FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
NERVOUS AND FEVERiSH,
 FLUCTUATIONS UP AND DOWN.
Stock Prices Broke Violently to New
 Low Levels for the Year.

l New York. June 6.-Prices of stocks i broke violently to new low levels for | the year in the late session of the stock i exchange today after nervous and 1 feverish fluctuations up and down
 for most of the session.
 l The break was coincident with the 1 circulation of reports that the railroad presidents who have gone to Washing | ton to protest against the government | action to enjOin western trunk lines i freight rates had given up hope of se- | curing any modification of the intend ed course of the law officers of the ad- niniStration. There had been much | talk of the conference to be held at the l White House later in the day between 1 President Taft and the railroad eXecu- tives, and conjecture was rife over what it was hoped to accomplish by l this meeting. The speculation assum- ed that some measure was sought that would be matter of satisfaction to the railroads. This aSSump ptfOn proved dis quieting to the uncovered bears and their demand to cover promptly caus- ed a strong sustaining influence on prices during the early session. At the time the level had been lifted 1 to 2 points over the closing level of Satur- day quite generally. London joined actively in the buying and speculative sentiment took on quite cheerful hue. The excessive dullness into which the trading fell at the advance argued an unwillingness on the part of buyers to follow the rise and indicated a weak undertone, but it was hoped that the hesitation was due simply to desire to await the outcome of the White House conference.
 During the time of advancing prices there was a supposition entertained that some sort of working agreement had been arrived at between the rail- roads and the government authorities for solution of the rate controversy on lines which would relieve the anx- ietfes of railroad officials.
 News Of the crops and money con- d1tions were taken to account partly for the better tone of the early deal ings. Expressions of satisfaction were heard from western banking authOri- tise over the benefit to the credit posi- ton of the liquidation, which has been effected in grain, cotton and stocks, and also, it was intimated, to the pay ing off by country borrowers of loans for investment in farm paper. In con- trast with the prevailing tone in Wall street there was quoted leading Chi cago banker as saying:
 Railroad earnings are still satfsfac- tory and the disposition of many roads claims that higher freight rates are necessary in order to cover expenses of increased wage allowance shows that the countrys transportation industry is in fairly prosperous cendition.'
 News of the sale abroad of $25, 900, 900 orally known in Wall street before the
 market closed No attention was paid to anything but the conference at Washington. After breaking from 2 to over points, prices rebounded 1 to 3 points with the demand from the bears to cover shorts and closed in considerable disorder.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,s54, 900. .United States bonds were unchanged on call.

INJURIES HIT ATHLETICS.
With Subs in Lineup Connie Maek's
 Men Lose Lead in American League

Connie Mack. at the beginning of the season, said he thought he would win the pennant unless misfortune, such as injuries to star players pr pitchers interfered That misfortune has visited the Athletics camp. for with Baker, Oldring, Livingstone, Thomas and Murphy injured in one week and substitutes required for them, it has broken up the team work of the Mackmen considerably.
 Although the Athletics have the best Substitute players in the American league. the fans have already had an leap it is for men like Baker. Liv- ingstone and Thomas to be out at the same time for several days. Rath is a capable understudy for Baker, but he has not the experience of work ing with Barry, Collins and Davis and the smoothness is not there. Lapp is a very good catcher, but certain pitch CTS have become used to Thomas or Livingstone and they cannot do their best when they are not sure that Lapp will back them up fauitlessly.
 The Athletics Have Lost the Lead.
 And yet I am convinced that the Athletics are the "one best bet for American league championship hon. ors. Fortunately, Comics men had lead when misfortune hit them that would allow for a few reverses. And it is not always best for a team to go through a season without some ms haps. It brings out the best fighting spirit that is in them and the victory after a hard campaign is much sweet CT.
 Monday the Mackmen began tour- game series at Cleveland and then St. Louis and Chicago will be played in turn. Their first engagement in the east will be in New York, and 1t is quite likely that first place will hinge upon that series. So that while mis- fortune has visited them. there is ev- cry reason to believe that they will arrive home in first place or so nelr to it that the long home stand durlns July will enable them to make still more certain their ri0ht to win the 1910 championship. - Philadelphia Press

