EARLY UNLOADING
 OF PROFESSIONALS
The Purchasers of Friday Were the
 Eager SeI,ers of Yesterday.

New York. Feb. 15.-The keen de- sire to realize profits was early man. ifested in the stock market today by professional operators who bought yesterday and hastened to resell to- day. The outside demand attracted by the New York bond sale was not sufficient to absorb the selling. and prices gave way sharply. Some items Of the days news were bearish. One was the decision to extend the rate of curtaiiment to the output of the Reading collieries. It reflected the continued sluggishness on the market Of that commodity Another was the report that an injunction had been granted against the payment of the Southern Pacific dividend to Union Pacific interests as holders Of stock Railroad earnings for the first week of February indicated a broadening of the margin of decrease from last years level as compared with the av craze January earnings. The general bond market today was little influenc- ed by the New York city bond sales Bonds were steady and quiet.

WILD WASTE OF WATER
 ALONG LA BELLE, OHIO
1t is Certain That the Damage In Pittsburg
 Will Run Into Millions
The Flood Adds to the Already Large Army of Unem- plOyed There 2O,OO0 Men, Flood Reports From Further Down.

Pittsburg Pa. Feb. 15.-Spreading ruin and disaster in their path. the annual flood of the rivers and small streams in this section holds Pittsburg in it's grasp tonight At 10 o'clock to- night the water had reached a stage of twenty-six feet. and was rising a half foot an hour
 The weather bureau predicts thirty feet by tomorrow morning. and pos sibly a foot more when the crest of the flood arrives on Sunday afternoon.
 At the head waters the rivers con tinue to rise and scores of cities and towns in Western Pennsylvania, East ern ohio and West Virginia are par italy inundated. In the Pittsburg dis trict alone the damage is expected to amount to several millions. The flood last year. when the water reached a stage of 36 1-2 feet, it caused damage estimated at "10.OOO.OeO, but sufficient warning was given this year to save much property.
 4 conservative estimate places the number Of men thrown. out of work by the flood here at 2O,OOO This increase to the army of the unemployed is ex- pected to result in much suffering for weeks. Charitable organizations have been soliciting funds for the unem- ployed and today additional appeals were made for contributions to assist the flood victims great many fam lilies have been compelled to move their household goods to the upper stories; they go to and fro in skiffs. on the north side of Pittsburg and to- night the police are patrolling their beats in skiffs.
 Many points in western New York and~ Northern Pennsylvania report high water. At Cuba, N Y. a large part of the town is under water. Large quantities of dynamite are used to blast out the ice

REDUCTION OF SCALE
 IN PUBLIC PRlNTtRY
A Deep Cut Recommended the Pres
 idens's Investigating Representative

Washington Feb. 15-The president today approved the order reducing the price of composition to be charged by the government printing office from $1.20 to so cents an hour for hand composition. and from $1.S0 to so cents per 10000 ems for machine compOsi- tion. The order was recommended by William S. ROssiter, who is conduct ing the investigation of the printing office as the presidents personal rep resentative.
 In support of his recommendation MT. ROssiter indulges in some criti- cism of the cost of the new accounting system in operation in the printing office. The system he says. is made almost absurd by the fact that the es- timate clerks make their estimates by fixed units as to the cost of work while the bill clerk renders bills for work on the basis of actual cost, based on a system of reports

DECLARATION OF WAR
 ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Prosecutions for Wholesale Relating to be
 Begun Against Road and Officials
The Approved Report of Interstate Commerce Commis- siOner Lane On the Result of His Investigations In California Last Fall

