For Advance
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. !9.— T* —
i Favorable Liverpool cables were re
I sponsible for an opening gain of 11
; to 2 points In the cotton market. |
The improvement brought out fur
I ther March liquidation as well as
I selling in an effort to even com
! mitmr-nts for the holiday Friday.
May traded down from 13.50 to
| 19 45 and July from 19.53 to 19.48.
; or 5 points under the highs and 3
points under yesterday’s close. At
! the end of the first hour the mar
| ket was steady and 2 points above
the lows.
The market ruled quiet and bare
j ly steady with the approaching hol
i iday holding support in check while
i selling was being restrained by
j promise of more bad weather in the
l belt. At one time March sold off
I to 19.27. or 7 points under the early
i highs but toward noon the mark?'
| was quiet and steady and about 3
I points under the previous close.

ton opened steady at an advance of I
II to 2 points in resronse to steady
Liverpool cables. There was not
I much buying, and prices eased off.
May which had sold up to 20.03

Prices were within a pc'nt or two
| of yesterdev's closing quotations at
the end of the first half hour.
The market wes very quiet later ,
in the morning, with business con- 1
fined largely to switching from near ,

commission house or local liquida
tion. however, and prices sagged off.
The midday market was about net

leads, the authorities ordered the
body buried in the city cemetery,
despite the request of Williams'
Muncie. Ind. relatives that f% be
ent there. They expect to disinter
It, when, and if, they find evidence
pointing to th* slayer.
Meanwhile, % American Consul
Stephen Aguirre at Laredo expects
to send officers and secret service
men into Mexico to search for W’il
liams' assailant. He telegraphed
Washington for the necessary per
mission.
Coatless and ha ties, and with but
30 cents in his pocket. Williams
walked out of a hotel here Jan. 19.
On his failure to return, friends,
alarmed by knowledge of previous
and unexplained deaths “across the
river.’* set about a private search.
This futile, they called in officers
and eventually the United States
government ordered Its patrol and (
immigration officers along the Rio
Grrrde to join the investigation.
One theory, previously discarded
but somewhat revived in some quar
ters with the discovery of the body,
was that Williams had been kid
naped by ransom-seeking bandits
on the erroneous assumption that
he was a son of A L. Kitserman,
Muncie millionaire in Laredo di
recting his oil properties. The re
porter frequently had been seen
with Kitserman.
Another possibility was that the
newspaperman had been killed by
a motorist who. fearing prosecution,
throw the body into the Rio Grande.
Williams came here about six
weeks before his disappearance and
joined the staff of the Laredo
Times. Previously he had worked
on the Muncie Press for about two
and a half years. His parents live
in Muncie.

Coolidge Not
Decided As To
Future Activity
WASHINGTON. Feb. 19
President Ccolldge has not yet ar
rived at n decision ns to his occu
pation after retirement from office,
although he has been approached
bv several persons with proposals
that he write syndicated articles
for newspaoers.
The president regards that field
as a fine one. but hesitates to bind
himself bv the urgency of regular
production. However, he may write
occasional articles dealing with his
experiences and observations in
public office
The president has told callers
that he is not in a position to make
a positive decision at this time.
This is in conformity with a pre
vious assertion that he does not
feel that hts duties as president
permit him to enter into any ar
rangement with an outside interest
before his retirement.

special panel was rendered neces
sary, since the legal custom is to
qualify 32 tentative jurors and then
permit prosecution and defense to
eliminate ten men each, leaving the
twelve who will sit in judgment.
A snag was struck with the first
venireman examined today. He
was Walter acobson. young farm
er. He was doing nicely under the
questioning until the defense found
that he would refuse to consider the
indictments against the congress
man-elect as merely the vehicle for
bringing him into court. Jacobson
insisted he would have to consider
the indictment Itself as evidence.
The next three passed tentatively
were A. R. Booth, farmer; W. e.
Rowe, bank employe, and Jack
Chiles, Jr., insurance man.
None of them admitted intimate
knowledge of the case which was
brought to this county on a change
of venue.
Both McCloskey’s father and son.
James, the latter a student at an
Austin university, were spectators
today.
The interrogation of veniremen
was left to locartalent on the ex
tensive staffs of prosecution and de
fense. That for the state was in the
hands of Henry H. Brooks, district
attorney for Travis county. Brooks
is only 23 years old. less than two
vears out of college, and engaging
in his first big case.
The head of the prosecution Is
Lamar Seeligson. district attorney
for Mexar county. He is only 33
years old.
It developed that Congressman
elect McCloskey and Mr. Brooks
had one thing In common—they
both smoke hand-rolled, brown-pa
per cigarettes. While the decorum
and formality of the court ran along
otherwise according to judicial cus
tom and respect for the bench,
•rooking was permitted and the in
terrogation of veniremen ran along
with smoke rings wreathing thp
hca^s of attorneys, defendant and
spectators.

the Crst things he remembered of
Wortsman was an advertisement
saying that Wortsman was a physi

! <The old
Story
The girl whose menstrual periods
ever cause a broken date, simply
hasn't heard about Midol. Menstru
ation is natural. But the pain Is
not!
Midol will end menstrual pains In
five to seven minutes.
This merciful discovery of the
specialists is not a narcotic. It does
nothing to hinder or hasten the
process of menstruation. But It
does end the painful part; If you
anticipate your time the expected
pain will not appear at all. Tiny
ablets. In convenient aluminum
case, fifty cents at any drug store.
