 NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The shorts were confronted with a comparative scarcity of offerings when making efforts to cover their commitments during the session today, with the re. suit that sharp. recoveries were re corded throughout the list Special ties were again in favor particularly the New York fractions and Gould is sues. The metal stocks were under pressure during the greater part of the session and efforts were made to weaken the general list by attacks on Shelters and Amalgamated, but good support was rendered and the close was strong and near the best prices of the day. A great many lines which were liquidated on the break were re- iapsed on the advance and the char acter of the buying from outside sources was much improved The news of the day was not of a char acter to affect trading either way, but the short interest Is still of good pro portions and is likely to be reckoned as a sustaining influence. Recovery has been rather sharp and further attacks are not unlikely.

 BOSTON, Dec. 22.-The market vas very much oyersold and the rally was caused by short covering. Hartman was reported as much better. Local coThsers were very hard to buy, es- pecialIy Copper Range, North Butte and shannon. The Amster stocks ad- vanced easily, the only selling being by traders who bought at the low prices yesterday, Its surprising how well East Butte holds. The demand is good and it should sell much higher in view of the plans which are in prog ress of completion. We still advise conservatism and would sell for a turn on any further rally.

BEARS STILL HOLD CONTROL
 OE MARKET
Appears To Have Ceased Sell ing And Are Buying Up To Make Deliveries Where They Sold SheFt On the Decline.
(By Prank J. Graf.A

Today's market was again in the hands of the bears, but this time they were not sellers of stocks, but from all indications they were buying up and making deliveries. waich was very likely the cause of the advance In today's market. The general ad- vance in the market was not looked for, and at times 1t looks as though there would have been lower prices than yesterday, but shorts covered and stocks closed at about the high mark for the day. The Boston cop pers showed marked strength, and In general showed better prices. Su- perior & Pittsburg was about the weakest stock on today's list, closing at S16.12 bid. Shattuck continues to be weak. the last sales being made at SlS.50. Black Mountain is being of fered at $2.75, and American at $3.50.

'BRITISHER" FINDS
A HILO ALLY

1t is decidedly amusing to note that
a person who at present seems to be
connected with the Advertiser has
managed to get into a controversy wish
an Australian over the question of Aus
tralias future. That the person knows
nothing whatever about Australia or
of Australian ambitions is apparent,
but that does not deter the blunderer
from holding himself up as a remark
ably funny exhibit.
1T is from Australians themselves,
men quoted by Henry George writes
this sapient observer, and from Cana
dams themselves, men of the type of
Goodwin Smith. that ideas of the kind
have most conspicuously reached the
American editors to whom the I'M
known Britisher refers in terms of in.
suit common to men who have not
enough moral courage to father their
accusations or who may be deferred
therefrom by some of the special causes
which lead strangers in these parts to
cultivate an incognito."
l don't pretend to know anything
about Australia. I've never been there,
but | have met many Australians and
the sentiment which they have invaria-
bly, expressed in regard to the solidar-
thy of the country to which they belong
is so utterly opposed to that expressed
by the Advertiser, that it really seems
a pity to expose the idiocy which will,
sooner or later, land the holder of the
Advertisers views in the pupule house.
When it comes to the proposition
that Henry George is an exponent Of
Australian thought, the position seems
palpably silly from the standpoint Of
an outsider, but when Goodwin Smith
is hailed as Canadian the whole mat
ter gets to the stage when lit is 10
laugh"
Goodwin Smith is no more a Cana
dian than l am. He is an Englishman
with dyspepsia, and is one of the
cleverest and most unpleasant persons
l ever met. He was president of Cor
nell University at one time and then
met an extremely wealthy Canadian
widow, of very certain years, whom he
married. He is obsessed by the idea
that Canada should be annexed to the
United States and in Canada he is con-
sidered as mild joke. 1t seems quite
natural that he should be quoted by
the Advertiser as an authority.
They are both mild jokes-Hilo Tri-
bune.

OLD FRAUD REPEATED.

Bidwells Convicted in Chicago of
Confidence Game.
CHICAGO, March 14.-Benson Bid
well and his son, Charles F., promoters
of the Bidwell Electric Company, a
cold motor" concern, were found
guilty today of operating a confidence
game and of obtaining money under
false pretenses. The former is a peni-
Tertiary offense, while the penalty for
the latter includes a term in the house
of correction and a fine of $4,000 or less.
Benson Bidwell is a brother OF
said, defrauded the Bank of England
out of $5,0OO,0O0. He started the cleo
trio company in 1896. He declared
that he had invented an electric motor
that would not burn out. He also as
serted that he was the inventor of the
trolley car and of the electric fan.
Investors from all parts of the Unit
ed States answered his advertisements,
sending to the company a total of
1925 900, according to the books of the
COlCGIu. Vial lSS II 4Dlh WSllJ IIlC syn,
was appointed secretary and general
manager of the company. The SOD re-
ceived 100000 shares of the $2,50O,000
stock of the concern.
It was alleged by the prosecution
that the Bidwells sold their private
stock in the company to persons who
thought that they were buying treas
ury stock. This allegation was sup
ported at the trial by Miss Ida 9. Pal
mer, who had been employed as an as
sistant by Charles Bidwell. In addi-
ton to testifying against her former
employers, she turned over to the State
a. secret stock book containing the
names of investors in the concern.
The State also brought forward eX-
pert electricians who declared that the
motor invented by the elder Bidwei.
was impractical. A model of the mo-

bearable to many prominent citizens of
Honolulu, VINO feel that the law should
be enforced and we ask that you use
your influence toward the enforcement

