Discouraged bulls In this market let go freely. The weather may showed decidedly im- proved weather conditions over the cotton country and this helped the bears to some extent. The market was steadied by the covering of short cotton over the -week-end. This furnished the bulk of the buying. At the end of the first half , hour of business prices were 10 to 12 points down. Little or no suport was offered the market at any time , during the ses sion. Bears were encouraged by the fore cast of fair, weather for the cotton belt over Sunday and also by the fail ure of the bulls'" to' "press "the advan tage given them- by the settlement of the Lancashire labor troubles.

Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 20. With the shippers believing themselves to bo practically in control of the situation with reference to the proposed "Liver pool plan" of- validating bills of lad ing on cotton shipments because of an interstate commerce commission reg ulation which forbids railroads giving information concerning lading bills without permission of shippers, the conference of Southern cotton men and English representatives met here todav' , ' . v. The first session, which was held In the forenoon, was executive. Announce ment was made that no Intimation of the proceedings would be permitted to be given out until later in the day when, it is expected something in the way of a definite, agreement will be made. - , H. Kern, chaiman of the Liverpool cotton bills of lading conference com mittee, and James II. Simpson, sec retary of the European bankers' con ference committee, suggested that such a meeting as is In progress today be held. , ... The so-called Liverpool cotton bills of lading plan provides for a central bureau which shall have the power to validate such paper before funds may be advanced upon the cotton it presumably represents. It is to the central bureau in principle that the southern cotton shippers almost with out exception object. The claim that they do not desire to be classed with shippers whose methods are irregular. One reason for the movement to form some plan for validation is under stood to have been the involving ; of a large cotton firm after allegations (J fraudulent transactions connected with cotton bills of lading.

Cincinnati, Jan. 20. The crowds that gathered about Rev. Dr. W. D. McFarland and the detectivew ho had him in charge became so unruly in their rush to see the preacher accused of responsibility for his former secre tary's death this morning that traffic policemen were obliged to break up the rapidly gathering mob. Then a special escort 5f police was put under the Pittsburg detectives command when he declared : he thought at tempts were being made to kidnap his preacher prisoner. . . McFarland arrived herejast, night from Knoxville on . his . way to Pitts burg where he has been indicted, ac cused of having (performed an opera tion on Elsie Dodds Coe, his former secretary, that resulted in her death. When McFarland, in .the custody of a Pittsburg detective, Jeft - the hotel for- the train this morning reporters and photographers gathered about the prisoner, then edestrians jolnedp in attemts to get a sight of him. The detective became worried, appealed to the police and he was given an escort of patrolmen to guard tho prisoner until he was placed on atrain. McFarland refused to talk while here. " Potter Charlton Is Entirely Sane By Associated Prees. New York, Jan. 20. Porter, Charl ton who murdered his wife,- Mrs. Marv Scott Charlton, at Lake . Como, in Italy in 1910, is entirely sane, ac cording' to the prosecutor of Hudson county, New Jersey, and the jail of ficers. He is In splendid health . At the office of the prosecutor It was said tnere was absolutely no chance of the young man being re leased on bail. He will remain in jail pending the outcome of proceedings which-are to determine whether he is to be returned to Italy for trial. The cae is now before the supreme court of"the United States and a decision is ' not expected before . some time earljin,-1913. - . .f - : IIDLUliTEER COMMITTEE TO SOLICIT The amount of money ' needed to insure the coming to Charlotte of the Norfolk-Southern Railwav wft? -not secured, at the meeting last night at the Selwyn. ; ; - But the business men of the city are not going to give up. Instead, they are rallying their forces to renew the fight. A more strenuous cam paign than has yet been instituted has been planned -for today and Mon day. - .. As an indication of the determina tion to have the new road come here the following , named citizens, volun teered this morning to constitute themselves r. committee to take the city, ifi a block-by-block canvass be fore Monday night, when the final rally will take place in the assembly hall of the Selwyn hotel: The Volunteers. W. D. Wilkinson, Frank Jones J. E. Murphy, W. S. Alexander, D.' P. Hutchison, H. N. Pharr, T. M. Shelton J. F. Flowers, J. L. DeLane, B.' Alexander, H. G. Stuart, J. W. Mc Cung, J A Houston, E. V. Patterson, E. C. Griffith, W. M. Powell and L. L. Caudle. These gentlemen volunteered to assist the committees already at work. If there is not money encugh in sight by Monday night, at the final wind-up of the proposition, it will be due to the tight-wadedness of the cit izens at large and not public plrHed ness, and liberality and work to the committees. CITIZENS MUST COME CROSS. "The opinion seems to prevail," said an enthusiastic worker for the catise this morning, onew ho knows a great deal about the Norfolk Southern bus iness," that ther ailway will come here' anyway. That is- a mistaken idea, as the railway people have said positively that the road comes here if the sum asked for is raised. Otherwise it will not. "The city is face to face with th most important proposition that has been laid before it in a quarter of a century," he continued, "and It is in conceivable that Charlotte, the larg est city in thestate, should let the op portunity pass." Public spirit has been shown in a marked way relative to the matter to day. If the other business Interests of the city should respond in the style mentioned below, the needed amount would soon be raised and it is believ ed that these examples will be repeated betore Monday, evening.- The American Trust Company this moraine notified the comnauv that the officials and employes of that institu tion would double their subscription of yesterday, making it $5,000. The Commercial National Bank officials and employes of the bank also raised the subscription of that institution to $5,000, while Mr. E. D.
