Mr. Elli- son reports consumption by British mills for the month of February a. rate of 80,000 bales per week against 74,000 last year, and conti- nental mills used cotton at rate of 110,000 bales per week, against 178,000 last year. Stocks held by spinners on March 1, are estimated by him at 685,000 bales for Great Britain, against 669,000 last year, and 1,822,000 bales for the conti nental, against 1,451,000 last year making a total European mill stock of 2,507,000, against 2,120,000 last year. The uneasiness of the European political situation noted in .various , markets today, resulted from an item in the London Daily Telegraph, which stated that possibility of an acute crisis is already engaging the . , attention of more than one of the great " ppwers, and another London item reported that war rumors, based on misleading information as to an alleged concentration of Rus sian troops on the Austrian frontier . had caused a panic on the Bourse of St. Petersburg yesterday. On the whole, there seems to have been lit tle basis for the alarmist reports Our market was quiet and steady today, with trading mostly evening up over the week-end. There was at all times good Bupport from the bulls. Southern spot markets con tinue firm above a parity and the market looks a purchase on declines, New York Cotton. Open. High.

In Europe there is a fear of political trouble arising from the Italian war with Turkey, which, together with the labor situation in England, brought that market some two points lower than expected. Opening some seven points, lower the" market slowly rallied on fear of a possible rain over Sunday, closing about !! to 4 points lower. The trade feel that no decline Is imminent because of the supposed position of the large houses on the long side, and, therefore, while not quite so bullish, they do not see any decline unless Europe should give way. They fear the weather may continue unseasonable and therefore expects a recovery at any moment. Cotton Seed Oil.

NO DIVORCE MILL THERE Representative Johnson Will Pro tect the Xatlonal Capital. Washington, March 16. Repre sentative Ben Johnson, of Kentucky, chairman of the house District of Columbia committee, gave out a siz zling interview in which he declared his opposition to the pending bill attempting to enlarge the legal grounds for divorce In the District of Columbia.' Mr. Johnson declared himself opposed to the transforma tion of the seat of the national cap ital into a "divorce mill." "I have -been a member of three legislative bodies," declared Chair man Johnson, "the Kentucky house, the Kentucky senate, and a member of congress. I have never yet, in my legislative experience, either di rectly or indirectly, sought to stran gle a bill in committee. I see, how ever, that an attempt is to be made in. the District of Columbia to en large tne legal grounds of divorce. "In the capital of this great nation there Is but one cause for absolute divorce. The nation is to be con gratulated that the American con gress has said by statutory law that in that portion of the United States controlled exclusively by congress, the Biblical' cause alone shall be grounds for absolute divorce. -: "I wish to declare that I shall use, to the fullest extent, every leg islative function within my reach to prevent the repeal of this law In the nation's capital. That this law may not be repealed I, as chairman of the committee on the District of Columbia, will use all of my efforts, either in committee or out of it, to defeat such a bill. "The laws in the district relative to divorce from 'bed and board' are ample to meet every other contin gency which may arise in the martial relation. If I accomplish" nothing else ih life other than prevent the national capital from becoming a di vorce mill, my life with all its fail ures, will have been to some advan tage to my country's honor." $37.80 DUE ROOSEVELT Colonel Earned That Sum by Re porting for Grand Jury. Oyster Bay, N. Y., March 16. Col. Roosevelt earned $37.80 as a juror, but probably never will re ceive any money. After he had been excused from further duty at Mine ola today a court officer advised him he could claim mileage at the rate of 8 cents a mile for the dis tance between Oyster Bay and the county seat. By railroad the dis tance is 15 miles, so that Col. Roose velt is entitled to $1.20 for each of the nine days of his service as 1uror He left the courthouse without putting In the claim, or producing tne subpoena which qualifies jurors ,to receive $3 a day, so that the $27 in fees and $10.80 mileage allow ance which the colonel has earned probably will remain in the county treasury. Col. Roosevelt did not conceal the fact that he was disappointed at not having served in at least one case. He Baid he had always believed that men who are prominent in business or public life should do their share of public work particularly in serv ing on juries, and It was lareeiv be cause of his view's on this subject that he did not avail himself of the immunity which he might have enjoyed at the outset. Soveral lawvers in the court took the position that if the former presi dent were in the jury box attention in the courtroom would be concen trated upon him rather than the case on trial, and for that reason they were ready to challenge him should his Jiame be drawn again. ARREST AS 3 GHOULS Pittsburg, March- 16. Harry II. Perkins, of a firm of local detectives. and James McKane, an employe, were arrested for conspiracy here to day by officers from Erie, Pa, Almost simultaneously Mortimer H.

Scott, in Erie, in February, 1911. Tho men furnished bail of $1,000 for a hearing at Erie, March 23. At the Bame time warrants wore issued for Gilbert Perkins, father of Harry, who was head of the detec tive bureau, and Charles Franklin, former manager of the bureau's Phil adelphia branch. Gilbert Perkins and Franklin were convicted ol. blackmail In connection with some "black hand" letters sent to Mrs. Charles Strong, of Erie, during the investigation of the vandalism a year ago, and were taken to Leavenworth prison from this city last Tuesday. The charges are said to have been the result of a conspiracy to cause the desecration of the tomb, that the detective agency might be employed to unravel the alleged mystery. Several days after the convictions of Perkins and Franklin, Inspec tors Hutchinson and Oldfleld, who had worked on the Investigation of the black hand letter a year ago, temporarily resigned from the gov ernment service, and entered the em ploy of Mrs. Strong, to run down the vandals of her father's tomb.
