STOCK MARKET AGAIN ACTIVE
Speculative Conditions Held TO BE
Due to Operations of ImpOrt-
ant Financial Interests.

NEW YORK. June A-Speculative ac-
tivity was again strongly in evidence at
the opening Of trading on the Stock ex-
change today. Opinion in Wall street TO-
day was that the present outburst of spec
ulative enthusiasm is not due so much to
buying Of the general public as II is TO the
operations Of important financial interests
and a group OF heavy operators, some of
whom were until recently on the bear side
of the market.
The continued ease Of money is Of
course, large factor in the present spec
ulative movement, as are also the most
uniform reports of improved industrial
conditions and a general belief in the ex-
cellence of crop prospects. Another I'm
portant factor is the introduction OF Amer
lean securities on the Paris Bourse.
Trading In the first half hour today was
probably well in excess OF 10000 shares,
with the Hartman and Hill Issues, Atchi-
son and the steel stocks the most con-
spicuous features Heavy realization for
profits in the steel stocks was reported
and this selling was reflected in the pres
sure upon these particular issues on the
Stock exchange.
1t was rumored that a private settlement
of some 1000 shares OF United States
Steel common was effected for a large
short interest at price higher than the
stock has yet sold IN the open market.

Woman Admirer
of Cleminson
Visits His Cell
Accused Doctor Much Agitated and
Angrily Tells Her to Keep
Her Mouth Shut.

CHICAGO, June 4.-There was a dramatic
scene in the Sheffield avenue police station
today when Miss Anna Kolb was taken TO
the cell occupied by DR.. Haldane Clemin-
son, alleged by the police to have slain mis-
wife. 1t was from Miss Kolb that the
police obtained the names of a number Of
women with whom DR. Cleminson Is al
legged to have been on friendly terms Miss
Kolb admitted she had been a patient un-
der Cleminson at the Chicago Union hos
pital and that he had paid considerable at
tention to her.
Upon being taken 20 the physicians cell
Miss Kolb screamed Historically She was
left there for ten minutes with detective
near by. What the conversation between
the two was about the police refuse to
make public, but 1t was learned that their
talk terminated with a second series of
screams by Miss Kolb and She was led
away.
Captain Kane stated that Miss Kolb
while OF value In the investigation Of the
case was not the woman most wanted.
Later fragments of the conversation be-
tween the prisoner and Miss Kolb were
learned by reporters.
Doctor" said Miss Kolb in a low but
agitated voice, tell the police here the
names of the women-tell them of all Of
them"
DR.. Cleminson, staggering slightly
clutched the bars of his cell and replied
angrily: ''The closer you keep your mouth
shut, young woman, the better It will be
for both you and me-"
1t was at this reply that the visitor
screamed a second time and was led away.

ROADS FINED FOR REBATINC
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
Plead Guilty at Little Rock.
CONCESSION TO ELEVATORS
Though Holding Act Was Only Tech
nicaI violation, Attorney General
Insisted ON Prosecution
of Case.

WASHINGTON, June 4-The Department
of Justice was advised today that the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the st. Louis, Iron Noun
tain & Southern Railway companies had
entered a plea of guilty before Judge Trie-
Der, at Little Rock, Ark, for making IL
legal rebates to a grain merchant and were
fined $4,000.
This closes the cases at Little Rock,
which included indictments against these
two roads, as we'll as the merchant who
received the rebate, and the former traf-
fic official representing the companies who
granted 1t. The latter two individuals had
heretofore pleaded guilty and had been
fined $15,Ooo and $500 respectively.
The attorney general stated today that
after a careful examination Of all the cir
cumstances under which the rate was
given was fully convinced that the railway
companies were not morally, but only tech
nically, guilty OF any offense against the
Elkins law The payments were nhade by
a former traffic manager In direct, Viola
tion OF orders given by c. S, Clark, vice
president OF the road.
The Department Of Justice, nevertheless.
insisted that the railway companies were
bound by the act Of their agent.

Completed Report is Now in Hands Of

FOURTEEN FEET CHANNEL BAs1:
Board Passes on Data Collected by
Special Board Created by
Special Act of
Congress-.

