STEVENS FOR PRESIDENT.
Changes TO BE Made In the Washing
ton Traction Company.

Frederick c. Stevens, director and the
chief local head Of the street railway ard
electric syndicate, is to become President
of the Washington Traction and Electric
Company. George ". Truesdeil, the pres
ent president Of the company, is to reti e
or take lesser Office, that of vice presi-
dent possibly These statements are made
on excellent authority though they have
not been made officially as yet, and will not
be until tomorrow or later.
There has been much dissension and bad
feeling in the directorate OF the big syn
dictate during the past three months Tie
management of the allied lines has been
thoroughly satisfactory to one party, but
not in the least so to the other, it is said.
One statement is that the New York and
the Washington men in tine company have
been opposed to each other. The result of
these disagreemeDtS is to be seen in the
changes now to be made. according to this
story. 1t is said that the fight has bef n
amicably settled in compromise. The
Washington party gives up its president,
but is allowed to name his successor.
A meeting of the directors of the COM
pany is scheduled for today, but may be
postponed until next week. These two
changes will be made at this meeting when
it occurs if present plans are carried out.
Other plans regarding a general reorgani-
zation OF the officers of the company have
been discussed, but nothing has been de-
cided on. Statements recently published
regarding these changes are known to lie
untrue for the most part.
Much interest is felt In the statement
that some officers Of the syndicate, the New
York end it is understood, are in favor of
reducing the transfer privileges now given
by the system. These officers are said 10
contend that the revenues Of the company
are not as large as they should be, and that
this is chiefly due to the present plan of
giving transfers, so that it is possible to
ride anywhere on the system for one fare.
1t is known that other officers wish the
present system continued. and contend that
any change will make the company most
unpopular with the people.
In this connection people on + Street
yesterday we're calling attention to the dis
cussion in Congress recently regarding the
transfer question. Representative Cow
herd tried to have the consolidation bill of
the syndicate amended in such way as to
forbid any abrogation of the transfer priv
ileges. He made a strong speech, assert
ing that as soon as the bill was passed the
company would begin to cut off transfers.
Chairman Babcock at the time made a
speech or the other side of the question,
stating his belief on good authority that
no changes would be made. The amend
ment was not passed. and the bill became
a law without it few days before the end
of the session.

ZINC MINES SHUT DOWN.
Observation-Disclosures District Plant.
Waiting for Higher Prices.

JOPLIN, Mo-, June 4.-Most of the zinc
mines of the Missouri Kansas district are
shut down this week, in accordance with
the request of the Zinc Miners Associa-
ton to close the plants Indefinitely and
quit producing ore until the smelters ad-
vance prices and pay the schedule as made
by the association.
Formerly the smelters bought ore at
their own prices and had the mine owners
completely at their mercy. Ore prices
were then held down and only the richest
properties could be operated with profit.
These conditions led to the organization
of the Missouri and Kansas Zinc Miners
Association year and a half ago, and as
soon as the association began to assert
itself zinc ore prices advanced and reached
figures never dreamed of before. For the
past six months prices have been declin-
ing and the association concluded to Or
der another shutdown

Dizziness was the feature of the market
during the greater part of the session
yesterday. The opening was strong for
the most part on London buying, but to-
ward IL o'clock there was a slight tend
ency to Glide off, and business almost
ceased. Later the early fractional losses
were recovered. but the dizziness con-
tinued. There was no significance in the
business and nothing on which TO base
any justifable prediction as to the imme-
date future Of the market. 1t would
seem, on general principles, however, that
the improvement is likely to continue
until after the Republican Convention.
The news of the day was generally good.
The Bank of England has reduced its dis
count rate from 3 1-2 to per cent, a fact
that indicates the ease OF money conditions
throughout the world and precludes the
possibility that the present gold exports
will be of much Importance. The 'ank
statement on Saturday may not be a very
good one, but this also will not be i'm
por;ant. Another advance was made in
the price of refined sugar yesterday, and
It gave rise to more gossip regarding the

International Paper common stock is
selling around "a. 1t has had fair rally
from its lowest price, but there a.e reasons
why it should go much higher, according to
friends Of the company. The statement is
made that the concern is earning II per
cent on this common stock, and that thee
is every prospect that it's business viii! be
better next year than it is this. 1t has
been known for long time that the com
pany has been doing large business AID
a profitable one, and for this reason there
has always been a little mystery regarding
the passing of the dividend on the comm on
stock. The explanation given by people
identified with the company is that in order
to extend its business largely both in this
country and abroad it was decided to tu.n
the surplus earnings into working capital
for time. This has been done with OK
cellent results-for everybody except the
people who bought the common stock at
the top prices.