Washington. Feb. 15.-Prosecutions are 10 be instituted by, the government against lhe Southern Pacific and cer- tain of its officials on allegations that they paid rebates to shippers. The information which is to be the basis for the prosecution was obtained by Franklin Lane of the interstate com merce commission last autumn In the course of an extensive inquiry made by him into the affairs of the South ern Pacific. Lanes report. including the transcript Of testimony taken. was made public today. The report has been approved hy the commission and the transcript of evidence at the hear ing has been transmitted to the de- parIment of justice for such prescott tionS under the law as may be war ranted.
 Collateral with the proposed action by the government the railroad com mission of California has been fur nished at its own request with a transcript Of the evidence and has in dicated to the interstate commerce commission its purpose to prosecute alleged violations of the California law that may be shown by the report. The testimony taken by Lane was vol luminous and in the course of the re- port, extensive references to verbatim testimony are made as a basis for sev- eral paragraphs of the report.
 One of the particularly interesting features was developed just at the conclusion of the formal hearing, when Lane refused to place on the witness stand c. W. Luce, general freight agent of the Southern Pacific as a wit ness under oath. The request that Luce give sworn testimony was made by P. F. Dunn counsel for the Southern Pacific. Lane declined to administer the oath to Luce because, as he stated he did not wish to accord Luce, by administering the oath. immunity from prosecution for a violation of the law. He offered to receive a statement from Dunn respecting the rebate practices of the Southern Pacific company and enter it as a part of the record but he made it clear that this statement was not to be made under oath.
 In the course of his report. Lane says the evidence adduced finds: "The existence is proved of an ex- iensive system of preferential rates granted to certain ship pers on interstate business by the Southern Pacific. The record disclOses a list of los firms, corporations and individuals who enjoy what is known as special inside rates less than the rates published to the general public. on the movement of certain designated tariffs, between points within the state of California. That such shippers paid the full rate published in the first in- stance and were allowed a refund on claims which went through the audit ing department under instructions from the traffic department that such special rates should apply upon inter state shipments without tariff author ity: that such refunds amounted in various months in the years 1906 and 1907 to from s3O.OO0 to $50,O00 per

BUILDERS OF BALLOONS
 UNABLE 10 MAKE BIDS
The Signal Service Office Trying to
 Explain the Specifications to Them.

Washington, Feb. 15.-Another effort was made today at the signal service office to explain satisfactory bids for the construction of dirigible- balloon when the proposals opened in General Aliens office. A month ago six bids were received but because of the in completeness of the specifications ac- companyingg them all were rejected.
 The specifications covered the con- struction of a diTigible balloon to car ry ai combined weight of $50 pounds and at least 100 pounds of ballast. IL is to be designated to have a speed of twenty miles an hour in still air. Ten bids in all were received, including well known manufacturers, and in ad- ditiOn one from Louis Lupetts of Paris who offered to construct balloon in 90 days for $2O,00O. The lowest bid came from Thomas S. Baldwin of New York who submitted a proposition to construct balloon for $6750.

month; that such refunds given one firm amounted to s2S,9S4 from April 1906, when all previous records were destroyed, to September 23 1907 and such refunds to other shippers ranged in amount from $l3,690 to S22, ,25l; that such refunds and discounts from the regular rates had been continued for long period and up to the hearing in October 1901; that many such shippers to whom refunds were allowed. were large interstate shippers; that one shipper admitted at the hearing that the granting of such inside rate on stated movement influenced the routing of subsequent interstate ship ments of such traffic over the rails of the Southern Pacific: that in one in stance the general freight agent of the Southern Pacific provided by voucher for the payment to an interstate ship per of one half the loca. rate which such shipper paid to another railroad for the movement from the point of origin to the Southern Pacific lines: that there existed for yeaR an under standing between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe and certain shippers of dried fruits, that the traffic which moved into points of connection for transcontinental shipment could be en- titled at the end of shipping season to a refund of one-half the local state rate charged at the time of the orig inal movement; that in voucher books containing the so-called refunds on state shipments also contained records of refunds upon interstate shipments; some of such refunds upon interstate business were paid by a special writ ten decision Of the freight officials af- ter the claims had been denied by the auditing department.
 classification was offered by off cials and representatives of the South ern Pacific for the practices revealed was that in general they were made necessary to secure traffic which ship pers would not move otherwise were such rebates not granted"
 It is known that by the instruction of Attorney General Bonaparte. dis trict attorneys have already taken up the cases to be instituted for the pur- pose of beginning proceedings soon as possible. The names of officials against whom the prosecutio-- will be directed are not known and probably will not be until indictments by federal grand juries have been returned. It is in dicated as likely that proceedings have been directed not only against the Southern Pacific and it's officials but also against shippers who enjoyed. ac- cording to allegations. rebates from the railroad.

He Speaks lmpartiaIIy of the Rights of Capital.

Hartford. Conn. Feb. 15.-Secretary Taft played dual role in the course in the course of his visit to Hartford today and this evening. He addressed a big gathering at FoOtguard Hall. and later was the guest of honor at the annual dinner at Hartford of the Yale Alumni association.

He also discuss ed the Panama canal, predicting it's completion in five years.
