NEW YORK. June IA sufficient ex-
rlanstiou Of the reactiouary tendencies In
today's stock market might doubtless be
found in the fact that prices have advanced
continuously since last Friday. Wall street
conjecture. however fixed upon various
other matters as accounting for the mar
ket's course. Among them were the feel
ings of disqulctude excited by the unofhciai
and FOR that matter cOntradicted accounts
OF the report regarding Equitable life al
fairs and further the dispatches from St
Petersburg setting forth the obstinacy OF
the Russian government in opening over
lures for peace. Notwithstanding the appa-
gently hopeless condition OF its military at
fairs At the same time the London stock
market WAS not weak. the operations here
for foreign account were upon a negligible
scale. Another factor in the weakness OF
the stock market was the sharp advance in
wheat and corn, which was attributed TO
the day = diScouraging intelligence respecl-
iIg the present status of the crops.
Now that the distended speculation in the
May wheat options have passed away 1t is
probable that Wall street will for the next
three months pay even more attention to
the course Of prices in the Chicago wheat
pit There was no news at all relating to
any particular stock aside from such vou-
tine matters as earning statements. The
local traction shares were again exception
ally strong for no particular reason that

The call for a statement of the condition

Of the district fixes the date at The close of

the statements of some of the individual
institutions will show a decrease. especially

Company, has resigned that position. and

0oO and continues:
THE revenues have kept up remarkably
well. and a comparison of them with last
years receipts exhibits a most striking
steadiness in the regularity with which the
customs. internal revenue and misceilane-
Gus Items have kept pace with last year

ceipts. representing all sources, stands at
$4!}2. C97 900. against S491 1874, 600. or an IN
crease of about $2,O00.00o. Such record or
stability is highly Indicative of continued
excellent business conditions throughout
the country.
But on the other hand. the large IN
crease of expenditures is indicative OF
either too much liberality in congressional
appropriations or of real growth IN neces-
sary governmental OUTLAWS, to meet Whlch

circular says: "A stockholder who holds

Of railway stock deposited - shares of the

Protest Against McKennOn.

Muskogee.-A protest has been
filed at Washington against the ap-
proval OF the contract Of Captain A.
5. Mckennon as national attorney Of
the Seminole Nation, and with IL
charges have been filed against the
official conduct Of the attorneys Of
flee during the past year.
The protest has been put in the
hands of Inspector J. George Wright,
at Muskogee. 1t charges that Cap
tain McKennon has been leasing and
buying land in the Seminole nation,
contrary to the regulations Of the
Interior department, which prohib-
its government officials from having
any interest in Indian lands. The
question which must be settled in
connection with the charges, If they
should be proven true, would be
whether the Seminole attorney Is a
Federal officer or merely an employe
of the Indian Nation.
Captain McKennon admitted yes-
terday that he and his partner, Will
mott, have lease on 800 acres of
land belonging to three negro allot-
tees, and have put improvements
upon it. He states, however, that
the negroes needed the money, and
that the leases are the best that
could be given the allottees, and
were made in their best interests.
All leases and deeds made in the
Seminole nation must be made on
blanks from the national attorneys
office, and approved by the governor
OF the nation. Captain McKennon
says that all these leases taken in
the nation are good, but that before
he assumed office, Moody Johnson,
secretary to Chief Halputta Micco,
now deceased, issued about 12O
leases that are not good. Captain
McKennon says that the fight on
him is being made by men who OBJ
ject to the protection afforded the
allottees through the attorneys Of
flee and want matters changed.

Oklahoma City.-"There has never
been a lineup of board members OF
the two branches of the Methodist
church instituted in our institution
as SUCH" said c. B. Ames, a lawyer
of Oklahoma City, o. T., at the Hotel
Baltimore. "Our board of trustees
is equally divided, but, as l have
said, there never has been time
when matters came to an issue or
the trial of the strength Of the forces.
/ want to say that there has pre-
vailed, so far as | have discerned,
the utmost good fellowship between
the men on that board. The insti-
tuition, although having been in ex-
istence only short time, is in ex-
cellent condition. Doctor Bradford.
who used to be in Kansas City, Is
our president, and has displayed
qualities that are exceedingly rare
in the conduct of that institution"
"The thing which makes Epworth
university a unique institution is
the fact that it is, I believe, almost
the first case in which the two Meth
odisms have been able to overlook
past differences and combine in the
support Of a great and good institu-
ton. They parted in 1914 and since
that time only in Shanghai, china,
have they been able to reach an
agreement on any enterprise, and in
that far-off country it was for the
operation OF publication house.
But we are hopeful that the affairs
Of Epworth university will progress
without the least breach. We hope
TO set the example of the two
churches working as one in this in
stitution. Then, possibly, this may
lead to other close relations, and
who knows but eventually reunion
Of the forces Of these great Metho-
dist churches"
