slightly larger than expected and the
cotton market eased off nearly 50 a
bale in early trading today.
The larger g~innings and pool Liver
pool cables were responsible for an
opening loss Of 81 TO 80 points and
the market continued to ease off af-
ter the start on prospects for rain in
the West. March sold off 10 1911,

points net down.
The decline attracted some trade
buying and at the end Of the first

The market weakened again later
in the morning on selling induced by

'SPEAKER'
HEARD A mile
Device Intended For
Public Addr e 8
Proves Success

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-tRl-New
possibilities Tor outdoor audiences
were in prospect today.
A scientific echo, consisting Of an
ordinary telephone and loudspeaker,
.nrew a human voice n mile
across the Hudson river in an ex-
pertinent by engineers Ct the Bell
Telephone laboratories.
The demonstration v-~s designed to
prove that the newly developed loud
speaker would enable 1000 900 per-
sons in an area up to a mile away
TO hear public addresses or other
reproductions of sound.
In a test of the device r. W. King,
engineer in charge Of the demon
stration, stood with a marty on a
bluff in Hoboken on the New Jersey
shore and spoke into a telephone in
ssrument connected with the loud
speaker, which was on top OF the
Bell laboratories building a mile
away, in lower Manhattan.
Hello, Schwartz. can you hear
me ?" he said quietly.
Five seconds elapsed. Then,
booming across the river, the little
party heard the voice returned:
"Hello, Schwartz, can you hear me?"
Turning to the group, King laugh
ed triumphantly. In five seconds,
enormously magnified. a hearty "hal
ha! hal" returned across the river
from the loud speaker.
Hello. ferry boat, signal If you
hear us" called King, and the re-
quest was repeated from the loud
speaker. There was a toot from one
Of the river boats.
AS a finishing touch to the dem
o~nstration, Kings wife. from their
Short Hills. N. j., home. sang into
a telephone. Believe Me, II All
Those E~ndearing Young Charms"
and the group on the bluff listened
TO the song as il was repeated from
the Manhattan roof. A photograph,
playing "Poet and Peasant" pro-
duced equally good results.
The loud speaker, King said. is
not a new device but combines -
a single instrument most Of the i'm
portant discoveries and inventions
in the field up to the present. II
is Of the horn type.

most Rev. Charles F. Darcy, primate
Of ireland, avs in a letter printed in

Il an also confident the people Of
England will recognize that the An
giic7n representatives at Malines
were ready TO give away those lib
critics which men of the British race
prize more deeply than life itself"
the letter said. "If history has any
lesson to teach, il surely is that the
people Of England, while very toler-
ant and slow to move, will never sur
render their freedom and bend their
necks beneath a spiritual despotism.
1T is st~artingly clear that the sue
cessful outcome of the Malines move
ment would destroy the Protestant
character Of the church of England.
II would also completely alter the
position of all churches in connection
with that church. Such churhes are

playing with her brothers. An in
truder in her apartment here was so
bunged up from two cigarette boxes,
weighing two pounds each, a Chinese
brass ornament and a bronze match
holder that be told the police he was
glad to be arrested. He held up his
hands when Mrs. Houseai had q
Persian vase weighing ten pounds
ready to heave. A man entered Mrs.
Sarah Rosenbergs grocery in Brook
lyn and ordered two cans of peas. As
she was getting them he pointed a
pistol and demanded all the cash.
Mrs. Rosenberg gave him the peas
right in the face and yelled. When
the police appeared he was still try
ing in vain to dodge groceries.
PHILADELPHIA-Maude Royden,
who is impressed by the revelation
Of God contained in modern science,
would have the Bible rewritten scien-

This tree bears poEonous fruit; II
you eat of it you will be sick"
