| New York, March 6.-SensatiOnal
buying of the shares of the Reading
| Company today gave Wall street its
most exciting experience since the
Northern Pacific contest of six years
ago. Reading had been strong in the
| face of a generally weak market all
through the morning session Cf the
stock exchange when shortly after one
o'clock there developed an enormous
! buying movement in the shares watch
carried the price up more then 5
points i'll half an hour
Up to the close of the market there
was nothing official to show the soIrce
of the purchasing orders but a per
sistent rumor was in etrcuIa fon ~
L, H. Hartman xssss hhGa.Ein,sghhe Gyiil7 hhg s.St,.
with the object Of acquiring fcontro! a
the property. 1t was said also that the
Reading stock held by the Lake Shore
had been turned over to Mr. Hartman
so that he would have absolute con-
troll.
The reports as to Mr.. Hartman buy
ing We're given credence in spite OF
the lack of anything official to con-
firm them but there were other rumors.
One of these was that J. p Morgan &
Company, who formerly dominated
Reading, were buying to resume their
former position in the property, an
other was that the New York Central,
which owns the Lake Shore was add
ing to the Lake Shores holdings OF
Reading and a third attributed the
buying to the Delaware, LackaWan1a
and Western. Still another rumor was
that Mr.. Frick was buying back stock
that he sold some time ago at higher
prices.
All the time that the stock was
going up efforts were made without
success to discover the source of the
buying. Mr.. Hartman who is in Wash
ington, was informed of the use of
his name in connection with the Read
ing transactions and he then made a
statement through his secretary to the
effect that he was not interested in
Wall street and did not care TO be
denying all the rumors originating
there"
Further than this nothing official was
obtainable. The brokerage houses
handling the buying orders were nu-
merous and their identity gave no in
dication whatever as to the persons
for whom they were acting.
The trading in Reading reached the
extremely large total of 736.5OO shares
Or about one-third of all the transac-
tions on the stock exc, ,han~e for the
day

Mr.. Hartman discussed trdnsporta-

tariff MI. hartman said: 1 think
that the CuticLcy and tarff
questions sic uld be settled in a more
definite way before congress and the
present administration devote so much
precious the to regulating the rail-
roads. The interests of the country
demand that there should be some
notifications O. the tariff, but | fear
that the prospects for such legisla ton
is not very encouraging. The United
States will nct always enjoy the pros
perity that las prevailed during the
last decade Hard times will certainly
como again unless congress and the
people change their tactics toward the
railroads and corporate interests
AS an argument against the ten
dency for a wholesale reduction in
railroad rates, Mr.. Hartman called
attention to the increased cost of
everything that enters into the main
tenance Of railroads. Even money is
higher he said Than it has Decn at
any time in the last ten years. This
lis Just the same to the railroads as
if the cost of labor and material is
raised
Admitting that the railroads are to
a great extent responsible for the hos
tile movement that is now sweeping
over the entire country, Mr.. Harrl-
man said that the only way to solve
the problem was for the government
and the great corporate interests to
get into closer harmony and to try
to bring about a solution that will be
to the interests Of the government
and to the railroads as well.

TO SUPPORT NEGRO LABOR.
Plan by Which Louisiana Planters Can
Engage Immigrant Labor in Ad-
vance.

Baton Rouge, La, March Ga plan
which contemplates supplanting negro
plantation laborers of Louisiana which
state imported white immigrants from
Europe, was announced today by

greSs to be established here.

gran labor in advance and with a fixed
wage without violating the contract
labor law. By July 18th next every
planter desiring such labor is to de-
posit $3.50 for every family he wishes.

win repay the state for its expense
in bringing over the immigrants A
state employee win engage In Europe

ALABAMA GOES ON
 THE WATER WAGON
Wild Scenes in Senate Cham Der When Prohibition
 Bill Is Passed

MONTGOMERY, Ala, November 19. --Unprecedented scenes were enacted in the senate chamber of the capitol of Alabama today when the statutory prohibition bill was passed. Women and children thronged the corridors and galleries and even invaded the sanctity of the floor itself, pushing senators from their seats and giving vent to enthusi- asm by shouts and cheers that echoed through the building. The senators who opposed the bill were hissed down when they arose to speak against the measure.
 The statutory prohibition bill which passed was in the nature of com promise between the antis and the pro- hibitionists. The antis agree to give up the fight provided the time was ex- tended until January l, 1908, when the sale of whisky will be forbidden in the state. This amendment will be sent to the house and will be concurred in without fight. Governor Conner will approve the bill.
