NEW YORK. Autr. I.
A surprisingly bullish report by the
Government was followed by urgent cover
ing and trade-buying of cotton today, and
the market scored a big gain, October going
to 25.30c and January to 24.80c, or 137 to 1SB
points above the low level early and a
net gain of 111 to 129 points. The official
figure on the condition was exactly the
same' as that of the previous month, where
as an Improvement had been generally
expected.
There wan plenty of realizing, however,
which caused quite a setback from the top.
Sentiment was apparently only slightly
less bearish than recently, and many ex
pressions of opinion were heard to the effect
that the crop had made good progress dur
ing the past month, as Indicated by numer
ous private advices from all parts of the
belt. There was no disposition, neverthe
less, to operate acgresslvely on the selling
side, the trade evidently being desirous
of seeing how the producer and the spinner
j tuba th. renort.

told to nppcar for physical examination.
Many seemed to think their claims had
been overruled by tho board and that tho
hope of exemption vas futile.
MAYOR SEEKS, TO SPHED DTtAFT
Mnyor Smith Intends to speed "up tho
city's drnft machinery and has nsked the
State military officials In llnrrlsliurg to
co-opernte. Today several complaints were
Kent to tho Muyor's olllco concerning the
fnllure of tho ndjutiuit Kcncrnrn olllco to
forward nmstcr lists showing the order of
tho drawing nnd other data which enter
Into tho draft. Thus far tho board have
been calling men from uncertified lists
printed In the newspaper. Word enmo
back from Harrlsliurg that tho master lists
have been mailed to each district exemption
board and thnt district quotas will bo sent
out In a day or two. Tho boards have
had no ofllclnl knowledge of the drawings,
becauso of this delay.
A majority of the boards have set Fri
day nB tho day to send notices to the con
scripts, nnd ns the latter have five days of
grace boforo appearing for physical ex
amination. It will he next Wednesday before
an appreciable numbet of men appear for
the tctts.
The exemption claims of married men
are to be handled with great care for the
Mayor Is particularly anxloui thnt no
eligible shall escape nrmy service through
ths. medium of a false nflldavlt. Men who
can prove their claims to exemption be
causa of dependent will have no trouble
obtaining release", but ns each case Is to
be tried separately, tho fraud and faker will
experience trouble.
n.osi: WATCH ON thndurloin
This Is particularly truo of tho tenderloin
characters who have no visible means of
support. Although many of them are mar
ried, It Is certain that few will receive
exemptions. Hoards having Jurlxllctlon of
the wards In which this type of c'onscrlpt
lives have been warned to exercise great
care In tho examination of such enhes nnd
havo been told to consult police nnd court
record"! In all cases where there Is tho
slightest suspicion In regard to the charac
ter of the applicant.
An ofllclal omission that Is causing
trouble Is the delay In Bending physical ex
amination report hlanki. to tho district ex
emption boards. Thus far doctors In the
city districts have been marking down the
data In notebooks. From theso they will
copy the records on tho -blanks when they
arrive.
TRAPS LAID FOR SLACKr.RS
Ttnps am being laid for tho "physical
slacker." Continued reports reach Washing,
ton of plots for temporarily Incapacitating
drafted men. To guatil against this strict
order, have heeii Issued to all examining
physicians. All known tricks havo been ex
plained, nxemptlon boards may hold men
for berUce If they have reason to believe
they ate shamming.
Exemptions will bo heavy In all sections
of Philadelphia where live families ln ordi
nary circumstances, according to Alfred
Hcymann, n member of tho exemption board
of tho Thirty-ninth District, located at
Fourth btreet and Snyder nvenue.
In his own district, Hcymann said, CO
per cent of the men registered are mar
ried, and the great majority of them nre
exempt; 25 per cent nro aliens, nnd they
nro exempt. Hcymann said he Thirty-ninth
district ln order to get Its quota of 2fil will
havo to summon nt least 2000 men for
physical examination. That means, he said,
that It will bo September 1 before the dis
trict gets Its quota. Virtually the same
conditions, he nsscrted, prevail in all dis
tricts In South Philadelphia, nnd In "dis
tricts In other sections of the city whero
reside largo numbers of workng people.
Thero nro 3211 men of the draftl 1st of
tho Thlrty-nluth district.
"Following Instructions from Hnrrls
burg." said Heyman, "we nro completing
our lists before summoning the men for
physical examination. Wo will begin to
summon tho men on Friday, nnd tho first
batch will nppcar for examination five days
later next Wednesday."
In reference to tho exempting of married
men, Heyman rcid that In tho districts
where a large percentage of tho married
men are poor, exemptions will be very
heavy.
