COTTON EASIER

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 30. p
Cotton experienced an easier open
ing owing TO unfavorable Liverpool
cables. First trades showed losses OF
from five to seven points. Later.
during the first hour, prices rallied
two &c five points from the lows
but trading was very limited owing
20 the impending new years holiday.
Al the end of the first hour the
market was quiet with prices fluc-
tuating narrowly within a range Of
two to three points.
The market ruled quiet all morn
ing owing TO holiday influences but
some trade buying and covering BY
shorts in advance of the holidays
caused prices to rule slightly high
er. March traded up to 1907 and
May 10 1888. or nine TO ten points
above the early lows and three TO

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. r UP)-- Mother Earth has been trembling mysteriously for more than three days
 Since Sunday. an ineXplica ble shaking of the worlds crust has been recorded on the instruments of the Harvard seismograph station. Today the shaking, which reached a climax late yesterday, was still noticeable, but appeared to be dying out grad ually.
 Seismograph station authorities reported that the ground moved back and forth rhythmically and constantly. taking about six seconds to complete each swing. While the ground did not move more than five thousandths of an inch in either d. rection, they said, even that repre- sents tremendous forces at work 10 maintain such motion for hours ard cays."

FOREIGN RELATIONS GROUP
 CASTS VOTE OF 10 TO g
Says He Voted to Save Court From Needless Black Eye and to Save Legislative Jam Which Would Imperil Emergency Relief and Annual Appropriations stall Immediate Fight.

Washington, Dec. II LP-The senate foreign relations committee today voted to defer consideration Of the world court until next De- cember. The vote was 10 to 2.
 Senator Reed, republican, Penn sylvania, made the motion to post pone consideration. Republicans, in cluding friend and foe of the court, joined him almost solidly. Demo- crats voted unitedly against the post ponement.
 Chairman Borah of the commit tee, an opponent of the court, and Senator Gillett, of Massachusetts. an advocate. were the only republicans to vote against deferment.
 By this move, the republicans forestalled any chance of the court issue becoming involved in thls short session which ends March i.
 The committee decided to hear F,lihu Root, former secretary Of state, who helped to draft the revls- ed statutes of the world court which were modified in an effort to bring about an agreement among the oth- CT powers and the United States on the senate's reservation.
 The vote in the committee fol- lows:
 For postponement-republlcans: Johnson. California; Moses, New Hampshire; Capper. Kansas: Reed, Pennsylvania; Fess, Ohio; Golf. West Virginia; LaFollette, Wiscon- sin: Nandenberg, Michigan. and Robinson of Indiana.

 Against - Republicans: Forah. Idaho. and Gillett. Massachusetts.
 Democrats Swanson, Virginia: Pittman, Nevada; Robinson, Arkan- sas; Harrison. Mississippi; George, Georgia; Black, Alabama. and Wag- neT. New York.
 The attitude of the friends Of the court who voted for postponement was expressed in a statement by Senator Nandenberg.
 "I voted 10 save the world court from a needless black eye through inevitable failure at this short scs- sion" he wrote, and I voted to save this session from an inevitable legislative jam which would imperil emergency relief and annual appro- priations and thus force an extra (Continued on Page Two)
