BEARS TAKE IHt LEAD
 IN THE STOCK MARKED
Hammering Down Prices Below the
 Profit Taking Stage.

New York, March 16.-The profess sional element in the stock market was alert and there were indications of a reaction in prices today. A rev elation of wavering confidence on the part of the leaders of the advancing movement was confirmed by the con- fidence of the bears working for a re action. They sold with increasing az gressiveness and offered prices down to take the market away from those attempting to realize.
 Some confidence was added to the side of reaction by the news of the United States supreme courts deci- sion in the Armour Packing House cases. The confirmation of the power to control railroad rates granted by the Elkins law was felt to be of se- riOus import to railroad companies. The passing of the dividend of Cruci- ble Steel. preferred. was a minor in fluencc against the market Specu- lative sentiment was especially inn pressed by the pressure to realize profits on Amalgam&ted Copper in spite of another rise in the metal here and in London. This realizing was a prime factor of the weakness in the late market which continued up to the closing. Bonds were firm.

 INTO MAGDALENA BAY
A Detailed Description of the Arrival of
 the bdttIeships
A Magnificent Spectacle Which the Departing Mist Disclosed to Watchers--The FIans tor Practice and Entertainment.

Magdalena Bay, March 12-CBy the |. $. cruiser Buffalo to San Diego. March l6)-Ready for immediate ac- ton if need be. according to the dec larations of all the commanding off cers. with three or four feet of heavy armor showing red above the water. the American battleship fleet sailed into Magdalena Bay today, after eX- changing courtesies with the Mexican authorities represented by Governor Sanginez of the southern division of Lower California, and prepared imme- diately for the annual record spring target practice. which is expected to occupy about three weeks.
 Look at us exclaimed Admiral Evans when the fleet was anchored off Masdalena in four divisions four abreast: we are ready at a moments notice to begin target shooting. go out to sea and fight a battle. or continue the cruise. If any one thinks We are not ready for target practice let them come down here tomorrow and see. and if they think we can't hit the targets let them come along and take a look at them
 Admiral Evans health has greatly improved during the latter part of the voyage He was in the pilot house of the Connecticut when the fleet steamed through the gateway of the bay. and remained there giving orders and watching their execution until the anchors found a resting place in the sandy bottom of the harbor. The ad miral is greatly disappointed at not being able to attend the social func- tions at various South American ports.

SUBMARINE SCANDAL
 VANISHING INTO AIR
Former Agents of Boat Companies Make
 r lat DeniaIS
They Never Sought Improperly to Influence Members of Congress Naval Officials In Favor of Their Craft

Washington, March 16.-The house committee which is Investigating the charges of Representative Lilley against the Electric Boat company, ex- amined today a number of witnesses. Former Senator Butler of South Car olina was called as the first witness and questioned. Mir Butler said that after leaving the senate he was en- gagged by the Holland Boat company and later by the Electric Boat con- pany but he had done no work for the company for the last three or four years. His employment principally was to make arguments before the sen- ate naval committee. He never ap- peared before a house committee nor had he discussed submarine boats with any members of the house.
 C. E. Creecy of Washington, who said he was the principal attorney for the boat company from 1894 to 1908. said that he never spent any money to influence the government or members of congress in facOr of his boat. He did not believe any one else had done so. Creecy said that the testimony of Admiral Dewey before the house naval committee tha the could not have talk en his ships into Manila bay if there had been two submarines there. prompted him to draw an amendment to the naval bill providing for twenty submarine boats. This amandment was offered by Amos Cummings of New York.
 F. H. E. Sands another Washington attorney and brother of Rear Admiral Sands, L. s. navy, testified that he had been employed by the Holland company to look after it's affairs in Russia. He asserted that he never ap- preached or had spoken to a member of congress in regard to legislation ar had conferred with officials of the navy department about contracts.
 '.When the company broke up its office here said Sands. "it had nc money. Frost said he would like to pay me. If congress had made an ap- prOpriation he would have given me a fee equal to S1OO.OOO for each of the boats authorized" He said he had to sue for the money and accepted com promise of $6000.

The morning was perfect, once the sun had taken command. The air was balmy and a light breeze which blew from the south did not even ripple the mirrorlike waves of the bay. Once inside the harbor the Connecticut turned sharply to port and pointed course towardNthe north. It was a run of eight miles from Point Entrada to Man-ofWar Cove, where the anchors were let go. The town of Magdalena, with two score white washed low w-lying huts. nestles in the hills off the cove Here the natives gathered in the great est numbers to welcome the fleet The governor. surrounded by the uniformed members of the staff. watched the ap- proach of the vessels from the most pretentiOus dwelling in the village
 Not until the anchorage grounds were reached, the speed cones gradual ly descending showed a slackening of headway. Then the signal flags were broken out from the Connecticut with great precision. The vessels in each of the four divisions began a quick man. oeuver which brought them four abreast.

 The entire town of Magdalena turn ed out with a total population of 40 souls-four of them Americans-to watch the coming of the fleet. Wire less messages last night told of the near approach of the battleships and the town has shaken off its lethargy to arise and greet both the dawn and American ships in d joint celebration today. Watchers in the high hills caught the first glimpse of the lead ing ships soon after the first faint streak of approaching day slanted from the eastern shore of the bay.
 A heavy mist hung over the waters since earlg in the evening before and not until the rising sun had driven the fog away. the long precise column of ships burst into view. the Connecticut with Evans double starred flag futter- ing from peak in the lead.

 The suit involves a lien on Las Palmas, a tract of almost a section Of land. lying northeast of the city, but the action grew out of the sale of the Union Mine in Yavapai county by the Luke brothers to w. J. Rainey, one of the defendants The mine was not paid for in it's entirety. the Luke brothers having a claim of s2300. They secured judgment against him and at- tached his one-third interest in Las Palmas. which he and Smith, who is d cousin, some twelve years ago laid out with the idea of making it an exclu- sive residence suburb of Phoenix. They spent thousands of dollars in beauti- flying 1t with rare plants and expensive trees. The project was abandoned and both Smith and Rainey left the cOun- try.
 The suit was begun after the estab lshment of the lien. Smith contended that Rainey had no actual interest in the property, though he appeared of record as a One-third owner. Smith said that he had advanced all the money for the purchase and improve ments of the property and that Rainey was to reimburse him at the end of five years. He therefore asked that his lien upon Rainey's apparent one third interest might precede that of the defendants, Luke brothers.
 The defendants were prepared to prove that Rainey had mortgaged his interest in the property at various times and had paid the mortgages, but that fact was not admissible in the answer to the complaint and the de- morrer therefore consisted only of general denial of the allegations of the complaint The decision of the United States supreme court makes necessary the trial Of the case on its merits.
