secretary of war has the authority to
make the Olentagy Bridge company

SUPPORT FAILS TO
OVERCOME WEAKNESS

NEW YORK, Mar. IA certain
amount of disquiet was reflected in
the stock market today and the Wig
orous supporting measures from time
to time were not sufficient to over
come the effects. Weakness became
acute in the final hour.
The amount of important financing
which remains to be done, the harden
ing effect already produced on the
money market and the doubtful alb
sorptive power of the investment de-
mand for bond issues combine to form
a situation which is not viewed with
entire satisfaction by the financial
world.
The announcement that ST.
Louis and San Francisco had resort
ed to an issue of notes secured by
deposit of a proposed bond issue is

q development taken to indicate a
growing oversupply in the money mar
.ket.
An outlet for the oversupp1y is
found in the considerable blocks of the
new securities which are placed with
foreign subscribers and which have
served to keep down rates in the for
eign exchange market and to avert an
outgo of gold. The effect upon the
money market of the increased de-
mand for credits is seen in the higher
rates for time loans and in the de-
creased demand for mercantile paper.
The money outlook probably accounts
for the recurrent depression in the
stock market, although various other
causes were advanced At first it was

delphia and the unfavorable copper

MISS SYLVIA APPEALS.

New York, March 29.-Marguerite
sylvia, grand opera prima donna, does
not intend to return to Oscar Ham
merstein's fold If she can help it.
Through her lawyer, Nathan Burkan,
she appealed to the appellate division
yesterday to vacate the injunction
Hammerstein obtained against her in
the lower court a few days ago re-
straining her from singing in any the
atre or company except that of Ham
merstein for the rest of this season
Miss sylvia believes she is justified in
breaking the contract with Hammer
stein because of the conduct OF the
impresario Oscar and his son, Arthur,
towards her. Following is part of the
brief she submitted for the considera-
ton of the appellate division justices:
The plaintiffs misconduct includes
charges of immortality against defend
ant and indecent, suggestive and in
sulting language addressed to her.
Plaintiffs son addressed defendant in
persons in insulting, harsh and bully
ing manner, using the words You
need not get so fresh. 1t isn't going
to advance you" Miss sylvia con-
tends her contract is not binding be
cause made in France without her hus-
bands consent, and she cites several
cases wherein contracts of the kind
under the French law have been de-
clared void

AT THE FAMILY.

Miss Ethel Whiteside presented her
pickaninnies at the Family last even
ing, headlining the bill for the first
half of the week Miss Whiteside's
assistants are four young colored
boys, all of whom can sing fairly we'll
and can shake their feet in true old
South Carolina fashion. The act,
which is embeIfished by special seen
cry, Is so constructed as to introduce
the pickaninnfes, separately, each rep
resenting a different country and sing
ing in the tongue of that particular
country, but winding up with con-
fession that he is a real coon" Miss
Whiteside herself is a pleasing per-
former. The act Is one of the neatest
that has been seen at the Family dur
ing the season. Other turns for the
opening half of the week are West &
Denton, who tmpersonate a Bowery
couple in songs and dances; Martin
& Greshen, who have a typical cow
boy act, and Chic. Japanese juggler.
Then, as usual, there are the illus
trated song and the moving picture,
both OF which are new.

Should the city go dry, in 80 days
liquor in any form would be absolutely
prohibited in every part of the city
This means not only wiping out all
licensed saloons. but it means that
private individuals, private homes,
hotels. clubs, and every other institu-
ton will be positively barred from
ordering, serving or selling liquor or
beer in any form.
1t would mean that the evils now
incidental to the saloon would be in
creased ten-fold by reason of the Sc
crecy into which the traffic would be
driven, and the blind pigs and the
clandestine dramshop would flourish
and multiply.
1t would mean that hundreds of men
would be thrown out of work, wages
would be lowered owing to the sur
plus of labor on the market, 100 or
more stores would be thrown on the
market, thereby demoralizing real es-
tate values. and Rock Island would
pass through one of the worst panics
Of its history.
The effect Of prohibition would pen
citrate to the tobacco, meat, ice, bakery
and many other collateral interests.
so that a numerous host outside OF
saloons would suffer the loss of en-
ployment; in fact, the more one re-
fleets on the enormity of the proposal
to vote Rock Island dry the more the
heartlessness of those who could
lightly request such a thing is ap-
parent.
What care they in their mad en-
thusiasm what effect of their request
involves? No matter If property is
ruined, that hundreds lose their means
of living, that hard times ensue, that
the city revenue is jeopardized.
The prohibition policy is purely de-
structive. anarchistic and tyrannical,
and we call upon patriotic citizens re-
gardless Of party affiliation to vote
mo" on the question.
All lovers of personal liberty
should vigilantly stand shoulder to
shoulder for the cause until the 5th
of April and administer such rebuke
on the drys as to effectually dispose
of them forever.

RAILROAD NOTES

II favor publicity for railroad wrecks
or accidents. The public is entitled
to the facts and railroad officers and
agents blunder previously when they
attempt to cover news or in any way
try to avoid the light or responsible
ity''
Vice President Park, who has just
taken hold of the Illinois Central
fathered the above statement yester-
day. He said that the principle of
telling the public about accidents was
given impetus through the efforts of
julius Kruttschnidtt. director of opera
ton on the Hartman lines, who,
year or so ago, instructed everybody
connected with the Southern and
Union Pacific to make an open record
of accidents.
There has never been anything
gained by attempting to fool the pub
lic," Mr.. Park continued. People
often imagine they are getting away
with something, but the public has a
habit of discovering the dark corners
in the end. So far as 1t is in my
power, I am going to insist on open
methods in these matters and hope
that we will be accorded fair play in
return. On this point it has been my
experience that the American public
will give anybody a square deal that
acts squarely with it,

The city of Rock Island is getting
enough undesirable advertising these
days to last It for many years. What,
with the local option campaign bring
ing forth the unpleasant facts, and
with the general publicity given to
the news of Rock Island by papers in
other cities which are glad OF a chance
to knock their rival, we are getting
it in abundance. The thing can hard
" be laid to the local optionists, for
long before the present campaign
opened, newspapers in other cities
were copying items such as the notice
that garbage collections were sus-
pended, or that the various funds
were exhausted, or that the streets
were dirty, and so on. Our rivals are
always pleased to show how much
better they are than we are.

LOUIS MANN AT GRAND.

When, on Sept. 6, 1908, William A.
Brady began his management Of Louis
Mann by producing 1.-The Man Who
Stood Still" in the Grand opera
house, Chicago, he launched what has
proved to be the most appealing Of
what was a veritable avalanche of
plays dealing with life and character
in a single neighborhood-that of the
great East Side of New York City.
What lesson there is taught by 1.-THE
Man Who Stood Still is that the i'm
migrant who wishes to succeed in this
country must live as Americans live,
think and act as Americans do, and
adopt America as his own land. 1t is
because John Krauss did not do that
that he was good material for THE
Man Who stood Still" This is the
role acted by Mr.. Mann, himself The
lesson is illustrated negatively by him
and, positively by joey Abrams, an
other of the characters Polish boy

can ways of doing things. Mr.. Mann

shall be sold for the next two years
