Welton, Chicago Y. M. C. A.; Sidney Hatch, Chicago; M. J. Ryan, Irish-American team, and T. P. Morrissey, of the Yon kers. There were no Americans in rows two or four, but in row three, John F. Hayes, of the Irish-American team; Lewis Lewinina, a Carlisle Indian, and Joseph Forshaw, of the Missouri A. C., were stationed. Hatch, winner of several Marathon events in his own country, including the Chicago and Boston rans, was looked upon at the start as the only American who had any show of fimsh ing first. England had four stros.g runners, but Duncan carried the strongest hopes of the Britishers. Svanbery and Ladovist, Swedish runners, wore the “dangerous” sign. Longboat In Race. Contrary to expectations, Y.ongboat was not named among the favorites for the race, and thers was ~onsiderable betting that Simpson, another Canadizu runner, would beat the Indian. Students of the race figured it out that the winner would do the course in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Thousands of people lined the entire course, the crowds beginning to ase semble early this morning. Around Windsor Palace the people were jammed and there was a tremendous cheer when the start was made. King Edward and other members of the royal family were out early to watch the proceed'izs, the King evine ing unusual interest in the big event. In the pote vault finals, Cook, of Cor nell, and Gilbert, the Yale boy, won the event, with the bar placed at twelve feet. This breaks the former Olympic record of eleven feet six inches. The weather was fair but unusually warm. The course was in fine condition. Following the disqualification of J. C. Carpenter, the Cornell University run ner, for alleged fouling of Halswell, in the final o the #0-meter run yesterday, the Americans decided today not to compete in the re-running of this race tomorrow. As J. B. Taylor, the colored member of the Irish-American team, and W. C. Robbins, of Cambridge, Mass., are the only other men besides Halswell in the final, the action of the Yankees means that Halswell will have the empty honor of a walk-over. The action of the American athletes shows how bitterly they resent tne charges of fouling. The muss is the (Continued on Second Page.)

Taft Rises Behind Time For Meal With Brother NEW YORK, July 2 —William H. Taft, Republican candidate for Presi dent, was late geting up at the Man hattan Hotel today. Although dus at the Hotel Plaza for breakfast with his brother, Henry W. Taft, the New York lawyer, and other guests at o'ciock, it was after 9 when he appeared. His brother was waiting for him, and the two climbed into a taxicab. «I am busy correcting the proofs of my speech of acceptance,” Mr. Taft suid to a reporter. ‘1 hope to have it finished, however, before I leave New York.” When pressed for details regardic_ his speech ard the conference at the F esi dent's summer home, Mr. Taft deciined to give them.

“It would be manifestly improper for me to disclose any part ¢f my speech ir advance of its delivery, and as for my talk with the President, it would be out of the question for me to discuss that.” From the fact that Mr. Taft gave out an advance copy of his speech in its final form to the press associations within half an hour of his arrival in this city, it was inferred that the changes made as a result of his talk with the President and Secretary Roof could not have been very extensive. There was a report that a great pert af Mr. Taft's speech would be devoted to the naval program, and that in his u*terances on this subject he would hew close to the lines laid down by President Roosevelt in his speech before the War College at Newport Wednes day. x think I can answer your question as to whether a considerable portion of my speech will deal with the navy in the negative,” said Mr. Taft when ques tioned on the subject. “As to whether will follow the utterances made by President Roosevelt, I must leave that until a comparison can be made bhe tween the President's speech and my own.” “Perhaps I shouldn't give mysel away in this manner,” Xr.

She does Tot cwe me anything although at one tire ‘she borrowed a small sum which was ret paid back as quickly as it might have been. When she did not return it on the day promised I wrote her, ask ing for it, and she brought it to me. ““She was a most pleasing woman, and was equally kind to those who had money and those who di¢ not. It is not true that she devoted herself to those whom she thought had money. She was just as attentive to those whom she was sure had absolutely nothing.” Believes Her Sane. “Do you think she is insane—did she do or say anything that would lead you to suspect her <anity?’ Miss Homans was asked. There was no hesitation in the answer. “I do not believe Miss Caspari is in sane. »o far as I could observe, there was nothing to warrant such a con clusion. She was amiable and attrac tive, liked by everyone, talked at table with all, and never gave any indication that she was anything other than a per fectly normal woman.” “Did she talk about business or about her life?” “I knew she was engaged in the busi ness of selling books,” said Miss Ho mans, “lI have seen many handsome books which she had, but havi no de sire to purchase any, never paid partic ular attention to them. She never talked of her past life, and nobody ever looked upon her as thing other than an A ape woman. “I suppose my request for the return of the loan was the letter which was found in the trunk by the police, and whicl: was responsible for the story that I was one of Miss Caspari's ‘victims,’ I have no reason to regret having Plan Her Defense.

