Benjamin Woodruff, OF Post & Flagg-
To-day marked the retribution of the
bull interests and the partia, retreat of
the bear party. The market opened

cancellation of certificates. While the
incident helped sentiment immensely. il
also made call money higher. and near
the close il advanced as high as "A per

until after the publication Of the bank
statement tomorrow. which should make
favorable showing, but / am inclined
10 ADVISE our friends TO start taking
profits before its publication. If the pres
ent upward movement continues. l pre-
dict that the banks will call in further
loans and money may be tight again"
George L. Edmunds. Of Miller & Co
"To-day's market speaks for itself with
out comment. The general short interest
IS very large. but the invisible short
interest, with which the street is more
familiar than outsiders, must be heavy

TO PREVENT OFFICIAL THIEvING.

II REPRESENTATIVE KEENAN, has intro.
N duced in the Legislature bill to prevent
extortion and over-charges by public officials
1t is notorious fact that there are some offciSS
who make a practice Of overcharging whenever
they think it can be done without detection. This
imposition is usually upon the poor and ignorant
and unsuspecting people. 1t is kind Of rob
berry under cloak of the law, which is far more
culpabe than the act of the ordinary thief or
burglar, and as it is always done knowingly and
with dishonest purpose, there is in Our judy
ment, for such criminals punishment too Sc
we're. A public official who would deliberately
make poor man or unsuspectng woman pay
more than the legal fee for an official service,
should not be permitted to hold any position of
honor or trust any longer than it be possible
the law to force him out There have been SO
many complaints of official extortion and over
charges that the only remedy available appears
to be such measure as is now in the Legislature.
There will probably be some opposition to the
BILL but it is not likely to come from any official
who has dealt honestly in the past or expects to
do so in the future with the people having bus
mess with his office.

1t is not to be an "Adamless Eden" OF a

It is said the Delaware Water Company has
introduced a bill in the Legislature that proposes
to so amend the corporation law as to enable the
Pennsylvania or other railroad company or its
agents to lay water pipes in and through VIII
mington. The scheme is to enable private
water company to compete with our city in the
supply Of water within the city limits. If that
bill should be passed it will deprive Wilmington
of $4,000 annual revenue. The bill should be
killed by the Legislature, and the matter as to
whether a private enterprise shall be permitted
to compete with one of our revenue raising de-
partments should be left entirely to our city.

LOST FORTUNE ON RACES.
John w. Gates is Two Million Loser
Trying to Beat Game.

Trying TO Beat Tame.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-"John w.
Gates has lost 100000 at the
racing game, and there is no man
who can beat it. A man is come
on to try it,
This declaration today by c. E.
Durnell, the noted turfman and bet
ting agent for John w. Gates, gives
official confirmation to the stories of
the millionaire's losses at the race
track. 1t also shows why Mr.. Gates
has decided to quit horse racing.
Everybody who ever looked up the
past performances" of horse
knows Boots Durnell 1t is seldom
that he has anything TO say, and
therefore his declaration about the
100000 losses of Mr.. Gates and
the futility of trying to beat the
races" carry great weight. This is
his warning:
"As general proposition, no one
can beat the races. Mr.. Gates has
been betting heavily since Mr. Drake
won the futurity with Sayable. He
lost 100000 when Gold Lady beat
Yankee Girl. The heaviest loss he
had was at Saratoga two years ago
when they got 1922, 900 of his money
on what looked like good betting
propositions
This year Mr.. Gates had the best
information that could be given to :
man. He knew what was going OF
all the time in preparation of horses
for stakes, yet he quit $4,000 be
hind the season.
