Stocks Move Within
Narrow Limitations

tive demands for larger increases than
those recorded That the step would
facilitate agreements. however, was
assumed
Uneasiness over the crop conditions
was revived by the failure of pre-
dictions of general rains in the south
west and by the colder weather re-
ported there. Another wave of de-
preston emanated from the CRANKY
mining episode in the Boston market
The gravity of the incident was in
ferred from the news of it's influence
in so remote field as the Paris
bourSe
London sent reports, however. of
confident expectations of an early
movement of gold from New York to
that center. An easy discount rate in
London today was attributed to that
prospect. The local money market
was unaffected bv the preparations for
the heavy April payments.

NEW YORK, March 31.-The stock
market today further disclosed it's
narrow limitations. The traders op-
Grated on one side of the market for
a time and then shifted to the other
side, While real buyers and sellers
apparently refrained from taking any
action at all. Great uncertainty ex-
lists as to the significance of the de-
cision of the supreme court not to
accompany the body of the late JUS
tice Brewer to it's resting place in
Kansas. The desire to avoid delay
in the public business gives rise to
supposition that the American To-
bacco case may be decided upon Mon
day. The opinion is universal in stock
market circles that the decision will
be followed by a pronounced move
ment in one direction or the other.
Another matter receiving much at
tention was the number Of railroads
following the example of the Penn
sylvania by advancing wages. That
action was of mixed effect on spec
ulative sentiment. The views eX-
pressed by labor representatives as
cribed a motive of caution to the ac-

Thinks War Must Come.

PARIS, Mar 31.-Continuing his eX-
animation OF international politics in
series of papers now being published,
Admiral Fourier says it is useless to
deny there is a possibility of war be-
tween the United States and Japan as
a result of popular irritation in Amer
lea should Japan's demands or Japan's
policies of absorption prove intolerable
to Americas excessive self esteem or
interests in the far east. These inter-
ests, the admiral adds, are antagonistic
to those of Japan, which, pushed on
by fate to expand in the Asiatic CONT
nent by conquest or by diplomatic vic
tory, seeks to become predominant in
tho very regions where the United Stat
eE is supporting the integrity of China
and the policy of the open door

ftOOC.
Mr. Cummins asked whether there
was any difference in principle in Civ
ing the commission the power to sus-
pend rates for SO days for investiga-
ton and giving it power to make an
indefinite suspension.
The power to render indefinite sus-
pensions is the power to render final
judgment" responded Mr. Root
whereas the power of temporary sus-
pension is like the granting of a tenn
porary injunction.
THE power to suspend indefinitely
involves the right to suspend without
any investigation"
Bacon Differs in Opinion.
Mr.. Bacon took issue with Mr..
Roots assertion the fixing of rates by
the government would lead to govern
ment ownership. He said for 80 years
the railroad commission of Georgia
had had such power.
Mr.. Root replied there would be
found a vast difference between state
and government control. The chief
function of ownership was the fixing
of rates, he said, and he argued if
the state could fix rates it could re-
duce them to point where it might
be necessary to take absolute control.
Mr.. Aldrich asked Mr.. Root whether
he was in favor Of giving the inter-
state commerce commission power to
fix the rates on all the railroads of
Georgia. Mr.. Root replied he would
not favor turning over control of all
the railroads to the commission.
Mr.. Root cOntended the merger Sec
ton of the bill did not interfere with
the operation of the antitrust act
| He declared the supreme court de-
cision in the Northern Securities case
had not held the purchase of stock to
be contrary to the antitrust law.
Hard to Prove Conspiracy.
On the contrary, it had explicitly
held that congress could not control
the mere acquisition of stock of a
railroad corporation. The offense was
| in the conspiracy and it might not al
ways be that the purchase of stock
was in pursuance of conspiracy, OF
if so, it was not always easy to prove
the facts. He said this bill would re-
leve the government of the necessity
of finding a conspiracy. This" he
exclaimed, lis merely an advance
from newspaper dissertations to def
mite legislation. The serious ques-
ton is whether under our constitution
we can say the railroad corporations
of any state shall not purchase the
stock of a corporation Of another state
The question is whether it is not
an infringement of the right of the
states over their own creations"
He was inclined, however, to believe
the courts would not sustain an ac-
QUESTION of stock because it bears SC
close a relation to the restraint OF
trade Nevertheless, h regarded it as
the greatest, the boldest and the
most radical step yet taken by con-
SreSs to the regulation of commerce.
Mr.. Bailey failed to agree entirely
with MIR. Root as to the tenor of the
decision in the Northern Securities
case. What he wanted, he said, was
law that dealt with results and not
With motives. He agreed with Mr.
Root the merger provision prohibits
the purchase of less than so per cent
of the stock of one company by an
other. but he found Inconsistency il

more stock when so per cent of it has

Iowa has already fired broadside at
the bill and his fellow insurgents think
he has scored. Aldrich rose a few days
afterwards and said the friends of the
bill intended to offer some amendments.
He wanted it understood, he explained,
that their action was not Influenced by
Senator Cummns Senator Elkins also
gave warning a few days later that,
however much the amendments were
in line with Cummins' ideas. they were
the children of the minds of those who
drafted them.
Tariff Fight to Re Resumed.
The biggest fight On this measure
will be over the section creating a
court of commerce Here the Insurgents
of the senate will present a pretty well
united front Most of them oppose the
court idea.
The tariff will be the subject of still
another clash, it is declared. The meas
ure will be under discussion when the
civil sundry bill with an amendment
for an appropriation fer tariff COM
mission comes up
DOlliver of Iowa, who figured promi-
nently in the fight against the cotton
schedules, is, according to his col
leagues, preparing a speech that will
attract nation wide attention when the
tariff amendment comes up.

Thinks Department of Justice Exer-

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Repre-
sentative SABBATH of Illinois, wants to
know if officials of the department of
justice scattered throughout the coun-
try form cliques and have monopoly
of bankruptcy and other cases that
come into the federal courts.
He introduced a resolution today
calling on the attorney general to fur
nisn the house with information as
to the names of persons so employed.
According to Mr.. SABBATH, it is i'm
possible in many cities for litigants to
employ the counsel they desire, but
they are practically compelled to en-
ploy members of the favored circle
and he asserts that the funds of liti-
giants frequently are absorbed in these
charges

WASHINGTON. April Although
there will be an insurgent fight in the
senate between now and the end of the
present session of congress there will
be no fireworks such as accompanied
the recent uprising in the house in the
rules committee affair, according to
statements of senate leaders.
In the senate the insurgent fight will
be brought out when administration
measures are up for discussion. These
measures. supposed to represent the
platform ideas of the republicans, will
be attacked by the insurgent senators
in debate, and they win fight holly for
such changes as they think necessary
to make them nearer their idea of what
has been promised the people.
The progressives in the senate have
the same inspiration for warfare as
those in the house, but conditions in
the senate are not such as call for
the mode of warfare waged by the rep
resentatives.
There IS no issue regarding rules
The influence that controls the senate
is more subtle. and is not so clearly
centralized as Cannon's power in the
house. Therefore the fight will be
made as an attack on reactionary
measures.
While the democratic representatives
stood solidly in line with republican
insurgents to bring about a revolution
in the house, nothing of the sort could
be accomplished, even if there were
occasion for such a combination, in
the senate.
Those who are familiar with senate
affairs declare that in the event of
close vote on an Aldrch measure Aid
rich could probably summon some
democratic votes. The insurgents, they