Changes Rezarded as Inevitable. These ir'nc-lant changes. in three of the principal bureaus of the District government are now under considera tion by the District Commissioners. They have been proposed in the ingar est of petter administration. While it is possible that the Commissioners may not order these transfers at this time, such changes or others of corresponding nature are regarded by officials of very Ligh authority as inevitable. The only statement made from the of fices of the Commissioners came from Mr. West. “These transfers,” said he, “have been considered, and are now be ing considered. But whether they are to occur immediately, in the near fu ture, in the distant future, or nog at all, I am not prepared to say.” Collector's Office Behind Times. Lack eof progress in the Collector's Office is accepted as the occasion for the prcposal that these changes be made. ir. Davis’ metnods and results are alike mucn criticised. It is known that the heads of those bureaus whose work is retated to that of the Collector's Cifice have made it unmistakably plain to their superiors that these other di visiens cannot reach their greatest ef ficiency if the Collector's Office 1s to Told to metheds which were oid Sfteen OF TWenly years ago.

It is further stated that while Mr. Davis has collected about per cent of all the personal tax bills submitted to him there is on hand an accumulation of unpaid bills aggregating not less than $150,000. It is the judgment of other afficials of the District no adequate ef Zort has been made to cut down that total. The hope of the Commissioners was plainly that Mr. Davis would accept" the transfer willingly. It involves a re duction of his salary from $4.00 to £.000, and his withdrawal from an office where he has served for twenty-three ycars. But the new post proposed to him re quires less initiative, puts a premium upon his mature judgment, and brings into daily use that particular informa tion as to real estate values which Mr. Davis has been accumulating th all the years of his employment in t office of Collector. His advanced his fine character, and a most rsonality have been factors Fg with we the authorities so far from transfering Mr. Davis whether he likes it or not. When asked today if he had heard of the action proposed, Mr. Davis said: “Yes, I have heard of it. All of my friends with whom have advised have counseled me not to accept the transfer voluntarily. If I am to be taken from this office it will be without my’ con currence. I have heard of no dissatis faction with the manner in which it has been run on the part of outsidera, and the only complaint I have heard accredited to men inside the office has come tg me through third persons.” Objecied To Change. It is understood a considerable hitch arose when the interchanges were first suggested, on the ground that they made a sort of Botany Bay out of the Board of Assessors. The answer was that Mr. McKenzie had already been a member of the Personal Tax Board, and that while the direction of the collector's office might be a little ‘00 much for Mr. Davis he was specially qualified to serve as an assessor, Mr. Rogers is the only official who would obtain any increase of pay out of the *ransfers.

Judge Aukam Scathingly Denounces Proprietors of Unclean Places. POLICE TAKE HAND IN ENFORCING LAW

Warn Individual Property Owners of Untidy Back Yards.

In a scathing denunciation of hotel men who violate the health regulations in the conducting of their restaurants and lunch rooms, Judge Aukam this morning reluctantly adopted the sug gestion of Assistant District Attorney Pugh and imposed the small fine of in the case of Wales G. Watson, former proprietor of the Regent Hotel dining rooms.

Mr. Watson pleaded guilty to a charge of having an unclean place of business and no witnesses were heard. It was then suggested by the District Attor ney that Watson be fined cnly $5, in view of extenuating circumstances. Mr. Watson told the court, after pleading guilty to the charge made by Inspectors Norris and Stoy, that he had sold out his interest in the business and that his successor, at his suggestion, has made a thorough renovation of the place and further complied with the health regulations. Pleads Extenuating Circumstances. Judge Aukam in imposing sentence said: “There are certain extepuating cir cumstances in this case and I will be patisfied to take the suggestion of the District Attorney. However, as the violation is, in my mind, a much more serious one where a hctel is concerned than in the case of a lunch room, I must not be looked te for leniency in future cases.

“This crusade against unclean eating places is a just and important one, and while I am in my present capacity I shall do everything in my power to punish offenders against the health reg ulations.” F

Washington Is Fined $3.00.

