NEW YORK. January 5.-Today's stock
market Gid not show the extremely wide
range of fluctuations which was recorded
yesterday. but II was almost equally irreg-
uiar within narrower limits. During the
forenoon the market showed quite a re-
markable degree of resistance to a further
very severe decline in Consolidated Gas.
While that stock was dropping rapidly
below its normal figures of yesterday a
number of other issues In the various
departments of the market advanced from
one to more than two points.
IL was doubtful. in fact, whether the
nine points decline i'm Consolidated Gas
or the renewed pressure upon United
States Steel common which, of course, re-
suited in a much smaller loss was the
more effective factor in quite a sharp re-
action In prices which set in soon after
midday
Discussion throughout the business ses-
sion was largely occupied with reminis-
cences relating to yesterdays collapse in
the shares of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany.
Generally speaking, there was a dispo-
sition to regard the adverse decision to
the company rendered yesterday as of
rather less import than was considered,
the extremely severe losses which were
suffered by number of individual specu-
lators and firms. The position of the lat
ter was naturally not improved by this
mornings further extensive decline in the
stock.
The mornings situation at large bearing
upon the stock market contained little or
nothing that was not matter of COM
mon knowledge yesterday. The London
stock market was generally heavy, al
though no extensive declines appeared in
the American department and foreign
houses were sellers here on balance to the
extent of about 10000 shares.
Extensive Traction Advances.
During the morning session all the
local traction securities were exceptionally
strong, but they were unfavorably in
fuenced later by the irregular and re-
dictionary tendencies OF the remainder of
the market. Rather dubious rumors of
the early beginning fdividend payments
on Brooklyn Rapid Transit accompanied
the dealings in that stock, but the ex-
tensive maximum advances in Third
Avenue and PETERBOROUGH metropolitan
issues were unattended by any significant
gossip.

.SEC. CROSBY WAS
 GUEST OF '. M..C. A

DOUGLAS, Oct 23.-(Special. J. The Y. Nj. c. A. building was last night the scene of delightful as well as instructive occurrence when Inter national Secretary F. A. Crosby of Chicago was the guest of the associa- tion at a dinner, and was later the speaker who entertained and held his audience interested in an address upon the American boy.
 Tn dinner was prepared by com mittee of ladies consisting of Mes danes c. H. Dowell, chairman, Rice, Lockwood, .wyler. Mustain, Nichols aud Davis, and was as home1ike and as delightfully."- served as possible, both of which features added much to the enjoyment of the evening. About the board were the guest of honor, the secretarial force and the directorate and sustaining members of the association in the city.
 After the supper Mir. Crosby made his address and as it was upon the subject of his life work, the American boy, he was a most interesting speak CT. This morning he made an ad- dress to the high school scholars, and this afternon to the grammar school grades. He leaves for Fl Paso this evening.

TUCSON DEPARTMENT
 SHOWS PRESSURE
INSURANCE MEN WITNESS DE ADMINISTRATION OF WATER PRES
 SURE AND "HITcH-uP."

TUCSON, Oct. 23.-For the benefit Of the insurance rate adjusters, who are again on a visit to this city, the fire department was called upon yes terday to demonstrate the water pres sure in the city and also the time it takes to get the horses into harness and ready for the run in case of fire. The men seemed well pleased with the exhibition and although they did not commit themselves as to what bearing it would have on any pos sible changes in the rates, the local business men and others who wit messed the tests are perfectly satis- fled that a general reduction in the rates will be had.
 The insurance adjusters were here several weeks ago on similar mis- sion. At that time, they made a thorough inspection of the buildings, etc. It is expected that the result of their investigations will be known here soon.

LAND SOUGHT
 AF1ER LARGELY BY SETTLERS
Yuma Expects Influx of Vast Throng All Anxious to Get Slice of Indian Lands
 Thrown Open in February

PHOENIX, Oct, 22-Coincident with the visit of Secretary of Interior Bal finger to Arizona comes the announce ment that the long-looked-for opening of the Yuma reservation lands will begin February 5th next.
 During the next three months Yuma will experience steady arri- val of land seekers and investors. bent on getting into the game early.
 It is estimated that not less than 100. .OO0 home-seekers will want to file on $40 acres of land which will be thrown open on February 5, and as there must be many thousands who carnot hope to be successful. as but 472 people can draw 20 acres each, it is a necessary conclusion that there will be many thousands of purchasers of land both improved and unimprov- ed under the Yuma project.
 One of the facts brought out for the first time by the announcement just received from Washington is that the petition of the Yuma Indians for 10 acres each as against acres or iginally intended has been allowed. and 600 Indians will now get COCO acres and the white settlers s440 acres.
 Those who have been watching the progress of the Yuma section now de clare that the opening of these lands is the key to the future; that but one other thing remains to be done and that is the early construction oi the syphon under the Colorado river bringing with it gravity water for the Yuma valley, and that nothing then can prevent the beginning of an era of great prosperity

TIE INSURGENTS IF ARIZONA
 JEALOUS
PRESIDENT PUT cRIMP IN THEIR AMBITIONS AND THERE IS
 MUCH JEALOUSY.