WASHINGTON, June 4-From the at
titude OF some prominent army officials
the impression has been gained that the
unanimous report Of the army board of
engineers on the proposed Mississippi deep
waterway project from st. Louis to the
Gulf Of Mexico, which probably will be
before congress- before the end OF next
week, takes the general ground that com
mercial interests do not warrant the ex-
penditure Of the vast sums required to
construct and maintain the proposed water
way. No intimation, however. OF the con-
cusion of the engineers could be obtained
today
Conclusions Of the board have been
awaited with a great deal of impatience
especially in congress- where two weeks
ago there was an extended debate over the
question of calling on the secretary Of
war to transmit forthwith the report on
the subject.
The debate evidently has had the effect
OF expedition consideration OF the question
by the board of engineers, for it was an
nounced today that they had completed
theri report, which is now in the hands
of the chief of engineers of the army,
General William L. Marshall.
According to law, the board was author
ized to pass on the data collected by a
special board created by congress TO ex-
anime the Mississippi river below ST. Louis
TO collect data to enable army engineers to
reach a conclusion. with a view OF recon-
mendng action thereon
The report of the board will not be made
public until after it has gone to congress.
General Marshall will take pains to have
the report placed in the hands OF congress
SO soon as possible In view of criticisms
that we're made Of the engineers.
The proposed deep waterway from st.
Louis to the gulf Is a part of the great
project to connect the Great Lakes with
the gulf by channel sufficient to ac-
commodate large craft throughout the
year. Engineers were to collect data on
the construction Of channel fourteen
feet deep.

Criminal Insane at Matteawan under a de-
cision rendered today by the appellate di-

the appellate division. which today sus-
tained the lower court and dismissed the
writ. Thaw contended that Justice Dow

Thomas Gray, It will be recalled, con-
sumed seven years in writing his elegy.
But Thomas Gray belonged to another
school, another age. and he didn't live in
Gait, Mo. That is where Poet Stringer
lives-down in dear old Calf there where
the apple blossoms and the onion tops
sway in the same gentle spring breeze and
mingie their redolent fragrance,
Mr.. stringer admits that he was en-
dowed by nature with a talent for poetry
and so he does not claim all the credit for
his perseverance.
Again, speaking OF poets, Mr.. Stringer
has that same innocent Indifference to the
laser things of life, money, for instance
that has made so many men OF hts calling
great. He eschews cOmmeroe and Graves
not wealth.
Il have never sold any Of my poetry"
he said.
Mr.. Suinger conservss the elements Of
true pOetieAl greatness in his manner OF

the concluding ceremony Of the commence

to the forty-one seniors of the Hastings
High school, who compose one of the larg-
est classes ever graduated from that in
stitution. The commen ,Hment address was
delivered by Herbert III OK Smith Of Wash
ington, d. c., United States commissioner
Of corporations, before an audience that
completely filled the opera house.
Never has the world seen such powers as
serve this generation" declared Mr.. Smith.
at will be the work of this generation to
see that these forces ore directed for the
common good. We have built our ma
chinery; we have acquired power; we are
wealthy and prosperous Now we must see
that this wealth and power are righteously
and Justly used. Tho federal government
has seen that this is to be the great work
of this country. II is not hostile to busi-
ness, or to corpostrions. 1t is The enemy
only of unfairness and oppression. Cor
porations are a necessity for carrying on
our great modern businesses.
There are two types of business men or
OF corporations. The one buys carefully,
locates his factories well, improves his ma
chinery, trains his men, develops new mar
kets, makes his goods at less cost-you get
them cheaper, you share his success. That
man isusing properly our machinery of in
dustry He has right to all the support
and protection that the government can
give him.
The Sinister Type.
The other type of man succeeds by get
ting railway rebates, by bribing his COM
hxy
by evading the law. He tries to cripple his
competitors, not to improve himself. He
attacks our whole Industrial machinery.
His success is built on the dister of others.
I'm this crisis the federal government has
taken sides in the struggle. 1t has taken
the side of the fair user of business ma
chinery. 1t proposes TO protect him from
the pirates of business who live on unfair
methods and unfair advantages. We have
fought our way up for the last three cen
turtles In this country, from poverty to
wealth, from feebleness to a great nation
We are coming TO learn and we are going
to enforce, the proposition hat men are

opportunity for all and that while wealth