Another iunch room proprietor to be found guilty was James Washington, colered, who keeps an eating house at 2006 L street northwest. Inspector Gal legher swore to the information and upon his testimony Washington was fined $3, provided he immediately ren ovate his lunch room. Washington for feited $10 last week on a charge that his place in I street was being conduct ed in violation of the regulations. EE

William H. Plumber, manager of the Maryland Lunchroom, at 108 Pennsyl vania avenue northwest, was found “guilty as charged in the information,” the specific charge being that the eat ing piace was not conducted properly in regard to cieanliness of the kitchen and apparatus used- therein.

y of i The case had been continued from yesterday and Judge Aukam was loath to give a final decision at this time. He declined to pass on a technical ques tion raised by the defense. The question raised by Attorney Peters for the de fendant was whether it is legal to hold Plumber, the manager, as the respons ible “occupant” of the lunchroom, or whether information should have been made out with John J. Noonan, pro prietor of the cafe, as the defendant.

RUSSIA IS GUARDING AMERICA FROM WAR

Czar's Empire Gathering Forc to Fight

i ite torv the ™m 3 14 ra its history, was the optimist ieclara~ tion made last night b Reg ntative es Mikado. i JAPAN AWAKENS CHINA FOR ALLY

Proposed Double Tracking of Si berian Railway Appears Hostile in Tokyo. at he

“If the report is true that Russia Is about closing a contract for $25,000,000 worth of steel rails, with which to dou ble track the trans-Siberian railroad, it is the best possible guarantee of peace between the United States and Japan.” re

e—

al Thus, somewhat enigmatically, a well known public man expressed himself today. Pressed for explanation, he con tinued:

“Army and navy. people almost univer sally, and diplomats only less generally, believe that Russia and Japan will be at each other's throats again inside a few years. Russia is humiliated by the re suit of the late war, and has been sub stantially injured as well as sentiment ally. She must have revenge.

I

mA EE i He i on SE

JF “Each country wants a reasonable breathing space—Japan, until she shall have been able to strengthen her hold in China, and to organize a public opin ion and a military force in that empire, which, in case of a great conflict, may be added te the power of Japan in Op posing Russia. Russia wants delay until she can finish her great railway and fortify her finances. 1

Japan Has Greater Task. Te FTIR “Doubtless the greater of the two national tasks is that of Japan: to mod ernize China, and to leaven it with the leaven of something like patriotism; te give it a real national feeling; to unify it, and center in the imperial govern ment enough authority to enable it te raise armies, and money to support them: China is great and rich, but un organized and purposeless. Organized and animated by such a patriotic spirit as animates Japan, it could defy the world. Japan wants to give it this shape and effectiveness; to direct it in its new modernism; to use it to fight off the advances of Russia. rm —_—

l

“Russia knows that delay is danger ous, because Japan will, if left alone, at length accomplish just this end. There fore, it is Russia's interest to bring the issue before a modernized and na tionalized China shall be ready to Join hands with Japan. a

if FRE HE I a “The announcement that Russia is Cady to proceed with the doubletrack ing of her Siberian railroad will be read nowhere with so much concern as at Tekyvo. Tokyo will recognize it as direct menace. Russia is the inevitable enem of Japan. America might be the acci dental and casual enemy. But with Russia in menacing attitude, you may be sure Japan would never take the chance of conflict with the United States. The iron-shod paw of the bear would be over Manchuria and down to the very Straits of Japan before an American and a Japanese fleet could have begun their real maneuvers. Ja pan knows this all too well, and there fore will not unnecessarily press differ ences with the United States.

|B

f EE Russia Must Fight Soon. “Russia, as matters are developing, needs to have her final and decisive conflict with Japan soon. Russia will never be able to meet the joint power of Japan and China. She must fight be fore China shall have become an effec tive ally of Japan. “So we hear constantly of the prog ress of plans for double-tracking the Manchurian railroad. It will be done just 3s soon as Russia can spend the money on it; whether now, or later. The dey Russia makes plain that she has bowen able to finance that project, tr at day will Japan begin, quietly, se cretively, but very earnestly, to prepare for the inevitable conflict, She will have no time or energies to devote 10 unimportant differences with the United States or Germany, or any other power. Her business will-be first {o get ready to meet Russia, second to retain the alliance with Britain, and thiri ta keep the best possible relations with every other important military and financial country. “That ia =v I say that if Russia is ready to double-track the great ralil road across Eurasia, there is no longer any occasion to worry about war be twen the United States and Japan.” Blacksmith, in Governor's Race, May Defeat Executive of Texas 1

