COTTON MIXED
AND QUIET

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 G.N.SD.
The cotton market continued a
rather dull affair in later morning
trading. The distant months es-
tablished minor gains while other
contracts sold off a little further.
Trading was only moderately &C
tive. Lower Liverpool cables and
the Commodity Credit Corpora
tons statement that it intended
to place some of its holdings on
the open market during the COM
ing year, were factors behind the
easier tone of the market.
The trade. Liverpool, the Con-
tinent and the ring were buyers
against selling by the South. New
Orleans, and wire houses.
The Commodity Credit Corpora
ton also stated that it would ex-
tend loans due on February with
out setting a time limit on the
extension. About $3.50, 000, 900 in
loans on 100000 bales of the
staple mature tomorrow.
Toward noon the market held
steady at mixed levels. March
was quoted at 1913, off 4, May
11.03, off s; July 1881, off /, and
October 1899, UP 2 points.

Encouraged by its victory over

in a searching inquiry into opera

which exercise virtual control over
gas production throughout the
nation.
Under a consent decree OBJ

Court of Delaware Wednesday,
the Government will force the Co

ural gas pipe line from Missouri
through Indiana to Detroit.
Other Gases Studied

charged with attempting to block
extension Of the pipe line, to stifle
competition, Attorney era |

From other sources, 1t was
learned the Justice Department
investigation is along lines paral-
lei with those of the Federal
Trade Commission, which this
week forwarded to the Senate a
detailed report of monopolistic
conditions in the gas industry.
Citing extensive testimony OF
cities and civic groups which have
long waged a futile fight to OBJ
tain natural gas in communities

gas, the report struck vigorously
at large write-upS and stock water

REORGANIZATION of the District
of Columbia Paper Manufacturing
Company. under Section 77-B Of
the bankruptcy act, is sought by
the company's directors in a petit
ton filed today in the District
Supreme Court.
The plan provides for the issu.
ance Of 10-year first mortgage sink

of the outstanding first mortgage
per cent bonds. The new bonds
would 0e dated January l, 1886,
to mature January l, 1916.
A total of $414,876.62 has been
lost by the company from 1880 to
the end of 1885, the petition
states. Interest payment on the
bonds has been defaulted since
April /, 1881.
Losses Decreased
Pointing out that the company
has been forced to increase in
debtedness in order to continue
business, the petition says:
while the losses of the COM
pany have decreased each year
from 1882 to 1885, the latter
year still showed a loss of S13,-
O57.75 after deducting interest
at the existing rates, but with
out deducting depreciation. 1t
is apparent that some adjust
ment iC necessary to permit the
company to continue its bust
ness"
1t is proposed to issue to holders
Of the old 6 per cent bonds one
share Of common stock for each
500 par value of old bonds held.
The stock would be in lieu of past
due interest on the old bonds.
Woald Convert Loans
Bank loans aggregating 5000, 900
would be converted into five-year

dated January l, 1886, and falling

BRITISH SECRETARY
REPORTED RESIGNED
High Colonial Official Linked to
Budget Leak Probe-Son
Brokerage Employe.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 22.-Oficial and po-
litical quarters heard rumors late to-
day that j. H. Thomas, colonial secre-
tary, had resigned as result of the
British budget leak scandal.
The resignation which, it was ru-
mored, had already been accepted by
King Edward, was considered sensa-
tional aftermath to the To-day judicial
inquiry In which his name and that of
his son, Leslie, were mentioned promi-
nently.
Various witnesses, appearing before
the inquiry, testified they had heard
indirectly that friends of Thomas were
Informed Of certain tax increases to be
made last month in the government
budget for the 1861 fiscal year.
Leslie Thomas was employed by an
insurance brokerage house which was
said to have dealt in insurance against
increases in taxes.
The statement of the budget always
Is guarded carefully previous to its an
nouncement in the House of Commons
by the chancellor of the exchequer.

PRESIDENT QUITS
CAPITAL TONIGHT
To Visit Mother in Hyde
Park-Voices Hope Leh-
man Will Run.

