DOLAN DEAL RESPONSIBLE
FOR UNITED GAS DECLINE.
Price of Shares Drops to rs, the Lowest
in Years, as Result of Brady Testi-
mony Involving Philadelphian.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.-There
was a serious break in the price of
United Gas Improvement Company
shares on the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change today. Opening at so, the price
steadily declined to 70, the lowest in
years. Here there was a slight rally
and at noon 76 was bid for the stock.
Ths stock has been declining since
the publication of the testimony of
Anthony N. Brady before the Public
Service Commission, Investigating trac-
ton affairs in New York city, mention
ing Thomas Dolan, among others, as
being concerned in a deal whereby a
street railway was sold to the Metro
politan Street Railway Company at a
largely inflated price.
On Monday the stock sold at 84ss and
today's low price, therefore, indicates
a decline of 9ss points.
Mr.. Dolan is president and the guild
ing spirit of the United Gas Improve
ment Company. He has denied that
there was anything wrong in the deal
which Mr.. Brady testified about, and
states that the payment to him, by Mr..
Whitney, of $111,000. represented the
cancellation Of loan and not a dividing
of profit on the sale of the franchise.
notwithstanding the denials, brokers
and others interested in the stock claim
that the selling Is due to the mention
of Mr. Dolans name in connection
with the New York Traction exposure.
Other stocks dealt in on the exchange
were sympathetically affected by the
weakness of United States, notably
Philadelphia Rapid Transit, which sold
below II, compared with a recent high
price of 22A,, and Lehigh Navigation
which has fallen 81 a share in the last
few days. Cambria Steel fell to new
low record of 26. decline of 3A since
Monday.

ture; George w. r. Gaunt, of the state

commissioners recently appointed by
Governor Stokes in accordance with
joint resolution passed by the last Leg
islature for the purpose of having the
subject OF stock raising investigated
met at the office of Franklin Dye, In
the State House.
Senator Frelinghuysen was selected
as chairman. Professor F. c. Minkler'
of the State college, was named as Sec
retary. for which office he will receive
a salary of $3.50.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to investigate and report to the next
Legislature a plan whereby the i've
stock raising industry will be made a
more profitable business. 1t has been
pointed out that stock raising In this
State has beer for a number of years
on the decline. caused, it is said, by the
farmers showing no interest in raising
stock of the higher standards.
The commissioners will also try to
devise some scheme whereby the farm
ers will be induced to go into the
breeding of strong horses to be used for
heavy carrying. Senator Frelinghuy-
sen suggested that the matter of horse
raising should be gone into very thor
oughly, and that when the commission
ers decided upon the best and most
profitable kind of an animal to induce
the farmers to breed the State pur-
chase several blooded stations to be
transferred from one place to another.
Dr. voorhees,, Mr.. Gaunt and DR.. Budd
were appointed a special committee to
prepare plans for the procedure of the

FAVOR GUARDING TRACKS
BY AUTOMATIC SIGNALS.
National Association of Railroad Com
missioners Would Invoke Aid of Con-
gress to Make Roads Safer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.--When the
nineteenth annual convention of the
National Association of Railway Com
missioners convened today for its final
session, 1t took up, under special or
der, the subject of Railroad Taxes
and Plans for Ascertaining Fair Valu-
alton of Railroad Property"
In addition to this subject, upon
which committees report is pending.
three other reports for consideration
were Delays Attending Upon Enforc-
ing Orders of Railroad Commission
ers,' Rates and Rate Making and
"Demurrage and Reciprocal Demur-
rage"
The special committee on safety ap-
pliances recommended Congressional
legislation to compel railroads, both
steam and electric. to protect their
tracks by an automatic block signal
system, and urged that the several
State legislatures enact laws along this
line
Charles F. Staples, commissioner of
Minnesota, presented the report on
RATES and Rate Making The re-
port said there is a growing public
sentiment that the rates charged by
the railway companies for transport
ing, or interchanging the various pro-
ducts of the country from one section
to another should be a subject of SUI
pervision and regulation by the va
rdous State and national authorities,
and supervision should be intelligent
and fair to both the people and the
companies.
Passenger rates. the report adds.
"are little complicated as compared
with freight rates, and whether right
or wrong the controlling factor In their
making is that of comparison.
IF the railway mileage within each
State was owned and operated exclu-
sively by a State corporation, the mat
ter of rate regulation would be much
simplifled. The cases are rare where
a road of any Importance is not an
Interstate road, and a large share
of the business is Interstate business.
This may be argued as reason
for entire federal control, something
we believe to be impossible without
amending the constitution. This we
do not believe the States will concede
until it is demonstrated that 1t is more
practical than experience has yet
shown it to be-"

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. Oct 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady, at unchanged prices to
an advance of points, and sold up to a
net gain of to points during the early
session on covering of shorts and buying
for a turn, which was encouraged by the
steadiness of the English market. large
spot sales there, talk of drought damage
to the Indian crop and the possibility Of
frost over the weekend. Trading was
not very active, and the demand seemed
to be mostly case of covering by some
of yesterdays sellers, with prices during
the middle of the morning point or two
off from the best.
The market was weak in the forenoon
under local bear pressure and realizing.
Prices, which had shown net advance of
II to 1S points during the earlier session,
were back to within 2 or 3 points of last
nights finals by midday, and the under
tone of the market was unsettled.

TO BUILD ROAD TO WONDER

FALLON, New, Jan. pa compa-

the wealthiest men of both Fallon and
Wonder to build a railroad to Wondar
from Fallon. The Southern Pacific
Company has refused to build an ex
tension of its line this year, and as thu
nine owners claim that a railroad is
necessary for the development of the
camp, they have taken the matter into
their own hands. The construction of
the road. according to an estimate fur
nished by engineers, will be nearly
800, 900, exclusive of equipment, and
this amount has already been sub
scribed. The road will be forty miles
long, and will be of standard gauge.
Instead of steam locomotives, gasoline
engines will be used.
