CUMBERLAND, Md., August 20.— Many residents of Cumberland are se- riously discussing a project looking ltu separating Cumberland and con- tiguous territory within a two-mile radiu from Allegany county and making it a separate county or gov- ernment as is Baltimore in conneo- tion with Baltimore county. The new county, which would be known as Cumberland, would be similar in gov- ernment to Baltimore city. It would embrace election districts Nos. 4, 5, 6, 14, 22 and 23. Legislative sanction would be necessary, and those behind the project jntend to- bring it to the attention of the city: council and the chamber of commerce for indorse- ment or rejection. re supporters of such a meas: declare that it would save the re“axl’l'Y dents of Cumberland over $1 on each $100 taxable property.

AUGUST_ 21, WIDELY KNOWN BRITISH APPLE BUYER DROWNED Body of Sam Haines Interred in Cemetery at Winchester—Death Declared Accidental. Speclal Dispatch to The St WINCHESTER, Va., August 20.— The body of Sam Haines, widely known British apple buyer and bro- ker, who was drowned last Sunday in the Shenandoah river, was interred in Mount Hebron cemetery here, follow. ing funeral services at Christ P. E. Church, the rector, the Rev. Robert B. Nelson, officiating. Whetter his body will be removed later to his old home near Manchester, England, where his | anceswral estate s situated, depends| upon the wishes of relatives there. Members of the Elks' and Eagles’ lodges attended the services, along with hundreds of other peopie from Winchester and surrounding country, including many of the poor, whom he had befriended at Christmas time. A coroner's jury has rendered a ver- dict, to the effect that Mr. Haines met death by accldental drowning. It is thought he was stricken with heart disease while in the water. Mr. Haines had been buying apples in the Winchester market for the last twelve or fourteen years. He formerly was in Lockport, N. Y., and New York city, and was widely known among the trade. He was about fifty-one years old, unmarried and leaves elght brothers in Eng- land and a_married sister at Van- couver, B. C.

LYNCHBURG, Va., August 20.—That the War Department desires to estab- lish here a training center for dis- abled veterans of the world war, as was indicated some time ago in this correspondence, s evidenced further by the fact that local contractors have been asked to bid on the erection of bulldings for a greenhouse, a work- shop, a school building, an incubator cellar and to make alterations in a dormitory which may be leased for the purpose. The property, which has dormitory capacity for about 400 persons, was inspected several months ago by a board representing the War Depart- ment. It is thought the work contem- plated will not be regarded as pro- hibitive in price by the board in charge. —_——— COAL TRAFFIC DROPS. Roads Through Maryland Report Lowest Ebb in Years. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 20.—Coal- carrying roads serving this and ad- jacent territory report traffic at the lowest ebb in years for this season. The Western Maryland Railway Com- pany’s coal revenues for the first week of this month fell off 37 per cent from what they were for the same period last year, and the Balti- more and Ohio has had a heavy de- crease, although figures for this month’ are not yet available. The export movement from this port for the last week was only 14,316 tons of cargo and 1,675 of bunker coal, and this slump is bound to show in the August reports of earnings of coal-carrying roads. —_— CAMP FUNSTON AUCTION.

COTTON MARKET REVIEW. NEW YORK, August 20.—The cot- ton market was very quiet this morn- ing, with trading attributed chiefly to further evening up of accounts for over the week end and in preparation for private crop reports expected toward the end of next week. The price of December contracts fluctu- ated between 13.41 and 13.52, closing at 13.47, compared with 13.43 at the close of the previous day. The gen- eral market closed steady, net seven points higher to eleven points lower, with near months relatively steady. Sales of print cloths in the Fal River district for the week were esti- mated at 120,000 ‘pieces, and the cur- tailment of production 110,000. The | moderate increase in mili produc-l tion there was said to result from increase in running time rather than the re-employment of idle machinery. At the close of business yesterday 130,000 bales of cotton were report- ed on shipboard awaiting clearance, compared with only 30,000 at the same time last year. NEW ORLEANS, La., August 20.— Week end reviews of trade in gen- eral were considered favorable in the cotton market today, and around the opening prices were put 5 to 7 points higher in consequence. Last prices were at net gains of 3 to 4 points, with October at 12.65. At the lowest October traded at 12.61. Weather conditions over the belt offered little that was new and stim- ulated little business either way. The continuance of the drought in Texas was considered highly unfa- vorable, but offsetting this to some extent were the prospects of more moderate temperatures in the west- ern belt. 1921—PART 1.° DENIAND FOR STEE TRIFLE MORE BRIS Business Nevertheless Con- tinues Irregular—Pig _Iron Active. NEW YORK, August 20.—The de- mand for steel is a trifie more active, but business continues irregular and buyers are doing little more than pro- Yidg for their immediate needs. Prices’ hold about steady, although producers are very anxious to secure whatever orders are in the market, and, it is thought, would be willing to shade values on lots of more than the usual small proportions. The facts tnat sales are not falling off further dur- ing the summer season is considered promising, however, and the grade feels hopeful of improvement in“gen- eral conditions in the fall. Pig iron is more active and prices are firmer. Buyers have shown more interest than for many months, and the increased activity has stimulated confidence and led producers to ad- vance their prices. Copper Continues Quiet. Copper_has been quiet during the week. Prices have held steady in absence of selling pressure.

The decline in the London market, which carried futures to the lowest levels since last March, have been attributed largely to specu- lative liquidation, however, while the rally in the mark was among the more favorable features. Small lots of electrolytic are still said to be available around 12 cents for spot and prompt delivery, with producers quoting 12% to 12% for September and October. New Low Basis for Tin. Tin declined to a new low basis, due to increasing supplies and weakness in London, but later rallied partially. Lead was steady with demand satis- factory and producers well sold up for the month. Zinc was inactive and unchanged. Sellers refused to shade prices fur- ther, claiming that current quotations | juy 25 show no profit. Consumers have been mostly well supplied, and, therefore, see no reason to raise their limits. Antimony was dull; owing to the possibility of tariff changes, less stock is being carried in bond.
