SUSPICION EXCITED
 BY ACTIVE MARKET
The Conditions Nnususl for Such Spurt.

New York, Aug 12.-Speculation in Stocks took on a sudden excess of activity today The appearance of these symptoms after so long a pro- lOngcd advance as had occurred, and with prices also at a high altitude, aroused the suspicion of operators of the professional class, who were keen ly alert for the first signs of rcaction The relapse late in the day was sharp. The buoyancy of Hartman Pacifics grew out of d rumOr that the Union Pacific executive committee had moved to advise an increase in the dividend distribution of the two companies. Reports came from abroad that French houses would participate in the Gould lines and in Pennsyl- vania stock subscriptions. The fever ish action of some stocks increased the suspicion of the technical posi- ton and prompted some heavy un- loading which broke prices badly. Bonds were irregular. Total sales. $7,O73,OOO, United States bonds un- changed.

IN RACE FOR LOCATION
St. Louis Appears to Have the Lead-The Address of Henry M. Nevius, the Re tiring Head of the Organ ization.

Salt Lake, Aug. 12.-Samuel R. Van Sant. former governor of Minnesota became commander-in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic today. He won over Judge William A Ketch- am of Indiana by vote of 5S7 to 1856. Mrs. Jennie L Berry of, Des Moines won in a fight for the national pres idency of the Woman's Relief Corps. After three ballots she was elected ov- CT Mrs Belle Harris of Kansas by a vote of 213 to 90 The grand army's order of business did not provide for the election of officers today but the increasing departure of the delegates warned the encampment that an early vote would be necessary to secure a full expression of the will of the ma jority
 In addition to Commander Van Sant the following officers were elected: Senior vice commander, W. NJ. Bos- taph, of ogden. Utah; junior vice commander. Judge Alfred Beers. of Bristol, Conn; surgeon general W. H Lemon, of Lawrence. Kas. Nomina tions for the office of chaplain were made but the vote was postponed ow- ing to the Iateness of the hour.

 feature of the days proceedings was the address of the retiring com mander- in chief, Henry NJ. Nevins.
 After reviewing the promises he made at the time of his election, Commander-in-c chief Nevins said:
 T have received a warm and cor dial greeting wherever l have gone and found the grand army posts en- thusiastic and doing the best they could under the circumstances prevail ing in their respective localities.
 T was treated with great cordiality upon my visit in the southern depart ments. and in Atlanta, Ga, with the Grand Army of the Republic held a joint meeting with II. Clay Evans, commander in chief of the United States Confederate Veterans, and his organization. The stars and stripes were conspicuous, while the stars and bars were not in evidence. Our open discussion upon the family trouble eX- isting between the northern and southern states, and between the men upon the firing line on both sides was most pleasant. I met the confederate veterans again in DenisOn. Texas, and at a public meeting there I divided the time with them upon the platform. I met them also at Birmingham, Ala, and I am satisfied from all I could see, and hear, and learn, that the men who stood upon the firing lines in the southern confederacy had had enough of the war and were willing to support the government of the United States, and that were it not for others who did not participate in that great strug- gle, but who are still laboring to keep alive the lost cause, there would be no difficulty in cenenting the bonds of union between north and south.
 Tt is impossible to state our nUmer ical strength on June 30,1909, but on December 30, 1907, members in good standing numbered 225,157."
