Mr.. DAVIS SUES.
Largest StocI1holder in Parlhurst-
Davis Company Secures Injunction.

Judge Dana of the district court has
issued an order restraining j. A Ran
ney, George w. Parkhurst and Mrs.
Lou Sproat from disposing of a suf-
fcient number of shares of the stock
in the Parkhurst-Davis firm to divert
the business of the firm to Arkansas
City where a branch of the firm is
maintained. The firm was organized
in 1899 and until 1900 w. H. Davis
held the controlling number of shares
of stock. At that time he sold 73
shares of the Topeka stock to J. s.
Sproat and twenty-three shares in the
branch house at Arkansas City with
the understanding that he should have
an opportunity to purchase them at
any time Mr.. Sproat wished to dispose
of them.
In the petition filed by Mr. Davis
the claim is made that the minority
stockholders are attempting to divert
the business of the firm in Topeka to
Arkansas City with a view of closing
up the affairs of the firm in this city.
To this Mr.. Davis objects and has ap-
pealed to the courts for assistance in
establishing the firm in Topeka.
The firm which Mr.. Davis has been
at the head of since its organization
has been most successful one in
spite of the serious losses which it has
sustained by fires and foods. Twice
within five years the establishment has
been wiped out of existence by fires
which have entailed a loss of nearly
half million of dollars.
On three different occasions the
Kaw has left its banks and flooded the
district in which the Parkhurst-Davis
building was located causing a loss of
something like an additional 100000.
Mr.. Davis petition indicates that a
conspiracy exists to freeze him out and
place the control of the institution in
the hands of the minority stockhold-
ers.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK. June s.-The securities
market in New York today was replete with
sensations and the causes lying back OF the
various demonstrations made by the price
movements were kept yelled from public
knowledge.
That such causes existed and were OF sub
stantial nature was taken for granted on
account of the convincing evidence pre-
scented by the tape itself 1t will be diff
cult to conceive Of any such reckless and
prodgal lavishing Of resources as would be
Involved in a purely manipulative move
ment IN Southern Pacific such as its upward
rush of more than six points on dealings OF
5000 shares.
Neither is 1t supposable that this demand
was due to any sudden realization on the
part of a large public of the merits of the
Southern Pacific shares. The principal
buying Of the stock, moreover came in
enormous blocks from individual brokerage
houses.
These features OF the movement pro-
NOTED the inference that the buying came
from persons informed of some forthcoming
plan involving the finances or organization
of the company. Rumors dwelt on the
likelihood of a coming increase in the divi-
dend on the common stock Much was
heard also of an intended retirement of the
preferred stock. The exchange of preferred
stock for common would deprive the former
of its prior claims to per cent dividends
but 1t would entitle It to share in any divi-
dend disbursement above that amount
The senior company. Union Pacific, was
tardy in responding to the excited advance
to lower price than 1t closed at last night
Later in the day It came into the move
ment more fully. Before the Southern Pa
cine movement became fully effective in its
sympathetic influence the general list
some degree Of apprehension existed over
the market conditions presented by the
syndicate plan for introducing United States
