BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. July 16-After the publ
cation of the bank statement on Satur-
day some large stock market operators
who for some months had held aioof frbm
the market were led to believe that
monetary conditions were not as bad as
has been represented. and accordingly
bought stocks on a moderate scale. Yes
terday during the first hour of trading.
they were naturally confident that they
had acted wisely in entering the market
again. but later in the day had as good
reason for regretting their action. Con-
servative interests were greatly dis
pleased to see the market bid up so rap
idly during the first hour, and expressed
the opinion that it would keep out the
very class of buyers which 1t is desired
to attract. rather than to induce them
to take stocks at this time. 1t is be-
iieved also that as a result of their ex-
perience yesterday the large operators
who thought it was time to buy stocks
VIII leave the market altogether alone
for some little time to come
An operator who has been a powerful fac
tor in the market speculatively from time
to time. and who on the big breaks last
spiiiIS WAS creQlteQ with making very large
profits. has told his friends within the last
tWenty-four hours that there is no question
about the cheapness Of nearly all the stocks
listed on the stock exchange, but that he
does not look for special activity in the
near future. He believes, however, that
stocks bought and paid for at about present
prices will yield a handsome profit in due
time. He does not believe that large specu-
latlve commitments should be made on
margin basis
1t Is understood that the earnings of the
principal lines in the Rock Island system
tor the current month thus far have been
even better than was expected by those in
control of the properties. The Rock Island
interests would not have been surprised If
the gross returns beginning with July had
SHOWN at least moderate falling off in
comparison with previous months of this
year. The estimated figures for the first
week Of July were highly satisfactory. very
substantial increases being shown on the
Rock Island proper, the Frisco and the
Chicago and Eastern Illinois. The Evans
vile and Terre Haute. which is not an i'm
portant factor in the system, reported a
small decrease in comparison with the cor
responding week Of last year.

EXCITE ES
ELDON
Charges and Counter
Charges Filed Against
Marshal Hale and Prin.
cipaI Fulton

Eldon, March 22.- Especial. - Eldon
is stlll IN a state of excitement over
the developments which have resulted
from the whipping by Prof A. S. Fui.
ton, principal of the Eldon schools,
OF Clyde Hale, the young son of sx-
Marshal W. r. Hale.
~ Yesterday afternoon, charges were
made against Hale at a Special hear
ing at which County Attorney Seneca
Cornell and Sheriff w. w. Jackson
were present, accusing him of assault
with intent to do great bodily injury
and requiring him to give a bond to
keep the peace
Yesterday charges were also made
against Prof. Fulton by Hale, accus-
ing him of assault with intent to do
great bodily injury, in beating the
child. @
Hale's trial comes up Saturday and
SO does Fulton's. In the meantime
the town Is divided into two factions
with probably the greater part of the
citizens supporting the teacher.
1t is said that the principal has two
methods of chastisement; one by a
whip and one by using rubber hose
which has a stick attached to one end
of it for a handle.
1t was this hose that the educator
used, it is alleged, when he whipped
young Hale.
Such club" says Mrs. Hale, tue
mother of the lad, "as the marshal
never carried to deal with the drunks
and roughs of the town.
However, County Attorney Cornell
stated yesterday that he had been in
formed that the school board has au-
thorized the use of the hose.
The latest development has been
the appointment of j. G. Nelson as
marshal. taking the place left vacant
by the resignation of Mr.. Hale.

The amendment was defeated.
The Reformatory Bill.
The 1ndeterminate sentence and re-
formatory bill passed by the senate
provides for the establishment at Ana
mosa of the reformatory branch of the
state penitentiaries. Men who are first
offenders and are not guilty of four of
the heinous crimes-murtler. rape In
cest and robbery in the night time
are to be sent there, when they are un-
derS thirty years Of Age. It was pro
posed to make the age twenty-five but
this was abandoned, by and with the
consent OF both the Fort Madison and
Anamosa people who are interested in
the bill. Past experience shows that
under the reformatory system about
half the convicts will go to each of the
institutions, as now.
The bill provides for this reforma-
tory at Anamosa; it also provides for
the establishment of the indetermi-
nate sentence in Iowa and creates a
board Of pardons and parole. Senator
Saunders demonstrated that lnder the
indeterminate sentence conv'cts serve
a longer average sentence than under
the hap-hazard system sentence used
In Iowa The establishment Of the
Ecald of pardons insures the admins
