Early Disposition Demanded Of Az
fairs of Western Passenger
Association.

CHICAGO, April Am informal meet
ing OF the Western Passenger association
was held today with a view to discussing
the withdrawal OF the Rock Island road.

exist without the Rock Island. An effort,
therefore, will be made to keep the asso-

be impossible to let the latter association
in. The general opinion is that something
will have to be done quickly. Any action

Among those who failed to keep up their
record OF straight kills we're: ]. s. Fan

ham, Tex, Walter Spencer of St. Louis, w.
A. .Bakex Of Grimm, Ga, Farmer Burke"

Farmer Burke killed every bird he
shot at since the tournament began Mon
day until he faced the traps in the ninth
round today. He missed his ninth and
twelfth birds. Baker Of Georgia was con-
sldered a possible winner by many of the
southerners until he missed his tenth bird.
Among those who still have a straight
score, besides Crosby and Gilbert, are: Ed
Banks Of New York. Sim Glover Of New
York and r. O. Heikes of Dayton, o.
As there are sixty-three moneys to be

Grows Smaller.

Recapturtng the Cham
piOnship Trophy.

KANSAS CITY, April AT the close Of
the second day of the Grand American
handicap at Blue River park, the number
of wingshots with straight scores had been
materially reduced. OF the 14S who had
not missed a bird when the shooting stopped
yesterday, eighty nine dropped out today,
leaving hfty-four who still have a straight
score.
Forty-four of the ffty-four high men
have shot sixteen rounds. When the shoot
ing stopped this evening there were fifty
six men who had shot twelve rounds and
among them we're ten shooters with a
straight score.
On account of rain during the early part
Of the day, the shoot did not start until
IL o'clock and darkness came before all Of
the shooters could make the round Of the
four traps twice. The nfty-six shooters who
did not finish the sixteen rounds today will
be the first to face the traps tomorrow.
There will be many Withdrawals tomorrow
and the race may be decided before the
day is over. The weather today was dis
agreeable and 1t had much to do with the
scores that were made. 1t was a cold, raw
day. and the shooters were thoroughly
chilled. A hard northeast wind blew across
the park and unless a high flyer was hit
hard, it was blown out Of bounds. The
birds were fast and hard to bring down.
Crosby, iIber and Elliott stars.
Great interest was centered in the shoot
ing Of the three scratch or thirty-two-yard
men, Crosby, Elliott and Gilbert. Crosby,
who is shooting in perfect form, grazed
all OF the birds with ease and used only
one barrel on several of them. Gilbert
also had a straight score up to date, but ne
had two narrow escapes today. His tenth
bird, a strong left quarterer, was blown
against the boundary net and luckily fell
inside. One of his birds was a fast straight
outiyer and in shooting at 1t both barrels
of his gun were discharged at once and II
was called mo bird" He missed 1t and
would have had a dificult shot for a second
barrel.
Elliott, the Kansas City crack. missed his
tenth bird. The wind was blowing a gale
and the bird. a left quarterer, went over the
| left boundary line like a flash.
Mrs. s. H. Johnson OF Minneapolis, who
has won many admirers at this tourna-
ment, had a straight score at the end OF
the ninth round, but she lost her tenth and
twelfth birds. Annie Oakley did not miss
a bird today, but she failed to make a
straight score yesterday. "Wenonah,' the
other woman participating in the shoot
missed three birds today.

THE MARKETS
Wall Street Review.

New York. May l5.-The passive condition Of
the speculation was not changed today. The
volume Of the dealings fell away to what is prop.
erly known as midsummer dulness This condi
ton Of the stock market is by no means abnor.
nal at this season. due to the usual shifting
course Of money resources and the uncertainties
of the crop season. The present waiting attitude
Of the market is therefore entirely reasonable and
natural. The money furry last week and on
Monday was the corrective influence and has
suited in the present conditions Tie dullness is
acccntuated, Of course, by the additional element
OF uncertainty in the threatened strike Of anthra-
cite miners. Most of the price movements Of any
consequence in today's stock market might be
traced to the influence OF the acquisition of the
Chicago, indianapolis and Louisville jointly by
the Southern Railway and Louisville and Nash
vile. The strength Of the Chicago and Alton
and Kansas City Southern stocks was obviously
based on o speculative assumption that those
roads might be available for similar north and
south Junction In spite OF the strengthening Of
competing lines by the deal, Illinois Central was
strong. The Chicago. indianapolis and Louisville

and Eastern Illinois, which has been discussed as
a possible outlet for Louisville and Nashville, re-
Hected disappointment. General Electric jumped