Too Poor to Tour State, He Conducts Campaign From Village Shop—Democrats Expect to Crush Campbell at Primaries Tomorrow. AUSTIN, Tex., July 24—R. R. Wil Imms, a “village blacksmith,” who was not known outside of his own little community of Cumby until announced as a candidate for governor of Texas, expects to be nominated to that office by the Democrats at the primaries which are to be held tomorrow,

Mr. Whiiiams' opponent is Gov. T. M. Campbell, who is now serving his first term as chief executive, and, accord ing to long established precedent, should be favored win a second term without opposition. His administration has beea verv unpopuiar, however, on account of the many radical laws which were passed by the last Legislature, and other measures of a like nature which Governor Campbell is advocating, and ‘which he will seek to have made into laws if he is re-elected. Mr. Williams has waged one of the most remarkable campaigns ever known in the political history of Texas. He has not been outside of the little vii lage of Cumby, where he makes his nome, since he entered the race for governor. He says that he is too poor to travel over the State. Friends Manage Campaign. A number of his fellow-townsmen have conducted his campaign for him. ‘They have helped him to answer his voluminous correspondence, and to make known his views on public ques tions. Governor Campbell and a scora or more of his chief supporters have been canvassing the State for several weeks, From all parts of the State come re liable reports of Mr. Williams! political strength.

It is estimated that about 325 0600 mocratic votes will be cast in the primaries tomorrow. Unpopular With Labor. The platform upon which Mr. Wil llams is running is popular with all classes of people except the union labor element, which is lined up solidly, al most, for Governor Campbell. Mr. Wii liams says in one of his published ad dresses to the people that he favors corporation interests being treated fair ly, ané that every possible encourage ment shculd be given for the investment of capitai in the industrial development of the Siate. He advocates the repeal of certain obnoxious tax laws which are alleged to be unjustly oppressive upon the farmers and land owners. It is in the personality of Mr. Wil. liams that the most interest is centered, He is one of the gain people” in eve sense of the word. In his little home town of Cumby he has long been looked upon as a poliical sage. He had his own views on matters relating to the affairs of State government, and his blacksmith shop has long been the gathering place of men of the com munity who liked to indulge in political discussions with him. While his friends have been waging his cam paing on his behalf for the governor ship, this remarkable candidate has been spending the days working at his forge in his blacksmith shop.

ELINOR GLYN ACTS AND STAGE SIZZLES Friends of Authoress See Her as Heroine in Play of “Three Weeks.”

LONDON, July 24. —Detalls of yester day's subcellar production of the dra matized version of “Three Weeks" with the authoress, Elinor Glyn, in the role of the queen, are leaking out today, and the indications are that the pro duction which James K. Hackett will give in America will be about the most sizzling dramatic effort since the days of *“Sapho,” “Zaza,” and “The Tur tle.” Mrs. Glyn's effort yesterday at the Adelphi Theater was for the exclusiw edification cf her own circle of friends. Even the friends, however, have not been able today to restrain their desires to tell how awful the production was. According to these members of the in ner circle of the authoress’ acquaint anceship, the stage has not been robbed during the years the hectic-haired writ er has restrained her histrionic incli nations, All the gush and sentiment, the drib bling love-making, and the incessant billing and cooing of the novel have been intensified and enlarged upon, so as to last through four loosely con structed acts. The famous tiger skin rug furnishes the piece de resistance of the stage seiting. and most of the action of the play takes place within the boundaries of the rug, Unintenticnally Mrs. Glyn furrished considerable comedy with her production. Mrs. Glyn believes the production will create a sensation in America. It prob ably will.

