely to the strength of Liverpool and
nervousness among shorts, who felt un-
easy when the market advanced so easi-
ly in face of the drop of securities. On
tho way up the market met realizing,
which sent the list about 20 points or so
under the days high, Final bids were
II to 1S points under the preceding
close. Trading was light for the most
part and devoid Of feature. Several
traders seemed to be awaiting, new de-
velopments before placing further COM
mitments one way or the other.
The market opened firm with an ad-
vapce of ~ to 21 points from Fridays
nnal bids and received heavier support
Immediately after the call. Foreign In
terests and Liverpool bought, while New
Orleans and Southern wire houses sold.
IT was estimated that seven July notices
were in circulation, but they had no ef-
feet on the market. The weather over
the holidays was regarded as favorable.
The official map of yesterday was
mostly clear. The only precipitation
was little in the eastern belt-.01 at
Thomasville, .3S at Pensacola and 80 at
Wilmington The western belt was gem
orally clear. Much of the business in
the afternoon was professional scalping.

Mathews Turns
Down Big Offer
From M. A.A.C

University of Washington, Seat
tie, Aug. 2.-R. L. Mathews, as
sistant athletic coach at the Uni
versity of Washington has declin-
ed an offer from the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic club, of Port
land to take charge of its athlet-
les, although the offer is said to
be at an increase OF $1,000 a year
over the salary he now receives
from the University of Washing
ton.
A dlsinclination to embarrass the
university so late in the year and
a desire 70 remain connected with
college athletics are reasons given
by Mathews for declining the
Multnomah club offer.
Mathews came to the Univers-
ity of Washington this spring.
Previously to coming here he was
head coach at Willamette univers-
ity.

Liquor Use
Increases
InGernlany
Consumption Is So
Heavy That Reich
stag Is Directed to
Draft New Laws

Berlin, Aug. 2-Consumption Of
wines and liquors has been in
creasing SO rapidly in Germany
since the war that the reichstas
has directed the drafting Of a law,
% be introduced at the Septcin-
ber session, to regulate the traffic.
The law also will check a grow in
crease in the number Of saloons
which, in Berlin particularly, has
been so rapid that even the mod
crate say the health and morals OF
the people are endangered.
The crime wave which has been
sweeping the country for many
months, filling the jails Of every
city and severely taxing the re-
sources of the police, is attributed
by many to the "drink-craze" and
especially to the more general use.
among the poorer Germans, Of
cheap cognacs, green whiskies, gin
and other ''hard liquors" The
Germans, in fact, are gradually
losing their old reputation as beer
drinkers although an abundance
OF beer is obtainable.
Practically all the cafes and
winerooms Of Berlin are install
ing American bars" and even the
high-priced cabarets, where once
only best wines were served at
tables for which charge was
made, now have long mahogany
bars, against which the Customer
may lean, with his feet on brass
foot rail and drink as long as he
has the price OF drink or the
bartender will trust him.
There is no charge for place
at the bar but to sit at the tables
II is compulsory TO dring cham
pagne, or some other wine Of sim
liar price, with proportionate prof
II to the proprietor.
The consumption Of champagne
has outstripped all previous rec
ords during the past IL months,
mounting to more than 100000
bottles. The principal rendezvous
OF the heavy and habitual cham
payne drinker is the might sa-
loon," which does not open until
late afternoon or early evening
but continues serving its custom
ers until early morning, although
the official closing hour is 11:30
at night.
Publication of the statistics of
champagne consumption recently
brought a prompt demand from
radical socialists and labor organ
izations for more rigorous control
OF this traffic which, 1t was al
legged, represented the privileges :
secured by the profiteers and the
moneyed foreigners who frequent
the capital. There is also wide
spread demand for enforcement OF
the closing law.

StandIdle
No Predictions Made
AS to Duration of
Present Crisis; Is
Danger Period

Eugene, August with all
aerial forest patrol work at a
standstill as a result of the short
age Of gasoline and oil and no
definite word received as to when
the delayed supply will be deliv-
cred, officials of the local post
announce that they cannot pre-
dict when the planes will again
take to the air.
Captain Lowell Smith, com
mander of the 91st aero squadron,
sent out orders to all aerial posts
under his command at Medford,
Camp Lewis, Portland and Eugene
that all patrol work is to be sus-
pended for an indefinite period
until word is received from the
war department concerning the
failure of the shipment of gas.
Owing to the dryness of the
forest areas in this region and the
constant danger OF fire at this
season, forest officials are an
iously awaiting definite word
from the war department concern
ing the future of the aerial patrol
work. AS the forestry depart
ment since the establishment of
the aerial patrols has come to
depend upon the reports of the
aviators for timber fires and have
dispensed with the establishing
of many new ground lookout sta
tions, many large tracts of the
timber area are now
unprotected and an undiscovered
fire at the present time is liable
to assume large proportions before
brought to the notice of the forest
officials, they declare.

Capt. Kidd No Pirate
Says Historian; Hung
By Politics of Time

500 tons, both having French
passes and being lawful prizes.
He Came to New York and then
to Boston through the trickery
of Bellomont, who promised him
safe conduct. With the remnant
OF his crew he was arrested, sent
to England, tried for murder and
piracy, convicted and hung on
Execution Dock, Friday, May 23,
1901. to. satisfy the political ext
gencies of the times. 1t was eth
er Lord Bellomone, the lord chan
cellor, the first lord of the ad-
miralty. the secretaries of state or
Captain Kidd, and under this cir
cumstance he had no chance. Col
fusion and perjury are plainly ev-
ident in his trial; the French
passes which would have cleared
him Of the piracy charge, though
produced in parliament, were sup
pressed in the admiralty court.
