NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.-A
nervous market developed in the ear
ly trading in cotton today with the
storm in the West Indies finally be-
coming the controlling factor. Bet

Immediately there was a break I'M

hat was felt yesterday. October
dropped to 27.37c. Then attention
was directed to the storm and its
apparent course toward the straits
Of Florida and the fear was aroused
hat it would get into the Gulf OF
Mexico. A sharp rally ensued and
at the end Of the first hour of trad
ing October was at 27.7Oc with the
list % to 40 points higher than yes

The storm in the West Indies con-

SETS
RECORDFOR
MARCH
Four Inches on Level Noted Up
to 9 A. M.-To Clear
Tomorrow.

Today's snowfall is one Of the
heaviest single-day records for the
month of March in more than a
decade. according to the records of
the Weather Bureau. 1t is ex-
pected all records will be shattered
before tonight. Today's fall started
at 4:35 o'clock this morning and
by o'clock four inches of snow
had fallen, rate of nearly an inch
an hour. Indications are that the
fall will continue throughout the
day.
The closest approach to today's
record was in 1914, when four inches
fell in one day. though the rate
of fall was considerably slower.
During the following two days of
that year an additional inch fell,
bringing the total for the three days
to five inches.
Last year. on March ! and q,
four and one-half inches of snow
fell.
The record for a single snowfall
in March was established in 1911,
when it showed continuously for
three days, eight inches of snow
falling during that period.
The forecaster predicts that to-
days fall will continue through the
afternoon and evening and prob
ably tonight. There will not be
much change in temperature to-
night and tomorrow will probably
be fair.

Freedom OF Speech
Carried Too Far
For Judge

Decorum in Police Court was
torn to pieces when Anna Stew
enson, colored, was brought be-
fore Judge Mcmahon on a charge
of occupying condemned dwell
ing.
The case had come up for a
first hearing last December, at
which time Judge Mcmahon or
dered the woman to vacate. Yes
terday health authorities found
her still residing in the house, To-
Gated at $500 T street northwest.
Judge, I was only cookin'
sweet potatoes on a little gas
stove" she began.
"Just a minute" said Judge
Mcmahon; "listen to-"
But the woman kept on un-
needing the courts order.
''Listen!" shouted the court.
Still she persisted in her CONVEX
sation.
"Shut up! Give the Judge a
chance" cried Annals counsel,
as the entire audience in the
court went into an uproar. "11l
abandon the case if you don't"
She stopped, Judge Mcmahon
told her he would punish her if
she should remain in the prem
ises, and continued the case.

BUREAU
FIRE
Who Cut Hose in Printery Puz-
zIing Two Detectives and
Carter.

Who cut the fire hose on the
second floor of the Government
Printing Office Annex nearest to
where a fire broke out yesterday
morning which destroyed $15, 700
worth of valuable documents and
threatened the destruction of an
entire wing Of the huge print
plant.
Incendiary Theory Held.
Answer to this question is being
sought by Public Printer Carter,
who is conducting a thorough in
vestigation of the fire with head
quarters detectives on the theory
that the fire was of an incendiary
origin.
Convinced that the cutting of the
fire hose Is conclusive bit Of
evidence that the fire was set and
probably the work of a "firebug''
those working on the case are
nevertheless at loss to understand
the motive. The only one advanced
is that it was the work of someone
who ''harbored a grudge" against
someone at the big print plant.
Public Printer Carter said today
that the investigation will not be
concluded before tomorrow or the
next day.
Firemen who answered the call
believe that the fire did not origi-
nate from natural causes, and in
the official report of the fire mar
shall the $4,000 blaze has been
labeled "of suspicious character"
They point out that it is singular
the fires on the second and third
floors were separate and distinct
blazes.
No Cause Detected.
Public Printer Carter said today
that it is significant that they have
definitely established that the fire
did not originate through detective
or loose electrical connections.
h rough overheating, through
smoking or any one of several
other likely causes had it been
an accidental fire.
Detectives Larry O'Dea and Denis
Culinane have been detailed by In
spector Grant to find out who cut
the fire hose through a process
of elimination, and to fix RESPONSE
bility for the costly blaze. if they
possibly can.

CAMPAIGN
On AGAIN
FOR PAY
BILL
Educators and Voters in All
Parts of Country Will Be En-
listed for Next Session.

