SPfCUlATORS CONTENT
TO HOLD THINGS LEVEL
All Efforts Confined to Arrestin, the
Lowering Tendency.

New York. July 23.-There was de-
veloped in the stock market today a
mild opposition to the declining ten
dency which seemed satisfied TO ar
rest the tendency without making any
attempt to push prices upward. The
result was a dull market The only
active trading was in a half dozen
stocks and the prices of these vibrated
within narrow range. The large
earnings of the Southern Pacific last
year disclosed by the official estimates
given out last week. gave a basis for
rumors that the dividend rate would
be raised next month from the present
five per cent. No authoritative infor-
nation was forthcoming.
The strength shown by Atchison was
attributed to. the expectation that the
annual report to be published on
Thursday will show earnings very
largely in excess of the present dis
bursements and dividends. There was
continuance also of the sharp weak
ness in steel which was a material
feature in disturbing the market Buy
ers of stocks prOfessed confidence
that the strike of the miners in the
Lake Superior region would be bound
to benefit the corporation. L. 6 Is

THEY OWED THEIR LIVES
TO 1OCOOfHFADfDfORfMAN
Forty laborers in New York Sewer
Barely Escaped Death in the Tube.

New York. July 23.-Forty laborers
ran. swan and fought for their lives
when the new sewer in West 46th
street was flooded tonight. But for
the coOlness Of the foreman. Ben Con-
nors. all would have peE5ehed. The
men were working in a tube which is
eight feet in diameter and forty feet
below the surface.
Suddenly a break occurred in the
old sewer above them and the escap-
ing water poured into the open end of
the tube. The only exit was at the
opposite end where an air shaft led
to the surface. A moment after the
stream first trickled into the tube the
flood came and when the men turned
to run. the water was at their knees
and rapidly rising.
The men. panic stricken. ran for the
shaft and fell over each other. When
half way to the shaft the water was
at their waists. Screaming and fight
ing the men wedged themselves into
n helpless mass. Then Connors. who
led the way to the shaft. took a hand
and swinging an ugly club. threatened
to brain every man IL he did not obey
him. Then he ordered them form four
abreast and march. Some marched
but more swan. As the water reached
the necks of the taller. those of less
er height had been swept from their
feet. One by one they gained the
shaft and climbed the ladder to the
street Connors was the last to leave
the sewer and when he did he rose
from six feet of water.

Ihe Astounding Eleventh Hour Theory of
Attorney Richardson
AT the Last Moment He Abandoned the Notion That
Orchards Crime Was Inspired by Revenge Against
the Governor.

Boise, Ida. July 23.-Forsaking the
theory of Vengeance as Orchards mo-
tive for the murder of Steunenberg.
Attorney Richardson for the defense
of Haywood. tonight argued that Or
chard was in the employ of the Pin
kerton detective agency when he kill
ed Steunenberg and that the murder
was a part of the conspiracy to hang
Haywood.
This sudden departure was followed
by tremendous denunciatfon of Cap

Senator BOrah and Governor Peabory-
OF Colorado. and in fact of all who act

Haywood came in for a share of the
