ton opened steady at an advance Of
D TO 8 points today on reports OF
continued ofy weather in the cen
tral and western belts. There may
nave been a little selling on the
relatively easy showing OF Liverpool,
but offerings were comparatively
light and the market showed in
ereasing steadinesS after the publi-
cation OF the weather map, which,
according to local map readers held
out no promise of a break in the
central and western drouth.
AT the end Of the first half hour.
the market was about ) to is points
net higher. with the more active
new crop positions showing net ad-
vances Of 8 10 is points.
The cotton market ruled firm all
morning owing TO increasing fears
OF crop deterioration due TO the
drought in Central and Western
portions OF the belt. There was ac-
tive covering by shorts and July
traded up to 1915. October to 1916
and December to 1888 or 20 to 30
points above the early low and
about the same gain over the pre-
vious close. Around m~id-session the
prices eased a few points on profit
taking. But the undertone contin-
ued firm.

PADRE ISLAND
PARK PLANNED
State to Investigate All
Possibilities For
Public Center

A report that in investigation will
be made Of Padre Island and its en-
viron5 with the ultimate purpose Of
making an appropriate portion Of
this island a designated state park
In order that free fishing, hunting
and recreational privileges may be
preserved, was verified by @. G..
Richardson, secretary Of the
Brownsville Chamber Of Commerce,
who Is acting as chairman Of the
committee named 70 investigate.
The recent meeting Of the South
Texas Chamber of Commerce re-
suited in this action being taken.
Mr.. Richardson objected to the
resolution when IL was made. stat
ing that private interests were az
present spending large sums Of
money developing the island as a
recreation center, and that any ac-
ton on the part Of the state would
doubtless discourage these inter-
ests and curta.l further develop
ment.
He pointed out that individuals
working on this plan would doubt
less do the work on a more elaborate
scale than would the state. Plans
have been announced by private
concerns outlining construction Of
hotels, pleasure pavilions. cause
ways, and beach facilities, it was
pointed out.
The committee named at the
South Texas chamber meeting held
at Corpus Christi include G.. G.
Richardson, II. L. Yates, Sidney
Kring. and S. Maston Nixon. They
will make a report at the next meet
ing Of the body, Nh. Richardson ex-
planned Friday.
1t is considered probable that a
portion of Padre Island may be des-
ignated as a state park. but not the
part adjacent to Point Isabel.

Young displayed copies or the
Harrington Star and The Browns
Vile Herald, in which were adver-
tisements Of Ross Sterling's road

statements in these advertisements
are misleading. The first Is, he said,
that Sterling intends to take up the
entire outstanding bonded indebted
ness OF the county for state roads.

Young 'ccntemplates taking up

highways, which in many ase are
worn out either wholly or IN part.
Secondly, he objected TO Sterling's
ad statement that mo property tax
may v e be levied to pay the
bonds, and Young asserted that
the bond companies have already
notified Texas they would not buy
the bonds except on the basis OF
the states credit. That all state
road bonds in the United States are
based on state credit and that prop
erty taxes may be levied to pay
them. and that take 1t from Jim
Young-if those bonds are issued,
they will be mortgages against

Sterling with operating the state
highway department as a political
machine TO further his ambitions to
be governor.

One of the worlds most kaleido- scopic spots-the Shanghai "Bund' forms the colorful background of the opening sequences in Men Without Women" which makes it's initial appearance at the Coliseum Theater Saturday and Sunday.
 Glittering enough in themselves, these scenes are even more memor- able by contrast with the back ground for the rest of the story, the interior of submarine in the China Sea. Here, among the myr- fad pipes, valves, tanks and guages of the modern underseas craft, the unique drama works out to it's in exorable conclusion-a conclusion that is one of the most dramatic ever filmed.

Federal Judge
 Declares Dry Law Unconstitutional
U. S. ATTORNEY GENERAL MITCHELL TO PRESS APPEAL TO CLEAR UP TANGLE; FARM FER CAUSES TEST CASE

NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 1.-The de- decision of Federal Judge William Clark, declaring the 18th Amend ment unconstitutional on the grounds that it was improperly rati- fled by the several states. will be appealed to the U. s. Supreme Court immediately.
 Phillip Foreman, U. S. Attorney for New Jersey, has received orders from U. S. Attorney General Palmer Mitchell to begin preparation of the necessary papers to press the appeal in order to clear up the tangle. A preliminary petition will be brought up next Thursday, and it is hoped that the case may be argued in Feb ruary for a decision.
 Meanwhile presiding Judge Will liam N. Runyon and other federal judges of the state refused to abide by the decision of their colleague, and prohibition authorities an- nounced that arrests for violation of the prohibition laws will proceed as usual. Judge Clark, however, stood by his decision, declaring that the issue should be left to the peo- pie. All law" said he, depends on public opinion"
 William Sprague, farmer whose arrest for driving a beer wagon resulted in the decision, professed himself vastly amused at the ruling. but couldn't see how it had serious ly affected him. An interesting sidelight on the situation was a statement from Thomas Edison, cleo tridal wizard of Orange, N. J., re- his faith in prohibition, and his belief that prohibition en- forcement is gaining headway.
