A VANISHING OE PRICES
ON THE STOCK MALKET
The Prostitution Was Unaeeompaniec
by Any Excitement Among speeula-
tors.

New York, May IA combination
of urgent liquidation and an almost
utter prostration of demand for secur-
tiles accounted for the melting away Of
prices in the stock market today. a
striking feature of the days movement
was the lack of excitement in trading
and an absence of feVerishness in
fluctuations. The extent of declines
gave rise to uneasiness and an appre-
hension that damage would result. but
the mood of speculation was rather
one of quiet looking on than any
marked perturbation manifested in
unusual ways. The liquidation came

increase the assessment of the mining
company, though it was held that in

IN his hand. He said Mrs Fred j.

against the piano company to recover

Commercial Club Wants Pau|y to
Pull for Hatchery
FAVOR DAM ON THE SNAKE RIVER
BUT ONLY ON CONDITION THAT
WORK DOES NOT INTERFERE
WITH NAVIGATION.

Only upon the condition that it will
not interfere with navigation will the
plan to dam Snake river at the Five
Mile rapids receive the approval of
the Commercial club of Walla Walla.
The matter was brought up at the
directors meeting last night under
discussion of the telegram from Sen
atOr Ankeny asking for the Walla Wal
la club to assist in overcoming the
opposition of the Lewiston club which
was blocking the passage of the bill
in the senate.
The directors instructed the secretary
Of the club to telegraph to Mr.. An
keny explaining that this club only
favored the dam on condition that it
was constructed under direction of the
war department and would not inter-
fere with navigation.
Don't Give Up Fight.
The directors of the club do not pro-
pose that the bill for a fish hatchery
help it. Secretary Moore was instruct
ed to telegraph Senator Pauly to WORK
for its passage. The bill was practi-
cally killed by the report Of the fish
commissioner that he could stock the
streams of the state from the hatcher
les already in operation.
A request from the Spokane cham
Der Of commerce asking the local club
to boost for an increased apprOpria-
ton for the state college at Pullman
was referred to the legislative COM
mittee of the club.
