NOTHING NEW ON
NEW YORK MARKET
No Positive Factor Appears
in the Movement of Prices
of Stocks.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-There was
no new incident today which acted as
a determining factor. on movement
prices of stocks, although operators in
the board room and at stock quota
ton tickers were alert as usual, in
ranging the world for signs of such
news. In it's absence it showed a
waning influence of some of the older
factors which have been active for
some time past notably since the
election. The rise of Southern Pa
cific to above 120 established a new
record for that stock, and Union Pa
cific, st. Paul and Northern Pacific
sold at the highest prices of the pres
ent year.
The failure of copper to hold its
advance furnished a.text for much dis
cussion. The professional element
had been watching for reaction based
on technical grounds for several days
and rushed to follow the movement
helped materially to extend reaction
late today. Bonds irregular. Total
sales. par value, 5,412,000. United
States bonds unchanged.

Bachelors.

Bachelors are cultivated in all large
cities. They live in bachelor apart
ments and bungalows. They can be
seen during the day In counting houses
and on golf links, and in the evening
at dinner parties and poker games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind of bait,
and swallowed, bait, hook, sinker and
all, often at the first throw. Now, how.
. ever, they are becoming much more
wary, and hide in the depths of their
bachelor apartments or in deep pool
rooms from which they cannot be
lured.
They are gregarious in their habits,
running in schools, but they stand by
each other, and 1t is very unusual to
find solitary one Occasionally, how
ever, more foolish and overconhdent
specimen will poke his nose into a
summer resort, when he is promptly
landed.
Bachelors are In reality the bulwark
. Of the nation. By not getting married
they do not raise families. Families,
as we know, are constantly consum-
ing our natural resources. Bachelors
are. therefore, really providing more
natural resources for the few. Their
conduct, it will be seen, is thus quite
unselfsh.-Life.

C|TY'S FUTURE LIES
IN WATER SUPPLY
Mayor Taylor Says Securing of
Hetch Hetchy Is More Essen
tiaI Than Everything Else


"The future of San Francisco will be
placed on perpetual foundations said
Mayor Taylor yesterday, by securing
for the city the Hetch Hetchy valley
as reservoir for its Sierra water sup
ply. Water is more essential to the
city's life than all other things COM
bined. When the city shall have ac-
quired the Spring Valley; established
its auxiliary fire protection system, and
taken the steps necessary to secure the
flood waters of the Tuolumne as it's
lasting source of supply San francisco
will have placed its future on an i'm
movable foundation"
The mayor heard with satisfaction OF
the successful trip of the supervisors
to survey the proposed water sites in
the Hetch Hetchy valley and the waite
sheds of Lake Eleanor and expressed
his regret at not having been able to
visit the locations himself. "a few
years SINCE" he said, II started to ex-
plore this region in a company of the
Sierra club, but the untimely death OF
Professor Joe LIE Conte cut short my
journey, as L returned from the Yo-
semitic with his body.
The Sierras are mighty fastness
toward which my heart turns, and ]
long to revisit them again. 1t is there
in the great. granite basins of the up
per mountains that San Francisco must
find her everlasting supply of our first
necesSity-water."

PRETTY GIRL WIFE
ACCUSES HUSBAND
Edgar M. Bates Is Arrested for
Refusing to Support His
Better Half
Left Penniless in Strange City,
Young Woman Appeals
to the Police

Mrs. Lily X. Bates, petite brunette
not yet out. of her teens had her nus
band Edgar M. Bates, an advertising
solicitor arrested yesterday on war
rant charging him with abandoning
her and refusing to support her. Bates
was arrested in Market street by Po-
liceman Cullinane, and when taken to
the prison his girl wife was waiting
for him. When searched he had $2.25
In his pocket, and she begged him TO
give her the money as she was lett
with only 25 cents. He refused.
Bates refusal hardened the girl
wffe's heart against him and she called
upon Chief Biggy. She said she was
married to Bates in Providence, r. l.,
last November and a few months ago
he abandoned her. She learned he
was in this city, and, week ago she
came here and found him living in lux
dry in the Corona apartments in Turk
street. She said he wanted her to lead
an immoral life, and because she IN
dignantly refused he left the Corona
apartments, telling her he would have
nothing further to- do with her. She
was living there among strangers and
had no money to buy food or pay for
her rooms.
Mrs. Bates said she wanted to return
home to her parents, but had not
enough money to send a telegram to
them to forward her enough coin to
pay her transportation. The chief OBJ
tanned their address in Providence and
forwarded a telegram at once. Mrs.
Bates says she will remain here to
prosecute her husband.

BUNKO MEN WORK. AT
PACIFIC MAIL WHARF
R. p. Carter, a Teacher En-
Route to Manila, Loses $40
in Matching Game

Four bunko men were operating yes
terday at the Pacific Mail wharf among
passengers leaving by the Hongkong
Maru. They got hold of.R..P. Carter, a
teacher going to Manila, by telling him
that they would show him the gov
ernment submarine boat. They took
him to Pope & Talbot's lumber yard,
where they started matching coins.
Carter was induced to try his luck and
parted with $40.
Policeman McEntee saw Charles
OKeefe, one of the gang who is known
to be clever bunko steerer, with
Charles S. Dandois, civil engineer GO
ing to Manila, and, becoming suspicious,
followed them to the lumber yard,
where the three others joined them AS
soon as they saw McEntee they ran.
McEntee caught O'Keefe and Policeman
Brown caught John McCully. McEntee
left O'Keefe with Brown, and getting
into an automobile, started in pursuit
of the other two, who had jumped into
an express wagon. The wagon had too
great start, and McEntee lost sight
of it at Seventh and Howard streets
O'Keefe and McCully were taken to
the city prison and their names regis
tered on the detinue book. The only
charge that can be made against theri
is vagrancy, as the victim, Carter, is
on his way to Manila.
