HOBART BOSWORTH, IN "A
 THOUSAND TO ONE," ALCAZAR

Hobart Bosworth's new picture, "A Thousand to One" at the Alcazar this week is a very unusual photo
 play. Beginning in large city where
 William Newland a rich bachelor, is
 much in the limelight for his wealth and experience and leading double life it shifts to the wilds of Califor-
 mia In this way the picture falls under no classification. The first
 reel is gorgeous and Bosworth is we'll pictured in scenes of luxury and of rather doubtful pleasure.
 ! When Newlands marries girl only for her money and they are wrecked near some mining camps in California the picture shifts to the | rough and mans type of story and
 becomes a typical Bosworth story.
 This part of the picture is pune tuated by numerous thrills. New land is thought dead, but much changed comes to the camp, where l his wife has found refuge after the wreck and is living. The man whom
 she is befriended by and who loves her is the owner of the mine. This
 makes the situation, and Bosworth's
 struggle for ideals out in the wild
 that he had not in the city makes the dramatic element.
 1 The scenes where the miners are
 agitated by malcontent and rebel
 and Bosworth proves himself q | leader of men are stirring and ap- pcaling to the primitive sense in a thrilling way.

CONTINUATION OF
 RECENT SELLING IN COTTON TRADING
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Fifty to Fifty-eight Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, June 2O.-There was a continuation of the recent selling movement in the cotton market which carried prices into new low ground for the session during to- days trading. october contracts, for instance, sold off to 1122c, making a net decline of S3 points and a break of over 2%c per pound as compared with the high price touch ed on the bullish crop conditions of last month That delivery closed at 11.51c with the general market closing steady at net decline of 50 to 5S points.
 The market opened easy at a de- to lower Liverpool cables. the con tinuance of the British labor trou- bles, and a favorable weather map. There were fallies of 10 or Is points from time to time during the morn ing on covering. but each of these bulges met increased pressure of liquidation. Wall street, western or southern selling and at times the latter was more active than it had been on the declines of last week. Apprehension that the refusal or British coal miners to accept pro- posed terms of settlement and their appeal to other unions for support would result in spread of the troubles to other trades seemed partly responsible for the selling. The favorable weather news, indi- cated beneficial showers in eastern belt sections, was regarded as point ing to an encouraging weekly re- port from the weather bureau on Wednesday, while the unsettled tone of grain and the stock market also contributed to the decline. July sold off to 1045c and December to 11.7Sc, with active months generally show ing net losses of 70 to SS points early In the afternoon. Trade interests including houses with Japanese con- nections, were credited. with buying on the break, however, and the mar ket rallied late in the day on cover ing which was promoted by talk or easier call money rates. Last prices showed rallies of some 20 to 70 rcints from the lowest on most posi- tions. July was relatively weak Ill Liverpool and private cables report lower spot offerings from the south Exports today were 1S,416 bales making 4,S06,SS0 so far this season Port receipts, 15,74S.

Setback In Wheat on Account of the
 Stock Market Slump
Fly Associated Press

Chicago, June 2O.-Wheat under went sharp set back in price today largely as result of depression In the New York stock market and In cotton as we'll. The close in wheat was heavy, 3 to 4c net lower with July s1.24% to $l.2o and Sept. $12o to 31.2oh. Corn finished A to %c down oats unchanged to @sc off; and provisions up la to 25c.
 Lack of confidence which seemed for at least the time being to have grabbed the majority of buyers in the wheat market proved to be much more than offset for bullish field adnavces from the spring crop belt. 2nd for disappointing harvest re- turns from the winter crop. One good rally took place, but otherwise , the bears had things much their own way. Bulls were handicapped to the greatest extent by the general un settling influence Of the action of stocks and cotton, but in addition tho prevailing favorable weather tor har- vesting was an inducement to sell which was emphasized by record breaking receipts at Hutchinson. Kansas 16s cars, and by the fact that that new wheat was beginning to ar rive in Kansas City. Besides. ex- port demand was slow. With a sub stantial increase shown in the visible supply total, buyers continued to bacl; e.way throughout the late dealings, and to keep an eye mainly on the downward swing of the stock mar ket.
 Absence of rain tended to check weakness in the corn market and thereby to help sustain oats. Pro- visions ranged higher with hogs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Rv Aasociafed Prese

New orleans. June 20-The decline in cotton continued unabated today. prices being lower on the opening and continuing to fall until the more active months were 59 to S2 points under the close of last week and ali months. T he close in the contract market were at new low records Tor tbe season and at the lowest levels in about [ years. July sank 10 9.93c and October to 10.75c. In the second half of the session the marke! had ar alto gether different tone and was plainly very much stronger in a tech- nical way for the recent selling. When shorts tried to take profits they checked the decline and brought about a reaction of about 25 points. On the close the tone was steady with prices showing net losses of o4 to 62 points, July closed at 10.15c.
 The depression started in Liver pool before the American markets opened and prices here on the op- ening were lower in consequence. In so far as was indicated by private cablegrams. the labor situation in Gi eat Britain was as unsettled as ever and this seemed to cause liaui- dation. Offerings increased on the wea stock market and on the favor able weather over the belt, the break ing of the drouth over large area in the eastern belt being accepted as rartiularly favorable. Much belated hedge selling put in appearance and the market was lowest when this selling was at its heighth.
 The storm report in the Gulf of: the west coast of Texas caused more or less uneasiness but led to little buying.

