MARKET SHOWS
MORE STRENGTH

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Close observers
Of the stock market today agreed that it
showed great underlying strength and in
creasing breadth in spite of the irregu-
lar and reactionary movement in prices.
Profit taking was evident throughout the
day. The markets power of absorption
and the success attending the effort TO
garner profits was- remarked on all sides.
The slight movement of prices in some
quarters and the repression under which
the market seemed to act were regarded
as more convincing of the undertone Of
strength than volatile uprush Of prices
would hsVe been. There was palpable
shifting of speculative holdings and houses
that have been conspicuously active in
stocks which have led the market recently
were buyers of stocks which came to the
front in the days upward movement. The
most potent factor in sustaining prices in
face of the heavy realizing sales was the
vigorous strength shown by Southern Pa
cihc. This was most conspicuous the
strong side of the market Pennsylvania,
Rock Island, the Fries, American smelt-
ing, the railroad equipment group and some
other particular stocks responded to the
Southern Pacific movement. The effective
ness of these was not impaired by the
heavy tone Of Union Pacific, United States
Steel. New York Central and at times
Reading, which were the features of last
weeks strong showing. Southern Paciic's
high price TO day eolipsed all previous prices
by q liberal margin and United States
Steel lacked fraction to its record. The
government report of cotton was accepted
with languid interest.
Money and exchange conditions were not
materially changed.

WOMAN FALSELY ACCUSED
OF WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
Indictment Against Mrs. Helen
Spencer Is Dismissed

NEW YORK, Aug 11.-That an in
justice had been done Mrs. Helen
Spencer, recently arrested in Ecuador
and charged with having engaged in
the white slave" traffic for the Pana-
ma canal zone, was admitted in court
here today when the Indictment against
her was dismissed by Judge Ross.
The action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the district attorney s
Office. The recommendation was sub
mitted in writing and reads:
"Since this case was placed on the
calendar of the courts for trial the
girls, who are the chief witnesses,
have admitted to the district attorney
that their testimony has been false in
essential particulars. From their
present statements it appears that the
defendant, did not commit the crime
charged herein. The dismissal of the
indictment is recommended"

fingers part in stopping the work of
the board of works on the Hetch
Hetchy water system was roundly
scored by Ralph McLeran, candidate
for the democratic nomination for
mayor, at meeting held last night by
the San Francisco democratic club of
the Fortieth district at New Washing
ton hall, Poll Fillmore street. McLeran
said that Ballinger had little to do when
he ordered the work stopped and that
he thought that Ballinger had all he
could do to protect himself in his own
state.
McLeran devoted nearly a half hour
to description of the work already
accomplished toward the bringing of
the Sierra water supply to this city.
He said that candidates who refused to
declare themselves on the Hetch Hetchy
project were not entitled to considera-
ton.
LAUDS PRESENT BOARD
McLeran also said that it would be
almost suicidal for the citizens to think
Of changing the plans of the present
board of supervisors. He laid particu-
lar stress on the work that is now be-
ing done and the work that will be
commenced within the next 80 days.
He said that the new high pressure
water system would be installed not
later than December, and that by that
time the board of supervisors expected
to have a pressure that would throw
stream of water over the Palace hotel
without the use of fire engine. He
told of the fight for the IS cent gas
rate; declared himself in favor of the
resubmission of the Geary street bond
project, and told why the board of
United Railroads to runs its Suffer
street electric cars in Market street.
ROCK STATES PLATFORM
Edward r. Rock, McI4eran's opponent
for the. nomination., spoke few min
utes before McLerans arrival. He
said he was absolutely the peoples
servant and promised to obey no boss
but the people. He also spoke bitterly
against the action of Secretary Bal
linger in stopping the work on the
Hetch Hetchy and Lake Eleanor reser-
voir sites. He declared himself in
favor of giving the gas company q
