Inspiration for Buying Of

(By Associated PressJ

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-lnspiration
for some buying of stocks today was
found in the character OF the annual
railroad reports which are being made
for the fiscal year ending with June.
The prominent place held today in the
number of shares dealt in and the ex-
tent Of the advance by Reading. Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific was
largely due to the wide surplus of the
years earnings over the dividend re-
quirement shown by The two Harriman
railroads and by Lehigh Valley, the
traffic conditions on which are very
similar TO these in the Reading. The
strength OF the Pacifics was aided.
as well, as by The indirect effect OF
the weeks Increase in the Canadian
Pacific dividend, owing to the re-
semblance of traffic conditions on the
different transcontinental railroad sys-
,ems.
The preliminary estimates OF the
currency movement pointed TO another
strong bank return tomorrow. The ar
rival today of $4,000 900 of imported
gold was the figure in the showing.
the gain by the banks from sub-treas-
ury operations is less than last week

The Hotel This Week.

The stockholders of the new Adams hotel company acted with good busi- ness judgment at their meeting yes terday. They determined to raise the remainder of the required cap ital by Friday of this week, and they resolved in favor of a fireproof building if it be found that the cost of construction will not exceed two hundred thousand dollars.
 Of the proposed sum of .S25O, ,O00 for the new hotel, there remains to be raised but s2O,OOO. and this amount should easily be found by the sub- scription committees within the next three days. It is not a donation proposition, in any sense. Investors can safely count on annual dividends of at least 20 per cent, and there are many people in Phoenix and the valley who would be glad to place their money in a 2O-per-cent invest ment.
 Wise from every standpoint was the decision to build a fireproof hotel if possible. Everybody comedies that the city could have no better ad- vertisement than a first-class, fire proof hotel, and the stockholders can well afford to pay the difference in cost of construction. (We think, however, that it will be found that the difference is not great) For travelling men tn" attraction of d fireproof hotel is such that they will so arrange their schedules that they will always come to Phoenix for Sun days and other stop-over days, when practicable; and for tourists gener- ally Phoenix will have an immense advantage over every other city in Arizona if it offers the only fire proof hotel in the territory. Another consideration for the stockholders which alone should control in favor of d fireproOf hotel, is the fact that if the new Adams is constructed of reinforced concrete the hotel will, in all probability, have no rival for many years to come. It will be most fortunate for the city and for the stockholders if it is found that such a structure as is required can be built of fireproof material for s2OO,O0O
 Most important of all, however, is the decision to make the hotel project a success by Friday of this week.

f COLORED BISHOP
 FAYORS TIE PICTURES
So Would the Whites, He Thinks,
 If Jeffries Had Won.

Philadelphia, July 1.-The negro ministers conference, composed of pastors of the African M. E. churches of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Della ware and New York, at a meeting today refused to endorse d resolution favoring the suppression of the John son-Jeffries fight pictures.
 Bishop B. T. Turner, who led the opposition to the resolution, admitted that he had prayed that Johnson might win. He said he was bitterly against prize fights, but since the fight was tO take place, he wanted the black man to win, especially as the whites had made a race issue of the encounter. He urged that no appeals be made by the colored men to suppress the pictures, and he de- clared that the men advocating such suppression were doing so only be- cause the black man had won.

of the arrivals came in special trains which had been run from all sections of the country, from Portland, Me, to Portland, Ore. and from Duluth to Galveston. Detroit hotels are all ready full to overflowing, but board ing houses and homes have been open ed and every visitor will have a com fortable place to eat and sleep. The final touches were put on the decor ations today and tomorrow night, fol- lowing the water carnival, the tri- umphal entrance of the rulers of Elk dom and their welcome by Gov. War ner and other officials, the city will blaze out with such a display of lights as has never been witnessed here before.
 Thursday will be the day of the big parade, the great event of the week. The Elks will march by states, with Michigan in the lead, and from present prospects the parade will be by all odds the most stupendous af fair of the kind ever pulled off by the Best People on Earth.
 Tonight marked the formal opening of the grand lodge of Elks at the Ly- ceum -theater. Senator Burrows of Michigan, Governor Warner and Mayor Breitmeyer welcomed the delegates in behalf of the state and city.
 Atmospheric conditions failed to harmonize with the good fellowship of the Elks, and half a dozen visitors were overcome by heat None of the sufferers. it is believed. are seriously affected. Among them was an uniden- tified man wearing the badge of the Los Angeles lodge, but who left the. hospital without giving his name.

A Poet on the Bench.

The supreme court of Missouri has won distinction of many sorts, some times to the grief of the Missourians especially when, straining at gnats, that august tribunal has turned crim- inals loose in its worship of tech nicality. Nobody, however, can com plain of one of its latest decisions, which places it on a high literary pedestal In the case of Kreis vs. Missouri Pacific Railroad company, reported in the 14Sth volume of the Missouri reports, and set forth in the Southwestern Reporter, in an opinion handed down by MT. Justice Sher- wood, we find a certificate of char acter for the orb of day which in poetic feeling ranks with Chantecleer's apostrOphe to The Sun" But let us quote Judge Sherwood without further comment:
 But counsel for plaintiff, while en- deavoring to establish that the path occasionally ran upon the ties, surely forgot one his most important wit nesses-a witness that could not be approached; witness who could not be subpoenaed, although his deposition might be taken. That deposition has been taken in photograph No. ?, and that witness the unimpeachable sun. His deposition, taken in indelible characters of heavenly light, repro duces the surroundings of the scene of the accident, the tracks, the space between them, the pathway, and the end of the ties, as they existed at the time of the injury. That deposi- tion establishes that the eye, though aided by an instrument, can discover in that sun-painted picture no place where the path runs upon the end of the ties. or touches them; nor is any point discoverable where the ties are imbedded in earth or cinders, or are even with the surrounding sur face. They stand out in bold relief, and can be seen and counted. And to me it is a very comforting thought and pleasing reflection that amid all the vicissitudes and pressing exig- encies of railroad damage suits they have never yet attempted to impeach Old Sol. Perhaps they were deterred by his shining reputation. At any rate, from his serene seat in the heavens. from his cairn on high he still looks down upon the pygmyl populations of earth with the same burning eye wherewithal erstwhile he | gazed down upon Ananias that time | he went in before the Apostles, and | lied to the Holy Ghost Such solar

the purpose of devising regulations
which will not contradict the direct

Alameda and Berkeley principals will
be invited to advise the Oakland peda-
gogues, and to consider a system to
be uniform in the three cities.
The principal worry is over the
school publications At the polytech-
mic high school no assessment is
levied. The principal appoints a man
ager, the students select editors. and
the manager is held responsible for
the finances. At the Fremont high
school the past custom has been to
assess each pupil 81 a year for student
activities. The assessment at the
Oakland high school has been so cents

TOWN OF HAYWARD
WILL TAKE APPEAL
Decision in Meek Case Will Be
Attacked

OAKLAND, Aug. 12.-Notices of ap-
peal from the recent decision of the
superior court giving a decision favor
able to w. E. Meek and the Meek es-
tate company were filed today by the
town of Hayward. Right to use ditch
through the Meek property to carry
away storm water is the matter in
controversy.
For a number of years the munich
pality used the ditch TO drain Castro
street in the winter time but the con-
struction of an embankment by the
Meeks deprived it of such use.
The town contended that it had a
right of way because of long continued
and uninterrupted use, but Judge Muir
phey found in favor of the Meeks.
