FURRY ON CHANGE TODAY.
Another Sensational Break, With
Few Buying Orders.

NEW YORK, September 22-Stocks had
another sensational break today. after an
hour of uncertain and irregular f1uctua-
tons. On the decline such influential
stocks as Union Pacific, Southern Pacific
and Amalgamated Copper broke half a
point between sales of small blocks, in
some cases of only 100 shares. At inter-
walls there were transactions in blocks of
several thousand shares.
Professional operations on the bear side
were evident, not only in the manner of
the decline. but in the quick rallies on
short covering. The bulls made no effect
i've opposition, however, in the form of
supporting orders. Brokers on the floor
of the stock exchange reported the mar
ket practically bare of buying orders.
The violent break came, however, after
some show of recovery and of positive
strength in a few stocks. The fall over
night reached 311 in Delaware and Hud-
son, 3A in Louisville and Nashville 3 in
Union Pacific and Illinois Central. 21a in
Anaconda, in Northern Pacific. Great
Northern Ore certificates and Amalga-
mated Copper and ~ in Southern Pacific
and United States Steel.
Apart from political considerations and
rumors that the federal authorities were
about to institute proceedings against
some of the large industrial corporations.
including the electrical companies, there
was no news to account for the break.
Just before noon the market was at it's
weakest.

ANSWERS BRYAN'S QUERY.
Attorney General Says He Has No
Case Against Steel Trust.

Attorney General Bonaparte's attention
was today called to Mr. Bryan's recent
inquiry why the Department of Justice
had not prosecuted the steel trust. and
asked if he had anything to say on the
subject Mr.. Bonaparte replied:
II am little too busy just now to
follow all the nimble evoluticns Of Or.
Bryans rhetoric, but If he really wishes
an answer to that question il gives me
pleasure to oblige him. The Department
of Justice hasn't prosecuted the steel
trust for precisely the same reason that
it has not prosecuted Mr. Bryan himself.
l have no information, official or per-
sonal, that Mr.. Bryan has violated any
federal statute, therefore the department
hasn't prosecuted him. | have no in
formation, official or personal. that the
steel trust has violated any federal
statute, therefore the department hasn't
prosecuted it. If Mr.. Bryan will give
me such information about the steel trust
the steel trust will be prosecuted. ana If
the steel trust will give me such informa-
ton about Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan will be
prosecuted: but in either case | shall
want specific charges, sustained by legal
evidence and verified by an impartial in
quiry. not loose talk, embellished by ora
torical fireworks and evolved from the
inner consciousness of an eager and
perennial candidate for Office

REPUBLICANS FIRE HOT SHOT
TAFT AND SHERMAN CLUB
HOLDS BIG MEETING.
r. E. Doan Riddles Bryan and U.
w. Youngblood Proves People
Do Rule Now.

An enthusiastic political meeting was
held in interstate republican headQuar-
tiers last night by the Taft and Sherman
Republican Club.
More than 800 were present. and several
speeches were made advocating the pol
icies of Candidate Taft apd the platform
of the party. Some genuine political hot
shot of the heavy artillery kind was sent
whirling into the democratic platform and
at the standard bearers of the rival party.
The principal address was made by
Robert E. Doan, former representative in
Congress from Ohio. He euiosized the
republican standard bearers and ar
raigned Bryan In severe terms, accusing
him of inconsistency and radicalism.
He talked much about the organized
workingmen, explaining the legislation
| that has been enacted by Congress with
in the past decade through the efforts
of the republicans, which has been most
beneficial to the organized workingmen.
In terms of utmost positiveness and as
surance he concluded his address by pre-
dieting the election of Tart President.
Others who spoke were S. III. Geisey OF
Indiana and L. w. Youngblood of Ohio.
The former devoted his remarks to at
lacking Bryan's guarantee of bank de-
posits. Mr.. Youngblood took up the cry
OF democracy, Shall the People Rule
and with the aid of a number of appro-
pirate stories, illustrative of his topic, at
tempted to show that the people do rule
and always will, as long as they have q
republican administration.
Capt John J. Strain announced that
the uniforms for the members of the
marching club will arrive from the fac
tory next Thursday night, and Friday
night there will be a meeting of the
marchers for the purpose of trying on
their uniforms and to drill.
Col. Odell announced that the ''big
grand opening of the Washington re-
publican headquarters will be celebrated
at the quarters of the organization in the
old Citizens National Bank building, ON
18th street. next Saturday night.

WILLIE Was 4 SWELL GUY
he WORE A FINE COAT AND
NECKTIE.
He Went Into Court for Being a
Sport and There He Had
Good Cry.

