and the tone of the market was heavy
in an uncertain way.
The depro ssion was not pronounced
until the final dealings and had little
that was positive to account for IT,
That there was notable decrease in
the hnviny operations was palpable
and this rather than any notable
growth in the suItFy OF stocks Tor
sale was accountable for the dropping
tendency OF prices. Some OF the
stocks which helped TO sustain the
marker hv their notable advances yes
tcrday were subjected to sales to re-
allie profits today, and thus hel2ed
on the depression. The position IN
the wheat market was the occasion
OF some anxiety, and the renewed
uncasincss over the Turkish situation
was another dominating factor. The
extension of the speculation in wheat
has shari&ned the sense of the stock
market tradition that the parallel bull
spcculations in stocks and grains
present an anomaly. the rule being
for contrary price movements in the
two markets. a number OF Announce

bond subscriptions at such a rate
are likely TO make an impression on
the money market with possibly unfa-
v0rahlc effect on stocks. 1t was not

LOST HIS WIFE
CONTRACTOR OF sPARTANBURG
GOES TO COLUMBIA IN

Search of Her But Fails to Find
Her and Then Goes to the City
Of Charlotte.
The Record says R. L. Lawson, a
we'll known contractor of Spartan
burg, was In Columbia Saturday
night and reported to the police that
his wife. Mrs. Allie Lawson. had
without any reason, left her home.
Detective Forde and Lawson went
over the city in search Of her, but
after. several hours u%nfruitful en-
deavor, Lawson left at night for
Charlotte, where he asked the police
to aid in the search for his wife.
The following from the Charlotte
Observer concerning Mr.. Lawson's
presence in Charlotte will be read
with interest:
"In search Of his wife who he
a y left home Monday morning, R.
l.. Lawson, a prominent contractor
of Spartanburg, 8. c., was in the
city yesterday. He has notified the
police to be on the lookout for her
and has engaged one or more private
detectives to assist in the search.
So far 1t has been unavailing.
Mrs. Lawson on leaving Spartan
burg, went to Columbia, thither her
| husband followed her and attempted
TO discover her whereabouts, but
failed. Learning of his presence
probably there she left and is sup
posed to have arrived In Charlotte
Saturday noon. Her name Is Mrs,
Allie Lawson. She is described as
good looking. which is, of course,
| not a very definite description fol
any one iE Charlotte, where nearly
| all of the ladies may thus be char
acterized. When she left home she
was wearing a dark brown tailor
made suit. She Is about 35 years
! old and has four children"
MI. Lawson has only recently com.
pleted the building of the Hotel Ore
gon in Spartanburg. He has erected
a number Of other large buildings
there and is we'll known in that city
| He seemed at a loss to understand
why his wife should have left him
without any apparent reason and
said If she would return he would
be glad to see her again.
He thought she would return ir
time to avoid a sensation, and FOL
reason he hesitated about giNfna
particulars of the case to newspaper
men, but after waiting a reasonable
length of time he set out to fine
her. He gave a reporter for Thu
Record the address of the famil!
in Spartanburg and said he would
appreciate any assistance that the
press or the police might render hin
in finding his wife.

At St. Louis fifteen thousand en-

Many were trampled under foot,
when the police reserves charged
the crowds to drive them back from
the boats. Scores of women tainted.
These were carried into the wharf

The executive officer of the feet
has ordered the boats closed to the

Singular Freak Of Lightning.

During a storm in Frederick light
ming played a peculiar prank at the
residence of S. Herbert Greh. A
bolt struck the lightning rod and
ran down the rod at the side of the
house until it struck a nail in the
metal band by which the rod was
fastened to the wall. The bolt drove
the nail through the brick wall and
across a bedroom into the oppo-
site wall, where it was imbedded in
a lath beneath the plaster.

by two masked men and had been
tied up for more than two hours
when her husband and a neighbor
found her. She was utterly exhaust
ed and has suffered severely from
the shock.
According to the story by the po-
lice, after Mrs. Scott was bound

Hurled Into a Tree.

Just before a speeding automobile
struck a tree near Coney Island.
there were five men in the machine,
and after the impact the ambulance
doctors found only four men, all of
whom had broken ribs or other in
juries. When one of the four re-
covered consciousness he inquired for
the fifth member of the party and a
search revealed the unconscious man
hanging over a limb of the tree
where he had been hurled by the col
liSion.
