NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Jan. 22.-The stock mar
ket showed stronger tone this morn
ing with shorts anxious buyers of St.
Paul, Reading, Union Pacific Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific and Copper.
The entire active list scored gains
ranging from one-half to one and one
half points advance with st. Paul and
Reading the particular strong features
The fears expressed Saturday around
the exchange to the effect that one or
two of the smaller concerns were in
financial difficulties seem to be I'M
founded as every house in the street
fulfilled their obligations at the close
last night. This was construed as an
extremely bullish factor on the general
stock market and induced considerable
short covering throughout the list
In the late afternoon a selling move
ment began which dissipated all the
early advances in the active stocks and
in fact had a tendency to weaken the
entire market St Paul broke from
1904 to 149; Union Pacific from 1854
to 175 and the other higher priced
shares eased off proportionately in
sympathy with these leaders in the
market.
me cali loan market continues very
easy, the ruling rate being about IN
per cent. II is a peculiar situation but
nevertheless true that when call money
becomes cheap, stocks decline and when
the rates are high, they advance. This
is accounted for in a measure by the
fact that Wall street invariably dis
counts the future in it's operations in
the stock market.
The market as a whole closed less
feverish than the past two days with
prices slightly lower than those ruling
at the close yesterday afternoon.

LONG DISTANCE 'PHONTNG

Experiments Witnessed by
German officials Voices Heard
Twenty-Five MIes-ProfessOr Prom
ises Even Better Service.

Berlin. Jan. 22.-Professor Slaby has
solved the question of talking by wire
less telephone.
His experiments have been complete
ly successful between Berlin and Nauen,
distance of twenty-five miles in
direct line, but the professor says the
possibilities of extending the distance
are almost limitless.
1T ought to be possible in the near
future" he states, ito telephone from
Berlin TO London. or from Berlin to
Constantinople. In course OF time we
ought to have communication between
Europe and America by means of a
wireless telephone system
such communication may, in fact, be
extended all over the world. It is, as
said. impossible to define the limits
of this invention"
Experiments were first carried out
between two buildings In Berlin, sepa-
rated from one another by a distance
of about three miles. The words tele-
phoned through the air without the aid
of wires were distinctly heard and
taken down at the other end Expert
ments were then carried out over the
longer distance of twenty-five miles
between Berlin and Nauen.

Help China.

New York Tribune, speaking of the
distress and starvation in China among
so many millions of people. says:
There is. indeed. a specific reason
why the whole commercial world, and
the United States no less than any
other nation, should intervene with
succor for the stricken millions of Chi
ma. That is, that the world has so long
regarded and treated China as a field
for profitable exploitation, and has, in
fact, derived enormous gains therefrom.
The very name OF Cathay has for gem
erations been suggestive of riches.
which every venturer thither might
secure. If only a fractional percentage
of the fortunes which have been taken
out of China were now given for char
ity, the flood and famine sufferers
would be saved and all their losses
might be recouped. There Is a certain
moral obligation resting upon the world
to care in its need for the country
which 1t has so often domineered in it's
prosperity. The work OF Chinese relief
in this country is in the hands of the
American Red Cross, a fact which gives
the strongest assurance that it will
be done with economy, discretion and
integrity

millers taking all the offers at a fair
advance over yesterdays prices. In
the speculative market there was
hesitancy apparent; even a few traders
were disposed to sell wheat for a re-
action in view of the continued ad-
vance we have had from 10 up to rs
cents. The market closed fairly steady
with a slight decline in the last half
an hour.
CORN-A strong broad market after
an early decline at the opening based
on more reasonable weather through
out the corn belt. One of the promi-
nent bulls who has been a conspicuous
buyer of corn for the past fortnight
was a free seller on the advance It
is thought he sold in the neighbor-
hood of a million bushels to realize
profits. but on the dip he appeared
again as a buyer. Shipping demand is
not very good principally on account
of the inability to procure the cars.
The market closed strong at the high
est prices reached so far on this bull
movement.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The extreme cold
weather hampered trade in produce
circles. Dealers who were in absolute
need of supplies were the only buyers
on the market and they were AFRAID
TO take any more than they actually
needed, for fear of having their pur
chases freeze before they arrived
home. The lower temperature, now
ever, was a helpful influence In the
egg market, as this brand or weaIner
would necessarily decrease the produc~
tion While the demand for consump-
ton Is increasing. Values held firm at
the recent decline.

WOULD DEFEAT
BOWSER'S BILL
East Chicago Council to Ap-
point Committee to Fight
Dockage Measure.
WANT PARK ON LAKE
Take Steps Looking Toward Pur-
chase of Tract Together With
Riparian Rights.

