COTTON MARKET .
WEAK AND ACTIVE
Under Heavy and General Liquidation
Prices -Broke $1.75 a Bale From
Closing Figures of Previous Day.
By -Associated Tre'ss. '1
--fecp3k,Tork, May 1. The cotton mar
ket was sensationally active and weak
tf day under heavy general liquidation
with prices breaking over .J1.75 a bale
from the closing flgrures of yesterday
and approximately $3.75 per bale from
the high records of early last week.
There seemed to be no particular
feature to account for the decline, for
some of the biggest cotton houses in
the trade were rerorted to be very '
heavy pe.lers both here and in 'Liver-1
pool and the general" liquidating move-j
ment was said to reflect a conviction
tnat tne recent advance had discount
el all bullish old crop features and
also a late start with planting In the
south.

The Texas Deviated . From Proper
Channel and Was Sent to the Bot

By Asaocleted Press.
Constanfttiople, May 1. A telegram
from Smyrna today says the steamer
Texas, which went down In the Gulf
of Smyrna with 140 persons Monday
night, was sunk by a shell fired from
tht military fort and not by a mine,
as at first reported.
The dispatch says two blank shots
were first fired by the Turkish for
tification, warning the vessel that she
had deviated from the proper channel
When no notice was taken a' shell sent
the ship to the bottom.
The new version is regarded as quite
probable, for the authorities had re
peatedly warned shipping companies
that their vessels would Tlsk becoming
targets for the fort If they strayed
from the proper channel.

Boston," May 1. The refusal of the
Republican delegates at large to accept
to Roosevelt's decision today that they
should vote for Taft at the Chicago
convention, although elected as Roose
velt delegates, further complicated the
situation arising from the state pri
maries yesterday. The situation, it is
acknowledged by party leaders on both
sides, is without a parallel in the po
litical history of the commonwealth.
Although the Republicans of the state
selected Taft as their candidate for
renomination by a majority of 3,605
over Roosevelt, on the presidential
preference ballot, at the same time
they elected, by a decisive vote of the
entire state the eight delegates at large
pledged to Roosevelt. Roosevelt got
ten more delegate in the district elec

Taft and Roosevelt each have eighteen

was a possibility of closing the gap if

The prospects, however, are that the
Torras break will be permanenb-and
will be recorded as-one of the most
disastrous crevasses in flood history of
the lower Mississippi.
The break at Torras occurred at 5:30
this afternoon and within two hours
three hundred feet of the eighteen-foot
embankment had been carried away.
A force of workmen and material will
Immediately be ordered to the scene
and an effort is being made to check
the crevasse ' by -cribbing- - the ends.
Unless the Terras ere vasee is closed,

The flood waters tonight are from
half a foot to two feet above the previ
