though opinions differed as to whether
or not this would go further. Those who
contended that it was practically COM
pleted pointed 10 the rally at the close as
evidence to sustain their argument. al
though there did not seem TO be any
thing about this rally to make ii certain
that it represented more than the short
covering that might naturally be expect

When the slowing down OF the selling
movement gave brokers time to take a
view of the situation, they began to
recognize some points Of strength, nota-

more and Ohio also were well taken
care of.

The break in Southern Railway unset
tied the whole market. For time the
weakness was confined TO the stock con-
trOlled by one banking interest, but these
formed such an important group that Il
was impossible that they could continue
to decline without exerting a sympathetic
effect on the whole list. and so prices
gave way all round the volume of selling
increasing as quotations declined. Many
of the individual transactions were very
large and for the first time in weeks be-
came what the traders called a big mems s

The traders busted themselves during

the selling what interests had been forced

certain speculative operators who had for

NO ADAM IN THIS FAIR EcEN

A large colony of women is to be
established in Texas, under the
direction of Mrs. Mary f. Hayden,
of Chicago. 1t is stated that she
has closed a deal for the purchase
of tract of 1900 acres of rich
land situated adjacent to the Gulf
coast. This land will be divided
into small tracts aud apportioned
among the women colonists who
are to live there. The women are
to control absolutely all of the
industries of the colony. They
will own the property jointly, and
in many respects business will be
conducted on the co operative
plan. The colonists will devote
their energies principally to truck
farming, fruit raising, bee keeping,
dairping and poultry raising. The
object locating in this section is
that outdoor work may be carried
on during the whole year.

He held McNally to account for the
loss of his position, declaring he was
discharged on account of information

the superintendent, who said that not

that it was through the intercession
of the engineer that the Waterman
was later re-employed. The super

QUICK ACTION TAKEN
BY BAILEY'S FRIENDS
Refuse to Wait for Report Of
Investigating Committee.
THE SENATOR IS ExoNERATED
Before Report lie Made--Texas Senate
by Vots of IS to II, Discharges the
Investigating Committee and De-
clares Senator Not Guilty.

clares Senator Not Guilty.
Austin, Tex. Feb. 26.-The SEN
ate Monday by vote of 10 to IL,
adopted q resolution dismissing the
Bailey investigating committee before
the committee could prepare report.
The resolution adopted exonerates
Senator Bailey in every particular.
At IL o'clock the nti-Bailey fol-
lowing offered a resolution instruct
ing the committe not to bring in
report at this time, but to send a
subcommittee to ST. Louis to secure
the testimony of H. Clay Pierce, of
the Waters Pierce Oil company, and
to embody such evidence in its final
report.
Adherents of Sen. Bailey prompt
" offered a substitute that the In
vestigating committee be discharged
at once without making report, and
that Senator Bailey be fully endors-
ed. After a rather heated debate the
substitute resolution was passed by a
vote OF Is to II.
Mr.. Bailey's friends contended that
every member of the legislature, as
well as the general public, was fully
acquainted with all details of the ev-
idence before the committee by rea-
son of it's publicity in the daily press
OF the country, and members of the
senate could vote now on the ques-
ton with intelligence.
The most sensational feature of the
debate was when Senator Senter an
nounced that he proposed introduc-
ing q resolution demanding, the dis
barment of J. D. Johnson, of st.
Louis, attorney for the Waters Pierce
and Standard Oil companies, from
praotioing in the courts Of the state.
Judge Johnson, he declared, had ad-
mitted that he was in a conspiracy to
make false affidavit.
'Tf no action is taken in regard
to this infamous DEAL" declared Sen
ator Senter, 81 shall offer measure
to forever exclude the Waters Pierce
Oil company from Texas and another
to exclude J. D. Johnson from the
courts of this state, as hts very pres
snce is an insult to the sacred ermine
of the judiciary"
Senator Senter also urged that Sen
ator Bailey should testify further re-
garding his dealings with the Stand
ard OIL company and the Frisco rail-
| road before the investigation should
be closed. Senator Senter desired
especially that Bailey explain upon
what did he predicate his opinion that
| the Standard Oil company was a
trust. AS to the Frisco railroad, he
desired that Senator Bailey say how
he had voted upon measures in con-
gress concerning that road and tc
explain his relation to any measure
now pending.
The Bailey matter comes up in che
house later and heated debate Il
anticipated.
