one in the local business world. and es-
pecialiy in the stock market. which has
Witnessed much activity and important
variations in prices. some Of them toward
a higher level of prices and Others
notably in the case Of Merscnthaier Limo

said with truth that the Investment ana
speculative demand for securities has IN
creased rather than diminished. and that
The outlook is for a continued steady

broke to SIS IL and closed at that figure.
It was said that the inside bull clique had
forced the shorts to cover and were will
ing to let the price go off somewhat. But
even now 1t would seem to be dangerous
to go short OF the stock. as the insiders
undoubtedly hold the control Of the situa-
ton. The stock is not worth its present
price compared with many other good Sc
cnrities, despite the continuance of the
big earnings Of the company.

The optimistic friends OF the Washing
ton Traction a-d Electric Company now
wonder if it is not possible that the gas
bill is really a plan in disguise for the
requirement of the gas company by The
syndicate instead of the requirement OF
the syndicate by the gas company. Il may
be stated in this connection that there
has been a slightly more friendly feeling
toward the Washington Traction 4 IL per
cent bonds recently.

Washington Gas has continued to ad-

boom Of the stock is undated. Yesterday
it sold at Ga 12. equal to 65 with the
dividend, the highest price on record. The
occurrence Of the large demand for this
stock Mt the same time with two other
events in the lighting situation has given
rise to many surmises. These two events
are the introduction of bills in Congress

Ell. TRIP HAS RETURNED
WAS a MEMBER OF THE ALL-AMER-
ICAN TRAP-STOOTING Fam
He Says the English and Scotch Are
No Match for American Shooters
deception for Tripp.

Ernest H. Trip, of this city, who was a
member of the All-American ~trap-shooting
team that went TO England and won every
match in which 1t participated, arrived
home yesterday afternoon. The party that
went to England consisted of Thomas a.
Marshall, captain, Edward Banks, William
r.. Crosby, Fred Gilbert. Frank Parmalee,
Rollo o. Heikes. Jack Tanning, c. w.
Budd, Leroy Woodward, E. H. Trip and
Mr.. Merrill, of Milwaukee. The party ar
rived in Boston last Tuesday and went di-
rectly to New York. Three of the mem
bers remained in England.
The Utrecht Gun Club, of New York,
has arranged a special match shoot for the
All-Americans. to take place next Monday,
and six of them will remain over for the
event. Mr.. Trip, Captain Marshall, Frank
Parmalee and Charles fBudd were unable
to accept the invitation and left New York
for their homes Wednesday.
w had a fine trip and won everything
we went after" said Mr.. Trip last night.
w went to England for the purpose OF
participating in the international match in
London. but when We arrived there was a
challenge awaiting us for "A match with
the Scotch shooters, TO be held at Glasgow.
We shot remarkable scores in the interna-
tional match at London and won easily.
The English do not shoot as well as the
Americans and nearly all of their matches
are at targets, but they arranged a few
live-bird events for US. In shooting at in
animate tagets they use both barrels, while
the Americans use but one, and they handi-
capped us in the match. They used the
second barrel about 80 per cent. in shoot
ing at the targets. and with this advantage
over us they were unable TO cope with our
skill.
After winning the International match at
London we engaged in several other i'm
promptu matches and won them all. We
went to Glasgow. where our ten men scored
969 out of a possible LOCO, to S73 by the
Scotch. Our opponents were simply ap-
palled at our wonderful scores. In that
match Gilbert and Merrill made clean
scores and | scored 81. We were gone six
weeks. but we did not have much time for
sightseeing. as there were so many match
es for us to engage in. All of the members
of the American team came home with
more money than they started with. and
they all spent money literally. The English
money was so easy TO win that three Of
our crowd decided TO remain there until

POSSIBILITIES FOR NEXT SEASON.


President Watkins would not discuss the
question of guarantee money posted by the
indianapolis club, at the beginning of the
season. but President Meyer said a tele-
graphic vote had been taken of the men,
bers of the league and ii was decided that
Watkins should forfeit the $500 for failing
70 play out the season. This money will be
divided at the end of the season among
the clubs who remain in TO the last. Cat
terson was also forced TO post a guarantee
of 500 and that makes $1,000 In the hands
of the president as a guarantee for one
club. as Matthews secures the indianapolis
franchise. When Ellis was forced out OF
the league his $500 was returned TO him,
President Meyer saying that Ellis did not
give ~. but that his franchise was taken
from him. The club owners were very lib
eral then. but voted that Watkins should
forfeit his $500. evidently In the hope that
they would get a small slice of IL at the end
OF the season. 1t is better for the manage
ment 10 lose the $500 than TO continue the
season losing money every day.
Watkins would not discuss the prospects
for Indianapolis next season other than TO
say the city will be i'm an organization com
posed of cities as large as Indianapolis
AS there is talk OF the American League
abandoning Milwaukee and probably Cleve-
land there Il a chance OF those two cities
being in the same leage with polls
next year. The league next year will. no
doubt. be composed of Milwaukee. Mime
apolis or St. Paul, and probably both, Kan
sas City and probably Omaha in the West.
Cleveland. Indianapolis. Toledo and prob
ably Grand Rapids In the east. There is no
positive assurance that these cities will
most OF them will be In the same organiza-
tion with Indianapolis next year.