MAS. LESLIE GARTER 10 PRODUCE PLAY Actress Earned Money by Playing One-Night Stands. Refused $2,000 a Week. NEW YORK, July 24.—Mrs. Leslie Car ter-Pavne, who said she did not have a cent in the world recently while testi fying in supplementary proceedings, fol lowing a petition in bankruptcy, has ar rived at the Hotel Plaza, accompanied by a maid, a chauffeur, and a footman. With the actress they were conveyed from Mrs. Carter's country seat at Tar rytown in her mctor car. Mrs. Carter resuiaed her testimony today in the supplementary pruceedings. She came to town a day earlier in order that she might discuss her new play, wliich she promises to produce at a Broadway theater under her own man agement. The nature and authorship of the work Mrs. Carter refuses to reveal, but she hints that the production will be a lavish ene, and that the money Zor the venture was earned by a grueling tour of one-nights stands during the winter. Her allegiance to the legitimara art is revealed through an admission tha: she declined an ¢ffer of $2,000 a week for forty weeks in vaudeville, Discreet Array of Luggage. Mrs. Carter drove up to the hotel with a discreet array of luggage, and was essigned to a suite. Then she and Louis F. Payne, her young husband, went into the summer garden for tea, and later were joined by one of the younger law yers representing her in the bankruptcy tangle. When a card was sent to Mrs. Carter the lawxer, who revealed his identity no further than to say he was her “representative,” appeared. “Mrs. Carter,” he said, “4s spending her own money. Everything she has earned within the iast year belongs to her. She was a bankrupt a year ago, and at that time she surrendered every possession she had in tha world. She even gave up her lingerie, which was unnecessary. She felt her position so sensitively that she sald she wanted to start life anew, ‘with not more than a tin cup.” Then she resoslurely set to work to retrieve her lost fortunes. Ste made a terrible tour througn the coun try, endured hardships, and returned with enough money to produce a play, which will be seen on Broadway durng the winter. Took Advantage of Carelessness. “She has already been adjudged a bankrupt, and within two weeks she will be discharged. She is the victim of debts, many of which are unjust. She has a livery bill for $5,000 which should be one-tenth of that sum. All the tr=desmen took advantage of her care lessnes in busines matters. For sev enteen years her blills were paid at David Belasco’s office, and she had dif ficulty in assuming the burden of these details. “Mrs. Carter is not an extravagant woman. She cares only for automobiles. They constitute her chief divarsion. In regard to gowns she is very modest and goes in only for simple linens.” Pressed for details concerning the play whn.ch is to be produced under Mrs. Carter's own direction the lawyer re turned to the tea table. After a walle he reappeared and said: “Not a word can be said concerning Mrs. Carter's trip to town. She does not want it. She is very nervous. She nas had enough to try her patience. She wants no advertising and is entitled to fmmunity. She is quite unnervad over the news from Chicago. You know Leslie Carter has been adjudged in sane.” Mrs, Carter dined out last night.

AVENGES HIS WIFE FROM INVALID'S BED 3 Il She Breaks Away From Man and Runs Into Hus band’s Room. -_§$§ _s’__igss’'»n™nypnTe

CHICAGO, July 24.—Fate last evening chanced to place Lucas Sletten within the range of the supposedly helpless invalid whose home he had broken up, and the invalid—lying in bed in a plas ter caste, which practically precluded the possibi.ity of movement—fired two shots and killed him.

William Thomas Branitzky, who used to be a well-known architect with an office in the Unity building, fired the shots and avenged the wrongs over which he had been brooding for more than two years. In the doorway of his room, a witness of the shooting, was his young wife, Eloise, who is credited with causing much of the trouble. Branitzky is thirty-eight years old, his wife twenty-six; Sletten was twenty

1 AUSTRALIAN STONE FOREST.

In Albany, Australia, is to be seen a stone forest—in other words, petrified trees. The trees are of gray stone. It is suggested as an explanation of the strange phenomenon that in the depths of past ages the forest was in full vegetation, and then through some up heaval of the earth it was buried the sand Little by little the water acting on the sand penetrated the branches and solidified. The wood gradually disappeared under the layer of stone and in time took its form. Then in succeeding years the winds again carried away the sand, and the forest appeared anew, but of stone,

Senator Borah of Idaho, who has been very close in the counsels of the Roose velt-Taft people, insisted that inst ad of attacking this proposal, it would be vastly better to give it frank indorss ment, and promise that the Republicans wll not oppose its enactment into law. Hope Labor Will Turn. As to the labor vote, the conference appears to have reached the conclusion that this element is likely to give repe tition of the experience of 1836. For six or eight weeks after the convention in that year, Bryan had the labor vote. Then organization and education brought results: a turning of the tide was discernibie, and’ the swing away from Bryan and toward McKinley grew more pronounced down to election day. Whether that history can be repeated by dint of effective organization and hard work, is the question the Republi can leaders considered. Borah and other Western men frankly declared that labor in the West now tends 1o ward Bryan. It must be appealed to and organized and convinced, as in 1896. To do this, in a year when there is such unaccountable and phenomenal lack of interest as now, is recognized as rather a new task in political organization and direction. To this task Mr. Hitcheock will bend all energies, and he is already well on the way to a magnificent organization, while the Democrats have not started.