A special meeting Of the East Chi
cago council was called last night by
Mayor DeBraie for the purpose of tax
ing steps to purchase riparian rights
at certain places along the lake front
where the city may in the future i'm
prove the land and have a lake front
park like Hammond's.
An equally important matter was
the effort Of Alderman Lewis to have
the mayor appoint a committee to go
to Indianapolis and oppose the passage
of Senator Bowser's bill to permit cor
porations to fill in the lake to a depth
of twenty five feet.
In regard to the first matter Mayor
DeBraie stated that the railroads and
other corporations were fast securing
control Of all OF the available lake
frontage and soon 1t would be impossi-
BILE for the city to secure a breathing
spot with q beach to it If some action
was not taken at once.
Visit Lake Front I'm Body.
The council was appointed as a COM
mittee of the whole to visit the lake
front and determine where it would be
best to locate a park. An effort will
also be made by the members of this
Of all Of the land along the lake front
and with this information the selec-
ton of a suitable park site will be
easier.
Mayor DeBraie said that If the city
waited very much longer TO pick out
lake front park site it would be i'm
possible to secure the land for price
the city could afford to pay.
- HI
! Alderman Lewis stated his objections
clearly and concisely and seemed to
make good impression on his hearers.
Mr.. Lewis contention was that If the
state permitted corporations to fill in
the lake to a depth of twenty-five feet
and own in fee simple all the land that
they could make. it would be the con-
troll Of this important matter out OF
the hands Of the state and there might
be no limit to the invasions that corpo-
rations would make into the lake terri
tory.
Fiji Would Contaminate Water.
| He said that the intake of the pump.
ing station was not laid in near TWEEN
| ty-five feet of water and that If the
United States Steel corporation a
Gary was permitted to dump refus,
out into the lake at a greater distance
the water supply of the city would b.
contaminated. He said the corpora
tions would completely destroy th'
regularity Of the water line and that {
little city park stuck between two
ugly factory sites that projected int
the lake would not be much OF a pleas
ure ground.
The matter OF sending committed
to Indianapolis will be decided at th'
. next regular meeting.

"Tillman's Taking On. -

We have failed TO see any consolation
for Tillman In the newspapers over the
last outbreak. The Louisville Courier
Journal, under the head quoted, says:
If he really feels as deeply upon the
subject as his emotional outbursts, indi-
cate. he should retire to the Wilderness,
between sessions of congress. and work
off his emotion there instead Of letting
himself go In the senate every two
weeks to the detriment OF his per-
sonal dignity and that OF the South
which he attempts to represent when
he froths with rage and snorts about
a White Mans Country. The negro
problem is a serious and annoying one.

When Our Best Work Comes.

The best work that most of us do
is not begun in our offices or at our
desks, but when we are wandering in
the woods or sitting quietly with I'M

at such times there fash into out minds
those ideas that direct and control our
lives. visions of how to do that which
previously had seemed impossible. new
aspirations. hopes and desires. Work
In the process of realization. The care

Senator Guggenheim.

Teutonic Guggenheim may sound
strange to those prejudiced in favor of
the old American patronymics. But
what's in a name, as Dooley's Hogan
says? No quarrel can be had with the
high quality of Americanism flowing
from the lips of Simon Guggenheim.
the new and popular senator from Col
orada.
In accepting the place says the new
senator: I do so with the sole pur-
pose of rendering efficient and loyal
service to all the people"
The country will watch the career
of Senator Guggenheim with interest.
If he does all he says he viii try to do
he viii be glorious as an example.
Howbeit it may be suspected that. for a
time at least. he will be lonesome in the
senate-until he is able to educate his
colleagues up to his exalted conception.

WITH THE EDITORS.
Close of German Campaign.

In few days the people OF Germany
will elect the members of the next
reichstag. The seven weeks OF cam
paign IS nearly over, and there have
been no sensational developments, no
indications of striking change in
public sentiment. Electoral campaigns
are quiet in Germany as a rule, 1t is
true; first because party organization
IS weak, little money is used and the
victors get no spoils to distribute.
Still. when the people realize them
selves under the pressure of new is
sues and conditions, the effect Is in
evitably felt in the campaign in a num-
Der of different ways. All accounts
agree that no symptoms are any seri-
-ous realignment have been disclosed
during the canvass now closing.-In-

Crime of Vertical Writing.

1t IS probable that by this time the
man who invented vertical penmanship
for pupils in the public schools has
passed to his long punishment. Char

his crime compels the belief that he
can not be. The slow characterless.

CLEAN THE SIDEWALKS.

The city authorities have been criti-
cised on all sides because they have
not provided for the cleaning of snow
from the sidewalks in the business por-
ton of town.
The last snow Storm was followed by
warm weather which soon converted
the snow into slush and for two whole
days pedestrians were ompelled to
tramp through ankle deep water
soaked snow to go to and from their
work.
Even the little country towns down
state make provision for the removal of
snow from their sidewalks and it is
a reflection on the citizens OF Hammond
that they are compelled to trudge
through sloppy slush when walking
down the principal streets OF tho town.
There is city ordinance provid-
ing for such emergencies and during
Mayor Knots administration it will
be remembered that this ordinance was
put into effect, much to the relief of
the Iong-sufrering public.
1t may be necessary for Hammond
to again go through a period of this
kind In order to thoroughly appreciate
relief when it does come, but the peo-
pie do not think SO.
1t might be rather an expensive
thing for the city to clean the streets
of snow, they do in the large cities.
but it does seem as though the side
walks in the business district at least,
should receive the attention of the
street cleaning department.
1t might be said in this connection
that the fault seems to lie with the
executive rather than the administra-
tive department of the city govern
ment for the work of the street clean
ing department, in what 1t has under
taken TO do, is commendable.
Advantage has been taken of every
warm spell to run the brick pavements
with the sweeper so that there will not
be an accumulation OF dirt there when
the final thaw comes in the spring, and
in addition to this the cross-walks
have all been put in passable condi-
ton.
It appears that all that is required
from the city executive is the order to
go ahead and the street cleaning de-
partment will do the rest.
