RALLIES FOLLOW
'OPENING DECLINE
Cotton Marktt Affoctod By Roports of
Increasing Labor Trouoioo in
England.
NEW YORK, May It. An oponlnc
decline waa followed by rallies In the
cotton market but late reports of In
creftslns aerlous labor troubles In Engr
land caused weakness. July sold off
from 118.08 to 112.77 or 26 points net
lower and the market closed weak at a
net decline of 17 to 27 points.
The opening- was barely steady at a
decline of 4 to 14 points owing to a
continuation of yesterday's -selling-movement.
The pressure was much
less active, however, suggesting- that
rattered long; accounts had been pret
ty well liquidated on the decline of
the previous day and smaller hedge
selling- from the south. This encour
aged some local buying on reports of
a broadening demand for cotton goods
In the domestic market and more fav
orabla news from the east. Opening
Josses were recovered with active
months selling about 3 to 8 points net
higher at 112.60 for May and $13.65 for
October. Trading then became very
quiet and fluctuations were narrow
until late in the afternoon when re
ports reached here that Lancashire
mill operatives had refused the reduc
Hon of 30 per cent In wages and that
Tirltlsh transport workers would re
fuse to handle Imports of coal. This
news led to liquidation by recent buy
ers and local or Wall street selling
which sent May off to $12.40 and Oc
tober to 113.33. Last prices were ap
proximately tfce lowest of the day. Ac
cording to foreign trade advices re
celved by a prominent local firm this
morning, the business in India Is more
active and there are prospects for a
revival of trade with China. These
advices also state that -American cot
ton can be laid down at a lower price
In Japan than the better grades of
Kast Indian and that Japan Is likely
to be a steady buyer In American mar
kets. More seasonable temperatures
were reported in the south but there
were further, rains in the east where
dry weather is needed.
YALE'S RIFLE TEAM
HAS FINE SEASON
The yale rifle team has Just con-
eluded a most remarkable season,
winning 11 of the ' 12 matches shot.
The one defeat was administered by
(Georgetown and was by a margin of
two points. And as Georgetown scored
499 out of the possible 600 one can
readily see that Yale's Job In winning
this match meant a perfect score.
This is the first rifle team in the
' history of Yale so that the showing Is
. considered quite wonderful. After
the team was gathered together an
effort was made to arrange matches
with every collegiate rifle team. Yale
liarred no one. Next year the program
will be more extensive. It is hoped
to shoot at least one match with every
collegiate rifle team In the United
States, Canada and Great Britain. j
Yale did not shoot a poor match
all season. They used the Winchester;
Bolt action rifles and precision am
munition and this combination proved
superior to combinations of all others,
except one. The biggest trlumpth on
the Yale schedule was the win over
Oxford. Oxford has been shooting the
small bore rifle for many years but
the scores Indicate that the English
collegians are not In the same class
as the Americans. In the last ten
, matches the -Yale team average .9822.
This Is a better average than Norwich
made In winning the National Rifle
Association championship for college
teams last year.
The high five shooters on the Yale
' team in the last ten matches aver
aged better than .99, as follows:
Van Cllse, .9928; Jleffleiqger, .9922;
Iteddlck, 9916; Bennett, .99; Williams,
.9873. It will take fine shooting' on
the part of any team to beat such
cores.
Yale will lose only three of the 12
members of this year'a team by grad
uation. Yale claims the riflo cham
pionship of the college this year and
( hopes to prove that it is entitled to
It next year In the league competition.
Wo doubt If any college has a better
. claim the championship this year
than the eons of Old Elk
William It. Biggs will manage the
team again next year. lie halls from
New York. Charles S. Parker, of
Meridian, Conn, will assist him. The
captain for 1923 Is J. W, Cise, Jr., of
, Chicago, X1L
Here are the scores of Yale's re-
, markable first year rifle team and al
so the scores of their opponents:
Yale 982 Columbia . 955
Yale' 974 Cornell 890
Yale 982 parthmouth . 048

duced by Jemlgan as evidence to fix
the responsibility on Wang.
Jemlgan admitted that the 'dollars',
and other mateVlals exhibited by the
rovernment .had been found at his
home, but claimed that they were de
livered to him the night before the
raid and arrest by Ed Wang, a gov
ernment witness, who accompanied
Sheriff Sutton to Jernlgan's home
when the arrest was made.
The four witnesses who were arrest
ed on charges of perjury testified that
they were sitting on the porch at Jer
nigan's home the night before he was
arrested after dark and saw Wang
pass ar package containing- the molds,
"dollars" and metal to Jernlgan. They
described the package as being about
the size of a man's two fists.
Called by the state in rebuttal of
Jernlgan's testimony, and 'of the testl
mony of his witnesses, Wang depied
mat he was at the Jernlgan home on
the night before the arrest and assert
ed that he had not been there for' two
weeks or more. The government de
clined to carry Wang's testimony fur
ther and the defense swore him as its
own witness. He insisted, however,
that his previous statements as to
his whereabouts on the night preced
ing the arrest were correct.
