To the million or more investors who
have bonds and stocks put away In their
strong boxes the fact OF possession does
not seem such a grievous load to carry.
There are several millions who are not
so happily situated who would like to be
similarly afflicted. 1t does not occur to
the average man that there is special
horror in being condemned to own a few
hundred or few thousand shares In

NEW YORK. May II. 1910
The stock market swung soberly and
decorously within narrow range of
prices all week, per program. The
high ffnanciers of the international grade
decided that it would be best, everything
considered. to restrain speculation for a
while and at the same time to lend sup
port to the market in order that there
might be no raiding done and nothing
OF a disturbing character TO unsettle peo-
pies minds.

stirring up excitement while the royal OBJ
sequies were on In Great Britain, and in
the second place there was just enough
uncertainty in the situation to make slow
action desirable. Meantime, the best
policy to conserve was that of respectful
quiet.
Many of the important bond fiotations
under way in London and the European
centers were suspended for the moment,
although none OF them was abandoned
or even seriously interrupted. Announce
ments of conclusions of deals were held
back, but the negotiations went on Just
the same. although without ado. New
York took its cue from London, and the
policy pursued was thought to be a very
classy piece OF high financial diplomacy,
which would not be without its effect
abroad

Apparently the low range of prices was
reached about the first OF May. Between
May 3 and the middle of the present
week the trend of the market was up-

lULD AND ROBNETT GUILTY
NAVAL OFFICERS SENTENCED TO
LOSE FIVE NUMBERS EACH
Penalties Are Mitigated by Assistant
Secretary Winthrop-Both Men
Restored to Duty.

Washington. - Paymaster George
Percival Aud and Passed Assistant
Surgeon Ansey H. Robnett, U. s. NJ,
were found guilty by the naval court
at Boston of conduct unbecoming Of
ficers and gentlemen and sentenced
to lose five numbers in rank each.
While Assistant Secretary Winthrop
agreed with the court that the con-
duct of the officers was undignifed,
he exonerated Aud on the ground
that the motives which actuated him
were commendable and the assault oc-
Cured after considerable provocation.
In the case of Surgeon Robnett, Mr..
Winthrop said his conduct deserved
some notice, but he modified the SEN
tence of the court SO it read loss of
two numbers instead Of five. Both
officers were ordered released from
arrest in quarters and restored to
duty.
The court held that as DR.. Cowles
was a guest in the navy yard the
officers there should have extended
him every courtesy and that the de-
partment regretted the action taken
by the officers.

PINCHOT QUIZ IS DELAYED
Session-Adjourns Until Monday
on Request of Claws Attorney.

Washington.-Afte a session last
ing less than an hour Friday, during
which the future conduct of the case
was discussed informally, the Bal
linger-Pinchot congressional investi'
eating committee granted the request
of Attorney Louis d. Brandeis for ad'
journment until next Monday.
After an adjournment of more than
a week, made necessary by the reten-
ton of counsel for Secretary BallingeT
and other Off cials of the interior de-
partment, the congressional commit
tee, of which Senator Nelson Of Min
nesota is chairman, met to resume
consideration of the controversy which
has existed since Mr.. Ballinger took
the oath of Office and which has led
to several dismissals from the govern
ment service.
In anticipation of a searching cross
examination of Louis r. CLAWS, prin
cipal witness for the prosecution,
there was rush for seats when the
doors of the general committee room
in the senate office building were
thrown open. 1t was to permit coun
sci for Secretary Ballinger to prepare
for this cross-examination that the
committee took so long as adjourn
ment.

ADVERTISING IN MOROCCO.

