PROFESSIONAL SPECTATORS
ARE FILLED With SUSPICION.
Developments Bearing on Financial Out
look Keep Stock Market Valuations Con-
stantly on the Move=-=Demand Grow
ing for Funds to Move Crops.

New York. Aug. I5.-The develop
meDts bearing on the financial outlook
were of sufficient Importance last week
to keep stock market valuations in a
constant state of fiuctuation in the
attempt to guaSe the situation. The
professional attitude towards the mar
ket was one of constant suspicion and
watchfulneSS for reaction. The free
dom with which this suspicion was act
ed on in the way of selling stocks short
only to be compelled to buy them in at
higher prices accounted for part Of the
recurrent strength of the whole market
The scepticism manifested by the pro-
fessional operators in the market was
not due to any unsatisfactory news at
fectng values. but solely to the tech
meal position. The close apprOXima-
ton of the price level to the highest
record of New York Stock Exchange
prices made in 1906 was itself an Of
ten cited reason for being on guard.
The present level of prices while
Somewhat below the average for the
picked active stocks touched in 1906 Is
held to represent a higher absolute
range than ever before touched. The
former average included the inflated
prices touched by several of the Great
Northern railroad systems in connec-
ton with valuable subscription rights
to new stock issues and the distribu-
ton of the Great Northern's iron mine
properties to it's stockholders.
Another ground for the opposition of
the habitual traders to the advance
is the number of important happenings
which have come to pass after having
long served their purpose as factors in
the speculation. 1t was this element
in the speculation which attacked the
market when the tariff bill was passed,
results following the bill to be brighter
than spectators had been taking for
granted while buying stocks. The
same procedure was followed after the
publication of the government crop
report.
While there was some momentary
disappointment over the sharp deterio-
ration in the condition of the corn
crop, the government crop report on
maturer consideration served to clinch
the conviction that agricultural pros
perity was assured for the season.
Even the impaired cotton crop was be-
lieved to be materially bettered by the
rains reported in the Texas region. The
agricultural prospect thereafter assert
ed renewed potency in the stock
speculation and helped materially in
raising the price level to new attitudes.
Another field Of marked Frightening
of conditions was in the copper indus
try. The brilliant trade conditions in
the steel industry suffer no impairment

DOUBLE SHOOTING.
Nellie Miller shpotssweet-
heart at Lewiston.
Then Turns Revolver on Her.
self, Firing Twice.
Both in HospitaI...Ae May Recover
-..her Condition Critical.

Lewiston, Me, Aug 15.-(SpeciaD.-
Nellie Miller, aged 20, a domestic, to-
night shot Charles Booker, 2S, a shoe
maker, through the abdomen with a
.S8-calibre revolver and then turned
the weapon on herself, shooting her
self twice through the neck. Both We're
aminations it was announced that
Booker would probably recover while
Miss Miller is in a very serious cond-
ton and the outcome of her injuries
is very doubtful.
The shooting took place at the resi-
dence of the young mans mother
What caused the trouble is not known,
but Booker has been attentive to Miss
Miller for some time and it is believed
that either a lovers quarrel or jealousy
prompted the deed. Neither OF them
would make any statement in regard
to the affair.
Booker and Miss Miller We're in a
room by themselves and Mrs. Booker
was in an adjoining room. The latter
heard Miss Miller eXclaim: Il will
shoot you" and before she could get
into the room there was a report of 4
revolver and her son fell with a bullec
wound in the abdomen. Miss Miller
then ran from the house into the street.
where she stopped and fired two shots
at herself, both taking effect in the
neck.
An ambulance was hastily summoned
and the two injured We're hurried to
the hospital. where their injuries were
treated after the physicians had made
as careful an examination as possible
in order to locate the bullets and learn
just how serious had been their effect.
So far as they could discover, the bull
let which had penetrated Booker's ah-
domen had not punctured any of the
vital organs and it is believed that he
has at least a fair show for recovery.
The wounds which Miss Miller in
flcted on herself after reaching the
street We're much more dangerous and
while there is a possibility that she will
recover, her condition is regarded as
critical.

THE PRESENT CUBAN SITUATION
Is Discussed by President With Minister
Velez, Who Is Much Pleased With His
Kindly Interest in the Island.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 15.-In letter
addressed To-Day to Secretary Nagel of
the department of commerce and labor
President Taft served notice that any
man engaged in the taking of the 18th
census of the United States who en-
cages in politics in any way. will i'm
mediately be dismissed from the SER
vice. outside of casting their votes, the
President believes that census super
visors and enumerators should keep
clear of anything that savors of poll
ties. national state or local.
The President orders that the secre-
tary of : commerce and labor and the
director of the census embody in the
regulations governing the taking of
the census the rule so forcibly laid
down in his letter.
Mr. Taft says that in his appointing
census supervisors it has been found
necessary to select men recommended
BIZ senator's and congressman in their
districts. He says he realizes that this
method of selection might easily be
perverted to political purposes and it
is to take the census out of politics SO
far as the actual work is concerned,
that he has explicitly expressed his de-
sires as to the regulations.
President Taft has told the repre-
SentativeS and senators who have
urged various men for census places
that he would insist that no active par
tisan should be named and that no at
tempt should be made to build no Il
political machine in any state or dis
trict through the distribution of the
census patronage.
One hundred and thirty-four addi-
tional Supervisors of the 18th census
were announced today. President Taft
was busy until late last night signing
the commissions of the successful can
didatcs. All together 1S4 of the $50
now have been commits
stoned and Mr. Taft's task is a little
more. tnan half completed. Practically
all of the appointments have been
a greed upon, but some are being held
up temporarily on account of protests

Broadway in this town, and Miss Mar

keeper in his office, also took the trip

When Mrs. Lattimer had been left at
her mothers home Mr. Autran and
Miss Cass together with Mrs. Autran,
ST.. Miss Mary Doyle and Miss Mary

started on the return trip to Boston,
the latter three intending to return to
Pawtucket later by train.
Autran swung out Of the yard and
started to cross Broadway At that
moment the Attleboro electric whizzed
into sight. Autran tried in vain to
