Sharp Bear Attack on Federal Steel
Issues Today.
MARKET SOMEWHAT IRREGULAR
Missouri Pacific and Low Priced
Stocks Were Strong.
GENERAL MARKET REPORT


| Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 23-Openine
| prices this morning reflected the presence
of considerable outside demand and g
| steady undertone prevailed during the
| greater part of the day. London cables
| were mainly favorable, the American de-
partment holding well and attracting some
business even though the miscellaneous de-
partment had yielded to the holiday apathy
In the local market the best buying cen

way issues.
The industrial shares reflected the even
| ing-up process to a considerable degree,
prices being irregular in consequence.
Covering and realizing were the opposing
features of the latter department. The ex-
citement of the day was supplied by Fed
eral Steel, q somewhat sensational decline
in the common stock marking the trading
of the noon hour During the opening hour
the price of these shares had advanced to
49%, new high level, and were given eX-
Cellent support by inside interests, evident
ly in the hope of making the price touch 90.
Traders were persistent in their selling,
however, and finally forced a decline of 3
per cent under heavy volume of trading.
The preferred stock meanwhile was be-
ing bought cautiously on It's dividend pros
poets. and. while unable to maintain its
bette" buying than selling. The attack on
Federal Steel was conceded to have been
undertaken primarily to force a general
decline throughout the list, but so far as
the original movement goes the effort was
scarcely successful.
American Sugar was strong and weak by
turns, but finally the covering of short
contracts became pronounced and forced
moderate advance.
Missouri Pacific was given excellent sup
port during the early trading, but later In
the day profit taking came in as feature
and q moderate reaction followed.
Several of the very loW-priced specialties
were advanced moderately, and the spec
ulatIve element are inclined to depend upon
such issues for the resumption of activity
after the holidays.
Texas and Pacific, Chicago and Great
Western and issues of this character are
included in the latter classification. The
market clio ses the week with confidence in
higher prices Gtill pronounced, notwith-
standing any changes in prices which might
be cited against this view.
A market standing the test Of the ap-
preaching holiday season and with week
of only four business days ahead is one
justifyng rather hopeful criticism. Earn
ings and dividends have already been dis
counted in few instances, but it Is be-
lieved that the market Is far from having
exhausted all of such prospects. Reactions
may be frequent from now on, but there is
little to fear frolh permanent adverse in
fluences. Over-trading is still the most
likely of all stumbling blocks in the pres
ent market.

NEW BUILDING URGED.
additional Accommodation Neces-
sary for the Department of Justice.


Attorney General Griggs and other off,
cIais Of the Department of Justice are Yet

4 new building for the department, and are
collectively working to impress the import
ance Of the question upon the minds of the
men who have the power 10 make the ap-
preparations.
II Ii said that nearly every congressman
who has been approached has expressed
himself as favorable to a good appropriation
but when effort Is made to get immediate
action some other than the plan proposed is
suggested, thus delaying and weakening the
chances of something 20 be done Nearly
every member of The appropriations commit
nlittee Of The House fdVGrs a new building

House committee public buildings and
grounds take up the matter this is opposed
on the ground that Il would forever remain
there. At the same time, no plan is put

Il is now hoped that il the House does
not make appropriation the Senate will

MILES PROBES BEEF SUPPLY.
The General investigating an Alleged
Army Scandal.


CINCINNATI. Ohio, December 23.-Gen.
Miles started back to Washington today,
after being the guest of honor hero last
night at the New England banquet. The
Commercial Tribune today had the follow
ing interview with him:
When asked as to the investigation into
the beef rations scandal he is now making.
to which he referred in his testimony on
Wednesday. Gen. Miles said:
My suspicious were aroused several
months ago and l at once started an inyes-
tigation into the matter of sending meat to
the army in the West Indies. The part in
my testimony of yesterday relating to 327
tons of refrigerator beef and 1913, 900 pounds
OF canned fresh beef which was unfit for
food is only an item. This quantity was
sent to one town in Porto Rico. How much
more was sent l do not know
How about the beef supply for the army
in Cuba?'
1T was just as bad The conditions there
were no better than they were in Porto
Rico"
''You think. if it was the intention to ex-
pertinent with beef for the army in the
tropics, IL would have been better to limit
the experiment to a few companies, say,
instead OF the whole army?"
Yes; or it might do for one man to try
it on his own stomach but to feed an army
that was more than experiment"
when did this beef supply question first
come up? Did you protest to the War De-
partment against sending dressed beef to
the tropics and receive no attention at all?"
Il am not going to discuss that"
How about the chemicals used in pre-
pairing this beef?'
AS | stated in my testimony, 1 believe
the action of these chemicals was largely
responsible for the sickness in the army
have medical authority for this statement
and l believe 1t to be true"
What channel will this investigation
take upon its concuson?"
Il will not discuss that"

The case Of Joel Height, charged with
numerous cases of larceny which was be-
fore Judge Kimban the greater part of yes
terday, was continued this morning Mr.
Hunt opened the proceedings by addressing
the jury in behalf of his client, and was
followed by Mr.. Frisby in the same behalf.
The arguments occupied more than two
hours. Shortly before 1 o'clock when Mr.
Frisby was still speaking in behalf of his
client, Judge kimball inquired how long
ne would require to finish his argument,
Mr. Frtsby turned and thoughtfully scru-
tiniZcd the clock

He said he would only take about two min

red mustache.
Well, many OF the jury as favor TAX

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS
An Increase in the Amounts Urged by Com
missioners and Others.
superintendent Powell Asks for More
Money for the Public
Schools.

The Commissioners again appeared be-
fore the subcommittee on the District of
Columbia of the Senate committee on ap-
preparations this morning at II o'clock.
Commissioners Wight, Ross and Beach
were present, together with Auditor Petty
at the beginning of the hearing. OF the
subcommittee Senators Allison and Cullom
were present, together with Senator Teller,
a member of the full committee.
Before the hearing was begun a large
map was displayed on the wall, on which
the number of police officers on duty at
one time in the District Of Columbia was
shown. 1t was a graphic illustration of
the long distances which a single officer
has to patrol. and was an admirable argu-
ment in favor of more liberal appropria-
uons for the police force of the District
The map was carefully studied by the
senators.
Superintendent Powell of the public
schools appeared before the committee dur
ing the morning session.
Urged an Increase.
Prof. Powell spoke to the committee
strongly in favor of an increase of the ap-
preparations for the public schools of the
District to make them conform to the Com
mlssioners' estimates, saying that the esti-
mates were not excessive in any respect
anu tudt all tne money asked Tor was ab-
solutely necessary in order that the best
efficiency in school work might be reached
Mi. Powell advocated one appropriation
which was not in the estimates, but which
is heartily indorsed by the Commissioners.
This was an additional appropriation of
$1,000 for the manual training school build
ing which is to be constructed at the cor
ner of Rhode Island avenue and 7th street,
on land lately purchased by the Commits
sloners. and on which the lumber yard of
Wheatley Bros. was located For this pur
pose S125,O0O has been appropriated, $4,000
for the land and $4,000 for the building.
l. has been shown that there are 800 pupils
who will seek entrance to the schools in
this building and the building now plan
ned will not accommodate that number of
pupils. In order that proper accommoda-
tions may be provided an additional appro-
priation of $4,000 is needed for a larger
building, for which the site now owned
by the District is ample.
At 2:15 o'clock Maj. Sylvester, superin
tendent of police, went before the sub
committee and made a strong appeal for
more liberal appropriations for his force
than are contained in the bill as it was
pas ssed by the House.
