VIOLENT BREAK
IN STOCK VALUES
STANDARD SECURITIES ARE
UNL0ADED
Investment Holdings on the Market.
Hartman and HIII Stocks Proml.
nent In Many peals--Light
Railway Earnings
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Prlces broke
with violence in the later dealings in
the stock market today and the mar
ket gave every appearance Of wholesale
liquidation being in force. The early
acticn of the market gave an impress
sion OF bear attack. There was mo-
ment OF strength in n few issues at the
opening and there were points of re-
sistance to the early decline, but the
whole list was swept into the down
ward movement and the decline gained
impetus as the futillty of the efforts at
support was perceived and stop loss
orders were uncovered on the decline.
The supposition gained ground also
that there was some large liquidation
of what are called investment holdings
gloomy feeling over the whole indus
trial and business outlook. They were
accompanied by some rumors calculated
to deepen the gloomy feeling but which
stance, 1t was affirmed that efforts were
being made to secure the cancellation
OF some of the orders on the books of
the United States Steel corporation for
future delivery, owing to disinclina-
deliveries
1t was asserted that the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad was seeking to abrogate
some of It's orders for freight cars,
prompted by revised view of the out
look for traffic. These reports were
without confirmation upon inquiry in
official quarters.
The earliest show of pronounced
weakness was in the Hill stocks, with
the Hartman stocks in company The
rapid downward course of these stocks
gave rise to talk of liquidation of Har-
riman holdings of the Hill stocks and
of market reprlsals for grievance be-
lieved to grow out Of the Hartman in
vestigation or of some Of the informa-
tion furnished for the purpose of that
investigation.
Another source of weakness was the
alleged needs of various corporations
for new capital and the high rates they
would be obliged to pay for 1t. Re-
ports of net earnings of railroads for
January coming to hand showed the in
roads resulting from the increase in
wages that went into effect on Janu-
ary /.
The closing tone was feverish and
unsettled and the rally was due to COW
ering of shorts but was poorly held.
Bonds Were weak. Total sales, par
value, $1,214.000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

SLAUGHTER HOUSE
BILL IS PASSED
Council Stops Practice of independent
Butchering on Ranches and Else
where Without Proper
Inspection

The city council yesterday passed the
long pending slaughter house ordinance.
It's provisions were printed in full in
The Herald several weeks ago.
The tendency of the ordinance is to
prohibit the slaughter of animals on
farms, ranches and small towns for con-
sumption without proper inspection. It
will do away with the practice of small
butchers and wagon meat peddlers OF
helping to dispose of meats of sick ami
mails.
The salaries of the inspectors are paid
out OF the fees OF the office, hence the
law infiicts no financial burden on the
city treasury.

men Say There Are
Others Coming

Plans for changing ward boundaries
are well under way.
Yesterday proposition to change the
ward boundaries of the Eighth and
Ninth was brought up in the city coun-
ell. Ninth warders asked for annexa-
tion to the Eighth, the territory in
volyed being between the Los Angeles

subject of changing ward boundaries
should be handled at once, as there
were other controversies concerning the
lines
Councilman Clampltt wanted to hear
what the two councilmen whose terri
tory was affected had 10 say and Yon-
kin asked Wren II he wanted change.
"rll give you some OF my ward II you
want It," said Wren jocularly.
The council referred the question TO
the Getty attorney to draw up an or
dinanee. when It win be further lis

BRYAN SAYS TAFT
MOVES BACKWARD
sECRErARH's ATTITUDE ON THE
TRUST QUESTION NOT AS RAD
ICAL AS THE SHERMAN LAW.

Denver, Col, Sept. William
J. Bryan. who Is here lecturing. said
today in an Interview:
On the trust question Taft takes
a backward step by favorlng the
construction put upon the antitrust
law by a minority or the supreme
court In the merger case. In other
words. he has not gone as far on the
trust question as the country had
seventeen years ago, when the sho p
man law was enacted.
Mr.. Bryan was then asked what
he thought would be the most prom
inent issue I'm the next presidential
campaign do not think anyone
can say this far in advance. he re.
piled. Much depends on what con-
gress does In the meantime. and
what the conventions do. | think
one question will be run through
all of the issues named, whether
the government shall be admins
tered on behalf OF the people or
on behalf OF few who have been
enjoying special privileges.

rINToVAL OF A
FAMILIAR LANDMARK

fesierday evening a wagon we'll
la7en with timber and empty barrels
drew mp opposite the Elks Opera
House on Higgnbotham avenue and
proceeded forthwith to block up the
roadway by the simple process OF
laying few planks supported on the
empty barrels across the street.
The wagon proceeded on its Jour
ney to Princeton avenue and oppo-
site Thornton's repeated the pro-
cedure enacted further up the hill.

globe.
IL was moot question on the
street for q few moments as to
whether Manager Jolllffe was expect
ing trouble from his striking stage
hands and preparing for eventuaII-
ties or had the new street railroad
company received a premature fran
chise and started forthwith to lay
It's tracks. All doubt. however, was
soon removed by the appearance on
the scene Of gang OF men with
sledgeS. picks. shoyels and all the
necessary impediments for road maxi

many moons has sunk into a regu-

beasts Of the field. the fowls OF the

TWO OUT OF
NEXT THREE
WILL DECIDE THE CHAMPION
SHIP OF THE CoALFIELDs.

Bramwell added one more scalp to
their belt yesterday, but no. with
out a fierce struggle between the two
faVorites. Pollard and Ferguson.
Bluefield had two two base hits
and seven singles. but they were
scattered and always with one or
more out and as a result were un-
able to set a man further than the
third cushion.
Bramwell ran up one three-bag-
ger. one two-bagger and four singles.
which gave them four runs.
Ferguson pitched an excellent
game. striking out seven dangerous
sluggers. and Pollard sent Ave TO the
bench without a sprint.
Bluefield was somewhat handi-
capped yesterday by the absence of
Count" O'Neil. the second sacker.
aud Adams. the third base artist.
who were left at home, unable to
play.
This makes the final score stand
ten each and three to play. two of
which will be played here today anH
Saturday, and which will close the
baseball here for this season.