President Roosevelt will leave Wash
ington tonight for Hyde Park, N. Y,
to spend the week end with his 81
year-old mother, Mrs. Sara Delano
Roosevelt, who is confined to her bed
with q broken hip, suffered in fall
more than q week ago.
Despite Mrs. Roosevelt's advanced
age, her physicians do not believe her
condition serious. The President,
however, Is concerned and is anxious
to see his mother and talk with her.
MIR. Roosevelt will arrive at Hyde
Park tomorrow morning, after an
overnight train journey, in time to
have breakfast at his mothers home.
He probably will return to Washington
Tuesday.
While away, the President is ex-
pected to give some personal attention
to the New York political situation re-
sulting from the announcement sew
eral days ago by Gov. Lehman that
he would not be a candidate to sue
coed himself. 1t is known that Mr.
Roosevelt is especially anxious to have
Gov. Lehman run again and the i'm
preston Is that he will find an oppor-
tunity during his stay at Hyde Park
to 60 over the matter with the New
York executive.
Hopes for Reconsideration.
Today at his press conference the
President said: Il can re-express my
feelings by saying I hope very much
that Gov. Lehman will reconsider his
determination to not be a candidate,
because New York State needs him"
This comment followed long talk
with Edward j. Flynn, secretary of
State of New York and Democratic
leader Of the Bronx.
Flynn, after the conference, had
told newspaper men Gov. Lehman
would be renominated by the Demo-
cratic convention next Fall. without
going into detail, Flynn intimated the
popular New York Governor would be
drafted if necessary.
Mr.. Roosevelt also told his press
conference today that his contem-
plated trip to Arkansas and Texas and
Vincennes, Ind, in the early part of
June appears fairly definite.
Speeches Are Scheduled.
His plans, which include a speech
or two in Arkansas for his old friend.
Senator Robinson, Democratic leader,
and an address at the Texas Cen
tennial celebration at Dallas, and
one in vincennes. we're contingent
upon the time Congress would ad-
journ. As the time approaches. the
President feels he will be able to get
away, If not on June 8, the date
originally set at least day or two
later.
The President explained today that
If Congress does not succeed in ad-
journing by June and decides to
take three-day recesses until it does
adjourn, he feels sure he can get away
from Washington long enough to
make this trip.
While the details have not yet been
worked out, the President said he
expects to be in Arkansas June 10,
Dallas, Tex. June IL. and Fort Worth

BY JOHN C, HENRY.

A court trial for Dr. Francis E.
Townsend was projected as posi-
bility today by Speaker Byrns, who
termed the old-age pension advocates
defiance Of House investigating COM
mittee "a plain case of contempt"
While the investigating group head
ed by Representative Bell, Democrat,
of Missouri planned action to have the
House seize Townsend and punish
him on a contempt charge, Byrns
told reporters:
Il expect the House to take what
ever action is recommended by the
committee"
As Speaker Byrns spoke. Townsend,
in Baltimore, said he'd rather go to
Jail" than submit to further congress
sional investigation of his plan to pay
5000 month to every one past so.
Amid an uproar, the elderly re-
tired doctor bolted the hearing yes
terday, protested against this COM
munistic dictatorship in Washington"
and established headquarters in Bal
timore hotel.
U. S. Attorney May Get Case.
After a conference with the group.
headed by Bell. Byrns said he believed
that instead of arresting and bringing
Townsend before the bar of the House,
the committee possibly would offer a
resolution referring the case to the
United States attorneys Office.
This step. he said. would be with a
view to having an indictment brought
against the physician in District courts,
charging Townsend with contempt Of
the House.
Byrns said he did not expect the
committee to bring the matter before
the House until some time next week.
DR.. James E. Pope, leader of rival
old-age pension movement. will appear
before the Investigating Committee at
2:30 pm. today.
The decision to shift their attention
to the Pope plan was announced by
the committee in a two-minute ses-
sion this morning. After making the
announcement the committee recessed.
Chairman Bell then told reporters
that the matter of DR.. Townsend's
defiance had been referred to coun-
sel'' for decision as to what contempt
action, If any, is to be taken.
Sullivan declined comment and Bell
refused to make definite that some
action would be brought against the
recalcitrant witness.
Two Courses Open.
It Is understood that two possibili-
ties are available In contempt action.
In either case the committee would
report to the House with lecon:men-
dation that the witness We cited. The
House then could decide whether to
try the defendant itself or refer the
case to the United States attorney.
Both procedures have been followed in
previous cases.
