IN ROCK ISLAND
Furious Buying of Preferred
Stock in New York
Stock Market.
BY Associated Press.

New York, Dec. Furious specu-
lation in Rock Island preferred stock
was precipitaJed in the stock marke |
today by rumOrs than an important
plan had been perfected lor financing
the needs of the St. Louis & San
Francisco, a subsidiary company. The
fact that this transaction was attrib-
uted to the banking house which US
ually acts for Union Pacific gave rise
to the implication that the Hartman
and Rock Island interests were COM
ing into closer affiliations. At the
same time reports were sent from the
west that new projects were forming
for different organization of the
Gould group of properties. These ru-
mors were without official sanction
and were presented in indefinite form,
but they served to awaken great an
imation in the speculative dealings.
Rock Island preferred was rushed
up ga on top of yesterdays 4 1-3
point gain. The record of transac.
lions in this stock came out on the
tape in string. 900 share blocks
and upwards making up the bulk of
the record. Tie movement was few
erish and violent. Other stocks in the
Rock Island group and the members
of the Gould group advanced in SYM
pathy l 10 3 points. Elsewhere the
dealings were on a moderate scale.
Before the first hour was over the
general list suffered a sharp fall which
put prices well below last nights lev
ell.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. said today that
the financing of the St Louis and
San Francisco had been under consid-
Grafton by them, but that recently
the company informed them that
they wished to dispose of their per
cent general lien bonds to others aud
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.'S connection with
the operation ceased. A statement
issued by Speyer & Co. discloses that
firm as the buyer of a large block OF
the bonds.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES
PLEASED LARGE CROWD
Excellent Program Was Carried Out
in the Majestic Theatre Yesterday
AfternoOn--Like aMiIitary Camp.

In true military style the High
School Glass of 1908 held class day
exercises in the Majestic theatre yes
terday afternoon. In past years
every class has tried to excel each
other in regard to novel features and
those who were present at the exer-
cises yesterday will agree that the
Glass of 1908 eclipsed all their pre-
decessors.
This is the first time that class day
has been celebrated in the theatre
and although the exercises were not
scheduled to start until o'clock. at
2:30 nearly every seat in the orches-
ira and balcony was occupied. The
theatre was prettily decorated in
gold and white, the class colors, and
when the curtain rose shortly after
O'clock, following an overture by
the high school orchestra, under the
direction of the class president, Fred
Briggs, there were many exclama-
tions of How beautiful"
The Decorations.
There was every reason for re-
marks of that nature as much credit
is due to those who planned the
scene, which represented soldiers
camping ground. Near the footlights
daisies were strewn in profusion and
/ little tufts of grass added a touch OF
mature. In the rear of the stage, to
/ the left, was a tent with an ensign
I,08 on the entrance. On the extreme
/ left, in the rear, was a cannon. Guns
were stacked in various places and
near the front was a large flag pole
| When the curtain rose, Paul Brand
was seen blowing bugle at the right
! of the Flagstaff, while Jack Smith
slowly pulled the halyards thai
raised the colors Of the class to the
topmast. The mott of the class
Forward, hung in space over the
front of the stage.
The class then marched In anc
took seats in the center Of the en-
campment. President Fred BRIGGS
/ who was termed commander" OF
/ the program, delivered an address o.
welcome. He lauded the class and
on delving into personalities, caused
| much laughter.
The class was compared to a regf
ment of twenty-five soldiers who hat
gone through four years Of war ant
/ were now finally out of all DANCE
4 and the victors This idea was car
4 ried through the program, each par
ticipant being addressed with a mill

A ballot was taken to nominate q

were being counted for Taft while the

The delegates, however, seemed to cast
their votes uninfiuenced by the clamoI
of the crowd. More than this, the first
states on the call, Alabama and Arkan
sas, which had been relied upon by {
few Roosevelt men to start the STAN
pede for the president, held by thell
instructions while the clamor ragged al
about them.
