WALL STREET TO-DAY.

New York June 2-Price movements were mixed at the opening, some issues making substantial gains. During the first fifteen minutes the trading was irregular and during this period Amal- gamated, Anaconda and a few others lost fractionally. St; Louis Southwest ern was strong.
 II a. m.-After the moderate upward movement in the early part of the first hour, the market met with a supply of stocks from some important sources, causing a sharp reaction in which prices declined about one roint. Read ing was under the greatest pressure, dropping nearly two points and con- siderable weakness was shown for a time in Amalgamated and Steel Com mon. The declines brought in some important orders and in the late fore noon the market steadied again and showed some degree of strength. Lon don sold Steel Common to a small ex- tent but bought other International stocks. the purchases exceeding the sales by 15,00O shares.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds strong.
 Noon.-The stock market continued irregular around noon and in the early afternoon activity was noted in the leading issues. Reading was one of the weakest features falling below 145 with many stop orders at that price. On the decline three or four large lines of stocks were disquieted and the room traders helped along the downward movement by offering securities at continued recessions.

INSPECTORS ASH
 DOPE BRINGS GAG
 RULE FROM BOARD

No more may the inspectors and other servants of the board of health of divers kinds and tenures of office, recently so numerous. be permitted to babble at discretion the imposing news Of garbage colieetions --eoor yards un- cleaned and ashes in stately heaps. Ut was inspectorial talk about ashes that made the trouble. There was so much ashes in the news apparently uttered by the authority of the health board the taxpayers got the idea that an expensive ash collection scheme was in the works. Worse than this, some of these taxpayers com municated their views to the Farmer, with the result that the ash collecting plan fell, and is yet falling. OhI such a hard fall And so, at the meet ing of the board last night, Health Commissioner George Kelly introduced a resolution providing that all infor- nation relating to the affairs of the board shall thenceforth come from the president. Did it pass? Indeed it did. If it suffices, well and good. If it does not do the work, why then, the board can make a rule that every employe shall wear a muzzle of the latest pattern warranted to hold the upper and lower teeth firmly togeth- CT.
 Of course the members of the board feel that the utterances of it's em- ployes should, not be received as it's official utterances.

GORE RAPS NEW ENGLAND COTTON
 MANUFACTURERS
Blind Senator Throws Broadside Into Senator Lodgesfor Those Fabulous Dividends.
Special from United Press1

Washington. June 2-The fabulous dividends, as he called them, of New England cotton manufacturers, was the theme of a vigorous speech deliver ed by Gore, Democrat, Okla) in the Senate to-day. The broadside was in reply to Senator Lodge, who said in speech yesterday that the average dividends were ordinarily six or seven per cent. and several incidents of very nigh dividends were due to real estate transactions.
 These New England companies, said Gore, referring to the subject sar- castically, have done a thrifty real estate business in the past ten years. Then the Oklahoma Senator quoted statistics to support his theory, of fabulous dividends.
 No wonder they say the Dingley law is satisfactory to them,' he con- tinued. 4I don't call them robbers or bad citizens; they are intelligent men, Judging by their business success. complain of the laws that make such conditions possible The farmers of the west are taxed to pay high wages to workmen in these mills with whom they could not converse"
 Senator Nelson. of Minnesota follow ed Gore in a further denunciation of the cotton schedules of the Aldrich bill. He said he expected his state ments to have little effect in the Sen ate and that, right or wrong, the fin ance committee WOuld prevail 4de de- clared emphatically that in the west the tariff plan in the Republican plat form was taken to mean revision down ward. ='I have heard much,' he said, about hastening the work of this bill: that business is waiting. It need wait There will be no downward revision and the only. thing business people need wait to see is how high rates will go so that they can raise up their goods accordingly"
 Nelson denied that the Aldrich rates were intended merely to conform to customs decisions and declared that they were an increase over the exist ing Dingley rates in various grades of cotton cloth of from 1 to 21 per cent

They are holding the "L" road men in re- serve. they say, and Timothy Healy, president of the International Brother hood of Stationary Bremen, stands ready to call out, the Rapid Transit firemen who belong to his union.
 Charges of attempted bribery have been made by the street railway strik- CTS leaders. c. O. Pratt. chairman of the national executive board of the Garments Union, who is here in com ,mand of the strike, made the state ment that he had been offered $25,000 to give up the leadership of the strik- CTS and leave the city. This statement was denied by the Rapid Transit of ficials, as was another charge of att tempted bribery by another union man who said he had been offered S1 900 by a transit detective to induce the strik- CTS on the Willow Grove line to return to work There are persistent rumors today that the ice wagon drivers and other unions are going out in sympa- thy with the carmen, but these cannot be verified

An Exceedingly Warm But Very Happy Meeting of Investigators Disclosed
 No Harmony
Something is Going to Break" Says One-''We May Get Together" De clares Another - Chair man Day Alone Can Dis solve Veil of Mystery, and He Refuses to Do It.

