MAY USE TIME CLOCKS.
Innovation in Police Department Con
templated by the Council.

A new departure at police headquar-
tiers is said to be contemplated by the
city council in the introduction OF
time clocks to be distributed in differ
ent sections of the city for the purpose
of registering the time at which the
officers on duty are in those sections.
If the innovation is adopted a clock
will be placed in North Martinsburg,
one in the eastern part of town and
another in the western part, and each
officer will be required to register at
each timepiece once each hour. This
matter will be discussed by the coun-
ell at its meeting Thursday night, and
if the cost is not too great this clocks
may be introduced.

HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.
Engine of Train No. Left the Track
on High TrestIe.

Passenger train No. / on the Balti-
more e Ohio had an exceedingly mar
row escape from being wrecked on the
high trestle at Seneca. Monday even
ing, and it was by seeming miracle
that at least portion of the train was
not carried over the edge and landed
on the rocks below, distance of more
than 100 feet. When about halfway
across the trestle the engine was
thrown from the rails by a small piece
of board, blown there by the high
wind, and the heavy machine travelled
distance of couple of hundred
feet before it could be brought to a
stop. Another engine was procured
and the journey was resumed with but
slight delay. Old railroad men say
that how the engine was kept on tn
trestle after leaving the rails is be
yond understanding.

SPECIAL D1spArcH TO THE CALL.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, July 10.-One of the
significant results of President Roose-
velts hostility to the trusts and the
Governments new railroad rate regu-
lation function is the intention of sew
eral New York brokerage houses to es-
tablish branch offices in Washington.
The brokerage business in Washington
is already adequately cared for by the
local houses and by branches of some
New York firms. The explanation of
the influx of brokerage firms from New
York is found IN the desire of the great
financial interests and the trusts to
keep advised of the changes in the rela-
tion of the Federal Government to the
trusts and the railroads, so that they
may be forewarned OF any hostile ac-
tion.
It is well known that several Wash
ington brokerage houses have means
of getting inside information Of action
by the Government which is likely to
affect the stock market. How this is
done IS the despair of officials. but
during the last few months certain in
terests represented in Washington have
been we'll covered every time the ad-
ministration announced new investi-
cation or a new attack In the courts
against corporate interests.
In some quarters the establishment
of a larger brokerage business in
Washington is looked upon with appre-
hension. The "cotton-leak" scandal, by
which at least one official of the De-
partment of Agriculture is alleged to
have made 100000 by giving to brok-
ers tips" on unpublished cotton-crop
estimates, was a result of the specu-
lative fever. The apparent close rela-
tion between brokerage offices and the
Department of Agriculture destroyed
mating service.
Within the last three years the De-
partment of Justice and the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor have
greatly increased in Importance in their
relations to the business world. 1t is
within the power OF either of these de-
partments suddenly to take action
which, If not known to Wall street In
advance, would break an unsteady
market.
