ease. and interest rates on time loans have
been materially reduced, the rates asked

The increased supply of funds has af-
fected the market for commercial paper

that this repienishment of funds Is at the

The constant issue of notes by railroad
companies to supply resources for this work
is accepted as evidence of its urgency and
the difficulty of. securing capital by sale of

with which these note issues find a sale

NEW YORK. January 26.-The stock
market was subjected to severe pressure

yesterdays decline. forced level generally
lower than that of the low level of Friday
of last week. The mystery of the sources
and the motives of the selling increased its
effect on speculative sentiment The ten

time disclosed that short selling by bears
was holding a share in the responsibility
for the weakness.
The most pronounced Of these rallies
came after the appearance of the bank

showing of the banks. Only $3,246.4oO of
the expected s5.OOOOO0 cash gain appeared.

Result Of Liquidation.

On the other hand, such a course Of
liquidation as that of last week removes
from the market a large number of vulner-
able speculative accounts. 1t is the gen.
eral supposticn that the reduction of these
accounts was made in accordance with the
desire of lenders of money, which had
been lent in ma:Iy cases with the stipu-
lation that the relaxation in the money
market following the turn of the year
would be chosen as the period for liqudat-
Ing the accounts. The relaxation of the
money failed to stimulate any such general
demand for stocks as had been looked for
and the liquidation broke the market How
far this result was helped by aggressive
measures by tine bear party with the pur-
pose of forcing out vulnerable speculative
holdings is a further subject of varied con-
lecture.
Underlying the hesitating tone of the
stock market is the doubt over the future
course OF the industries of the country from

The stock market has righted itself this
week from the stress of the urgent liguida-
ton that disturbed it last week, and has
made some moderate recovery. There has
been a progressive Shrinkage in the activity
of the dealings and a sluggish and hest
tating movement of prices, which argued
an uncertain state of speculative sentiment
and an attitude on the part of operators
of waiting for a new initiative in the course
of prices. Opinions have been mixed over
the probable future course of the market

agreement. Large buying which served to
arrest the decline was attributed to bank
Ing interests reinforced by the demand
from uncovered shorts when the downward
course of the market was seen to be check
ed. The after effect of such buying usually
is to weaken the technical condition of the
market. The covering of shorts removes a
reserve force of demand, and buying of
stocks by large interests merely for the
purpose os supporting prices and to pro-
tect margins and collateral is commonly
followed by resale of much of the hold
ings thus acquired at thu first opportunity.

ourselves that we rank among the

the state has not been invoked to per-

its own efficiency and to extend re-

AF Ter THE UINTAH
AND ASPHALT TRUST
A CASE OF DIRECT INTEREST To GRAND JUNCTION
FILED WITH THE INTERSTATE COM
MERGE COMMISSION
ARE CHARGING HOLD.Up RATES
is THE CLAIM MADE AGAINST THE LITTLE LINE FROM
DRAGON TO MACK

WASHINGTON, April 23.-(Spec.
iaD-An interesting complaint direct
ed against the so-calIed asphalt trust
was filed yesterday with the inter-
state commerce commission. The tit
lie is the American Asphalt associa-
ton against the Uintah Railway COM
pany.
The complainant Is n corporation
under the laws of the state of Missou-
ri, and is engaged in the mining and
shipment of gilsonite from Utah, and
the conversion of gilsonite into as
phaltum. The defendant operates
n railroad line between the towns of
Dragon, Utah and Mack Colorado, 81
miles.
The ellison Asphaltum company,
controlled by the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing company, according to the petit
tion, operates gilsonite mines in COM
petition with the complainant near
Dragon. 1t is alleged that the rail-
road company, the ellison company
and the Barber Asphalt Paving COM
pany are all corporations subsidiary
to the General Asphalt company, COM
monty known as the asphalt trust,
and are controlled and managed by
the trust.
The complainant says IL is charged
so cents per hundred pounds by the
railroad company for transportation
from Dragon TO Mack, or a rate of
$3.50 per car, although the railroad

odnI'anS transports livestock be-
tween the same points at the rate OF
S25 per car and commodities gener.
ally at like low rates.
1t is claimed that the tariffs filed
with the commission by the railroad
are not observed and that the com.
plainant is subjected to excessive
charges, discrimination and injustice.
The complainant is compelled to pay
% cents each for the loading of cars
and so cents for team for hauling its
product over n highway controlled by
the defendant, thus necessarily in.
creasing the price of its product about
30 cents per ton.
Complainant does not know what
the railroad charges the ellison COM
pany, but says that il would make no
difference what the charge might be
as, being controlled by the asphalt
trust, IL simply would be taking mon
ey out of one pocket and putting IL
in another. IL is alleged also that
the railroad furnished free transport
tation TO the officials of competing
companies.
The commission Is asked to adjust
the charges of the railroad company
on an equal basis, and 10 give the
complainant 900 damages and to
issue orders to prevent continu-
ancc of the discrimination against
the complainant.

It is reported on very reliable au-

months ago. was severely hurt last
night near DeBeque as a result of
rough treatment from the hands of
members of a freight train crew.
1t seems that the man, whose name
cannot be learned, had transportation
over the Colorado Midland road but
at this point boarded-a Denver and
Rio Grande freight train, thinking
the transportation good on that train.
II is said that he showed his trans
portatlon but 1t was turned down by
some member of the crew and after.
it Is reported brutally talked to the
injured man, members of the crew
pushed the man from the train at n
point near DeBeque. The mans foot
was caught under one of the wheels
and several of his toes cut OF. The
man was brought to this city last
night and It is reported he was taken
to st. Mary's hospital but those In
charge there declare that he is not
there.
The first reports of the affair came
from railroad men.

This morning Under Sheriff G. II.
Wallis received telegram from Moab
Utah, to arrest "BlIl" Young and son
Glare, charged with the murder of
Charles Wilkinson, said to be a min
ing man, the murder occurred at
Paradox, in the Paradox valley, some
time yesterday afternoon. The tele-
gram stated that the elder Young is
crippled in the left arm and his son
has a noticeable scar on the face,
Roth are light Completed.
Details of the murder have not yet
been received by Sentinel but from re-
liable sources indicate that the crime
was especially foul. 1t is said that
Williams and his son had some petty
quarrel with Wilkinson and then shot
him to death.
1t is believed by the Moab officers
that the Youngs are headed for the
ranch of brother of the elder Young
on the Dolores river.
Officers throughout this section
of the state and in eastern Utah have
been put on their guard and It is be-
lieved that as the murderers have
had only a brief start that they will
be run to ground soon.
The telegram received this morn
ing at the sherlff's office was from
Deputy Sheriff Colbert of Montrose
county who was at Moab when he
wired.
The murder evidently occurred In
wild section of the Paradox min
ing country. The Paradox is about
seventy-five miles from Grand juno
ton and is one of the neighboring
undeveloped mining sections. The
murder evidently occurred in Mont
rose county, as Paradox valley is
partially in that county.
Close watch is being kept by the
sheriff's office and the city officers
for the alleged murderers.
