COUNTING THE PENNIES.
1t Is Not Known Yet What Lafayette
Day Yielded.

The Washington school authorities in
terested in the Lafayette Monument
Fund which is to be raised from among
the school children of the United States,
are pleased with the reports that come in
from the various local schools.
It is impossible to make an estimate of
the exact amount collected Wednesday,
but it is known that the children of the
National Capital have contributed their
share to the fund.
The returns came in so fast In some of
the schools that it was necessary to detail
large boys and girls to keep account of
the little donors and others to take charge
of the pennies as they flowed into the cof-
fers of the commission appointed to col
lect the money for the monument.
1T is great undertaking to raise a
quarter of a million of dollars among the
scholars of the public schools, and in some
countries it would be an impossibility,'
said Supervising Principal n. P. Gage.
of the second division, but l think the
plan will succeed. When one looks at the
plan in all its lights it is really impossible
to see how 1t could fail. American boys
and girls are taught to love their country
almost as soon as they can talk, and one
of the first of their many heroes in his
tory is the gallant Lafayette. His charac-
ter is one that appeals to children because
he was young, brave and sacrificed almost
everything in order to help a struggling
people, who had absolutely no claim on
him or his services other than that i'm
posed upon all human beings to help the
weak. Therefore, 1t seems to me that the
bare task of securing enough money to
build monument to his memory in a for
eign country is easily accomplished.
The most difficult part of the plan is
what may be called the mobilization of
the funds. A hundred dollars in pennies
makes quite an unwieldly package to
handle, and when it comes to counting the
coin in order to put it away for future
use the task assumes gigantic proper
tions. In my division of the local public
schools only two of the buildings have so
far made their returns and / do not ex-
pect to be able to make a full report until
the end of the week"
1t is expected by the local authorities
that the amount collected in the District
will amount to $500. That figure was an
nounced last night, being based on the
supposition that each child contributed a
penny.

Wholesale Arrest of Questionable
Jackson City Characters.

BY arresting five colored men last night
Policemen Riley, Miller and Cover and
Precinct Detective Horne have practically
broken up a most troublesome and no
terious gang of alleged thieves. The men
arrested gave the names of Charles Jones,
John Henry, William Holt, George Will
liams and Willie Smith, and all are locked
up at the First Precinct Station. Jones is
charged with the larceny of a coat, and
the others are held on suspicion until
specific charges can be placed against
them. All are said to be members of the
jackson City gang, which has been giving
the police no end of trouble for some time
by its raids and depredations.
Last night, shortly after $50 o'clock the
men visited the secondhand clothing
store of Frank NJ. Goldsmith at 9O9 D
Street, and while his companions waited
outside Jones went into the store and
asked to see some socks. Goldsmith in
formed him that he did not have the de-
sired articles in stock. Jones then left
the store, muttering something about
funny kind of a store that don't sell
socks" and Goldsmith repaired to the
dining room in the immediate rear of the
store.
The first intimation Goldsmith had that
he had been robbed was when a man en-
tered the store and, calling to the pro-
prietor, informed him that three colored
men had just grabbed some clothing and
fed, together with two more colored men,
who had evidently been keeping lookout
for the police. He could give no descrip-
ton of the men, and did not see in what
direction they had run. Policeman Miller
happened along at this time and to him
Goldsmith reported his loss Miller was
Joined by Policeman Riley, and the two
started out to locate the robbers They
met a small boy who informed them that
some men had run up Temperance alley.
The policemen hastened up the alley,
and, seeing nothing of the men, were
about to give up the search, when Riley
detected a noise on the roof of a two
story house which backs on the alley.
While Miller remained below and
watched .iley climbed to the roof of the
house and discovered Jones crouching be-
hind a chimney.
He ordered the fugitive to surrender.
and, upon refusal, Riley drew his re-
volver and at the point of 1t compelled
the man to follow him to the ground
Shortly after Jones was locked up John
Henry appeared at the station and want
ed to know if a friend of his had been
arrested. Stationkeeper Case took Henry
back TO the cell containing Jones' and
when Henry identified him as his friend
he, too, was promptly locked up.
Later Bicycle Policeman Cover arrested

his suspicious actions. and when he saw
Cover he reported the fact to him.
Just about this time Detective Horne
picked up Williams and Smith and
marched them to the station. Here they
were identified as the men wanted for
other robberies recently committed

still attached, under his own coat. Henry

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Sensational Advances Abroad Cause
Acceptances Here.

Chicago, Oct. 2O.-Foreign strength,
which has been the main influence for a
week, was accented today by a drop in
the consols and by a new defiant speech
by one of the English political leaders
on the controversy with France Liver
pool showed sensational advance, 35-Sa

The result of such strength abroad was
enormous acceptanees of American wheat,
even conservative claims being as high
as $50 loads. There were other figures
putting the business very much larger.
Although Lake rates were up TO three
cents, and boats hard to get at that,
cash wheat sales here were probably
50o,o0O bushels, with 10000 from one
house. Prices here at one time showed
almost three cents over Tuesday and the
close was only fractionally under the
top. AT one time the market was two
cents over calls. In the last hour there

HON. JOHN M. GREGORY DEAD
A Long Career of Service I'm Educa-
tfonnl Fields Is Ended.

