before an enthusiastic gathering of
500 members of the chamber and their
guests.
Following the speeches. a resolution
indorsinG the Burroughs joint resolu-
tion, now before the House judiciary
committee, giving national representa-
tion to the citizens of Washington.
was introduced by former President
Robert n. Harper. The resolution
petitions the judiciary committee to
report the measure favorably to the
House and orders copy of the reSo-
luton sent to the committee. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.
Justice Staford's Plea.
THE rights of franchise may be ex-
ercised by fairly representative body
in a community and be exercised for
the whole, but where whole commu-
nifty is disfranchised I cannot but feel
that the rights of freemen have been
set at naught." said Justice Stafford,
who was the principal speaker of the
evening.
For, disguise it as We may, no dis
franchised class is safe under our form
of government; still less is there safe
ty for a disfranchised community. No
material prosperity can take the place
of that feeling of security which at
tends the possession of political rights.
THE day on which we have met is
the halfway post, exactly half way.
between two of the greatest and most
solemn feast days of the republic-the
birthdays of Washington and Lincoln.
1t seems like good omen therefore.
that all unwittingly the 18th of Feb
ruary was chosen. The fitness lies
in the fact that we have met to con-
slider what position the city of Wash
ington is entitled to hold in the ma
tional governmental fabric, and to try
to answer that question with due re-
gard to what the father of his coun-
try designed for his namesake city. as
well as for the principles and truths
of government which have found their
eXemplar in Washington'S greatest and
truest son, Abraham Lincoln.
IF We wish to keep Lincoln in mind
as well as Washington" continued JUS
tice Stafford. ''the grant of representa-
ton and presidential suffrage to the
nearly half million people assembled
here. might have a tendency to make
them feel, and to make the whole coun-
try feel. that government off the people.

an immediate increase in wages took
place, varying from an average of

portion of women in each industry
receiving more than tn" minimum

no tendency to keep experienced and

NEW YORK COTTON Ry AsHOcIatod Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON Ry yAssnrlatsd Preas

New Orleans, July 5.-During the greater part of the session in cotton today the market was strong. and prices advanced in decided way, but In the late trading much of the good tone was lost and new selling ap- peared, mainly because of weakness in the stock market and because of tho report that American warships had been ordered to Tampico, and the close showed net gains of but II to 14 points. At the highest of the day the gains amounted to 30 to 35 points. October traded as high as 12.25c and closed at 12.05c.
 Tn the early trading much of the strength was derived from better Liverpool than due; which induced covering of the short interest. Much buying for long account plainly was done on last weeks crop reports by the government. Later the buying was continued on expectations of un- favorable weekly crop reports from the weather bureau tomorrow. More or less buying was due to signing of the peace resolution and to cable grams England indicating the British coal miners returned to work yester- day. Considerable attention was given to private messages from both Man chester and Liverpool to the effect that a large business was doing in both yarns and cloths, with China the best buyer of yarns.

The days business included 71.o00 bags of Porto Ricos. and 14.oOo bags of Philippine island centrifugals' at cents, and 12,000 bags of San Domingoes at 2xc centrifugal.

 The market for refined was ad- vanced 10 points by one refiner to b.40c, while others were unchanged at b.2o to 5.30c for fine granulated, and while there was a fair inquiry reported, the demand was not as ac- tive as expected. after the holiday.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S GREAT COMEDY AT TRIANON

Charlie Chaplin's appearance in "The Kid" has undoubtedly proved the famous comedy stars most phe- nominal success. During recent re- lease here it proved widely popular and a return engagement at the Tri- anon will give many much desired opportunity to see it again or for the first time.
 A recent issue of The Photodramat- ist, a magazine for photoplay writ CTS, pronounces "The Kid' in super comedy in motion picture production. The writer of the article believes that the great comedy success or "The Kid" is due to the serious back ground which brings out more forci- bly the side splitting mannerisms and antics of Charlie Chaplin.
 It is the stry of a window glazier who adopted a little founding that was laid on his doorstep. The found- ling's origin makes a dramatic story but the following events where the two ply big trade of window glaz- ing, increased by the small boys go- ing before the glazier and breaking windows, is anything but sad.

STAPLE WENT UP ON
 IMPROVED BRITISH INDUSTRIAL NE WIS
The General Market Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Fourteen to Eight
 cen Points
By Associated Press

New York, July 5.-The cotton matket was higher today. The in- fluence of the improved British in- dustrial situation as reflected in Manchester advices and the small crop indication of last week, was a check to selling, while covering was prompted by reports of firmer tone in the southern spot markets. Oc- tober advanced to 12.S4c, compared with 12 .03c, the low price touched just before the publication of the governments crop report last Friday and fl points net higher. That de- livery closed at 12. Gle, with the gem eral market closing steady at net advance of 14 to IS points.
 The market opened firm at an ad vance of 13 to 21 points in response to higher Liverpool cables and re- ports of an improving demand for goods in Manchester. The advance met some realizing, and local selling for reaction. and after showing net gains of about 20 to 27 points, prices eased off 10 or Is points from the best. Otherwise, however, there was no pressure against the market. which firmed up again during the carly afternoon on continued trade buying and buying for New Orleans account. Brokers with Japanese connection were particularly promi- nent buyers of early new crop months on the advance, which extended to 12. 03c for July and 13 .2Sc for De- cember. or about 30 to fl points above last weeks closing figures.
 Reports of a firmer spot basis in the south and a better demand from exporters contributed to the bulge, but demand tapered off later in the afternoon. and last prices were off fl om the best under profit-taking. There was not much comment on weather conditions over the holidays, but if anything. a little more rain would have been considered desr- able in eastern belt sections. It is reported that Lancashire spinners have decided to continue the short time schedule for another fortnight owing to coal shortage, but that bet ter orders are being received from both India and China.

Rain m Wheat Belt
 Bought q Decline in
 Chicago Pit Trading
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 5-Relief from ex- cessive heat in the northwest to- gether with rains there and in other sections brought about material de. clines today in the price of wheat The market closed heavy at 51a u 6h cents net lower with September S11511 to 1.16 and December $1.16 E to IF. Corn lost to 3Ac and oats IA to 2@2hc. In provisions the outcome varied from 15c decline to 1oc advance.
 Throughout the day, selling of wheat was fairly general and buying demand was anything but brisk es- peciauy in the last 30 minutes, when the lowest prices of the session wer reached The fact that values at Winnipeg had suffered and a decline was instrumental in putting the bulls here at a disadvantage. and so too were reports that Germany and Bel gium had been supplying their neecs by purchasing in Argentina. The chief bearish factor however, was the improved outlook in the domestic spring crop belt. Only temporary ral- lies were caused by assertions from a leading expert that because of the hot wave the forthcoming govern ment crop report would show re- duction of 25000,000 bushels in the estimated yield as compared with the last previous report. Decrease of the visible supply total was entirely ig- nored.
