ALL AT SEA ON
POLICE ORDINANCE
Act is Now Law But What Will
Become of it.
The Members Of the Force Are Anx.
fous to Know What Their Fate
VIII Be.
SOME OF THE LEGAL POINTS

The aldermen last night refused
to sustain the mayors veto of the
police ordinance, and 1t is now the
law. The police commissioners will
meet Monday night and will prob
ably reduce the force to twenty men.
as provided for under the law. and
Increase the number to thirty. as
provided for under the bill passed
by the Legislature June LIST, when the
bill becomes effective.
The question is very complicated
one. and no one seems 10 know whar
to do or what will be done. The
members of the council contend that
they have made their appropriation
for the year and will not increase il,
so the police board can increase the
number Of men to thirty, IL they
want to. but the men will have 10
have their salaries reduced so as "a
come within the appropriation.
The commissioners, on the other
hand. contend that the police are
appointed for one year in December,
and that they were appointed last
December for this year. and there
fore the council cannot come in. af-
ter their appointment and reduce the
force. The council, they contend,
points to the fact that the legislature
bill placing the number at thirty
men is not retroactive, and there
fore. ineffective, this year, so, they
make the same point. and say the or
dinance just passed by the council
is amenable to the same plea.
The members Of the force. as can
be easily appreciated. are wondering
where they are at" and who is to
be let out, II any one is let out.

Los Angeles herald., 1906-02-06
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.--The most striking
feature of the stock market was the de-
crease in the rate Of activity. It is many
weeks since the aggregate dealings for a
day have fallen much below the million
and a half shares mark. The total sales
today were about one million shares.
Half of the days business was done
during the first hour. The reason for the
falling off was clear enough--the COM
pletion of necessitous selling, so far as
was Immediately urgent, and a disinclina-
ton to renew any large buying. There
was q. lively selling movement during the
course of the first hour, which was nat
ural enough in view of the unsettling eff
feet of the break in prices of Saturday
When the dizziness of the market gave
notice that selling pressure was. subsid-
ing. there was a slow upward swing
which became more languid the higher
The outlook for a settlement of the
wage dispute among the coal miners was
Ing and speculative sentiment was in
clined to take 1t for granted that strike
would occur. The anthra cite coal car
riers were equally weak with the btu
minous group, rejecting the fears that
the labor trouble, while inaugurated
among the soft coal miners. would in
volve also the anthracite regions.
Speculation was inclined to halt or to
proceed with caution The failure of con-
frmation of the many rumors of import
temper, owing, to the very. large share
played by such rumors in the most ag-
gresSfve advances of the recent past.
The prospects of the money market
also are regarded as not calculated to
foster an active speculation. The inaugu-
ration of an outgo of gold is generally
expected to occur later and to report
considerable proportions The small en-
gagement today for shipment to South
America is evidence of the control of a
gold supply in this market by foreign
bankers. Meantime the credit require
mentS are eXpandiig the loan department
of the banks, and the influx of cash from
the interior is likely to become less as
the season advances. Subtreasury opera
tons also continue to make large inroads
on the supplies of the banks.
The Wabash and the Hartman Pacif1cs
made good showings of net earnings to-
day. Attention is called to the fact that
since the first Of the year new bond is
sues have reached the sum of nearly $780,
900, 900. of which nearly $50, 600, 900 are rail-
road issues. The demands thus indicated
upon capital throw light upon the course
of the loan item of the banks.
The Hill roads made ready Roadway
against depression and Hartman Pacifics
were helped by their December earnings
and by the report that Union Pacific had
acquired control Of Illinois Central. The
recovery in the general list was at no
time complete and met with frequent
reactions.
The closing tone was rather easy, but
much below the best point of the day.
Bonds were heavy, total sales, par
United States bonds were all unchanged