Preliminary plans for the Dis
trict public schools drive for
needed legislation at the Decem-
Der session of Congress have been
discussed and a national campaign
will be waged, Superintendent Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou declared
today.
Resume Pay BIZ Fight.
The teachers salary bill. which
went to a languishing death in the
House, is to seek support from
educators and voters in all sections
of the country, said DIR. Ballou. An
active fight for the measure win be
begun in the fall.
No one seems to know why the
teachers bill was defeated" DIR.
Ballou stated. There have been
many conjectures, but have yet
to find anyone with a definite
answer to the question.
However, the prospects Of its
passage by the next Congress are
bright. The reclassificat bill,
which promised to be q big boulder
in our path, has been passed, and
the $40 bonus, which the teachers
now receive, is to be ended in
1924. This will be an important ad-
ditional argument, and we have
other points to present"
Interest Allowed to Sag.
Asked whether the pay bill would
be redrafted, DIR. Ballou said IL was
too lily to answer that question.
He declared that the campaign
during the last Congress for the
bill failed largely because interest
had been allowed to sag for many
weeks. After the hearings, long
period of inactivity ensued. National
support came too late to save the
measure.
DIR. Ballou said the central citi-
zens' committee on schools should
prove a valuable aid in the cam
paign, despite the attitude Of Con-
gressional committees toward that
body at the hearings on the pay
bill.
"Mr. Glassier's committee pro-
ceeded in a gentlemanly and digni-
fled manner" said DR.. Ballou." and
as a result got a slap in the face" :
It was learned that the National
Education Association, which has in
the past given it's support to the
public schools Of the District, prob
ably will play a leading part in the
local campaign.

ALLEY LAW
MUST Be
OBEYED
District Commissioners Dis
cuss ProbIem-PoIice Sur
vey Ordered.

The District Engineer Depart
ment, under Engineer Commits
sioner Charles Keller, today be-
gan an investigation into condi-
tions in the alley dwellings which,
according to law, must be vacated
by June / next. The inquiry
was ordered, it is said, to find
the exact physical value of these
properties, now occupied by more
than 5000 persons.
The Commissioners are seeking
this information that they may
know accurately the effect that
the law will have when it is en-
forced the first day of next June
Survey By the Police.
Another survey will be made by
the Police Department, it is said.
Members Of the department, 1t is
understood, will inquire into health
conditions in these homes and ascer-
tain the number of persons to be
affected by the law.
The alley-closing law was the
subject of discussion at the meet
ing of the Board of Commissioners
today. The Commissioners, it is
said, have no wish to enforce the
law. However, they have been adj
vised that there is nothing else to
do but get the people out Of the
alleys within the prescribed time
limit.
The possibility of numerous small
rental houses being erected to care
for the alley jewellers loomed today.
Several real estate firms, it is said,
have under consideration plans for
erecting small and moderate priced
buildings.
DweIIers Are Optimistic.
On the other hand, alley dwellers
are said to be optimistic, feeling that
something will happen before June
TO permit them to remain in their
homes.
A suit in the District Supreme
Court asking an injunction restrain
ing the Commissioners from enforc-
ing the law will probably be filed
before June 1. Several lawyers, rep
resenting owners of these houses, it
Is said, are prepared to attack the
constitutionality of the alley act.
Two organizations also have been
busy arranging a financial plan TO
build suitable homes for the alley
dwellers. The arrangements have
advanced to the point where con-
tractors are being consulted SO that
estimates may be had at the earliest
possible moment and the building
program begun Immediately.
The organizations are the Emer-
gency Housing Association and the
Alley Improvement Association, and
the work is being carried on under
the direction of the Rev. J. Milton
Waldron.
DIR. Waldron's Plans.
The flaw in the eviction plan,
which is primarily to clean up GER
tain sections Of the city, has been
that there are not any suitable
houses in Washington where those
who are evicted can move. 1t is
the intention of DIR. Waldron to ar
range for the construction of as
many homes, suitable in size and
location, as will be necessary to
care for the alley jewellers.
While the completion Of a suffi-
cient number of small homes to
care for the alley people cannot be
expected for some time, it is the
purpose Of the organizations to be-
gin the work at once and gradually
absorb alley inhabitants by sec
tions. Under present plans, it is
possible to accomplish this in three
years, DIR. Waldron said today.
