EXCHANGES

New York, June 16.-The report of
the Committee appointed by Governor
Hughes TO investigate speculation in
securities and commodities and the
organizations used in dealings therein
was made public tonight. The New
York Stock, the Consolidated Stock,
the Cotton. the Produce. the Coffee,
the Mercantile, and the Metal Ex-
changes and the Curb Market were
thoroughly investigated and recon-
mendations looking to improvement
of existing conditions We're made at
length by the Committee. The most
drastic finding is that affecting the
Mercantile and Metal Exchanges, as
follows: "Under present conditions,
We are of the opinion that the Mer-
camille and Metal Exchanges do act
ual harm to producers and consum-
ers, and that their charters should be
repealed"
Concerning speculation in general,
the Committee declares that ii may
be wholly legitimate, pure gambling,
Or something partaking of the quail
ties of both, that in some form 1t is
a necessary incident of productive OPP

prices and thal for the merchant or
manufacturer the speculator per-
forms a service which has the effect
of insurance 'Tn law" says the re-
port, speculation becomes gambling
when the trading which it involves
does not lead, and is not intended to
lead, to the actual passing from hand
to hand of the property that is dealt
in.
"The rules of all the exchanges for
bid gambling as defined by this opin-
ion; but they make so easy a techni-
cal delivery of the property contract
ed for, that the practical effect of
much speculation, in point of form
legitimate. is not greatly different
from that of gambling"
The committee makes no present
ment against short selling but de-
clares the tendency of such selling is
to steady prices. 1t is recommended
that the minimmm margin should be
20 per cent and strong ifsapproval is
expressed of branch brokerage Off
ces which supply liquor and resort to
other improper means to induce spec
uIation.
The New York Stock Exchange.
Taking up the New York Stock Ex-
change, the volume of transactions
thereon is referred to as making 1t
probably the most important financial
institution in the world. it's ''eno-
nous business affecting the financial
and credit interests of the country
in so large measure that It's proper

City Attorney Hansbrough reported
| that he had conferred with j. RI.
Congdon, supervising engineer or the
Oregon Short Line about the cross
ing Of the sewer system under their
tracks, and along the Wye and the
Salmon river branch towards the riv-
Ter. Mr.. Congdon advised locating It
on Court or Bingham street instead
of following the railroad, as the I'M
provements from year to year. the
building of warehouses, etc, near the
tracks would make it necessary To be
digging to connect with the sewer at
many places, and III this could be
avoided they would much prefer it.
The matter was referred to the en-
gineers for consideration.

A question was raised ais to why

Manager Douglas Of the Idaho Con-

and that It was a matter over which
they have MO control. He stated that
he had cut on the current from the

give better lights In the houses, and
that he would deduct enough from

RUSH SHEEP no NEVADA
Band Of $4,000 Starving on the
Winter Range Near American
Falls 4

Pocatello Tribune
Rush orders for so cars for the
transportation of $4,000 head Of
sheep from the winter ranges north
and west OF American Falls have
been sent from the Power City to the
freight department OF the Oregon
Short Line at Salt Lake. Owing to
the continued cold weather and deep
snow In and about American Falls,
many thousand head OF sheep are
starving to death III that region, and
AZ Is the wish OF fi0ckmasters that
the sheep be hurried as quickly ali
possible to Tooele, Utah, for driving
out on the western ranges. The rush
orders for cars followed a letter ad- =
dressed to General Freight Agent
Reeves at Salt Lake City by Joel Il.
Priest, publicity agent for the Short
Line, with headquarters lii Boise, who
keeps in constant touch with condi-
tions In this and other sections Of
Idaho. 8
Commenting on the order Short
Line railroad officials say that the
trouble is due to improvidence on the
part OF sheep owners. All the driv-
ing to winter ranges should have
been done not later than October,
while the last of December ii find-
ing sheep on the trail to the winter
range. The railroad men say drov-
ers seem to think they can pay no
attention to emergencies, but just
trust to providence when they dO.
themselves. Under the cir
cumstances, It is not strange the
sheepmen are In trouble. However,
the Short Line officials viii do every
thing In their power to help; the
sheepmen pull through, and get corn
through Nebraska as speedily ais pos
sible. All the cars available will be-.
sent to American Falls: but it Is not
good Judgment on the part OF live
stock owners to expect the railroad
TO keep big lot of cars constantly
On hand to meet emergencies that
these owners ought to have provided
against.