NEW YORK, July 24.—Richard Crok er, one time boss of Tammany Hall, is to return to New York this fall. While denying that he would take active part in the campaign for Bryan, Croker said that he hoped the Nebraskan would win and thought his chances good. It was while wa*ching his men mak ing hay at Glenca.rn, his Irish home, that Mr. Croker was interviewed. He was shown a picture in a Dublin paper, labeled the “Peerless Cne.” “So it is done,” said he. “Well, Bryan is a goo? man and the old party ought to win. But whose this man Kern? “Oh,” he continued, “I suppose I'll find a lot of stre.nge names when I get back again. The Republican party has been in power too long; it's time they were getting out.” Taking his pipe from his mouth Mr. Croker safd emphatically: “What sort of men have you got over ‘there anyway? There's Roosevelt; he's all right’ for writing books, but you don’t want that sort of man for Presi dent. He only knows one game. He don’t know the top and bottom, the man that shoots craps on the corner and the man that plays bridge In his club. He knows himself and his set, that's all. D'ye see? “And Hughes.

MARKET BREAKS AND TURNS WEAK President's Statement Gives Wall Street a Bad Scare.

NEW YORK, July 24.—Wall Street is in an angry mood today over the state ment given out on behalf of President Roosavelt that there is no question of the guilt of the Standard Oil Company. ‘Wall Street is speciaily solicitous about the President directing the Attorney General to take immediate steps for securing a retrial of the case.

The effect of the President's state ment Is an immediate fall in the prices of stock induced by selling for profits. Wall Street takes the view that the attitude of the Administration has umn dergone no change toward corporations and that there is to be a vigorous prose cution of the Qi! trust.

3 i

Prices of stocks which had been beol stered up mightily by the announce ment of the decision of the Chicago court lacked support today. Wall Street fs too timid to hold to the courage of its convictions regarding good crop Prospects and the general revival of

usiness, both of which have been worked to the limit by the bull con tingent in the market, and the an nouncement of the President of his be lef in the culpability of the Standard Oil magnates started a fresh selling pressure on the market that it could not withstand.

fd

Profit taking, which started in London, resulting in a lower range of prices for American securities abro~d made its ap pearance at the opening of the stock market here. Declines of about half a point were recorded throughout the list with Union Pacific shewing a loss of one point. Northern Pacific lost 3%; Baltimore and Ohio, Anaconda, Atchi son, and St. Paul. each 5%; Copper and Southern Pacific, 3%; Reading, Great Northern, preferred, and Canadian Paci fic, 15. Brooklyn opened higher. Rock Island and Car Foundry were un changed. Sinelting, Steel common, and Colorado Fuel opened 3 lower. Rock Irland preferred and Pennsylvania open ed 35 lower.

The stocks were well absorbed at first, and some of the leading issues recov

Tips on the various stocks' were in circulation in the rinz during the morn ing. Chief among the stocks sald to be aimed for i prices wus Union Pacific. and its goal was said to be 150. hankers believed this morning thal Union would go to 157%, because it must be remembered that the public sub geribee to the Union Pacific convertible bends at 90. As the bonds are converti ble into stock at 175 this would mean that bond holders could get out even ar 1F7%. The difference between 157% ind 160 probably represents the rewards Mr. Harriman is giving to bond holders for sticking.

j The weakening of the leading stocks of the early trading has been maigtain ed up to midafte n. Reading, ¥nion Pacific, St. Paul, dnd the Steels have suffered materially in the declines. An unexpected development of the warket is that the lower priced shares hue not met with any large losses. For the past two or three days there has been a good deal of buying of such shares as Alis Chalmers, American Beet Sugar, and many of the minor Industriais and smaller raflroads.

These stocks have been unaccountably strong today, and it is surmised that many speculators have unloaded tha higher priced leaders and bought into the low priced stocks believing that the reaction from the President's state ment would be only temporary in its effects, and that they would still stand to win, with not so much at stake In the lesser fluctations of the cheaper stocks.

