STOCK MARKET IS EASIER
Fnanciers of the Opinion Worst of
Period of Uncertainty is Past.
REFLECTS EUROPEAN CONDITIONS
High Rates for Money Abroad Have
Induced Foreigners to Throw over
Large Amount of American
Securities,

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.--The feeling of ap-
prehension with which the stock market
began the week has been replaced by
calmer judgment. There was much less
liquidation and few signs, save in isolated
instances of selling by those whose margins
were impaired or whose confidence In the
future had fallen to a lower point Such
Improvement as was shown, however, was
largely sentimental. based on the belief
that prices have discounted all the more
adverse conditions that may arise and that
| henceforth there will be less Of political
agitation, or at least less response on the
part of investors to what have formerly
been regarded as disturbing policies. The
speeches Of Secretary Taft at Columbus
on Monday and of President Roosevelt at
Provincetown on Tuesday were read with
great interest in wall street. but their
effect on the market was slight.
Much more interest attached to the gen
eral credit situation, since it became ap-
parent that the market was slowly but
surely divorcing itself from purely politi-
cal considerations. Bankers who look at
conditions from a better vantage point than
the average outsiders are more impressed
with the idea that the trouble through
which the market has been passing is
international in character, and that 1t is
! the close relations between the money
| markets of this country and those of
Europe that have produced the tension
here Our markets have not only had to
absorb the liquidation of American share
holders, but they have been forced to ac-
cept securities to the value of many mil
lions of dollars from investors scattered all
over Europe, England Germany, France
and Holland who have greatly reduced
their holdings of American securities, until
now they probably at the lowest level
in some years. Further, the high rates
for money abroad have reduced the borrow
ing capacity Of this country in a field from
which large amounts of capital are an
nuallY drawn.

show ground and Omaha will have a
chance to spend it's evenings watching a
grand display of fireworks and the like in
connection with a spectacular performance
to be presented under the title of "The
Siege of Jericho"
Just what fireworks had to do with the
operations of General Joshua at the MEM
orable siege OF Jericho is not dvulged in
written history and the inquirer will very
likely be told to go to Jericho to find out.
Papa Bill Rouke has closed with the COM
pany that puts on the show, and will give
1t for six nights, commencing Monday,
September l6. 1t is a performance Of much
magnitude and includes some spectacular
features aside from the fireworks display,
Offering a somewhat dramatic representa-
tion of one of the great events of biblical
history. Three hundred people are en-
ployed In the production, aside from the
experts who handle the pyrotechnic dis
plays. The show will be given on the dia-
mond, so that all in the grandstand and
bleachers can see 1t. Additional seats will
be put in TO accommodate the crowds GER
tain to visit the park during the time of
the show. More detailed announcements
will be made later.

COLoRED MEN BUCK TRusT
Two BootbIncks Refuse 60 Raise
Prices with GreeLa who Cou-
troll Business.

In this day and age OF trust busting,
when the voX populi is lifted in righteous
indignation against predatory combines
Omaha has grappled with two tenacles Of
the octopus, the coal and ice. and now
finds itself face to face with the third
the bootlack industry. At least this is the
charge made by two colored men, Gene
Thomas and Tom Adams. who propose TO
stand between the common people and the
encroachments Of the powerful.
The fact is a couple of years ago Greeks
secured control of the bootblack stands in
Omaha, and today own them all except two
places-onc at gl South Thirteenth street,
Omaha, and the other at 42l North Twenty
fourth street. South Omaha. These two
are owned and operated by Messrs Thomas
and Adams. Having the business prac-
tically in their own hands, the Greeks are
able to dictate the market, They have,
therefore raised from to 10 cents the
price Of a shine for Saturdays Sundays
and holidays. This is the issue. The col
ored men are still charging the same for
these days as they do for others-5 cents a
shine-and propose to stay by this price
and fight it out along this line II It
takes all summer" They don't care II
there are four holidays a week and every
day is Sunday bye and bye they will con-
tinue to guard the interests of the com
mon people by asking no more than
cents let the octopus charge what it may.
Messrs. Thomas and Adams say they and
other colored men would like to get back
Into the bootblack business on a large
scale, as they once WERE but have found
it impossible to secure quarters. They
have been refused suitable places by a
number Of landlords or agents to whom
they have gone earnestly asking to rent
certain rooms. In the meantime. the Greeks
are multiplying their places and enlarging
| their plants in this and other western
cities.

while the members OF the bar are threaten

bar ticket is not successful at the polls.
II was made public yesterday that II Frank

nominated for district judge over the bar
ticket. the lawyers will put up in

This has added fuel TO the flames started
when the bar attempted to dictate nom
nations and annul the primary law The
opponents of the bar ticket have found
what they claim is a good reason why the
lawyers want the persons named In their
resolutions as district judges. They have
discovered that the ringleader OF the bar
movement. Judge Lincoln Frost, has had

supreme court. That is, he had been re-
