THE FIGHT AGAINST
AUTOMOBILE RACES.
Newport Citizens Carry Their Case
to the Appellate Court--Hearing to
Be Given on Wednesday.

, The Iocomobile associat ton OF America
and the ll3 signers of petition to the
city council TO give permission TO hold
she races. Though plaintiffs and defeno-
ants are numerous the number interested
i'm the outcome of the contest Is much
greater.
The compiainants recite in their COM
plain: that they are owners of estates In
Ocean, Harrison and Carroll avenues and
that they occupy their residences, the
only means ingress and egress 10 the
same being by means OF the avenues
named, which are the avenues over
which the city council has given permis-
sion 10 have the races The machines 10
be raced are. II is said. to be operated by
gas or electricity, and TO be run at the
rate OF 40 miles an hour.
The new permission to hold the race
complainants say was granted notwith-
standing their protests and that the ac-
tion OF the council in this regard is ultra
wires and void because In violation Of
chapter "a sec. OF the general laws. and
IL is also averred that II Bliss, Ward and
Shanahan permit the races to take place
under a pretended authority OF the city
council the races will be In violation OF
the city ordinance OF Newport and prove
an obstruction in the most busy hours
10 public travel on the most important
highways in the city and be a public nuis-
ance
II is alleged that all these acts are the
result of a conspiracy and further that
one OF the dangerous points OF the con-
spiracy Is 20 he the taking Of the members
OF the police force from their regular
duties OF guarding property TO keep the
public from using the highways named
as is their right under the law OF the
land. That these cases will prove especi-
ally dangerous TO those occupying estates
on the avenus named, and those In their
employ is set out as part of the special
damages to the complanants.
The city council having no rights To
give UP the use of the streets for this
purpose the complainants asks that all
the parties named in the bill OF complaint
be enjoned from illegally usurping the
use of the avenues mentioned on AUG. Both,
1901, as they have set out TO do.

LOCAL INDUSTRIAL STOCKS

Have Been steadily Advancing, and
the outlook is for Better Prices.
Locs. industrial stocks present some
decidedly gilt-edged features and there
has been a steady advance in prices
which promices to continue.
The new issue of La Belle, placed on
the market in January last at par, is
now quoted at ITO, and is held strongly
at that figure Many well informed
and conservative people expect 1t TO go
to 120.
Wheeling steel and Iron stock is held
at 112, with Ill bid. This stock is
very scarce, and very little is being
sold at the price named. ut has been
steadily going UP since February last,
and the knowing ones expect the
stock to sell before fall at 125.
Fostoria glass stock is firmly held
at 113.
There is a great furry in Black
Diamond Copper stock, largely held in
Wheeling, Benwood. Bellaire and Steu-
benville, as we'll as at Calumut. All
the treasury stock offered at 81 has
been absorbed, and it is earned on good
authority that Eastern parties have
offered to take 100000 worth at that
price. At Calumet, where a great deal
of the stock is held, none can be had
for less than So. The property is re-
ported to be looking very fine, and the
largest owners of stock, as well as the

in the world.
These examples show that there are
properties right here at home, or con-
trolled Or largely held here, that are
much better 1or profitable investment
than kite-fying on the New York ex-
change, and the fact is well worthy of
serious consideration by investors.

Business on the exchange here to-

the tone was rather more cheerful and
only one small failure was announced
as the result of the difficult settlement
recently completed. 1t is confidently
hoped now that all other troubles OF
this character have been averted.
The American department was par
ticularly idle, the arbitrageurs doing
very little. On the street nothing was
done. Prices, however, moved within
a much narrower range, about ~
points on the average. There was some
liquidation for the account of default
ing dealers, and more wreckage of this
kind is expected. The opening in New
York hoisted Fries, which were further
helped by talk here of a dividend in

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE opening
of the stock market was strong, follow
ing the lead of the higher London
quotations, and more confidence was
maintained throughout the list al
though, transactions have become con-
siderably diminished compared with
few weeks ago. Union Pacllic remains
the feature of the market, both in deal
ing and the range OF fluctuations, and
with few exceptions the general list
for the time being follows the market
movement of the leader. Amalgamated
and Anaconda, on the dissertation OF
the injunction, rose TO b1712 and 4S
respectively. The low priced stocks
were fairly strong. Especially nota-
BILE were the Wabash issues, but in the
afternoon, when profit taking in such
stocks as Union Pacific and st. Paul,
took place, the general list sagged and
great deal of the early advance was
lost. The market looks healthy to us.
