THE FALL IN regulations.


Street" Rather a Serious Thing.
New York Financer.
The fall in regulations in the Wall-street
district lately has been quite as marked
as the fall In stocks. The testimony of
Capt. Leroy Dresser in the United States
Shipbuilding case seems to reveal clearly
that high finance as practiced by some of
the leading opponents of industrial promo
ton is only slightly removed from the old
fashioned thimble-rigging games with
which the public is familiar. The shame
less manner in which deals were made for
transferring water-logged properties from
one syndicate to another. and the equally
reprehensible agreements, that the chief
promoters should have the first opportunity
of plundering the lambs through sales at
fictitious valuations are illuminative al
though perhaps not edifying revelations to
those who have been wondering why the
stocks they bought sa year ago on such
declined so persistently in price. The meth

Dresser,s testimony test snh are shock 10 the
show that the whole movement in Wall
street for the last two years has been lead
ing up to such a elimination.
Does any sane man believe for moment
that the saturnalia of wildcat promoting
which has been going on there since 1900
had Tor It's OBJECT, or was inspired. by aQy
other motive than the enriching of in
siders?
There is no philanthropy in Wall street:
there never has been, and nobody who is
acquainted with the district expects that
there ever will be. At the same time there
is code of ethics to which some of the
more pretentious of Wall-street interests
have professed allegiance. Now that the
last prop has been knocked from under
these claims, who will marvel that the pub
lie has deserted the market? In the light
of the exposures of last week, how silly
seem the academic discussions of selling
fevers." 'undigested securities and other
features of the situation. with which in
siders and leaders have been RECALLING the
investment world. The only thing wrong
with Wall street Is that the greed for
wealth has led men To sacrifice reputation
and morals in a mad scramble for power.
They have the wealth--some or them al
least-but the power is slipping from them,

of high moral principles would be willing

WITH POPULAR VAUDEVILLE
New Theater Fast Nearing Compile
ton and Will Be One of Cosiest
Little Playhouses in West.

Work on. Walla Walla's new play
house. "Rasmus' Star Theater" in the
Stahl building, is being rushed 10 com
pletion for the opening performance
which will take place on Monday eve
ming, October 10, with a high class
vaudeville troupe. Mr.. Rasmus is in
Portland at pre5ent booking attrac-
tons and shaping things up for the
opening of the new theater. In let
ter to the Statesman today he stated
the opening performance would be the
same which opens Mr.. Shields new
house in Portland October II.
Work on the theater has progressed
so far that the painters and kalsomin-
ers will finish the interior decorations
within another week. The balcony
has been completed and part of the
seats erected. The new seats for the
parQuet are expected shortly and will
be installed Immediately on receipt.
The color scheme employed through
out the theater and lobby is national
red, which altogether gives a very
pretty effect Particular attention has
been paid to the stage and settings,
which will rival many of the larger
theaters of the coast. The stage has
an entire length of so feet and a
width of 25 feet. On either end will
be stationed neat and convenient
dressing rooms.

No Trace of PiCkpoCkets
Who Turned Bold Trick.
DESCRIP TIONS ARE VERY, VAGUE
Police Learn Two of the Men Were
Seen in East Main Street
Saloon Yesterday.

With the $460 rifed from the peck

young pickpockets who are credited
with turning a clever trick have SO

of finding a possible clue. Mr.. Anon
in his excitement of losing so much
of his wealth and in such a manner
has been unable so far to give any
but vague descriptions of the men
and the police in a measure have been
at sea.
Two men who stood outside the
market saw the quartet follow Mr..
customers were constantly passing
in and out, little attention was paid
TO them After touching Anon for
his "wad" the men left the market
one by one so as not to eXicte suspic-

The police learned last night that
two of the men answering the de-
