Mr.. Austin Dobson has been publishing IN a

"A Pleasant Invective Against Printing" Here
is his cheerful opinion of the newspapers OF mis-

The Press is too much with small and great;
We are undone Of chatter and on dft

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Nothing OF consequence occurred at to-
days meeting of the stock exchange in re-
lation to the street railway securities that
indicated any change In the situation.
Capital Traction stock was perhaps ne
elected more than usual. as 1t was offered
at a lower figure then ever before. and no
support was given it from the usual source.
One lot sold for 1904. 1t was supposed
the rights to subscribe for the new issue
of per cent bonds would be dealt In to-
day. but that was not done. One Of the
brokers, however, made bid OF 1O2 for the
bonds, which is a lower figure than has
been estimated would be bid for these
bonds.
1t is the opinion of some that after awhile
when the condition Of the market improves.
these bonds will sell for at least 115 1t Is
thought likely a good many stockholders
VIII be unable to get the money to take the
bonds at this time. and, in consequence, the
siderable extent.
The Washington Railway securities were
also neglected with the exception Of some
buying Of fractional lots of the preferred
stock at so ard slightly above. One thou
sand shares or any part were offered by
the principal broker in the stock at 19A. At
the close the stock was to be had at ~;
after all sales were made at 19A.
There is nothing specially new in the cur
rent talk about the coming reorga nfzation
of the company when the stockholders get
a chance to vote. Mr.. Loeb's name is still
mentioned in connection with the presidency
of the company, and 1t is also thought in
some quarters that Mr.. Frederick c. Stevens
will be a potent influence in the company.
Gas stock continued to be a feature of
Importance in the trading, and that arose
from the advance made In the figures
rather than from the volume Of the trad
ing. In fact, the latter was rather light,
as 1t was confined to one lot and a couple
of options, but the prices paid in those In
stances were distinguished for marking the
highest point yet reached in the upward
movement of this stock which has been In
progress for some weeks past.
On Saturday this stock sold for 6l12,
while today it sold for g., and options for
62h and 62A. At the close the bid was 6l12
and the asking price g.
When the stock was called one of the
brokers who has the reputation of knowing
what is going on in the local financial
world remarked that it had been said in
regard to this stock that it was going to So
and another broker supplemented this by
observing his information was that 1T was
going to %.
1t was noted that in neither case did they
assume to give any original information on
the subject but merely repeated what was
current talk.
The first-named broker also did not be-
come buyer of the stock.
Mitchell mining stock was not in as great
demand today as it was Saturday, when
the bid rose to and stayed there. Today
the stock was for sale at that figure and
no one wanted it enough to get any nearer
the asking price than to bid "A Nothing

EAGLE FAR OUT AT SEA.
Rests for 100 Miles on Masts Of the
Ship Columbia.

The Anchor liner Columbia. in yesterday
from Glasgow, passed on Wednesday off
the banks a gas buoy alight. with siren at

nacles and apparently had been soome time
adrift, but the siren was in order and was
shrieking weirdly. This is the same buoy
that the Scandinavian American liner Tiet-

side an iceberg.

lit on the fore truck of the Columbia. The
day was mild and most Of the passengers

No effort was made to capture the bird.

the fore to the main truck and perched
there. preening itself as calmly as If 1t

1t closely until dusk. when it spread its
broad wings and headed for the Yankee
coast. The ship had helped it along more
than a hundred miles.

DIES OF INJURIES.
Aged Man, Claiming Washington as
Home. Victim of Ill Treatment.

The stringent laws against "shanghaiing''
men and compelling them to work against
their wills on oyster vessels have not pre-
vented the continuance of the brutal prac-
tice, 1T is said. and word comes from Phila-
delphia that the attention of the federal
authorities here has been called to IT,
The case in point is that of John Brough-
ton. a man sixty-four years old. who died
Friday in the German Hospital in Phila-
delphia
The aged man Is said to be the victim OF
cruel treatment That he was thrown
ashore near Leipsic, DEL from an oyster
boat. He was found wandering about with
a deep wound on his head. and was taken
to Philadelphia and placed in the German
Hospital
BrOughton said before his death that his
home was in Washington. but his name

GOTHAM NEEDS suBHAYs.
Ten Required in Next Ten Years, Says
Rapid Transit Engineer.

NEW YORK, April 29.-"In order to bring
about discontinuance of the notorious
overcrowding and indecent conditions now
prevailing on all transportation lines In
the city 1t is imperative that ten four-track
subways, with facilities for the operation of
ten-car trains. be provided for Manhattan.
Brooklyn and the Bronx within the next
ten years.
With this warning George 8. Rice. chief
engineer OF the rapid transit commission.
concludes a long analysis Of the transpor-
tation problems in New York city. made
public yesterday He bases his demand for
the immediate construction OF more sub
ways upon the extraordinary increase In
the demands on transportation facilities
since consolidation.
Mr.. Rice points out that on many lines
in several Of the boroughs the increase has
jumped at the rate of more than 100 per
cent in the last two or three years. and
that while the average increase year prior
to 1905 was 100000, last year the In
crease in passengers carried on all local
lines rose to 100000. Mr.. Rice says he Is
satisfied that by 1916 the present traffic
will have doubled in all parts Of the city.
and some of the undeveloped sections. nota-
bly, in Queens and Richmond and paris OF
the Bronx, the increase will be more than
doubled.
In Manhattan and the Bronx last year
the increase was Al per cent, with 35S3 rides
lines credited to each inhabitant Of the two
boroughs. In Brooklyn 27S rides to each in
habitant were recorded last year. Mr. Rice
declared that in Queens borough alone are
adequate facilities being made to meet the
demands Of the next ten or fifteen years,
with its four Pennsylvania and two Bel
mont tunnels under the East river and the
Blackwells Island bridge. with four trolley
and two elevated railway tracks.
AS to conditions in Manhattan. the report
says that during the last five years trafhc
on the elevated and subway lines, CLASSIFIED
as "long-haul' traffic, has Increased lbs per
cent, the number Of long distance rides be
ing 81 per inhabitant during 1904 and l64
per inhabitant in 1906
Mr. Rice says that with a total trafic
Of S1S273, Alb passengers in Manhattan and
the Bronx last year the total will undoubt-
erly reach 1, 153, 100000 year by 1911 and
,626, OOO. 600 year in ten years.
The urgency of immediate action to meet
this increase, he says. is apparent when 1t
is understood that the capacity OF the pres
ent subway and elevated roads is not more
than 100000 600
