BEARS WERE ROUTED
Through the Influence Of a Reported dig
Railroad Deal.

| New York, March 26-The recurrence
of the story of the northwestern rail
road deal, coupling the Northern Paci-
| fic and Burlington, was the occasion of
an extraordinary and impressive up
ward movement in the late stock mar
| ket today Another reason for the re-
covery in the general market was the
precipitate covering of short contracts,
which were put out with great freedom
and boldness by practically all the
trading elements on the exchange
The attack on the market by the bear
element met with inviting success, and
prices were broken throughout practi-
cally the whole market. Some showed
strength in the early dealings and
there was an apparent attempt to re e.
new the bull movement, but it soon be-
came evident that the at
tempt to advance prices. was
no longer in such powerful
and capable hands as had been the case
during the recent bull speculation.
When the bears found their attack no
longer contested they offered prices
down and they boldly made inroads of
between one and two points in practi
cally all active stocks on the list
1t was after nearly the whole session
was consumed in the process of an ex-
tension OF short accounts that the
Northern Pacific movement developed.
The bears were completely routed and
found the supply stocks very small,
bidding up prices on themselves at rap
id strides. Northern Pacific surged up
wards 5h points to 94%, a record price.
The rise in Burlington reached 45s

Columbus, O., March 26-The Su-
preme Court today dealt a death blow
to so-called debenture business in Ohio.
In the quo warranto proceedings
brought by the Attorney General
against the Inter State Investment Co..
of Cincinnati, the court entered judg-
ment of custer.
The decision is based upon the find
ing of the court that the methods en-
ployed by debenture companies are
those of lottery, that they are fraudu-
lent and are contrary to public policy
and are unlawful.
Assistant Attorney General Todd,
who had charge of the case for the
state, said today that in his belief the
nine debenture companies of Ohio Will
attempt to do no further business. Ap-
plications for receivers for most of
them have already been made. The
companies aggregate deposit in the
state treasury amounts to $530,000 ac
cording to their own reports The ag-
gregate liabilities to debenture holders
amounts to $2,00O,O0O, while the aggre-
gate assets claimed by corporations
other than deposits with the state
treasury amount to about 100000.

rupled in some respects, the fees turned
into the District treasury have doubled
and the general Importance and responsi-
bility OF the office has so very largely en-
HANGED that now that the present surveyor
has a reasonable hope of proper provision
for every other need of the office which
has been his incessant effort for years to
secure, he deems it not improper that he
should recommend that the salaries of the
surveyor and the assistant surveyor be in
creased to a point more commensurate
with those of other heads of departments
in the District service, and more in accord
with the exceedingly heavy personal re-
sponsiblity laid upon each, whose charac-
ter is well known to the Board of Commits
sioners, and which Is radically different
from the responsibility Of any other head
of a department.
Direct financial responsibility for any
error that may occur by reason of the
least break on the part of any subordinate
is, in it's last analysis, the burden carried
daily by the surveyor, who cannot possibly
see everything Of what is going on under
his supervision. He can only institute and
maintain such systems of checks as he
finds practicable. The work Of the assist
ant. which is chiefly the location of all lots
and walls in the city proper, is most exact
ing and responsible. l recommend an in
crease to $500 for the surveyor and 800
for the assistant, these figures being nearer
the ordinary commercial value of the pro-
fessional services rendered the community
by the two engineers required for the
duty" 80
