Chamber of Commerce Committee
Completes Plans for Banquet, at
Which Monster Attendance
Is Expected

Having completed all the preliminary
arrangements for the TAFT banquet
the members of the executive commit
tee of the chamber of commerce anu
of the special subcommittee ap-
pointed to attend to this supJecI are
now turning their attention to street
decoration. 1t will be Impossible, with
the funds at their disposal, for the
men in charge to devote a great deal
to beautifying the streets, but the
present plan, with the cooperation OF
merchants and residents, should result
in ample decorations.
The plan proposed by f. w. Blanch-
ard of the committee on street decor
alton, and of its chairman, w. M.
Humphreys, is to suspend from the
street lamp posts on the four principal
thoroughfares baskets containing flow
ers and greenery, interviewer with fags
and bunting. This single enterprise
would require considerable outlay, but
is considered the most feasible and will
be recommended to the executive COM
mittee at it's meeting held Monday
evening.
Effect Depends on Citizens
The general effect on the streets will
depend great deal on the generosity
of the merchants in decorating their
own store fronts and of residents in
of the merchants in decorating their
homes. 1t is urged that all cooperate
with the committee in order to make
the best possible appearance and to
give holiday effect to the festivities
While the president is here. His line
of march in the automobile parade
planned will bring him up Fifth street
from the Arcade depot and thence up
and down the four principal streets,
probably between Second and Seventh
streets.
Applications for seats at the banquet
have come in in such a rush at the
end of the week that the committee
anticipates now no difficulty in filling
the great auditorium. In fact, 1t is
considered probable there will be more
applications than there will be seats,
and all who desire to attend are again
urged to communicate with the COM
mittee's secretary Phillip Wilson, in
the Chamber of Commerce building, at
once.
Two new committees have been ap-
pointed and have gone to work. They
are the press committee: John G. Mott,
chairman; Douglass White, John B.
Elliott and Guy Barham. The hotel
committee comprises Harry r. CAL
lendar, chairman j. M. Schneider,
Charles G. Andrews, A. ]. Waters and

ing and Trust BusineaA

The session of the city council Tues
day will be one of the most important
that have been held by the present
body of lawmakers, for in the after-
noon all the ordinances relating to the
liquor traffic will be taken up and such
amendments made as seem proper TO
the council.
A petition was filed with the city
clerk yesterday from the Merchants
& Manufacturers association, asking
that the council make no changes IN
the existing ordinances regulating the
liquor traffic.
One of the important changes pro-
posed affects the wholesale dealers.
An ordinance giving wholesalers the
power to sell liquor in quantities OF
not less than ten ounces, or what IS
known as the commercial pint, has
been introduced, and will come up Tor
consideration. AS the ordinance now
stands wholesalers are forbidden TO
sell liquor in smaller quantities than
one-fifth of gallon, and this cuts out
the possibility of selling goods in pint
bottles Some of the imported cor
dials and other liquors come only in
the ten-ounce bottles. and as result
the only place they can be purchased
is at q retail saloon.
To offset this advantage to the
wholesale dealers the ordinance re-
quires they must close their places OIL
business at $3.50 o'clock in the evening
Grocers Affected
The matter of granting liquor per-
mits to grocers will also come up Tor
consideration. The council has beIore
it a resolution adopted by the police
commission asking that an ordinance
be passed forbidding grocers selling
liquor in any quantity and reVoklnS
the few permits now held by grocers'
The police commission gives as a red-
son for this that the sale of liquors
in groceries is calculated to spread the
use of intoXicants in the homes.
Prosecutor Guy Eddie will also pro-
duce an amendment to the present
liquor ordinance that will affect retail
saloons. He wants the law to pro-
hibit the sale of liquor in glasses 10
be drunk anywhere except on the
premises where they are sold He
also wants women without escorts pro-
hibited from frequenting restaurants
where liquor is sold after o'clock.
These two amendments are needed
because under the present rigid en-
forcment of the liquor ordinances the
spirit of the restaurant liquor ordl-
nance is being violated. Restaurants
are forbidden to sell in less Quantities
than one-fifth Of a gallon, in the orig1-
nal packages, but there is nothing to
prohibit a waiter from going to the
nearest saloon and securing all the
pony" drinks his customers want.
So important are these liquor meas
ures that the council mas no idea it
will conclude its labors Tuesday af-
ternoon, but may have to hold several
sessions during the week to fully de-
termine its action.

A. B. Nye, state controller, had an
appreciatiYe audience at the weekly
luncheon of the City club yesterday
when he spoke on the increase OF puplc
expenditure. There were two reasons
why Mr.. Nye was a welcome speaker.
One was that the subject he had
to talk about was of deep interest
to the members, and the other was
that he was one of the two MEM
hers of the state board of equalization
who openly opposed the successful eI-
forts of the other three members or the
board to saddle the bulk of the state
taxes on Los Angeles county.

gressional appropriations were larger

PRICES IF STOCKS
 TURN DOWNWARD Speculative Sentiment Stops to
 Examine Conditions STOCKS IN WEAKER HANDS Bull Leaders Have Taken Profits on a Large Scale and Are Not Buying
 HeavlIy-Net Changes For
 the Day Are Small.
STOCKS IN WEAKER HANDS

New York, June 9.-The decisive down. turn taken by the price movement of stocks today inclined speculative senti- nent to take account of unfavorable fac tors, but there was little that was pos itively unfavorable in the news The rapid decline in Southern Pacific upon the announcement of the much-heralded plan to retire the preferred stock was taken as an object lesson of the extent to which favorable developments have been discontinued in the speculation. The retirement plan left the privileged ex- change of preferred for common stock the most attractive for preferred stock holders and made 1t practically certain that it would be followed by all those stockholders. Such an exchange, it was realized, would leave the company's finan- cial position practically where 1t is, the effecting of any saving on the present charges would depend on the new com mon stock being kept on per cent basis compared with the per cent paid on the preferred to be retired. An in crease in the common dividend to per cent has been confidently counted on.
 A computation of the income return on this stock even with the dividend raised to per cent shows that on stock pur- chased at the price touched yesterday, which was 135, this return still would be less than on Union Pacific at the price and with the dividend already pre- vailing on the present stock. It was this computation, which involved no new facts, that was responsible for the con- trary movement in the two Hartman stocks. There was an apparent shifting of holdings from Southern Pacific into Union Pacific.
 The large benefit to accrue to the Union Pacific treasury from any increase in the Southern Pacific dividend was an additional incentive to this operation. Quite as much influence was exerted on speculative sentiment by the departure for Europe of a stock exchange mem Der credited with an important share in the largest transactions of the recent past in the bull campaign as by any actual developments in conditions bearing on values. This departure was read as a sign that profits had been taken on 8 large scale in the bull campaign with the conditions to follow of distribution of stocks into weaker hands, lessened sup port of an end scale TOT prices and a growth of technical conditions of weak ness.
 The government crop report was of some continuing influence toward depres- sion of stocks, although this was modi- fled by the indifference manifested by the wheat market to the governments fig ures. The speculation was disposed to a more sober consideration of .t the large reliance placed on the immature spring wheat and the newly planted corn crop for the favorable harvests that are hoped for. Further discounting of prospects so distant apparently did not appeal to favor.
 A distinctly bad impression was created by the outcome of the New York city bonds sale for which applications were less than twice the amount offered. The
