bethought himself of little joke.
"What is the name of this station,

''St. EnOch station. sir"
A few minutes later he met the same

"what did you call this station, por-

"St. Enoch's. Dae We no see the

WASHINGTON STOCKS
BECOME ACTIVE
Bonds and Railway Shares
Taken in Quantity on
Rising Prices.

The Washington Stock Exchange to-
day cut loose from all recent precedents
and launched into a session Of trading
that at times appeared almost reckless.
AT the close, when the secretary had
time to mop his face and sum up the
record. it showed $1,000 in bonds sold
and 1,624 shares Of stock. And the good
thing about it all was the sales were
made for real money.
on regular call the investment buying
Of bonds, which has been so much In
evidence for several days. was renewed
at good prices. A 500 Gas 4 per cent
was bid in at 9624 followed by the sale
OF two Washington Railway and Elec-
trio per cents at SlIG 10 Is. Then fol-
lowed the exchange of 5000 of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone 5
per cents at 1OHs and Z. The official
bid price for these bonds recently has
been 100, but this was cut a little by
the broker who brought the block 10
the exchange for sale.
JUST at the close OF the regular call
the unexpected happened when a sale
or 100 shares OF Washington market
stock was sold at 1871. This stock is
seldom traded in, and the sale Of 100
shares Of IL is almost unprecedented.
The real fun began after call, when
the brokers who had failed TO arrange
trades on the stocks Of the Washington
Railway ana Electric Company began
10 bid for the stock The preferred
shares We're first gathered in, all that
could be found OF Ihem-abOut thirty
from S25z to 50. Then began a selling
Of Railway common that has not been
equalled since the halcyOn days Of
more than year ago, when local hnan-
ciers were buying up the stock TO get
control OF the company
The official bid price OF the stock
had been pegSed at abou- SO a share
Tor several days. YESTERDAY a single
sale was made above that figure, and
bids were made as nigh as 3D. Today
the price was bid up 10 "a, and at this
point there was immediately something
doing Brokers who have held back
for many weeks began unloading tEeiT
stock. The first sale was for ninety
five shares. Then came the lot held
by another man, containing forty
shares. then the stock came out in
100 share lots so fast tAe secretary
could scarcely record them Mesn n
while, the price was crawling Up AN
eighth at a clip. and the last sale for
the day was eighty shares at s.. In
all l,475 shares were taken in on a rising
scale Of prices.
It was the banner day Of the summer
for the Washington Stock Exchange

LICENSE BUILDERS
IS ASHFORD'S PLEA
District Inspector Tells Com
missioners Why Such Steps
Should Be Taken.

Strongly recommending that building
permits be issued only TO licensed build
ers, Building Inspector Ashford yester-
day explained to the Commissioners the
workings OF his Office In suggesting
various improvements In the way Of re-
organization, the building inspector laid
special stress on the proposition 10
license builders.
Accidents such as the collapse Of the
P!ckfo-d apartment. he said, would b.
avoided by issuing permits only 10 those
who have passed an examination at the
hands OF q competent board.
Such action. he said, would result in
placing the responsibility in the hands
Of one person and would insure better
construction and the use OF better ma
terials-
Principal Builders Indorse It.
The proposition, when preached here
tofore," said Mr.. Ashford. met with
the universal Endorsement by the prin-
cipal builders OF the District. II was
opposed only by the small builders. who
declared that such regulations would de-
prive them OF a means Of livelihood.
The percentage OF builders affected,
however. would be small"
The building inspector included in his
last annual report the recommendation
to license builders, and il was forwarded
BY the commissioners TO Congress and
VIII be renewed at the coming session
Office Force Should Be Doubled.
Referring to the work Of his Office Mr..
Ashford declared that the force Of eight
inspectors should lie doubled. Each

six square miles 70 cover and from So 10

conditions, he said, II IS impossible 10

FIND NO MOTIVE
FOR DREW MURDER
Love for Youngest
Brother May Help
Solve Case.

TROY, y. Y, July 2S.-With twenty
one Of the country witnesses heard in
the inquest into the death OF Hazel
Drew, no suggest ion of a motive for
the crime at Tears pond has been
found. and the only evidence poin ting
TO a possible solution Of the mystery
is that Of the yellow geared buggy with
the two strange men seen near the
pond on the night OF the murder
Efforts to show that Miss Drew com
mitted suicide have failed
while the inquest developed no clue,
4 new line of investigation was opened
up by the detec tives that they hope
may eventually cad TO ferreting out
the girls slayer. This clue has to do
with the girls youngest brother. Willie
Drew, a ffteen-year-old yoUngster OF
whom, it has been discovered. she was
particularly fond Between Hazel and
her older brother and sisters and even
her parents there existed q manifest
coIdness, but for her brother VIII she
held an undying love.
The boy, blue eyed and manly, had
been stopping for three eeks. I'D to
the Monday after the discovery of the
girls body, at the little rugged farm
house Of Mrs. Libbie Sowalsky. on
Bears Head road. 1t is now believed
that Hazel was on her way 10 the
Sowalsky farm to see her brother the
night she met her death.
Intercepted on Road.
She never reached the farm, and the
superstition is that on the way along
the rocky, tort,ious road she was in
tercepted, and Iured TO TeaTs Pond,
where. after an effort was made to
attack her. she was killed and her life
less form thrown into the water. Bears
Head road strikes OF from Taborton
mountain road about half a mile from
Teal's pond. Hazel was seen walking
along Taborton road that night She
hal left the Cary home in Troy the dav
before. after packing her BELONGINGS
and that it was her intention to leave
the city is evidenced by her checking
her suit case at the Union station in
