missioner Macfarlaad today made motion
that johnson be granted an opportunity to

The occasion was Johnson's second APP
pearance before the trial board within three
months. he having been found guilty on
charge OF Conduct unbecoming an officer-

Johnson's appeal can be granted on this
occasion, even at an apparently very late

fdently expected an Increase in both the

ends when next the directors take action

operative so far as the large interests in
the company being in favor OF 1t. OF

and debenture bond holders must be taken
at the special meeting called for October

carried through new era would be begun
in the finances Of the Wabash.

has been SO arranged that 1t was impossi-
BILE to raise funds for developing the prop

found that the only way to reorganize the
finances Of the company was to make one

vide for the retirement Of the debenture
bonds. which have always been bugbear.
and for the funds needed for double track

that within a few years. at least, 1t would
be possible to pay a dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. Such action Is possible SOON

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 23-Attention was
today called to the fact that the market
was now so broad and active that it was
practically impossible to predict what GER
tain stocks or the market as q whole
would do on given day. 1t was pointed
out that the extreme irregularity yester-
day furnished sufficient proof OF the cor
rectness Of the foregoing assertion. Men
who have not been altogether In sympa-
thy with the big upward movement which
started last Friday morning were now con-
WINGED that If present plans were carried
out the market would continue strong and
active throughout September and perhaps
into October. It was difficult for them to
believe. however. that a big stock market
could be conducted for the next month or
six weeks with the supply of money no
larger than it is now and with the demand
in view SO large.
It was learned from good sources that
the proposition to buy the Union Pacific
holdings Of Great Northern and Northern
Pacific stocks and lease OF the Great
Northern's ore properties by the United
States Steel Corporation were by no means
the only plans under consideration by the
men who started the present movement In
STOCKS. 1t was understood tnat the aoOl-
tional plans that were being worked out
involve principally the railroads. So far
as could be learned, with the exception of
the ore deal, no big undertakings were be-
ing developed with respect to the industrial
companies whose securities are traded In
on the New York stock exchange.
X
II
From ali that could be heard United
States Steel common will be the center OF
attractin in the trading during the next
few weeks It was understood that men
who have been the biggest factors In the
present market SO far have taken their
profits in Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific and have bought heavily Of Steel
common.
1t was reported that prominent interest
in the steel corporation had done this very
thing. It seemed to be confidently believed
that the present movement In Steel COM
mon would carry the stock well above So
1t was positively stated by men who claim
that they have first-hand. knowledge that
the enormous transactions around 46 yes
terday were entirely OF a genuine char
acter. 1t was generally assumed that most
Of those purchases were Of manipulative
character.

A FORTUNE TO A DOG.

A Chicago man died the other day
and left $4,000 to his dog. That is, the
income of the fund, during the life of
the canine, is to be used in taking care
of it, We often hear it said that
man has the right to dispose of his
own money exactly as he pleases as
long as he does not use it to the injury
any man the right to tie up $4,000 in
the care of a dog when so many
human beings lack the barest neces-
stiles of life?
1t is hardly possible to believe that
the Chicago man was guilty of any
thing less than a crime when he left a
fortune to his dog. The dispatches
say that he had no relatives and that
nobody was dependent upon him. Even
so. he must have known somebody
to whom that $4,000 or the half or
quarter of it would have been a god
send. somebody who. if left that sum,
would have given the dog the best Ot
care throughout its life. We believe
in humanity to dumb animals, we be-
lieve they should be taken care of in
the kindliest manner, but there is a
reasonable limit. AS between a dog
and a human being we are for the
human every time. though it must be
admitted that some human beings are
far less responsive to kind treatment
than some dogs.

FOOTWEAR COSTS MORE.

The Boot and Shoe Recorder. pub
Iished at Boston, presents some inter
esting figures on the increased cost Of
footwear 1t is shown that the cost Of
producing a shoe to retail at $3.50 mas
gone up SO cents per pair within the
last year. OF this amount only three
cents is represented by the increased
cost of labor. The rest of it is repro
scented by upper stock, sole leather. in
ner sole, heel. toplift. welt, counter. lin
ing and trimming. all of which have
increased per pair of shoes from one
TO seven and one-half cents.
If shoe dealers and shoe wearers de-
mand the same quality as those bought
a year ago. says the Recorder. they
will have to pay an advance in prices
sufficient to cover this additional cost.
1t is not very hard to account for the
increased cost of shoe making and con-
sequently the increased cost to the con-
sumner, for in the end abe consumer of
shoes, as the consumer of everything
else. must do the paying. Practically
everything about an honestly made
shoe. except the cloth used in Innings
comes from a hide of some sort.
And the meat trust, which does sorne-
thing like 90 per cent of the slaughter
ing of the country. practically controls
the hide market The trust can make
the price of hides almost anything it
pleases, thanks 10 the benefcient tariff
on hides. 1t has been estimated that
the hide tariff adds practically fifty
cents 10 the cost of every pair of shoes
worn IL the United States. The manu-
facturer does not get this fifty cents.
The trust gets it. In other words. the
trust levies a tax of fifty cents. through
the manufacturer on every pair of
shoes you wear.
II congress should muster up enough
courage to repeal the tariff on hides,
thus permitting foreign hides to come
into competition with the trust, the re-
suit could not fail 70 be an immediate
reduction in the price Of shoes. 1t

TO STOP A LEAK.

Representative Lands estimates that
the government will be saved some
thing like million dollars a year by
the operation of a resolution passed by
the house of representatives on Mon
day last, provided the resolution also
passes the senate. This resolution
provides that hereafter the printing
committees of the senate and house
shall fix the number of public docu-
ments to be printed, with a view to
printing no more than are absolutely
necessary. In the event that the de-
mand is larger than was ANTICIPATED
the committees are given authority to
order the issuance of another edition
The resolution was introduced at the
request of the president because of the
great mass of printed public docu-
ments now stored in various Washing
ton warehouses. Mr.. Lands is quoted
as saying that the accumulated stock
of junk in the warehouses of the city
would require two and a half miles of
trains to haul away" The representa-
tive said also that 10000 pamphlets
containing reports of the Swayne i'm
pGdCuLneuL proceedings naQ Deen
printed and only 300 of them distribu-
ted. This is only one example of many
hundreds.
It is easy to believe that the govern
eminent will save a million dollars a
year through the passage of the reso-
luton, always provided the committees
do their duty carefully. Leaks in the
government printing office have for
years been numerous and notorious.
1t has often been said that the work
could be done by private contract for
one-third or one-fourth Of the sum the
government has been paying. Finally
the dissipation of funds through the
printing Office reached the point where
1t became a pubic scandal, and the
president was forced to take some
action.
From this time forward it is to be
hoped that the department will be
operated in a businesslike manner. as
it should have been operated these
many years. If congress will only turn
it's attention to the leaks in the print
ing office and elsewhere millions of
dollars can be saved to the public
treasury without impairment of any
service :
