est In the community. The action was

bated and thus sustained by the yer-
dict Of the jury this afternoon. the
larger part Of the estate of the late
Mrs. Elizabeth Reed was willed to her
son, Mr.. Charles Reed, City Council
man and prominent local insurance
man. The grandchildren who endeav-
ored to break the will are residents
Of the county.

the course of the trial and lawyers on
both sides made strong addresses. The
attempt to break the will was made
by Messrs. j. P. Mccartney, James NJ.
Collins and A. D. Cole while Messrs.
Worthington, Cochran. Browning &
Reed defended the paper. The verdict
was nine man verdict as was the

DIVIDEND PASSING
AFFECTS FINANCES
Rumors of Omissions and Reductions
of Dividend Disbursements.

NEW YORK, March 28.-The hest
tant and occasionally heavy movement
of prices on the stock exchange today
was again chiefly influenced by Incl
dents and developments which accen-
tuated the further enforced readjust-
ment of commercial and Industrial esti-
mates.
This was indicated, for example. by
the passing of the Sears Roebuck and
U. S. Smelling quarterly dividends,
coupled with rumors that omissions or
reductions of dividend disbursements
by other prominent concerns are under
consideration.
The stronger position of the local
banks, as shown by last Saturdays
returns, encouraged more liberal Of
ferings of call and time funds and
western centers reported moderate i'm
provement in general lines Of business.
These hopeful auguries were offset in
part by another decline in railroad
tonnage at leading transportation
terminals, crop deterioration in sew
eral of the southwestern states and
additional wage reductions.
Trading was almost entirely profess
sional and represented little else than
the divergent opinions of that element.
Oils, motors, steels, equipments and
food and leather specialties comprised
fully so per cent of the turnover at ex-
IRENE declines of 1 to nearly 6 points.
Rails were only slightly affected by
the reactions and Sears Roebuck raj
lied sharply at the finish, the motion
picture specialties also showing marked
strength, especially Famous Players.
Sales amounted to $4,000 shares.
The foreign exchange market was at
a standstill on a continuance of the
Easter holidays abroad, but additional
gold imports were received from Eu-
rope and South America. Liberty
bonds and most of the international
group were steady. but rails continued
to ease. Pennsylvania 1-2's fell to
the new low of 81. Total sales, par
value, were $6,475,0O0.

BUYING ORDERS
AFFECT COTTON
Little in European News to Stimulate
Business, One Way or the Other.

NEW YORK, March 28.-The cot
ton market was higher today owing to
the absence of any material selling
pressure, covering and a moderate
trade demand. After selling off to
1890 at the start, May contracts ad-
vanCed to 1858 and closed at 1852,
with the general market closing steady
at a net gain Of IL to 20 points.
. The market opened at unchanged
prices to a decline of - points under
scattered selling which seemed to re-
fleet disappointment over the European
news and q belief that last weeks buy
ing movement had left contracts In an
easier technical position. Reports from
the communist uprising in Germany
were conflicting or confusing, but
made an unfavorabIe impression on
sentiment on the average, while the
Over-holiday developments with ref
erence to Russian trade with this coun-
try were doubtless disappointment
to buyers of late last week. Except
for scattering liquids ton there was
little or no pressure against the mar
ket, however, while buyers found en-
couragement in reports from the do
nestle goods trade and Manchester
After selling at 1870, July contracts
advanced to 1905 and October from
1922 to 1852. with active months gen.
orally showing net advances of 16 to
% points IN the late trading. The
close was within a few points of the
best. Liverpool was a seller here at
the start but bought later and some
buying was reported around the ring
for domestic mill account. The re-
ports of low temperatures in the south
were considered a factor on the rally
from the opening decline, less because
of any fear of damage, but as empha-
sizing the risk of late frost follow
ing an open winter and early spring.
There was no improvement in reports
from the domestic yarn markets but
sales of print cloths in Fall River and
the local markets combined last week
were estimated at fully million pieces
or the largest weeks business since the
January boom.

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
Prices Higher Owing to Absence of
ANY Material Selling Pressure.

NEW ORLEANS, March ga fair
ly impressive display of steadiness
was made by cotton today considering
that much of a holiday feeling still
fingered with the market ana that
there was little in European news to
stimulate business, one way or the
other. Rains and cold weather in the
belt were the source of many buying
orders but late in the day the buying
which sent the market to it's highest
levels was stimulated by private cable
grams from Liverpool saying that the
British coal strike. threatened for the
first of April, probably would be avert
ed. During the movement prices were
% to "a points higher than the closing
quotations of last week with May up
to 1917. The close was at net advance
on the day of 16 to % points. Momen-
tarily on the opening the market stood
at declines of 1 TO 9 points but When
May touched 11.SS there was new buy
ing and from then on, except for a
period around the middle Of the ses-
sion, the tendency was higher. In the
early afternoon the tendency was to
sag and the best part OF the net gains
was lost but a little later the market
Strengthened again.
Too much rain was reported in the
western and central portions Of the
belt and much rain was predicted for
the eastern portion tonight and to-
morrow. Back of the rains was a cold
wave which caused fear for cotton al
ready up in the more southern portions
Of the belt.

