postponed. owing to the injunction issued
by Judge Carter. preventing the board
receiving bids under the present specifica-
lions, which the court ruled were discrim-

injunction will not delay the receiving OF
bids more than few weeks. as the board

favor of just enough alteration in the
specifications without disobeying the tech

Sahm, however, did not carry his point.

REPUBLICAN HOUSE CAUCUS
Decides to Let Things Remain as
They Are During the Com.
ing Session.

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The caucus
was held in the hall of the house of
representatives this afternoon and
lasted about three hours. Speaker
Henderson and all the old officers
of the house were made the unani-
mOu choice of the caucus, and a
major portion of the time was devoted
to an effort, led by Representative
Hepburn of Iowa, to effect some
changes in the rules of the last house.
Mr.. Hepburn has made a similar fight
for liberalizing the rules at the open
ing of each congress for a number of
years, but without success, and today
he vas again unsuccessful.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois presided over
the deliberations of the caucus and
Mr.. Loudenslager of New Jersey act
ed as secretary. There were 146 of
the 1913 republican members of the
house present. Mr.. Lacey of Iowa
placed General Henderson in nomina-
ton for speaker, and he was unani-
mously chosen as the candidate of
the caucus. He was escorted to the
chair by a committee consisting of
Mr.. Payne of New York, Mr.. Tawney
of Minnesota, and Mr.. Lacey of Iowa.
In response to a very enthusiastic
reception, Mr.. Henderson address the
members of the caucus briefly.
Mr.. Hepburn's effort to secure a
modification of the rules followed.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania offered a
resolution for the adoption of the old
rules with certain prescribed changes,
which, however, did not alter the
operation of the rules themselves.
After considerable debate this was
adopted and Hepburn's substitute de-
feated. No question Of policy was
preached.

SLUMP IN BRITISH STOCKS.
South African War Sends Values
Down,

London, Nov. 3O.-The stupendous
fall in British government, railway
and industrial securities since the
South African war was commenced is
almost without precedent. In two
years, the Bankers Magazine says,
the decrease in value of 1926 selected
listed securities amounts to the enor-
nous total of e143,9 GAG, 900. Consols,
which the day before the Boer upti-
matum We're quoted at 1924 are now
81 1916, whereas in the same period
several foreign stocks and American
railways rose in value about G47, OOO,-
600. The decrease in IA British and
Indian government funds amounted to
976,392,O00. The common stock of
10 British railways lost in value. in
the war period. over $50, 900, 900, while
the decline in railroad debentures and
preferences brings the total loss to
over, s100, 900, 900.