manages to get mixed up in a real romance, foils the villain and mar ries the girl.
 Naturally travelling salesman picture is going to be jovial and so- ciable, and this one is no exception. It opens with three salesmen on a train en route to small town. There is a little side line comedy here, where Fatty plays "das- tardly' trick on the other two sales men, who return the compliment by fooling him off the train at a de- serted Junction.
 The plot of the story is full of real interest and a sympathy for the girl who is being robbed of her home, and for the successful efforts of the travelling salesman, alias Fatty, to thwart the attempt to defraud the girl.
 Fatty makes his humorous and at Itractive personality felt well beyond the screen, and never misses an op- portunity to put over a humorous siruatiof.

LIQUIDATION OF

Call Money Opened at Five and 0ne-HaIf Per Cent, But Based to Five To-
 ward Close of Session
By Associated Press

New York. June 20.-Another wave of liquidation swept the stock mar ket tooay. Many important shares were driven to lowest quotations for 5 to 20 years. The decline was more embracing and violent than any movement last week. Confident op- erations of the short interest con tributed to the demoralization.
 Investment rails figured conspic. uously. Canadian Pacific extended last Saturdays break of five points with an additional loss of 4 points to 101, it's minimum quotation since 1901.
 Other gilt edged rails, notably Union Pacific, Reading and Norfolk and Western, together with score of junior or re-organized issues, for feited to 4 points.
 Greatest weakness was manifested however, by steel, railway equip ments, oils, motors, shippings, to- baccos and the food group. Sears Roebuck, May department stores. and Famous Players helped to swell tho reaction which eliminated with another break in Mexican Petroleum, United States Steel made its lowest of five years in the final dealings, falling to Il, loss of 8 b points.
 Call money opened at + per cent, but eased to 5 per cent toward the close. Time rates were quotabiy unchanged, but offerings were scarce Foreign exchanges were mixed. British French, Belgian and German rates eased, but Dutct, Italian, Swiss, Scandinavian and Central European bills held firm to strong.
 Liberty bonds and most foreign war Rotations were not materially affected by the weakness of stocks, but domestic rates, especially con yertible bonds, were heavy. Tota, sales par value, $12,450,000.

HUBBAnD's COTTON LETTER

New York. June -(Speeial )---
 lInfavorable cables from Liverpool Indicating little buying power in
 their market and continued labor
 troubles, acted as a depressing fea-
 ture in our market today. Continued
 selling came from the west south
 and Wall street on the weakness of stocks and favorable weather over
 the belt. The feature at one time
 was the buying of October for Jap-
 anese interests. while on the other
 hand, July was offered freely around
 the ring. showing considerable long interest in this month. New England is reported to have been on the4 buying side, picking up cotton quietly.
 The market has been well lqu.- dated and indications point to 2 large short interest at the moment. Therefore. we can anticipate sharp
 rally on any favorable news.-Hub- bard Bros. X Co.

pure melody act opens up the bill at the Lyric and proves one of the best on the bill. Two pretty girls play on the violin and harp and one sings very enjoyably. They are both good dressers and help their act along W ith fine personal appearance. They were much appreciated.
 After the melody act is md and Belmont in an act 0! types. This is d two woman act, one singing in brilliant costume while the other comes out in three types The sur rrise ending this act brought down the house.
 Next came one act play written by Edgar Allen Wolf. The general idea of the play is cleverly conceived but is hardly accorded the snappy t-eat- ment that such an idea would re- auire to put it across. The little grocery boy, however, got his lines well over the footlights.
 Blackfaces are welcome relief and the audience clepped the minute Joe Coffman and lsabell Carroll came CT, in burnt cork makeup. Coffmaa makes a nifty little speech and has a laugh that Is certainly contag sous. A good hand rewarded them at the close of the act.
 The last act proved to be one of the most popular on the bill. It is an eccentric comedy act. with music and dancing thrown in. An old 'rube" makes lots of fun with a comical song, rurally attired boy and girl entertain and dancer from the city dances a kind of hula. The act was much appreciatod

Whether q we'll known sucking fish, belonging to the genus Echeneis. was formerly used by the Indians tor catching other fish has been a subject of much discussion among naturalists. Reports of such use date back to Columbus. The meth cd. as reported. was to attach line around the tail of the echeneis. which would then fasten itself to another fish, so that the latter could be hauled in and netted. The echeneis will stand pull of 50 pounds CT greater.
