ways been a very active member. AS
yesterday was her seventy-f1rst birth
day anniversary, the members OF the
Unity Circle thought It fitting to re-
member their honored member by a
pleasant surprise.
AS Mrs. Morse is unable to attend
the meetings Of the lodge, ii has been
the custom in years past for a portion
Of the members to meet at her home
on each of her anniversaries.
The ladies present passed the after
noon in a. social manner, and at 6
o'clock a supper was prepared and
served by Mrs. Morse's guests. After

Sugar Refining Declines on Profit
Taking Sales.
metropolitan Shares Advance, With
Transit Showing Firmness.

New York June S.-Comparatively small
changes appeared in the early dealings in
the general stock market, though the un-
derlying tone was one of great strength.
The London market was reported weak in
all its divisions. but very little attention
was paid to this circumstance or 20 the
dealings here for foreign account.
A feature of the dealings at the opening
was Chicago Terminal preferred, which
rose rapidly, later losing part of its ad-
vance. Metropolitan Street Railway also
advanced smartly, and Manhattan and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit were firm. Sugar
Refining was active and feverish, and the
stock declined sharply after the opening on
profit taking sales. American Steel and
Wire was dull and uncertain. Interna-
tional paper was a strong feature of the
industrial quarter.
Fractional declines were noted in the
granger shares after firm opening. The
trading was in fair volume and was again
marked by more confidence than has been
shown in some weeks.

Way for Prosecutions.
Indianapolis, June S.-The supreme court
of Indiana Tuesday gave a sweeping de-
cision against trusts, and Attorney Gen
eral W. L. Taylor will Immediately oegin
a vigorous raid on the combines.
The recent legislature failed to pass an
antitrust law, but it is thought that the
present decision will be as effective as
any new legislation that could be devised.
The case decided was that of two COM
panies which had been organized to supply
natural gas and which hadicombined to NIX
prices. The court held that they were
abusing their corporate powers and that
their franchises might be declared for
feited. 5+
Judge Jordan, who wrote the decision,
said in part:
when the State seeks to destroy the life
of an incorporated body 1t is expected to
show some grave misconduct some act,
at least, by which 1t has offended the law
of its creation, or something material
which tends to produce injury to the pub
lie, and not merely that which affects only
private interests for which other adequate
remedies are provided.
.Where, however. the facts disclose that
a corporation has failed in the discharge
of its corporate duties by uniting with 9TH
ers in carrying out an agreement. the per-
formance Of which is detrimental or in
furious to the public it thereby may be
said to offend against the law OF Its erea-
ton and consequently to forfeit Its rights
to its franchises.
"It is an old and familiar maxim that
competition is the life Of trade, and what
ever act destroys competition or even re-
- xrhn g
tain relations to the public is regarded by
the law as injurious to public interests,
and is therefore deemed unlawful on the
ground Of public policy. =

rule, that il the act complained Of. by its
results, will restrict or stihe competition

the Various stations.
War Department oficials are highly
gratifed over the returns Of the recruiting
| stations throughout the country. Reports
| received at the department show that the
enlistment Of recruits Is progressing rapidly
| and satisfactorily. Already sufficient men
to raise the Regular Army to the full war
strength have been recruited into the serv-
ice and within the past week many of the
| recruiting stations have been discontinued
and the recruiting officers ordered to other
duty.
Notwithstanding that many recruits are
on hand for service In the regular estab-
lishments it takes sometime to equip them
and get them in shape for campaigning.
This is particularly true Of men to be sent
to the Philippines. Hundreds of recruits
are now at Presidio, San Francisco, where
they have been stationed for weeks past.
At other places in the country men are
quartered awaiting orders to San Fran
cisco or to join regiments.
Although the Nineteenth Infantry has
now but !19 men, sufficient recruits are on
hand in the country to raise 1t to Its full
fighting strength OF over 1900 men, but
they must be gathered together and sent
to Camp Meade and there fitted out and
put in shape for service. This will take
several weeks. but the regiment will be
ready to leave San Francisco on the Ham
cock as arranged. The Hancock is to leave
Manila this week with a regiment of VOL
unters, and will not reach San Francisco
for about a month. 1t will then require a
week or ten days to overhaul and repair
the vessel, and 1t is thought al the War
Department that the Nineteenth Infantry
will depart for the Philippines about the
latter part of July or first of August
The War Department has received re-
ports from regimental commanders that
many of the recruits enlisted are not up to
the army standard physically and in some
cases are disqualified for service in the
tropics. Secretary Alger some time ago is
sued instructions directing examining sur
geons to be more careful in the examina-
tion of recruits and recently instructions
were sent to General Shafter at San Fran
cisco. directing that a board of medical
officers be appointed to meet at the Pre-
sidio for the purpose Of examining re-
cruits for service in the Philippine Islands.
General Shafter has advised the War De-
partment of the appointment of board
in conformity with these instructions. He
explains in his order that all recruits now
at san Francisco or who may hereafter ar
rive there, shall be examined with a view
Of eliminating such as may be found phys
ically disqualified. All cases OF physical
deficiency will be reported promptly for
action of the War Department
The board appointed by General Shafter
consists OF Major Edward B. Mosely. sur
geon; Acting Assistant Surgeon Charles n.
Barney, and Acting Assistant Surgeon Ed
win p. Hayward.

The stock market was active and strong
during the morning hours today, and there
was every appearance of good buying N all
the leading issues. Prices went up from a
fraction to three points or more IN the
first two hours, and showed no signs of
weakness at any time. This strength, fol-
lowing the advances of yesterday, was q
most cheerful augury to the bulls who had
more or less looked for a recession imme-
diately on the opening in keeping with the
traders tactics of the past three weeks or
more. 1t could not be said with any cee-
tainty of course. that the advance would
be sustained and continued, but the out
look was the most hopeful that has been
seen for some time. Whatever the imme-
diate fluctuations may be. however, there
are very clear signs that the leaders are
buying stocks on every recession in the
expectation of a good market later this
month. Ii is freely predicted that prices
will be much higher before the end OF
June for the benefit of the prospective in
yestors in July. The market is almost al
ways put up just prior to the July us
bursements of dividends and interest
One of the best signs of the renewed in
terest of the leaders of the market was
the buying of Brooklyn Rapid Transit by
Flower and other prominent interests this
morning. The stock was advanced steadi-
ly to above ia in the first hour and showed
every Indication OF going higher at IL. 1t
is said that prominent people not hereto
fore interested in Brooklyn have peen buy
ing the stock heavily for investment during
the past three or four days and that the
stock has been taken out of the market.
The bears were prominent in their cover
ing operations in this stock this morning.

bought and they both advanced rapidly
during the early trading.

every symptom Of going much higher dur
ing the day.. Traders. however, were shy
OF investing In the stock on account OF the
we'll known manipulative methods of its
friends.
Steel and Wire declined to So in the
early trading but from this level seemed
inclined to advance and the general opin-
ion was expressed that the shorts bad be-
come frightened by the strength Of the
remainder of the market and were cover
ing heavily. Despite the talk in bearish
quarters Of a possible failure of the di-
rectors to declare a dividend on the stock
this month the general opinion is that 1t
will be declared and that 1t will be at least
per cent. 1t is known that the directors
are unanimously in favor of a dividend,
only disagreeing as to the rate. The COM
pany is earning enough at the present time
to pay its dividends twice over. and at
this rate would be able to set side another
full years dividends at the end Of this and
still have money in the treasury. Federal
Steel common and preferred were both
held back somewhat. apparently by the
weakness Of Steel and Wire during the
first hour, but they began to advance well
later.
