FINANCIAL
Stocks and Bonds.

New York, May 1S.-The tremendous
potentially for evil always latent in the
eastern question was measured to some
degree by the sense of relief reflected in
the exchanges of the world today over
Turkeys acceding to the demand by the
powers for a cessation of hOstilities
against Greece. Values all over Europe
improved from moment to moment, and
even American securities, remote as are
the properties they represent from any
danger of harm in the cataclysm of a
European war. advanced in price all
through the market. The improved
tone abroad was the salient influence on
the market, but it was aided by various
favorable domestic factors in the situa-
ton. The further weakening of the
exchange market, both for sterling and
for continental exchange, added to the
conviction that if any gold is exported
this week the amount will be small
There was in the tone of the stock mar
ket reflected Indifference to the posi-
bility of action by the senate on the
Cuban question that might be unaccept-
able to Spain. This was partly due to
the belief prevalent in Wall street that
the administration has determined upon
n conservative policy in Cuba, but hold
ers of securities are more inclined to
timidity on account of the agitation of
the Cuban question than was formerly
the case. Perhaps the restricted volume
of the trading was due in part to the
Cuban discussion in the senate, the total
sales reaching only about $4,000 shares.
sorbed by the five leading stocks, the
smaller sales were better distributed
through the list than for some time past,
many usually inactive shares coming in
for q fair degree of activity. Chicago

close, when it reacted sharp fraction.

parallel all day, showing very vigorous
strength; st. Paul, however, showing a
slightly wider reaction just at the close.
The strength of the grangers was a ma
terial factor in the strength of the whole
market and was assisted by the grain
situation in the northwest and the in

A False Alarnl.

A special appeared in several papers
few days ago, stating that Henry G..
Roberts, an old Austin boy, was arrest
ed by the Turkish troops as a spy. The
dispatches went on to say that Congress-
man Sayers had called on Secretary
Sherman regarding the matter and that
the latter in turn cabled the American
minister to see that Henry was turned
loose, etc. The facts in the case are
these, as told by relative, who has re-
Gently heard from Congressman Sayers
about, the matter. Henry Roberts re-
signed his position as private secretary
to Minister Terrell to accept a position
as war correspondent on the London
Times and that he is now doing this
work for that paper. Another war cor
respondent for the same paper by the
name of Alexander, was arrested by the
Turks as spy, and for time it was be-
fieved to be Roberts. When Mr..
Alexander hears that our Henry Roberts
got all of the glory out of the thing he
will no doubt feel as though it were a
case of cloves labor lost" The Texas
newspaper boys are generally able to
look out for number one, and will even
scoop cO-worker sometimes.

of the discouraging news unsettling the
confidence of the smaller shorts and
causing them to become buyers. The re.
suit was an advance to n lie. New
York reported clearances of wheat and

firm till the receipt of Bradstreet's re-
port of the worlds visible, showing de.
crease of 1.953,000 bushels, whereas
100000 BUSHES or more decrease had

mors of heavy export business at the sea-
board caused Il slight stiifening of prices
Just before the close, the final quotation
for July being 20 Csc.
Corn was easier, but showed more
strength than expected in view of the
fine weather and the weakness of wheat.
Shorts were liberal buyers on the open
ing break. This was the sustaining fea-
ture of the market.
The market for oats was uninterest-
ing, and a small business was transacted
Prices were almost at standstill for
some time after the opening, but when
wheat commenced to go down oats did
likewise. There was a good cash bust
ness at lower prices.
Provisions Were rather puzzling, some
dealers buying the market up. then sell
ing it off, with apparently no other object
than to keep the market moving. The
opening prices were weak and lower on
heavy hog receipts west. Packers gave
the market good support.

FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Former Austinite Narrowly Es-
capes Watery Grave

capes Watery Grave.
A few days since, while in surf bathing
at Tampico, Mex, Mr.. John w. Maxcy,
who was for several years a prominent
civil engineer in this city, but who is
now located at Tampico, narrowly es-
capped drowning at the latter place. He
was in bathing with several companions
and had ventured far out into the surf,
put no one felt any anxiety, as he was
known to be an excellent swimmer. His
partner in business, Mr.. Robinson, how
ever, happened to look out in the gulf and
quickly observed that Mr.. MaXcy was
showing signs of distress. In a few sec
onds he and Mr.. Ollaway were quickly
swimming toward Mr.. Maxcy, who,
seeing that they would be unable to
reach him in time, swan desperately for
a Jutting point on the beach, lower down
the bay and finally succeeded in reaching
It, in thoroughly exhausted condition.
Seeing that they could be of no further
service, the two would-be rescuers tried
to return to shore and Mr.. Robinson was
successful, but Mr.. Ollaway was so
exhausted and the undertow of the surf
was, so strong that he could not make
headWay, and he sank from sight. Mr..
MaXcy, in the meantime, had somewhat
recovered his strength, and it was only
by the combined efforts of Several by
saunders that he was prevented from
again venturing out in the deadly current
to the assistance of the young man who
had SO bravely risked his life for him.
His friends realized that it would be an
utterly hopeless attempt and would only
result in another life being lost SO pre-
vailed upon him to remain on shore.
A few minutes after Mr.. Ollaway
sank beneath the waves the breakers
rolled his body in, and every effort was
made to resuscitate him, but all was un-
awaiting. The body was almost purple,
and the physicians attending gave it as
their opinion that he was seized with a
congestion, and for that reason was I'M
ape to buffet the waves and reach shore
He was buried in Tampico the next day,
and his heroic, self-sacrifc death has
cast a gloom over the entire community

County Attorney Calhoun Saves the
County 5000 Acres of Land.
County Attorney George Calhoun re-
turned yesterday morning from Throck-
morton, where he went week or ten
days ago to represent Travis county in a
land case brought by one e. p. Davis.
The four leagues of land owned by the
county are located in Throckmorton
county, and some three or four years ago
Davis instituted suit, alleging that
the boundary lines embracing the county's
land were incorrect and that his survey
called for parcel of the land, aggre-
eating about 1000 acres, all of it very
superior land.
Davis had able lawyers employed and
made hard. but unavailing, fight.
County Attorney Calhoun beat him ali
along the line, and the judgment was for
all the county claimed.

Crazy Yesterday Morning.

Crazy Yesterday Morning.
A Statesman reporter had a conversa-
ton yesterday with Mrs. Aveline, the
woman arrested here on a charge of in
sanity some days ago, and she is quite
an intelligent woman and says she has
seen better days.
She was partly educated in France. and
finished her schooling at st. Mary's
academy. Philadelphia. .r,, =.
She tells a curious story of her ex-
perience here in Austin, and indications
are that 1t will be very thoroughly inves-
tigated by the court.
She asserted yesterday that all her
property had been returned to her but a
diamond pin that cost her 1928. She
bought this pin from Van Vliet dia-
mond dealer on Market street. between
Grand and Stockton avenues, San Fran
cisco. He has her name and number of
the stone. which she says weighs over
two carats.
She has bought great deal of jewelry
from Van Vliet, and yesterday she sug-
gested that if officers would write to
him they could find out something about
her and her standing, as she lived in San
francisco eleven years and is well
known there
She rents a safe deposit box from the
Houston Loan and Trust company, and
yesterday showed the reporter receipt
for the rent of the box.
To q question why she was travelling
over the country, singing on the streets,
she said:
Il have recently met with reverses
and times were so hard that | thought
would try that method of making
living, but my experience has been a
very sad one. 1t was my first attempt
and It is going to be nv last"
She is emphatic in saying she and the
little girl, her niece, were drugged here
in Austin.
Mr.. Aveline, who was with his wife
yesterday, says he is an Odd Fellow and
a member of one or two other secret or
ders. They left for Houston on the
noon train Yesterday
