NEW YORK, March 25.-The sup.
port of prices which was still in evil
dencc today showed signs of strain
and there Was a disposition toward
reaction. This occurred without any
change in the character of the news
although there was the inevitable
change in the way of looking at the
news which always comes to those
active in the stock market when the
course of prices is altered
The action of today's market left
the inference that the increase in the
outside demand for stocks yesterday,
which was beyond dispute, was taken
advantage of to sell stocks on a larger
scale by those who had accumulated
holdings at lower levels. The ex-
pansion in volume of yesterdays mar
ket was suggestive, also of the car
rying out of measures to secure
profits. Prices touched at the OK
IRENE OF the advance yesterday were
the highest in many instances, since
the depression of October last. Some
aggravation of the reactionary ten
dency was caused by the report of
the probable calling off of an extra
session of the Minnesota state lcgis.

Representative Kuestermann Airs His
Financial Theories Before Con-
gressional Committee

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-
Special. When Representative Kuest-
ermann of Wisconsin rose yesterday at
the meeting of the committee on banking
and currency, to oppose the Nreeland
currency bill, he advanced plan of his
own, he claims to be the simplest and
safest measure thus far advanced. Rep
resentative kueStermann proposes that
any national bank after it has taken out
it's circulation to which it is entitled I'M
der the law, may take out in addition an
amount not exceeding 80 per cent. of its
capital, by depositing with the secretary
of the treasury, state, county or city
bonds, % per cent. in excess of the
amount of circulation to be taken.
This afternoon half a hundred of the
bic paper manufacturers of the country

NEWSPAPERS cENsURE CONGRESS
Nearly 800 Protest Against Delay il
Legislation.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The follow
ing address was adopted at the annual
meeting of the Associated Press today:
Representatives of TIA daily newspapers
gathered at the annual meeting of the AS
ISOLATED Press, respectfully ask the Presl
dent and Congress to grant immediate re-
lief from the eXactions of combinations OF
paper makers. In September 1907, and
again in November, 1907, the attention OF
the authorities was directed to the exces
sive prices then demanded by the paper
combination. Immediately upon the as
sembling of Congress, twenty or more bills
aiming to correct these conditions and tC
put paper and pulp on the free list were
introduced and referred to the ways AND
means committee. Persistent efforts to OBJ
tain a hearing have been refused. Dia
tory tactics have been employed to pro
long present conditions and to carry over
to another session of Congress every propo
sition designed for relief. All newspapers
here represented protest against delay
Attention is also directed to the false re
ports of news printpaper prices which were
recently furnished to Congress by the dt
rector of the census bureau. The newspa
pers here represented use approximately 81
per cent. of the news printpaper consumed
In the United States. We denounce the
quotations as submitted to Congress as
misleading and unworthy Of credence. The
reiteration of the accuracy of these figures
of the director after the error had beer
called to public attention tends to shake
public confidence and respect for statistics

MANY DIE IN WRECK
COLLISION IN AUSTRALIA COSTS
FORTY-TWO LIVES.
Trains Meet Near Melbourne, the Scene
Following Resembling
Battlefield

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 21.-
Forty-two bodies have been taken out of
the wreckage caused by the collisio"
April 10, of two trains, from Ballar.,,
and Bendigo, respectively at Braybrook
Junction, about eight miles from Mel
bourne 1t is believed that several 9th
ers are still buried under the debris. The
number of persons injured is placed at
Lightweight.
Many of the victims had entered the
Ballarat train at Braybrook and We're
Just about settling in their seats when
the crash came. The conductor had sig
nailed to the eng ineer to start the train
and was in the act of stepping into the
car when he saw the approaching Ben
digo train. He sprang aside in time to
save himself.
The station was in darkness and a
scene of indescrbable horror followed
the collision. Three of the cars took
fire. Many of the victims were burned
beyond recognition. A member of the
fire brigade found the bodies of his two
sisters buried in the wreckage.
An eye witness to the disaster says
that the scene was one of carnage and
resembled that of a battlefield. Several
of the victims died as they were being
lifted from the wreckage. The driver OF
the Bendigo train says that he saw the
signals and when the brakes failed to
act he reversed the engine but was I'M
able to check the train.

THAW IN LONE FIGHT,
Opposed by Relatives, Wife, and District
Attorney, He Begins Battle
for Release.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Against the
advice of all the members of his family,
and even against the advice of his former
counsel, Harry X. Thaw, the slayer of
Stanford White, has begun a campaign
for his release from the state asylum for
the criminal insane, Matteawan. Thaw
has engaged James G. Graham, formerly
secretary to Gov. Odell, for his counsel.
and the latter has already secured an or
der ON the superintendent of the asylum
to permit Thaw to sign his application
for a writ of habeas corpus.
Mrs. Thaw, Harry's mother, is strenu-
ousIy opposed to the steps taken by her
son. She wanted him to wait some time
before stirring up the matter of an appli-
cation for release. Thaw will also be
fought at every turn by District Attor-
ney jerome and his assistants, who have
no relish to see Stanford Whites slayer
set at liberty SO soon.
Harry's wife is said to be against re-
leasing her husband. She, it is said,
wants her divorce before he is at liberty,
and she wants to ger out of his way.

ON Proposed Change of Life

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-
Especial Representative Cary of Mil
waukee has recently been receiving letters
protesting against the proposed removal
of the lifesaving station on Jones island

in the House of Representatives. as a
matter of official record letter from
John insolvency of Milwaukee, secre-
tary and treasurer of the American Asso-

Mr.. insolvency in his letter to Con
gresham Cary says: ''There is one thing
talked about here at present and that is
the removal of the lifesaving station
from the harbor entrance to the flushing
tunnel. If this is done it will not be
for the good of the service.

HE UPHOLDS PRESIDENT
Senator Warner Says Roosevelt Acted
Right in Discharging Negro
Troops.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 21.-
A painstaking analysis of the testimony
taken in the several investigations OF the
Brownsville affair which led to the dis.
charge of a number of negro soldiers OF
the twenty -ffth infantry, and especially
that by the committee on military al
fairs, was presented to the senate to-
day by Senator Warner of Missouri.
1T is to be regretted" he said, that
a studious and systematic effort mas
been made to arouse the race feeling
of the negroes of the country against
the President because of his action with
reference to those companies.
1T is incredible to me that any m
telligent man, white or black, should
have the hardihood to charge that the
President in issuing the order dlscharg-
ing those soldiers, was Influenced against
them by reason of their color.
''White there wer special motive, foI
the negroes to shoot up the town, tnere
was. he insisted, an absence OF motlve
on the part of any one else to 90 II.
The people whose houses were shot up
were the people whose attitude toWafa
the soldiers was known to be hostlies
There was direct evidence that tne
shooting was done by the soldiers"
