MOTOR PARTY IS NOW
 SCORCH|NG THE DESERT
SOUTHLAND TO LOS ANGELES BY
 AUTOMOBILE.
Many Auto Parties Are Planning to Run Over the Phoenixlos
 Angeles Course Soon.

A decided impetus has been given to cross-country automobile runs ever since the Los Angeles Phoenix race for the trophy offered by this news paper demonstrated that automobiles can travel over almost any road that a burro can make headway on. Early in the summer George Purdy Bullard will make the run to Los Angeles in his Tourist He will be accompanied by quite party. though the plans are not definitely formed as yet. Will Cal lahan will probably accompany MT. Bullard in his Speedwell. and others will doubtless go along over the hot sands of the desert.
 Another party that has selected the automobile route rather than the rail- road passed through Phoenix yester- day on their way to Los Angeles. w. J. Young, Jr., and pr. Sloan. of Court land. started from that place on April 14 at 2:30 a. m. in Mir. Young's sixty horsepower LocomOb:le. On arriving at Tombstone they picked up A. N. Gage and Charles Bowman, and the party, which included MT. Goung's chauffeur, tore off the miles at a rapid rate on the way to Phoenix.
 They arrived at Tempe after having crossed the Gila on a hayrack. at 3:30 o'clock and put the car on tine train for Phoenix. They arrived in Phoenix at 11:30 on Thursday night, having made the PAS miles in eleven hours actual running time.
 They were up early yesterday morn ing and got on the way by 5:30. taking the road to Buckeye. From there they will follow the course of the Los An geles-Phoenix road race. going through Salome. Vicksburg, and crossing the river at Ehrenberg. They expected to cross the Colorado river some time yesterday afternoon and camp for the night in the desert between the river and Salome. If they were not delayed by the ferry at the river and the one hundred mile stretch of a desert just beyond. they should reach Los Angeles at noon today.
 The car. which was specially equip ped for the journey. showed remark able spee1 and averaged over twenty two miles an hour on the road from Courtland to Phoenix. If the party meets with no accidents or delays and the previous speed Is kept up. their running time to Los Angeles should closely approximate the record estab- iished by Colonel F. C. Fenner in the race for The Republican cup.

quaint pueblo the clicking of the hand loom is one of the few sounds of activity to be heard. The indus try is carried on chiefly in the little homes, and the loom manipulators are as rule women. The more laborious work of preparing the fiber falls to the lot of the men. The patterns es- sayed are always geomotrical, and the color schemes vary from the most delicate and subdued to occasional vivid and striking hues. The dye stuffs are of vegetable composition, and the secrets of many tints are jealously guarded and preserved. The cost of pima places it beyond the reach of the common people as a rule, yet on fiesta and great church days there are few senOras or senor- itas who are unable to display an elaborate gown of the material The product is limited and the demand from European countries and Amer ica greatly exceeds the supply.
 The Philippine display at the Alas ka- -Yukon-Pacific exposition will in- clude a demonstration of pima weay- ing and the entire process from sep arating the fibre from the plant to completing the intricate process will be demonstrated.

during the early part of the session but during the final hour sentiment cTystallized into decided bullishnesS brought about chiefly by heavy pur- chases of the July option. Trade in May was brisk at the outset, and leading longs were free sellers. Later the option was neglected in favor of the more deferred futures Pit senti- ment today was created principally by foreign advices. Sales of cash wheat were limited but the southwest re- ported a continued brisk demand with prices about at the high point of the year. After pursuing an unevent- ful course compared with the turbu- lent scenes of the previous session the market broke sharply toward the end of the first hour on liberal profit taking in May. The price of that op- ton dropped from Sf27 to S1251s in snort space of time. while July sold off more than one cent, declining from $1.167s to $1155s. Leading bulls promptly came to the support of the July option and the price of that month quickly rallied, but May was less bUoyant. The top for July was reached at SI17s and closed at SI17, while May finished at $1.27h. Sep tember sold between $1.06is and $1O7H. and closed. SLOTS.

Buyers of Stocks Were Few and HesitatinG.

New York, April Speculative interest in stocks Was Tagged today and the tone of the market was heavy and uncertain. The depression was not pronounced until the final dealings and had little that was posi- tive to account for it. There was notable decrease in the buying opera tions and this rather than any nota- ble growth of supply of stocks for sale was accountable for the de- creasing tendency Of prices. It was not until the renewed bulge in wheat late in the day that the weakness of stocks developed positive qualities. Prices broke then with some violence. making last prices the lowest of the day.

Property Owners Again Voice Their

The fight which is being made by
property owners and residents Of the dis
trict through which the New York Contra
tracks run from Forty second street to
Harlem against allowing the company an
extension Of time ip which to complete
its improvements was continued yester-
day at hearing before the Public Service
Commission. Spokesmen for the citizens
declared that the real reason for the delay
was that the company had been unable to
agree 70 terms with the American and
Adams express companies concerning the
conditions under which the latter com
panies shall vaoate their present quarters
Just north OF the station and move TO the
railroads freight line on the west side OF

possible to push the work OF depressing
the tracks at greater speed than Ii being
done without endangering the safety OF
the passengers on the road. r. W. Goeiet,
who appeared for the Goelet estates. said
that the delay in restoring the bridges

but the coming OF pleasant weather sent

WESTERN MARYLAND ProsPERs
Judge Bond ef Westminster Calls Atten

Ex-Judge James A. c. Bond OF west
minister. Nd. formerly president OF the
bar association OF that State and now
general counsel in Maryland for the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad. has arrived at the
Waldorf Astoria and he says that the
western part Of Maryland is getting rich
as fast a. any part OF the country.
In Carroll county. where I live and
which has q population OF only about
5000. tho banks have deposits OF over
- .00o. .00o.. said Judge Bond. This hAs
been made mainly out Of wheat corn
and the rise in the value Of lard.
People In Maryland are most inter-
ested In what the coming LegisiAture
In going to do. Some have been sgitatinS
everything that New York has done and
proposes to do In the way Of q public utili-
ties commission. For my part believe
our Legislature would do best by doing
nothing. One great trouble with this
country 10 that there has been too much
ignorant legislating.
The oyster beds In Chesapeake Bay
and In the Patuxent and other rivers
seem to be thriving under the HAmans
law. which protects the growth Of theae
and the making OF other oyster beds,
and this gives satisfaction to q great many
people. because a large portion OF the
population OF the State is dependent
upon the oyster industry