Hon. John Milton Gregory, LII. D., the
first Civil Service Commissioner, and
president of the University of Illinois,
died at his home in the Concord Wednes-
day night as the result of old age. He
was seventy-six years old.
DR.. Gregory's death closes long career
of active and eminent service in the edu-
cational world. He was born in Sand
Lake, Rensselaer, County, N. Y, July 6,
1922, and was a descendant of Henry
Gregory, who came to Boston from Not
tingham, Eng, about 1885. Dr. Gregory
was graduated at Union College in 1876
at the head of his class, and spent two
years in the study of law. He then be-
came Baptist clergyman. In 1852 he
was appointed principal of classical
school at Detroit. Mich. In association
with President Erastus o. Haven, of the
University of Michigan. and Prof A. s.
Welch, of the Normal School, he es-
tablished. in 1854. the Michigan Journal
of Education. As editor of this periodi-
cal he became so widely known among
the teachers of Michigan that he was
chosen superintendent of public instruc-
ton of Michigan in 1859, and was re-elect-
ed twice. declining denomination In
1864.

THE STOCK MARKET.

Absorptive Powerjand Wheat,s Fur

New York. Oct. 2o.-Two circumstances
were effective in the days market in in
ducing the room traders 10 take the long
side of the account, and chiefly under
their purchases advahcesi were common.
These were the further rise in wheat and
the unexpected amount of absorptive
power the market showed at the opening
Of business. Foreign houses We're fairly
heavy sellers of stocks in this mar
ket. but these sales, which aggregated
upward of 10000 shares. were taken with
surprising ease by local buyers. The in
dications before the opening of business
pointed to a decline in prices, and the
professional element of the street was
generally disposed to make It's ventures
on the short side of the account. The
early cables showed the London market
very much unsettled, with consols at n
decline Of 1-2 point on the uneasiness ere
ated by the utterances of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach upon the Fashoda incident
A further influence in this direction
was the advance in the discount rate of
the Bank of France. 1t might have been
expected that such selling for foreign ac-
count as appeared at the opening of
business in a market of such narrow di-
declines. AS noted, however the demand
for stocks and the fractional dec ines
that took place proved to be of unex-
pected proportions. and this evidence of
the technical strength of the market gave
the tone to the subsequent trading. In
the early dealings the market showed
more animation than for some days, but
with the course of the day the trading
again became light in volume. The ad-
vance in wheat, except in so far as 1t was
Il possible reflex of the European political
conditions, was the most important fea-
ture of the outside situation. The
strength of wheat was again in response
to heavy European purchases. which in
deed seem TO be justified by actual grain
trade conditions. The net changes in
prices in the standard stocks were again
very limited. In the railway list sharp
advance in Manhattan Railway made
that stock a conspicuous feature. Gen r
al Electric was heavy. and the decline in
this instance was on reports that the
Manhattan Railway contract would be
made with q competing electrical COM
pany. The granger shares were very
firm. a logical reflection OF the favorable
grain situation. The Pacific stocks
which bore the brunt of the early selling
for foreign account. also developed firm
ness with the course of the day. The
trading in the industrial shares was CON-
paratively small, and in the general
course they moved in accordance with
the remainder of the market.

The day was slow and uninteresting
| with some strength in prices during the
last hour, but nothing to base hopes of q
better condition of things on. So far this
week the stock market has been most
| unsatisfactory. There mas been very lit
tie business, and prices at the close yes
terday were lower than at the opening
on Monday. Various conditions combine
to cause this weakness. The recurring
question as TO the elections the unset
tied condition of the foreign markets, ow-
ing to the ever-present, but now very per-
sistent, talk of war between France and
England, and an advance in the discount
rate of the Bank of France are some of
these matters. Another trouble is the
professional manipulation in various
stocks which still continues to the great
detriment of general business. The one
good time in the days news was the
talk of the renewal of the export de-
mand for grain. This is important and
will undoubtedly have its good effect on
the grangers. At another time 1t would
be enough to send up prices all over the
market. Now no such thing is to be
hoped for. The majority of traders are
pessimists and do not expect much
change for the better for some days to
come.
The American market was called on to
take 10000 shares of stock from the ar
bitrage houses yesterday. London feels
uncertain about the political situation be-
tween England and France, and is not
disposed to be optimistic about stocks,
even Americans. In this connection 1t
is interesting to note that the increase
in the discount rate by the Bank of
France is the first for four years.
1t is stated that the American Sugar
Refining Company and the Independent
companies have Withdrawn the guarantee
of prices that wasy given at the termina-
ton of the recent cuts in prices. There
is the best of evidence that the fight will
be worse as the weeks go by for some
time to come The Dqscher refinery will
be in operation at the beginning of the
month, and the statement is made by
people connected with the company that,
it will be disposed to fight as long as
the trust is.
A high authority says that the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company will earn
per cent this year on the preferred
and have surplus equal to between 8
and 10 per cent on the common.
Tobacco was fairly strong yesterday. In
spite of the stories in the papers yester-
day that the fight is on in earnest be-
tween the trust and the outside refiners
There is nothing in particular In the sit
uation to account for this. 1t seems al
most certain that Tobacco must go lower
in the next few weeks. especially if the
fight is waged so strenuously as is pre-
dicted. 1t is said that the Light &
Myers cut of 10 per cent has been met
by cut of 10 per cent under that, and
that also the American Company is offer
ing premiums to all tobacco statesmen of
wholesale houses.
Manhattan was strong yesterday, an
parentiy on manipulation and in re-
sponse to gossip about the electrical
equipment of the road again. 1t is now
said that the equipment is to be given

was weak on this rumor which would
seem to give 1t some chance of being
true. General Electric is not manipulated
as much as Manhattan. Another story
about Manhattan that has not even a
shadow of probability, but which also
had It's effect on the market yesterday,
was that TO the effect that Metropolitan
has control of Manhattan.
