GROUND

NEW YORK, Aug. % GN.S0.
Cotton futures continued into
new high ground on the recov-
cry movement today.
With Liverpool unchanged to
six American points higher than
due prices, the market opened UP
four to seven points and extended
its gains in the later trading.
Little Selling Pressure
The upturn resulted more from
the lack of any important selling
pressure than from aggressive
buying. Foreign and domestic
trade furnished the main source
of buying with Wall Street and
commission houses purchasing
moderately.
Hedge and Southern selling
was combined with outside liqui-
dation in october.
The market was aided by re-
ports from south Texas that

fered and were apparently will

Weather Report Good
The cotton crop continued to
make satisfactory progress in
most of the belt during the past
week, according to the Govern
ment'S weekly weather report.
The week was moderately cool
and rainfall mostly light.
Midday prices were up 10 to IS
points, with October up 10 at

The requests Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to inaugurate store-door deliv-

to the consignee direct-was taken under
consideration BY the Interstate Com.
merce Commission after hearing argu-
i1entS yesterday.
Under the proposed plan all ship
ments within 260 miles of the point OF
origin would be delivered without adol-
tional cost, while above that distance
there would be a graduated scale OF
charges ranging upward to 6 cents per
100 pounds. The service would be op-
tional with the customer
The case came before the commission
when the Pennsylvania, the Boston &
Maine, the Maine Central and the Erie
Railroad filed tariffs with the commits
sion to start such delivery service.
1t would affect the entire Eastern
section of the country and opponents
contended If IT were allowed to become

The opponents, including most OF the

railroads would lose car load shipments

Corsica's Last Bandit.

Andre Spada, Corsica's favorite and
practically only surviving bandit has
surrendered. Back of that simple
statement Of fact, just cabled, is a
long story of romance and tragedy
1t is the end Of man hunt that has
lasted for eleven years, and probably the
end of q tradition. Spada-the name
means "the sword'-the son Of a poor
charcoal burner, went into the wilds
Of Napoleon's native island in 1922
after he had shot two gendarmes as
they were arresting one OF his friends.
He became the leader of a band of
outlaws, preying upon travellers, main
tanning a veritable system of tribute
and forced tolls for the use Of the
roads, defying the law openly and
acquiring a legendary character with
the people, who regarded him with awe
and admiration. He was even respect
ed as a sort of Robin Hood, for he ap-
pealed to the superstitions Of the Cor
sicans and by occasional good deeds in
behalf Of the very poor he gained a
certain degree Of sympathy. which was
source Of refuge for him when he
was chased by the police and troops.
At one time the French government
organized an expeditionary force Of
some six hundred men, with tanks and
light artillery, for the purpose Of break
ing up the band. After some weeks of
toilsome securing Of the ''maquis," or
dense mountain forests. the soldiers
rounded up several Of Spadas lieu
tenants and followers, but the chief
himself escaped in small boat to
Sardinia. AS soon as the troops were
withdrawn he returned to Corsica and
resumed his depredations. But his
power was broken. his band dispersed
and at last he became deranged men,

Richly Deserved Criticism.

II might be supposed that the ringing
denunciation by Justice William Hitz,
in the District Court of Appeals, of the
chaotic condition regarding the owner
ship and operation of taxicabs in Wash
tngton would lead to remedial legisla-
ton Said Justice Hitz:
The present methods of selling motor
ears and licensing public vehicles lead
naturally TO the present situation of
cut-throat irresponsibility in public
service of great Importance and daily
danger to many persons. While our
duty is to apply the law as we find it,
In this respect we find it so unsatis-
factory that we feel impelled to suggest
that some change should be made,
either by legislative enactment or by
municipal regulation.
Perhaps an improvement Of this sit
uation can be found in a system of
compulsory insurance, preliminary to
the license and running of the car, in
favor of any one injured by its negli-
gent operation under an arrangement
with the licenSee, such as many of our
States now have and such as appears
to have covered hackney coaches in
London for hundred years.
But q compulsory liability insurance
bill has been before Congress for years
It has been urged by the Public Utili-
ties Commission and by many others
The Public Utilities Commission has
taken advantage Of the decision by
Justice Hitz to urge passage of the bill
again. Unfortunately, 1t is still uncer-
tain whether there will be any action