TOT y Business today is much narrower in volume than other days during the week, being confined chiefly to taking care of the stock that comes out on the freightened selling, with no ad vances on the part of the bulls to force up the market. The tendency seems to be to let the market drift for a time, the bull leaders qu etly accumulating the stock thrown over, for use a few days hence, when the effect of the Presi dent's words have worn off, and the market turns upward again.

Bor ds constituted the principal item of business on the local stock exchange today. While only $4,000 of the railroad bonds actually went to the record, the bidding was active, and it would have taken three or four times that amount to meet the demand. Capital Traction 9's sold at 112, a new high price for the issue, Washington Railway 4's brought 50%, and Potomac Electric Lighting o's went at 105. These are high prices, and show that the invesunent demand for bonds is as good or better than it has been at any time duri the year.

Transactions in stoc amounted to 238 shares, 190 shares of Washington Railway and Electric preferred selling at 80% and 80%, and 100 Lanston at 10%. Nothing in these prices are significant, except that sales are made on the high level of the official quotations, and that the market, though dull, is in no sense weak. Money continues plentiful, with rates of interest on call loans moderate, and the situation is all that could be de sired, except the weather and ihe ab gence from the city of many of 1hose who would be active in the markt ir they were not enjoying themselves In the mountains or at the seashore, The Washington Stock Exchange will be closed tomorrow, It being a holiday in pursuane¢ of the action of the gov erning board of the exchange.

N.HESS SONS 931 Pa. Ave. N. W. THEE WASHINGTON TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 19 11 CAR COMPANIES RECOGNIZED EDDY To Be Received as Agent of Interstate Commerce Commission. By the agreement of the heads of the Capital Traction Company and the Washington Railway and Electric Com pany to receive H. C. Eddy, executive officer and secretary of the District Electric Railway Commission, and give him whatever information he desires, as an officer of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the authority of the trac tion board has been practicaliy estab lished at least. The railway companies have changed their attitude toward the subcommission to this extent, since the Interstate Commerce Commission enter ed into communication with them. For the present, however, the power of the Electric Rallway Commission itself is not officially recognized by the two railway companies, Both companies have notified tie commission that they will send in the dexired schedules as soon as the ma terial can be prepared. This means that the facts which the Electric Railway Cemmission requested as a basis for un dertaking the Investigations entrusted to it by the Inferstate Commerce Coni mission will shortly be in its possession, although recently tie railway compan ies refused this information to the sub commission, Answer Commission's Request. The Interstate Commerce Commissicn today forwarded to the Electric Railway Commission letters received from George E. Hamilton, president of the Capital Traction Company, and Clarence F. Nerment, president of the Washington Rallway and Electric Company, stating that schedules containing the mforma tien requested were being prepared, and a3 soon as concluded would be forward ed. The subcommission had requested the Interstate Commerce Commission to se cure the data, and the latter body im mediately supported its agent by calling for the information in its own name. The schedules call for the number and character of cars used on all car lines, the times of departure from the car barns, the arrangements for all-night services, and the points where transfers are made. As soon as these schedules have been received. it i» officially an nounced, they will be placed at the dis posal of the Electric Railway Commis sion. Acknowledge Appointment. Presidents Hamilton and Norment have also acknowledged the receipt of a copy of an order of the Interstate Com merce Commission appointing H. C. Eddy as a subordinate of that commis sion an assigning him to the Electric Railway Commission with the title of executive officer and secretary. Mr. Hamilton states that in declining to recognize the authority of the local commission his company is guiided by legal consideragions and not by any de sire to hinder Federal control. His letter, addressed to Chairman Knapp, and that of President Norment, follow: Hamilton’s Letter. “Dear sjr: Your letter of the 2ist in stant, with copy of order appointing 'H. C. Eddy to temporary employment in the Interstate Commerce Commission, and assigning him to the District Elec tric Railway Commission, with title of executive officer and secretary to that commission, received. “In reply 1 will state that Mr. Eddy, as an authorized officer, examiner, or agent of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, will be very cordially received and given the fullest information and assistance in his examination Into com plaints against the Capital Traction Company on file with your commission. “In declining to recognize the author ity of the Electric Railway Commission this company is guided by legal con siderations and Is not actuated by the desire to oppose or hinder Federal con trol; on the contrary we believe that the company's interests will be served and safeguarded by a fair -upervision and control, judiciously a, [iid by the Interstate Commerce Commniission. “Yours very trul “GEORGE E.
