When the letter Is received here,
the addressed person is asked TO

NEW ORLEANS, May 3. Rl-A
definite trend was lacking at the
start Of trading here Friday on the
cotton market with old crop months

Strength in the new crop futures
was attributed to the uncertainty re-
garding the coming yield. both as 70

government.
May was unchanged at ll.69 at the
first call but July was 2 points low
err at i1.74. October was up a point
at 11.36. December up 3 points at
11.42 and January up / at 11.45.
Liverpool reported that moderate
covering in the new crop months had
steadied the market there.
Gains of 3 10 8 points later were
scored by active positions as the
session progressed. Dealings were
running in light volume.
May continued to display easineSs,
dipping at 3 points TO l1.66. but
July at ii.78. Oct at li.42, Dec al

Harrington and the j. Crawford
Francis Shows, a suit brought as
the result OF personal injuries suf-
Iered by Scroggins when a swing"
uevice broke at the Valley Mid
Winter Fair Dec. 3, continued in
its second day here Thursday. In
dications are that the trial will
continue for at least two more DAYS.
The city was named co-defendant
In the suit on the theory that "A. L.
Brooks contracted with the carnival
IN his capacity as secretary OF the
Harrington Chamber Of Commerce.
Defense counsel has contended
that the city Is not liable, holding
that Brooks signed for the swing
device in his capacity as secretary
Of a Mid Winter Fair board made
up Of leading citizens from all
parts Of the Valley.
Judge "A. M. Kent has ~overruled
the city's demurrers drawn under
this theory.

SABOTAGE HINTED WHEN
MORRO CASTLE RuRNEn

Most appalling OF the disasters
which befel liners in the Havana
service was the burning Of the
Moro Castle off the New Jersey
coast the night Of Sept. 8 with a
loss Of 124 lives.
The possibility that sabotage
might have been responsible for
the catastrophe was limited at a
federal inquiry but never estab-
Ished.
FIR months after the burning
Of the MORO Castle, the liner Mo-
hawk sank in collision with the
Norwegian freighter Talisman with
a death toll Of As. The investiga-
ton into the circumstances Of this
disaster excited testimony that
failure Of the Mohawk's steering
gear TO operate properly made the
liner unmanageable.
Less than three weeks before the
Mohaw sank, the S. S. Havana
grounded on a Bahama reef. The
only casualty was a passenger who
died OF heart failure while being
taken off in a lifeboat.
The Magallanes. mentioned IN
connection with the arrest Of the
six suspected anarchists in Ha-
vana, Is a passenger liner operat-
ing between Spain and Caribbean

HAVANA, May 2. R-simul-

suspected anarchists, police ex-
pressed the opinion Thursday that
there was q possible connection
between the existence Of anarchistic
groups here and disasters which

ttfy the ship or ships to which they

the discovery of documents linking
the prisoners with an anarchist or
eanization in Barcelona, Spain.
Included among the documents,
they said, was a letter to the Ma
tfo-1l Maritime Transport Syndi-
cate giving the "anarchial salute"
The authorities said the letter ad-
vised that the transatlantic liner
