SLUMP IN STOCKS.
Market Is Affected by a Number of
Disquieting Rumors.

New York, May 25.-The stock mar
ket developed sudden weakness in the
latter part of today and various dis
quieting rumors were set afoat as
consequence in the neighborhood of
the stock exchange. All of these lack
ed confirmation and had to do prin-
cipally with the health of persons
prominent in the financial world and
with the affairs of financial instltu-
tions.
The speculative favorites in the
market bore the brunt of the selling
with Union Pacific and Reading in
the lead at a loss of three points from
yesterdays closing price. United
States steel lost 2 Is, Southern PACT
fic and American Smelling lost 2 "a
and declines of 1 u and upwards were
made by others of the most active
stocks
News from Washington regarding
the progress of the railroad bill in the
senate received some attention in the
market. Prices showed little resil-
iency and were very near the low point
on the periodical subsistence of the
selling.

OBJECT TO UNCLE JOE.
Presbyterians Don't Want Him to
Name Temperance Commission.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 25.-Com-
| missioners of the Presbyterian general
| assembly objected today to Speaker
Cannon of the house of representatives
proposed federal commission for the
investigation of the liquor traffic in
the United States. The matter was
brought up in a supplementary report
on temperance which followed the
main report yesterday. In discussion
of the question of temperance legisla-
ton, Congressman w. S. Bennett of
New York, leading layman and father
of the bill providing for the commits
sion, asked for support for the meas
ure by the assembly.
Rev. H. T. Laughbaum of Oklahoma
City said:
"I would be willing to have the
membership of the committee placed
in the hands of Congressman Bennett,
but I am not willing to trust the
speaker of the house with the appoint
ment of the committee" DR.. Laugh
baum and other commissioners attack
ed the proposed bill on the ground
that the intended investigation work
will only delay needed temperance re-
forms.
Congressman Bennett defended the
bill, which he claims will place be-
fore the country the exact status of
the temperance question. Members of
the assembly applauded the introduce
ton of a resolution condemning the
white slave traffic, introduced by
Quincy Thacker of Elk Rapids, Mich.
Commissioner Thacker said:
There should be an old fashioned
birthstone hell for those engaged in
this terrible business.
The resolution reads:
Whereas, This assembly contem-
plates with adherence and detestation
the recent exposures of the nefarious
business commonly known as the
white slave traffic.
Resolved, That this assembly be-
lieves that this traffic should be made
a crime not less than that of murder
and a corresponding penalty attached.
Resolved, That we plead with the
authorities, both state and federal,
that they use their best endeavors and
respective powers to stamp out this
evil within our entire borders lest God
come and smite us with a CURSE
Simon Wolf, former consul general
to Egypt, appeared before the conven-
ton on invitation and expressed the
thanks of the Hebrews of the world
for the resolution adopted by the as
sembly on Monday condemning perse-
cution of the Jews in Russia.

fonte hotel, being continued today and

BURGLARS GOT A WATCH.
Another One Is Reported From the
East Side.

While the family of A C Dossman SIS
Monroe street, slept Saturday night some
one entered the house and extracted a $50
watch and a pocket knife from a pair of
trousers and left the house without touch
ing anything else, as far as can be learn
ed. An open window in the dining room
is believed to have afforded an entrance.
The silverware was in the room in which
the burglars are believed to have entered
and was not taken. The burglars must
have walked through the dining room
into the front room and taken the trousers
from a closet in which they had been
hung at II 80 O'Clock that night by a son
of Mr.. Dossman. It was Mr. Dossman's
watch. The robbery was not reported to

School Board PrOdigal With Its
Light Bills.
Edison Company the Recipient
of Its FavOrs.
LET OLD RATE STAND.
Consequently Have Overpaid
Company $500.
Members OF Board Make Plea of
Ignorance.
LET OLD RATE STAND.

The school board has over paid the
Topeka Edison company in the neigh
borhood of $500 for lighting the two
high school buildings since August 1,
1905 On that date the company &C
cepted a new franchise which granted
a scent rate per kilowat hour, or
the same rate per thousand kilowats,
for lighting public buildings, including
the school buildings.
This would affect all contracts then
held between the company and man
ayers of public buildings, according to
Frank G. Dreaming, ex-city attorney.
He was instrumental in securing the
new franchise, but today learned that
the school board had continued to pay
the old rate from the time the new
rate was granted up to the present
time.
And the amount which is being paid
to the Edison company by the school
board Is twice the rate advertised by
the company for commercial lighting
for the same amount of current used
outside of school buildings.
E. H. Anderson, chairman of the
finance committee of the school board,
IS out of the city and so could not be
seen. However, when the over pay
was explained to s. A SwendsOn, a
member of that committee, and other
members of the school board, all pro-
fessed ignorance of the matter. Mr..
Swendson said that Mr.. Anderson had
not called the committee together
since he had been a member, and that
he thought that Mr.. Anderson audited
the books himself and his reports
stood as a committee report" He
further stated that he himself did not
remember of the scent rate granted in
the new Edison franchise and had
never investigated the matter, as it was
iii the committee chairman's hands.
James Cuthbert, chairman of the
building committee. said today that the
contract referred to was made by the
board and that he had not known
about the 5 cent rate, but would see
what could be done about a rebate.
Old Contract Made in 1904.
The old contract between the school
board and the Edison company, call
ing for the 10 cent rate was made Au-
gust 2, 1904, one year before the new
Edison franchise was granted How
ever, it expired August 2, 1909, but was
not renewed until January, 1910. Even
then, the 10 cent rate for lighting was
stated, exactly as in the old.
Since the date of expiration of the Old
contract the sums paid by the school
board to the Edison company for light
ing the two high school buildings, ac-
cording to the vouchers in the clerk of
Ihe DoardS office, are as follows:
