The sensation OF the day on the local
exchange was the advance in Washing

high OF 1903. II closed yesterday at 1914
and this noon moved UP 10 70 and closed
very strong.
Washington financial interests are at
sea as to the cause of this sharp ad-
vance. They have a story we'll told.
that the head of the gas company pur-
chased a big block of the stock a few
days ago at better than the highest
price here. This followed by the buying

thing was doing.

The Washington Stock Exchange
closed the calendar year with a record
of 1905 shares OF stock sold and
s., lbs, $50 face value OF bonds traded in.
The record IS probably greater than
that Of last year. although there are
no comparative figures at hand. The
year has been characterized by cOnsid-
cradle activity in the various fractions
stocks, by a sensational furry I'm Wash

and 79Is. The movement was one of the
largest and although 1t seemed to col
lapse at one time, it is evident at this
time that the Gas Company is planning
for something that will help the stock.
The only possible move that can be
made without the consent Of Congress
would be the payment of an extra divi-

some resentment On the part OF Con-
gress. 1t advanced today to 70 or 3
points.
The feature Of the year was the offer
ing of S1.4SO,OOO Traction 3 per cent
bonds. This issue with the resultant
price premium of $135 a thousand was
a large issue to be absorbed by a mar
ket no broader than Washington's. And
vet that this big issue was absorbed
without much trouble is an Indication
of the growing market.
The Potomac Consolidated per cent
bonds were listed on Change and the

theory that II was being advanced to

GRAND OPERA HOUSE
IS NOW ASSURED
HammerStein's Project Re-
ceiveS More Impetus
For Building.

Unless some unexpected event occurs
20 upset all plans, a grand opera house
for Washir yton is assured within the
next two years
Assurances received in washington
from various independent actor-mana-
gers, and from oscar Hammerstein.
point to a rounding out Of plans for a
structure on Connecticut avenue, near
/ street. in the near future.
The greatest factor in adding conf
dence to the grand opera house project
was the receipt Of messages from per-
sons who wish TO play in a theater
wholly Independent, either Of the trust
or Shubcrt control. While the Shu-
berts themselves are among the allies
Of Mr.. Hammerstein, that would not
deter the independents. as they are per
fectly willing to Join with the brothers
in opposition TO the syndicate, but do
not want to appear to be rallying under
the Shubert flag.
Started by FaveTsham.
The idea OF bringing the independ-
ent theatrical managers into the fold
was brought about. il is understood,
by William Faversham- That actor
playing at the Belasco this week. is
said to have been attracted by the
discussion OF the Shubert- Hammer
stein alliance, and to have offered to
join in the move II IS believed that
he and other subscribers may be OBJ
tanned from the ranks Of the indie
pendents.
With the growing confidence that an
opera house IS a possibility for Wash
tngton discussion Of plans for the col
lection of funds is taking shape.
The plan proposed is to make the
theater a self-sustaining building 10 be
used at stated intervals by the opera
company and the rest of the time 10
be divided between the Shuberts and the
independent attractions IL Is believed
that this arrangement would guarantee
a dividend TO stockholders.
To Increase Subscriptions.
In order to make subscribers TO the
auditorium fund started several years
ago look with FAVOR upon the combina-
ton project II is proposed to give each
subscriber Of 800 one seat for a stated
number OF grand opera performances.
This arrangement would only hold good
during the first year Of grand opera
here.
The total estimated investment is es-
timated at $4,000, and OF this. HAM
merstein viii probably furnish 50 per
cent. N-I
The promoters OF the scheme have not
yet given UP hope Of getting the Gov
eminent to subscribe a subsidy, not TO
exceed $1,000 for every week opera is
given, in order to encourage the opera
project.

Chief OF Police Charles T. Goods re-
ports that there were 1852 prisoners
confined at the station house during
the year 1903. and that 1854 dodgers
were accommodated during the same
length OF time. a curious coincidence
IS the fact that exactly the same num-
Der of dodgers were accommodated dur
ing 1903 and 1908. and that there were
only seven more prisoners during 1909
than during 1903.

ed as saving that the other officers OF
the bank have been negligent as the
irregularities date back to 1893 and
should have been discovered long De
fore this. 1t is believed that the tes-
timony he gave before the jury was
unfavorable to the other directors OF
the bank and that for that reason
Allen was called.
Aliens departure from Madison was
known to only a few persons. Mr.
Appleby arrived in the city at 12:20

ANGLO-GERMAN
UNDERSTANDING
AUSTRIAN EMPEROR ASKED TO
MAKE REPRESENTATio
TO GERMANY.

Berlin, Nov 6-The possibility OF
an Anglo-German understanding ap-
pears to be under consideration in
government circles. Failure to reach
such an understanding heretofore has
been attributed to Great Britain. Aft
err Sir Charles Hardinge, under secre-
tary for the British foreign office,
failed to obtain a satisfactory reply
to his suggestion made at the meet
ing between King Edward and En-
peror William at Kronberg, King Ed
ward is understood to have tried to
persuade the emperor of Austria,
whom he met at Ischl, to make
friendly representations to Germany.
The author of an anonymous com
munication to The KrueZzeitung yes
terday asked what can be done to re-
store among the British a feeling of
security against German invasion and
SO silence the mischievous agitation
concerning the naval preparations OF
both countries. Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's rather obscure
hints to Vienna" says the CORE
spondent, would seem to indicate
| that he is dwelling upon this question
and that it is Germany's turn to make
counter proposal, having considered
the British suggestion unacceptable.

Although well known to the f1nan-

benevolent works, Mr. Kennedy's way
of doing business and doing good was
so quiet that the public heard little

public.
