MAYOR 5 PROBING
INSISTS HAARER

Commissioner Haarer, OF the ID. p.
W., has had several clerks at work
digging at the Hawkins report on his
department. but has not been able to
secure sufficient data TO enable him
TO reply before the council to the
mayors accountants. He may ask for
a small appropriation TO carry on the
work of investigating the report fur
Their.
A number of further errors In the
report have been revealed by the
clerks. particularly In regard to side
walks. the bookkeepers being too busy
with spring work to take up other
portions of the report.
Mayor Thompson is not saying any
thing about the report jHst now, hav-
ing already said that he makes no
charges and that the investigation is
of the councils doing On this point
Haarer takes issues. He refers to
the following from the council pro-
ceedings:
l purpose to investigate the
department Of public works. pre-
ferably with the help of your hon
orable body. | think now that IL
your honorable body appropriated
for that purpose the unexpended
balance-about $2,000--of the
amount heretofore appropriated to
make an expert investigation OF
the electric lighting situation, this
inquiry would at least get well
under way.

The threatened soft coal strike, un-

ton in the Atchison dividend tomor-
row, were taken as bear factors by
the speculative element in the ex-
change and outside and were the In
centive OF heavy selling both for the
long and short account. The COM
bined pressure caused declines in the
first hour and nearly everything trad
ed in lost from to | l-2 points and
weak feature of the trading was
that no support appeared on the de-
cline. Union Pacific, which closed
yesterday at 126 1-2, fell below 125,
and Reading, which was specially in

bles, fell i 3-s. There was continued
