The one adopted by the progressive Demo

QUESTION Of the situation in this state, but

eentatives of Mr.. Hearst, and report
will be made by Mr.. Shepard TO the Demo
cratic State Committee at its meeting in
Saratoga on August 49,
II was stated that no possible candidates
for Governor were discussed. although
there was considerable talk of prospective
candidates before the meeting. 1t was re-
Dorted that a prominent Democrat has been
touring the state in the interest of former
state Controller Martin II. Glynn. The
league men mentioned the name of Thomas
NJ. Osborne. and said that Cayuga County
wanted him.
Kings County was said to he ready TO
support Edward N. Shepard. and Monroe
County James s. Havens. The name OF ex-
Justice j.. Cady Herrick was also heard

GREAT HUNTERS OF CONGO
TRAVEL FAR FOR GREETING

BUTIABA, Uganda, Feb. 27.-On
January Colonel Roosevelt and the
other members of his expedition left
Hoimi for Butiaba, the port on Lake
Nyanza.
Commander Fl. Hutchinson, r. n. r.,
the Uganda superintendent of marines,
had charge of the boats conveying the
expedition to Rhino camp. The trip
up the Albert Nyanza was extremely
rough. After many discomforts the
boats arrived at Koba and on the pier
there were assembled all the white
hunters from the Congo, known in
this region as the Congo poachers,
waiting to greet Colonel Roosevelt. 1t
was a notable tribute, for never be-
fore had there been such gathering
of great hunters, many of whom had
come long distances to pay their re-
spects to the former president.
Perhaps the most conspicuous figure
was John Boyes, called ''the king of
the Wakakiuyu," for at one time he
virtually was, by force of right and
might, their king. He has led eXpedi-
tions through Abyssinia and the
Congo, but settled down in the Congo
as an elephant hunter and Congo
poacher. Boyes is said originally to
have been an able bodied seaman on
a vessel which put into Mombasa
many years ago.
Young Quentin Grogan, brother of
Captain Ewart S. Grogan, who gained
fame by marching from the Cape to
Cairo was there ready to lead Colonel
Roosevelt to his camp near the white
rhino haunts. Quentin Grogan was
once a midshipman in the British
navy, but now spends all the time
shooting elephants in the Lado En-
clave, which he finds a lucrative EN-
DlOyment,

VESSEL CARRYING MRS.
ROOSEVELT SINKS TUG

NAPLES, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt and her daughter Ethel, who
are on their way to meet the former
president at Khartoum, arrived here
today on the steamer Hamburg.
The vessel was delayed a day by
stormy weather. Mrs. Roosevelt was
met on board the Hamburg by Com
mander Andrew T. Long, the naval at.
tache of the American embassy, and a
representative from the American con-
sulate.
American boats surrounded the
steamer, which, after stopping sud-
denly, crashed into and sunk a tug.
Several sailors on the little boat were
rescued and the incident caused great
excitement.
Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt were landed
and went to the Hotel Excelsior, where
they met many friends. They may
take passage Wednesday for Egypt.

ROOSEVELT OUT OF
TOUCH WITH AFFAIRS
Former Presidents Long Stay in
Wilds Causes Him to Decline
Discussing Politics and
Public Questions

GONDOKORO, Feb. 27.-Col. Roose-
welt, Kermit Roosevelt and the MEM
bers of their shooting party who arrived
here last night on the Belgian gunboat
Boch, passed Sunday resting, their ex-
periences in the past few days in
search for giant Glands having proved
fatiguing.
An effort was made today to secure
from Col. Roosevelt a statement on
political and public affairs generally,
but he emphatically refused to discuss
these matters, as he said he had COM
pletely lost touch with the outside
world. He added he would require an
opportunity to review public affairs
fully before expressing any opinion.
The Roosevelt party dined this even
ing with the district commissioner, who
remarked on Col. Roosevelt and his
sons fine health. The others are show
ing need of rest after an arduous years
trip.
The Americans will leave here tomor-
row for Mongolia, where an enthusi-
astic reception awaits them.

STOCK MARKETS
BECOME INACTIVE
MOVEMENT OF PRICES SLUG
. GISH AND IRREGULAR
Passing Effect of Influential Factors
Indicated by Indifference to
Attorney Generals
Address

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-The stock
markets of last week in New York
lapsed into a state of inactivity equal
to the dull periods of midsummer and
February of last year. The move
ment of prices, at the same time, be-
came sluggish and Irregular and man
ifestly prompted by nothing more than
the board room ventures Of the pro-
fessional traders, timidly pursued in
view of the lack of any more substan-
tial operations to carry the tide of
the market.
THE passing effect of factors lately
influential was indicated by the indif-
ference shown to the public address
of the attorney general, reiteratlng
the policies of legal restraints on cor
porations. The importance of this sub
iect is not changed in financial estima-
ton. 1t is expected that revival or ITS
influence will now await the decision
of the supreme court in the American
Tobacco and Standard Oil cases.
The large attention paid to the news
from the winter wheat region is sig
nifcant from the direction in which
the next effective forces in the specu-
lation are expected to move. The state
in which the winter-sown crops shall
have come through the rigors of the
season closing will form subject for
close study in the stock market from
this time on.
The coInptroller's abstract Of ma
tional bank reports, as of January 81,
shows a credit position still extended,
in spite of the severe deflation to
stock market values and liquidation
of stock market borrowings which had
occurred at that time.
The existence of large outstanding
bills on old cotton and wheat would
imply a need of further dehation in
that field.
The continued shortage Of foreign
demand for cotton and wheat marks
the holding of prices at an unattrac-
tive level. The sustained volume of
current redemption Of banknotes by
the United States treasury, although
not fully up to the unprecedented level
of January. is significant of redundant
bank conditions and is an agency in
keeping up prices.
Labor disputes to be adjusted are
kept in mind by the Philadelphia riots
and by demands upon various rail-
roads to which answer must be made.
Authorities in the iron and steel
trade report hopeful views of the de-
mand for their products, but the price
OF iron still declines.

NEW YORK SYMPATHiZERS
RAISE FUND FOR STRIKERS

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-A fund was

Philadelphia this afternoon by hun

filled Carnegie hall to applaud argu-
ments why women should have the
ballot.
Here, as throughout the country, the
day had been set apart by the Social

for IS and the flags of various suffrage
organizations hung from the balconies.
Although the audience sang the Mar

0VERRULES LOWER COURT
ON TAX SALE DECISIONS

FRESNO, Feb. 27.--A decision of the
third appellate court reverses the de-
cision of the lower court in the case
of w. j. Canty VS.. w. j. Staley. This
and other similar cases forces the sale
of lands for delinquent taxes in the
county, covering from $4,000 to 10000
acresy good only for grazing, but hav-
ing a prospective value as agricultural
or as oil-bearing land.
1t is the first decision affirming these
tax deeds, the lower courts having uni
