Heavy Break in Prices but Good Ex-
 pansion of Trading,

New York, Aug 14-There was a | heavy break in prices of stocks to- day and the volume of trading at the | same time expanded materially Mis- givings which have been gathering ! force several days over the evidence of L excess in the movement for the ad- | vance undermined speculative conf | dence and made it easier for the bears | to topple over prices The bear ele- | ment was credited with influential lead ershfp of kind which has been en- | listed exclusively on the long side of the market up to very recently There 1 was no positive news development to account for the reaction, but there were some dsquieting rumors regard ing the finances of constituent mem bers of the Rock Island system. Yes terdays violent outbreak in the Rock Island collateral lives which are se- cured by St. Louis and San Francisco common stock. was followed to-day by a slump in the St Louis and San Francisco refunding fours and by wholesale unloading of Rock Island common stock. As 1t was announced yesterday that the unpaid portion of a S3,000 900 loan now maturing had been extended for six months and as the $7,000, ,000 note of the St Louis and San Francisco next due does not mature until December next, the di- rect cause of the demoralzaton of the securities was not clear The in ference was clear however, of dissat isfacton with the outlook on the part of influential holders of securities There was some disposition to as- sume. also that the break in these se- curities signalized a new leadership for a bear campaign in the stock market, The collapse of the Boston specula- tors program was an unsettling in- fuence on the whole list. Stocks which had been most unanimously heralded for an advance in the adver- tisng campaign were unloaded with unconceaed precipitation It became evident that the growing distrust of the market had led to honeycombing it with stop loss orders and this had the effect of increasing the velocity of lllb ldlI NIltn It llttN VilNN SHl lii 'N
 cisively Supporting orders were with drawn and prices were allowed to take their own course. The price of copper was marked down at the New York metal exchange again to-day and the copper warrants in London also declined. This caused an apprehension that speculative manipulation has played a part in the recent rise in the metal as we'll as in the securities of companies concerned in the industry.
 Estimates of the currency move ment show that New York Is still gaining on balances from the interior and the sub-treasury operations is also adding a copious stream to New York banks holding of cash, There I is an increase in the selling pressure every time prices rallied and they were forced down to.the lowest of the day at the weak closing

Concerning a number of the low priced and somewhat slow moving stocks, competent observers say that there are few indications of them being responsive to any such selling as may be counted upon. They have not been prominent In the speculation, and hence there has been built up no con siderable account on the bull side AS a matter of fact, in many of them Pressed Steel Car. Cast Foundry and Central Leather have been instanced- the market has been cleaned up.
 Many regarded the days violent col lapse in stocks as rebuke to the Bos~ ton operator, and as a proof that con servative banking interests are out Of sympathy with the advertising extra vasancies which have been perpetrated this week Furthermore, financial in terests, 1t was pointed out, do not want the public to believe for min ute that Wall street has any such methods as have been pictured in the advertisements mentioned The specu- lation in Bay State Gas and other stocks of that group fell flat today.
 It only takes reaction of any ac- count about five minutes to become very unpopular. Brokers said that they had many customers who had put in orders to buy stocks under the market. They had almost prayed that values would get good setback but when the good setback put in an appearance, customers ducked Orders were with drawn, because the market looked sick, as though markets ever looked other wise when they were selling off

One reason for the unusually sharp break In Rock Island was the fact that there were three competitive selling or ders for 5000 shares each. and the brokers handling them underbid each other until the last of the 15.00O shares were sold.

Amalgamated Copper and United States Steel resisted the decline the most strongly of anything on the list, just as was the case on the last se- we're break In prices. It was apparent that there was support in these two issues. Inasmuch as the rise which has in May was built up on the copper and steel issues, 1t Is reasonable to suppose that the pools in Amalgamated and United States Steel were taking them in considerable amounts yesterday At 77 3-4 Amalgamated Copper was only about 3-s points below the top, while United States Steel at 45 Is was less than three points down

PLAN WAYS TO SAVE
FORESTS FROM FIRES
LARGE TRACTS ARE DESTROYED
EACH YEAR
Prominent Citizens Form Organization
and VIII Try to Secure Larger
Appropriations from the
Government

The forest fires which annually deyas-
tate large tracts of woodland and UNDER
growth on the Sierra Madre mountains
formed the subject of discussion BY
number of prominent citizens at the
California club yesterday.
The men who gathered at the invita-
ton of William G. Kerckhoff were II.
w. OMelveny, J. o. Koephi, J. B. Miller.
H. II. Trowbridge, A. C. Balch, Dr. Wal
ter Lindley T. p. Lukens, G. B. Boothe,
Il. w. Keller, M. L. Graft, William H.
Knight and r. II. Charlton, supervisor
of forest reserves.
Mr.. Kerckhoff spoke of the Importance
of having a local organization of rep
resentative citizens back of any de-
mands which might be made in order to
secure larger appropriations from the
government.
When requests for aid are backed UP
by public sentiment public officials are
prompt to give them due attention and
grant the requests.
Mr.. Lukens spoke of what had been
accomplished some years ago by local
organization working on these lines, and
thought the time was now ripe to renew
with systematic plans TO secure larger
appropriations and more thorough aid
from the government.
Mr.. O'Melveny proposed fresh or
ganization should be started under the
name OF the Forest and Water asSocia-
ton of Southern California, with pro-
vision of securing the utilization of other
like bodies. He suggested a board OF
fifteen or twenty directors be chosen
with a working executive committee Of
five or seven, and that a code of simple
bylaws be pre-. .lred.
A committee consisting of Messrs
O'Melveny, Trowbridge, Lukens Miller
and Kerckhoff was appointed to draft
bylaws and report plan of Organization
next Monday.
Mr.. Kerckhoff read a letter from Sen
ator Frank P. Flint, promising hearty
cooperation with such an organization
both in Los Angeles and at Washington.
1t is hoped by the members that a large
number of leading business and profes-
sional men will join the movement as
its SUCCESS will mean much In the future
conservation of forests and invaluable
water supplies.

the First Methodist Episcopal church,
who narrowly escaped injury in an ex-

1T was a case of mental apprehension, -
said DR.. Mcintyre, FOR my wife ard
daughter had been sitting directly in
front of the heater but fifteen minutes
before the accident.
'They went into another room, and 1
started to the other side of the room,
while even the cat got up and walked out.
Had remained where 1 was sitting the
explosion would have blinded me for life.
Two large pieces of metal castings
buried themselves in the wall next my
chair

where Mrs. Mcintyre had been asitting
the large pieces of shattered metal passed
at height and with force to have be-
headed her.
Gods hand led us out Of danger. Our
