American War Vessel
May Go TO Honduras

An American war vessel probably will
be sent 10 the port OF Amapala. on the
Pacific coast OF Honduras. TO investi-
gate reports that the HOnduran revOlu-
tionists are pushing forward IN that
direction, with a view OF capturing the
city This action was decided upon BY
the State Department today upon re-
ceipt OF dispatches concerning the situa-
ton in Central America.
No apprehension is felt that the revO-
tuition in Honduras IS likely to involve
any other republics Dispatches from
Salvador state that a number Of ar
rests OF Salvadorians and Hondurians
have been made at Salvador the capt.

tvity. and. apparently. the government
is making every effort 10 suppress all

Peace Convention.

coast. with a view OF preventing any

Reports have been received TO the
effect that there IS lighting along the
northern border OF Honduras in the VI

the accuracy OF these IS doubted be-

NEW YORK STOCKS
WEAK AT CLOSE
Prices Start Strong and
Sell a Point
Higher.
PROFIT-TAKING
BREAKS THE RISE
Traders Expect Upward Movement
Soon, With St. Paul in
the Lead.

NEW YORK, July u.-Stocks showed
much irregularity today, opening fairly
strong with fractional gains over the
closing of yesterday, selling about
point up. and then sagging back to
about the level of last nights closing.
Traders who have been bullisnly in
Clned all the week, changed front to-
day, on the ground that the advance in
stocks had been long enough continued.
The impression now is that the recess
sion which began yesterday, and was
continued after the bulge Of the morn
ing. today will he continued until the
stocks thrown upon the market in the
past few days shall nave been digested,
when il is hoped there will be another
upward movement, and the report is
passing along the line that the next
point of bull attack Will be on St. Paul.
At the opening ST. Paul, Reading, and
Union Pacific were the leaders in the
railroad group, while Shelters, Ana
conda and Amalgamated headed the In
dustriaIs. National Lead was also
strong in sympathy with the rise IN
Shelters. Canadian Pacific rose u a
point, while B. r. T. lost a.. The Rock
Island issues were conspicuous for their
weakness The common and preferred
lost Il each. while the bonds declined y
point.
ment was the fact that many traders
bought stocks on the theory that yes
terdav's reaction had been large enough.
but the buying movement was soon
checked.
Buying Starts Strong.
One of the strongest features of the
copper situation is the apparent indlner-
ence of promoters and selling agencies
toward offers on the part of consumers
TO purchase copper 1T prices below II
cents a pound. one Of the largest cop
per interests, speaking through its gem
eral manager, said today:
I'VE are confident that within the next
few months the large consumer, in
Guiding the electrical companies Will
be buying copper freely for future de-
livery, and that prices Of the metal Will
be much higher than at present"
Bull Talk On Cotton Oil
Bunish talk continues on American
Cotton Oil, it being currently reported
that the First National Bank has been
accommodating the stock and that the
capitalists affiliated with that institu-
ton now control the property. The
rumor has been revived IN Wall Street
from time to time that the Standard
Oil magnates were after this property
to affect a consolidation of it with
the Virginia Carolina Chemical Com
pany.
A good many reasons are presented
today why St. Paul should be the leader
in the next rise of the market. Buy
ing and selling of this stock for the
past day OF two has been in abo:t
equal proportions, coming almost en-
tirely from speculative houses. 1t IS
said that St Paul has had better sup
port on the present movement than
- other stocks. and the BELIEF is that a
prominent Broadway house is long on
the stock and stands ready TO accumu-
late many thousand shares of II for
some speculative purpose.
The market closed today active and
weak and the price level being scarcely
above The lowest for the day.

TAKEN TO PITTSBURG.
Messenger Roshon Did Not Co
 to Hin Residenc>

Columbus, O., May 2.-The St. Louis express on the Pennsylvania railroad that was held up Thursday night ten miles west of Pittsburg. arrived here at the union station early Friday forty minutes late. The crew confirmed tha story Of the holdup by two men at Walkers Station and the bandits es. caping with four sealed bags. The crew states a numbeA of express pack. ages and quantity of gold bullion was taken. but do ont know the value or the property. The Adams Express company officials here refuse to make any statement
 Noah H. Roshon of Columbus, the express messenger, states two men en- tered his car east of Walkers Station and covered him with revolvers. Then they tied him with ropes they brought with them and rifled the car. As the train approached Walkers Station, where 1t does not stop, they pulled the signal cord and stopped the train. They made their escape when the train slowed up. It Is believed the booty taken Is of great value and 1t may exceed estimate of $1O0OO sent out from Pittsburg.
 Roshon was taken to Pittsburg by Superintendent Broszius of the Adams Express company. Roshon did not even go home after arriving here, but telephoned his wife and was then closeted with MT. Bruszius All sorts of rumors are current here regarding the robbery.
 Messenger Roshon has been in the employ of the Adams Express con- pany as messenger for about nine years Previous to that he was con ductor on the Panhandle road, having worked himself up from brakeman. In all he has worked on railroads about twenty years. He Is fifty-three years of age.