WALTER JOHNSON EXPECTS "NEW
BANNER YEAR
Trainer Takes Kink from Smoke
Wing.
(By Dean Snyder.)

TAMPA, Fla. March 2s.-It would be
a strange, not to say startling, thing If
Walter johnson. veteran Washington
pitcher, stepped back into the front
ranks of hurler stardom this season.
And yet that is what seems to be in
prospect!
Last season the demon smoke ball
artist had trouble with his powerful
oil right wing.
But something has happened since.
Trainer Optimistic.
And now Mike Martin, for II years
trainer of the Washington ball team,
says johnson should come back in all
his glory this season.
Here's the dope Martin goes on:
johnson strained his leg early last
season. He had to cut down his pitch
ing stride-step about one-half and to
keep his famous hop on the ball he made
his arm furnish the extra power lost
through the shortened stride.
Result? Walter crossed a couple of
ligaments in his hurting wing just above
the elbow.
Early this season we got busy on
those ligaments. / massaged them and
they are back to normal. No reason
why johnson shouldn't shine on the
mound this year"
Martin Made Judge.
Mike Martin should know what he's
talking about. He's the trainer who took
Joe Judge in hand when he was figured
to be through with baseball because of
a broken ankle
Judge today is as fleet of foot as ever.
and is crowding George Sisler for hon
prs.
Martin was also called upon to help
restore Woodrow Wilson's declining
health. Wilson. when president. took
orders from the Senators trainer for
three months.
Clark Griffith and Manager George Nc
Bride are depending greatly on John
sons Comeback.
HE won't be called upon to pitch so
games this season, as he once was"
says Mcbride. Walter has carried the
pitching burden of the Washington club
for years. He'll get only his regular turn
this season-but we look for a real run
of wins from him"
Hurting Since 1907.
Johnson is "a. He's been pitching the
smoke ball for Washington since 1907.
Johnson's best year was in 1913. when
he won SO games and lost but seven. He
hasn't had a pitching average under the
500 mark since 1909.
His no-hit- no-run game against Bos-
ton last season was one Dig triumph.
And that, with a sore arm.
what'll he do with a good wing this
seasonal it's as good as Johnson, Mar
tin, Griffith and Mcbride think it is?

LOUISVILLE TEAM
Is HUSKY BUNCH
Colonies Will Play Local Independent
Organization Saturday and Sun
day.

The Louisville Colonies, who play
the Pensacola club next Saturday and
Sunday, have one of the strongest
teams outside the major leagues, If not
the strongest. Every regular on the
club is a man of big time experience.
The Colonies last year suffered more
tough breaks than all the other clubs
in the American association combined,
but despite the many handicaps fin
ished second in the race The club, ow-
ing to injuries and Illness, did not hit
its stride until the middle of August
but when all it's players did mend the
Colonies were the sensation of the
campaign. Louisville was in fifth place
late in August, and 1t gained the Sec
ond rung Of the pennant ladder by
winning 80 OF the last 36 games played.
Many interesting characters are on
the Louisville team. Among these are
Benjamin lineup, full-blooded Chero-
kee Indian, and Baldomero Merito
Acosta, a Cuban nobleman. lineup is
one of the lague's mightiest sluggers.
fastest base runners and most effec-
tive pitchers. Because of his terrific
hitting Manager Mccarthy is planning
to give him regular outfield berth
this season. The Indian was with the
Philadelphia Nationals for years. The
Colonies gained him after the war. The
Indian was a free agent and the Louis
vile club telegraphed him an offer
which he accepted in a few minutes
before two other offers of less value
arrived from major league teams. He
hit 1871 last year for the Colonies.
Acosta is a millionaire, who, of
course, plays ball merely for the
sport. He does not draw his pay check
from the Colonels until the end of
each season. The Cuban has the dis
tinction of being the youngest ball
player who ever won a regular berth
in the major leagues. He was a regular
on the Washington club when but 16
years old. After years with Washing
ton, he played with the Philadelphia
Athletics. The Cuban's father was
mayor Of Havana for twelve years and
now is being besieged to run again
for that office. His father a few years
ago was defeated by a small margin
for the presidency of Cuba. The Acos
Ia homes at Havana are among Cuba's
most charming. In addition to a regu
lar palace in which they live in the
city proper, they have a magnificent
country home surrounded by hundreds
of acres. This home looks like a coun-
try club. Two yachts and three big
automobiles add to their pleasures.
Acosta has been host to innumeraole
visiting ball players at Havana. He is
one of the best liked fellows in base
ha Mathew
son, Max Carey and many other base
ball men of that type often have been
entertained by the Cuban.