The matter mas been laid before the
Attorney General of the United States,
and a copy of the letter to him is en-
closed. We feel that the officials of the
government should perfo> IN the duties

to do. However, as a member of the
Civic Federation of Honolulu has welt
said:
I'VE recognize, too, the difficulties
under which these officials labor--up-
held as they have been by certain
amount of popular sentiment in favor
of regulation of vice. We do not
yield, however, to the view of public
office, which permits this so-called
popular sentiment to in anywise justi-
fly the violation of law. We claim that
the only safe course for a public SER

Office Safety to the commonwealth is
UNNECESSARILY more concerned-con-
cerned too with the value and peril
nence of that same oath of office, than
with any danger from worthless or
even vicious laws on It's books. EN-
FORCE THE LAW WHETHER IT BE
GOOD OR BAD This is the clearest
political gospel of the day. Let the
people look to it if bad; change it they
must if its stencil iO forced into their
nostrils
AS to Iwilei there is not even the
excuse that the laws are bad, only
that they are relatively imperative.
Hence We have the remarkable specta-
Gle of sworn officials not only disre-
garding statutes at the very base OF
divine and human law, but also max
ing their violation easier, safer and
intellectually more frequent"
The United States District Attorney
of Honolulu, Mr.. r. w. Breckons, mas
said that he will enforce the United
States law in this Territory, if so di-
rected from Washington. Citizens of
this city have requested it's enforce

OHIO A CENTURY AGO.

Incredible as it seems, says the
Ohio Magazine, Cleveland, the pre-
sent metropolis of the State and one
of the great cities of the country
was not incorporated as village un-
til 1914. and had then population OF
not more than 300 people, though its
location made it prominent In a
small way. The entire commerce OF
Lake Erie up to 1912 was carried on
by six small schooners.
Cincinnati, already important
though not yet incorporated, contain
ed about 300 dwellings, a good court
house and jail, upward of 20 stores
and, as an old description says, "The
various branches of mechanism are
carried on with spirit, industry OF
every kind being duly encouraged by
the citizens, it is likely to become a
considerable manufacturing place"
Until 1911, when a steamboat was
for the first time launched on the
Ohio River, keel boats propelled with
poles left Cincinnati for Pittsburg ev-
cry four weeks. On account of the
Indians and outlaws who infested the
banks the trips were dangerous, so
the boats were provided with bullet
proof covers and carried cannon and
small firearms.

Union, or Executive Committee,
Evanston, Ill.
Dear Madam:-I write to ask vour
cooperation in the effort to secure the
enforcement of the United States law,
known as the "Edmunds Act" in the
Territory of Hawaii. From the enclos-
ed copy of letter to the u. s. AttOr-
ney General, Washington, D. c., you
will see that the Ministerial Union of
Honolulu has taken unanimous action
on this matter. This is in the inter
ests Of temperance and purity, and for
the protection of our Island home. 1t
is also for the protection Of the sail
or boys" of our great American fleet,
soon to visit us.
We feel that your moral support and
backing in this matter will greatly aid
in the securing the enforcement OF this
important law If you can do so, we
ask that you send at once to the U. s.
Attorney General at Washington the
following telegram: wv. G. T. u.
heartily endorse action of Honolulu
Ministerial Union. We also ask for
the enforcement of Edmunds Act in
the Territory of Hawaii"
This will greatly aid in preserving
the purity and temperance of Amer
ica's sons and daughters.
Yours very sincerely,

Bridue Whist.

At least 60 per cent of the game of bridge lies in the make. A poor player loses tricks and often the game and rubber by his play, but so many hands occur in which there is really no play that such losses are comparatively un- important compared with the havoc wrought by an injudicious maker for constantly his decision is inv oked when the safety of the game or it's success lies in his judgment of the value of his hand. To choose between hearts or diamonds and no trumps, to select clubs rather than spades. to know when a five card suit is safe and whdn one of four cards should be chosen, above all to keep an unrelax- ing attention upon the state of the score, with ifs shifting demands-all these are the sterling qualities of good maker. Once sensible that you are lacking in any such respect you will find your game appreciably strengthened by attention and study Good Bridge"

Tho Story of Tooth Pulling by Peter
 the Great.
 Peter the Great particularly delight ed in drs swing teeth, and he strictly enjoined his servants to send for him when anything of that sort was to be done. One day his favorite valet de chambre seemed very melancholy. The czar asked him what was the matter.
 "Oh, your majesty" said the man, "my wife is suffering the greatest az ony from toothache. and she obstinate ly refuses to have the tooth taken out" If that is all," said Peter. we will soon cure it. Take me to her at once" When they arrived the woman de- clared that she was not suffering at all; there was nothing the matter with her
 That is the way she talks, your majesty" said the valet. "She is suf- ferlng tortures.'
 Hold her head and hands," said the cZar. T will have 1t out in a minute" And he instantly pulled out the indi- cated tooth with great dexterity, amid profuse thanks from the husband.
 What was Peters indignation to dis cover little later that his valet had used him as an eXecutloner to punish his wife, who had never had an un- sound tooth in her head. d.-Argonaut.

The England which spoke the Ian. guage which was already dying in the elghteen-sixties was before all things a world of the country. The sights and sounds of nature played T far greater part in tho lives Of the mass of the people than they do today.