POMFRET CREW BREAKS
 QUINEBAUG RIVER RECORD
Beats Roxbury Latin Six Lensths-1e Seconds Better Than Old Time. /

The Pomfret school four pared crew, rowing on the Quinebaug on Saturday ran away from the four from the Rox- bury Latin school of Boston, Saturday, and won by six lengths. The record which has stood for several years over the mile and a quarter course on the Quinebaug Yer went to smash, although it was not necessary for Pomfret to exert itself to win.
 It was clear from the first half mile that the record would be lowered and the Pomfret oarsmen went to their blades as if the Roxbury oarsmen were passing them. They held a 36 stroke to the finish. The race-~as rowed in minutes 51 seconds, lowering the rec ord from minutes 10 seconds. The makeup of the winning four:
 Stroke, c. Sampson; No. 3. Streeter; No. 2. Smith; bow, Williams: \ cox swain, Fisk.
 None of the oarsmen dropped in either crew at the finish although the members of the losing crew were the more exhausted.

Another good card has been arrang- ed for the Windham Athletic club for Thursday evening, when Sailor O'RourlSe of Willimantic and Billy AL len of Norwich are matched to go six rounds at boxing. Critics are of the opinion that the pair are pretty evenly matched, but look to see a corking good exhibition. O'Rourke is daily inn proving. As a preliminary there will be two events, a fine wrestling match between Peter Lewis and Amos Lewis and a gingery go between two budding boxers.

DETERMINES IRON COUNTY OFF,
GER GUILTY OF MALFEASANCE
AND EXToRTloN.
CONYICTS WORK FOR HIM
r. w. Andrews, of Hurley, the Man
Chosen to Fill Vacancy After Re-
port by Commissioner
and Attorney.

Madison. - Finding that William
Walter, sheriff of Iron County, was
guilty of malfeasance, Governor Dav-
idson ordered that he be removed from
office. He appointed f. w. Andrews
of Hurley to fill the vacancy.
The Iron county situation in respect
to the office of sheriff has long been a
perplexity, and complaints of NAL
feasance, extortion and other offenses
had for some time been freely coming
to the ears of Davidson. The county
board of Iron county made an inves-
tigation and demanded of Sheriff Wal
ter an accounting and explanation, but
that official made neither. Formal
complaint was finally made to the gov
ernor and he appointed b. ]. Castle, a
commissioner, to take testimony in the
case and directed Assistant Attorney
General T. T. Tucker to make an in
vestigation. Upon the evidence taken
Governor Davidson makes his finding.
Governor Davidson finds that Sheriff
Walter failed to account for, or pay to
the county treasury, moneys which he
had collected from prisoners for fines
and costs; that he had extorted
$199.78 from two prisoners, Joseph
Yaglienti and Frank Libertholi, by
making false and fraudulent induce
ments and pretentions to them con.
corning their liberation from the coun.
ty jail, and that he wrongfully com.
PEELED these persons to work upon
his farm for his private gain without
authority of law.
Andrews, named by the governor to
succeed Walter, was formerly sheriff
of Forest county.

TRUST MASS FUND IS LEGAL.
Supreme Court Rules For Catholic
Who Provided For Repose of Souls.

Madison. The creation of a
trust fund for the offering of Roman
Catholic masses for the repose of the
souls of the testator and his relatives
for an indefinite length of time is
valid according to decision handed
down by the state supreme court.
James Kavanaugh, who resided at
Maple Grove, Manitowoc county, pro-
vided by will that $4,000 of his estate
should be turned over to three trustees
charged with having masses said for
him and his relatives. The heirs at
law attacked the will on the ground
that the provision for masses was in
definite and uncertain and in violation
of the law prohibiting the creation of
a trust of the kind mentioned.
The lower court sustained the con-
tentions of the heirs, but the supreme
court reversed that judgment.