PHeENIx, Oct. 2S-Things are not moving as nicely in Republican official circles in this hot bed of insurgency as they were before the presidents visit. Much heartburn ing and jealousy has been aroused in official and unofficial circles by the action of Governor Sloan. Secre- tary George A. Young, who is not a friend of either Ssoan or Kibby never loses an opportunity to hit the Sloan administration a blow. Young is quite an able wire puller and is quiet Iy backed up by J. c. Adams and vario1s other Republican leaders. Tke consequence is that during Sloan s absence with President Taft he wia be removed from office as far as these people are concerned. Audi tor Foster is again a disturber, he is now engaged in belittling Adams and his management of the fair, besides various other grievances he has up his sleeve. The only two Republican officials who are sitting serenely back and enjoying the approaching fight are Frank Parker, register of the Iald office and Charles Arnold, receiver of the same office. These gentlemen are on the outside attend ing to business and looking out for their offices. MT. Arnold is a close friend of Charles P. Taft, the pres ident's half brother, and he is a par ticulaSy strong man in the admins. tratien. The Democrats are watch ing the progress of the combat and enjoying it immensely. The next few weeks will bring about some polit ical diselaims that will be of inter est 10 your readers.

Other Lands to Open

Register Frank Parker today re- ceived from Land Commissioned Den nett of Washington, D. C.. an order opening for entry the lands lying north of the Arizona canal that the department of interior recently an nounced would be returned. These lands were withdrawn sey- eral months ago by the reclamation service when it was supposed that they might be necessary to carry out the Roosevelt project.
 According to the order sent by Commissioner Dennett to the Phoe- nlx land office. the lands will be thrown open to filing on January 5, but will not be open to settlement until February following.
 According to the conditions, this land can be taken up either under the desert land or the homestead act, and settlers will be permitted to file on as much as 320 acres. The four teen-month communication rule will prevail, and those who prefer to buy the land in that manner will not have to wait the five years otherwise re quired.
 Estimates of the land that has been returned by the government runs as high as 150,000 acres. The area in '
 cludes Paradise valley. which is con sidered rich in agricultural possibili l ties. Experts say that plenty of wa ter can be obtained in wells. This land will not be irrigated by the Roosevelt dam, which account:
 for its being turned back by the gov iernment.

THRONG WILL ID HOMAGE TO
 GARCIA

DOUGLAS, Oct. 28.-(special)- )-I
 Robert Rae, of the auditing depart ment of Phelps. Dodge & company, returned this morning from Nacozari, where he had been for several days on business.
 MT. Rae stated that the citizens ana officials of Nacozari were look ing forward to the seventh of Novem- ber as an important event in the his tory of that town. On that day the handsome monument which has been erected in memory of Jesus Lopez. the hero who lost his life in saving the lives of hundreds, will be unveIl- ed with fitting ceremonies. Governor Tcrres. of Sonora, with members of his official staff, will be present at the monument unveiling and it IS expected that representative officials of the national government will come from the city of Mexico to do honor to the hero Garcia.
 The day will be observed as holi- day, as it will be the second ami versary. of the day on which Garcia made the noble sacrifice of his fife to save the property of the Mocte- zuma Copper company and the lives of the inhabitants of Nacozari.
 The details of the historic act are familiar to the people of the south west Garcia was an engineer on the narrow gauge railroad which reaches the PHares mine from Nacozari. On the seventh day of November, 1907, he was at Nacozari making up a train for Pilares. Two cars of dyna- mite had been coupled to the engine when one was discovered to be on fire. having caught from some burn ing straw Garcia saw that an explo- sior of the dynamite would mean the total destruction of the enEire plant of the Moctezuma Copper company ana the destruction of many lives in the town. Warning everyone to get out of the way he jumped on the en zine and started for teh top of the divide between Nacozari and Pilares Before he reached the to of the hil where he could leave the train the ex pIosion occurred. blowing the train t' atoms and killing Garcia and severa others who were at section hous' nearby.
 Such a hero is worthy of all tha is being done. at Nacozari in reyeT ence Of his memory.
