CAlHOUN'S STOCKS
TAKE UPWARD TURN
Sudden Advance Follows Re-
port of Negotiations for Sale
of United Railroads

A audden advance yesterday in the
common and preferred stocks of the
United Railroads, following closely on
the heels Of the reports from New
York that E. II. Hartman and Patrick
Calhoun were negotiating for the sale
of the latter's interest in San Fran
cisco's big street railway system
caused no end of comment in financial
circles. The bonds of the company had
been showing q slight tendency to ad-
vance for several days, which was
attributed to the rumored changes in
control of the road.
The stock, however. jumped unex-
pectedly, causing 1t to be believed that
some one had gone into the open mar
ket, either IN the furtherance of the
deal that Hartman and Calhoun were
supposed to have under way or on
some good tip that the deal had or
would go through.
In New York United Railroads COM
mon stock Jumped from $32 to s3725
and the preferred scared from 5000 to
S53. While several brokers here tried
to ascribe the advance to several rea-
sons, the strongest theory was that It
was due directly to the Hartman Cal
houn negotiations.
Patrick Calhoun. who is showing no
disposition to return to San Francisco
to attend the graft trial, as he had
promised to do, denied yesterday In
New York to Call correspondent that
there was to be any change in the con-
troll of the United Railroads, and Ernest
Thalnan OF the firm of Ladenburg,
Thalnan & Co. added the statement
that there was no deal on at the
present time"
DOUBT AS TO DEAL
While New York fnanciers believe
that deal is on between Hartman and
Calhoun, dispatch from the metropolis
last night stated that there were a few
there who were In doubt as to whether
the transaction would be bonafide
one, the suspicion being that Calhoun
would transfer his interest merely as
makeshift until the last of the indict-
ments against him had been disposed Of
In the local market yesterday the 4
per cent bonds of the United Railroads
were quoted at s73, at which price s12,-
600 in sales were recorded. These sales
were later explained by Charles Sutro.
Who said that his firm having disposed
of bonds on hand. was compelled to go
into the market to fill additional orders

Wash day used to mean long days
drudgery with hot fires and steam and nasty
smells. Fels-Naptha has changed all that.
Fels-Naptha has made wash day as pleasant
as any other day, because Fels-Naptha has
made washing easy.
More than million women are wash
ing clothes with Fels-Naptha in cold or
lukewarm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing. Washday has no terrors for them.
And the drudgery of household cleaning is
lightened, too, by Fels-Naptha 1t whitens

Venezuelan President Seeks Adj

Had Double Purpose in Trip, De-
string to Consult Specialist on
Adyisability of Operation

SANTANDER, Spain. Dec. s.-The
French steamer Guadalupe flying the
flag of Venezuela, with President
Castro on board, arrived here today.
1t was learned that President Castro
will stay on board until he reaches
Bordeaux and then travel overland to
Berlin.
to Europe was dispelled very soon
after the Guadalupe dropped anchor.
1t was declared that he came to Europe
with the double purpose of being ex-
amined by European specialists and to
settle Venezuela's standing differences
with foreign powers. AS President
Castro is his own minister of foreign
affairs, he is confident OF being able
to conduct the negotiations to this end
to a successful conclusion.
The doctors said that the presidents
general condition was excellent. They
explained that Castro desired to con-
suit European specialists regarding the
advisability Of an operation. He has
been suffering for some years with a
disease that is understood to be q
tumor OF the kidneys.
President Castro, in spite of the re-
ports that he might not be permitted
TO land in France, announced that he
had started for Bordeaux and that was
where he was going. Before he left
Venezuela he made the first advance
by authorizing the return of several
Frenchmen who had been exiled for
political reasons, and during the
voyage over he had several long talks
with NJ Merleou, the French minister
to Peru, who was a fellow passenger.
He declared specifically TO the French
minister that he was ready to make
important concessions in order to re-
store amicable relations with France.
i,
would suffer no disagreeable treatment
on landing at Bordeaux. In a dispatch
from Santandar M. ~Merleou informed
the French government fully of the
situation.
President Castro, 1t is SAID, also ex-
poets to arrange the difficulties of his
government with the United States,
including the asphalt affair.

johnny Evers and other baseball
players are of the opinion that a
player will have TO be added to the
national commission as a matter OF
fairness, not that the supreme court
of baseball does not render very good
decisions, but that the great army of
players are entitled to representation.
1t is believed that the matter will come
in for serious condition during the
winter, and that a player Will event
ually be made one of the baseball

the Detroit and Chicago teams be-
lieved that the attendance figures at

made which deprived them of a few
dollars each. This is denied by Sec
