Cotton Goods HGUe
 Remained Generally
 Quiet the Past Week
By Associnted rress

New York, April S.-Cotton goods have continued generally quiet and there is still considerable price un- settlement reported Fine ginghams for fall were reduced in price nearly 20 per cent to meet foreign compe- tition on combed yarn goods while the demand for the coarse styles has been increased in consequence of the curtailment of production in New England affecting %, 900 looms. Print cloths have become less active and have recovered little in price. Brown sheetings hold steady with further business for export reported and some larger inquiries from do- mestic sources having come to light in the past day or two. Bleached cottons are very quiet and have been selling on the basis of 9h cents for A, 64x60s. plain finished. Some of the colored cottons are slightly easier in price in second hands but mills are still busy on past orders. Some of the leading branded lines of sheetings, sheets and pillow cases have been withdrawn as mills have sold their output ahead for the next 60 days. Other lines are not selling so freely In wash goods lines the most active cloths are ging- hams and novelties in tissues and ratines. Some of the specialties in printed wash fabrics are moving well while the staples are slow The strikes in New England have contracted the production of cotton blankets and domets very seriously and some man. ufacturers not affected by labor troubles have withdrawn their lines from sale, having sold as much as they can handle at this time
 Prices current in primary chan nels are as follows: Print cloths 2S- inch 64x64s. 61ac; 64x60s, 6Ac; 3Sh- inch 64x64c, 7%c; brown sheetings, southern standards 11hc; denims, 2.20s, indigo, lie; tickings, S-ounce. standards, 25c nominal; prints, lie; staple ginghams, 161ac; dress ging- hams 20D22I1c

Washington. April S.-This week
 we bade farewell to Margot Asquith;
 next week we will welcome Lady Astor. The visit of Margot has brought about in some quarters n
 renaissance in the belief that women can exert the greatest power in po-
 litical affairs through indirect in | fluence."
 The visit of Lady Astor will strengthen the right arms of the
 ladies who believe in the direct meth cd of dealing with politicians-thnt of brandshing votes in their faces. The two British guests of ours rep resent two opposing schools of thought among the women and con- troversy is rampant in Washington just now as to which of the two feminine influences. the direct or the
 indirect, is the more effective in shaping the course of history. The business of being power behind the throne" in which women have engaged since the days of sam son, was supposed to have gone blooey when the new woman entered
 the field with ballots in her hand The importance of indirect influ- once" has been much minimized since
 the enfranchisement of women, but
 it has been flourishing, nevertheless,
 in a quiet way in the capital. and
 since the publication of Margot's $
 memoirs. and her visit the business
 of indirect influencing has been ac-
 tually booming.

 mier? With the advent of Margot those wives in official Washington who had not already got into the game of making husbands and .mixing a finger into national legis- lation hurried into it and then some
 senator spilled the beans all over the Senate floor when he mentioned the
 existence of social bloc" We have
 two women in this country who will do for purpose of contrast what Mar got does to Nancy.
 We have an Alice Roosevelt Long
 worth, who is reputed to have a subtle influence upon national leg islation through the instrument of a social political salon. and we have a Maud Wood Park, the leading woma T lobbyist, who boards legislators In their offices, waving her ballot as she would a mallet in demanding better baby legislation, equal prop erty rights, etc.
 To the public at large the former Princess Alice has disappeared from the picture. What has become of Princess Alice is a query upon the lips of those who chance to remem- Der the dashing and daring feminine figure of the Roosevelt administra-
 tion. She is not now in the public eye and she means to stay out, never submitting to an interview and never becoming interested in the various causes of women. To be a silent in-

fluence and invisible power, that it Is said is her desire. One sees her day after day sitting in the gallery of. the Senate retaining all of the careless fascination of her girfhood intent upon the discussion on the floor One hears of her dinners where the powers that be break bread and gossip puts two and two together, calling her drawing room political salon.
 Feminine Charm
 Both Mrs Longworth and Mrs. Park, in common with Mrs. Asquith and Lady Astor, possess feminine charm that is 100 per cent In each, this charm is potent in obtaining political ends and each exerts 1t in Ter own individual way.
 And now the Newberry case takes on an up-to-date and unique interest for women. It has become one of the issues of the congressional campaig and is of peculiar interest to women, because it was said that women were largely responsible for the election of Newberry to the Senate It was charged that Newberry floated in upon a flood of pink teas and this was the first big job credited to women through use of their 'indi- rect influence" It was done at those little meetings of senator's wives in the marble room of the Senate each Tuesday, where they partake, of a picnic luncheon, There it Is said. the socially prominent and popular Mrs. Newberry won over to her cause the majority of the ladies. of the Senate. One of them said pretty generally around that she'd like, to see her husband come home if he failed to clear MT. Newberry.
 Now at the republican headquar- ters, the women who wield i"direct influence" are preparing to defen i Newberry. Their most experienced organizer, Miss Edna Annette Bever- idgc, has been sent out to Michigan, where hot fight is being waged m the primaries to defeat Senator Townsend, who voted to seat New berry in the Senate
 At the democratic headquarters, Mrs. Emily Newell Blair said that the Newberry issue was interesting women. because of the moral princi- pie involved.
 Tn times gone by.'' she said, it was claimed by suffragists that cor ruption in politics was caused by the money spent by the great liquor in- terests. Now these same set of in- terests no longer exist and corrupt politics would have a hard time in subsisting were it not for the fact that rich men are inclined to spend large sume for election to office"

PLAN NEW SCHOOL
Bond Issue May Be Ordered in
 Decatur


 Decatur, April Especial )-The Decatur city council, meeting in reg ular session last night, received a communication from the Decatur school board, requesting the council to take steps looking toward the call ing of an election to determine whether or not bonds in the sum of s25,o00 shall be issued for purchase of lot for the new high school building.
 The council probably will hold . special session to take up the re- quest Several sites have been under consideration by city and educational officials for the new building, but 1t is estimated that a lot, of the size be- tieved to be necessary for the building and campus. would cost quite a few thousands of dollars.
 The citizens of Decatur recently voted a bond issue of s100,000 for erection of a new building.

100000 Rounds of Ammunition Ex-
 plode at Hartselle <

Albany, April s.-(special.)-Th battle of the Marne was realistically re-enacted when the armory of Troop c. of the cavalry corps, was burned at Hartselle Friday night.
 The company had 10000 rounds of ammunition stored In the building and the explosion of the cartridges prevented fire fighters from properly combating the blaze.
 Braving the fire, as many of them had done in France, members of the troop fought theoretically to save the troops horses and only one of the animals met death. The remainder were saved from the burning build ing.
 The structure was owned by Capt. Richard Burleson, commander of the troop. His loss probably will be s- 200. partially covered by insurance. governments loss in equipment. is said, will reach nearly s20.000.
