Misgivings of Wall Street.

The President knows that Wall street
has some misgivings as to his attitude. He
is not seeking to correct these misgivings.
but he tells those close around him that
he would never see law put on the books
that would bring about a financial panic
At the same time he does not propose to
give his assent to a measure that will be
suitable to the heads of the trusts. Such
a measure would be ineffective and
farce
The President is satisfied with the atti-
tUde of Attorney General Knox as to special
trust legislation. The impression that be-
cause Mr.. Knox has been a corporation
lawyer he would act only at the request of
the President is declared on high authority
to be most erroneous one. Mr. Knox is
heartily with the President that antitrust
legislation must be had. and he and Repre-
sentative Littlefield will put their great
knowledge of constitutional and corpora
ton laws TO work to agree upon a bill that
VIII really mean something. Mr.. Knox is
losing S1Oo.TD a year a lawyer serving
the government. His talents and ability
can be fully appreciated under these cir
cumstances- He will not give his approyal
TO any bill that does not possess every ear
mark of accomplishing something and of
standing the tests of the Supreme Court of
the United States

REACHES HIGH MARK
STOCK OF CAPITAL TRACTION
GOES UP TO 125.
Sale of Power House Site the Cause, as
Destruction of Building
Forced Decline.

A record was made today in the price Of
the stock of the Capital Traction railroad
on the Washington stock exchange, when a
sale of five shares was made at 12J. The
par value of the stock is 100, and dividend
of per cent is paid. The prospect of an
extra dividend, well as increa sed divi-
dend, has caused this security to advance
during the past six months nearly twenty
points. During that period, according to
the figures furnished by Mr.. Frank H
Pelouze, the secretary of the stock eX
change, 11,1G0 shares of the stock have
been dealt in on the floor of the exchange.
1t has been the most active of the securi
ties where the shares are 100 par, but the
record shows that in that period Lanston
leads the list with 4J,459 shares. Then
comes Greene copper with 2S,34 shares,
Washington gas with 1868 and Mergen
thaler with S,239.
1t is a singular coincidence that the same
piece of property which caused Capital
Traction stock to tumble to the lowest
point ever reached in it's history is the main
reason for its attaining the highest point.
The extra dividend of 81 per share, which,
according to the street gossip, the directors
of the company will declare, is to be de-
rived from the $55Oo0O which is to be paid
for the power house square as site for
the proposed municipal building.

Miles West of the Capital-vice
President Gomez in Charge.
TO OPPOSE THE REBELS

The State Department has received a cable
gram from United States Minister Bowen.
at Caracas, stating that the Venezuelan
government has communicated TO him the
fact that President Castro has decided to
personally lead his troops against the revo-
lutionary forces in the field. and that Vice
President Gomez has now assumed charge
of the executive branch Of the government
Conflicting Views.
The news conveyed in Minister Bowers
dispatch is regarded in different lights
among South American dlpl mats in Wash
ington. The prevailing view is that moth
ing but a most acute situation would cause
President Castro to drop the reins Of gov
charge of the Venezuelan army at Valencia
and in those quarters il is firmly believed
that the ruler is TO lead forlorn hope and
must surely succumb to the threatened
heavy onslaught of revolutionary forces
In other quarters. however, confidence is
expressed that Castro will repe the i'm
pending attack. just as he has done many
others that have confronted him IN this
past years Of his administration. and fur
ther enhance his good record as tighter.
Nevertheless the fact remains that the
reVOlutloniStS have drawn tht ir nets closer
about President Castro this time than ever
before. Valencia is a town second H. i'm
portance only to Caracas and lies about 100
miles from the capital almost directly west.
1t is the base of military operations, has a
large population and in many respects is
the most important town in the republic Ii
is regarded here as the open - same" to
the capital itself, and, il is believed. its
capture would result in the early capitula-
tion of the seat of government and the oc-
cupation Of the yellow House" at Caracas

The Sherman Antitrust Law.

Mr. Knox has made many investigations
OF the bearing Of the Sherman antitrust
law, and finds that 1t is inapplicabIe tc
many OF the most powerful trusts of the
country. Repeatedly he has taken up the
case of some particular corporation charged
with working in violation of this law and
through his subordinates has carefully
sought TO ascertain just how far the alleged
trust might be going In the face of the acts
OF Congress. His study of these matters
has not convinced him Of the effectiveness
or the law The trusts know how the Su-
preme Court has decided at different times
as 10 the law. and the most of them man
age 10 keep beyond the line of prosecution
These Investigations have been of value to
the Attorney General and the additional
knowledge required will aid in putting to-
gether a trust bill that ought to pass legal
muster. W w y

Caused a Depression.

The destruction of the building on this
square which was used as the power house
of the cable system, then the motive power
of the road occurred nearly five years ago,
and in a few days thereafter the quotation
of the stock of the company fell below 80,
the lowest point it ever reached. The same
property is instrumental in bringing about
the record figure paid today, which, as
stated is the highest ever given for the
stock.
1t is claimed that the earnings Of the
company justify an increase in the dividend
from to per cent, and that the directors
are to make ihe change next spring.
In this connection it is interesting to note
that. according to the talk of the street
the Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany, controlling the other system of street
railways in this District is also doing we'll
and that its earnings are now sufficient to
enable it TO pay a dividend of per cent
on the issue of preferred stock, which
amounts to $500, coo. 1t is confidently
stated by those who are interested in this
property that a dividend on the preferred
stock of ) per cent will be paid within the
next two years. Whether these anticipa-
tions are too sanguine. it is generally con-
ceded that the management is economical
and is producing good results.

Carnegie Not Done Giving.

to-day; choice things in wash goods
are next to impossible to get from

200 new things opened yesterday with
