Death Of Rogers Has But Slight
Effect on Prices.
c. 80. TOUCHES NEW HIGH RECORD
Only Amangamated Copper, conso'l-
dated Gas and ST. Paul Are Al
fected BY Maenate's Death-steel
Stocks Are ConspicuousIy Strong.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK. Nav l9.-The stock
market has rarely met the death Oh
a capitalist of foremost prominence
with as little disturbance as was
caused by the sudden death TINS
morning by II. II. Rogers. 1t was
concluded from this that there was
little ground for the anxiety protested
for several days past that the spec
ulatlve position had become unstable
and vulnerable. From passive resist
ance 10 depression the tone passed
to positive strength. Prices nave
suffered more serious setbacks often
on rumOrs of Mr.. Rogers death or
illness than happened today.
Mr.. Rogers has represented the
figure OF the vaguely defined Stand
ard Oil group" which is the mos
potent of all the dimly apprehended
forces which work concealed frop
view and supposedly armed with the
most complete knowledge of condi-
ti0ns and control over their reguia-
ton. The sudden removal of such
q force may have a disastrous conse-
quence TO a speculative position. The
extreme effect today was measured
by a decline of 3-S in the price OF
shares of Amalgamated Copper, OF
which company Rogers was president,
and of 9 Is in Consolidated Gas and
| in st. Paul, in which he was d.
rector. The reason for this imper-
turbability quickly came TO he under
stood in the general withdrawal OF
Mr.. Rogers from stock exchange OPP
erations of late years. His engross-
ment with his pet project of the Vir-
ginian Railway diverted all his at
tention.
United States Steel, of which Mr.
Rogers was a director, was conspicu-
ously strong today. rising through its
previous record price of SO "a IL
SO "a. Chesapeake and Ohio at so
also touched new record never be-
fore reached by that stock. The
movement in steel was attributed to
the restoration of wages by the in
dependent steel companies and the
differences drawn from that action as
to the returning profits of the indus
try even at the lowered prices at
which the recent heavy orders have
been booked News from the copper
trade continued very encouraging.
Crop news was considered favorable
in consequence of the rise in the
price of wheat.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value s4.772.000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call Total
sales today were $4,000, including

greater courage and today we voice
it forth with the full realization
that better times. shall come. This
greater feast of October
In the days that have gone we
have suffered much, but also we
have achieved much. To us is the
great contentment of our labor. the
recognition that we have done our
work and faced our problems and
obstacles with the spirit of the true
San Franeiscans.
And now the backbone of our
work is accomplished and we gath
er together for our play. Yet, in
our very play let US make our
selves known to the world, which,
with more or less skepticism, has
watched us at our work I am con-
fident that the name Portola is go
ing TO wake the world All the
sons of California shall hear of it
and all the sons of California shall
come to. join us in our festivities
and with them shall come those
others to whom the spirit of good
fellowship, of laughter and of good
feeling appeals.

with those which will be here dur

all remember the memorable oc-
casion on which the California
volunteers left for the seat of war.
We remember the crowds which
thronged the streets and, perhaps.
we remember the great difficulty of
accommodating this vast number
during those days.
We were not fully prepared then.
Let US be prepared during the fes-
tival of Portola. Let Ii be under
stood that the city of San Fran
cisco has arranged for a good time.
and let it be understood. also, that
those who come to US during those
happy days are looking for a good
time. The city has won for itself
reputation for hospitality and
kindness. 1t is for the city to
maintain It and that, am sure.
Will be no difficult task in the face
or the enthusiasm and kindliness
which has been displayed here to-
night.
In so doing we will not alone be
maintaining the name which the
founders of the city gave to us. but
we will aid in the upbuilding of

own material benefit I have not the
slightest doubt. BY our actions
we shall make known that the city
that was dead now lives. having In
its new birth discarded much of
that which was detrimental and
acquired much that is to our credit.
Let 1t be our aim to show to

their lips, and in their hearts a

WALTER MACARTHUR'S ADDRESS
Walter A. Macarthur opened wit
the words of Grant: Let us hav
peace" Continuing, he said:
The crowning glory of Grants
career. the act which proclaimed
him pre- eminently a brave man,
lies in the utterance OF the senti-
ment of peace, as, with outstretched
hand, he greeted his honorable
though vanquished foe at Apo
mattox.
In voicing the sentiment of
peace as the keynote of the occa-
sion and of the festival which we
are assembled to tnaugurate we
strike no minor or discordant note
in the progress of those events
which engage the activities of
our everyday lives. While in
voking the spirit of peace. har--
occasion in view, we sound no sig
nal of retreat upon any matter
concerning which public opinion
may be divided. We can not all
be agreed upon all matters, but we
can at least determine that we
disagree only so far as we must.
Let us therefore unite for the
purpose of this occasion without
reference to our respective atti-
out reference to social or indus
trial relationship or Affiliations
with reference only to the common
interests and responsibilities of our
common citizenship and with an
eye single to the advancement of
San Francisco in the hearts of her
own people and in the esteem of
the world.

that principle alone we have a
right. as 1t Is our duty, to speak
we'll of San Francisco. In addi-
tion to the considerations of local
pride we enjoy the blessing and
incentive Of city which, whether
regarded from the point of view
of natural beauty or, as a work of
human hands, may well challenge
the admiration of the world. These
characteristics of our city justify
us In extending to our fellow citi-
zens in other localities an invita-
ton to take part with us in honor
ing a name and an event in our
history to which we owe our proud
heritage of the present day. The
inspiration of the Portola festival
honors both the past and the pres
ent. Every citizen ought to share
that inspiration and lend his eff
forts to make the most of it.
AS city of great natural advan-
tages, both in scenic and material
respects, as a center of industry
and enlightenment, as the great cos
mopolitan metropolis of the west.
the fame of San Francisco has long
been as wide as the world itself.
Today these characteristics are
more and really known and ad-
mired than ever before and are be-
coming more and more the theme
of admiring comment among the
peoples of all lands and localities.

how the name of Portola should be
and he dwelt with the sub
ject as long as it offered himself or his
audience amusement.
Edgar Peixotto, in referring to the
results, both financial and artistic, to
be obtained from such a carnival, said
San Francisco is rehabilitated.
The old spirit of levity and pleas
ure, the love of art and of carni-
val again holds sway and there
seems to be a general demand from
all parts of San Francisco that we,
like other leading cities, should
have a, season OF carnival. / have
witnessed the carnival of Rome,
the great regatta of Venice, the
celebrations of the 14th of July in
Paris, the mardi gras of New Or
leans, the yelled prophets fete of
st. Louis and the fete of roses and
flowers at our sister cities of Los
Angeles and Santa Barbara. These
events form the topic for other and
more eloquent speakers.
FAyORs CARNIVAL SEASON
Why should not the pleasure low
ing people of San Francisco who
live in the open most all of the
year. whose climate welcomes
them out of doors at every season
and whose atmosphere is exhilara-
tion itself. have their carnival sea-
son and their fete?

Gus foreign powers, representatives
of all the classes and conditions of
this great community of San Fran

to bring about a successful celebra-

We must absolutely keep in mind
that this is a celebration of the
people, for the people and by the
people. 1t is as broad as the com
munity is large, it knows no class.
no creed. no individual. It's scope
is as broad as the broadest princi-
pies of good fellowship. Let us all
unite from all corners of the state
to make this event commemorative
of the valiant Spanish officer. first
discoverer of the beautiful bay of
San Francisco, an event that shall
out glory all of the many brilliant
events of the past and one that
shall be so endeared in the hearts
of the people that each year it shall
be repeated Thus will new luster
be added to the name of San Fran
