ONE STOCK IS
MARKET FEATURE

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-When the
energies of the speculation had
begun to show signs of tagging
today they were revived by the
resumption of the strong upward
movement in Reading. On enor-
nous transactions the price rose
to 172L only a shade more than a
point below its record price touched
in the speculation era of last year.
The general list was slow TO re-
spond to this development in Read
ing and the sympathetic strength
was not uniform or all embracing.
Speculative sentiment continued to
feel the relief of the passing OF
imminent apprehension over the
anti-corporation question. A fac
tor in this belief was the charac-
ter of the amendments proposed
TO the bill to extend the scope
of the interstate commerce law.
These, ii was felt, were calculated
to allow latitude to the financial
exigencies of railroad corporations.
Incoming reports of renewed
storm blockades through the west
and southwest did not interfere
with the rise in prices. Special
interest attached to a report of a
large reduction in the st. Paul
working forces. Reports of an
intended entry of the Vanderbilt
connection into Baltimore through
the Western Maryland and of Ches-
apeake and Ohio designs upon
Hooking Valley had their effect
on the special stocks involved.
Preliminary estimates of the
weeks currency movement indi-
Gated a large gain in cash by the
banks in spite of the s1,500,000
gold shipped to Argentina today.
The movement of gold from Lon
don to Paris aroused the interest
of New York bankers as an indi
cation that Paris is calling home
credits from the London market.
There was a rise in the private.
discount rate in Berlin. showing
that the gain in strength of the
Imperial Bank of Germany had
removed resources from the open
money market there.
Profit taking sales made some
impression on the market at the
advances and accounted for the

Two Women Escape Bullet Near

In the same manner and within a
few yards of where Rudolph Gastelum
was mysteriously shot to death last
Monday night while witnessing a NOV
ing picture show, another stray bullet
crashed through window on the sec
ond floor of building occupied by the
Pacific Neckwear company at 1901 Cen
tral avenue yesterday morning. Mrs.
A. Overman and Mrs. Jennie Wood,
employees of the company, were at
work in the room, but escaped injury.
No report of a gun being fired was
heard and the bullet evidently came
from a great distance, as in the case
of the shooting of Gastelum.
Detectives ziegler and Ingram from
central police headquarters were de-
tailed to investigate the case. The
bullet could not be found. The hole
in the window appeared to have been
made by a 22-caliber bullet. A search
of the neighborhOod failed to reveal
any person who had discharged a fire.

Captain of Police Lehnhausen, in
command of central station, ordered all
patrolmen working In the Vicinity of
the shooting to personally investigate
the case.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. Extensive
smuggling of Asiatics into the United
States via Tia Juana, Mexico, is re-

Chinese, three Japanese and one Hindu
caught in the attempt to cross the in
ternational boundary line.
The capture was made by immlgra-
tion officers ATTACHED to the local of
flee of the bureau, and is the result,
it is claimed, of stringent orders issued
from Mexico Citv to the rurales at Tia
Juana to aid the American officials in
suppressing the smugglers. The ori-
entails deported today were caught yes
terday afternoon and last night, ana
the immigration officials are now on
the watch for sixteen Chinese who, 1t
is claimed, are hiding in the hills south
of the line awaiting an opportunity
to cross safely into the United states.
The frequency with which strange
Chinese appeared suddenly in San Di-
ego and then disappeared aroused the
local officials of the immigration bu-
reau to unwonted activity. Complaint
was made at Mexico City that the rur-
ales apparently were either aiding the

common business sense. The commits
sion form of government is merely an
application of this business sense. 1t
is an attempt to get a more intelligent
set of officers, paying them well and
requiring them to give all their time to
the work.
"If the commission form of govern
ment is adopted there is no reason why
municipalities should not make a suc-
cess of the public ownership of public
utilities. They should make even a
greater success than privately owned
utilities, because the service rendered
could be so much better. The officers
of private companies are efficient, but
their efficiency is directed towards in
creased dividends.
"The initiative, referendum and recall
are only the application of business
principles to public affairs, and Cali
fornia will surely soon have these pro-
visions in her constitution"

BIGELOW SAYS CITIES
ARE PLAYED AS PAWNS
City Clubs Orator Advises Public
Ownership or Control of All
Municipal Utilities

With facts and funny stories, the
Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow of the Henry
George lecture bureau entertained the
City club yesterday when he told why
the public should own its public utili-
ties. HIS subject naturally led him into
a short discussion of municipal corrup-
tion, and he gave several reasons for
the corruption in city politics.
First, he said, was the Indifference
and lack of intelligence of the mass of
citizenship; another was that the city
has been treated merely as pawn in
the game of state and national politics.;
a third cause. the outgrowth Of mis-
taken system, that of private owner
ship of public utilities.
He declared that public utilities
should be monopolies because there
could not be competition between pub
lie utility corporations, but that If the
public utilities are privately owned the
rates the corporations are permitted to
charge should be fixed by the council
or the governing body. But this charge
should allow for fair return on the
capital actually invested only, and not
on watered stock.
