Miss Clara Barton, Most Widely
Known American Woman
Passes.
Washington, April 13th, -Miss Clara
Barton, founder of the American Red
Cross, and probably the most widely
known American woman of her dy.
r'ied at her home. Red CrosB, in Glen
Echo, Md , yesterday morning at nine
o'clock. She was 9.1 years old.
Miss Barton suffered an attack of
pneumonu in February. 1911, had a re
lapse end the disease became chronic.
She went last summer, as usual, to her
old home in Oxford, Mass , and relum
ed to Glen Echo In feeble health last
autumn. Mucual weakness of the
heart develop 'd and for weeks the con
dition of the venerable nurse had been
HU' h as to cause grave concern among
her friends. Her bright mind was un-
dimmed, almost to the last, and her
ready wit and quick repartee made her
sick room a place of cheer to her at
tendants. With her when the end came
were her nephew, Stephen Barton, of
Boston, and Dr. J. It. Huhbell.
Tho great regret of Misa Barton's
last months was that her enfeebled
condition made it neee-sury for her to
suspend work on her autobiography.
She had brought this work down only
.o the h. ginning of her public career as
a Civil War nurso. A woman whose
whole training fostered habits of pre
cision, she has left behind practically
the entire correspondence of her public
career as well as other data bearing
upon her international hospital work,
and the mem ira which she herself be
gai will be completdby other hands.
The lust year of the great Red Cross
nurse hud hei n s ent in retirement
She maintnined hi r winter home at
Glen Echr, but panned a part of each
summer at her birth place in Massachu
setts. She retired from the presidency
of the American Red Cross in 19(14 and
since that time h d had no nlliliati n
with the organization of which she pre
vioUHly hud been tho head since its es
tablishment, largely through hr eff
orts s:imewhat moi e than thirty yeara
ago
Miss Burton will be buried where she
was born. On the hI e of the little
cemetery in Oxford, with father and
mother, brothers and sisters, she will
ba laid to her lorg rest by the spot
where her cradle was rocked.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Gets A Drubbing From Ohio
Congressman.
Washington, April IS, The adminis
tration of Secretary Wilson, of the De
partment of Agriculture, was severely
criticised in the House of Representa
tive in a speech by Representative
Bathrick. Democrat, of Ohio, Mr. Bath
rick asserted that Mr. Wilson's man
agement of the Department "has been
a scandal snd disgrace. " Mr. Bath
rick's attacks included the charge that
Mr. Wilson had been tied to the "food
dopers."
Hs also said that the secretary had
aided and abetted land boomers in the
xploitation of the Florida Everglades
"Like the best of Sinbad," said Mr.
Bathrick, "this old roan sits astride the
shoulders of the people's rights, weigh
ing down justice, obstructing the oper
ation ef laws intended to protect the
people, and in his course of manage
ment of the expenditure of over $16,
000,000 annually, of the people's money,
he shifts from one decision to another
at the beck and call of big interests of
this country.
Mr. Bat hrick defended C G. Elliot'
and A. D. Morehouse, whom Secretary
Wilson recently dismissed from the ser
vice. The men were involved in the
Everglades controversy and were re
cently indicted for technical violations
of law. Mr. Bathrick said this prose
cution was "contemptible."
The debate in the House last night was
apropos of the poitotfice appropriation
hi 1. Representative Witherspoon, of
Mississippi, followed Mr. Bathrick. Mr.
WUherspoon's speech was in favor of a
parcels post, but he opposed the p an

Prices Up Account Flood Condi
tions, Spot Situation Stead ly
Widening Speculation.
New York, April 13. CottoD pric s
have jumped under the impelling force
of floods at the South, ra'ny weather,
delayed field work, a strong spot situa
tion and a big and steadily tv'dening
speculation. Recently the advance hss
been very marked, but the l ull fevei
seems to be spreading. The id ... right
ly or wrongly, of many, is t! at the
next crop is going to be a couple of mi1
lion bales smaller than the last ei.e. The
advocated of higher prices figure that
the last crop has been practically elim
inited from consideration. They figure
up a domestic consumption of D.otlO.OtlO
b .les and exports of 10.500,000, both
totals unprecedented in size. 1 i.h ac
counts for 16,000,000 bales out of a crop
of 16,205.000 bales. Meantime, co ton
goods are in good demand at ris ing
prices. The Lancashire outlook for
trade has been improved by the practi
cal ending of the English coal strike.
Liverpool has sent large buying ordeis
to New York during the past wek and
this lact has at tirms contributed no
little to the price in a Ivance. The ex
ports have continued liberal. Field
work in many parts of the South is still
far behind. There is some shaking of
heads over the recent sharp advance.
Some think that it has been overdom
and that a market reaction may comi
at almost any time, through a sudden
and big liquidating movement, Though
much alarm has been felt becaus of ihr
Mississippi river flood, it is cont :nded
that there is not likely to be any sen
ous shortage to the cotton crop refill
ing theiefrom. From parts of the Soutb,
too, favorable ri ports are being re
ceived, particularly from Texas. It is
belived that the recent advance in prices
will not tend to any reduction in the
acreage
The elimination of a large portion of
the short interest has weakened theo
retically at least the technical and the
speculative position. It is thought that
through the spead of speculation to out
side public traders a grjat d -al of col
ton will be lodgad in weaker bunds so
that as time goes on it will be probably
that the fluctuations will be sharp and
sudden. The London liquidation caused
a sharp break, but on Kruliy ci.me an
other upturn coinci lent with a rise in
Liverpool where a better Bpot demand
was reported and heavy rains in parts
of the South.