William Alexander White, better known
among the colored sporting fraternity of
South Washington as Willie of the
freckeled vest" happened along at the
Juvenile Court yesterday afternoon in a
sort of matter of fact manner to answer
rather pertinent family questions, as a
result of previous call to that institu-
ton of justice earlier in the week by his
wife.
Willie wasn't worried much. AT least
that was the impression gained by his
attitude.
An attack of ennui appeared to be his
greatest worldly care, with the possible
exception of flecking specks off his inn
maculate clothing. In short. Willie could
be summed up in the very pithy and
poignant lines:
He's the SWEETEST guy in all the town,
The coyest thing for miles around.
In his blue frock coat and high silk hat,
His yaller shoes and pink cravat.
Traces of perfume were noticeable,
too.
The proceedings were begun when
Willie's wife told a graphic tale of how
she has been consistently neglected and
left to shift for herself and eleven
month,old baby for many months past
while Willie "sported" and posed. He
rose late in the morning and retired
late, according to the wife, and every
time she'd ask him to help out with
the domestic burdens Willie groaned
and became much agitated.
The agitation finally took a threaten
ing form, and the wife was compelled
to go elsewhere for assistance. Even
Willie's mother took the witness stand
and branded him as the black sheep
of the family-said he never was any
good and never would be.
Willie Explains to Judge.
"W'en All works All works, an wat
All works TO All works TO, an All has
er right to do wat All wants wifi it,
said Willie in his own behalf
Use got tastes, All has. Qua'tah Sc

pointing to Mrs. Willie, ''is wat yo'
calls 'streperus, an she's all de time
a-fussin' an a-fightin'. an she amt got

"All right" announced the court
You'll go to the workhouse for 364
days and work. That means 30 cents
for your wife every laboring day of the
week
''Oh, wat will de fellers saw" moaned
Willie. The dust gathered UNDECIDED on

TREATS VIEW OF SCARE
Says That It Will Have Good Eff
feet on Republicans.

va
Charles H. Treat United States treas
urer. who has just returned from New
York is strongly of the opinion that the
republican scare that is now on will
result in the election of Mr.. Taft beyond
all doubt. Within twenty or thirty days
the pendulum he says. will have swung
back to the republicans and everything
will be over except the counting of the
votes.
1T takes a good scare to wake our peo-
pie up. They have been doing less TO keep
Bryan out than he has been doing to get
in said the treasurer, but things will
hum from now on and l imagine our party
leaders will be glad the fright has come
so early This will do good in many ways.
There are republicans who have been say
ing Let Bryan come in, he can do no
harm, but they will learn that it is among
the strong possibilities that the United
States Senate could be changed in COM
pleXion within two years after Mr. Bryan
got into office These republicans will
all turn over before election day and
will be in line. fighting for all they are
worth. This possibility as to the Senate
together with the serious menace to bust
ness of his election, will all be facts in
rounding up the conservative votes of the
country. Mr. Bryan might not intention
ally do anything to bring about business
depression, but it is almost certain that
the fear of him would bring great harm
If Mr. Bryan should be elected he will
probably have the appointment of four
members of the United States Supreme
Court, whose decisions might influence
the country for fifty years to come.
1T is pretty generally believed in New
York that Mr. Bryan's cry against the steel
trust is to cover the help the democrats
are getting from corporations
LAS to Gov. Hughes, things are
looking better for him each day.
Underlying conditions for his election are
better than was supposed. 1t is predicted
among we'll informed men that both Taft
and Hughes will carry New York by good
maioritieS"

BUSY WITH NEW STREETS
DISTRICT ENGINEER TALCOTT
PRESENTS ANNUAL REPORT.
So Many Measures Passed That
Courts Couldn't Keep Up With
Resulting Cases.

The fiscal year which ended June 80 last
was one of the busiest in the history OF
the street extension division of the engi-
neer department of the District, according
to the annual report submitted to the
Commissioners today by E. M. Talcott
assistant engineer in charge of street ex-
tensions.
This increased work was due to the
many measures passed by Congress dur
ing the last three or four years providing
for street extensions. So many of these
measures were passed during the last ses-
sion of the Fifty-ninth Congress that II
was impossible to have them all tried in
court, Mr.. Talcott says.
Last year twenty-four cases were filed
in court, of which seventeen were tried
fourteen verdicts of which were confirmed
one case. that of 7 street, being not We,
completed. In the case Of Albemarle
street the first verdict was set aside and
new jury drawn to hear the case. In
one case, that of assessing benefits to pay
for the purchase Of ground necessary 10
extend w and Adams streets through
Prospect Hill cemetery, the verdict mas
been filed, but not confirmed.
Eleven alley condemnation cases We're
fled of which nine have been. confirmed
one is waiting confirmation, and one has
not yet been acted on.
The most prominent street extension
measure passed at the last session of
Congress was for the widening of Ben
ming road from 18th street northeast to
Oklahoma avenue. conditioned upon the
dedication to the District of not less than
80 per cent of the land necessary. AS
the required amount of land has not
been dedicated, no action toward its con-
demnation has been taken.
Land Dedicated.
The act authorizing the extension of
Meridian place was amended SO as to al
low the Commissioners to change the
line Of extension. Property owners hav-
ing dedicated land for the extension, no
further action will be taken in the mat
ter.
Maps were prepared by this office
showing the proposed changes in the
street car lines in the city and the land
around the plaza, proposed for a park;
also for the dedication of Meridian street
northwest and to complete the extension
of Rhode Island avenue to the, District
line. and the dedication of Chesap sake
street northwest.