There was an exceedingly warm ses- sion last night of the council commit tee appointed to investigate the Board of Charities to see if it needs inves- tigation. Unless the views of the members become more harmonious be- fore the next meeting occurs there will be two reports. One report will be a caustic criticism of the Charities department and it's methods. The other, it is said, will indicate that this department has been guilty of noth- ing of which other boards of the city are not also guilty.
 'Of course we may get together" another member of the committee. but it doesn't look like it now.''
 Something is going to break" said another members of the committee. "You just watch out.'
 It was very late session that the committee held. It was an executive session and everything was myster- ious, very mysterious. Even today the proceedings were shrouded in mist and mystery. It had been voted that nobody was to talk about what was done except the chairman, and he pos itively refused to talk at all, except that he admitted it was a long meet ing.
 'was it a happy meeting?" Chair man Day was asked.
 Very happy he replied.

PRESIDENT ALLING PROTESTS AGAINST
 PUBLIC UTILITIES
Head of Southern, New Eng land Telephone Go. Makes It Plain that He Wants No Such Legislation En- Y. acted in Connecticut.

f Especial from United Press.)
 New Haven, June 2.-Declaring the flood tide which brought on the move ment for state control of public cor Porations has ceased and pointing to Governor Hughes course in refusing to place the telephone companies Of New York under a, state commission, President John w. Alling, of the Southern New England Telephone Company to-day addressed a commu- nication to the legislature at Hartford protesting against the enactment of such legislation in Connecticut He said:
 "It remains always and eternally true that business will be best car ried on by it's owner It is the height of folly to put the control of telephone rates with a state commission whose officers must in the long run be the footballs of party play Out of six teeen states where the question has come up, but two have decided in fa- vor of a commission. It is the ebb tide of the movement and we trust this state will keep to her old moor ings.
 Power in a commission to make rates will interfere with and. destroy our policy of direct and harmonious dealing with our telephone users; the rates sooner or later would become in flexible; conflict and litigation would enSue; capital would take fright; sources of new capital would dry up and we would realize that the last condition would be worse than the fan cied evils of the first. The effect of rate making power of the Interstate Commerce Commission has been to sweep out of existence, the carrying Of American freight in American ships across the Pacific Ocean; it has de- stroyed old and we'll established channels of industry and commerce. The spirit of the movement augurs badly for it's success"

StratfOrd Authorities Have Accumulated Evidence to Show Speed of Yale
 Mans Car.
Examiner Downs Has Given Certificate of Death of Young Christian sen, But Will Take No Further Action in View of Investigation by Grim inal Authorities.

Whatever may be the result of the criminal proceedings against Joel Ellis Fisher, the Yale student whose speed ing automobile killed ten-year-old Mau- rice Christiansen, yesterday, he will be the defendant in damage suit brought by the father of the boy un- less a settlement is reached out of court. This was the statement made today by persons in a position to know.
 Fisher pleaded not guilty when ar- raigped before Justice Charles H. Peck in Stratford, last evening The case at o'clock. A bond of s3, 900 was fur nished for Fishers appearance by Po- lice Commissioner James J. Hurley. Fisher has engaged Judge Carl E. Eos ter of this city his counsel.
 Grand Juror David L. Rhoades will present the evidence for the State. He las secured witnesses to the fact that the boy was tossed at least 25 feet after being struck, and there are sew eral witnesses who have ideas as to the rate of speed the car was travelling when it struck the child.
 It is believed that Fishers defence will be that he footed his horn but that the din of a passing express train it. The fact that Fisher rislxed the life of himself and his travelling com panion, Harry Hartwell, of Danbury, in colliding with a telegraph pole and wrecking his car trying to avoid strik- ing the child, is also in his favor.
 Police Commissioner Hurley, who placed Fisher under arrest in this city and took him to Stratford, was so much impressed with Fishers appear ance that he furnished a real estate bond for his appearance Saturday.
 Fisher is IT years of age. His mother is very wealthy and resides at 34 West 76th' street, New York. sE
 Medical Examiner Downs has given a certificate of death. He said to- day that he would take no further ac- tionN in the case because the Stratford authorities have taken the matter in hand and wiH r-dkeS any investigation that is necessary.
 TWO CRIMES AND BAH. Editor of the Farmer
 Is there one law for the rich and another for the poor in Connecticut? Last week four men were arrested for robbing the iron yard of Secretary of State M. 1T. Rogers of $200 worth of brass. The bond in each case was 1,500, or a total of $6,O00 to cover a S20O crime against society. Over in Stratford yesterday a rich young man from New York ran down the ten year-old son of a poor carpenter and killed him. The bond in this case was fixed at s3,00O.