According to a consular report from
Tangier. the forms of business public
fty most familiar in most other parts
of the world prove quite ineffective
among the Moors. The astonishing
disclosure is made that not only Is the
ultimate consumer in Morocco often
unable to read in his own Arabic, but
a picture signifies nothing to him. 1T
may be almost inconceivable that such
is the case" writes Consul Holt, "but
it is physical Sact that the eye of the
average floor fails TO find any mean
ing whatever in picture" He relates
photographs of themselves which they
have failed to recognize; land this is
true to an even greater extent as re-
CARDS pictures of inanimate objects"
with special reference to things for
sale, says Providence Journal. How to
coax to buy goods potential consum-
er who can read neither print nor pic
ture would evidently be considerable
problem for the modern expert in adj
vertising Samples and "demonstra-
tons" indeed, are the only form of
publicity which is at all likely to catch
the Moor. The main machinery of ex-
ploitation as carried on in the United
States becomes useless when directed
at him. The mail order house, appar
emily, would stand no chance in Nor
Deco. All the witchery of art in adver-
Using as expressed in the ubiquitous
catalogue would be as completely
wasted on the Moor as the sense Of an
inscription from the Koran, decorating
the wall of Moorish vestibule, on the
American tourist.

DIES IN FIGHT FOR LIFE
Chicago Glove Manufacturer Found
Murdered in Office-ReVenge or
Robbery Believed Cause.

Chicago. - After a desperate fight
for his life, Charles E. Wiltshire,
was murdered brutally in the office OF
the Chicago Glove and Mitten Com
pany, at 458 North Halsted street.
When the body was discovered ly-
Ing on the floor the head and face was
hacked and cut as if by dagger and
forty knife wounds were found on the
body.
The Office was completely wrecked
In the struggle between Wiltshire and
his assailants.
The guard of stiletto was found
near the body, having apparently been
wrenched off in the struggle.
The police have two theories as to
the motive for the crime. One of
them is that Wiltshire was killed for
revenge by two men whom he aided
the police in sending to the peniten-
tiary on the charge of robbing a cloth
ing store.

The owners state that the steamer
carried besides the passengers crew

The vessel was driven on the rocky
coast of the Island of Minorca in a
fierce storm, where it was soon
pounded to pieces.
Boats were launched and speedily
filled with passengers and members
of the crew, but they were all
swamped in the raging surf.
The storm was still raging and the
scene of the wreck is difficult Of ac-

SWITCHMEN VOTE TO QUIT
Strike Threat Not Taken Seriously by
Railroad Officials Because of
Arbitration Clause.

Chicago.-By a nearly unanimous
vote, 3,098 switchmen employed by 78
railroads centering in Chicago, mem
bers of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, decided in favor of strike,
providing a settlement cannot other
wise be effected by the committee and
grand officer"
This latter clause in the ballot, the
railroad officials declare, gives the
switchmen's committee authority to
accept arbitration, and as the rail
roads have already agreed to arbi'
trate, the wage controversy, which
has been carried on since January %,
they declare that there is no posi-
bility of strike.
Vice-President A. F. Whitney OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, on the other hand, declares en-
phatically that this same clause.
which states clearly that strike may
be called only provided settlement
cannot be otherwise effected" pro-
hibits the use of arbitration.

there is no question that with peace
and good order Cuba is bound to pros
per. Despite all the criticism heard
the island is making good Roadway in
a material sense. The latest reports
show that railroads are extending into
every part, mines are being opened,
the fruit-growing industry is expand
ing rapidly and sugar and tobacco are
bringing returns. Cuba is fertile re-
gion of vast natural resources of vari-
Gus kinds. Even under the prostrat-
ing effect of war there was rarely a
time when a large commerce was not
being carried on. With tranquility
in the interior and free opportunity for
capital and labor to work together,
there is every reason to believe that
in a few years Cuba will possess
wealth far exceeding that of many
countries greatly SURPRISING the island
in size.

Our fine supper rooms looked very

ed as an ''iridescent dream" of Cecil
Rhodes, is now so far advanced that
completion Is actually in sight. The
finished part extends more than 2,100
miles from Cape Town, and lines in
course of construction or contemplated
will make the connecting links, so that
within two or three years it is believed
trains will run from Egypt through the
heart of the dark continent to the
other extreme of Africa. What devel'
opment will follow the opening up Of
the country by this means may be left
to vivid imagination. Africa in some
respects is SURPRISING other sections