"In those districts " ho said, "whero peo
plo nre In very ordinary circumstances,
there Is nothing else to do but exempt tho
married men. .Thero Is Just ono question to
consider: Is the wife dependent upon the
husband for support? If sho Is, the hus
band must bo let off from military service
Major Charles D. Warren made this very
plain in his recent nddress In Philadelphia
before tho exemption hoards of this city.
"Now us to men who married after the
enactment of tho draft law. 1 don't caro
If a man was married last night There Is
only ono question tho exemption board can
consider. Is his wife dependent upon him?
If so, he Is entitled to exemption. Maybe
a few havo married" to escape military
service, but tho great majority. I bellee,
had no such thing In mind
"Now ns to cases whero It Is found that
wives are working ln stores, shops, etc.,
for small w.tges. Does her earnings pro
hibit her from seeking exemption for her
husband? I think not. It Is certainly
nobody's business what she does with her
earning of maybe eight or nino dollars a
week. Sho may be supporting an aged
mother or father with It, Despite her
earnings she may bo dependent upon her
husband for support, and Is entitled to
claim exemption If such la tho case.
"Tho matter of exemption on account
of marriago will be more of a compli
cated problem In wealthier sections of tho
city, whore many wives have private in
comes nnd are not dependent upon their
husbands for support."
MANY EXEMPT IN SEVENTH DISTRICT
In tho Seventh District, which takes In
wards Nine and Ten, there was evidence
today that exemptions will be heavy. There
nre 3040 registered men In tho district. Of
that number, 925 are aliens and exempt!
nbout 1000 nre married men. the majority
of whom havo dependent families,
E. C Atkinson, secretary of the board,
said: "The exemptions will be very great
In our district. It !s safe to say that only
about a third of the men registered are not
exempt. This la a dubious situation, but
the War Department has laid down the
rules and exemption boards must follow
them."
The number of those who nre accepted
and rejected In the Thirty-second conscrip
tion district, Thirty-fourth Ward, Overbrook,
Pa., is running about fifty-fifty today. Tho
mon are reporting (or examination at tho
rate of about five or six an hour. Tho
doctors who are doing tho examining In this
district havo easier going today than they
had yesterday. The number of registrants
for examination will be increased each daj
and eighty will be examined on Friday.
None will be examined Saturday.
Harold M. Lane, twenty-four years old,
of 1342 ll'no street, Philadelphia's first
C. O., as England came to call the con
scientious objectors to military service,
was the first of the fifty men gathered In
the rollroom of tho police station to appear
.when the session began at 10 o'clock this
morning.
His chances of successfully claiming the
exemption are good, no Is not only a

you will bo exempt from carrying arms, but
not from some other form of Governmental
work. Tho President vllt later define the
kinds of work that may be considered non
combatant." Lnno nodded, "do downstairs
nnd bo examined by the doctors," said
Woodruff.
Lane left the room, Ho was one of the
few whites that appeared during the morn
ing. Without grounds for exemption he
would be fnlrly certnln of going to war,
as he was physically one of the fittest men
of tho men examined this morning.
Willingness to go through the draft ma
chinery or anxiety to get an exemption out
of It, whichever the motive was, brought n
big crowd to tho Sixth Division headquar
ters long before tho board members ar
rived. Dy 10 o'clock forty men were stand
Inir In the rollroom beforo tho railing, Fif
teen of them were white, the others negroes.
Yesterday and the day before the man
being examined and the men who wero
waiting nil crowded together at tho rail
during the questioning. Today, howover,
a rope running across the rollroom kept
the crowd fifteen feet back from the railing.
As the names were called tho men stepped
under the rope nnd wnlked up to tho rail-
"MOTHER-IN-LAW DOESN'T COUNT."
Mr. Woodruff made an unofficial ruling on
the status of mothers-in-law as grounds for
dependency exemption claims during the
session today.
He said they wero not good Lewis
Brown, 435 South Tenth street, a negro, was
the appellant who brought about the ruling.
He said he wns married nnd had two chil
dren when Woodruff asked him why he did
not want to go Into the army.
"I got a mother-in-law, too," he added
fervently.
Woodruff nnd Long smiled nnd those
who heard Brown's plea laughed.
"Mothers-in-law don't count," said Wood
ruff tersely "Oo down and be examined
by the doctors "
Chairman Woodruff today received notl
llcatlon from Governor Brumbaugh that In
the future all chairmen of exemption boards
will have tho power to administer the oath
to those filing affidavits of claims to exemp
tion from military duty.
This new power conferred on exemption
board chairmen blights the hopes of scorss
of notary publics, who expected to reap a
harvest administering the oath to exemption
claimants. Tho Governor also notified Mr.
Woodruff that members of exemption
hoards would not be allowed to resign un
less some grave reason was given for so
doing.
16 OF 10 REJECTED
Flfty-tHc men were called today by the
Sixth conscription district board at Twelfth
nnd Pine streets station. Of that number
forty responded nnd were examined In the
