BROKERS ARE NERVOUS
SEVERAL THINGS HELPED TO
CAUSE SLUMP IN PRICES.

NEW YORK, October 17.-Under the
United Copper Company and the failure
Of Gross & Kleeberg, added to the gen.
orally pessimistic sentiment that has pre-
vailed for weeks past. the stock market
today opened nervous and soon devel-
oped a weak, reactionary tone. Southern
Pacific and the copper shares were de-
cidedly weak and there was heavy selling
of the United States Steel stocks. The
consequence was a break in some issues
through the lowest prices touched yester-
minutes of trading sold down to 1163s,
Amalgamated Copper to 4Sss. Reading to
S62. ST. P&ul to 112A and Northern Pa
cific to 116.
Sentiment was further unsettled by
news of the failure Of Haller, Sohle &
Coz, an old banking house of Hamburg
Germany, with liabilities of from So 800, =
600 to $4,00O.0OO. This firm did a large
business with European industrial con-
Germs.
Toward II o'clock there was a rally in
the market and a somewhat more cheer
full feeling prevailed among the brokers,
acted better in the first hour than might
have been expected. 1t was said also that
all of the weak points in the banking
situation had been taken care Of and that
the individual necessities of one very
prominent capitalist had been supplied.
The total sales of stocks in the first
hour were 1893, $50 shares.

PAN-AMERICAN PROGRESS.
Address by Director Barrett in New
York Last Night.

NEW YORK, October 17.-John Barrett
director of the International bureau of
American republics. in an address here
said of the coming conference of the Gen.
tral American republics in Washington:
"The conference Will be one of the most
important international gatherings that
has ever assembled in North America If
it results in a treaty which will bring
permanent peace to that important sec
ton of the American continent new era
will be inaugurated in the history of pan
American unity and progress. While it is
not possible for me to discuss the political
phases OF the conference or the different
questions which are to be considered, I
am at liberty to comment upon what is at
stake in the commercial and material de-
velopment of Central America.
These Central American republics
possess q wealth of agricultural products
mineral resources and timber that will in
vite the investment OF great sums of
American and European capital: railroads
will be built in all directions: new towns
will spring up; immigration will pour
into them from different parts of the
world, and steamship connections with
the United States. Europe and South
America will be increased and improved
providing the Washington conference has
a successful issue.
1T Is a safe prediction that II all the
countries sign a convention that has the
moral support OF both the United States
and Mexico, not only the United States
but all the world will be surprised by the
tional social and general development of
the Central American states"

for membership. The rules require a
member to have been a commissioned Of
ficer in the army or navy. Cases were
cited of men who had been appointed,
but whose appointments had not been
confirmed by Congress, and who were
barred from membership on this account,
and it was held that this disbarment is
unjust. -----a-~
The matter was referred to the congress
OF the order, which alone has power to
change the rules.

STORY OF THE WIRELESS.
Marconi Sent First Message, 1873
Miles, in 1901.

NEW YORK. October 17.-It was on
January 25, 1901, that Signor Marconi
established wireless communication be-
tween st. GATHERINGS. on the Isle Of
Wight, and the Lizard, in Cornwall, a
distance Of 1873 miles, thus proving the
principle Of the non-interference of the
curvature Of the earth, which had been
anticipated by many scientific men who
had Investigated the newly discovered
principle of wireless telegraphy. These
results justified Marconi in recommend
Ing the erection of a high-power sta
ton, with the object of telegraphing
wirelessly across the Atlantic. Such a
station was erected at Poldhu, in Corn
wall, and on December II, 1901, the
first clear and Ineligible signals sent
across the Atlantic were received from
Poldhu at temporary station near
ST. Johns Newfoundland.
In July, August and September Of 1902
Marconi, at the invitation of the Italian
government, ade cruise in the war
ship Carlo Alberto, and during the voy-
age carried out important tests in wire
ments messages transmitted from PoIdhu
were received across land and water %
nearly as far as Kronstadt in the Gulf
of Finland, Russia, distance Of 1.4O0
miles: ~ at G1OralIar across tne WQOie OF
Spain, over a distance of 1000 miles, and
(3) in the Mediterranean off the coast of
Corsica, over a distance of 600 miles, al
though the whole of France and part of
the Alps intervened between the two sta
tions. Messages in nearly all positions
and places visited by the cruiser were re-
ceived either on Marconi's receiver, work
ing a tape instrument, or by means OF
his magnetic receiver.
AS result Of the success Of these tests,
the Italian minister of marine at the re-
quest of the King Of Italy. issued orders
that the Carlo Alberto should be placed at
Marconis disposal for the purpose of as
sisting him in the establishment Of COM
munication between Canada and England.
On the Goth Of October, 1902. the Carlo
Alberto left Plymouth and sailed for sgd
ney, Nova Scotia and messages were re-
ceived from Poldhu throughout the voy-
age to Sydney, a distance Of 2. 800 miles.
After'a few weeks preliminary work at
the station which had been erected at
Glace bay, N. S., message was trans
mitted on December 16. 1902. to London.
Marconi then proceeded to his other high
power station. which had been erected at
Cape Cod, and early in January, 1908,
sent a complete wireless telegram across
to PoIdhu from the President to the King
Of ENGLAND.

BABY-RA1s1NG CONTEST.
Michigan Women's Clubs in Novel
Pennant Race.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, October 17.-What
woman's club in Michigan will win the
proud distinction Of mothering the most
babies in the next year?
This is the great question that was dis
cussed last night at the meeting Of the
State Federation Of Women's Clubs at
Flint. And this is how 1t all came about:
At the meeting last evening the secre-
tary in her official report awarded to the
Portland Literary Club at Flint the tow
ering honor of the championship birth
record of the state. Sixty-four women
compose the club, and in the last year
eight became mothers.
The presidents of half dozen clubs
challenged the cortland club to enter a
baby raising contest for the next year. 1t
was accepted instantly. The members of
the Portland club say that in a years
time they will come to the fore not with
eight babies, but dozen or more. The
others OF this great pennant race say
they will surpass even record Of twelve.

MAY CLOSE UNION IRON WORKS
Charles M. Schwab Now on an In
spection Tour,

SAN FRANCISCO. October 17.-Charles
NJ. Schwab. former president OF the
United States Steeel Corporation, arrived
in this city yesterday. When asked IL he
came at the instigation of the government
to arrange for the care Of the big fleet
in December. he said he was not at liberty
to discuss the situation. He said:
II am here to determine whether I shall
continue to operate the Union iron works
or to close them down for good. There Is
no truth in the statements that sale
of the works to the government Is con-
templated.
1--WE have lost money continually during
the three years we have owned the plant
On. the last contracts for three warships
we lost 81. 100000. We have been hamper
ed by a scarcity Of labor and by indus
trial troubles. I intend to go over the
situation carefully and II decide to keep
the works open they will require consid-
cradle additions. The plant at Mare Island
is insufficient for the maintenance of the
fleet"
Mr.. Schwab thought feet on the Pa
cific was a necessity. as this coast was as
much in need of protection as the At
lantic. Concerning his investments in
Nevada mines. he said he was greatly
disappointed In that country, although
most of his own investments had proved
satisfactory.
