Some Forcefu Measures Brought Out
to Protect Prices succeeded
Fairly Well.

| New York, June 16.--The unsettle
ment in the stock market which start
ed yesterday closed to such length To-
day as to bring out forcible measures
for the profession Of prices from finan-
ciers interested in maintaining values
| United States Steel was the center
of disturbance and for greater actiF
fifty in dealings Reports from Paris
over night seemed 10 confirm the ru'
NOR current for several days that the
effort to secure the admission of Uni
| ted States Steel to the Paris Bourse
| had failed through the refusal of the
government official whose consent is
necessary.
The disturbing effect OF this report
and the acute weakness of United
States Steel particularly was con-
tested by paweful buying orders fo-
the stock designed to support the
price, and by renewed assurances from
the j. p. Morgan account of their
confidence tnat the plan Tor introdu-
ClUS lHiltu oldlth Otttl w lliG dl'p
bourse would be carried out.
The open pressure or steel shares
forced them down to C53s, 13s lower
than yesterdays closing price. and I
points below the high level touched
Monday.
The whole list showed sharp de-
clines during the morn:ng, being sub.
jected to the pronounced pressure of
the liquidation. The support which
checked the decline In itself put
stop to much selling and the scramble
of the bears to cover aided materially
in the purpose of those seeking to
protect prices.
The effect of the Paris news on
steel was enhanced by reports of the
determination of the tin plate work
ers with the corporation to strike.
President Taft's proposed 2 per ceut
tax on the earnings OF corporations
and the recommendation to submit 2
constitutional amendment permitting
a tax on incomes were not especially
relished in themselves in the prevail
ing stock market view
The constituencies on the subject oi
corporation pursuit has grown keener
with the widespread discussion given
the affair of the American Sugar Re-
finng Company. There is some ap-
prehension that this discussion and az
itation may prejudice the final settle
nent of the tariff schedules. gooG
effect was produced Dy the quick sale
repdted ny purchasing bankers OF
$25 100000 st, Paul debenture bonds.
A squirt in Reading to above 155 was
a sustaining factor in the late deal
ings. The activity of the market wa,
much curtailed at partly restored
prices the latter part of the day and
the closing tone was irregular.

SERVED AS HIS tADY'S MAID.
Romantic Manner Of Wooins That
Won Love Of Young Russian
Widow for Her Admircr.

St Petersburg paper publishes
details OF Russian romance in which
figures the wealthy and beautiful
young Baroness Urusoff, the widow Of
distinguished Russian government
official
All the young cavalias OF Moscow
were hopelessly in love with her The
baroness, however. rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
her and lived in perfect seclusion, at
tended only by an elderly relative
Some months ago a young peasant
girl began to visit the residence Of
the baroness, offering the servants
cheap articles for sale Subsequently
the baroness used to buy different ar
ticles from the peasant who was in
telligent, had good manners and con,
siderable conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her serv.
ice as lady's maid She agreed and
discharged her duties to perfection for
a fortnight and then revealed her
seh as NoutlS hhsslau HoDleIhdH
named Maximoff, who, taking sdvan-
tage of his fair hair and complexion,
had masqueraded as a domestic serv-
ant to break down the barriers with
which the beautiful baroness had sur
rounded herself
The baroness was so much i'm
pressed by his extraordinary perse-
verance that she became engaged to
him, and the marriage took place a
few DAYS ago.

MINERS AFTER GILDAY's SCALP
Ask Court to Order Special Conven-
ton of Miners Association.

Pittsburg, Kan. June 16.-The first
legal steps in the courts to GUST Frank
Gilday from the office of state mine
inspector, were taken, when the pre-
siding officers of five local unions of
the United Mine Workers filed in the
district court in the Pittsburg
division, a motion for a writ of
mandamus. The motion asks Judge
Fuller to order James Sherwood of
Miners association, to call special
convention of the association. If a
special convention is held it is the
purpose of those fighting Gilday to
elect new secretary of the associa-
ton to succeed Gilday.
President Sherwood had refused to
issue the call for a special conven-
ton and the action in the courts is to
force him to make the call. The
plaintiffs in the mandamus proceed
ings are James Titus, presiding officer
of local union 1854; Ed Manning. pre-
siding officer of local union 760; w.
8. Brown, presiding officer of local
union 1904; Dan Gates, presiding Of
ficer of local union 2635. The writ
states that it is the duty of the de-
PENDANT as president of the associa-
ton of miners whenever it is SO de-
manded of him by five miners unions
of Kansas to Immediately convene
the delegates to said association by
special CALL the call to be issued in
like manner as the annual call for the
purpose of electing a successor of the

LURAY WAKING UP
Many Beautiful Residences in
Course Of Construction.
Small Fortunes Being Spent
for Modern Homes.
FARMS ARE FERTILE
Owners Are Abandoning Wheat
and Planting Alfalfa.
Poultry and Dairy Products
Source of Large Revenue.

Luray, June 1--we are experience
ing general waking up in this old
conservative community and town, "
said one of the oldest and most sue
cessful business men. Since October
last no less than Is residences have
been completed and under way, many
of them costing from $500 to $4,000
The John B. Markley residence, near
Luray. will be built of stone. modern in
every way. and will cost not less than
$4,000. The new residences of Sherman
Belveal and DR.. J. M Falls are credit
able to towns much older and larger
than Luray.
The Wolf creek valley where I.uray
is built is about two miles wide the
valley is from a mile to six miles wide.
Several other smaller streams in this
vicinity empty into it, and in these
valleys there are hundreds of acres of
alfalfa bottom lands, which viii be
sown to alfalfa. In fact many farmers
say they are going to quit raising
wheat and grow alfalfa. and are in the
future going to make it a meat rath-
er than a wheat center.
That there is a waking up in this
Russell county town the fact that the
real estate firm of Markley & Averili
have transacted more than 100000
worth Of business since the LIST of
March Will Dear TIE StdloiuSIl Oul.
They are talking alfalfa and stock to
newcomers. J. B. Markley, of the firm,
has 1920 acres of land in the Wolf
creek valley, and he is recognized as
one of the big cattle men in Russell
county.
1t is said that the poultry and dairy
ing products pay for the farmers liv-
ing, and more, too. In the month of
April, last, s3,744.9O was paid out by
the merchants Of Luray for eggs alone.
acreage of alfalfa and the growth of
her stock interests there hadn't ought
to be any doubt of the future of Luray
and the Wolf creek valley.
Luray has three elevators, q state
bank, lumber yard, newspaper, hard
ware and implements, and three gen.
eral merchandise firms. The towns
people have been getting on so nicely
that a dozen autos are owned here. The
new $1,000 stone school house to be
erected here this year will be the best
school house in Russell county for the
price.
Luray is one Of the most thrifty trade
centers as it Is one Of the progressive
towns on the Salina & Oakley branch
of the Union Pacific. The herds of cat
tie, alfalfa growing, the valley of Wolf
creek for miles in either direction, and
the large houses and big barns Of the
farmers in any direction one may look
are all as attractive as they can be-
The town has a bright future before
it. Her churches, school houses, miles
of cement walks, hundreds of growing
shade trees and her hospitable people
are drawing cards.
